c. E. Walters, formerly of
Yerington, Volunteers

Mrs. Will. Reymers was delighted
by visit with her brother, c. E
Walters during the past week. She
had not seen him for about fourteen
years and she was very glad to wei
come him to his old home. He stayed
only short time as he has volunteer
ed for the army and was obliged to be
in San Francisco at a certain time. He
hopes to be accepted for the marines
or the aero squadron and to have a
chance to go to the front.
Mr.. Walters lived here when a child
leaving when he was about fifteen for
the east He was very anxious to re-
new old friendships but Uncle Sans
men must keep up with their schedule
and he went to San Francisco to re-
port and be assigned to his branch of
the service.
Mrs Reyiners is very proud of this
patriotic brother who is willing to
give all to his country and both are to
be congratulated for their stand in
these trying times.

Change of Pastors at Yerington.

Owing to the joining of the Nevada
Mission to the California Conferences
Mr.. Rogers, the incumbent here for
the past year has been sent to Las
Vegas for the ensuing year and the
pulpit of the local church will be sup
piled later. The Encouragement puts
the southern part of Nevada into the
Southern California Conference an'
the rest of the state into the 'Narthern
California Conference. After this was
settled it became necessary that each
minister should work in his own coz
ference or lose important vestef
rights and Mr.. Rogers being a mem
Der of the Southern California Con-
ference, found it forced upon him togo
into that jurisdiction. 1t is neither by
his own initiative or that Of the Bish-
op who has promised to send good
man to Yerington.
Both the Or. and Mrs Rogers ex
press themselves as having enjov'
the year in Yerington and the people
are sorry to Sc. them leave. They
have made many friends who extend
the best of wishes for their success in
the new field

.YER|NGTON CITY
COUNCIL MEETING

The City Council met in the ad-
journed meeting of the week before,
in the City Temple of Justice on Mon
day night. The purpose of the meet
ing was to consider two ordinances,
one for the increase of city licenses
and the other for the control of the
saloons. There were present quite
a large number of those interested.
After some discussion the forst was
read according to law and filled
AS the second provides for the clos
ing of saloons at 200 o'clock a. m.
until 500 o'clock a. m.
The matter was gone into at some
length by different members of the
council, and Attorney Warren Hauser.
Mr.. Hauser advocated an increasing
of license for those saloons who wish
ed to keep open all night, and argued
very forcibly that to close the saloons
would throw a certain class of all
night frequenters of those places up
on the streets without place to stay
and thereby increase the probability
of crime.
This same position was taken by a
number of others present.
At the conclusion of the discussion
the ordinance was read and now
awaits further action on the part of
the council at their next meeting.
The members of the council seem
willing to do what a majority of the
people want, and seem to be trying
to give all parties interested square
deal
On Tuesday morning Chief ofPolice
Holland resigned and that Office is
now held ty w. Fl. Lamkin.

JUSTICE COURT

On Friday afternoon Arthur Frank
lin was given preliminary hearing
on the charge of swindling Mike Ra-
kovich out of $475 at Wabuska last
Saturday. Franklin was arrested at
Reno as a suspect in the Hot Spring
affair. 1t seems that, by confederate
of Franklin who is still at large Ra-
kovich was induced to go into some
sort of betting game with cards
The confederate said, "How much
money have you? Put it all on the
table" This was done when Frank
lin said, "You lose, raked in the cash
and the game was over. He and ms
partner than came to Yerington and
later went to Reno. 1t seems that a
bunch, one of whonH owned an auto
has been working out of Reno for
some time, engaged in all sorts OF
rascality.

Mason Valley Prosperous.

A visit around the valley reveals a
prosperous condition among the farm
ers. The hay crop has been very
good one and in many cases the third
crop is now being harvested, and a
price ranging around $1,000 per ton
in the stack is being offered The
potato crop is good with fair prices
in view. The frost has held off and
the gardens have yielded better than
for many years, especially tomatoes
and together with the abundance OF
fruit from the family orchards in the
valley, the house wife is at her busy
season, canning and preserving fruits
and vegetables for the winter.

Our attention has been called to the
lack of any sign showing that the old
road leading from the slaughter house
north to the lower end of the valley is
closed to travel. H. Kruger while
canvassing his trade in this section

out until Mr.. Kruger unhitched il
from the buggy He was delayed
there over an hour and was wet to
the skin before he was able to go on
his way.
