Prince of Naples. His early life was
lonely for he had no childhood COM
panions and the regime under which
he lived was strict. From the age OF
ten he was made to rise at dnybreak
and after a cold bath and a cup of
broth he began his daily tasks. If he
fingered in bed he was made to wait
for the boullion until after his first
lesson. His military education was as
near perfect as possible. he having
been drilled in all the grades from
corporal to colonel. He is an ex-

he frequently rode out with the
cavalry in their practice marches and
took the jumps beside the men. His

Death in London

When a German Zeppelin dropped
bombs in London ON October 18th,
Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland Leadbetter
had narrow escape from being
killed with twenty or thirty others
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ E. Fay have just
received a letter from their daughter
Mrs. Leadbetter, Who with her hus-
band and child left here some weeks
ago on their way to South Africa
They were in London on the night of
October 18th and left their child
at a hotel while they went out with a
theater party. While at the theater
bomb dropped from a Zeppelin
fell in the same block and besides do
ing considerable damage to property,
snuffed out twenty or more lives.
The Leadbeters We're terrified and
rushed to the hotel. believing that
their son might have been victim of
the bombs. Very fortunately, how
ever, thee hild was found uninjured.
The Leadbetters had very narrow
escape and their Nevada friends will
be glad to learn that the are now
safely at their home in South Africa.

STATE BOARD
HAS TAX ROLL

1t has been customary in years past
for the County clerk to mail state
ments to taxpayers of the amount due
as the first installment of taxes, on or
about the first day of November, the
taxes becoming delinquent on the first
Monday in December. AS yet, these
statements have not been mailed this
month and it is hard to tell Just when
they will be placed in the hands of
the taxpayers, due to the fact that the
assessment roll of Douglas county is
still in the hands of the State Tax
Commission. County Clerk Jepsen
will not be able to make up the state
ments until the roll is received by
him and then 1t will take several
days to get things in shape to receive
the first installment of taxes.

half of the university regents who
are opposing the claim of the grand
lodge of Odd Fellows to the Hartung

made following the court decision
that the Odd Fellows have complied
with the terms of the will in estab-
fishing the Royal b. Hartung Home
for Orphans and Foundlings in this
city. The regents contend that the
terms of the will have not been COM

Southepn Pacific
Wins Its Point

The rule of the Southern Pacific
railroad requiring two full fares from
an occupant of Pullman drawing
room and one and one-half fares from
an occupant of a compartment was
pronounced reasonable yesterday by
the interstate commerce commission.
A complaint by the railroad commits
sion of Nevada was dismissed
Nevada WAS one of the few states
where the Southern Pacific company
mad established the double fare and
one and one-half fare rates on inter
state traffic. the rule having been
particularly applicable to intrastote
passenger traffic
About two years ago the railroad
commission of California denied the
Southern Pacific permission to make
the rule effective ON California intra-
state passenger business. II was
thought probable that in the light of
today's decision the company would
again ask the California commission
to sanction the practice

TOWN PROPERTY
CHANGES HANDS

The old Ritchford stable, establish
ed in Gardnerville almost at the very
beginning of the town, was closed up
this week and will shortly be con-
verted into garage. VIM. Ritchford
sold the business to VIM. Kruse sew
eral years ago and the latter turned
the property over To A. Settelmeyer
some months ago to secure a
mortgage. Mr.. Settlemeyer kept the
place open and Saturday closed a deal
with A. W. II. Helberg, the garage
man of this place for its purchase.
Mr. Helberg will remodel the build
ing and within short time will re-
move his garage from its present To-
cation to the new sites He also ex-
poets to use part of the building as a
jewelry store, having been in that
business at theis place until last
spring when he closed his store
pending the time that he could secure
new location on Main street.

E. w. Carman. general manager of

down from the property Tuesday and
reports that he has just completed
building a new road from the mill at
Carman Heights to the mine at Red
Canyon. The old road was very
steep and practically useless on that
account The grade has been reduced

low the use of a tractor for hauling
the ore from the mine to the mill
The company proposes to put on a
auto truck next spring to handle the
ore which is now being blocked out
in the mine.
Mr.. Carman endeavored to get the
assistance from others operating In
that locality in building the new road.
but was not successful and carried the
work to completion without aid ana
he now proposes to make the new
road strictly private and for the use
of his company. However, the old
road may be travelled by anyone who
may so desire.

STRAWBERRIES
IN NOVEMBER

1t seems hardly creditable that
Strawberries can be raised Carson
Valley in November. but such is the
case and last Friday this office re-
ceived box of delicious berries rails
ed by VIM Castle at his gardens west
of Sheridan and close to the foot of
Jobs Peak The berries were fully
ripe, beautifully colored and had all
of the excellent flavor of those raised
at his gardens in midsummer. But
nothing is impossible here in the way
of gardening. A few years ago when
Martin Shields was gardening in
Antelope Valley he produced water
melon that kept like pumpkin and
was a treat for the Christmas dinner
But now to receive Strawberries in
November, raised in Carson Valley,
makes one believe that others are
wizards in plant life besides the far
famed Luther Burbank.

for November /, 1915 to March 4th,
1916. have been postponed to January
10th to March 10Th. 1915. This change
has been made chiefly to accommodate
the farmers and the boys and girls
from the rural districts. In the last
few months those who have applied
for these courses have requested that
they be allowed TO enter the work
either in December or Jauary, as it
would be impossible to be in attend

weeks each year is about all of the
time they will devote to the Short
Course work and the most suitable
time during the academic year is from
January 10th TO March 20th, 1916.
