What Is the New Blrth7

lt is the impartlng or new naGure
which is Jesus Christ. "a new Heart
win give you, a new spirit VIII 1
put within you"
I have n friend who has six acres
OF greenhouses. A large part of his
business is the culture Of roses. He
imports the wild stock from Ireland
because Il Is peculiarly hardy. He
does not put the wild rose-bushes into
the greenhouse Just as they are. and
cultivate them. If he did. he would
obtain only wild Irish roses which are
not worth ten cents a thousand. The
first thing he does with the wild stock
Is to graft it with buds from the
choice roses which he wishes TO pro-
duce. Then he places il in the green
house. and uses all the appliances
known 10 modern flower culture, and
the result is-those elegant General
Jacdue and American Beauty roses
which sell for several dollars a hum
dred.
Man is like the wild rose. He can
not produce the fruit OF the spirit be.
cause there is no holy spirit in him,
until Christ has been accepted. Meth
er can he forgive his sin, nor resist
it's power. Gods way is TO impart
unto him a new divine nature which
is able to overcome sin, and produce
the fruit OF Righteousness.
BY believing Gods word Man was
lost by doubling Gods word. he is
saved by believing IL. Being born

OF the white fluid floats a little germ
OF life. which though invisible. yet
contains the chick which is TO be. Day
by day during the process OF incuba-

est has been awakened by the influx
Of Elks' wives from all parts of tn state

BIRTHS, DEATHS. MARRIAGES
AND DIVORCES N 1912.

There was but one month IN the
year 1912 when no deaths occurred
in Churchill county. namely, Deeem-
Der. The greatest number was 4,
reached during both the months of
April and September. The greatest
number OF births during single
month was .. reached during March
and November. The total number
of deaths during the year was "a
and the births for the same period
totaled 6s, a very healthy compari-
son.
During the same period the eoun-
ty clerk issued 95 licenses to we'd
the district court the meanwhile un-
tying 19 nupital knots, some dozen
cases being fled for divorce during
the year that for various reasons
still remain unsettled. A large unm-
Der OF these deerees Of separation
involve parties who are now nom
residents, leading to the conclusion
that a small sized divorce colony
was maintained in this community.

COURT DUETS TITLET CLAIM
District Judge L. N. French De-
cides That Geo. Flesaa Has
Right to Mining Claim.

District Judge l.. N. French rem
dered decision Saturday defining
the rights to the Bonanza and Buff
falo claims in the Terrill mining dis
trict over which Louis Carara was
killed on the 18th of last May and
George Flessa, his companion, seri-
ously wounded, at the hands of Jud
Terrell, who claimed that the men
were claim Jumpers and was later
exonorated by both a coroner's
jury and the grand jury. Judge
French's decision must certainly
nullify the contention of the faction
opposing Flessa and Carara for with
out proprietory right to the mining
ground in question the shooting af-
fair in which Terrell emerged as
victor, must assume anything but a
legal aspect.
Judge Frenohs decision was in re-
sponse to a suit instituted by Flessa,
the survivor of q horrible shotgun
wound received at the time his
working partner, Carara was killed,
for definition Of the rights to the
ground-an action to quiet title.
Terrell introduced in evidence the
record OF an instrument, which was
intended for q certificate Of loca-
ton, but which did not comply with
the law in many respects. Neither
did the testimony introduced By Ter
rel and his witnesses tend to prove
that he performed the necessary de-
Yelopment work required By law.
The following is a part OF Judge
French's decision:
by preponderence OF evidence
tho court must find that the ground
included in the Bonanza lode claim
was open for location at the time
the plaintiff, Fessa, made the Bo-
nanza location and that Flessa is the
owner of and entitled 70 the posses
sion of the Bonanza lode. The plain
tiff Is entitled TO reeoVer his costs"
Comment upon this part of the
aftermath Of a highly deplorable
shooting affray must include the
statement that had the courts been
sought out in the first place for an
adjudication of the respective rights
of the contending parties, life need
not have been sacrificed and local
annals would not have included the
record OF an affair that to say the
least, was needless.

PLENTY OF WATER ASSURED
The Storm of Last Week Is
Cuarantor of Water In
Plenty.

The grandest storm for two years
broke over the Sierras last Wednes-
day and within the next three days
had left its philanthropic influences
over the great area of the Truckee
and Carson watersheds, as well as
to the north and south, in the form
of a great fall of snow that assures
the farmers of this valley an ample
supply of water for irrigation
throughout the approaching growing
season. In Reno, something like
two feet of snow fell while the depth
increased on the nearby mountains
as the altitude increased, the maxi
mum being attained at the summit
where something like $50 inches OF
snow now awaits the moderate tenn
pered weather OF the growing
months for its release for utilization
in this and other agricultural val
leys of the western part of Nevada.
The storm ragged In the Sierras
day after day, creating havoc with
railroad time tables, the storm king
duplicating his performances OF
few days earlier occurring in the Cas-
cade mountains to the north. Trains
were stalled on the Central Pacihc
railroad and then finally held up
Saturday and Sunday through the
collapsing of more than 700 feet OF
snow sheds between Blue Canyon
and the summit. due to the tremen-
dous weight imposed by the snow.
When the storm finally abated
Monday there remained upon the
ground at the summit of the Sierras,
the unprecedented depth of 100 in
ches of snow, which though not
equalling the maximum depth of the
season of 1910-1911, Is much great
or than was present on the ground at
q corresponding period of the year.
The project officials and the far
mers of the valley are elated at the
turn the weather has taken, mas
much as il is ample assurance Of an
abundance of water throughout the
approaching irrigation season. Good
luck followed good luck, for the
temperatures dropped following an
abatement of the storm, freezing the
settling snow and making 1t hard
and firm to render a maximum OF
resistance to the warm rays of the
sun with the advent of spring. which
In turn means a slow run-off and the
longest possible irrigating season.
In connection with the past heavy
seasonal falls of snow, the maxi
mum was reached ON March 18th,
1911, at which time 907 inches of
snow lay on the ground at the sum-
nit on March 31st, 1907, just pre-
cedng one of the greatest floods
known in this valley, the seasonal
maximum was reached when 255
inches lay on the summit. the food
being due to sudden change in
temperature, accompanied by Chi
nook winds.

ARTESIAN POSSIBILITIES
J. F. Byars Develops Big Flows
In Eastern Part of This
County.

Something of the possibilities for
agricultural development in the
eastern part of Churchill county has
been made manifest by J. F. Byars,
of Alpine, who has two gushing ar
tesian wells on his New Pass ranch
lying over the line in Lander eoun-
ty, according to the Austin Reveille.
The flow of the two wells is estimat-
ed at 10000 gallons hourly, and
when struck the water rose ten feet
above the wells bringing up rocks
and gravel as large as a mans fist.
BY developing this wonderful water
supply Mr.. Byars has added a good
round sum to his worldly possess
sions.
And he has bored two other wells
on the home ranch in the eastern
part OF this county, which though
net quite as strong as the wells de-
veloped on his New Pass ranch are
highly satisfactory and give ample
proof of the existence of an artesian
belt in the eastern part of this eoun-
iy
Mr.. Byars is an old settler in cas-
tern Churchill county, having rails
ed cattle in that section for long
time. If his demonstrations prove
permanent in character 1t is quite
likely that his isolated home will
soon be surrounded by a great num-
Der OF people who following his ex-
ample successfully will be enabled
to farm the virgin soils of the val
leys in eastern Churchill county.
