WHO IS THIS MAN HEER?
Well, Here Are Some Things He
Has Done in Law, Business
And Mining.

A. A. Heer, candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Justice of the Su-
preme Court, and for whom the at
torneys of Nevada have expressed a
preference by vote of more than two
to one as against the combined strength
of the other two candidates, is member
of the first of Mack, Green, Brown a.
Heer, of Reno, than which no firm In the
state has higher standing either with
the bar or the public. He is a native of
Missouri, was educated at the Univer-
sity of Notre Dame, Indiana, gradual
ing in the law at the early age of eigh-
teen. This attracted considerable att
tention in that state at the time, owing
to the efforts of the University and the
governor to find some way around the
requirement of the law that applicants
for admission to the bar be not less than
twenty.one years of age. Being unable
to accomplish this, Mr.. Heer spent the
years until his majority in study anc

THE TERRILL preliminary
Was Heard In Justice Jones'
Court Yesterday And Was
Continued.

The preliminary hearing of Bud Ter.
rill. charged with the murder of Louis
Carera and the serious wounding OF
George Flessa on May 9th, 1912. during
an alteration over the ownership of a
mining claim in the Terrill mining dis
trict, occurred yesterday in the local
Justices court. The state was repres-
ented by Mark Walser, of Reno, and
the defendant by +. E. Winters. Mrs.
Louis Carera, the complaining witness,
was in court, together with her daugh-
ter, Josephine, and George Fles-
sa, who has sufficiently recovered
from his wounds received at Terrill's
hands. to be able to be around.
The state asked for a postponement
of the case and based the demand on an
affidavit from the complaining witness,
setting forth the alleged facts that a
number of highly important witnesses
for the state were unserved with sub
penas and could not be brought here
until idteT udie.
The affidavit goes on further to re-
late that a number of the witnesses
desired by the state, are competent to
give damaging evidence against the de-
fendant in this instance in support of
the states case of murder.
Following the introduction of the
affidavit asking for continuance
Judge Jones took the matter under ad-
visement until one o'clock, when he
gave his decision, remanding Terrill in
to the custody of the authorities With
out bail and setting the preliminary for
next Monday at 10 o'clock,
Something like l3 witnesses were
brought here from Terrill at the in
stance of the defense, but il seems
their evidence is necessarily circum-
stantial, the only living eye witnesses
to the affair being George Flessa and
the defendant.
In the meantime, the case of the
State VS.. TerrilI on the charge of as
sault with intent to kill, committed up
on the person of George Flessa, was
dismissed.
It is understood that Pat MeCarran,
the Reno attorney. who is out for the
Democratic omination for supreme
court justice, will be associated with
the defense in the TerriIl case.
Louis Carera, Bud Terrill's victim,
left an estate of around $4,000. which
will go to his daughter Josephine, who
has resided in late years with her moth
er in Pueblo, Colo. Inasmueh as Carera
died intestate the entire estate will
revert to his daughter.
An administrator will be appointed
shortly and the estate probated in his
county.

his life by cutting the arteries of both
wrists. He made Jagged wounds with

THE COUNTY FAIR.
Steps Have Been Taken To
Make Annual Exhibit.

The moving spirits in the Truckee-
Carson Fair Association met yesterday
and formulated plans for the annual
event some time in September The
fair this fall will be featured by a
race meet, and the annual agricultural
display will be prepared. The time is
short in which proper preparations can
be made and the local people having the
matter in hand should bestir them
selves.
The Truckee- Carson fair has been an
annual event for a number Of years
and its pronounced success has elected

ture. The Southern Pacific Company

HAY MARKET WILL Be GOOD
Lassen-Fernley Railroad Work
Promises To Take Much of
Our Production.

The railroad construction forces work
ing north of Wadsworth are consuming a
vast amount of Nevada products, chief
ly hay and grain. 1t is reported from
the Fernley district that as high as Sic
per ton is being offered for baled hay
and that the entire surplus is being ac-
tlvely sought. 1t is also claimed that
the surplus hay of this part of the pro-
ject will be marketed largely to the con-
tractors on the railroad work. Our bar
ley and oats will doubtless find a ready
sale through the same avenues.
Much hay has already been purchas-
ed in the Humboldt valley, but this Sec
being more conveniently located to the
line under construction will have the
call on the Lovelock section, particular
ly in the event that disposition to
seek out the market is shown by local
hay raisers.
Last season witnessed strange con-
dition of affairs in the marketing of
hay. The large hay raisers were most
eagerly sought after by stockmen who
made large purchases for 81 per ton
and less, the small man. the while neg
lected, selling his product later for
about twice as much. This demonstra-
tion has forced the conclusion in most
quarters that hav sold too cheaply at
the beginning of the marketing season
and there will be little hurrying to
convert alfalfa into money this fall.
1t is generally conceded that it will
start at $8 or better in the stack and
that the market will be rising one
throughout the winter, owing to the
scarcity of hay on the coast and the
great amount of railroad work that
will be In progress throughout this
stste.

NEVADA HILLS BULLION TEYA LETTER FROM SECRETARY
Says Recognition of Our Water
Users Association Is
Impossible.

