MORMONS BUY NEVADA LANDS
Railroad Official Says 1t Means
A Loss OF Trade BY San
Francisco

The absorption Of Nevada's agri-
cultural lands by che Mormons and the
consequent diversion of Nevada's trade
from San Francisco to Salt Lake is one
Of the most significant developments of
the last year in this State. according to
r. l.. Fulton of Reno, who is perhaps
the best posted man on Nevada real es-
tate, and who. according to the Reno
Journal. says the wave of immigration
from the Eastern States is just reaching
Nevada.
"a different policy in San Francisco
toward Nevada would have held vast
regions once dependent upon her as
headquarters and would have made Me-
vsda as prosperous as Utah or Idaho
and q great field for her enterprise"
said Mr.. Fulton. "Even now she is
missing an opportunity offered to but
few communities. The wave Of immi-
grafton that has worked steadily West,

VILLA RIGA, Ga, May Twenty
thousand dollars worth of property was
DESTROYED by fire in Villa Rica Monday
night about IL o'clock. The storehouse
of williams Brothers was discovered on
fire by Night Waterman Ed Smith and
before any help could get organized the
entire building with contents was de-
stroyed The building was the property
of A. ]. Daniel. a brick structure, worth
81, 900; no insurance on building. The
stock of goods of Williams Brothers is
estimated between $1,000 an 5000; in
surance 5000. 2ts
The fire then leaped to the building of

& Wilson. The. occupants had time to
carry most of their stock &of goods to
the street. lF$
The house, a handsome BRICK building.
valued at about $4,000. was destroyed,
with $1,000 insurance.
The goods of Richardson & Wilson
were damaged several hundred dollars
NJ. d. Henslee & Co.'S store, adjoining

suffered a considerable loss by moving

The Economical Cooking Fat

There is both economy and solid satis-
faction in cooking with Cottolene. Not
only is it more economical than either
butter or lard-one-third less being re-
quired-but it can be used in fine cakes
and pastry with every bit as good re-
suits as butter, and for frying it excels
lard or other cooking fats.
Unlike lard, Cottolene makes food
wholesome, nourishing, digestible. 1t
is made from Cottonseed Oil, the use
of which DR.. Wiley so strongly has
commended.
Cottolene shortens your food-length-
ems your life, and saves you money at
the same time.
