Adams HOtG1
Has a Close
Call

The building just to the rear of
the Adams hotel was discovered to
be on fire early Friday morning.
While the proprietor reused his
neighbors from their slumbers,
Charles Burritt, a guest at the hotel,
got in some effective work with a
bucket and extinguished the blaze
before help arrived but not before a
large hole was burned through the
roof of the building. A heavy
wind was blowing at the time and
had it not been for the prompt
action of Mr.. Burritt the building
would have probably been destroyed.

READY OR BUSINESS

The Luhrs brick kiln is being put
in shape for the seasons run. A long
drying shed has been finished and the
forms for new kiln are being laid
out. The bricks to be burned this
season are to be of the repressed va
riety, which are claimed to be the best
known to the art.
Recently a carload of bricks were
sent to Thompson and others are to
follow. 1t is figured that nearly one
million bricks will be burned during
the seasons run, while lot of tiling
is to 60 into the special furnace built
for thai purpose. Work will start as
soon as the weather man can assure
the management that things have set
tled down for the summer-Appeal.

Destroyer For
Alfalfa
WeeVil

Parasites which viii destroy the
weevill that preys on alfalfa crops
of the west have been discovered in
Italy by R. W. Thompson, repre-
sentative of the United States Bu-
reau of Entomology in that country.
He has just notified DR.. L. o. How
ard, chief of the bureau that ship
ment of these parasites are on their
way from Europe. The alfalfa
weevil has not spread to any great
extent as has the cotton boil weevil,
but as many farmers throughout the
West include alfalfa is one of their
, principal crops the timely intro
duction into their fields of an enemy
to the pest will save many agricul-
turists from loss.

OF the Kinds Hot Springs resort

al hundred dollars in money. He had

DATE is SET

Judge Langan has set the 10th OF
this month as the date for the hear
ing the application to set aside the
salary of Receiver Wildes OF the State
Bank and Trust Company. The at
torneys in the investigation have made
very plain charges and accusations
against Judge Langan and have prob
ably started something where the
outsiders" will have a look in in this
badly muddled affair. Judge Langan
has contended that everything was
all right in this matter but according
to the Investigation attorneys there
seems to be marked discrepancies in
reports and when investigated it
would appear that they do not show
on their face what they really con-
tain.
1t will take considerable explaining
to make the public see these matters
clearly.-Carson Appeal.

sence of frills and style and the

The resort is close to the best fish

MINE LOSING MONEY

In the East it is generally under
stood that the Giroux Consolidated is
earning about $4,000 a month. A
writer in the mining age estimated the
profits at 100000 monthly
Neither report is correct, according
to the affidavit of Edward J. Manley,
treasurer of the company, when re-
porting company operations to the
Assessor of White Pine County for
the first quarter of 1918.
In that period the bullion tax report
shows that the company did not make
any profits but accumulated deficit
of $36,25101. There is some discrep-
ancy in these current and official re-
ports that will be hard to reconcile

Makes d.
Prosperous
Town

In every county and in every state
can be found towns that are con-
tinually forging ahead, while others
remain practically at standstill and
accomplish nothing in the way of ad-
vancement. In every case the fault
can be found to rest, not with the
town, but with the people them
selves. An exchange has been
thinking pretty seriously along this
line and presents its conclusions this
way:
THE reason why some towns grow
is because they have men in the
town with push and energy and who
are not afraid to spend their time,
energy and money in anything that
boom and benefit the town. They
have confidence enough in their
town to erect substantial and
modern buildings and work for pub
lie improvements in the same order.
They organize companies and es-
tablish factories, induce industrial
enterprises to locate and use every
means to further the best interests
of the town. Their work is never
considered finished and the accomp-
lishment of one thing is only an in
centive to another.
'On the other hand the town that
does not get ahead will be found to
be dominated by set of men who
are perfectly satisfied with their
surroundings and who are afraid
some body else will be benefited if
something is started; consequently
no effort of any kind is made by this
class for those two reasons.
Every town. however has a GER
tain progressive element which
hopes for turn of the tide when
the town will go forward by leaps
and bounds and occupy a position of
Importance and obtain numerous
advantages which go to make good
town in every sense.
The town with these things will
continue to grow and improve, but
the town without them can be ex-
pected to remain in state of flethar-
gy indefinitely without offering its
residents anything but a mere exis-
tence."

Famous BRIDGE
To Be Taken
Out

The bridge that leads around
Cave Rock at Lake Tahoe, will soon
be in need of extensive repairs and
possibly an entirely new bridge, ac-
cording to reports. To avoid this
heavy expense and the cost of up
keep, the commissioners of Douglas
county are contemplating building a
new road in back of the cliff, thus
taking the route away from the
lakes edge.
Cave Rock is one of the pictur-
esque spots at Lake Tahoe and at
tracts thousands of tourists yearly.
The resorts have this spot on their
itinary of excursions as one of the
beauty and scenic wonders of the
lake. In the current number of
Motor, an automobile magazine of
national prominence, there appears
a half page halftone of Cave Rock
with this caption. THE road pass

HAD POCKETFULL OF CAPS

Since the accident in Tonopah,
where three boys were badly mangled
by the explosion of giant caps, it has
developed that one of the boys had
full box of caps in his pocket when
the explosion occurred. Just why
they did not go off and blow him to
atoms is a question. The wounded
lad managed to hide the caps after
the accident, as the cover was lined
with blood and the can dented from
the explosion.
