Warm Fight is On
For Speakership

The fight for the speakership OF
the assembly goes merrily along.
Five aspirants are now in the field
and it looks like a close race. Friends
of George Cole of Manhattan early
took up his candidacy and be with
w. j. Hunter of Esmeralda, seem to
be The two gladiators who are fit for
the fight. 7. H. Brandon of Hum
boldt, is trimming down to weight,
while Judge Fitzgerald of Eureka,
is also mentioned. w. M. Gardner
of Reno, is sparring around and
should he come with his entire dele
cation he might cut the ice. AS the
Democrats and Republicans divide
honors in Washoe his chances do not
look as favorable as the men from
the southland. There will be lot
of preliminary sparring early next
month, as the plum seems worth
picking this season.

Monuments From
Mono Granite

H. A. Pitts was down from Topaz
this week and spent several days in
Valley in the interest of the George
w. Davis Company, who are in the
monument business at Topaz. Mr..
Pitts states that they are doing con-
siderable work and have completed
several big jobs in the several ad-
joining counties. The company is
doing granite work and from a
sample which Mr.. Pitts carries with
him it is judged to be the very best
material for monumental work.
The goanite is dark and takes high
polish, being almost as hard as flint.
The sample shown is lettered and
is beautifully done. The granite is
quarried in Mono county where the
Davis company has set up complete
plant for working the granite into
monuments and copings. Those
contemplating erecting monuments
to mark the resting place of depart
ed relatives, will do we'll to get
prices from their agent, Mr.. Pitts.
The company has an ad in this issue.

To Trim Down
University Expense

After a two days session during
which they went over the accounts
of the last two years, the state board
of regentf of the Nevada university
completed their work on the budget
for the years 1884 last night and
ask between $4,000 and $40, 900 less
than the budget for 1911 and 1912.
They ask for an appropriation to
establish a poultry department at
the experimental farm of the agri-
cultural college and for a dairy
buildinf to cost less than $4,000. A
A further sum is also asked for a
library building. The difference in
the two budgets is accounted for by
the absence of requests for building
appropriations bringing the totals
down from S260,000 to approximate
ly 1920, 900. Reno Journal.

The Next Social
Event is q
Dance

The next social event and the last
one that will be held in this Valley
this year, will be the New Year s
dance that will take place at Val
halla Hall, Gardnerville, on next
Tuesday night New Years Eve.
Those in charge of this dance are
exerting every effort to make this
one of the most enjoyable affairs
yet held here. The Reno orchestra,
which has been engaged for the &C.
casion, is recommended to be one of
the best in the Riverside City, and
as good music is one of the impor-
tant factors that go to make up an
enjoyable dance, the people are thus
assured of the best in this line that
is procurable in the state. Pre-
grams have been printed and the
dance will lack none of the details
that are expected. The supper will
be held at the East Fork hotel, and
the pleasing reputation gained by
management on previous occasions,
will be upheld.
Remember, the dance is to be held
next Tuesday evening.

New Departure
For Co. Schools

The Douglas County Teachers
Association, which was organized
some time ago for sthe purpose of
discussing common problems and
bringing the schools of the county
IN closer relationship, have decided
to give union picnic and field meet
at the end of the school year.
The field events will consist of
potato races, sack races, dashes, hop,
skip and jump, tug of war, hurdle
races, shot put, high jump, broad
jump, and a relay race. Some
events will be free for all" and
others for the more promising young
athletes representing the various
schools.
Another feature of the day will
be a program rendered by the
various schools working in conjunc-
ton. While the exact nature of
the program has not as yet been de-
cided upon it will probably consist
of songs, declamations, possibly
spelling contest and oral arithma-
tic, if time will permit.
A school exhibit will also be ar
ranged, consisting of drawing, writ
ing, composition and such other
work that can be readily exhibited.
In order to carry out all that has
been planned it will be necessary to
make an all day affair of the oc-
casion. Parents may come with
their families, bring basket lunch,
thus pleasant and profitable day
be spent.

EGGS are Just
Common EGGS

Eggs have taken a tumble and
this week they reached the remark
able low price of % cents a dozen,
an almost unheard of price for the
month of December. Usually eggs
are considerd an expensive luxury
at this time of the year, bringing in
the neighborhood of so cents doz-
en-. In fact they were bringing that
price this month, but they started
to tumble and did not stop until the
25 cent mark was reached and from
indications the price may continue
downward. The slump caught some
of the dealers with a good supply of
90 cent eggs on hand and stand to
dispose of them at the present
market price
Just what is responsible for the
sudden drop in price, is not known,
unless the Carson Valley hens are
laying their heads off" and have
flooded the market. 1t is stated
that the California market has been
flooded with cold storage product
with the result that eggs there are
selling for Is cents.

MORMONS ARE
COMING IN
As a Result Trade Is Switchine
From Coast TO Salt Lake
City.

The ABSORPTION of Nevada's agri-
cultural lands by the Mormons and
the consequent division 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 K. l.. Fulton
of Reno. who is perhaps the be. I
posted man on Nevada real estate,
and who says the wave of immigra-
ton from the eastern states is just
reaching Nevada.
"A different policy in San Fran
cisco towards Nevada would have
held vast regions once dependent
upon her as headquarters and would
have made Nevada as prosperous as
Utah or Idaho and great field for
her enterprise" said Mr.. Fulton.
Even now she is missing an oppor-
tunity offered to but few communi-
ties. The wave of immigration that
has worked west, covering in turn
Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and
states adjacent has reached Nevada
and large tracts of land ore being
subdlvided and will make homes for
thrifty farmers by the thousand.
Since April lst more than quar-
ter of million acres of Humboldt
and adjacent valleys have gone into
the hands Of the Moormon church or
allied interests, instead of being
sold to settlers who would become
customers of the west coast they
will do every cent of their trading
at the Zion Coop. stores. Three
times as many acres have been alb
sorbed in the same way within a
very few years.
The Sparks Harrel ranch, with
200, 900 acres, the Hardin ranch

May Enact IacOme Tax Law

1t is more than probable that the
State of Nevada at the incoming Of
the legislature will see an income
tax law on its books. The talk is in
the air and the fact that the law is
working in other states will be the
incentive to bring in revenue to the
treasury. Between the inheritance
and income lax in Utah, the treas
ury is being kept pretty fat. 1t has
enabled the state to improve every
state holding, has filed a treasury
and more is in sight.
