interested in the renewed life in evil
dence on the Comstock. There, ac-
cording to all members of the party,
gambling is on in full blast, DRINKS
and all other normal concomitants
of a live mining camp may be seen
at any hour of the day or night.
The party had not been in Virginia
City but short time until hard
fought fistic contest was staged,
presumably for the benefit of the
Humboldt county visitors.
The Dangberg ranch held unusual
interest for the visitors, who were
shown many courtesies as they went
over the 10000 acre estate. Five
thousand acres are in cultivation
and the visitors were shown how
one irrigator cares for 1900 acres
of alfalfa throughout the growing
season. There they saw 1000 head
of cattle as they were being made
fit for the markets, 10000 head of
sheep and also witnessed the prep
arations being made to regularly
care for 1000 hogs. The Dangberg
ranch is near Minden.
Just now the Dangberg authori-
ties are preparing to plat 500 acres
of alfalfa land within close prox-
unity to Minden, where settlers will
be given a chance to make homes
on from 40 to 80 acre subdivisions.
Every encouragement is to be held
forth to the dairying idea, this form
of thrift being deemed the most re-
sultful in money returns.
The members of the water stor-
age committee making the trip re-
turn home duly impressed with the
possibilities attached to the home
scheme, which anticipates water con-
servation on Martin Greek and the
Little Humboldt to serve the splen-
did lands in the Paradise Valley dis
trict. The first named presents
storage possibilities approximating
10000 acre-feet and the Little Hum
boldt may give an additional 10000
acre-feet. New lands would not
come under cultivation as a result
thereof, it is asserted, but more in
tensive cultivation would be possible
within the area already enjoying
water rights. It-is claimed that the
irrigated area in Paradise Valley
at the present time approximates
$4,000 acres, of which probably one
half is handled in highly benefi-
cial manner, while the other half
is given over to pasturing purposes.

Fares Reduced for Holidays-

P. E. Born, Southern Pacific sta
ton agent, announces a special holi-
day excursion rate, the most sweep
ing since the railroads went out of
government control. Round trip
tickets will be sold on Dec. %, 90
and "a, with return limit of Janu-
airy a, for one and one-half times
the regular fare. This dispensation
applies to all points, where the one
way fare is $25 or less, and the
minimum fare accepted under the
rule is $3.50. The Western Pacific

excursion rates.

Late Ford Purchaser-

George Woods, former road SUI
pervisor, is a late purchaser of a
new Ford touring car from c. E..
Haviland, distributor for this county.
Mr. Haviland reports many inquiries
for Fords from among the county's
population ana expects to be doing
a land-office business within a short
time. The weather being accorded
this part of the state makes for the
automobile bug months in advance
of the usual period, and if the sun
shine and dusty roads continue for
long people will forget that they are
waiting for spring to buy cars.

Celebrating Irish Freedom

The Silver States office appurte-
nants are being painted green in
commemoration of the granting of
Irish freedom, even though there is
no son of Erin within the office per-
sonnet. The green within this office
is as restful to the eye as the green
of the clover sward, and Ben Gil
liam, in charge of fire rehabilitation
who is rapidly appropriating the
printers trade, claims that his paint
er's brush is distinct part of the
"art preventative" and that he is
the other part.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IS
 EL0PEMENT CLIMAX

Bridgetown, Barbadoes, March 15.-- Louis Campaigna. passenger on the steamer Vasari, bound from Beunos Aires for New York, killed his woman companion on the evening of March 10, and then committed suicide, it was learned today on the arrival of the steamer here. Campaigna fired five bullets into the woman. The bodies were buried at sea.
 New York. March 15.--The double tragedy aboard the steamship vasari was the climax of an elopement, the wife and children of Louis Campaigna revealed tonight at their home in Brooklyn. The mem mbers of the dead mans family, some of whom knew of his fascination for the young woman, half his age, who accompanied him, were preparing a forgiving reception for the erring husband and father when news of the tragedy reached them.
 The dead merchants daughter, Vir- ginia, 20 years old, said the girl her father had slain was Vivian Dressel, whom he had met two years ago. The daughter declared she tried to induce her parent to give up the girl, but un- successfully.
 Campaigna. who was prosperous merchant left home on January 8. Virginia related, and never returned.
 A few days later she went to his office and was told he had gone to Argentina

EXPECTED CABINET CRISIS IN MEXICO
 NOT MATERIALIZED
By Associated Press

Mexico City, March 15.-Brig. Gen. P. Elias Gales. chief of the cab inet and secretary of the interior, re- turned here today after a six weeks tour of the isthmus country where he investigated labor condi tions. His re- turn did not result in the cabinet crisis which has been so freely predicted.
 General Gales issued a series of statements today, branding as delibe- rate falsehoods reports that he had broken definitely with President obre- gon, and announcing himself in com plete accord with the government's policy with regard to the railroad strike which. it had been alleged, would fur nish an excuse for his retirement from the government.
 immediately upon his arrival here General Gales conferred with Pres ident Obregon and Adolfo de la Huerta secretary of the treasury, and later gave out a statement declaring tn, previous declaration of President Ob- regon that the strike was political ir | it's conception to be entirely correct. Ii IS generally believed here that Pres ident Oregon has greatly strengthened his position by the stand he has taken on the strike which is said to be near a settlement with both sides making con eessiens. There still are rumors of a general sympathetic walkout, but these generally are discredited.
 President Obregon has repeatedly stated in conference with the strike leaders that their stand was unten. able, Re has refused to discharge strike breakers and old employees who | hE a rn tr.a by the strikers, but on the other hand has agreed that members of the union shall not be discriminated against in l filling vacant positions.

 INCOME TAX PAYERS SWAMP THE CLERKS

revenue collector were literally routed by the rushing mob of belated would be payers of income tax, hurrying to get their return in before the time limit expired last midnight.
 Scores of persons stood lined up be- fore the windows of the cashier on the second floor of the federal build ing until late last night waiting their return to file their statement of money earned in 1920.
 Although it was announced the offices would not close until midnight, the clerks shut up shop when the line shrank to nothing about Io:30 o'clock. Last minute customers of Uncle Sam, as a result, were forced to make a mad rush for envelopes in which to mail their returns before midnight.

INCOMPLETE RETURNS
 INDICATE DIR. ZAYAS
 ELECTED PRESIDENT
By Associated Press

Havana, March 15.-lncomplete unofti- cial returns received up to Il o'clock tonight seemed to indicate that Dr. AL fredo Zayas had been elected president of the republic of Cuba.
 The returns tended to show that Dr. Zayas had made a clean sweep of Santa Clara, Camaguey, Pinar Del Rio and Matanzas provinces, where the liberals supporting General Jose Miguel Gomez had obeyed the resolution adopted by the executive committee of the lberal- democratic party and abstained from voting in so far as General Gomez was concerned. Only a few scattered votes were cast for him.
 With the four provinces above named to his credit, Zayas would win the presidency without awaiting the result ot the partial elections set for March 26 in Oriente province.

Roanoke, March t5.-tSpecial.)--I. w. Lewis, Il weil-lSnovn farmer of Randolph county, has reported the appearance on his farm of the first boil weevil of the season. The early arrival indicates that he is prepared to spend quite while provided the farmers will board him free. As n matter of fact, the farmers gener- ally do not seem to know just what to do in regard to this year's crop. However. there is strong senti- ment toward diversifying among many of them.
