EASTER SERVICES
At THE CHURCHES

Today is Holy Saturday, the last day
of the Lenten season. Sometimes III IS
known as the Great Saturday, the An
gelic Saturday, and the Vigil OF bas-
ter. The former practice of the ehurch
forbade any mass to be celebrated, and
for nearly ten centuries it was the Gus.
tom to postpone the Office and mass oil
the festival to midnight. BY later DIS
cipline these services are now allowed
before noon on Saturday. The eeremo-
nies are of great antiquity, dating back
To the fourth or fifth century of the
Christian era. Blessing Of the new fire
for the lamps and candles used in di.
vine worship was the first ceremony,
followed by the blessing Of the Pas
chal candle, emblem of Christ the Ligh
of the world, and finally blessing of
water and the baptismal font. After
wards the litany of the saints is re-
cited or chanted. In the mass of Holy
Saturday the altar presents joyful
appearance, with beautiful ornaments
and flowers. The vestments are white.
The bells which have been silent since
Holy Thursday morning are again rung
and once more the strains Of organ
music are heard, for the Christ has
risen from the dead.

Easter in the Hearts of Men

"Christ is risenl" The choirs sing
about it. The preachers proclaim it.
The multitudes believe it. Does il seem
strange that because small group Of
sad-eyed, discouraged men and women
almost two thousand years ago sud
denly came to believe that a man they
had loved had returned to life after
being executed on the cross, people
should still believe it today2 Nineteen
centuries is a long time, and Palestine
is far away How is it that the belief
of the first Christians has laid hold
upon us2
1t is not enough to explain it as an
old tradition, handed down from geh-
Grafton to generation. If the expert.
enee of the apostles and the three Ma
rvs and the five hundred brethren 70
whom he made himself known were
the only reason for keeping Easter, il
Is not probable that Easter would still
be kept Faith that is only handed on
does not survive as this faith has sur.
Nlyed. There must be another reason
The other reason Is that there never
mas been an age since the first Chris
tian age until now when there were
not among the people Of the earth

WASHINGTON ALIVE
TO RABIES MENACE

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 22.--
The appropriation by Congress in the
Urgent Deficiency act of $4,000 for
the control Of rabies among coyotes n
the West has enabled the Bureau of
Biological Survey of the u. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, TO put five in
speetors and 1870 hunters n the field,
IL addition to its existing organization.
These men are to serve in Oregon, Ne
vada, California and Idaho, and along
the border in Utah. In addition 20
these measures the Nevada Rabies
commission has signified its intention
of expending large sum of money un-
der recommendation made by the Bio
logical Survey, and il is probable that
other states win do likewise. Stockmen
and ranch owners are cooperating by
furnishing horses and forage free OF
charge The importance of preventing
the spread Of the disease is fully real
lied
The coyote has always been a pest
TO stockmen, but with the advent OF
rabies it has become a serious danger
to persons as well as to stock. In many
sections of Oregon, Idaho and Califoe-
MIA and Nevada, parents are afraid t9
send their children to school unless
they are well guarded, and there is al
ways danger that domestic dogs will
be bitten by the mad animals and
spread the disease TO the families of
their owners. In Oregon and Nevada
over 100 persons have received the
Pasteur treatment for rabies within
the past thre years and stock interests
have suffered severely. In one feed lot
in Winnemueaa, Nevada, a single Gov
ote caused the loss Of % head Of three
year old beef steers.
Although this is regarded as the most
serious, il is not the first outbreak Of
rabies among coyotes in the Western
states In 1911 the disease made its ap-
pearance in Wallowa county, Oregon,
and spread southwark The infestation
still continues. In the spring of 1915
the disease made its first appearance
| in northern Nevada, and at the pres
ent time southwestern Idaho, north
eastern California, and approximately
the northern half of Nevada are in
| tested
The normal coyote is cunning but
eowardly and has a particular aversion
I TO the scent of human being. When
stricken with rabies, however, it does
not hesitate to snap at everything in
reach and TO attack men as we'll as
dogs and cattle. In this condition It
4 does not eat and consequently cannot
be killed by poisoned bats.
| In controlling the disease the Bureau
of Biological Survey purposes first 20
! prevent its spread by killing off the
coyotes along the borders Of the in
4 Tested districts. After this has been
done, the infested areas themselves
can effectually be rid of the animals
and the disease stamped out.

