LuhrS Plant is to Have All Modern
Machinery. Many Orders are on
Hand to be Supplied.

Will Luhrs, son of Henry Luhrs
the brick and tile man, has departed
for Los Angeles, where he will put
in some time studying the manufac-
ture OF brick and tile at the large Cal
ifornia plants.
Last summer and fall Mr. Luhrs
put in a modern brick and tile plant
near this city, The pressed bricE
manufactured proved of more than
usual value as the color is good and
the quality the best made IN this end
Of Nevada. The tiling is to be the
study.
The plant will be started within a
short time as the spring season is
vapidly approaching. Cold weather
and tile making don't work together
rs the frost prevents proper rlpenin2
Of the moulded clay AS soon as the
weather has settled down for the
spring the plant is to resume. It IS
with this in view that Mr.. Luhrs has
gone where tiling is made in large
quantities and get acquainted with
the trade and different models used
in such construction.
The introduction of thing as 4
mode OF irrigation and drainage is
oow recognized as the most modern
and satisfactory methods There is
no loss by evaporation. No bitches
to be constantly attended to and
there is no loss of water which is the
main feature.
During the past few years consid-
cradle tiling has been used in Carson
and nearby valleys where irrigation is
practiCed. 1t each instance it has
been found to be perfect condition
FOR irrigation. During last summer
plant was started in the valley
where concrete tiling was made.
This is not as good product as the
brick thing as it is more expensive
and the porous qualities are not to
be found.
Thing has for many years been US
ed by the German farmers. They

GOOD PLAN
IS PROPOSED

While nearly every other State in
the Union has recognized the auto
mobile and enacted laws for its oper-
alton and control. Nevadi has done
nothing in this regard. The different
town boards and county commi iSsion-
ers have adopted ordinances for the
control ~. automobiles. but in everv
instance they vary greatly from the
laws of other states. Every town
has a different speed law and the
tourists have no way of knowing
when they are violating these ordin-
ances
The Legislature should adopt a
universal speed law for every town
in the state and pass a state license
law taxing autos according to their
rated horse power. All funds thus
collected to be apportioned to the
road fund of the respective counties
in which it is collected-Courier.

NO TROUBLE
At RESERVOIRS

Superintendent Cushing of the
Water Company, states that there Is
no trouble of any nature at the res
abundant supply Of water for all pur-
poses. The early fight on the part OF
the company headed off any chance
of a shortage such as hit Reno.
1t has been found by tests. that a
million and a-half gallons Of water is
being used daily during the extreme
cold. Practically every householder
allows water to run to prevent freez-
ing, which results in the big demand

NEW BUSINESS

brought the system to America AMI
many manufacturing plants are now
being operated to supply the demand.
The farm that sticks to surface irri-
CATION does so either because of lack
of knowledge or lack of funds to car
ry on the improved condition.
1t is the plan at the Luhrs plant
this coming summer to turn out
sufficient supply of this material 70
meet the demand already stocked up.
The plant started too late in the fall
to fill the orders that came in. By a
full summers work with the improv-
ed machinery it is safe to guarantee
that the demand can be filled. Young
Mr. Luhrs will look UP all the latest
kinks in this trade in order to equip
the Carson plant with the proper ma
chinery and material for such con-
struction The plant was among the
going concerns of this city last sum-
mer and fall and employed many

busy shortly and the product should
result in many other sections placing
orders
Inquiries have been received by
Mr.. Luhrs from many sections where
the farmers realize that sub-irrigation
is the more proper method and where
water is limited. The day Of flooding
and waste is rapidly disappearing
and the man with a well-tiled field
will have the advantage over the old
timer who sticks to the up-ground
flooding.
The irrigated sections OF Utah have
accepted the plan and several the
plants are operated in that state The
work so far started in Carson Valley
has been a success. In several in
stances tiling has been used for drain
age and lands that were soured by
water are now under cultivation. 1t
is business proposition and Mr..
Luhrs is starting the business right,
by having his son know the business
before going ahead.

MINERAL
COUNTY
PROSPER|NC
Baby County Makes
Good in Short Time

When the bill was passed little
less than two years ago, creating the
County of Mineral. the ability OF the
residents therein TO carry on a gov
ernment without excessive taxation
was doubted by many and predlc-
tons of financial failure were freely
expressed.
The new county started with no
available money in the treasury aside
from school money. In May, lel ,
$4,000 was received from sale of
bonds.
The rate of taxation for 1911 was
fixed at $3.50 on each $1,000 valuation
only ten cents higher than the rate
of 1910 when the territory OF Mineral
County was a part Of Esmeralda.
The courthouse was bare. It was
furnished sufficiently to carry on bus
mess All the supplies necessary for
the starting Of a new county were
supplied
In 1912 the rate OF taxation was
fixed at $40, the raise OF ten cents
being deemed necessary to meet the
bond payments when due.
The new county has been on a cash
basis all the time. It has paid all OF
its proportion of the bonds for the
building of the courthouse at Gold
field.
With all the bills paid last Monday

With money in the treasury, with
almost the certainty Of the building

gauge adding greatly to taxable prop
crty, and with success following min
ing activity in all parts Of the county.

Nome, Oct. 7-Fully four hundred buildings were de- stroyed by the bowling gale, the worst in the history of the north which swept over this city yesterday. A blinding snowstOrm accompanied the gale and is now piled up all over everything. The gale was responsible for a tremendous sea which swept up over the flats in front of the city and up onto the beach, smashing all the buildings between Front Street and the water into splin- ters. The notorious Sandspit was washed completely away and with it the buildings upon it. Fire broke out on River street and swept over all the lower part of the city, plotting 1t out of existence. Today the wind has fallen, and refugee camps are being established, but the cold weather is hard on tent dwellers. The loss it is estimated will reach a million and a half dollars, but fortu- nately but one death is report ed. The steamers Victoria, Corwin and Navajo at anchor when the storm broke slipped their cables and putting out to sea rode out the gale in safe ty. The smaller craft unable to ride it out were piled up on the beach and there smashed flat. Many people who 60 hours ago were comfortably we'll off are today paupers de- pendent on charity for their next meal.

On it's shoes and on the streams tributary to 1t is timber enough to last pulp mill such as plan-- ned for close on to twenty years. A big creek with a fall of over hundred feet flows from a large lake at the lower end of which is not over half a-mile from the beach, and there is a lagoon there capable of holding millions of feet of logs.
