FORTUNE CAN
BE MADE HERE BY
GROWING SPUDS
FARMER GRANT cRuMLEY CON-
PILES STATISTICS REGARD
ING HIS POTATO CROP

The Bonanza office received a
present OF box of turnips and po-
tatoes from the Crumley farm last
evening. The gift was from Farmer
Crumley and Mrs. Farmer Crumley,
and shows the splendid product of
the only farm in Tonopah. The tur-
nips are several inches in diameter,
while the potatoes, which are the
Early Rose variety, are the standard
of perfection. As soon as the Bo'
nanza can borrow o coal oil stove
and chicken. mulligan stew will
be enjoyed.
There is a fortune in growing po-
tatoes. according to the total pro
duct of the Crumley farm. Mr..
Crumley has a space 100 feet square
in which his potato crop is located
From this crop he expects to secure
so sacks of spuds. weighing approx
mately two and half tons.
Figuring on the 100 square foo'
space as a quarter of an acre. it car
be readily seen that one acre viii
produce 10 tons of spuds, With th'
tubers at 3 cents a pound, the pro
duct of the acre would return $500.
Since compiling the figures as Civ
en- above Mr.. Crumley is now con
tempiating planting the entire Call
fornia Height region in potatoe
next year.

SPRINGMEYER Is
FORCED FORSAKE

MUST ATTEND EITHER TO RE-
COUNT OR CONGRESSIONAL
BULL MOOSE CAMPAIGN

CARSON CITY, New. August 2l.-
George Springmeyer must decide
whether he win run for congress or
try to wrest the attorney generals
office from Cleve Baker, who defeat
ed him at the last election by 81
votes. He may attempt to do both
and II he does he is facing a sit,ia-
tion which is without parallel in the
politics of the state. The matter
'was brought forcibly TO the attention
of Springmeyer this morning when
Attorney General Baker appeared be-
fore the supreme court and insisted
that Springmeyer either continue his
contest or allow the matter to be
dismissed, He stated that Spring
meyer was either not acting in good
faith by the people or by the court
bin allowing the contest to drag along
as 1t had dragged in the past Baker
insisted on his right to an immediate
hearing and his right to have the
hearing completed without interrap-
ltion until 1t had been absolutely set
tied
! The supreme court set the matter
for tomorrow and the contest is ex-
! pected to go on at that time. Just
/ what action Springmeyer will take in
the matter is purely conjecture. He
has asserted on numerous occasions
that he will prosecute the contest to
1.-THE end. if only for his own salts
faction, but the costs in the matter
are piling up and should he be un-
successful, he will have to foot the
bill. which is expected to reach into
& the thousands,
3 In the event that he continues the
4 lprosecution of the contest it viii

Z ling for the office of congressman to

ticket. Heretofore it has required
, his personal attention in court dur
ing the recount of the ballots Those
. in a position to know state that with
due diligence and no further inter
ruptions 1t will take at least four
months to complete the contest.
There yet remains a great number
of ballots to be counted. After this is
completed there win be arguments
over ballots which have been dis
puted and even those who fix four
months as the time to be consumed
n in the contest are expressing doubt
whether this will really be suffici-
ent. At best the outlook is rather
hopeless.

Citizens and business men Of To-
nopah have declared themselves in
favor of the mass meeting called
for tomorrow night for the PURPOSE
of discussing ways and means Of
securing adequate fire protection for
this city. The question is grave
one and will require considerable
discussion, and 1t is realized that
prompt action is necessary for a
delay might mean that the entire
town win be swept by flames.
Numerous suggestions were to be
heard last evening and today with
regard to the purchase Of new fire
equipment 1t was advocated that
the city purchase Hartford auto
mobile truck that can be connected
with fire hydrant and provide
excellent force for two lines OF hose
This idea is plausible and appears
TO be the solution OF the difficulty
The truck would cost between $4,000
and $4,000 and could be placed ia
commission In an instant

FOR THE BOWELS
Cascaret users never have Head

It is more necessary that you
keep your Bowels, Liver and

than it is to keep the sewers and

Are you keeping clean inside

Cascarets immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, re-

take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system the
constipated waste matter and
