AGAINST
THE LOUISIANA CON.

Tonopah Times: Judgment for
$~18,951.93 was given Monday by
Judge Walsh in the district court In
favor Of the Revada Sales Company,
an automobile lei of Reno,
against the Louisiana Consolidated
Mining Company, now in the hands
of a receiver. The debt was contract
ed by the company three years ago
when operations were resumed at
Typo and the announcement was
made that the company was in first
class financial shape. New York
capital was supposed to be interested
to a large extent, and it was stated
at the time that the company pro-
posed keeping up shipments Of rs
tons daily to Tonopah. On the
strength of these representations the
company had no dificuly in buying
the trucks on time payment, but the
obligation was not l~iquidated and the
company drifted from bad to worse
until it landed In the custody of the
court.

TOO MANY WIVES
United States Citizen, in Zuzu-
land Was Compelled By
Custom to Wed Five
Black Beauties

Escaping in the middle Of the night
from his FIVE obligatory wives" In
the forest Businesses Of Zululand
Farid Bey Derighan. otherwise Mr..
Doughan, subject Of the Egyptian sui
tante, has arrived in New York. He
is a former citizen Of the United
States, where he bore the ordi-
nary name of Doughan.
Farid Bey was born in 1889, in Su-
bag, $50 miles south of Cairo. on the
Nile, under the shadows Of the Sphinx
and pyramids. His father at that
time was director Of irrigation pro-
jects under the ministry of the Su-
danese government. His mother, also
an American, died in Egypt when
Farid Bey was a child. An elder son,
George, also vas left In the fathers
care.
The father returned to the States
with his sons when Farid was seven.
George, when IT, virtually kidnapped
his younger brother and spirited him
away. Some years later the father
learned that the elder brother,
George, was employed in the diamond
mines of South Africa, while the
younger Farid had been left In a
French school in Cairo.
Farid became a diamond mine SUI
perintendent and was given the Turk
ish title Of effendi.
During the World war Farid Ehen-
di was recruited by the British army
and because of his knowledge of ORR
entail languages, assigned for duty
with the Indian army, serving in Pal
estine as captain.
Although now only % years old,
Farid Bey wears iour British cam
paign medals.
"And how about your five wives?"
you see," the hey replied. when
/ was in Zuluiand, directing natives
working in the diamond mines. I had
allotted to me a number Of native
servants. including young girls-all
very dark.
Zone of the tribal requirements, in
order that q white man might live
there, is that he take at least hve Of
these bellies as wives Otherwise,
serious difficulties and wen death
might ensue.
"Some months ago I determined to
return to the United States. The
problem Of how to get away from my
black beauties doomed up formidably
before me. They had become very
attached and l feared for the worst
II 1 let them know ! had planned to
leave.
II chose an exceptionally dark
night, four months ago. to make my
escape. When / felt certain that all
my wives were asleep, I sneaked out
Of the place and worked my way past
the native guards, and then made a
dash for Pretoria.
"Once there 1t was only a question
Of taking a train to Cape Town and
boarding a steamer for Marseilles."

NEVER OLD

Are you beginning to get old? This
question interests you now, IL you
are on the shady side of 40, and
crows feet appearing around your
eyes and stiffness creeping into your
joints. Young folks, now light
hearted and Indifferent to the steady
flight Of youth. will have their turn
later.
Folklore says that a mans as old
as he feels-and a woman as old as
she looks before breakfast. But is
that true? For instance
]. N. Smith, civil war veteran, lives
in Muskogee, Okla. He's IS years
old. Learned to ride a bicycle when
he was 80.
zone of my boys came home with a
bicycle and said he'd learned to ride
it," Smith says.
II said that wasn't much of a
trick. The boy Che was only 43) bet
me a new hat l couldn't learn. l took
him up, and, in the face of a laugh
ing wife and all the kids in the neigh
borhood, learned to ride in three
days. And I'd like to see any of them
beat me now for long or short dis
tances. My advice to any man with
one foot In the grave Is to pull 1t out
and get 1t to working on a bicycle
pedal"
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Barker, 80 is
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church Of Petersboro, New Hamp-
shire. Too old to preach?
I'm as young as l feel-that's
way back in the twenties," say Moth
or" Barker. AFTER my marriage.
following the civil war, l quit preach
ing and settled down to rear my two
children. I went to work In a shoe
factory, as a stitcher. There I stayed
until the children grew up. I've been
preaching, OF and ON, all my life.
Now, at so, I've just received my Sec
ond preaching license. II keep young
by preaching. 1t gets more refresh
ing every day"

SAME L GAME?

