Long Calls By
Telephone

From manager Phillips it is learn
ed that the use of long distance tele-
phone is coming into use more and
more, especially in transacting bust
ness between this point and San
Franciso and other coast cities
There was a time when all of this
b asiness was transacted by tele-
graph. The telephone was not be-
lieved to be practical for long
distance, and in fact was not until
the local system was reconstructed.
TIE wire to the coast talks up clear
and distinct and business men find
that the phone service is more salts
factory than telegraphing,

Ice Harvest
Completed

The local ice harvest was finished
unde very favorable conditions and
the ice houses are jammed ablock,
door closed and the saloon men and
Others don't care whether it freezes
or not any more this winter. Hard
ly had the harvest been completed
when the weather moderated and
the ice melted like a SNOWFALL in
a an oven.
By past experience it has been
found that inch ice in December
is better than shipping ice from
Truckee. Occasionally freezing
weather OCCURS in January but it
is far from certain. Hence those
who have use for ice deem it ad-
visable to harvest in December.

Dance Was
Decided
Success

The New Years dance given at
Valhalla hall Tuesday evening was
attended by about Sc couple,
quite a few of whom were from
Lake Valley, Alpine and Mono coun-
ties. The hall had been neatly de-
corated for the occasion and gave a
touch of beauty to the appearance
of things. The grand mach start
ed at nine O'Clock and was lead by
Will Ritchford and sister, Miss
Mabel. The Reno orchestra furn-
ished enhancing music, were ex-
tremely willing to play an encore to
some particularly number that took
the fancy of the dancers. Every
one present seemed to enjoy them
selves to the limit. So, as the old
year dimmed into the past and the
New Year came inc existence the
dancers gave on evidence of sorrows
of the past or bright dreams of the
future. And why should they?
They were living in an hour of en-
joyment and for that hour only.
People attend dances and the like
to forget the realisms and preplexi-
tiessncountered in the daily hustle,
and live only for the time.
The supper was served at the
East Fork hotel and last to be seat
ed we're served as equally as well as
the first.

INDIAN SUMNER

Looking down the mountainside this

the song of the mating oriole mingled

the spray of wild rose, whils others
heard only the sibilant whirr of wings,
the discordant rush of the torrcnt AMI
held only the empty nest. There are

saliva aids the stomach by its ability
to mix the food eaten with mouth juices
which enables it to more readily do its
work
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into the
mouth like food, are eaten. then dissolved

BY all means use a Stuarts Dyspep-

loss of hunger. The quick return OF
appetite to you will convince you quickly
that your stomach has been out of order

the means of restoring it's normally
