MISTAKEN IDENTITY

A telegram was received in SaQk
Centre Monday morning stating that
Municipal Judge Frank Lyons of Lit
tie Falls had been killed in a railroad
wreck at GAINESVILLE and to notify his
family who were camping at Ward
Springs. Mr.. Parker called the
Springs and getting ]. w. Ward on
the line told him the contents of the
message. ]. w. insisted that there
must be something wrong as he had
talked with Frank less than five min
utes before. The men killed were
Little Falls men, however. They were
Fred Bassett and Edward Johnson.
They had been working with the Kip
pley crew on the state road near AL
bany and were in charge of car load
of horses belonging to farmer re-
siding near Pierz and being shipped
to North Dakota. Both men were un-
married.

MAY ESCAPE HOG CHOLERA
Indications Are That the Loss in Min
nesota from This ScOurge Will
Be Nominal This Year.

minnesota seems likely to escape
serious loss by hog cholera this year"
says H. Preston Hopkins in charge of
the hog cholera section at the Mime
sofa Experiment Station.
"Only 2 outbreaks have occurred"
continues Mr.. Hoskins. Zone of these
was in Meeker county and the other
in Polk county, between Crookston
and Fertile.
Demands for serum to meet these
outbreaks were met. promptly by the
state serum plant. This plant pro-
duced 573210 cubic centimeter (al-
most 10000 doses) during July. This
brought the production for the first
seven months of 1915 to about $1,000
900 cubic centimeters. Consequently
the plant is prepared to meet any de-
mand very promptly. Distribution, as
in the Meeker county case, is being
made through local distributing agen-
cies. Of these, there are three in
Meeker county: Litchfield, Grove City
and Dassel.
"The Meeker County Swine Breed
ers' Association has taken very &C
tive interest in the work in its terri
tory, and to this association, of which
GA. Amidon agriculturalist of Itch
field High school is secretary, much
credit is due for checking the spread
of the disease.
"The critical time of the year for
the spread of cholera, however, has
just arrived and will continue through
September. Farmers and others there
fore should use the utmost precaution
and see to it that any illness among
their hogs is promptly investigated.
In this way they will do real SER
vice both to themselves and to their
neighbors."

SPLENDID GRAIN SAMPLES

S. P. WINNER, the live wire farmer
residing near Albany, was in Sank
Centre Monday evening in attendance
at the meeting of the stockholders of
the Stearns County Fair. Mr.. VIM
mer brought with him samples of
grain grown on his farm. One was
selected and pedgreed Swedish oats
grown on one Of the ]. ]. Hill plots
of five acres. These oats yielded
921s bushels per acre. The second
was a sample of blue stem wheat
grown on 1914 Hill plot sowed to
Barley. This wheat yielded 341a bu-
shells per acre, demonstrating quite
clearly that the fertilizer put upon
the ground will last for more than one
season. Mr.. WINNER is a very high
grade farmer under any circumstan-
ces but his experience has taught him
that the Hill way" of farming pays
big profits.

the first part of August at Detroit,
Mich, by S. G. Schwarzbauer.
The officers for the coming year will
be elected and the business of the
meeting will close with the selection
of the next meeting place.
Immediately after the close of the
meeting the carriers and their ladies

An informal program is being ar
ranged for after supper and the days
outing will lclose with the carriers at

The latter part of last week very
cordial invitation signed by Secretary
Schwarzbauer and James A. Caugh-
rem, president of the commercial club,
was mailed out to every carrier in the
district, and responses already receiv-
ed indicate quite clearly that the Sank

be the most successful in the history
of the: association.
Of course the entertainment will be
in direct charge of Messrs. Compton,
Barnett, Mcintyre, Schwarzbauer,
Meyer, and Mrs. Jessie Wallace, the To-

men and citizens generally should
bend every effort to make the stay of
the guests as pleasant as possible and
no doubt they will do so.

