Embroglio.

1t is stated in Carson City that At
torney General Geo. B. Thatcher is
displeased with the attitude taken
by Governor Tasker l.. Oddie in re-
gard to his request for a special ses-
sion of the legislature to investigate
the charges he has made against
Judge Langan in the State Bank &
Trust company acair and that the at
torney-general is planning to take
steps to force the governor to call
the session.
II is also stated that the attorney

lated among the legislators, in which
they will demand that the governor
call the extra session
According to the political gossip,
the attorney-general believes that the
governor has exceeded his authority
in asking the accused Judge for his
report and in stating that If it is
satisfactory he will not call for an
investigation of the accusations.

The Reno Gazette in its issue of
last Saturday had the following To
say about the road between Fallon

fhat the road between Hazen
and Fallon in Churchill county is in
a bad condition and practically i'm
pasable in places is the assertion
made by local autoists who have been
over the road in the last few days
IL is claimed that the long mudhole
near Hazen, In which several auto
mobiles were stuck last year Is in
worse shape than ever Il also is said
that in many places an automobile IS
forced TO take to the sagebrush and
railroad track in order to make pro-
gress. This road is the thoroughfare
over which the transeontinental auto
mobile party from Indiana must pass

Local business interests are not
only ineensed over the publication of
such a palpable Misrepresentation,
but they are determined to demand
a correction from the paper giving 1t
foice. Just now, when the relative
merits of auto routes are causing
neighbors to quarrel and rival COM
nunities to hurl invectiyes, the Ca
1ette should be very careful OF its

row will be Splendid Attraction.

Pleasant diversion will be afforded
several hours tomorrow Thursday
evening, at the Temple theatre, when
cast of about so of the histrionical-
ly inclined young folks of Fallon will
portray in excellent settings "The
Reveries of Bachelor" In addition
to graphically depicting the unhappy
single state of men of mature years,
there will be many funny side lights
thrown upon the little situations that
go to make up life.
There will be no reserved seats but
general admission chrage of so
cents for adults and 25 cents for
children.
SYNOPSIS.
The bachelor sitting in his den the
evening before his marriage, falls
asleep in his chair. He dreams of his
boyhood days and his first six sweet
hearts. He wakens and because of
the dream his thoughts turn to his
past life and his numerous sweet
hearts. Then he sets himself the task
of destroying the momentoes of these
old loves.
One photo reminds him of the fan
cy dress ball where "his girl' went
as the Girl of 1776.
He remembered the time while he
was in Tarrytown that his sweetheart
was voted the most popular girl at
the Fourth of July celebration and
was made the Goddess of Liberty"
He picks up the photo of the flow
ei girl who was TO have been his
bride, and his memories here are
very sad, for death claimed her be-
fcre the bridal day.
Finally he comes to the sweetheart
of the present who is to be his bride
tomorrow. AS he, in fancy, takes
her hand at the altar, he seems to
see all the former sweethearts point
ing the finger of scorn at their old
beau.

A telegram was received by Pro-
ect Engineer d. ". Cole yesterday
rom Reno stating that a netting of
he Truckee farmers had been called
'or tomorrow afternoon, at which
ime a full representation of Truekee
armers will be present. A commit
ee of local farmers headed by Mr..
Cole will be pesent at the Reno meet

II the farmers OF this project.
fhe following from the Reno Jour-
.al th.ows additional light upon the
.dbiect:
With water conditions more criti-
al than ever before for the Truckee-
arson Irrigation pjroeet, d. w. Cole
le project engineer has addressed an
.1peal TO the ranchers of the True
.ee meadows that by cooperation
.nd generosity the project may come
nlough the season without loss.
This is the last year when such
n appeal Will be necessary, MIR. Cole
Ays but 1t is also the most critical
ii all years OF shortage. There have
spon two dry" years and the water
Iupply this year is smaller than ever
Jefore since the reclamation project
jegan.
Explains Plan.
The proposal MIR. Cole makes is, in
a few words. that the government mas
lrranled with the power companies
o get 100 second feet extra flow IN
he dry months. The flow is for the
exclamation project. II the extra
low can get by Reno without being
appropriated in this vicinity, 1t viii
lot only help the project but it will
continue to permit the local ranch
.rg to take all of their quota most OF
he time. If the trust be misplaced
md the opportunity abused, the 100
feet extra will be discontinued the
project will suffer aud the local
ranchers will gain no advantage.
If the local ranchers Will be con-
tent TO keep within their own share
even though they have the opportun-
ity to take more. the plan Will sue
ceed. Perhaps the time will come
when the ranchers will be asked 10
rotate the closing of bitches ana
give even more of the little they nave
but this will be only at the time OF
greatest need on the reclamation pro-
ject.

elephant IS PARIS DISH
Comes From Bright Idea OF Money
Making Animal Owner In
Paris.

Paris.-Elephant pate will figure on
a menu for a dinner at all the princi-
pal restaurants this year and Is being
looked forward to with rather mixed
feelings by Paris gourmets. The ap-
pearance of the new dish is the result
of chance supply rather than popu-
lar demand, being due to the death,
a week or two ago, Of Agra, a large
elephant, which for some days terror
lied Paris. Agra was the property Of
a travelling Snowman and developed
a habit of getting out Of his cage,
walking around town. wrecking num-
erous wine shops. uprooting trees, and
causing panic in the streets where
she appeared. When the authorities
suggested that Agra would be better
out of Paris his master took him to a
provincial town, but as 1t was still
found impossible to keep him from
escaping and walking through shop
windows he had to be killed. The
owner determined to lose as little as
possible by his death, so he engaged
several butchers to cut him up and
mince him into pate, which sold here
for nearly the price he paid for the
animal when alive.
The pate is said to have delicious
flavor, but its digestive qualities are
not insisted on, and this suggested
that Agra's devastating influence may
not have ceased with death.

TOLD HER lIFE'S AMBI fl0N
Small Girl Somewhat Crudely Ex-
pressed Her Desire to Be
Teacher When She Grew Up.

At one time or another during the
ward school life of little girl there
prevails the ambition to become a
teacher. Perhaps 1t is the indisputable
authority possessed by the hand that
yields the rules or the nonchallant dis
play of wisdom on topics surrounded
by the most inaccessible difficulties
to the small boy and girl. They will
nearly always tell their ambitions to
a we'll liked teacher, and one rather
surprising declaration was given by a
little maid in one of Miss Clara Town
sends room before she became princi-
pal of the James school.
Among the special favors coveted
by the youngsters is the permission
to stay behind after school and clean
the blackboards. One evening little
girl was given the desired privilege,
and while engaged in the task she
struck up a shy sort of conversation
with Miss Townsend Finally the
usual confession was made.
when grow up, am going to be
a teacher" she announced.
THAT so?" pleasantly asked Miss
Townsend. "And why do you want
to be a teacher?"
WELL" was the rather surprising
answer, "I'll have to be either a
teacher or a lady, and would rather
be a teacher."-Indianapo News.

Only the Sultan Adheres to the OLD

The domestic arrangements or the
sultan are entirely different from
those of his subjects. Most Turks
have one wife; the sultan has no
recognized sultana. Turks OF high
rank marry into their own class: the
sultan forms unions with women OF
slave origin. The ordinary man may
not look upon an unveiled woman ex-
cept she be his relation or servant;
the sultan has the right to talk with
any woman in the land face to face.
