Lewis H. Beason
Editor of Journal

Lewis f. Beason, formerly editor of
the Record and latterly connected with
the Los Angeles Times, has accepted
vada State Journal, the leading daily
morning paper published at Reno, and
he Isl again in the harness pulling for
the welfare of Nevada.
Mrs. Beason Will remain in Los An
geles until their son Lewis finishes the
term at the Harvard military school,
when they will go to Reno and make
their home.
Mr. Beason is thoroughly conversant
with the resources needs and aims
of southern Nevada and has been doing
them justice in the columns of the
Journal. On account of the geographic
situation the people Of northern and
southern Nevada are distanced farther
apart than extreme sections in other
more fortunately situated states and
the news of Mr., Beason's appointment
to such position on the influential
Journal is good news to the southern
people, who feel that they have "a
friend in court" While in Phoebe he
did much for the welfare of the com
munity. Active in his business he yet
found time to join in the social life and
he made wide circle of friends. Fear
| less to the point of imprudence he car
| ried on his newspaper work. and in the
course of this work he was sent by the
community to the state legislature

which will now be renewed. The resi-
dents of southern Nevada who were in
formed of Mr.. Beason's new position
expressed their pleasure at the forta
nate turn of events which brought hin
| back to the state.

than the sea breezes," he wrote to- %;

Deal On for Vast
Mineral Acreage

A prominent mining man informs
representative of the Record that a
mining deal is now being concluded by
local operators which will result in the
development of more than 200 acres of
mineral land located in the Phoebe min :
ing district.
While the facts are not available for
publication until the negotiations are
entirely concluded. which necessitates
a trip to Salt Lake by one of the par
ties interested, yet he felt 1t quite safe
to say that work would be started upon
the property by the first of July. 1t

Locusts Infesting
Lincoln County

The dreaded seventeen-year locusts
are making their appearance in Lin
coin county and fear for the range is
already being felt.
Not much Is known regarding these
curious insects that live in the ground
the seagulls saving the crops of the
early Utah settlers in 1851 comes In :
stantly to mind, and this year of 1919
marks the fourth plague since that
time The next is due in 1885.
Up to this time no particular damage
has been reported and the coming of
these insects, with their everlasting
clicking, clicking, has aroused more
curiosity than fear; but the size, which
is relatively enormous, gives food for
thought in computing the possible
damage that might result from a mul-
tiplication Of their numbers.

his injuries and made several trips in