ed the meeting of the stockholders of
the Fair Association at the Sank Cen
tire Commercial Club rooms Monday
evening. Mr.. Boerger stated that the
rural school exhibit this year would
be larger than ever, and that over
1000 children had taken part in the
potato growing contest. Speaking of
this contest he said it had served its
purpose and with the cooperation of
the Fair association he would urge
the children to take up corn growing
next year. He said there was about
$500 cash in sight for the rural school
building at the county, fair and that
by next year surely there would be
very creditable building erected for
this purpose.
Mr.. WINNER spoke in behalf of Leo
Briol, a young man from his town,
who had devoted considerable time
in perfecting bag punching act and
urged the association to book him
for series of entertainments in front
of the grand stand if the program
was not already filled. Mr.. Broil was
present and favored the fair officers
with a short exhibition of his skill.
He made such favorable impression
that he was booked Immediately and
will appear each afternoon.
The committee in charge of the
speakers have been extremely fortu-
nate this year in securing three men
of national reputation to address the
fair crowds. Hon. Knute Nelson, Min
nesota's senior United States Senator,
will speak Tuesday. Empire Build
er James J. Hill will deliver an ad-
dress to the farmers on Wednesday
and on Thursday, st. Cloud Day, Gov.
Hammond will have message for
the people of Stearns county.
1t was decided to allow automobiles
to park inside the race track enclos-
ure this year. The charge for this
will be so cents for a single seated
car and $1.00 for the larger cars. This
will relieve the congested condition in
the grand stand and will make it pos
sible for the people to enjoy the races
and free attractions without leaving
their cars. III q .... % 4.

POTATOES GROWN ON
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FARM.

THAT Is a remarkable exhibit OF
potatoes General Kyle brought in Sat.
urday from the Industrial school. No
doubt he will place them on display
at h county fair nov being held on
the Rodeo grounds.
This experiment on the Industrial
school farm proves the great value of
land in this valley. Even if 1t grows
only potatoes there is money In own
ing land along the Humboldt. Pota,
toes VIII always command good prices
Just o they retail at S37 a ton and
an acre will produce five tons.
The one thing needed OF course to
make the Humboldt valley soil pro
ductiye Is water. But water can be
had anywhere in this valley by pump,
Ing. This has been proven on the
north side of the river at the Indus,
trial school four miles cast of town.
Water Is also found In abundance on
the south side at the Van Driolcn
ranch six miles to the west of town.
And 1t requires very little water 20
grow a crop of potatoes. One or two
~irrlsations arc all that are neeed. The
potatoes at the Industrial School were
not planted till the middle of May.
They were dug the first OF September.
Thus the irrigation Is short and the
expense OF pumping Is not great. Prob.
ably nowhere in the valley would
the lift be over twenty feet.
Finer potatoes were never grown
than those shown by General Kyle.
The Industrial school is proving its
value If for nothing moro than its
experiments in agriculture. This ex.
hibit of potatoes demonstrates the
wonderful possibilities of the Hum.
boldt valley.

UNPRECEDENTED BANK
RESERVES IN NEW YORK.

THEY are now holding the annual
convention of the American Bankers
association in Seattle. William 4.
Law, of Philadelphia, president OF the
association, or his a to attend the
convention said in Chicago as con-
tanned In a press dispatch:
when the bank reserves, which are
greater now than they have ever been
in the history of the country are dis
tributed the nation will enjoy almost
unbelievable prosperity. The volume
of money on hand is so great that it
can not find a natural outlet"
There Is other evidence to the ef-
feet that great stores of money are
accommodating in the bank vaults OF
New York. Roger w. Babson explains
the reason for this in the Saturday
Evening Post. Among other things he
says:
AS a result Of my investigations,
including talks with bankers and man.
uf]acturers, with brokers and bond
dealers. l came TO this conclusion:
The very biggest men are, at the pres
ent time, buying very little of any
thing excepting when they get a real
bargain that they can take over at pri-
vate sale below current quotations.
All these men are building up big bank
accounts. apparently anticipating a
great readjustment. especially in the
bond market. at the close of the war"
The war is bound TO close in time.
If II does not end one way il will an.
other. At the rate they are now 20.
ing all the fighting men of Europe will
be killed off in a few years, or be held
as prisoners.
But before that time all the coun-
tries at war will be exhausted fnanci.
ally. The English pound sterling is
now at its lowest discount In its his.
tory. There is increasing evidence
that Germany desires peace. When
the desire is great enough the neces,
sary concessions will be made.
Then will come the great readjust,
ment. The banks reserves of New
York will be turned loose for invest.
ment in the west. Then will come
Nevada's opportunity.
The great shale belt lying STRETCHING
Tor more thar forty miles south of Ell
ko will be developed. We may eX,
pect 10 see 10 only Mr.. Catlin estab,
lish a large plant for turning this
shale into oil and other products but
no doubt the Southern Pacific com
pany will also develop its vast shale
holdings.
But 1t is idle to expect TO see any
OF these enterprises go ahead unit
after the war. Therefore II is TO the
interest of Nevada in every way to
have peace brought about.
A former president of the United
States was instrumental In bringing
TO a close the great war between Rus
STA and Japan. President Wilson in
the words of Chief Justice White has
achieved one of the greatest diplo
matte victories in all history. 1t MAJ
be that the role destiny has marked
for him is that Of peacemaker foI
Europe.
Then let us look for great prosper
ity in all Nevada. Our copper ant
gold, Il sheep and cattle, our lead
and tin. our shalc and agriculture viii,
receive the attention Of capital. Money
will flow into this state for investment
and for years to come the people Of
this state will be reaping a golden har
vest. Let us keep up a stout heart un
III the day of readjustment comes.

