Open It Before Her.

Helen with interest. Mrs Stevens s

can't expect TO have "a paragon like

that she is clean and honest"
That's right DO you think you'll

Well, il you hear Of anyone. let me
know Are YOU getting off here Yes,

Helen said goOdbv TO Mrs. Stevens
and rode on down TO SD street She
wandered down to Ordway & CrOfts
and bought a shirtwaist and had il put
UP i'm small parcel so as to have
something TO carry when she went 10

Of cinnamon candy. OF which Warren
was fond, and had = soda to take up
time She wanted to get down there
just about closing up time and come
home with Warren.
Iinger as she would. it still seemed
early when she entered the huge office
building and took the elevator. boy
met her as she opened the office door
and asked whom she wished to see.
Mr. Curtis, please" she said with
some dignity Tell him his wife
would like to see hirl.'
Warren Greets Her.
The boz vanished and Helen sat
down TO wait. She went to Warren's
office so seldom that il was quite n
novelty. As a rule Warren did not
like her 10 come there. He had often
said that there was no need Of a mans
mixing mp his business and his home
life, and Helen, although she did not
exactly agree with him. was always
willing to abide by his wishes
The boy came out after a minute or
two and asked Mrs. Curtis 10 come i'm.
Helen followed him into Warren's Of

said when Nora asked her If she didn't
feel well Just warm up some pota-

As she ate Helen tried To decide
what TO do about the letter She
might take it down town and drop in
on Warren casually. That was a good
pect that she had taken any interest

be very uncomfortable She hardly
knew what TO do She had heard that

Gus IL made them furious. Helen was
uncertain as to just how to proceed
Nora came in and set an cellar down
before her Helen faucied that it didn't
taste as good es usual and pushed it
aside after a few mOuthfuls She
would go down town and do a little
shopping and then go into Warren's Of
flee with a couple of small packages.
She could hand him the letter with a
nonchalant air, too. and perhaps her
fears were Eroundless anyway
She dressed carefully i'm her brown

away from her dressing table she felt
satisfied with her appearance. in the
subway she met Mrs Stevens and for
the first time in her life felt like not
talking TO her old friend. She remem-
bered that il was just about a year ago
that Mrs Stevens had come TO her. blue
and unhappy. TO ask about her own
husbands fidelity. It seemed strange
that she should be on the subway just
now Helen remembered how secure
she had felt I'm Warren's fidelity at the
time. Now IL seemed as though the
foundations OF her life were crumbling
under her.
Mrs. Stevens spied Helen almost i'm
mediately and crossed over to sit beside
her.

Engineer Stevens Finishes His Lab

In Portland.

I G. Stevens, an irrigation engi-
neer in private practice. in Portland,
Ore. who recently completed the
task of completing reconnaissance
work In the Walker river basin,
left Sunday for his home.
His duties were the checking up
of surveys made by the service sew

concerning the subject on file in the
Fallon Office.
have been in an unsettled condition
for years, according to Mr.. Stevens,
but prospects point to its adjudica-
ton. Two of the largest owners of
water rights-Pacific Livestock Co.
and T. B. Rickey-haye agreed TO
submit differences to an arbiter.
The Walker river basin and water
shed present feasible irrigation
scheme of great magnitude. In 1902
and again in 1905 the Z. s. r. S.
made extensive surA eys in the basin,
which failed 10 develop into a pro-
jeet because, among other things,
the landowners would not consent
to the subdivision required by law.
Hence the scheme lapsed into moth
ingness. IL is claimed, however,
that the stimulus behind Mr. Stew
ems recently concluded field work
is embodied in the governments de-
sire TO determine whether land with
drawals made under the terms of
the reclamation law shall be further
withheld from entry or restored 10
entry and turned over to exclusive
private enterprise.
Mr.. Stevens returned last July,
together with his wife and three
small children, from Barcelona,
Spain, where he was employed by the
Spanish government to work out de-
tails for irrigation systems in the Vi
einity of Valencia, a task that con-
sumed three years. lie said thal
foreign arid land reclamation enter
prise is beset with the same difficult
ties that attend in this country. In
Spain, despite the inuring of the
people to strict frugality and semi
priyation, the same plants have is
sued from Spanish irrigation under
takings as have followed like effort
in the United States, the only diff
ference being that troubles are ex-
pe1ssed in different languages.
Mr.. Stevens is certain that re-
fusal on the part of the settlers to
sanction the project drainage
scheme would greatly retard devel-
opment.

SCALOED TO DEATH IN HOT
SPRINGS NEAR SALT WORKS
PLEASURE TRIP OF TRAVELLERS
HAS TRAGIC END.
Wife Rides All Night In
Unknown Country Seeking Aid
For Injured Husband.

A tragedy occurred at the hot
springs, near the Eagle Salt works,
about IL miles north of Hazen last
Saturday, when Carl F. Buss acci-
dentally stumbled into a boiling hot
spring and was fatally scalded.
Mr.. Buss, whose home is at Boise,
Idaho, was travelling overland from
that city to California in company
with his wife and three children,
intending to visit relatives in Los
Angeles and incidentally take in the
two expositions. They we're making
the journey in easy stages and had
camped at the springs where they
intended resting for a few days.
They knew of the existence of the
springs, but did not realize the
water was boiling hot. Arriving
after dark, Mr.. Buss started in
search of spring of cold water and
in some unaccountable manner
stumbled and fell into hot spring
in the dark. Managing to gain the

collapsing.
Mrs. Buss realizing the serious
condition of her husband immedi-
ately mounted horse and set forth
to seek assistance. She was unac-
quainted with the geography of the
country, but after travelling all
night, managed to reach Fernley
early Sunday morning, where she
informed DR.. Joslin of the accident
that had befallen her husband. DR..
Joslin Immediately left for the scene
of the accident in an automobile
and found Mr.. Buss still alive, but
delerious. Hastily rendering the
first aid service, the party returned
to Fernley when Mr. Buss was
placed on No. 23 for Reno, but ex-
pired at Clark's station.
Buss had recently sold small
ranch near Boise and was in COM
Portable circumstances. He was a
member of Boise Lodge of Masons
and the Mystic Shrine, aged 38
years. The body will probably be
shipped to Los Angeles for inter-
ment.

Nevada Resources win be developed.


A group of Nevada men, having
in mind the possibilities of Nevada
and the financial reward attendant
upon the proper development of
various industries, have formed the
Nevada Industries corporation with
headquarters in the Clay-Peters
building in this city.
1t is the purpose of the incorpor-
ators of this company to take part
in the development of the resources
of the state. While operations will
not be limited in scope, particular
attention will be paid to the coloni-
zation of large tracts of land-to in
crease the population of Nevada by
making it easy for men of small
capital to become permanent resi-
dents of the state.
This company in its initial an
nouncement calls attention to the
fact that there are 100000 acres
of arabic valley lands within the
borders of Nevada with but 10000
under cultivation.
The board of directors consists of
seven men, president, Lem Allen;

Washington. May Like a
thnnderboldt came first the news OF
the torpedoing of the Lusitania. And
while the administration will await
the full details before expressing
an opinion, it is admitted in official
circles that the situation is the most
serious since the beginning of the
war in Europe.
That the Lusitania was torpedoed
by a German submarine is made evil
dent from the advertisement which
appeared in the newspapers warning
the travelling public that the Lusi-
tania was to be torpedoed, and that
the war zone included the waters
adjacent to the British Isles and that
travellers taking passage on vessels
OF the English or any of the allies
did SO at their own risk. The ad-
yertisement was sigsed Imperial
German Embassy"
The Lusitania, one of the most
beautiful steamers ever constructed,
was a sister ship to the Mauretania,
and was without doubt the most
of the transatlantic leyia-
than. For luxury, comfort and
speed she was rivalled only by her
sister ship.
This gigantic liner made her maid
en- trip across the Atlantic to New
York in 1907, and until that record
was broken by the Mauretania, held
the record for speed across the At
lantie.
Five hundred and ff..l first-class
could be accommodated
in the most lavish style on this gi-
gantic floating palace, beautiful
lounging, writing, music and smok-
ing rooms were at the disposal of
the passengers. Suites for those
who could afford them were of sew
eral rooms, including bed rooms,
drawing room, dining room and
bath.
In all the Lusitania could carry
5000 persons, and her crew, which
consisted of several hundred and
even when going at her highest
speed articles lying on the tables
and dressers would not be disturbed.
The desire of the British govern
ment for fast mail and express
steamers is responsible for the build
ing of the Lusitania. and they were
so constructed that 12-inch guns
could be mounted on her decks, She
was constructed at the ship yards of
John Brown & Co., of Claybank,
England.
The survivors do not agree as to
whether the submarine fired one or
two torpedoes. A few says they saw
the periseope. Many attest to trac-
ing the awke of foam as projectile
came toward the vessel The only
points in which all concur is that
the torpedo struck the vessel a vital
