WOOL EXPERT
To SPEAK

W. T. Ritch, the foremost authority
on the Australian system of shearing
and classifying wool, will deliver an
address on that subject at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, October 81 at the
Carson Valley Improvement Club
Hall, Minden. which the people of
Carson Valley are cordially invited TO
attend Mr. Ritch is a remarkably
interesting speaker and master of
his subject He has been engaged for
more that year in bringing TO the
attention of Western sheep men the
desirability of introducing the Aus
tralian shearing method in this
country.
A few years ago J. f. Cosgriff.
president of the Continental National
Bank of Salt Lake City, after an ex-
tended inquiry into our Western
woods brought from two to five cents
less a pound than the Australian
clip in the wool markets, discovered
that such difference in price was not
due SO much to difference in the
quality of the woods as it was to diff
ferences in the way the clip was
handled at the shearing sheds and
places on the market. Mr.. Cosgrin
imported Mr.. Ritch from Australia
to present to the sheep men of the
Western states the details of the
Australian system. The result is
wakened and very recently several
shearing sheds on the Australian plan
have been established At these
sheds careful accounts of the cost of
shearing and the results have been
kept; also the results of the new
method as compared with the old have
II has been found that the cost of
shearing is somewhat less than under
the old system, due to greater ef-
liciency in the process, and that the
classified clip has brought from three
to four cents pound more than IN
classified woods from similar grades
of sheep shorn at the same time and
in the same locality
II Is believed that Carson Valley
offers favorable location for one of
these shearing sheds and it is the
purpose of Mr.. Ritch to present the
matter in his address Sunday after
noon. Not only every sheep man, but
every farmer. in the county should lie
interested. A large attendance is de-
sirable.

TAKES BONDO
PLACER GROUND

f. Wallace, who has had consider
able to do with placer mines in diff
ferent sections of the country, has
spent some time in Pine Nut and after
careful investigation, has bonded 900
acres OF placer ground owned by L. M.
Jacobsen and Martin Sorensen. The
ground lies above the Anderson
ranch and is traversed by what is
known as Pine Nut creek. Several
prospect holes have been put down
and thus far the prospects have been
very encouraging. Within short
time the ground will be thoroughly
prospected and If the findings are M
to expectations, drilling machine
will be used to test the ground to bed
rock.
We are told that this is a dredging
proposition and in the event that the
preliminary work proves all tat is ex-
pected. dredger, such as is used in
different parts of California, and es-
pecially near Folsom, will be put to
work. The company has already
made arrangements with Mr.. Jacob
sen for the flow in Pine Nut Creek for
the operation of the dredger. Mr..
Jacobsen and Sorensen are to receive
SIS par acre for their holdings and
have given the company years
time before payment is to be made
The pares call for certain work to be
carried on during they ear and Mr.
Wallace is already arranging for the
preliminary work

To Improve
Pine Nut Ranch

l.. NJ. Jacobsen who owns the old
Anderson ranch in the Pine Nut Sec
tion, nine miles from Gardnervlle, is
planning to make many improvements
to his place during the fall and
winter. At present he has about 10
acres under cultivation and cut $50
tons of alfalfa hay during the season.
He now plans to move his stack yards
and corrals to higher ground in order
TO get a greater acreage to alfalfa
He also intends to build sheep pens
which will be provided with running
water in cement troughs and other
NEEDED improvements.
Mr.. Jacobsen is quite extensively
engaged in the sheep industry a the
present time and his Pine Nut prop
erty offers many advantages in that
industry. He is close to his mountain
ranges and the hay produced ON the
ranch makes it possible for lambing
and care of sheep during the winter
season without bringing the herds
down in this Valley. He just recently
brought his sheep in from the ranges
and they were in such splendid CON
dition that he sold four carloads of
lambs to j. Cassilet at top price.

Urges Citizens to
Remove Rubbish

At a meeting held by the Gardner
vile Fire Department Monday night,
it was decided to dispense with the
services of the night watchmen after
October 30th. However, owing to the
extreme dryness, it was decided to re-
tain that officer in his ex-officio
capacity as fire warden for ten days
in November to inspect yeards and
alleys and where necessary. to order
rubbish and leaves removed or des-
troyed. Property holders will be
notified of this order by card and it
is sincerely hoped by the department
that all will make an extra effort to
remove trash and leaves and thus re-
duce the possibility of fire If fire
should start during a windstorm, the
probabilities are that the greater part
of dhe town would go up in smoke, in
the same manner that Deeth was
nearly wiped OFF the map few days
ago.
At this meeting Joe Aldaz was select
ed as foreman of the hose department
to fill an existing vacancy.

Bounty Laws
Of This State


Bounty laws in the state of Nevada
not generally known to the public
provide liberal payment by the state
and counties for the killing of many
animals.
A trapper is entitled to collect S1.25
for coyote or prairie wolf, $2.75 for
lynx or wild cat and $40 far Il
mountain wolf.
Each county in the state pays the
following amounts for sealps: Coyote
or prairie wolf, 80 cents; lynx of wild
eat. 81; mountain lion So. The state
board or stock commissioners will
pay through the county clerk of each
county the following sums in addition
Coyote or prairie wolf, 75 cents; lynx
or wild cat, IS cents; mountain lion,
s..
The board of stock commissioners
requires that the entire hide be pre-
sented. The county clerk removes
the four feet at the knee, which leaves
the trapper with the scalp with which
to collect the bounty paid by the
county.
The last legislature passed law
authorizing the board of sheep com
missioners to pay the same bounty as
the stock commissioners, but this law
compels the county clerk TO cut off
the four feet and the ears and scalp.
The trapper who collects the bounty
fore, loses the bounty paid by the
county, as he has no scalp to show
that he trapped any of the animals
for the determination of which he is
paid.

