Death of MIR. P. r. Wates.

Early Friday morning, the 10Th
of July, Mr.. P. R. Wates died at
his home in Edgeheld in the 62nd
year of his age. For nearly year
he had been on the decline physical
ly and for the past l3 weeks was
confined to his bed continuously.
During much of this time he suffer
ed intensely but bore it with beau
tiful patience and Christian forti-
tude. For some time before the end
came Mr.. Wates fully realized that
he would never be well again, feel
ing that life itself was ebbing away,
yet he was perfectly resigned and
faced death calmly and fearlessly.
He had implicit faith in the Saviour
whom he had served for so many
years, knowing that He would ac-
company him through the valley
of the shadow of death.
Mr.. Wates, because of his inner
ent modesty, led a quiet, retired
life, never seeking publicity. or
places of prominence. For that
reason he was really known and ap-
preciated best by those with whom
he was most intimately associated.
For answering devotion to duty,
unfailing loyalty to his friends, un-
compromising convictions, exalted
Christian character AID sterling
qualities as citizen, Mr.. Wates
was without peer. His daily walk
and conversation were far more cir
cumspect and Christ-like than the

GYPSUM BUILDING BLOCKS

The Carson Appeal says that at
the Nevada Gypsum Company's
works at the Mound House there
Is new experiment being tried
that promises cheap and most
durable building material, that
will make substantial house and
one that can be easily erected.
The company is experimenting with
building blocks made of gyspum
or plaster of Paris. Instead of
mixing with sand or other materi-
ais the hard wall plaster is used.
1t is reduced to a paste so that it
will pour. This is then turned
into molds where it is allowed to
set. By this means the blocks are
made exectly true. they do not
shrink. and make light yet
durable building material that ex-
cludes cold and retains the heat of
the rooms. The cost of the mater
ial is far below that vf concrete
and from all appearances it will in
the near future be a rival to the
stone and concrete building materi-
al. Several thousand of these
blocks have been manufactured at
the Mound House. 1t is possible
while manufacturing to make the
blocks any color desired. This
does sway with painting as the
color when in the blocks is practi.
cally everlasting. The material is
also one of the best non-conductors
known. Refined gypsum is now
demanded in every modern house
that is erected. 1t keeps the near
by factory hustling with shifts to
keep up with the orders, and with
this new utility coming into the
market there will be lots of ad-
ditional work at the factory. 1t is
understood that an experimental
house is to be erected in Carson of
the blocks. 1t is conceded to be
cheaper tn N lumber and far more
durable. The blocks now mnu
featured are uniform in size, as
hard as rock, and from all ap-
pearances will make an ideal
building. IS the supply of the
material is inexhaustibIe at this
quarry and others in the state ii
may be that the owners of gypsum
properties will be in the money
when this material becomes uni.
versally used for building houses.

EhTRYAAN MAY SELL
IMPROVEMENTS

A letter from the land depart
ment of the fedt raj government
states that there is no federal
statute prohibiting a homestead
entryman from selling the improve
ments placed by him on his entry ;
the question of removing the i'm.
provements is not within the
federal juris diction, but is within
the control of the local authorities.
A person who relinguishees his
homestead entry. and in connec.
tion with the REIMBURSEMENT sells
the improvements for sum in
excess of his filing fees is not
qualified to make a second entry.
AS a means of making home
stealing more attractive, the law
of 1862 has been modified 80 as
to permit the settler to get a title
for three years occupation, in.
stead of five al formerly; he will
be allowed to be absent from it
for FIVE months each year, if he
