|. D. 0. f DID
NOT LAY STONE

Some weeks ago this paper made
mention of cornerstone laying
held at Genoa some fifty years ago BY
the Odd Fellows when lodge was in
stituted at that place. it now seems
that the memory of our informant had
become clouded by the years of tine
elapsing since the cornerstone was
laid. and the memory OF others has
been refreshed. II is now stated for
a fact that the cornerstone was not
laid by the Odd Fellows. but by the
Masons. Out of the past comes the
following facts:
Masonic lodge had been establish
ed at Genoa and the members decided
to build hall. They secured the site
and began the erection of a hall. In
accordance with the customs of
Masonry, corner stone was laid. Be-
for building operations had proceeded
to any great extent trouble arose over
financing the venture and the work
stopped. Later deal was made and
other parties finished the building, but
not for Masonic purposes. A few
years later an Odd Fellows lodge was
instituted at the then fast growing
and prosperous town and they secur-
ed the upper floor Of the building,
the lower floor OF which for years
was known as the Harris store.
In the meantime the Masons had not
given up hope of erecting a building,
and later found themselves In posi-
tion to carry the work to successful
completion. Another site was pur-
chased and stone building erected.
which is still the home OF Douglas
lodge No H. +. & A. NJ.
Learning these circumstances from
old-timers of Genoa. the Odd Fellows
gave mp the idea OF making any search
for the corner stone, supposed to have
been laid by their pioneer brothers.
The cornerstone of the old building
still rests beneath the ruins as the re-
suit of the big fire Of some years ago,
and 1t Is wholly up the Masonic lodge
of Genoa, as to what future disposi-
ton may be made of the stone placed
in the building by their ancient breth-
ern.

/ An ex-soldier. we'll known in this
community as Happy Car was ar

warrant being sworn to by brother
of the young girl. whose name will
not be divulged by this paper, more
that to state that she resides in this
Valley and has the best of family ties.
Car WAS brought in from Wellington
by Sheriff Nielsen and lodged in the

The crime charged against Carr was

GOV. BOYLE ON
PROHIBITION

Governor Boyle, when reminded,
Tuesday, that Wednesday rounds out
years trial of statewide prohibition
In Nevada and asked for an express
sion of his opinion on conditions that
have resulted from theaction of the
voters in banishing liquor, gave out
the following statement, says the
News:
IF a comparison of the number of
persons imprisoned for misdemeanors
and felonies during each of the past
two years may be considered signifi-
cant. 1t will show that Nevada under
state wide prohibition is more orderly,
law-abiding. and therefore better than
1t was Immediately preceding that
change in our laws.
Figures for misdemeanors are not
at hand but 1t is matter of common
knowledge that offenses punishable
by Imprisonment in county and city
jaiS have fallen off in number to a re-
markable extent-in some sases esti-
mated at fifty per cen as the mini
mum.
THE records of the state prison
show the reception OF 1903 prisoners
chargeable to the period ending De-
eember /. 1918 during the wet era
while the number received chargeable
to the corresponding period In 1919
was II. To be exact SO prisoners
were actually received in the year up
TO December 1, 1918 and So were re-
ceved in the corresponding period of
1919 but ten OF the 1918 quota OF pris-
oners were delivered during 1919 for
the reason that they were held In the
counyt jails over the end of the year
because there was a bar against pris-
oners at the prison due to the influ-
enza epidemic.
The prison population in Decem-
Der 1918 was Isl. That for 1919 was
9S. This is. roughly, decrease In
number Of so per cent or a reduction
to 40 per cent and a decrease in pris-
on population of 35 per cent or a re-
duction OF 65 per cent. The disparity
in rate of decrease is due to the fact
that terms expiring and the release
for other reasons are not constant or
comparable quantities.
I'm discussing the effects of pro-
hibition this first year of trial here,
1t is well to note that while there
have been three industrial disputes
of such magnitude as to fleet 20 per
cent of the total state population, dis
order has been at an absolute mini
mum. But one arrest was the actual
outgrowth of these matters and the
violence exhibited was more or less
technical rather than actual
at appears that prohibition as ex-
perienced in this state over the past
year has proved itself to be of sub
staniial. practical benefit"