Heavy assessments levied by three
Comstock mines and the resignation
of the general superintendent. Alex
Wise, will not tend to increase pub
lie confidence in the management OF
these properties. The assessments
possibly are warranted by mine re-
auirements but 1t Is apparent by the
rapid decline Of prices in the past two
weeks that some of the stockholders
who had advance information of the
pending levies disposed OF their hold
ings to q large extent before the pub
lie "'got WISE" For a quarter of a
century stocks of certain of the Com
stock companies were assessed to
provide Jobs for a favored few and
the shares manipulated on the mine
exchange. 1t was hoped, and be-
lieved, that under the new manage
ment this unfair program would be
changed. The public. too. had been
lead to believe during the past four
or ave months that the mines were
prospecting under the new regime. If
heavy expenditure of money to lower
operating costs has made necessary
these levies, the stockholders should
have been appraised of the conditions
through the medium of financial re-
ports and statements of officials. The
method of assessing stockholders to
provide operating funds is fundamen-
tally right, but IL often misused. 1t
will take q long time to restore conf
dence In companies whose oficials
abuse the power placed in IL r

PRESIDENT HARDING
FAvORS COLORADO
RIVER PROJECT

Success for Nevada in its co-opera-
ton with seven other Western States
to secure waters of the Colorado river
for reclamation and power purposes
and of the Walker River Irrigation
District to secure waters of the Walk
er river to irrigate lands of the dis
trict is practically assured. according
to Col. j. G. Scrugham. State Engin-
eer, who returned to Carson Monday
from Washington, d. c., where he has
been in the interests of the two pro-
jects.
President Harding has sanctioned
a bill in Congress which has for its
purpose the erection of a 700-foot
dam at Boulder Canyon to irrigate
lands in Nevada, California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Wy
oming, the furnishing of water for q
great hydro-electric smelter, accord
ing to Scrugham, and there is every
likelihood that the legislation will be
enacted. :
Although the city of Los Angeles is
anxious to secure permission to use
the Colorado river for power pur-
poses for that place, Governor Steph-
ems Of California Joined with Govern
ors Of six other Western States in ap-
proving the irrigation and smelter,
the State Engineer said, because Of
the vast area Of Southern California
that would be benefited. Encourage
ment was given the Western repre-
sentatives who appeared before Con-
g~ressional committees in support of
the Boulder Canyon project from
many sources, Scrugham reported.
AS in the last of the Colorado riv-
or project, officials of Washington are
inclined to favor the East Walker riv-
or for irrigation purposes rather than
for power generating uses. the State
Engineer believes. At the hearing
before the Federal Power Commits
sion at Washington on May 16 1t vas
evident, he said, that the board mem
bers, Secretary Weeks, Wallace and
Fall, favor the granting of a permit
to the Walker irrigation District for
irrigation rather than to c. e. Loose
Of Utah for power purposes. but 1t
would be necessary to show that a
municipal corporation Is behind the
project. This, Scrugham says, can
be done.
Secretary Wallace showed clearly
that he believed that a greater good
would result through granting an ap-
plication for storage for reclamation
than for power generation and other
members have indicated that they
also favor this plan," the Nevada Of
fetal explained.
THE hearing before F. H. Fowler.
district engineer of the United States
forest service, in Reno on May II was
of little consequence compared with
the hearing in Washington, which
was attended by Governor Boyle.
Senators Pittman and eddie. Con-
gressman Arentz, Attorney Hoyt for
the Walker River Irrigation District
and myself. l believe the evidence
presented there showed clearly that
the project sanctioned by the Nevada
laws will be of greater benefit to Ne
vada and the West than a power
plant erected by private enterprise at
a site near Bridgeport.
I'VE have only to show now that a
municipal corporation Is fathering
the project, and that we can easily
do"
