While the legislature at the Capitol
were discussing and debating over
the segregation of the school children.
based on color and race, the Fire and
Police Board were trying white po-
licemen for dancing with Negro girls
at a Negro ball. It's strange how the
color line can influence.
If we had the ear of President
Woodrow Wilson, we would suggest
to him that he appoint the foremost
champion of human rights and exact
Justice, Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker,
as U. .. supreme court justice, an
equal balance to the Southern mem
bers already appointed by President
Taft.

THIS WILL BEAR
INVESTIGATION

1t has been reported by certain
competitors of mine, that buying
a Jackson car would be buying an
out of date machine. On the con-
trary, the 1913 Jackson ears are the
most up-to-date on the market.
Large, roomy bodies, with upholstry
10 inches deep, full elliptic springs
front and rear, with weight of ma
chimes distributed so as to make the
riding qualities of the Jackson equal
to the largest and highest priced
cars. The breaking of springs is
practically unknown with Jackson
car. In case you need repairs for
Jackson, the parts may be had as
easily and quickly as for any other
make of car. The Jackson Motor
company of San Francisco carry in
stock every extra that may be need
ed can be had Immediately. How
ever, the Jackson cars are built so
simple, with minimum of parts,
that there is far less chance of any
thing going wrong. The 1913 Jack
sons are equipped with a powerful
electric self-starter, which not mer-
ely turns the motor over, but spins
it. They are equipped with electric
lights throughout, electric horn, ETC.
and are built with large wheels and
tires. Fitted with demountable
and quick demountable rims.
Investigate before buying; the
more you learn about autos, the
more easily you will recognize the
superiority of the Jackson. They
are built by manufacturing con-
Germ that has made automobiles for
l2 years, and who for 80 years have
built vehicles. | ask that you in
vestigate and learn the truth about
the Jackson cars before purchasing
machine.

FORTY TON MILL FOR
LONGFE[LOW Mine
Management Socs Aid From County Commissioners Repair
ing Road Into Red Canyon Dsrcl--V. & T.
Railroad Offers Assistance.

+. W. Carman, superintendent
and general manager of the Long
fellow mine, writes to the Record
Courier from Cleveland, Ohio, that
he has succeeded in raising the re-
quired capital to equip 40 ton
mill and put on three shifts in the
mine which is located in Red Can
yon.
Mr.. Carman will leave Cleveland
shortly for Denver, Los Angeles and
San Francisco to purchase the need
ed machinery. The old mill build
ing at Carman Heights many years
ago by the late A. c. Pratt, is to be
remodeled to accommodate the new
machinery.
A White steam automobile is to
be used to haul camp supplies to the
mine and as soon as the mill is in
running order a 60 h. p. White
steam tractor will be used to haul
ore from the mine to the reduction
plant.
The funds to carry on this work
has not merely been promised but
has been subscribed and the cash is
in the bank ready for the payment
of the new plant and all other ex-
penses.
Before this machinery can be
hauled to Carman Heights it will be
necessary to repair the road and
probably build one or two small
bridges. In the past the Longfellow
company has expended about $4,000
on this road without the assistance
of anyone. Last fall Mr.. Carman
appealed to Mr.. Ardery of the V.

Place Last
Sunday

AT the home of her brother. Har-
ry Curtz, in Gardnerville, Edna
Bidewell became the bride of A. B.
Goulardt Sunday afternoon, Rev.
Menzel of the Lutheran Church,
officiating. The ceremony was
witnessed by the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Curtz, her
brothers, Harry and Will Cuitz and
other relatives.
The bride was handsomely at
tired in dress of white embroider-
ed voile, trimmed in pale blue and
she carried a boquet of orchids.
The groom is millwright and it
was while thus employed in Alpine
county that he met and wooed his
bride,
The couple left for the coast Sum-
day afternoon and expect to make
their home at Haywards, Cal.
Congratulations are extenened.

