The work of removing the
poles from Bayfield, street to the

poles will have to be raised and
a mile and a half of cable will
have to be be strung and this
will all be connected up so that

AS soon as the new wires have
been strung and connections
made the wire on the old poles

the larger cities Mr.. Segal has
this week closed a deal whereby
his store will have a resident
buyer in New York City who
will keep the Washburn store
supplied with all the latest
creations in cloaks. suits and
novelties.
Mr.. Joseph Herzberg of the
j. A. Herzberg Purchasing
company, one Of the best buyers
in New York City, who buys
only for the largest stores of
the country, will hereafter look
after the wants of the Washburn
store, and thesame classy cloaks,
suits and novelties purchased
by the biggest stores of the
country will be had by the local

JOE LYNCH DROPS DEAD
While Milking Cow Last Satur-
day, Fell from Stool andfihffffi
day Evening, Fell from
Stool and Died

Joseph Lynch, who for many
years resided in Smith Valley,
dropped dead while milking a COW
last Saturday. Mr.. Lynch's death
was shock to his many friends,
as he seemed in fair health, only
a few days previous to his death,
having visited the county seat.
Mr.. Lynch spnet his early life in
Carson Valley. His mother died
while he was still a mere child,
and what training he received in
his youth he owed to his father,
who was very short of money at
the time and was unable to send
him to school. His ambition for
an education was SO strong that it
led him to saving money, which
sufficed, at the age of 20, in giving
him several years at the academy
at Carson. He was somewhat wild
in his younger days, according to
what we would consider wild in
young man to-day, but at that
time when shooting, and the like,
were considered as merely a di-
version, his friends considerer him
a very mild young man. As in the
life OF most men, there stands
forth an act of his, that many old
residents will remember, and will
describe wildly his character, and
the good will he bore to his fellow
men. While still a young man,
he was shot in the abdomen by a
man called Tex. Though badly
wounded, he took the gun from
his assailant, telling him, though
he had him at his mercy and could
kill him he would let him go. The
doctors held little hope for his re-
covery at the time, but he pulled
through, and later married and set
lied down to farming in Smith
Valley, following the ranch life
till he died. He is survived by his
wife and step-children.

Government Furnishes Seed

By parcel post, a large assort-
ment of tested seed have been sent
to tn Times, by our representative
in Congress. To be distributed
for the purpose of helping to get
the best products. The depart
ment of Agriculture has spent
millions OF dollars in propagating
these seeds and if they are used
intelligently they produce the best
results. 1t is not the intention of
the department to generally fur
nish seed to any person or class
of persons. Its object is to give
the person who gets these seeds
to raise small quantities and thus
learn to determine the best kind
of seed to get or raise. When one
gets sample from the govern
ment in this manner it is not in
tended to help him get the seed
merely for the one season, but 10
help il he is interested in agricul-
ture or horticulture to improve
his product. For this purpose
alone. these seed will be distribut-
ed free of cost to any on who will
call at this offic.