Hon. r. L. Douglass, president Of
the Truckee-Carson Water Users As.
ISOLATION, is in receipt of communica.
tion from Samuel Adams, first assis.
tant secretary Of the interior, which
is in answer to a number of demands
that were recently made upon the de-
partment for innovations for this pro-
ject. The assistant secretary's letter
sets forth the alleged fact that the
government is actively seeking control
of the outlet of Lake Tahoe and that a
number of condemnation suits are al
ready in progress.
1t further cites the fact in answer to
the query why commission could not
be appointed to investigate such mat
tiers, that the secretary is the respon-
sible officer of the government, and
says further that his powers of final
decision should not be delegated to
others.
Relative to the recognition by the
government of the local water users
association, the assistant secretary
says it is highly questionable whether
such an organization is necessary at
this time. Such organizations being
private corporations, can Of course be
perfected without the intervention of
the United States, the only question
for consideration, according to the
communication. being whether the
government should make a contract with
such an association whereby the latter
guarantees the payment to the United
States of the amounts levied by the
secretary of the interior against the
lands of its shareholders.
The communication goes on further
to reeite that one of the principal rea-
sons for such organizations is in the
preliminary stages of the project being
developed to assure the United States
that sufficient acreage of private land
will come into the project to make it a
/ success.
In short the assistant secretary's let
ter is one those brief and evasive
communications that neither iterates
or denies. but simply leaves bad taste
in the mouth. But it makes one thing
almost certain and that is that the gov
ernment will look with askance upon
the proposal for recognition and delega-
tion of authority and will counter with
the claim that the formal recognition
of such an association is not unnec-
essary.
Mr.. Douglass is anxious that a Pc
tition be signed by every water user in
the project, urging the immediate in-
crease of the working force at Lahon-
tan to a point that will reduce the time
required for the dams completion from
three years to IS months. With the
present year in mind, it is set forth
that a succeeding year or even two
succeeding years may be characterized
by drouth, in which event the farms of
this project must suffer.

RAILROAD RATES ARE RAISED
Coast Terminal Points Will Suf-
fer By The Proposed Change
of Rates.

The announcement of q sweeping ad-
vance in transcontinenta freight rates,
in some instances amounting to as
much as 100 per cent, has been made
at the general offices of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company, following the
receipt of advance copies of the new
rate tariffs from Eastern officials.
These increases are due, so the COM
pany states, to the rigid enforcement
of the long and short haul laws and the
successful complaint of intermediate
points against terminal rates based on
water competition.
Eastbound rates are principally af-
fected, particularly as to shipments
in less than carload lots. All CalifoF-
mia products going east after August
18th will move under an advance
ranging from rs to 100 per cent On
September I'd the westbound rate
becomes operative at sufficient in
crease to destroy all the benefit of
water competition now enjoyed by ship
pers. All coast seaports will feel the
change heavily since rates between the
terminals will be made on the same
scale as the terminal rate. Heretofore
the merchants of the Coast ports have
had the advantage of water competi-
tion as against Esstern competitors,
since the charge from the Eastern ter
minal to an inland point on the Pacific
Slope amounted to the entire through
rate plus the local charge from the
Coast terminal back to the point Of
destination.
The new rates were compiled at Chi
cago by the chief freight and trafiic
officials of the road concerned. They
worked under what Is known % the
Western Classification COMMITTEES. It
Is said here that the new schedules are
in strict compliance with the rulings Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and that in return for the Commissions
approval, the roads have consented to
let their present contests drop. Mean.
time, both sides are awaiting the out.

appeal before the United States Sd
preme Court. This case was the one

cal than the east, ranging from about
rs to 40 per cent.

CHEAPER INSURANCE.
Fallon IL To Have Rates More In
Accordance With Conditions.

Fallon Is to have a reduction in fire
insurance rates and that very soon. The
board of underwriters having the mat.
ter in hand was represented in Fallon
last week by K. c. Hamilton, who went
thoroughly into the matter of water
supply, fire alarm system and organiza-
tion back of the same and his report
will be submitted in person within q
short time to the underwriters board.
Mr.. Hamilton took occasion while here
to praise unstintedly the city engineers
work, which he says has been of the best.
The fire hydrants and their locations
was feature particularly pleasing and
while Mr.. Hamilton would not commit
himself relative to the probable reduc-
tions he gave US to understand they
would range from 20qo to 40T.
The best reduction, of course, will be
accorded the new fire proof buildings
fronting on Maine street, while the
wooden structures will receive but slight
benefit from the proposed changes,
the fire hazard having been reduc-
ed less in the latter than in the former.
Mr.. Hamilton stated that Fallon had
the foundation laid for as good fire pro-
lection as was to be had anywhere.
He took occasion to call attention to
the fragrant danger presented by the
extraordinarily large amount of gasoline
carried in the business houses Of the
town within the fire limits. This sup
ply, he said, sometimes reached the
amazing amount of 700 or 800 gallons
and he made it plain that the towns
property could never carry the extreme
low rates until this nuisance was abat-
ed. Gasoline lighting plants also mill.

and still other factors entered into the
consideration.
He urges the city officials to further

morning bright and early uniformed
youngsters appeared OH the streets of
