cit is with great sadness that I
announce to the people of Nevada the
death Of my dear friend and colleague
George s. Nixon. Modest and un-
obtrusive. hut calm and forceful, he
has made his mark in the councils of
the senate, while his generosity, kind
illness and sympathy have won him a
hest of enduring friends. The loss to
his family and friends and to Neva-

cannot be measured.

Sad News Received in Winnemucca.
The first news received of the
death of Senator Nixon was con

but stopped short as soon as they
came in view of the building and no.

TO EXPERIMENT IN

Kuhns Donating Tracts to
Government for Expert
mental Purposes.

Donating farms for experimental
purposes is the latest plan of the
kuhns and Idaho is to receive the
benefit, II story appearing in the
Pittsburg- Gazette is correct 1t is as
follows:
Upon request Of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington. j. S. and
w. S. Kuhn have vested the United
States government with 40 acres of
land as an experimental station on
potatoes for the western states and
Eugene II. Grubb. the Kuhns' consult
ing agriculturist. who Is also coun-
selior of potato growers for the Oregon
Short Lilne and Union Pacific rail-
roads, is on his way to Washington to
meet with the committee on uuaran-
tine of plant diseases and insect pests
That are Imported to America from
foreign countries.
Mr.. Grubb has done many big things
in agriculture. notably to perfect the
breeding and practical cultivation of
staple variety of potatoes, and to
introduce and adapt to American con-
ditions the advanced farm practice
of Europe

In speaking of the Kuhns' gift to the
potato Industry of land and water for
irrigation, Mr.. Grubb said at Is some
OF the most valuable in agricultural
interests of recent times. Nothing is
so much needed to the country at large
and of special value to the great irri-
CATION fields Of the northwest section
of this country Only for this time

sibly be years before this splendid and
much needed government station for

Is only one Of the many advanced
and beneficial things the Kuhns have
done to aid and better the conditions
of the settlers on their large irriga-
ton projects in Idaho and northern
California. The solving of the many
problems confronting the settler on
new land and under new conditions
is far reaching and eventually extends
to the whole United States. especially
to those sections devoted to sugar
beet and potato production"
On Sept. Is Mr.. Grub was in the
Chicago markets, where Idaho pota-
toes sold in carload lots at 80 cents
a bushel, while Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan potatoes sold at AZ

CLOSING OF BANK
CAUSES SURPRISE
Bank of Culdesac Is Closed
by Order of State
Examiner.

The closing of the Bank of Culdesac
at Culdesac, caused genuine surprise in
north Idaho. according to information
received here in state circles. The in
stitution was closed by order of State
Bank Examiner V. w. Plat. The liza
bilities of the institution are given out
as $4,000. The institution holds state
and county funds to the amount OF
about $4,000.
The failure is attributed to bad loans
chief among which is the financing OF
a sawmill project. Efforts are now
being made by state Bank Examiner
posters will soon be available.
The Bank of Culdcsac was organized
several years ago and it's officers were
j. S. Martin. president; George S. Mar
tin, cashier. The last statement was
published on September T.
Some of the loans responsible for
the insolvency of the institution date
back for considerable period, while
others are of more recent date. 1t is
believed that all depositors will be
saved from loss and that their funds
will not be tied up for any considerable
period.
The failure of the bank came as a
complete surprise to the Culdesac peo-
pie as the investigation by Bank Exam
ner Plat and his assistants had been
carried on most quietly There is no
suggestion that efforts will be made to
feorganiZe the institution and it is be-
lieved the business will be closed up at
an early date

Baking Helps
Learn to Regulate the Heat of
Your Oven
IyNrs. Janet Mckenzie Hill, Editor Of
the Bost0n Cooking School Magazine

ByAlrs. Janet Mckenzie Hin, Editoyof
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
There is just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface. Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake is
fully rizen; then increase the heat,
so as to brown it over. quickly.
Extreme heat stiffens the dough.
If you stiffen the outside of the
cake before the rising is complete,
you stop the rising process. Then
the leavening gas, forming inside,
will bulge up the center, where
the dough is still soft, and spoil
the shape of the cake. "A
NorE-Biscuits or other pastr;e.
made from stiff dough, that are cut into
shapes tor the oven, bake in hot oven.
This is because the cut surfaces of the
dough do not scar over, but rather
leave the pores open, allowing the
leavening gas to escape and the heat to
penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly; therefore they should be made
several degrees hotter than a larger
oven. and the less the door is opened
the better. Do not attempt to bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re.
quires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
: Have strong underheat for baking
powder preparations, especially pastry.
