Small Fish Ponds.

The American Fisheries society ia. thers project that has already re- ceived serious consideration in many parts of the country, and should. if put into practice, help to reduce the cost of living. This project is the creation of small ponds, an acre or two in extent, on every farm large enough to contain them. The ponds should be six or seven feet in depth and furnished with vegetation suited to the needs of the fish with which they are stocked As no other food would be required the cost of provid- ing a continual supply of fish would be very small Trout have been for many years matched and reared in the waters of sporting clubs, and i'm mense numbers of them have been raised for commercial purposes. In a small pond fed by cold springs they can be bred in great quantities so as to furnish sport as well as food Carp, pickerel, eels and perch can also be reared without great expense. Dr. Charles Fl. Townsend, the director of the New York aquarium, has shown his interest in the project for estab- fishing these small ponds by prepar- ing a booklet giving detailed informa- tion in regard to their stocking and maintenance.

POINTS OUT NATURES ERROR
Daily Duties to Discourse on Matters of Conscience.

Wealth, as we know" sad Mir. Gwimpleton, is very unevenly dis tributed, but conscience is more so.
 Some men are overburdened with conscience; some have none at all. Some people worry themselves sick over this or that real or imagined transgression of the civil or the moral law.
 There are others who worry only that they cannot safely transgress the more.
 Between these two extremes we have the man commonly described as overconscientious, meaning one wor- thy but timid, who lets a conscience too keen and active keep him from betterments of his fortune that he might otherwise compass. Then we have those people who are not trou- bled in such ways, who are all but conscienceless and whose conscience really lies dormant
 It IS true, too, that thing that may stir one mans conscience may not touch another's; we are differ ently constituted. There appears tc be no absolutely definite standard of conscience applicable to and actuat- ing all men alike. This enormously complicates the conscience situation.
 But still the great primary diftl- culty lies in the uneven distribution of conscience. If we could only have something like an even distribution of such conscience as now exists it would, for one thing, in some meas ure reduce piracy in it's manifold forms as now practiced under civilized conditions by men without conscience, and for another thing, it would by reducing the stock of the man of ab- normal conscience, spare him the wor- riments that now beset him and let him take without qualms whatever benefits rightfully belong to him. In fact, more even distribution of con science would tone Hp the world gen erally and make it in many ways vastly more comfortable world to live in.
 Pending that happy day it be- hooves us, l suppose-at any rate, my friend MacBlink, well meaning and cheerful but not always overtrustful man, says 1t does-to be still more or less wary in our dealings with our fellow man in order to avoid subject ing our well meaning but weaker brother to undue temptation, and to avoid being circumyented by some body who was perhaps overlooked en- tirely in the conscience distribution"

SECRECY IS KEPT

PETROGRAD WILL NOT PERMIT REPORTS CONCERNING RE.
 SUITS IN CARPATHUANs.
Evident From Prisoners Captured, That Germans Have put Some Of
 Their Strongest Men in Fighting. ?

London. Maiy G.-3 a m.-Petro- grad special dispatches today ndi. cate that little news has been allowed to leak out in the Russian capital concerning the latest Austro-German attack on the Russian forces in the east.
 The Times correspondent in a dis patch dated Wednesday says that while the German movement in the Baltic provinces is fizzling out. the pressure of the AustroGerman forces east of CracOw may be regarded as preliminary to one of the fiercest bat. ties on this front
 The So-mile front from the lower Nida to Gladyszow in the Caraa. thians, the correspondent adds. ifs now the scene of important develop. ments. 1t is premature to infer that the enemy already has deployed their bodies. The nature of the hostile grouping of the strictly defined sec tions rather indicates that the strong yanguards are engaged with the ob- ject of screening the deployment of large Austro-German forces The proximity of a secret concentration near Cracow, which is admirably adapted to serve as a cover len0n color to the assumption that here We are confronted with the main activity of the foe, whose object Is to turn our position in the Carpathians.'
 The Daily Mails Petrograd core spondent says:
 Tt is not yet clear where the enemys main blow will be directed All the Germans and Austrians nave done mp to the present is to attack at many places with the hopapsf coutus- ing the Russians as to their real object.
 Hitherto the most vigorous initia tive has been shown in the Cracow region. The whole aim of German strategy is to move the Russian army out of Hungary. Wheat there F sprouting and on it the Germans ana Austrians depend for their next win ter's bread The I.ibau adventure Is not regarded seriously here. Fcrtu. uately. Russia has now plenty of men for all the fronts"
 According to the Morning Posts Petrograd representative, prisoners captured by the Russians prove that some of Germany's best trained troops of the active army have been brought from France to the western front.

Another fatal automobile accident
occurred this morning about fve-t thirty
o'clock, and Bert Ricketts,, a we'll
known young man of Elko, lies cold
in death, and a heart-broken wife and
little baby are left to mourn him.
Mr.. Ricketts, left Hylton about
three-thirty this morning expecting to
arrive here about eight o'clock. At
the turn of the road a short distance
the other side of the Conrad Smith
ranch, where the grade runs close to
Smith Creek, the tracks Of the ma
chine show that the driver made no
effort to turn his machine, and it went
straight ahead and over the embank-
ment, which Is about eight feet high,
and into the creek. The machine
turned over and Mr.. Ricketts, was
caught underneath, and death was due
to drowning. The water at this point
Ia only about eighteen inches deep,
but the body was entirely submerged.
No injuries were found on the body
save a slight abrasion Of the right
hand
Conrad Smith heard the machine
coming when he got up about FIVE
twenty-five. When the noise of the en-
gine ceased he thought that Mr. Rick.
etts had broken down and he went
to investigate. When he arrived at
the grade he saw the machine upside
down but he did not see the driver.
He hurried to the Francis ranch where
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1915-06-01

he telephoned to Mr.. Hanna and the
latter with several others hurried to
the scene Of the accident. Then il
was discovered that Mr.. Ricketts, was
underneath the car in the water. The
sheriff and Justice Castle were noti
fed and they went to the place in
the formers car when an inquest was
held. The verdict of the jury was
that the deceased had come to his
death by accidental drowning.
1t is believed that Mr. Ricketts, had
fallen asleep driving the car, and this
accounts for his failure to make the
turn. From the point where he left
the road to the point where he ran
over the embankment is at least forty
feet, and the embankment Is at least
six feet from the road. The turn is
not sharp and the road is practically
level. The tracks of the wheels show
NO sign Of having skidded, and the
only manner in which the accident
can be accounted for is that the de.
ceased had fallen asleep.
The body was brought to Elko this
afternoon and taken to the Keyser Un.
dertaking Parlors. His father, who
lives in California has been notified
likewise the mother of Mrs. Ricketts,,
Mrs. Cox of Diamond valley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ricketts, have for some
time had under lease the Club Iodg.
ing house of this place.