CATTLE SHOULD HAVE
WATER TRoUGHS.

HAS II ever occurred to the stock
rlen Of Elko county that it would be
a fine thing to provide watering
troughs for their horses and cattle?
In the old days OF the luxuriant
bunch a it was thought not even
necessary to lay in a supply Of hay
for winter.
Again 1t was believed that stock did
not require shelter from the winter
SHOWS and storms. They stood around
the hay stack and many shivered 10
death.
But the stockmen did finally put I'D
hay and later they built barns and
shelters. 1t was good business to do
SO.
There is n most successful stock.
man in the Humboldt valley who
finds 1t good economy to give his sheen
warm water through the winter. The
animals eat less hay when the water
Is warmed. This is plain enough. Hay
Is fuel. If the stock are fed cold
water they must burn hay to keep
their blood warm.
This brings Is back to the water
trough. A few years back stockmen
would have hooted at the idea of in.
curing the expense of a watering
trough for range cattle.
But the past summer has taught its
lesson. 1t will not be long till stock
ment Will see that 1t is a good invest.
ment to provide clean drinking water
for their animals.
The making of beef is n syntheti.
cal chemical process. There are lust
two things required to make a fat
steer. One Is grass and the other Is
water.
1t would be idle to speculate as to
which. is the more important. Both
are essential. The COW would live
longer on water alone than on grass.
She VIII do better on poor grass thar
on poor water.
The object lesson of the past sum.
mer Is well illustrated on Lone Noun.
tain. The Ely Consolidated company
spent twelve hundred dollars I'm put.
ting In water works on the DR.. Mason
copper property.
Is there a cattle I'm Elko
county that has spent twelve hun.
dred dollars In putting in a watering
troughf Perhaps not one stockman
In a hundred fails to make money in
Elko county. We do know that many
mining companies fail to pay divi.
dends through bad management or
otherwise.
Yet 1t was left for the mining com.
pany to provide a watering trough on
Lone Mountain for stock.
The summer just closing has been
very dry. Many small streams ceased
to flow altogether.
On parts OF Lone Mountain the cat
tie stand knee deep In mud and filth
around springs and water holes try.
Ing to get a drink. II Is a shame to
see the animals trying to drink that
putrid stuff. II is n wonder they do
not all die.
Ia II any wonder then that the cat.
tie learn to travel miles to the Mason
watering trough to get n good drink
OF water? They gather around that
trough sixty at a time, drink II dry and
wait In turn for II to MI again from
n trickling inch pipe.
SO thirsty are the animals AT times
that they stand and lap the water as
II Issues from the pipe. Yet this is
the same water found on other parts
OF the mountain. All that Is needed in
other places is a watering trough.
1t Is surprising to see how fat and
sleek the range cattle are. They
would do even better II furnished with
a supply Of good pure water. The
watering trough ia bound to come. It
VIII be money in the pockets OF the
Btockmen.
