The Modern Bride in Her Sunptuous Robe White Mat
and Pearl Tulle Attended by Her Shepherdess
Maid of Honor CARRIED in Robe of Quaint Simplicity

I realize that the lace veil, draped
cap fashion under orange blossoms.
still holds, but in England and ON
the Continent, the veil of tulle, vol
luminous and graceful, Ia do riseur.
There must always be a short veil
over the brides face as she walks
to the altar: this is thrown back as
she walks back with her husband.
Your brides of Southern birth and
breeding, / believe, still cling to this
face veil. 1t Is a charming custom,
I think.
But OF what real use Is a lace veil
afterwards? 1t is kept, n many in
stances, for future briAes; grand
daughters in New York frequently
wear wells worn by their grand
mothers. There can bs just as much
sentiment about tule veil as about
an ornate lace one and there Is
much more art in the former, to say
nothing of the betttr taste.
And now to tell you OF the brides
maid, her quaint costume and her
change of pose.
To do a quaint action one must
wear quaint clfhes. Is not this
costume shown here the epitomo OF
quaintness? Ills just simple lit
tie robe of pse pink chiffon. worn
over a petticat of white silk null
and valencetnes lace. Tho seal
loped edges are bound with pale
blue, and tie flowers In each seal
lop are deJeloped in pale blue and
pink. ThFe are clusters Of tucks
to break ne severity of the skirt.
The bdice is as quantity simple
as the ssirt. BY the way, there Is
a DILIGENCE between simple and
quaint Some very elaborate gowns
can hive the quality of quaintness.
In tbs case, however, quaintness
and simplicity go hand in hand.

tioJ Of any kind on the bodice:

artist could have developed.
The Juliet cap Of chiffon and lace

WINTERS MINE
SHIPPING Ore

Tuesday three teams arrived at
Minden loaded with ore from the
Winters mine and marks the be-
ginning of regular shipments to be
made from this property by the
new owners.
The ore is being shipped 20 the
reduction works for treatment and
the new company expects to gain a
good profit from every carload of
silver-lead ore shipped. although the
cost Of transportation is quite heavy.
1t is understood that the COM
pany contemplates the erection Of
a plant at the mine for the reduction
of ores and in this event the heavy
cost of transportation will be
eliminated.
The sight of ore teams passing
through town from the Pine Nut
districts gives forth encouragement
that this county is nearer than ever
before to joining the mineral pro-
ducing counties of Nevada.

Death Of Mrs.
Charles Rulison

After months of suffering, Mrs.
Chas Rulison passed away last
Thursday at her home in Carson.
Of the many deaths that have
taken place in this city during the
past year, none are fraught with
more pathos of sadness than that of
Mrs. Rulison. A woman loved and
respected by all. one with heart
that overfiowed with human kind
ness, she was taken down with a
cold last October which soon de-
veloped into pneumonia, For days
she was in precarious condition but
rallied from the attack and gained
strength for time but it was soon
seen that the arch enemy had left
disease which medical science at
this time has failed to conquer.
Her husband took her to southern
California, where it was hoped that
the change of climate would prove
beneficial but without result and
then she was taken to famed sani-
tarium at Auburn where she re-
mained for some time, but health
would not return. Realizing that
the shadows were drawing near, she
asked to be taken home and in May,
accompanied by a trained nurse,
Mr.. Rulison brought his wife home.
Everything possible was done for
her care and comfort bu. d.. she
grew weaker and her .-~...l5
more hard to bear, unsil the
messenger came and her plri
winged its way to the unknowh
land.
Carrie Headrick Rulison was a
native of San Francisco and had just
passed her forty-seventh year. Her
early days were spent in San Fran
cisco and at the age of fourteen
came to Carson. On the oath day
of December, 1888, she became the
wife of Chas. L. Rulison, master
mechanic of the V. & 7. railway.
One child was born to bless the un-
ion, daughter. who passed away
eight years ago.
The deceased leaves a husband
and mother, Mrs. Carrie Headrick
of Gardnerville to mourn her death.

