HAS HOPED
FOR HELP
FROM J.. s.
Fred Dangberg Talks
of the Scheme

Fred Dangberg came down
this morning from Reno and re-
turned on the regular train. Fred
is of the opinion that eventually
the government will recognize
the fact that there is Il big recla-
nation problem along the line OF
the upper Carson river and that
some action will be taken to re-
licvc the situation. AS he en-
plains there is plenty OF water II
conserved and that it would not
interfere with the lower projects.
Enough runs off during the spring
foods to not only fill a string of
mountain reservoirs but also fur
nish more than enough for the
Lahonton section and dam.
The late Investigation by gov
eminent officials he is of the opln-
ion will result in some action. he
explains that many thousand
acres Of wonderfully productive
ground are idle merely from the
fact that no water is avilable. BY
storage it is possible to bring this
ground under the farmers are
and once water is vested the val
ne of such land multiplies a hun
dred fold. He with others hopes
that at no very distant date the
government will lend assistance
in this nearby and important rec
lamatiOn.

Seals Ride Horseback NOVEL TRAINED ANIMAL ACT PRESENTED BY THE BARNUM
 AND BAILEY CIRCUS.

Among the trained animal features with the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth this year is company of seals and sea lions trained by Cap tain Winston. They are not to be compared with the trained seals that have been exhibited in the past. They are vastly superior in every way. They enter the arena riding on horses. They juggle fire brands and balls of all sizes, tossing them back and forth among each other. They catch the balls on the tips of their noses and receive the flaming torches between their jaws. The horses run with them at a swift gait but not once do they fal to catch the objects hurled back and forth
 Victoria Codona is another remark able headliner. She comes from Spain 10 amaze Americans with her high wire speciality. She is brilliant sue cess. She is credited in European capitals with being the greatest wire artist on earth. Certainly no one has been seen in America who can equal her. Another amusing novelty is the grotesQue pantomimes and antics of the Alleppos, who until recently were the chief entertainers of the Sultan of Turkey.
 Then there is troupe of Japs alto gether different from the Jap acts so frequently. seen with small shows These artists are from the court of the mikado of Japan. They are showing people in America the real art of jiu jitsu and swordsmanship. Perhaps the most striking novelty in the show Is presented in Katie Sandwina, the strongest and most beautiful woman that ever toured with circus. She pits her strength against that of a horse, she jugsles heavy men as though they were babies and does many more feats, that are thrilling and unusual.
 There are fifty clowns, all famous jun makers, a new parade for the forenoon, and a menagerie with the only baby giraffe in America on ex- hibition. The big show begins with the great scenic spectacle of ..Cleopa- tra,'' the production that amazed New York City by its extravagance. It cost Barnum and Bailey $5OO, ,0O0 and an entire train is necessary to carry it's great portable stage and tons of special scenery and costumes. The thrilling story is told by a cast of 1,050 characters, ballet of 350 danc- ing girls, a grand opera chorus of 800 voices, an orchestra of 100 soloists, 6OD horses, five herds of elephants and a caravan of camels.
 The circus with it's mighty spectacle will be presented, in this city on June 2S, just as it was given in New York where the season was opened last March.

WllkENDA COMPANY SEEKS
 FRIENDSHIP OF TOWN PEOPLE

Especial to the Farmer)
 Stratford. June 20CThe officers of he Wilkenda Land company object to being placed in position of hostility to the people of the town of Strat- ford. It will be. their aim to cultivate spirit of friendliness if they are all lowed to do so. Some time since the company obtained @ verbal permission from the sedectmen to erect two guide boards to direct people from up the valley to Lordship Manor. The signs were small and made as attrac- tive as possible. One was erected at the corner of East Broadway and Main street and the other at Hard's cor nAR. The sign at the centre was torn down with show of indignation not meritod. The officers of the company submit that they are expending a large sum of money at the Manor which will not only add to the grand list of the town but will result In one of the finest residential parks In the country The company proposes to taeke advantage of the natural beau ties of the place and add to them by every means in the art of modern landscape gardening. Thousands of dDuafs are being expended in taking watee< and gas mains to the Manor solth end and practically insure the development Of this section. They have obtained tAe promise of the Con- MCtinmt company to extend it's tracks dOwn; Main street to the Manor thence over L6ng Beach to Sea Breeze and connect with the existing line on Sea- view avenue. The company believes tiSx it should have some credit for thiOs work and be considered a friend of the town. The property owners of the South End are certainly grateful for 1t practically insures an increase in values for every foot of ground be- low HAr6s corQer. The company has contracted for 70 houses to be built at the Manor. 4 contract has also been for the benefit of everyone who choos
 es to visit the place For year the hotil project has been under consid- eratjen but it has not yet been de4in- itely decfded upon. The construction of . hote1 of the magnitude proposed by the company and establishing 1t on q paying basis is a matter which tb0u&1at and much consideration. The hotel is sure to come however, some time in the future for this company has ample capital to develop the prop erty and will invest in any project which good business Judgment endors- e. The company is not Syi1d cat concern but a permanent business or gani1atfon furnished with ample cap ital and backed by men who are abun-- dantiy able to furnish double the amount already subscribed if neces- sary.

