Wireless Is Used To
Talk Between Farms

Major L. l.. Ormsby, one of the
most progressive sheepmen of the
West, has electrified his neighbors in
central Wyoming by installing a
wireless outfit as the means of tele-
graphic communication between his
ranches at Caspar and Ross.
The outfit consists of two 70 foot
poles with cross arms on each one,
with six little copper wires from one
cross arm to the other. A lead wire
runs down to connection with the
instruments, which consists of a tele-
graph key, tuner. condenser and
transformer and ear drums similar
to those worn by telephone opera
tors.
This outfit. which will carry about
rs miles and receive from all over
the United States, costs about 5000.
For $75 more an outfit can be secured
that will send as far as Denver.

Maids Want To Marry

We are in receipt of a letter from
Hon. Frank Winter of Jarbidge,
which says that the Bachelors club
of that place is literally swamped
with letters from matrimonially in
clined maids and maidens in various
parts of the United States and Can
ada, says the Elko Independent.
The club sent out letter for publ
cation several weeks ago in which
marriageable ladies were invited to
correspond. Letters and photos
have been pouring in ever since, and
the secretary is completely swamped.
And that is only half the story. A
number of weddings have been ar
ranged by correspondence. and sew
eral brides-to-be are now on their
way to the camp. 1t is said that a
number of the more anxious ones
have started without waiting to be
chosen, and some rather interesting
situations are promised.

Minister Accidentally Takes Poison

Mistaking lysol for cascara the
Rev. Shoemaker swallowed a tea
spoonful upon his return home from
his meeting Tuesday night, says the
Yerington Times. He was suffering
from a slight attack Of indigestion
and intending to take dose of cas-
cara for relief, got hold of the bottle
of lysol by mistake and poured out
a teaspoonful. As he was not accus-
toned to taking medicine he closed
his eyes and held his nose and swal-
lowed the poisonous lysol before he
realized what he was doing. The
liquid had no sooner cleared his
throat until he realized his predica-
ment. First aid saved his life.

NEVADA

A great old State is Nevada. Just
when Austria was considering the
proposition to demonetize gold-it
was becoming so plentiful-Nevada
made known the fact that she had
the biggest silver mine in the world.
But it was not all silver, "A per cent
of its value was gold.
Then when the interest-gatherers
became alarmed lest men would pay
their debts and there would be no
chance to loan any more money-as
though that time could ever come
and schemed until they persuaded
the poor devils who vote, that half
the money in the world had better be
destroyed as money; it gave Nevada
a temporary black eye. But little
later lead was needed and Nevada as
usual supplied much more lead than
her full quota amounted to.
Next copper was wanted and Ne
vada promptly responded during all
the days when the thieves-about
1898-ran it up to % cents. and
cleared 500, 900. 900. then jumped
upon it and broke it down to 10 cents
and cleared another $1O0, 900. 900.
The next great demand was for
gold and in three years Nevada sup
piled the world with more gold than
either the Rand, West Australia, or
Cripple Creek all at the same time.
When the present great war came
on. the first cry was for antimony and
Nevada promptly responded. sending
out more than any other State.
The next cry was for copper and if
it keeps up for two more years, Ari-
zona. Utah and Montana will have to
look out or Nevada will rank with
either of them.
The writer was talking yesterday
with a scientist, who is moreover a
severely practical man, and he ex-
pressed the belief that it was prob
able in the coming year and half
for Nevada to be producing more
tungsten-the most valuable of met
als-than all the outside world COM
bined.
What more treasure chambers Ne
vada has still to open cannot yet be
imagined. but if a demand for some
thing new is made. we suspect she
will find way to produce it. She cer-
tainly has been equal to the demand
for Sc years past.
Her treasurers have made leaven
which has been one of the chief fac
tors in the forward march of the
business and financial world, and had
not the shortsighted knaves and fools
demonetized silver, our country
would not only be far better off but
would now be dominating the Paci-
fic and the Orientaltrade. -Goodwin's
Weekly.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Take UniUersity Out OF Politics

lake OnfUersRy Out Of routes
Tonopan Bonanza: The University
of Nevada has for many years taken
too prominent a part in the politics
of the State. At one time it welded
its influence for powerful foreign
corporation, and at all times it was a
persistent lobbyist and a dictator.
In fact it was perfect Warwick in
Nevada politics.
While no one denies the right of
any citizen or group of citizens to
possess political beliefs and exercise
political prerogatives, the Bonanza
does not approve of them welding a
power and influence that should be
devoted along the lines for which
they were primarily constituted.
The University of Nevada is not a
political machine. 1t is an educa-
tional institution and it is to be hoped
that in the present and in all other
campaigns to come. the directing in
fluences of the school will be devoted
to the work for which they were
chosen and let the brunt of the poll
tical burden fall upon the shoulders
of those who have sufficient time to
spare to perform this duty.

