A lady visiting the show rooms said, when they built their house. they would plan the bathroom first, then the veranda and as for the balance, that would just be built around. Good common sense that for the plumb ing must be good to prevent disease and the fresh air enjoyed while on ftAe sVeEa0Q4 QIO4nOISS 8OOQ Snoa1Ln. It's combination worth while.
 The Inspiration for remark must have been found right there, for there it was, most appealing bathroom, large tub with shower bath, equipped with a little handle marked lone turn cold, two turns warm and three turns hot,s and a rubber cap for stni1ady,' to keep her hair dry A beautiful pedestaled lavatory and above 1t a beyel edge mirror which the writer discovered to be the door of a metal medicine cabinet.

 The Crane representatives say that plumbing goods in the world, that the plumbing goods in thew orld, that the specific purpose of this show room
 was to place at the disposal of the home owner or prospective builder, a
 satisfying means of selecting from an endless variety, the fixtures and ma tteria1 best adapted to their home and needs.
 Accompanied by architect, builder or plumber or alone, the show room is lat the disposal of Bridgeporters and provides an ideal means for selection. | It obviates# the disappointments that the selection from catalogue frequent ly causes. Being a help to you, it l is doubly a help to the architect,
 plumber or builder. Surely it is 9 tboon to Bridgeport; an example of the fright kind of spirit; it should and will be appreciated.

There is a farmer in Wisconsin who
is deserving of the admiration of the
entire country. The other night he
heard in his hen coop a noise which
made him suspect that hen thieves
might be at work. He took. his shot
gun and went out to explore. First
he came upon the thieves automo-
bile, and quickly removed the spark
plug. Then, proceeding to the hen
roost, he fired one shot over the heads
of the thieves, who dropped their
plumber and ran for their automobile,
They were unable to start it, and re-
treated into the brush by the road
side. The farmer holds the automo-
bile, awaiting a claimant.

P. Everts, Prominent in the Early
History OF This Camp, Dies At
San Francisco Aged SO Years

The Reno Gazette of January z
has the following announcement of
the death at San Francisco, Cali
fornia, of P. Everts, n of the early
pioneers of Eastern Nevada:
P. Everts, Nevada pioneer and
builder of the Eureka & Palisade
railroad, died at San Francisco New
Years Eve and his funeral services
have just been held there. Judge
A. E. Cheney, his nephew, returned
this morning from attendance at the
funeral, which was attended by Steve
Gage of Oakland, also a pioneer Ne
vadan.
Gage, Everts and five others were
comrades together in leaving Ohio in
1852 and coming West. Everts set
tied at Hamilton, former county seat
of White Pine County, after a time,
and lived there from 1868 to 1873.
He not only constructed the Eureka
and Palisade line afterward, but
acted as its superintendent for years.
He left Nevada in 1883, owning a
large amount of property. He was
SO years old, and a widow and a
daughter survive him.
Every year on March II it was the
custom of the survivors of the orig
inal west-bound party of seven to
meet at a dinner. GAGE is now the
only survivor. To Judge Cheney
Gage spoke most highly of the char
acter and kindly nature of Everts.
Mr.. Everts drove out only the Sun
day before his death, and at that
time Gage did the only thing that
ever made his aged friend angry
ne tried to help him into the carriage.

new RAILROAD TO BULLION
Reported That Eureka Nevada
Road Will Build Into That
Camp This Spring

Reports have been current here
for the past week that the Eureka
Nevada Railway Company intends
building a 12-mile spur from its
Raine's siding in Pine Valley to the
mines of Bullion district, in Elko
County. just over the Eureka line.
These mines are now reported to be
paying teams $500 per ton for haul
ing ore a distance of % miles.
Bearing on this recent railroad
rumor, a recent issue of the Carson
Appeal has the following:
But little is known in this part of
Nevada of the Bullion mines, situat-
ed 80 miles from Elko, but from ac-
counts reaching Carson they are APP
parently going to make a consider
able showing in the future mineral
production of the State. The COM
pany owning the property is now
employing $50 mules and teams
transporting ore from the mines to
a point on the Western Pacific, five
miles distant from Elko, but this has
been found so expensive that they
are now preparing to build a narrow
gauge railroad to connect with the
Western Pacific.
The company has been quietly
working on their property for a long
time and has opened up some i'm
mense ore deposits.