Solution Prevents
Infection Of Cows

The contagious abortion in cattle
has proved to be one of the most
costly diseases to which agriculture
has been subjected. Methods Of
prevention have been under investi-
pation for some time without great
promise eradicating the infection.
What appears like specific against
the disease has been found by DR..

Experiment Station. either fed in
solution or injected hypodermically.
He observed that cows as a rule will
eat with relish as much as $50 C. c.

treatment in an infected herd In
wolves less labor than feeding. The
method used with range cattle was
To run them into a chute and inject

blade every two weeks. In cases Of
impending abortion, the solution
can be injected, in sufficient qua IT,

MILL IN NOW
CRUSHING ORE

A new era dawned in Alpine
county Tuesday morning when the
machinery in the mill recently COM
pleted by the Curtz Consolidated
Mines company was started in mot
ion and is now crushing rs tons of
ore per day. The plant is an inn
proved Huntington mill and is the
first unit of large plant that the
company intends to erect. The
mill is located near the mouth of
the tunnel and is operated by cleo
trio power furnished by power
plant on the Carson river and owned
by the same company.
The capacity of the electric plant
will be increased in the near future
to deliver 1000 horse power which
is the amount that will be required
to operate the machinery about the
mine and mill.
The mill now in operation is being
used to determine the best method
of ore reduction. It's successful
operation means the immediate en-
largement of the plant to treat the
vast amount of ore already blocked
out in the mine.
j. G. Hauschildt, president of the
company, together with several
stockholders, were up from Oakland
to witness the starting of the mill.

What Papers
Say About ak
Commission

l1dSl Wcch lllc RcCOiQ-OOultC tCi
pointed out the injustice that would
result should the Board of Equaliza-
tion act upon the instructions of the
State Tax Commission. In Elko
county the Board of Equalization
has refused to turn over the assess
ment roll to the Tax Commission on
the ground that the law did not re-
quire it.
In Washoe county the district at
torney has decided that the orders
of the commission are not manda-
tory.
Thus it will be seen that the law
empowering the commission to work
is being knocked full of holes in
every part of the state. The Reno
Gazett has the following to say a
bout the question:
That the Nevada Tax Commiss-
ion is powerless to compel the coun-
ty boards of equalization to raise or
lower assessment established by
assessors is the opinion of Assistant
District Attorney Moore after an
examination of the law creating the
commission. 1t is the opinion of
the county official that the county
board of equalization may use its
own discretion in increasing assess
ments and in cases in which the
figures of the tax commission are
doubted may refuse to act, leaving
the matter up to the commission
when it reviews the tax rolls next
month.
The point was raised when the
equalization board received instruc-
tions from the commission to estab-
lish assessments in accordance with
with figures furnished the board
The board found that in many cases
the commission was in error and re-
fused to act, leaving the matter up
to the state board.
In the case of most of the sheep
owners cited by the commission the
figures furnished are believed by
the county board to be correct.
They correspond to the county
assessors roll. In cases, however,
where two sets of figures vary there
is no proof on which to support the
estimates made by the commission
and the question of whether to as
sumo the tax commission or the
assessor correct presents itself,
Many sheep owners herd their bands
close to the state line keeping their
focks in California part of the time
and in Nevada part of the time. In
some instances these sheepmen have
given in half their band to Washoe
county and the other half to the
California authorities.
The Elko Independent says that
the Tax Commission declares if nc
cattle or sheep reports are filed il
will base the taxation on the last re-
port filed in their office.
Local attorneys will object to
taxation on such a basis claiming
/ that such information is generally
j purely hearsay and unreliable.
1t now looks as if the Tax Com
mission will be done unto death be
fore it gets done fighting with the
cattlsmen, sheepmen and county
officers of the state. The law is SC
inconsistent and full of loop holes
! that it will be shown at the finish
1 the State Tax Commission doesn't
amount to anything and has ne
power to NEEDLE with the taxation
machinery of the State of Nevada.