Increased State Valuations

Nevada is making an effort to place
its taxation system on the full cash
valuation plan as is in operation in
Utah. according to L. F. Adamson.
State auditor and tax commissioner.
Starting with 1912, Mr.. Adamson
says the assessed valuation was then
S101 900. 900; in 1913. $l13. SOC, 900;
in 1914. $135, 900, 900; in 1915. $751;
600, 900; in 1916. $l73, 3,0O0,0 900, which
is about so per cent of full cash val
uation. In 1917 it is expected that
these figures will reach 5000. 900, 900.
or 80 per cent and in 1918 will reach
1920, 900, 900 or full cash valuation,
aside from any natural increase
which may be expected and will be
added.
Nevada is dividing its taxes in the
following manner, says Mr.. Adam
son: Education, % per cent; State
administration, II per cent; county
administration, AZ per cent. and
roads and bridges. per cent. The
remaining margin goes miscellan-
eously and to take up interest on
bonds, etc.

Parents-Teachers Meeting.

The Parent Teacher association
met in the schoolhouse Monday af-
ternoon. Preceding the first business
meeting of the present session. an
informal reception had been given
by the association to the faculty of
the school. many of whom are here
for the first time. A few musical Sc
lections, including a piano solo and
two songs by the new music teacher,
Miss Barbee of Missouri, added to
the pleasure of the occasion. Fruit
punch and tea cakes were served.
The first regular meeting was pre-
sided over by the president, Mrs P 0
Arrowsmith. The programme was in
charge of the teachers and was open
ed by vocal solo by Miss Barbee.
Miss Dunbar read an interesting
article by Prof Hand, after which
the business of the afternoon was
taken up. A committee was ap-
pointed to interview the doctors in
order to start medical inspection at
once. the consent of nearly all par
ents having been given last year. A
committee was also appointed to ask
the trustees for funds to put up
swings and see.saws for the younger
children on the grounds and to peti-
ton them to take down the spiked
iron fence so dangerous to climbing
youngsters and put up low coping
instead.
Miss Elizabeth Heape was elected
to fill the vacancy of secretary. the
position having been formerly held
by a member of the faculty who did
not return this year.

In the Championship series OF
games now being played between
the Brooklyn National and the Bos-
ton American baseball teams, the
latter club has already won three Of
four games played, and it is highly
probable that this team will capture
one out of the three games yet to
be played. Seven games are sche-
duled to be played and to the team
winning four of the seven games be-
longs the championship title besides
handsome sum of money that will
be divided among the players. If
the Boston team should win today's
game the series will be at an end.

FINGER LONGER LUCY.
Clifford's Show Worth the Mon
ey--At Opera House Tonight.

Billie (Single) Clifford comes to
South Carolina every year and he al
ways blows into Columbia for a Sat
urday night. This year his vehicle
was called "Linger Longer Lucy.
Billie Clifford presented familiar
faces. and ones that the audience
were glad to see, when the Weston
sisters. Mae Ginger Collins and Nick
Glynn were included in the cast.
Clifford doesn't claim to have the
best show in the world nor does he
claim it to be any great. stupendous
production. But Clifford does claim
that he presents varied and pleas
ing something extra
for the prices of admission. Linger
Longer Lucy" was worth the money.
Nick Glynn, who has pleased Co.
lumbia audiences before, pleased
again. He is one of the cleverest
blackface comedians on the stage to-
day. The Weston sisters presented
an attractive and versatile pro-
gramme, repeating former successes
in Columbia, and Mae Ginger Collins
was her same self, distinctly Mae.
She was especially good in her sing
ing of I've Got q Sweet Tooth. The
audience would have liked to have
seen her do the Harry Lauder stunt
she did here a year ago. Billie Cliff
ford renewed old acquaintances and
strenethened old ties, and Columbia
will welcome him and his company
again next year.-The State.

A UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
Mock Marriage Performed at
Court House Tuesday Night.

Williamsburg's venerable temple
of justice was thronged Tuesday
evening, but the traditional solemni-
ty that pervades a courtroom was
noticeably absent. The occasion was
the wedding" of Mr. w T Wilkins
ard DR. R Claude McCabe, and all
the actors were of the sterner sex.
After the entrance of the members
of the family, Mr. w H Carr sang
a bright original parody on 90,
Promise Me-. Miss Mabel Harper
rendered the wedding march, Mr.
David Silverman accompanying on
the violin. The wedding party then
entered, each appearance being the
signal for shouts of laughter and
thunders of applause. When the
happy couple appeared before the
officiating minister, Rev j j B
Montgomery. that gentleman began
the baptismal Office, under the i'm
preston that the groom was the
brides son. The best man. Mr. L G
Dove, had great difficulty in con-
vincing him that the occasion was a
wedding, not a baptism.
The minister. with a mercenary
spirit unworthy of his cloth, de-
manded his fee of 81 in advance.
The hapless groom had but 81 and
protested, That's all it's worth, !"
but the minister was unyielding.
However, the bride came to the res
cue with the other dollar and the
ceremony was performed in Mr.
Montgomery's inimitably droll style.
When the challenge was given to
those having objections. Mr. M L
Allen, sister" Of the groom, OBJ
jected on the ground that she. being
the elder, should be married first,
but he haughtily repulsed her, and
she retired, weeping bitterly. The
ceremony was then concluded and
congratulations extended.
Following are the names OF those
participating, given in the order of
their entrance:
