PAPER
N FAVOR Of EVANS

Chas. X. Evans, representative IN
Congress from Nevada, was in Elko
for a few hours last Saturday in the
interest Of his candidacy for re-elec-
ton and in an interview with the Free
Press man expressed great confidence
that he would secure the nomination
He has more than the average ability
as a politician and makes, a splendid
impression on the voters whom he
meets. He requested us to convey to
the voters his appreciation for their
votes two years ago and to assure
them that If he returned to the hall OF
congress he will devote his entire
time and attention to their interests
at Washington.
The West needs representation OF
the right sort i'll Congress, declared
Mr.. Evans and a watchful eye must
be kept at all times OH proposed leg
islation affecting western states.
He referred particularly to rec
lamation and the control of the pub
lie domain. Ic declared that it
was the opinion of many eastern con-
gressmen that the public domain
should nver pas sfrom the hands of
the federal government but be leased
and the price to be regulated by ap-
-praisenent from time to time. Such
step would block progress, declared
Mr.. Evans, but that is just what may
be expected, unless western men are
on the alert.
He expressed himself as being op-
posed to the ever growing list of
public bureaus at Washington that
serve no other good causes than to
create useless positions for Office
seekers, but which are heavy drain
on the public purse. Free Press

Gold quartz running 5000 per ton
has been struck in the Success Mines
No | and in the Masonic district of
Mono county. according to a tele-
phone message from c. c. Hayes, one

carried out to ascertain the extent of
the discovery
Ore running from $40 to 500 per
ton is reported blocked out in the
Chemung workings, but operations
are retarded by dissentions among
the leasers. 1t is expected that defi-
mite policy will be arrived at soon.
The properties mentioned are all
located on the east side of the Masonic
district. which has been the scene OF
considerable activity during the past

RAIN HURTS CROPS
AND HELPS PASTURE

The rain last week proved to be
not all unmixed blessing. While %
great benefit to the pasture lands, it
did much damage to the hay and
grain. 1t is estimated that 10000 tons
of second crops alfalfa hay was dam-
eyed in this county. also large quan-
tity OF wheat in stacks.
The Fallon Eagle says: Theheaviest
rainfall that has visited the Lallontan
valley since the weather bureau was
established at the U. S. Experiment
Farm IA years ago set in Wednesday
night. The record for the entire
storm of two days at the experiment
Farm was 1.9 inches while at Lahon-
tan dam, where the gauge is kept. the
fall from midnight Wednesday night
to 8 a. m. Thursday was l.o7, the
total at the dam being 2.97 inches.
The storm was general throughout
this part of the state and came at
an unfortunate time for the farmers
OF the Newlands project, as a large
amount of second crop hay was down.
Much of it was in the bunch and
some in the swath. This will prob
ably be damaged to a greater or less
extent because of the steady soaking
rain. Some of the farmer state that
slight damage may have been done
to alfalfa that had not been cut be-
fore the rain. Considerable grain
damaged.

THE MODEL HOME
OF SAMUEL ARENTz

To man with the spirit Of the
pioneer and the soldier, there must be
inspiration to greater effort when he
stands at his comfortable and modern
ranch home and gazes over broad
acres wrestcd from sagebrush waste
and transferred into fertile fields,
irrigated stocked and profitable.
This ranch is the home of Samuel
Shaw Arentz 1t is located near the
center of the northern portion OF
Smith Valley. 1t consists Of 400 acres.
1t is the model home OF a scientific
Nevada rancher and mining man.
The housc is commodious two-story
la,ilding. fitted with nearly all modern
built-ill features. 1t is electrically
lighted by one of the small individual
plants which work efficiently and eco
nomically with little attention. Electri
city is used also for certain household
purposes.
Mrs. Arentz, who rules the house OF
the Republican candidate for Repre-
sentative i'll Congress, is the happy
mother of four beautiful children.
Before becoming holnenakcr in Ne
vada she had the advantages of liberal
education in this and foreign coun-
tries. and Of extensive travel Like her
energetic husband, however. Mrs.
Arcntz is firmly convinced that the
state of her adoption is potentially
the most wonderful portion, of an all
wise creation.
RefIecting the character Of its build
crs and occupants, the AREN'T ranch
home is full OF good books and good
music. And these things are not at all
evidences of a perfunctory refinement.
They are used continually. Little
three-and-a half year old Annabel OPP
crates the player piano in a really
pleasing manner, selecting her own
rolls. placing them in the instrument,
and returning them properly to their
places after use.
Children's books are numerous, but
there is little or no adult fiction or
frivolous literature Current maga-
zines. OF the higher class, are in con-
venient places. Everything in the
house, from table scrvice-to individual
hooks for towels and toothbrushes of
the kiddies, indicate the orderly, sys-
tematic thought of the occupants.
Half dozen ranch houses can be
seen from Valley View ranch. To the
south dim trace of the hamlet of
Wellington appears. To the northeast,
nesting against great hill, the old
camp of Ludwig is in the distance.
Further than these things there is
little but broad fields of alfalfa and
grain, all encircled by the brown, bald
hills of the Sagebrush state.
Capt. Arentz was superintendent of
the Nevada Douglas mine at Ludwig,
before he located this homestead ii
years ago. Also he built the Nevada
Copper Belt railroad which skirts the
southerly side of the valley. line AZ
miles long running IRON Ludwig to
Wabuska and the Thompson smelter.
The ranchers' of Smith Valley and
the miners of the hills round about
are typical of the sturdy populace
which makes Nevada all she is.
Needless to say they are proud to have
a representative OF their class aspiring
TO serve them at Washington. They
point to Sam Arentz as man who
has mastered all the vital problems
of Nevada, and who has works on
every hand proving his understanding
OF the needs of the state.