& T. railroad, for little assistance
in repairing the wagon road into
the Red Canyon district. He agreed
to lend a helping hand. With the
support of the V. & 7. and a little
aid from the Douglas County Com
missioners the Red Canyon road can
be repaired without much expense
falling on either. There are several
mines being worked to more or less
extent in that section and the road
work would be a benefit to all.
There is a movement on foot to
build road to Red Canyon from
the Smith Valley side and about all
that is asked of Mr.. Carman and
others is the assurance that they
will change their base of supplies
and freight to Smith Valley. Mr..
Carman writes that he much /, pre-
fers the present route but unless
accorded little assistance in re-
pairing the road he will be obliged
to accept. the offer of the other
route. In this event the merchants
and local railroad will suffer quite a
loss of business.
1t is believed that the commission
ers can well afford to investigate the
repairing this road and give the ap-
peal more than passing notice.
A little aid to encourage mining
will not come amiss at this time and
may result in assisting the develop
ment of great mining district.
And then too, business is not SO
brisk that it can be allowed to slip
away for the want of a little CO.
operation.

To Improve
Mono Road

In order to give the people of
Mono county every inducement to
continue to make Minden and Gard
nerville their base for supplies and
freight, many improvements are to
be made to the road leading to the
southeren territory. The Commits
sioners of this county, acting in CO.
operation with the Virginia &
Truckee railroad have decided TO
make these road improvements and
the first work to be undertaken will
be to reduce the pitch of the grade
above Rodenbah's s ranch. 1t is now
necessary for heavy freight teams
to drop one wagon in pulling over
the grade but when the new road
is completed, these teams will be
able to haul their full load. elnaai-
ing the necessity dropping one
wagon and doubling this stretch of
road. An easy grade has been
surveyed which will be little long
er than the present route.
The Dangberg teams have been
engaged to do the grading and
work will be started as soon as the
weather permits.
The business that finds its way to
this community each year from
Mono county. Smith Valley and the
Sweetwater country amounts to IA
great deal and is worthy of the
earnest consideration in the way of
good roads. The commissioners are
to be commended for recognizing
this fact. likewise the Virginia &
Truckee railroad for its hearty CO.
operation and financial support.

DEATH OF
PERCY ARNOT

That death loves a shining mark
was never more plainly illustrated,
than in the passing away of Edwin
Percy Arnot, eldest son of Judge
and Mrs. N. d. Arnot, of Placer
vile, who succumbd to typhoid fever
in far away South Africa, on Mon
day, March 3rd. Not yet 81 years
of age, he had, in the few years
allotted to him, won an enviable
position in the great world of busi-
ness. by combining an inherent
ability with steadfast and determ-
ined purpose. In him were all the
charac oeristics of sturdy, substantial
manhood, and his death, occurring
as he had just reached the thresh-
hold of useful and splendid life, is
a crushing blow to his parents,
brothers, sisters and friends. Percy
Arnot was born in Markleeville,
Alpine county, July 22nd 1882,
where his childhood was spent. He
entered the Nevada State University
graduating from the College Of
Mining in May, 1902. He was en-
ployed in the U. S. Reclamation
Service at Fallon, Nevada, and Sut-
ter Creek, CAL. by Senator Voor-
hees, before entering the employ of
the Consolidated Goldfield company
at their great mine-Simer and
Jack, Germiston, near Johannes
burg, South Africa, where at the
time of his death, he held the posi-
ton of chief surveyor. Seven years
ago he came home for visit of a
few months and then returned to
his post on the dark CONT ent.
He never shirked drty and it is
probable that in fae responsible
position he held .te over-estimated
his strength ara so became easy
prey for the dread fever. B. C..
Leadbette1, mining engineer and
and eiass-rnate Of Percy's cabled to
Jnuse Arnes on Monday that he was
very low with typhoid and a later
message confirmed their worst fears.
The Judge Immediately cabled to
have the body cremated and the
ashes sent home.
Besides his parents he leaves five
brothers and two sisters and a half
brother, Raymond, who is married
and lives in the East. The brothers
are Stanley, Nate and Phillip, who
are students at the Berkeley Uni
versity, Paul who is on the staff of
the San Francisco Chronicle, and
Ralph the youngest son of the
family who is a student at the
Placerville High School. The sisters
are Mrs. A. l., Rice of Reno, and
Laura Arnot who is teaching at
Sparks.
To all of them their elder brother
per" was the embodiment of all
that was worry of emulation; with
their sorrowing parents they are
now counting the weary days until
from far across the seas, will come
to them the sacred ashes-all that
now remains of honest, unselfish,
noble-hearted Percy. = Placerville

CLEE CLUB
MAKES GOOD


sity Glee Club at Minden last Satur-
day was attended by large crowd.
The entertainment was of the high
est order and was greatly appre-
ciated by the audience. 1t would
be unfair to praise one number
more than the other since they all
merited the greatest applause. The
singing of the glee club was the
best ever heard here and should the
boys ever decide to come again,
they are assured of being greeted
by crowded house. After the
entertainment dance was held.
The following taken from the
Sabebrush, the university paper,
shows what the boys think of the
treatment accorded them while
here.
1t was pretty sad crowd of Uni
versity people that bade goodby to
Minden last Sunday afternoon. A
sad crowd and a glad crowd, too.
Sad because they had to leave the
scene of the most pleasant two days
in years-ano glad with the sense of
having made new friend.
"Minden, Gardnerville and the L.
of n. Glee Club are fast friends,
and here's hoping that I'VE three"
shall meet soon again.
THE concert Saturday night was
an unqualified success, thanks TO
the efficiency of Carson Valley.
People were urged to come ten and
twelve miles to enjoy the entertain
ment and dance. We who have
heard the concert know that they
are not sorry, and the few of US
who know the Minden floor, feel
doubly enyious. That the glee club
made good is an established fact.
More courteous treatment was
never afforded group of university
people. The citizens threw their
houses open to the men. and all
were dined in the style that we in
Reno only read about. Through
the efforts of the Settelmeyer boys,
Fred Dangberg and c. Nielsen,
everyone had a chance to enjoy an
auto ride on some of the best roads
in the state. When there was no
motoring, there was the swell club
house thrown open, All in all the
trip was genuine vacation.
For the success of the trip no
little credit is due Lisle McGinnis,
wh) acted as agent and booster, and
to the Reeord-Courier for its effici-
ent advertising, Mathilda Jepsen of
the class of II also rendered a great
service by acting as accompanist in
the absence of Mr.. Corris. With
very little preparation Miss Jepsen
was able to fill the difficult place in
a very efficient manner. F."

STOREY OBJECTS
TO THIS BILL

The bill introduced in the Legis-
lature to redistrict the judicial dis
tricts of Nevada does not meet with
favor in Storey county. At present
Douglas, Ormsby, Storey and Lyon
counties constitute. the First Judi
cial district. Should this bill pass
Lyon will be taken away and placed
in district with Churchill county.
In commenting on this the Virginia
says:
THE salary of the Judge is to be
paid in each county proportionate to
the assessment roll, and on this
basis will increase the assessment of
Storey county on this account be-
tween $500 and 5000, or to over
$1,000. Storey's roll is larger than
either that of Ormsby or Douglas,
by the figures submitted last year
year by the assessors, and this coun-
ty will therefore probably be oblig-
ed to'levy an extra tax on this ac-
count.
fhe same holds true in the other
two counties, although the state
ment has been published that the
cost to the three counties will re-
main the same as now. This is
absolutely erroneous and the other
counties should look into the matter
before getting behind the bill. On
the present arrangement, Lyon pays
over half the salary of the Judge,
the remaining $500 being divided
between the three counties named.
, Even at $4,000, three counties will
have to make up at least $1,000, of
which Storey county stands to pay
considerable over one-third. Per-
haps it is not to be wondered at that
Ormsby' and Douglas are for the
bill, with Storey paying the freight.