In the Death of Frederick
Heise, Carson Valley Loses
a Most Valued Citizen

Frederick Heise, who was thrown
from wagon near Markleeville last
Wednesday when the brake rod broke
and let the heavy wagon run onto the
team, died from his injuries at Car
son Friday morning to which place
he was taken for medical treatment.
An operation was found to be neces-
sary but the internal injuries we're of
such nature that it was impossible
for the physicians TO save his life
The death of Frederick Heise is one
Of the most regrettable that has oc-
CURED in Carson Valley in many
years and his demise has brought
great sorrow to his family and as we'll
to his numerous business associates
and large circle of frineds.
Deceased was born in Wittlothe.
Germany. IS years ago Leaving his
home in that country he came to
America and settled in Carson Valley
39years ago. He Immediately found
employment and a few years later
purchased a ranch of his own, then
and there laying the foundation for
his successful farming and business
career. Nine years after taking up
his home here, he married Miss
Dora Neddenreip, sister of the we'll
known farmers, f. and H. Nedden-
reip. Mr.. Heise was one of the first
farmers who realized that system of
marketing was as essential to the sue
ing of crops. and the Douglas County
creamery came into existence. While
it is true that creamery was estab-
lished here prior to this, it was own
ed by outside capital and the farmers
were forced to accept whatever price
they elected to paw for butter-fat with
the price was never consistent with
them arket price of butter. Then
with other farmers, the matter of q
cooperative creamery was thoroughly
discussed resulting in the organiza-
tion of the Douglas creamery COM
pany, owned and operated by the
farmers. F. Heise became treasurer
of the concern, this in 1903 and helt
that position during the entire life o
the company. In this venture, as vel
as others. Mr.. Heise's advise and con
sultation was always sought on mat
ters of importance. he being of keer
business judgment and a shrewe
fnancier.
When the Farmers Bank of Car
son Valley was established at Minden
some years ago, he was elected as
one of the directors and at the time
of his death was pI resident of that
institution Much of the success o
this we'll known bank has been due
to the guiding hand of f. Heise. HI

In the short time of six years. He
was also president of the Farmers
Cooperative Mercantile company of
Minden and was closely related in
many other business enterprises that
have helped make Carson Valley what
it is today, and made possible the
prosperity that has followed through
well organized and well managed
establishments that have made profit
able marketing of farm products
possible. Besides his business inter-
ests, his land holding were large,
probably larger than any other man
in Carson Valley. whose achievement
and success came through his own
endeayors. His name is written
deeply in the business and agrieui-
tural history of Douglas county and
he has left name behind him that
will be remembered and honored far
into the future. He also represented
this county in the assembly some
quarter of century ago. He was a
devout member and was one of the
organizers of the Gardnervile Luth-
eran Church and for twenty years
held the secretaryship of this church.
He was loving and considerate
husband, devoted father, and one of
the best citizens that ever lived in
Douglas county.
He is survived by wife and eight
children, four sons, Henry, Otto, Fred

to everyone" Democracy has no place
here. Such traits are too often the
quintessence of snobbishness, or at
best, are but a thin veneering of
selfish or egotistical disposition.
Then what is student democi acy?
1t is the oneness of the student body.
The student body of the University OF
Missouri applauds the success of one
of its members just as heartily If ne
is the poorest instead of the richest
of it's members. An unworthy act OF
its richest member is as quickly con-
demned as it would be if committed
by its poorest member.
Why then do not all classes of stu
dents mingle freely socially? Why
are not non-fraternity and non-soror-
ity students more intimate with fra
ternity and sorority students? Sim
ply because the social interest of the
two classes of students are incom-
patible. A college president does not
pick out a brick mason for his init
mate friend because he feels himself
innately superior to the brick mason,
but because his interests differ from
those of the brick mason. II the ma
son really needed help, the college
president would be one of the first to
come to his assistance. And this is
true democracy.
So when we think of student de-
mocracy, let us not think of mere So
cial veneer, but of the inborn, kin
dred spirit that lies in each students
heart ready to come to the assistance
of his fellow student, and we shall find
plenty Of true democracy among the
students of the University of Missouri.

PRISON REFORM.

Three Missouri Legislatures have
tried to abolish the contract system at
the state penitentiary, and each end
ed in renewing the leases of the con-
victs to private contractors.
The present Legislature. however,
after a deadlock of four weeks has
marked the passing of the system. At
first the senate stood in body against
the renewal of leases, and the House
was inclined toward renewing the
contracts with only a slight step to-
ward abolition. In the last days of
the session the two houses agreed
upon a plan by which contracts are to
be renewed for only half of the able
bodied men until the meeting of the
next Legislature, and made an appro-
priation for the establishment of in
dustries for the employment of the
other prisoners.
1t is gratifying to see that all fac
tions in the Legislature have at last
come together in material step to-
ward the abolition of this old and
costly prison method. That the sys-
tenn has resulted in many inhumani-
ties and has had tendency to de-
moraIize trade, there is little doubt.
Productive labor, perhaps work in
which the prisoner and his children
may in time come to share some of
the profits, will be vastly more encour-
aging and beneficial to the individual.
Then, too, prison industries will stop
the annual cost bill and provide the
revenue for the maintenance of the
prison. All the profits and benefits
of the labor of prisoners will be at
the disposal of the state, instead of
divided with contractors At last a
system that is of benefit chiefly to
private contractors is passing, to
make way for one which considers
primarily the state and the prisoner,
something of a more modern point
of view in prison methods.
