SAYS MOHAMMED
Arab Shiek With Four Wives
and Seeking a Fifth is One of
Features of Garden of Allah
Company.

The circus did not come TO town
today, but the Garden of Allah COM
pany, which, when passing down the
main highway bears all the earmarks
Of a three-ring circus, has arrived in
our holiday midst With them are
five camels, six Arabian horses, eight
donkeys, 10 colts, a wicker cage full
of doves and Mohammed Ell Horye.
To be sure, there are a score or
more of Mohammeds tribesmen, but
Mohammed himself stands out among
them. like a rainbow in a drab sky.
for Mohammed Is dressed-or better
-swathed in nineteen distinct colors
and as many blends, and besides, Mo-
manned has four wives.
Most Of the other Swarthy sons of
the desert can boast OF one or two
wives, but Mohammed puts them in
the shade with his four. And more
yet, he wants to marry another. This
time he thinks he would like an
American girl-one with red hair.
Il should worry" he grinned.
He has been in this country only
II weeks and consequently his con-
versation is limited to a few such
necessary American phrases. CONVEX
sation is conducted through his inter
prefer Saleem Abbott.
The entire Arabian company is
quartered in the Dominion hotel on
Jefferson blvd, and its members do
all their cooking and supply their own
food which their religion demands.
The menu consists Largely Of vege-
table foods, such as rice, meal. etc.
and all chickens they use are killed by
one of their own men. Thick, sweet
coffee is an important part of their
bill Of fare.

MURDER
OF THE PRESIDENT

here are very few Americans who can find it in
their hearts to admire Hucrta, the new provisional presi-
dent OF Mexico. That is why the popular American yer
dict as to the death of Madero and Suarcz the other day
was that 1t was cold-blOodcd murder.
Much OF suspicion was attributable to the well
known Mexican system of shooting down ptblic men
upon the pretcnsc that they were killed while irving TO
escape, 1t seems that the dcposcd president and all of
the members of his personal and official family fully
understood that they would be made victims of the pro-
cess known as "ley de fuga,' which meant that they
would be killed as fugitives.
But to the recent acts of Hucrta, more than anv
other thing, did the American public look in determining
whether or not these depos d officials and their followers
were inhumanly murdered by the government,
Huerta docs not stand in the light of an ideal hero
before the American people. He was commander of NJ,
dero's armies, the trusted military head of t1c 1,tc 60,

ness that Ill finally bringing about the arrest Of Modero
without previous warning of his d~isloyalty, he PLAYED the

"To a large extent civil service rules should be desir-

"Conditions in management of state university great

THE POWER OF THE PRESS
AS AN EDUCATOR

A great man declared that no hours OF
the day were better employed than those
which brought him in close touch with
people in all walks of life.
He referred to the hours spent in reading
the daily newspapers and especially the
local paper. The newspapers bring you in
touch with people the world over and
with the affairs of every country.
Read your newspaper carefully tonight
and every night. Discuss its various sub
jectS at the table, in the evening, or when
ever the occasion presents itself. The
daily newspaper, with its many excellent
features, affords a splendid postgraduate
course for ~grown-upS and gives the chill
dren more general information than they
are apt to learn at school in many days.
1t will also pay you to read the adyer-
tisements closely and constantly every day,
for they contain valuable information.

such men in each county in Nevada would

This is what the Boise Statesman has to
say OF Col. Places efforts in Idaho.
plans for 4 local road between Boise
and Winnemucca were discussed yesterday
at a luncheon at the Commercial club, ar
ranged by Secretary Childs in honor of
Col. {. r. Place OF Winnemucca, which
was attended by a number OF the promi-
nent business men OF the city.
During the luncheon Colonel Place told
OF the success OF his recent trip to San
Francisco, where he found the Commercial
club and the local officers of a tr~anSconti-
mental line highly in favor of the proposed
road and willing to cooperate.
Max Mayfeld, who has also recently
from San Francisco, stated that
he had found that sentiment existing among
the San Francisco business men.
Col. Place has made the preliminary
surveys between Caldwell and Winnie
mucca so that, should the road be financed,
little preliminary work would have to be
done"

A correspondent in the Reno Gazette
tells so much truth and tells 1t so we'll that
it is produced herewith in full:
as there any real reason why residents
OF Washoe county, especially those who
get their money from here, cannot inform
themselves of the fact that an acre OF land
in this section, properly cared for, will
give as much profit, If not more. than one
in the Sacramento OF San Joaquin valleyS2
The climate here is far superior, and hun
there because of it. But as long as resi-.
dents OF Nevada, who live and are in bust
ness here, invest their money there, 1t gives
Nevada black eye. Nevada money, made
in Nevada, should be invested in Nevada.
IAN expert fruit grower, who was in
Reno this week, declared that climatic con-
ditions in Washoe county are excellent for
the raising OF fruits that are raised in and
exported from Colorado, Oregon and
Washington.
But he said, you cannot get good re-
suits without intelligent effort. | haven't
seen a single orchard in Washoe county
that was properly set out and cared for.
Hence 1t Is no wonder that hundreds OF
carloads Of apples and such fruits are
shipped in from outside when they should
have been grown here
Another source OF great profit that
could be developed IL proper advantage
were taken of il is the heat from our hot
springs. II can be used to grow early and
winter vegetables. II Is not necessary tu
send away for them and to receive them
stale and wilted when we can produce
them at home and keep the money in Ne
ysda.
Production and profits In Nevada are
known. Ask Waits Brothers what their
orchard pays them an acre and they will
tell you $500. Ask ban Wheeler how
often the frost hurts the blossoms on hi,
apple trees ti9o OF which produced j.oOt
boxes last year, and he will tell you moi
once In six years. Consult the reports or
temperatures and you will find they ar,
favorable. Let us then build up our owl
industries and help Nevada"
The article applies with equal force tc
Blko and Elko county. Because a few old
timers have failed to raise trees and fruit
they raise a howl every time new-eoms

to discourage all efforts toward arbor eul
ture or horticulture. Such people are al

Carson City, March ll.-By a
vote of % to %, the assembly
passed the Cole bill, the third
attempt to abolish the Cor. mission
of Industry. Agriculture and Irriga-
ton and legislate Commissioner
Norcross out Of Office. The Gardiner
bill reposes on the table, while the
Coryell bill is somewhere in "un-
finished business" But while the
Cole bill passed, Mcbride, of Elko
changed his vote and moved a re-
consideration so that, instead of
being disposed of, the issue is still
pending and not destitute of con-
siderable life and possibilities.
In fact, on this last battle, honors
seem to be even, rather than other
wise, and a good many lei islatOrs
last night in Carson were wonder
ing, after all, in view of the days
proceeding. where they were at"
This circumstance arises from a
resolution which Wright of Washoe
introduced while the bill was up
for consideration. The speaker
ruled the resolution out of order,
but Wright concluded that the
resolution was of sufficient i'm
portanre to merit attention and
read it himself from the floor.
The Cole bill not only aboIishes
the commission, but delegates pretty
much all the powers Of Commits
sionur Norcruss to Surveyor Cen
cral Deadly, who is made ex-oficiO
publicity commissioner, etc. Hence
the Wright resolution was particu-
larry pertinent. The opposition.
however knew they had the votes
TO pass the measure, and did not
wish to take the chances on delay.

resolution. But some of them have
been doing some thinking since.
