ed from the Airdome to the
court house because of the
death of Mr.. Gardner.
By the speaking hour, the
court room was comfortably
filled, and in a short time the
speaking began with the an
nouncement of candidates for
the minor state offices, Mr.. H.
E. King acting as chairman and
introducing the candidates in
short talks.
After several had spoken,
Senator Russell was introduced
and spoke abont thirty minutes,
telling the people of himself and
paying his respects mildly to
Gov. Brewer. Along this line
he was not nearly so severe as
we expected from reports of his
speeches elsewhere.
Lieut-Gov. Bilbo was the last
to speak and made about his
usual address. His speech was
logical and to the point and diff
fered from those when we heard
him on previous occasions in
that it was less vitriolistic and
and more towards constructive
of government.
However, he paid his respects
frequently to Gov. Brewer, in a !
very sarcastic way. Yet in the |
main his speech was devoted to
himself and the reasons why he
thinks he should be elected and
why some Of the other candi-
dates should not. His platform
was clearly stated and is such
that no progressive citizen can
object to. In some respects
Mr.. Bilbo has changed his views
since he was here last. In a
speech here less than a year ago
ne declared that when he was
elected governor he would give
out the jobs to his friends first
and then to the others, and that
ne would see that nothing was
eft for these others; this time he
openly opposed politics in our }
educational institutions and
;aid that he had in mind for one
olace a man who was we'll quail
led and that ne was not a Bilbo
nan either He strongly init
mated that a mans attitude
politically would play no part in
electing men for these places.
Upon the whole his speech was
veil received and given marked !
attention by all present but 7

Fire Threatened
Raycraft Rauch

A small sagebrush fire started
about | o'clock this afternoon on the
hillside close to the Virginia and
Truckee track and just west of the
Raycraft ranch. 1t spread with
lightning-like rapidity, and reminded
one of the old-time prairie fires
which the states of Nebraska and
Wyoming used to be visited with.
For a time it seriously threatened the
Raycraft ranch, but fortunately the
wind changed at a most opportune
moment and danger for the present
was averted.
The entire surveying crew of the
Virginia and Truckee, the officials oil
the road, together with thirty or
more citizens of the town, were
fighting the fire. At the time of go
ing to press the fire is under control
unless the wind changes.

Sends President
Bale Alfalfa Hay

Wilson is probably the first presl-

signed to him while occupying the
presidential chair. He has probably
received by this time a tiny bale of
alfalfa from Fallon-one of the
unique little souvenirs being sent out
calling attention to the alfalfa and
other industries of the Truckee-Car-
son project. The little bale was sent
by w. H. Reavis, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Reavis also sent little bales TO
all the members of the cabinet,
to Boss Farmer l. D. O'Donnell and

Special Demand
for Quicksilver

The quicksilver industry has ben
active during the first six months OF
1915, according to H. D. McCaskey Of
the United States geological survey.
Up to the beginning of the European
war the price per flask of seventy
five pounds in San Francisco had
not reached a monthly average OF
$40 since January, but in August en-
bargoes closed the important foreign
sources of supply, except the Italian,
and the average was quoted as $50
and much higher prices were quoted
for individual sales.
In September the price dropped
slightly, and in the last quartz,
shipments came in from Italy to take
| advantage of the domestic market
and the prices ranged from $53 to
SIS. Demand increased and supplies
were NOT Immediately available, sc
that in February the monthly aver
age price reached 500, in March S7S
falling to $3.50 in April, and SIS in
May. Italian supplies could no long
/ er be expected to compete when tina,

the price rose from $50 to $oO.-Sa1t
