AN AMERICAN FARMER
AND THE POTATO

1t is fitting that few words be
written to try and impress, upon
the minds OF the people of Mason
Valley the Importance OF the
words of advice offered by Eugene
H. Brubb on the evening Of March
9Th In order that you might bet
ter appreciate, his words You
should have an idessof the great
ness Of the man himself. Mr.
Eugene II. Grub possesses one OF
those wonderful personalities that
hold, and impress upon his hear
ers the wisdom of his words, BY
nature he is a student, a studen;
in every sense OF the word; while
he specializes on the potato, Mr.
Grub is one of the few men VINO

Senator Pittman is, according
to his judgment, trying to do what
he considers best for his State
While we do not look upon this
100000 acre land grant to the
University from the same view
point as Senator Pittman, yet we
will concede that the Senator is
ambitious. He is trying to dc
what he considers his duty, ant
that is a great deal more than
most politicians ever do. We wish
to call our readers attention to
the fact that Senator Pittman, be-
fore the Senate. stated there were
only about 100000 acres of
possible irrigable land in this
State OF this amount it is his
intention to give half to the State,
to be sold at public auction to the
highest bidder, for the benefit of
the State University and the pu-
bile schools. According to the
last census there were 81 ,875
people in the State of Nevada. If
you sell this land to the highest
bidder who will buy it? Will It
be- the poor man? Will it be the
colonist? Will we increase our
population through the migrating
of farmers from other States? No
The only men who can afford to
buy this land is the rich man, the
big cattle and sheep man, as all it
is good for under its present con-
dition, according to the Senator's
statement, is grazing land. There
is not a man in this State but will
agree, that it is impossible to dry
farm this land as it is. Senator
Pittman spoke of subterranean
source of water supply through
artesian wells. The homesteader,

So far as we know, the disease
called rabies, has not entered this
section of the State. Why wait
until it does before you take meas,
ures to combat it? An ounce of
prevention is worth more than \
pound of cure. The Commission
ers have taken measures to unite
with other counties to fight it
How about the local City Coun-
Gil? There are snarling, fighting
dogs running through the streets
of Yerington every day. Is it

MAKES BIG GIFT TO THE
 UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA

RAY. Aug. 2S - An interesting voucher passed through the general offices of the Ray Consolidated Copper Company the first of the week, inter esting for the fact that il was a gift to the sate. In amount il was s14,457 and it was sent sent to the officials of the University of Arizona at Tucson as the proportion of the Ray Consoli- dated Copper company's payment for erection of a building for the College of Mines. a part of the state university. Altogether there was contributed s100,- V00 by the mining companies of the state. those contributing being the Copper Queen, the Detroit Copper Mining Company. old Dominion, h. spiration, Calumet & Arizona and the Miami company.
 Some months ago when the state legislature was considering an appro- priation for this building. it was deemed advisable by the state solons to limit the appropriation to one-half the cost of the building. It was at this point that the mining companies came forth with the prODOsaI that they would contribute s1O0,O00, and the payment made this week by the Ray company was their proportion toward the keeping of the promise made some months ago. The building will be oompleted, it is said, during the pres snt year.

A DANGEROUS FAMILY

On the morning train today there arrived in Tombstone Mexican fami. ly, mother and four little children, the oldest not over years of age. and who had, from casual observance a bad case of dreaded trachoma, a disease of the eyes that is of the most dangerous and contagious variety. The family upon being questioned stat. ed they came here from Tairbank for a visit of day. and that they resided in Fairbank. This is a case for the immigration officials. and should be looked into, before that awful disease is sIread among the children of not 1n'y Fairbank. but any which might cone in contact with them.
