BOOSTING THEIR OWN GAME

A certain Los Angeles newspaper,
which has for years received its in
spiration and lifeblood from the horde
If real estate and orange grove sharks
that have infested that region AMI
worked the suckers' to fare-you-
well and merry ha-ha, recently gave
vent to an editorial warning to the
public advising against investments
in mining stocks, asserting that Gin
rine cases out of ten, yes, in 900 out
of 1000, the man or woman so foolish
as to part with good cash for mining
stock suffers a total loss.'
Then, after advising that "perfectly
safe investments in sound and seasoned
securities of companies doing good pay
ing business here in Southern Califor-
liza may be had at attractive prices,''
i urges: "Don't invest one dollar of
your savings in mining stocks, and re
gard with particular suspicion mining
stock that is exploited by public ad-
vertising.n
The paper in question is evidently
trying to stem the tide that is rapidly
drawing away from the meshes of the
real estate sharks that have long sup
ported it by liberal advertising of Los
Angeles "additions' stretching from
Mt Lowe on the east to three miles
cut into the Pacific Ocean, with Los
Angeles 16 miles inland at that. Where
can be found a more odorous scandal
than the operations of the Los Angeles
Investment company, founded upon the
real estate wild-catting' of the City
of Angels, which took approximately
$4,000 investors down the line to ruin
when the bubble bursted9
Did the papers of Los Angeles that
are now bowling against mining invest
ments put up danger signal and with
all their might fswat" the pestiferous
horde that was raking in the shekels
on wildcat real estate promotions, or
did they open their columns to unlim-
tied advertising and gleefully grab the
money that came their way from that
sourcef

ing companies and profits made through

FINE DISPLAY OF
EXCLUSIVE HOLIDAY GOODS

With their customary foresighted-
ness, the f. Reinhart company this
year secured a large supply of holiday
toys, in spite of the unsettled eondi-
tion of the market, owing TO the war.
These goods were obtained at prices
that will permit of their being sold at
ordinary prices. Today force of clerks
is engaged in placing on display, in
tie main aisle leading from the en-
trance to the store, one of the largest
and best assorted of exclusive holiday
goods ever seen in the state. 1t is by
no means confined to presents for the
Juveniles, but contains many articles
OF a more substantial nature, suitable
for gifts to adults.
On the morning of Monday, Decem-
Der 13, will be commenced the usual
holiday eut-rate sale in the grocery de.
partment. Everything on this side of
the store will be sold at reduced prices
during the sale, and prudent buyers
will do well to lay in supply of sta
Pie groceries.

WILL SOON START
UP SUGAR FACTORY

r. G. Bialy, one of the principal
bondholders of the Nevada Sugar Co.,
spent yesterday in this city, says the
Carson News, having been called here
on business connected with the fore
closure of the holdings of the company
in favor of the bondholders.
1t is the intention of Mr. Bialy and
his associate, G. r. Hawley of Bay
City, Michigan, to take the plant as
soon as the sale is authorized by Judge
harrington of the federal court, in pay
r1ent for the bonds, which with the in
terest amounts to $230,0O0. They also
fold stock in the company to the value
Of about $150,000 in addition to the
bond.
"The factory will be started" said
Mr.. Bialy, "and we will have man
right here in Carson in very short
time for the purpose of explaining to
the farmers the advantage and the
profit there is in the raising of beets.
We will furnish seed and supply the
farmer necessary money to properly
handle the crop should he so desire.
There is money in beets, and we hope
to have the owners of 1000 acres of
land between here and Reno raising
them and selling to the Nevada Sugar
company. The land here should grow
all the way from 10 to 20 tons to the
acre and net the farmer handsome
profit on his crop
Continuing, Mr.. Bialy said "this is
my first visit to this section of Neva-
da, but it will not be the last, as there
is great possibility right here for
large tonnage of beets, and from the
description that has been given me of
the Carson Valley section, the land
thre should produce all the way up to
80 tons to the acre of the very finest
sugar beets. am going to take trip
up there in the morning and see the
country"
When asked who would control the
Nevada Sugar company, Mr.. Bialy re.
Piled that it would be owned and con-
trolled by himself and Mr.. Hawley,
and no mention was made of the name
OF George Wingfeld, who, it was re-
ported, would be interested in the en-
terprise.

vey. Many compliments We're extended
to the genial host and w. j. Bradley
for the exeellenc of the menu.
The function lasted from Z until IL
o o'clock, and there was a continual flow
of soul and wit, although the inspira-
tion was confined to a mild punch, and
everyone present seemed to be in the
best of spirits. The notable address of
the evening was mad by Judge S. j.
Bonnifeld, who spoke of the early bar
of the county. Several songs were rem
dered, including cit was Springtime

1.-THE Niger T0NIGHT'S
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

The most popular player on stage or
screen. That describes William Far
mum, who, since his exclusive engage
Isent by William Fox, has become a
prime favorite with film fans all over
the country, and scored ever greater
personal triumphs than he did when on
the stage. Mr.. Farnum, the first great
dramatic artist permanently to forsake
the stage for the screen, will be seen in
film version, of elaborate plan, of
Edward Sheldon S famous book and
drama, "The Niger at the Nixo
this evening "The Niger" has swept
the country like a tornado. Overflow
audiences everywhere have greeted
the picture which was selected to in
aagurate the second week (the most
trying period) of the experiment which
turned the huge auditorium Of the New
York Hippodrome into picture house
The Niger played to 10000 paid
thereby establishing a record that this
admissions in the week at the clip,
screen play has kept right on repeat
ing.
"The Niger is one Of the most re
cent releases made by William Fox,
end features this notable actor whom
he lnred from the stage with the stag
gering salary of 100000 a year, in
suring his investment by having a poll
cy of 100000 written on Mr.. Farnum s
life. Such a personality as Mr.. Far
NUNS holds much that is of intense in
terest to every film fan. This article
means to deal with some of the more
intimate aspects of this athletic young
star S life, both upon "the silent
stage" and in his private life.
Mr.. Farnum is in the full prime of
n vigorous youth, with face tanned by
outdoor exercise and a frame like
steel spring. His muscles are as hard
as a blacksmith IS, as many an actor
has found to his cost when pitted
in screen combat against him. During
the making Of a picture in the studio
Mr.. Farnum, although the country's
most eminent star, obeys uquestioning-
ly the mandates of Edgar Lewis, who
has directed all the productions in
which Mr.. Farnum has appeared, which
locility, be it said in passing, is more
than can be writ down about most
stellar persons. Mr.. Farnum has amply
proved his dramatic versatility in the
'eleases featuring him so far shown
For instance, in fThe Nigger,' in
which, as Governor Philip Morrow, he
gives a performance that for strength
and dignity can only be termed mag
niieent. With impressive restraint he
brings out all the light and shade of a
roble character, teeming with power
and versatility. His grip of the role
is sure, certain and magnetic.

ASK RECEIVER FOR
ROCHESTER MINES

Two important mining suits were
flied in the office of the county clerk
today, having been transferred from
Washoe county. Both are entitled NJ.
B. Moore, ct al, plaintiffs, VS.. Roeh-
ester Mines Company, ct al, defend
ants.
In the first action plaintiffs allege
that they are minority stockholders in
the Rochester Mines company, setting
forth that at various times, through
fraud and conspiracy, the directors of
the company appropriated to their own
uses large blocks of the capital stock
Of the corporation, without any valu-
able consideration.
Plaintiffs pray the court to decree
that all of this stock be declared the
property of the corporation, held in
trust by the said directors; the de
PENDANTS be restrained from transfer
ring said stock on the books of the
company, and that during the penden-
cv of this action a receiver be appoint
ed to take charge of the affairs of the
corporation.
In the second suit it is alleged that
the board of directors of the Rochester
Mines company, at meeting held in
June of this year, voted to purchase
the Rochester Weaver stock, exchang-
ing stock in the consolidated corpora
tion to pay therefor. Plaintiffs allege
that they are the owners of an undi-
vided one-fourth interest in the Roeh-
ester-Weaver company, and pray the
court to declare null and void the reso-
Iu4iou of fha hoard of directors an
thorizing the purchase and for an order
restraining said board from making the
consolidation.

FIRE DESTROYS
N.S.L.ROUNDHOUSE

The roundhouse and machine shops
of the Nevada Short Line railroad,
from Nenzel to Rochester, burned to
the ground at o'clock Tuesday even
Ing. Included in the loss ara two au-
toInobiles, which were in the shops foe
it pairs and which will be a total loss
The motor car, which is used for pas
sOnger and express service, was in an.
other building some distance away and
was unharmed.
a motor truck, known as "Mike, !"
was in the building with the motor car
and also escaped damage.
The fire started from an explosion of
gasoline, and before an alarm could
be turned in, the entire building was
in flames.
The night watchman had a narrow
escape from death as he stepped into
the building at the moment the explo-
sion occurred. He was coverd with the
flaming gasoline and fled from the
uilding with his clothing in flames.
The Short Line hotel, across the
street, and the Southern Pacific depot
were saved from the flames by heroic
efforts ON the part of citizens and EN-
rloyes of the company.
The machinists and blacksmiths of
the company lost all their tools, as the
ere spread so rapidly that nothing
could be taken from the building.
Officials of the company state the
fire will not interfere to any great ex-
tent with traffic to Rochester, as an
ether engine is available from Portola
and the motor car will continue to
make regular trips.
1t is considered fortunate that NJ
wind was blowing, as, on this account,
the fire was confined to one building.
