THE WONDER CLUB SUED AGAIN
Place That Once Aroused Envy
of Other Mining Camps Has
Been Attached Again

M. A. Gilkerson filed an attach
ment suit Saturday against the Won
der Club, corporation, by which
he eseks to recover the sum of
$1431, alleged to be duo. and the
further sum of $3.50 10 sought as at
tcrneys' fees.
Massey & Springnoyer, of Reno,
represent the plaintiff in the action
and this suit Is only ono of several
that has been directed against the
defendant named. The Wonder
Club was at one time one of the
states leading social organizations
and counted in it's assets a club
building that was a paragon of per-
fection. 1t was there congenial
souls were wont to congregate-
men who followed excitement--
whose very existence seemed to cor
relate around adventure and the
something doing every minute at
mosphere was nectar to their souls.
Bronzed prospectors rubbed elbows
and swapped yarns with men from
every cline over delectable concoc-
tions than which no better could be
found in the most fashionable cafes
of the effete centers. while novitiates
made big noise in the clubs free
and easy surroundings. Money was
spent there with reckless abandon
which could indicate but one OF two
things-prodigality. or belief that
the world was soon due to come to
an end.
Deals were put through at the
Wonder club over a cocktail, where
by tens of thousands of dollars were
exchanged for worthless prospects,
which hao value only by the practice
of the most pronounced form of self
hypnotism. Men counted their
fortunes there even by the hundreds
OF thousands and the money wasn't
counterfeit either. but as unenduring
as has been the club and its assets,
less 80 we're the fortunes of its found
ders. Men left there to be pursued
by evil fate. 1t is recorded that
several suicided, others met differ
ent forms of violent deaths, while
with still others Wonders halcyon
days are but memories of the past,
and a recriminative subject as the
material things of today are dealt
with.
Yes, James, the Wonder club has
been sued again. 1t has been sued
so many times In the past that 1t
has at last come to conform to the
old saw of sue beggar and catch
a louise. Like the men who con-
ceived 1t, it is down and out. It's
another exemplification of the doc
trine of cause and effect, which after
all James, is a full grown subject.

FEED BEEF CHEAPER
Sugar Beet Pulp Reduces Cost of
Fattening Stock

In support of the statement re-
Gently published in the Gazette that
beef cattle are being FED by the Me-
vada Packing Company az Fallon on
hay, grain and beef pulp for ten
cents head, while the usual cost is
about IA cents each on hay alone.
L. M. Slater, president Of the COM
pany, today referred to figures
showing that, by actual weight,
count and computation, the cost for
the largest cattle, including one lot
which is being fed very heavily, is
under IL cents each while the cost
for the ordinary rized stock is only
little over nine cents each.
The statement that cattle are be-
ing fed at ten cents each has been
copied widely in the state press, to-
gcther w'th the details of the feed
ing as given in tho Gazette. Some
Truckee Meadows raEchers recently
questioned the possibility of fatten-
ing beef animals so cheaply, but
they were convinced by reference to
the actual figures on tha books

Prices for Nevada spuds have
stiffened little during the last
week, having risen from SIT per
ton to SIS to $50 for the growers
1t is estimated by the Wood-Curtis
company that not more than 20 to
25 per cent of the years crop re-
mains in the hands of the Nevada
growers. On account Of the con-
dition of the weather thcre is no
move to market at this time. The
general condition is sAid by the Reno
Gazette to be in marked contrast to
late dispatch from Washington, D.
c., which claimed that the reason
spud prices are higher now than for
some time previously Is due to the
alleged fact that the farmers are
holding greater amount of their
seasonal production than at any
time for four years.

FAlLON SCHOOL CONDITIONS
Form Topic Discussed Pro and
Con By Local Taxpayers
Thursday Evening.

The meeting of the Fallon school
patrons with the directors of the
district at the court house last
Thursday evening WIS not as gener-
ally attended as the Importance of
the subjects discussed would seem
to justify. The rapidly growing
Fallon district faces a very serious
problem in inadequate school facil-
tiles, and the board desires the
earnest cooperation of all school
patrons and taxpayers in setting
about to fill the void. Consider
able expense must attach to the
various alternatives offered as cor
rection of the situation.
Just now one contingent of schol-
ars Is cared for in an improvised
structure in the eastern part of the
town, with an increasing school
roster making certain the crowding
out of more classes with the passing
OF this school year. The extra
fecilities are costing about $3.50 per
annum and this sum will at least
be doubled in temporarily serving
needs throughout the next school
year. This incidental expense must
come from the districts general fund
with a consequent deprivation of
money needed by the district for
other purposes. Realizing the
great need for early action, and de-
sirous of learning the sentiment of
the districts patrons, the school
board wishes to fortify its action of
the future by counsel with those OF
the community who should evince
greater interest than has been man.
ifested to date.
The school property used at pres
elt consists OF IL lots and a two
story, four roou structure. which Is
not modern; neither Is 1t fire-proof.
The new building did seem quite a
jump when II was authorized In 1905
the building 1t replaced having one
recn and one teacher and thirty to
ferty scholars. The $4,000 bond
issue authorized by the 1905 legis-
leture seemed a handsome and ade-
qeate sum. Subsequently w. w.
Williams traded the present site of
IL lots and $4,000 beside, which ad-
dltional cum went into the present
building. In addition, this struc-
ture absorbed s2.225 of the tax
payers money, maki.-g the cost of
the building close 70 $4,000, of
which bonded debt ss,225 remains
unpaid. This surely is not heavy
debt for a district having IN assess
ed valuation OF around threa-qaar-
tors of million dollars. This Ia
proven by the second lowest tax rate
for school purposes in the county,
the rate being the munilcent sum
of IT cen.o upon each 800 of prop
erty valuation.
No community ever served the
mental needs of its children too
we'll, and rather than trying to
make something out of nothing we
would prefer to see the presentpr
jects held in abeyance.
