399 Cars w. Ions Out

The A. r. T. company reported 396
car loads of melons as having been
shipped up to yesterday. This with
thre cars by express makes a total of
800 car loads.
The Pink Meats will be all in by
about Wednesday of next week, and
the growers and shippers are con-
sidering some of sh,itting off on the
honey dew shipments Saturday.
They plan to hold the balance in stor-
age for better market. The wealth
er conditions and the prevailing mar
ket will govern this, however.
S. A. Gerard e Co. have shipped
PIG car loads of cantaloupes. this
amount being up to Wednesday even
ing of this week. Their shipments
will be materially cut down on ac-
count of the hail storm of Sunday
which damaged some of the melons.
On the Thos. Fountain farm north
of town the Honey Dew melons were
left laying on the ground with the
vines riddled until the field, as shown
in a view taken Monday, shows a mass
of white melons with no vines to nur-
ture them.

country where this great medicine
has been introduced, it has done
magic wonders towards the rellef OF
suffering humanity and made one OF
the greatest sellers, in the short time,
of anything yet discovered by any OF
the medical profession. According
to the statements of thousands OF
people, both local and foreign VINO
have tried this wonderful discovery
it must be indeed God-send to SUI
fering humanity, as some OF the peo-
ple have been cured of such long
standing cases of Rheumatism, Tx
zema, Indigestion, Chronic Malaria
Nervousness, etc. AS this remedy
treats only the blood and organs OF
the stomach and is merely a vegetable
compound blended perfectly so as TO
render it a constitutional treatment.
It has stood the tests of both govern
ment experts and the world renowned
w. H. Morse, authority on Research
of Chemistry, and is endorsed by
both as being a great tonic, possess
ing therapeutic value of twelve great
blood purifiers provided by nature.

COLUMBIAN SUNK.
More Details of American Vessels
Destruction.

Paris, Nov. IA wireless dis
patch from Madrid says that it was
a German submarine which sank the
American steamship Columbian.
According to this information the
Columbian encountered the subma-
rine on November during a violent
tempest. The submarine compelled
the Columbian to interrupt her voy-
age and lie under surveillance un-
til November s. When the storm
subsidized, the dispatch says, the sub
marine ordered the crew to abandon
the ship and then sank her.
A Havas dispatch from Madrid
quotes the newspapers of Corunna,
Spain, where the crew is reported to
have landed, to the effect that when
the Columbian was held up the sub
marine ordered the crew to disem-
bark but that the storm was so severe
that this was impossible until two
days later.
The dispatch says that the Nor
wegian steamships BALTIC and Forda-
len were destroyed in the same man
ner on November 9. CA report OF the
sinking of these steamships was re-
ceiyed from London last night.)

UndertOae OF German Note Gives
Impression That America Offices
Will Be Sought In That Connec-
tion--Also Indicated by Gerard's
Conference With Kaiser
LBy Unit d Press

WASHINGTON. May 6.-The Of
fetal text of the German reply has
been received and is practically idenr
teal with the press versions. Presi-
dent Wilson is now formulating his
decision. It is believed it is a fore
gone conclusion that tie danger OF
an immediate break is past and the
submarine issue is closed. This con-
clusior has the approval OF congress,
cabinet and other presidential advs-
ors. Germany may be said to be
again on probathcn. With the presi
dents decision the Lusitania case
ends. Officials have guardedly ind
Gated THAT something may result di-
rectly from Germany's indication that
she is anxious for peace. TIE con-
ference between the kaiser and Ger
ard suddenly grows important and
many believe they discussed peace.
The president for over year has de-
clined to volunteer his services for
peace until some beligerent suggest
ed it. and this, many think, the Ger
man rlote suggests. Much depends
on what Gerard communicated to
Washington regarding his conference
with the kaiser 1t is now believed
that Germany will exercise every care
TO prevent submarines violating the
new regulations.

american isn't taught to do to rea,ize
that this is true. Every Swiss school

reply to- letter under date of April

assume that you have received c,opv
OF his letter to me, as he stated in
his 'etter THAT he intended to publish
! 1T throughout the state. | do not ask
you to take up valuable space in your
papers tor my reply. Of course, you
are at liberty to publish it if you think
| the matter will be of value to your
| readers. doubt, however, if any
paper I'M the state would publish such
am attack on the welfare of the state
by Mr.. Adams, unless it be the Reno
Journal. If that paper publishes it..
! it Wi i undoubtedly leave out the part
that | have copied in my letter and
other portions of Mr.. Adams letter
which show the real motives behind
the attack on the bill. If you consid-
er further discussion pf the subject
OF advantage to your readers, you will
probably treat the matter in your
own way, in which case the publica-
ton OF my letter will be unnecessary.
All OF the supposed arguments IN Mr.
Adams letter have already been ans

tend to obstruct the introduction of
an effective system cf national con-
troll of range lands, thing which is
greatly nesded in this state"
| have already discussed publicly
in every way my views on the bill. I
want tie state to have ALL the land it
can get under the best terms that can
be obtained. You don't want the
state to have. the land at all. Our po-
sitions are therefore irreconci,able |

Eagles Dance a
Distinctive Success

Did you attend the ball given by
the Eagles at Armory hall last night?
TT you did not you missed one OF
the most delightful and pleasurable
affairs the people of Carson have
ever had the opportunity of attend
ing.
The hall was most beautifully dec
grated with electric lights of all
shades and colors. hung in festoons
throughout the entire hall with ever
greens and ferns entwined about
them, and as one entered the hall, a
'arge Eagle. the emblem of the order,
that met ones eyes. 1t was set in a
cluster of electric lights that was SIM
ply beautiful The walls were draped
and covered with small and large
American flags, most artistlcally ar
ranged, and tIha effect of all was fas-
cinating in the extreme.
To- dance under such eNhilarating
conditions, with the soul-stirrin2 2
music o. the Carson band to keep
step and time with, was indeed real
enjoyment The dance music furnish
ed by the band could not be exceiled
anywhere, either in the selection Of
airs, or THE artistic manner in which
they were rendered.
The supper furnished by the Re
beckahs was ALI that could be desired
and was thoroughly enjoyed.
About $50 couple were present and
everybody had good time. The com
mittee of arrangements, consisting OF
H. NJ. Payne, Walter Fisher and n.
J. McGee, is entitled to praise for the
faultless manner in which the affair
was conducted and their work in t''e
decorating of the hall The floor
committee, John Gliding, c. L. Deadly
D. w. Quill, Harry Haines, F. A..
Cushing and Clarence Rosenbrock,
did everything that was possible tor
the comfort and enjoyment OF their
guests. The people of Carson will
always remember the Eagles ball of
last night as one of the great social
events of the year.
