HONEY CROP GOOD
FOR PAST THIRTY
DAYS IN VALLEY

Prof Swyce, of the entomology de
partment of the State University at
Reno, spent several days in the val
ley recently investigating the cahse
of the death of so many bees early
in the season. He was sent by the
government and has made very thor
ough investigation, but is not yet able
to say just what the trouble was.
The honey flow has been larger and
lasted longer this season than was
ever known before. The flow started
about the 18th of May, and is still
good The bees that died in the early
part of the season came in from the
fields with their honey sacks loaded,
and it is believed that the sudden
changes in the atmosphere caused the
material to sour and cause the death
of the bees. Harry Warren, who is
probably the largest honey producer
in the valley lost two-thirds of his
bees, yet he has secured over thirty
tons of fine honey from the remain
ing third in the past thirty days. The
flow is still good and there will be
quite a honey crop in this valley after
all Other apiarists in the valley have
had the same experience as befell
Mr.. Warren. but are getting quite
crop of honey now, and it is of SUI
perior quality The government is
still at work investigating the death
of the bees to make sure what the
cause was. No such trouble has been
known before this year in any sec
ton of the United States where honey
is produced in any quantity, nor did
it occur anywhere else in the United
States outside of Nevada

TALENTED MUSIC TEACHER
AMONG US.

Yerington is to be congratulated in
Helene J. Sloan, of San Francisco.
Miss Sloane is a music teacher who
has had unusual advantages, having
been trained under the best masters
both in this county and Europe. At
the age of seven she was considered
child PRODIGY on the piano and play
ed in concert for such critics as B.
J. Lang, DIR. Louis Mas and VIM.
Sherwood, of Boston, Mass From
both her father and mother she in
herited voice worthy of recognition
and was constantly before the public,
and when merely a school girl had
memorized several operas and took
part in such light operas as Mikado,
Pinafore, 1892, etc Since her return
fl ON Italy, where she spent some time
studying Italian methods of voice cul-
ture Miss Sloane has toured in con-
cert circuit Alaska, Canada, Hawaiian
Islands, United States and Great Brit
ain, and has met with marked success.
The Juneau Daily Alaskan says of
her: ITO Miss Helen Sloane, of San
Francisco, must undoubtedly be given
the honor of being the most accom-
plished singer that ever appeared in
this section of the country In her Sc
lections from grand opera Miss Sloane
shows perfect technique and control
of her voice, but in her character
work and especially the Scotch ballads
the sweet quality of tone is shown
to the best advantage"
Miss Sloane is also teacher of ex-
perience, having supervised music in
public and high schools of Pomona
and San Bernardino, Cal, and in the
California Conservatory of Music in
San Francisco. Miss Sloane will or
ganize classes for beginners and adj
vance pupils both in piano and voice
culture and hopes to find local talent
with which she may produce Pinafore
or some light opera, during the season.

HIGH SCHOOL OPENS
WITH LARGE NUMBER
OF HOME PUPILS

The High School in Yerington open
ed last Monday, August 81, with every
seat but one occupied Since then
others have come in and some are
seated in the recitation rooms.
1t is expected that the Normal will
begin a week from next Monday and
that will add to the general enthu
sasm. The Normal teacher is paid
by the State and is sent where there
are FIVE graduates of High School
who request that Normal School
be established.
The assignment of the teachers for
this year is as follows: English and
History, Miss Howe; Science and Ger
man, Mr.. Ricksecker; Mathematics
and Latin, Mr.. Kline; Commercial,
Mr.. Waggoner.
There are one or two noticeable
features about the High School this
wear that we hope will continue. One
is the size of the incoming class. 1t
contains those who took work or
other High School work in Goldheld,
Tonopah. Blair and Reno, besides
those who come from county schools
near by. Another is the size of the
classes. This enables the teachers to
handle all the courses to good advan-
tage. The classes in first English,
Second History, First Latin, CONNER
cial Arithmetic, Physics, Biology and
Physical Geography are by far the
largest in the history of our school
Another thing to be noticed is the
increased interest in Science. This is
as it should be for Science and the
study of it never fails to be OF value
to the student in after life and in many
ways.
1t is hoped that parents and others
become familiar with what is done
and how the work is conducted. We
want everybody to see that we'are try
ing to secure for each student that
$40 per day which is said to be the
wages of going to High School

COMMITTED SUICIDE.

O. T.. Summers, of Yeringon, re
ceived word last Saturday morning
that his father, J. H. Summers, had
committed suicide at his home in
Standish, Cal Mr. Summers left for
Standish as soon as he received the
news He returned Wednesday and
left again yesterday for Standish, tax
ing his wife and little son with him.
1t appears that Mr.. Summers, Sr.,
had gone into barn on the premises
at Standish and used a shotgun to end
his life, tieing a string to the trigger
of the gun and then pulling it off with
his foot after putting the muzzle of
the gun in his mouth, and literally
blowing his head off.
J. H. Summers was a California pio
neer, having crossed he plains from
Missouri in 1861. For time he locat-
ed at Sacramento and thrived in the
cattle business, and later moved to the
northern portion of the State and re
sided with his sons-in-law at Stand
ish, which is near Susanville. He
leaves six grown children. Mrs. G. E.

EDDIE A. BROOKS
COMMITS SUICIDE
IN SMITH VALLEY.

Word reached here Wednesday
morning that Ed. Brooks, of Smith
Valley, had committed suicide the
night before at about 9:30 o'clock.
The body of deceased was brought
here to the home of his parents on
Wednesday morning by c. c. Tidd, of
Smith. From what can be learned of
the affair it appears that young
Brooks, who was living on the ranch
owned by Jay Mann and his sister,
the latter being Brooks wife, had
some alteration with a party in the
house early in the morning. He then
proceeded to move his trunk and other
belongings out to the road and taking
a Smith & Wesson SO revolver from
his trunk went back to the house and
remarked to his wife, well, I'm off"
walked from the bedroom to the
kitchen, placed the gun against his
right ear and blew his brains out.
Two shots were fired from the revol-
yer, the second one probably involun
tarily as Brooks fell to the floor. The
second bullet passed through his hat
and into the ceiling of the room.
Eddie Brooks was the son of Mr..
and Mrs R. s. Brooks, of Yerington,
and was born in Mason Valley No
vember 8, 1885, and made his home
here up to 1901, when he married Miss
May Mann and went to Smith Val
ley to reside. He leaves sorrowing
father and mother, two sisters, Mrs.
Mae McCulla, of Nevada City, Cal,
and Mrs Electa Gallagher, Frank
Brooks, of Yerington, and Fred ].
Brooks, of Lovelock, besides many
friends in this neighborhood.
The funeral took place from the
Brooks Home Cottage yesterday
morning and was largely attended,
Prof Waggoner conducting the ser
vices in the absence of Rev. Frank
Summers.
The bereaved parents, wife and rel
atives have the sympathy of many
friends in this community on account
of this unfortunate occurrence.

ing bell at 8:ss, when pupils are ex-