DISCUSS DEADLY FOURTH MILE" ON EVE OF
 YALE-HARVARD RAGE.

On the eve of the annual four-mile varsity race between Yale and liar yard, which will lhesthes feature of the regatta on the Thames at New Lon don, Conn, tomorrow, many athletic authorities are discussing the pros and cons of what has been called ..the deadly fourth mile.' Perhaps the greatest of American rowing coaches, Charles F. Courtney of Cornell, de-
 clares that for an oarsman who has been properly trained the fourth mile is not deadly, and need leave no bad after effects. The veteran expert ad- mits, however, that the amount of conditioning required to withstand the gruelling test is such as to seriously interfere with the real work which the student is supposed to pursue at an institution of learning. "It would take twenty-five per cent. less time to prepare for a three-mile race,'' MT. Courtney is quoted as saying. Other men entitled to speak as experts dis agree with Coach Courtney. While this is subject on which doctors dis agree, the spectator of race who has had a close view of the members Of a crew at the conclusion of a terrible four-mile. conflict is likely to hold the opinion that the young men have driv- en themselves to point of exhaus- tion that is useless and dangerous merely as sport If the youngsters were preparing to join the life-saving service, such a struggle to use up the last ounce of strength in the body would be justified. The terrible men tai and physical strain that leaves the participants in utter collapse as soon as the finish line is crossed may not be permanently harmful. The human body can withstand a great deal. It is safe to say that few pugilists en- gagged in long fights to a finish have suffered as much agony as the aver age oarsman in a four-mile race. Long finish fights are now looked upon as brutal-and they are-and the public taste has turned toward the short and snappy boxing contests of from six to to twelve rounds duration. Gan it be that the boxing bugs are more hu- lege-bred spectators of a varsity race? permanent injury from a four-mile race seems, to a mere layman, as a statement incapable of proof. The coach discards from the candidates for a crew all men with weak hearts or other physical imperfections, so far as he as able to detect them. The men who go to the starting line in a four- mile varsity race are pretty nearly perfect physical specimens. They have big reserve fund of vital energy. They can afford to spend a lot of it. How may the coach know for a cer
 tainty that that reserve fund is not permanently depleted, and that the depletion will not be felt in some real crisis of their future lives?

PADS AND FASHIONS
(From Mrs. Maud E. Cilley.)

