the Utmost workings of the mail
order houses, which he character
lied as Glars, thieves and graft
ers." Said Darling:
"Your home merchants can com
pete with the mail order houses if
they will quit hiding their light
under bushel and advertise their
goods. An advertisement is to
merchant very much what sowing
seed is to farmer. 1t may take
little time for the results to be-
come apparent, but they are sure
to come. The wise farmer is not
niggardly with his seed, nor the
wise merchant with his advertise
ment."
when you want any article of
merchandise, buy it of reputable
home dealer, that the profit may
remain to enrich the community.
Send your money abroad only for
what you cannot purchase at home.
Home talent, home labor, home
industry, home capital, and home
pleasures are things to be fostered,
encouraged and patronized."
The Gretchen Myers Company
furnished fair musical program
ON Saturday afternoon.
On Saturday evening Gretchen
Myers a. Co. gave a full concert
program of music and readings.
The most enjoyment of the evening
was furnished by Loren G. Jones,
the chautauqna manager, who is
tenor singer of high class, and
in response to repeated requests,
delighted the audience with solo
and encore.
To the strain of Dixie" Mrs.
Pickett mounted the platform on
Saturday evening and with charm
ing address and beautiful word
painting, told her story of General
Pickett's famous charge at Gettys-
burg.
On Sunday afternoon Sylvester
Long was the lecturer and his
topic was do You Carer" This
speaker, who is one of the most
widely known men upon the Amer
lean lecture platform, fully sus-
tanned his reputation and gave his
audience an inspirational and
wholesome treat that was in itself
worth what they paid for their
seasons tickets.
A fine sacred concert was fur
nished by the Symphony -Four at
both the afternoon and evening
session.
On Sunday evening-instead of
having a lecturer like DR. Mitchell,
who came Monday afternoon we
had Elias Day, q week day per-
former with but few equals in his
line but hardly suitable for Sab
bath. Mr.. Day is the originator
of impersonation in costume and
as makeup artist has few equals
on the platform, but without his
make-up-as was in keeping with
the spirit of the day-his interpre-
tations were not as natural and in
teresting as they would have been
ON another occasion.
G. @. Mitchell, the lecturer on
Monday afternoon, fully sustained
his reputation as "that fiery little
minister from Rhode Island" and
his lecture on Job, or the Worlds
Ash Heap" would have been most
timely and more appreciated by
the Sunday evening audience. In
terse, epigrammatic way, using
the language of the nresent dav

DR.. Mitchell told of Jobs life,
along the following lines: "Job
had gold, but he didn't sell gold
bricks or hot air or watered stock.
He was not bull on the market.
He. was the man who patented the
square DEAL"
After the lecture the italian
Marine band for over an hour de-
lighted the audience with stirring
and beautiful music which whetted
their appetites for the grand clos
ing concert of fully two hours of
music incomparably rendered on
Monday night, thus making the
last number the biggest hit of the
chautauqua, and SO attoning for
past disappointment and leaving a
pleasant memory of our big anu
sement week that will linger long
after the mediocre numbers are
forgotten.

OUR CAMP TERRELL.
While Other Camps Are Centers of
Rushes Terrell IL Still Working.

Despite the fact that Rochester
seems to have the center of the stage
just now, and is attracting large
numbers of mining camp followers,
Terrell. to the south of us In this
county, continues to have Its firm
adherents. These are men of keen
judgment and able to guess a dis
trict as we'll as IL is possible to de-
fine minerology and work continues
apace as a result OF continued con-
fidence in the ledges of the hills to
the south of Fallon.
Among those who are going ahead
with development work Is w. l..
Cook, who started gasoline hoist
on his Scotia claims and is working
two shifts. Mr.. Cook has issued in
structions to his mine foreman to
prosecute sinking with all possible
expediency and he believes big
mine will result.
There are others, too. and numer-
Gus they are, who believe that Camp
Terrell Is destined to be daddy to
several great producing properties
and that Ii will be on the map long
after many camps that spring up in
night, have been effaced and pas
sed from memory.

THE LOUIS CARARA ESTATE.
Will Found To be Contested BY
Daughter in Colorado.

Attorney Mark Walser, of Reno,
who was in town last week, stated
that a will executed by the late
Louis Carara, who was killed at Ter
rell last May, had been unearthed
over in Mineral county, where an at
tempt was being made to probate
the instrument, but that he would,
acting for Miss Josephine Carara, of
Pueblo, Colo, file contest and seek
to invalidate the will, alleging un-
due influence and that Carara was
not responsible at the time he ex-
ecuted the will.
In the meantime, Mr.. Walser will
seek to have the matter transferred
to the Churchill county district court
The hearing at least on the validity
of the will, will occur before Dis
trict Judge l.. N. French, according
to Mr.. Walser.

that the said charges shall be de-

Stockholders Meeting Last Week

The meeting of the stockholders
and directors of the Churchill coun-

disclosed an exceedingly healthy
state of banking affairs. Cashier C
w. Foote submitted his annual
statement showing the business for
the period from September 1st, 1911
TO January 1st. 1913 had sufficed to
return to the concern a profit that
allowed the declaring of a dividend
OF 81 per share, which is per cent
upon the par value of each share
and nearly 81 upon it's market val
ue. Further s4.100 was passed to
the surplus fund, giving the bank
a total reserve created from past
profits of $4,000 and enough of the
profits remained to allow the charg-
ing off of $4,000 from the valuation
carried on the bank building and
realty and $1,000 from the valuation
carried previously upon the fixtures,

SO far nothing has been heard in
Fallon of the result of the opening
of the bids from the local property
owners for the post Office quarters
but it is believed that the depart

NATIONAL GUARD BOYS.
Take Commendable Step and Plan
To Organize Fallon Fire Com

rany.
The members of Falion Company
"B", of the Nevada National Guard
at the last meeting decided to organ
ize a fire company from the COM
pany roster that will be available
for fire fighting in Fallon. Prelim-
mary steps have already been taken
that assures the organization and
10 light a permanent set of rules and
regulations will be adopted, and the
organization made complete.
This move on the part of the local
guardsmen is highly commendable
and should be fully appreciated by
the local business men. Not long
ago it was pointed out by the under
writer's board, of San Francisco,
that unless some local efforts were
directed towards effecting the or
ganization of an effective fire fight
ing body in Fallon our present fav-
orable insurance rates could not be
long enjoyed. 1t is up to our busi-
ness men to encourage this new civic
organization.

The Hamilton County Branch of the

once sent a circular letter to all the
pastors of the city, instructing them
to warn their congregations against
attending the show. The committee
called upon the Director of Public
Safety and entered a vigorous protest
against the performance on the ground
of its fiagrant offense to public decency.
A subcommittee enlisted the support

then secured the cooperation of the