WILL SURVEY HOMESTEADS
WITHIN NATIONAL FORESTS

OGDEN, Utah, April 22.-During the
1916 field season, Just opening, entry,
or final proof, surveys will be made of
l04 homestead claims within the ma
tional forests of the Intermountain
district, by Forest Service surveyors.
Forty-eight of these claims are in Ida
ho; % in Nevada; 81 in Utah, and .
in Wyoming.
The surveys will be handled by two
crews, in charge of r. d. Carver and
f. c. Haman. Work viii start imme-
diately, Mr.. Haman s crew beginning
in Nevada, on the Nevada National
Forest, and Mr.. Carver s beginning in
Idaho ON the Mindoka National For
est. All of this survey work is under
the general supervision of w B. Rice,
of the Ogden office of the Forest SER
vice.
The 104 surveys include all home
stead claims within the forests of this
district, requiring survey to enable the
entrymen to offer final proof prior to
January /, 1918, there being MANY
others on surveyed lands not requiring
special survey. Surveys are made from
a year to year and half in advance,
with view to having all office work
by the Forest service and the General
Land office completed by the time the
claimants are ready to offer final proof
and apply for patent to their lands.
Under the old procedure, when a
homestead entryman, within a Nation
al Forest, wished to secure title to un-
surveyed lands, or to irregular tracts
of surveyed agricultural land, where
metes and bounds survey was neeessa-
ry, he was obliged to have his claim
surveyed at his own expense, by =
surveyor approved by the surveyor
general. Sueh a survey cost the claim
ant anywhere from $3.50 to $500, ac-
cording to the distance which the sur
veyor was forced to travel, time con
sumed, etc.
The act of August 10, 1912, author
lied the Forest service to make these
surveys free of charge for all home
stead claimants within the National
Forests. Since the passage of that act,
approximately 800 such surveys have
been made by the service within dis
trict Four alone, and this season s
work viii bring the number up to over
400.

GROUP OF ACTING
LIONS WITH BARNES

The big, sensational, thrilling num-
Der on the program presented by the
Barnes Wild Animal Circus, is a lion
act, in which twenty-four full-grown,
Jungle bred African lions are assem-
bled
The group represents the very acme
of lion perfection as to size, appear
ance and training. The herd, if placed
on the market, would quickly sell for
$50, 900, the normal price or full
grown male being $4,000. These lions
are unquestionably the finest specimens
in captivity and are also the best train
ed lions known.
The twentyfour man eaters are turn
ed loose at one time in the big steel
barred arena in the center of the tent,
one lone lion trainer in their midst.
Herr Louie Roth is the mana trainer
of lions of international fame, and the
control he exercises over the ferocious
beasts is certainly remarkable.
Crowding his way among them, arm
ed only with small whip, he proceeds
to put the animals through a score of
different poses and pyramids; mounts
one of the largest on high pedestal
and then straddles the snarling ami
NAL IS back; feeds another raw meat
from his naked lips; places his head in
another's mouth; arranges the entire
lot in a great pile on the floor and lies
on the top-most one. The spectacle is
thrilling to an extreme. The act ends
with the lions doing free-for-a all hur-
die race around the arena.
Should anyone attending the show
not care to witness the many thrilling
wild animal acts, they can turn their
attention to the features in which large
troupes of dogs, monkeys, beautiful
horses and ponies and many other do
nestle animals are shown. Beautiful,
prancing high school horses, do the
late popular dances, marches and
poses Arabian and Shetland ponies
assemble in brilliant military drills.
Fifty dogs and monkeys do line of
tricks, acrobatics, high jumping and
diving. Rocky Mountain goats give ex-
hibitions of their dexterous climbing
abilities. Also, one of the most mar
velous acts known to dumb animal
training is the sea lion group, these
animals performing feats never before
shown.
Then there's the laughing section,
comedy aggregation of fifty comedy
elephants, bears, dogs, monkeys, po-
nies, mules, etc. Every phase of train
ed animal entertainment is provided
by the Barnes circus.
A glittering mile-long parade is pre-
sented to the public at 10:30. Per-
formances will be given in Winnemuc-
ca on Friday May 5th.

MAY TEST LEGALITY
OF DAVIS LABOR LAW

G. A. Green, superintendent of the
Sheba mine, near Inlay, is under ar
rest on charge Of violating a state
law making it a misdemeanor for a
person to employ another, representing
that he has money to pay his wages
and then fail to do so after the EN-
ploye has resigned or been discharged.
The warrant was sworn out in JUS
tice Dunn S court Wednesday, the com
planning witness being T. g. Brabazon.
Mr.. Green came to Winnemueca Thurs
day afternoon and was admitted to
bail in the sum of $780, The ease came
up at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning,
District Attorney Powell representing
the State and L. G. Campbell the de-
fendant. Mr. Green pleaded not guilty
and the case was set or trial without a
jury Tuesday April %, at 1:30 p. m.
The law under which the proceedings
were taken was passed by the legisla-
ture Of 1913, having been introduced
~ Assemblyman II. X. Davis, of Win
nemucca There has always been con
siderable skeptieism among employers
as to the legality of the act. but none
have heretofore shown a disposition TO
90 to court. Some two years ago Reno
parties operating a mine at Rochester
were arrested under this law, but the
case was settled before it came to
trial District Attorney Powell ex-
presses himself as certain that the law
win be upheld by the courts of the
state saying that it is similar to the
statute protecting innkeepers, which
has been passed upon as being valid in
numerous instances 1t is considered
probable that the present case viii be
settled before coming to trial.