The very huge headdresses lately in vogue are now going out, and those of more sensible proportions being worn. Sleeves set into the bodice of the dress, but with pleats or frilling that and more.
 One-piece dresses, with coats to match, are shown for children. These are made of rough linen or lightweight cloth
 Skirts with becoming yokes, shaped over the hips and forming panel at the back, are among the newest mod els.
 Some charming little frills are made of black spotted tulle, held together around the neck by tiny posy of flowers
 Crystal buttons are, according to the latest fad, sewn on the thick colored silk to match the collar of the deco rated vest
 In some cases the head is almost completely swathed in fine black tulle as a headdress, tiny. curls peeping from beneath.
 Washable fou1ard is new material, preferred by many to linen. It is much cooler than heavy linen and lighter in weight
 It is even more essential than ever this season that the shoes and stock ings should match the gown with which they are worn.
 A new paraso1 of white silk shows the new sHfrred effect on each panel, with stick of natural wood, finished with a large, flat knob.
 Slipper buckles of colOred brilliants, cut steel, jet silver gilt crystal and rhinestones may be had in endless variety for the colonial slipper.
 The Robespierre fril1 continues to
  made of the finest lawn and real val- enciennes lace are much liked.
 Although not the case earlier in the season, foulard frocks in the more delicate shades of blue especially, are becoming more and more popular.
 Apron panniers which extend over one hip and partly across the back are often of striped material, with slashes of hand embroidery
 In spite of many rumors to the con- trary skirts still remain tight, some so. much so that they have to be split up at the hem to allow freedom for walking.
 Belts of fooled leather are consider ed smart to wear with linen dresses. They are dark and barbaric in de- sign. The buckles and ornaments are of old Egyptian workmanship.
 Linen weayes appear quite heavy almost resembling panama; in a me- alum Welght ana aga1n eXQulSlCely sheer, calling for lace medallions and frothy little valenciennes ruffles on the edge.
 Small bows of black velvet give a decidedly chic touch to the lingerie gown They dot the fichu or appear at intervals around the flounces; again they appear on sleeves instead of but tons. running from the wrist to the elbow on the under side. Taffeta parasols of plain color car ry floral and Persian borders, which for the most part are wide ribbon. The greatest assortment of color schemes prevails, from light. delicate shades to subdued shadowy ones. and to rich oriental colorings.
 Exceptionally lovely is a parasol of white chiffon. printed in shaded pink roses, and linen with white mousseline de soie. One side of the parasol is decorated with a large butterfly of black chantilly lace. The edge is fin ished with narrow band of black vel vet ribbon.

aaEn GOULD, A TO-DAY, IS
 WoRLD'S RICHEST SINISTER

Reautiful as an artists dream. pre- ternA tural1y gifted with intelligence, pos5eesed of all the womanly virtues and q few not catalogued, an angel ister to suffering humanity-such is Helen Miller Gould to the strabismic eyes of the worshipers of great wealth. As q sensible woman, Miss Gould must often have prayed to be proteot- cd from her fool friends. the sob money, if but ordinarily decent and kindly, becomes a demi-goddess with a tWenty-two karat halo.
 Miss Gould is forty-four years old on June 10 1888. the third child of the late Jay Gould. At. the risk of be- ing considered an ungallant grouch, I may add that she. Is not beautiful. A kindly, pleasant cOuntenance she has, and not without. it's charms, but not lovely. Intellectually her equal may be found among a million women of whom the world has never heard and will never hear. Benevolent she is, but not to the point of personal hard- ship or inconvenience- These things Miss Gould herself would probably tell you.
 There is one thing about the elder daughter of Jay Gould that is remark. able-she is. in all probability, the richest spinster in the world. And she
 
 can be no doubt that there have been. and are. thousands of men. who would willingly confer their names upon her The backstairs gossips tell of a dead lover. a romance ended by tragedy, life vow of spinsterhood but these are only rumors. Besides, they are none of my business nor yours Even the wealthy are entitled to suffer in se- cret The society pages Of New York papers have several times whispered of an engagement, but none of the whisperings have materialiZed. Alon- 20 Potter, a son of Bishop Potter, was once mentioned in this connection, but this rumor proved as baseless as the others.
 Miss Gould's fortune has been es- pretend to know Her snare of the railway and other securities left by her father amounted to about $1o.O00.- GOO. Besides this bequest. Miss Gould was given the magnificent mansion, I1yndhurst at IrvingtOn-On-the-H -Hud- son. which cost more than million, and a palatial city residence at 579 Fifth avenue. New York. (Begging letters may be sent to either address.) The railroad stocks have greatly ad- vanced in value, until now it is al- legged that Miss Gould has an annual income of in the neighborhood of a million dollars.
 Few people receive more requests for financial assistance than Miss Gould and a corps of correspondents are kept busy in attending to the daily avalanche of mail. Among the letters are not a few with "obJect, matri- ,nony'', but these take the shortest route to the waste basket. If Miss Gould read all the letters addressed to her she would have time for noth- ing else, and if she fulfilled all the requests for aid she would quickly land m, the poor house
 Scores of colleges churches and charitable and religious associations have benefited from Miss Gould's philanthropic spirit. and she is pre- eminently the most generous of the Gould family. She might give far less. however, and still maintain her supremacy, because the Goulds, by and large, are more takers than giv-
