"REMINISCENCES

ors to the city this week was Hon.
| II. j. Drane, of Lakeland, that
citys oldest inhabitant," although
Lakeland is SO comparatively young
that he does not have to attain any
great age to boast that title Mr..
Drane has been dropping into
Auburndale for thirty years or so,
and consequently is as well known
here as one of our own citizens. In
a conversation with the News man
Tuesday he gave some most interest

here in January, 1884, just 80 years
ago, when l was only 20 years of
age" said Mr.. Drane. AT that time
the first house had not been built,
and the whole country was virgin
forest. thought at the time that
it was the prettiest country | had
ever seen, and think so yet.
'Auburndale is about one month
older than Lakeland. At that time

to a place called Wire Lake and es-
tabhshed another camp for the rail
road, and there have remained
ever since. because it looked good to
me and still does 1t is now called
Lakeland, and | am regarded as the
Oldest inhabitant."
With an apparently even start,
and Auburndale month ahead
Lakeland has outstripped this city
many times. This. as Mr.. Drane
pointed out, is chiefly because at that
time it was known another railroad
would be built north and south
through that place, from Savannah
to Barlow. 1t was built, and now
extends to Ft. Myers. Thus it was
accident. of railroad location that
keeps Auburndale from being the
largest inland city in Florida today
Mr.. Drane spoke Interestingly of
some personal "reminiscences of those
days 81 was contractor for cross
ties he said, "and young Mr.. Gil

West Point, and was five years older
than I, was the engineer in charge of

sight for both of us. We have not
always agreed in our politics, but
are the best of friends personally"
A most amusing incident occurred
when gentleman met Mr. Drane
on the street before the News office
and shook hands heartily, calling
him by name. "Why, your face is
like dream to mo. for | have surely
seen 1t long ago, but | cannot recall
your name,' said Mr.. Drane. The
gentleman laughed and proceeded to
enlighten him.

JUDGE QUICKER WILL BE CAN
DIDATE FOR SUPREME JUDGE

Judge Edward A. Ducker of Win
nemucca will seek the nomination
for Juctice of the Supreme Court
at the next Democratic State Con-
vention. Judge Ducker authorized
the Winnemucca Star to make this
announcement last week He stated
that he had recently formed this
resolution after considering the
wishes of many friends from this
county and letters from a number
in other parts of the State.
Commenting on Judge Ducker's
candidacy, the Star says:
Judge Ducker has stood the acid
test of long public service. and as a
result enjoys the confidence of the
people of this State as a just and
able Judge.
His experience in the legal pro-
fession and on the District bench is
the highest possible recommends
tion for his candidacy both before
the convention and in the election.
His promotion TO a place on the
highest tribuanl in the State would
be but deserved recognition of able,
conscientious public service in the
past.

DECISION MAY MEAN
TAKING Up OF LAND

Attorney General Thatcher is of
the opinion that the recent Supreme
court decision giving states the
right to condemn the water sites un-
der the right of eminent domain
will result in great good to Nevada
and other western States, provided
the gist of the decision as contained
in press reports is correct.
The attorney general says that
the federal government not only has
insited ON the right to withhold the
land from entry but of late has
claimed the right to the water TN
der the decision of the Supreme
court the attorney general believes
this contention of the government
will be knocked out.

DAMAGE TO AUTOMOBILE
SOMEWHAT EXAGGERATED

Maurice Vannoy returned to Fal-
Ion yesterday from California, where
he has been for the past few months.
He states that the report which had
reached here of the burning of his
automobile were somewhat exagger-
ated. He was taking a party OF
friends to the pier when he ran in
to a post and bent his front axle.
He left tho machine 10 secure as
sistanee in towing 1t TO a garage
and when he returned shortly after
ward he discovered that during his
absence the car had been looted of
all detachable fixtures including the
batteries and an extra tire. The
thieves evidently desired TO cover up
their work and had opened the gaso-
line tank allowing the gas to run
out and fired the car However the
damage was confined to the burn
ing of the upholstery from the two
front seats.

FALLON YOUNG WOMAN
MAY BE seen IN MOVIES

The Standard is in receipt of a
letter from the Photoplay Magazine
published in Chicago, announcing
that Miss Frances Mayfield of this
city has been entered in the Beau
ty and Brains" contest now being
conducted by that publication.
The proposition is to send eleven
young women to the World Film
Corporation Studios at Fort Lee,
New Jersey, across the river from
New York City. where they will be
given a thorough tryout as film ac-
tresses. All of their expenses will
be paid on this trip and If they
show any talent will be given con-
tracts for a period of not less than
year at regular salaries paid to
stars in the profession.
No effort will be spared to make
film stars of these young women.
Miss Lillian Russell and William
A. Brady are among the judges of
the contest. Their experience and
alone assures contest
ants of every possible consideration
based solely upon ability.
Miss Mayfield's many friends in
Fallon will be pleased to learn of
her ambitious plans and will wish
her every success. She is young
lady of pleasing appearance and per-
sonality and possessed of histronic
talent of no mean order as has been
demonstrated in amateur
performances in which she has TAX
en- part that would warrant the pre-
diction that she would develop, with
training and experience, into star
in the field of the silent drama.

BOB FALLON FOUND
DEAD IN BED AT ELKO

Robert Fallon, well known
throughout Utah and Nevada, was
found dead in his bed at the Riley
rooming house about 2:30 this af-
ternoon. He was seemingly in good
health last night when he retired,
but early this morning other room
ers heard him calling and groaning
No attention was paid to him, for
he frequently had nightmares.
The deceased had been in Elko
several months and was a familiar
figure around the hotels. He was
about so years of age.
There is no doubt that death was
due to heart failure. His passing
was evidently very peaceful. as his
bed was not in the least disturbed

PITTMAN BILL PASSES
DESPITE OPPOSITION
Seven Million Acres of Land For
Benefit of Schools and
University

Senator Pittman's bill granting
seven million acres of Nevada for
the benefit of public school and the
university, passed the senate after
a bitter intermittent fight of several
days. The debate became general
and involved the whole subject of
western land legislation. Senator
Smoot of Utah was most persistent
in his opposition, contending that
the grant was too large, the mini
mum price too small and the condi-
tions of the bill too liberal, that
Nevada was being more generously
treated than the other States.
Senator Poindexter urged an
amendment cutting the grant down
to three million acres. The amend
ment was lost. He then offered an
amendment reducing the grant to
four millions. The amendment was
lost. Senator Lafollette urged most
intensely his amendment to prohibit
the sale of the State of any land
for twenty-five years. This amend
ment was lost after an impassioned
attack by Senator Pittman and a
convincing argument by Senator
Newlands.
Senator Lafollete then offered
an amendment fixing the minimum
price at three dollars per acre.
Senator Pittman answered this
by calling attention to a provision
for appraisement by State board
and urged that the people of the
State know more of the value of the
land thao the Senator from Wiscon-
sin or Utah and that no one dare
question their integrity.
