nounced factor in the agricultural
prosperity of Europe. At the Gov
ernors' conference held at Richmond.
this wal the most important matter
up for discussion. Ambassador
Herrick, who has brought to the at
tention of our agriculturalists the
system by which German, French
and other European farmers, by
such associations, are able to obtain
capital for land development at low
rates of interest and on longtime
loans, payable in annuities, gave a
complete analysis of the plan, which
appealed to the conference as of the
greatest moment. A committee was
appointed to draft a law for uniform
adoption by states, which | hope may
be completed in time for submission
to the consideration of your honor
able bodies before the close of the
session.
Conclusion.
In the foregoing l have not dis
cussed any elective departments of
the state government, but commend
to your consideration the reports of
such officials and such recommended
tions as are contained therein.
At different times during the
session | hope to communicate with
the senate and assembly by message
and if, during your deliberations in
committee or as individual members,
l can be of any assistance, l beg you
t. believe that l shall be only too
pleased to meet and consult with
you. / conceive that we all of us,
s%everally and collectively, owe
first duty to this state, the people of
which have honored us with their
tust to act disinterestedly, wisely
and conscientiously for its welfare.
Wishing for the highest harmony
and success in your %endavors. l sub
NIT this message accompanied with
my sincere goodwill.

State Engineers OHICt.
Attention is called to the advance
made by the state in adjudicating
vested water rights in the streams,
and appropriations should be contin-
ed for continuing the work. The last
legislature appropriated $4,000 to
meet a similar appropriation by the
Federal government.

lie service commission, making the

of special Importance. A model fish
hatchery has been established at
Verdi, with a capacity of 1000, 600
trout fry to supply the treams of
the state. The members of the fish
commission give their services with

public credit for the deep interest
they have taken in this important
work and the results achieved.
State University.
The University of Nevada, under
the generous support of the state,
the federal government and the do
nations of the Mackays. has become
an institution that is serving the
people in many ways. Its ardent
friends are all who are familiar with
its development and what it is aetu-
ally accomplishing, not only in the
education of our youths of both SEX
es, but in practical state improve
ment and upbuilding. The compile
ton af the Electrical building, pro-
vided for by the last legislature,
adds to its mechanical curriculum a
complete course in electrical engi-
neering. The department which now
seems most deserving of upbuilding
is the Agricultural college. 1t is a
hopeful and significant fact that the
course in agriculture is drawing an
unprecedented number of students.
The university conducts the opera
lions of the pure-food law and the
weights and measures law in Ne
vada. The meteorological laboratory,
by blood and tissue testing, is one of
the chief factors in the diagnosis and
control of diseases of man and ami
mails in Nevada. The work of the
Experiment Station in relation to
soil tests, cultural experiments and
animal h%usbandry is one of the
highest importance to the present
and future development of the state.

CORNER BALL
IS OUT OF DATE
Old Time Game Of the Country
Sale is Played No
More

Corner ball, once the leading past
time of the country districts, is
thing Of the past and there does not
promise to be revival If an attempt
were made to again get the game back
back on the old-time basis there are
probably few Of the old players who
are able to take an active part and
IN this day the young men do not seem
TO care for sport OF such a character,
involving some pain on frequent oc-
casions.
Not so many years ago the game
was feature Of every sale at a farm
house and there was just as much
interest in &C., II not more. than there
Is I'm base ball at the present time.
The men who played the game were
always early on the ground. No games
were prearranged but the players of
each locality knew their rivals would
be present so they were on hand pre-
pared for the fray and there would be
some lively doings. AS soon as the
time came for the game the preimin-
aries were soon arranged. Four fence
rails marked the corners for the
game and there were always plenty
Of balls, from which one or more
were quickly chosen, usually the
hardest and the one which would do
the most damage.
There have been times when a solid
rubber ball was used in a contest
where there was blood on both sides
and in these games a few players did
not walk home after the contest al
though their wounds we're seldom
serious. A blow from the ball upon
the calf OF a leg or about the lower
ribs generally meant one man less in
the game, even If a so called soft ball
were used.
The balls were homemade and the
best were made by wrapping a heavy
bullet in paper and then covering II
with several wrappings of yarn,
hard one on the interior and softer as
the cover was approached A stout
leather cover was used and the ball
was then soaked over night in water,
after which II was tossed vigorously
against the side of a barn or other
building. This reduced the paper to
powder and left the bullet loose in
cavity To all appearance this ball,
with oil, was rather light and appar-
emily harmless but it carried a kick
like a mule in the interior, as can be
testified to by any OF the old players
who have stopped one with their
anatomy particularly with the calf of
leg When this ball landed it stuck
like a leech, the bullet in the interior
being driven forward with a terrific
force. rebounding and giving a second
blow before the ball fell TO the
ground. II was similar to a double
kick from a mule and the man struck
was certain of that fact. Bruises were
usually to be found all about the
bodies Of the players as trophies Of
the battles and some suffered pain for
days from blows in tender spots.
The players called this sport but il
would be difficult to find eight young
men at the present time who would
be willing to get into a ring before
men who threw with the speed Of
cannon shots and we're almost certain
to make a hit with nearly every en-
deavor.
Those days are over and the game
has gone the way OF the sports Of the
ancients.
