Water Vessels on Turk Graves
Upon the graves of the dead in the
Turkish cemeteries little vessels of
water are placed for the benefit of the
birds, and some of the marble tombs
have basins chiseled out for the same
purpose, the superstition being that
birds carry messages about the living
to the dead.

The decision written by Cart
ner makes mention of the Fact that
the governor of Nevada gave testi-
monv at the Reno hearing showing
that the prosperity OF a great indus
try OF the state is dependent upon the
fixing of suitable rates.
1t is generally agreed that putting
the $6SS rate into effect will mean
the reopening OF the Wabuska smeltcr
on custom basis and the resumption
OF work III all mines of the Mason
Valley district. Representatives Of
the smelter company have declared
that construction Of a double unit
reverberatory furnace at the Wabuska
plant at a cost of about half a million
dollars will be started at once. 1t is
claimed further, that the ultimate eff
fect of such rate will mean the sal
vation of the Nevada Copper Belt
Railroad. Persons familiar with the
case and all conditions declare that
signal victory has been won by the
state in securing such favorable rec.
