day after spending several days in
Gardnerville, the guest of oldtime
friends. Abe is now an authority
on "Washoe Zephyrs" and declares
that from his experience of last
month, he was convinces that they
are no Joke. At his poultry farm
near Reno the wind demolished a
chicken house 100 feet long, and the
cracking of timbers frightened sew
eral hundred chickens to death.
Mr.. Rice narrowly escaped serious
injury. He was in the chicken
house when the crash came, but
fortunately the building was picked
up clear of the ground and left the
astonished man standing in his
tracks unhurt. When the building
struck mother earth. it was badly
wrecked About 90 feet of the
building has been rebuilt. The ac-
cident occurred just at a time when
the highest profits were being de
rived from the business, which loss.

Gives Some
Good Advice

At the stockmens' meeting held at
Reno Saturday George Wingfield
sounded a note of warning and urg-
ed his hearers to be more attentive
to the duty of selecting and electing
com petent men to fill Offices in Me-
vada.
He said that it frequently hap
pened that some person comes To
Nevada for a divorce, and after a
residence here of about seven
months, comes out for public office,
and especially is this true of men
aspiring to the state legislature. A
great many things are in need OF
attention in this state and the cat
tie mems association can do world
of good with their organization.
Seven members of the last legisla-
ture left the state within 80 days
after the session ended" said Mr..
Wingfeld. You cannot get re-
suits br sending men of this class to
Carson to make your laws. You
foot the bills and you should pay a
little attention to the selection OF
capable men who have the interest
of the state at heart, for public
office.
1T would not be a bad id Il i. the
next legislature should repeal at
least one-half the laws now Oh the
statutes and then adjourn not Il
meet again for twenty years. All
business interests should stand to-
gether and labor for the common
good of the state. Results can be
secured onlo through the effecting
of organizations. and without an or
ganized effort the results will be
scattering. The state was fortunate
last year in having a good senate or
we would have received the worst
warping of our lives

Mr.. Curtz declares that he has

in the west and during the past
seven years has blocked millions of

be valued at S23. .000, 900

that a smelter will be built near the
