I have from time to time an nounced through the press that I will accept Central and Citizens State Bank certificates because I still have as much confidence in both banks as I ever had. l out lined my views and expressed great confidence in both banks long before they opened and it has been a pleasure to have the cooperation of the citizens of ptccuiv and I believe that they now realize fully the results they are reaping, especially when they can have their certificates &C., cepted at full face value three months before they are due.
 I have been told that my an- nOuncement of accepting these certificates has been a great relief to many clothing and habe~5 slr- cry buyers because many of them were badly in need Of new s..u-4- clothes and did not have the ready cash to spare. The accept ance of these certificates has been welcome news to them. And the best part of it is that the Hyder Store will take certificates due February 1st at face value in ex- change for merchandise. They are as good as cash when it comes to buying our good clothes.
 You know I went East this summer and bought all new cloth ing and haberdashery. You get new goods at new prices at my store, for this trip meant a great deal to me and it in turn means a great deal to you. The personal selection. careful observation and wise buying of this stock makes the Hyder Store the REAL shop ping place for new, up-to- date ready-to- wear mems apparel.
 Our suits range in price from S25.00 to S65.00 and remember this is in Hirsch- Wickwire clothes We have Wilson Bros haberdash cry and Wilson Bros shirts.

TO AL TO RE[P NLkE RED X
 DRIVE \ SUCCESS

That the Red Cross drive is not coming up to the expectations of thAl committee was the word given out at headquarters yesterday. The col lections to date have fallen far be- low the amount of donations made last spring and unless there is a more generous response the Shop and Sal wage will not be in a position to furn- ish the splendid cooperation to the various charities which it has rem dered since its organzation.
 In view of the comparatively small returns the Shop has had to resort to its reserve stock. which was col lected during the spring drive. In the stock are q number Of warm coats which judging from the many calls for garments will be disposed of in short order
 In speaking of the drive yesterday Mrs. Sims Ely accounted for lack Of interest by the fact that the season was retarded due to continued warm weather She believes that house. cleaning days are later this year and that when the busy housewife ''gets around to. it. she will find any num- Der of articles and clothing for which she has no use which she will gladly donate to the Red Cross.
 ,''While we are keenly dlsa appointed in not gathering more household furnishings and wearing apparel at this time we are hoping it will be sent in from time to time" said Mrs, Ely. We will call for any parcel if word is sent to headquarters and have no doubt that many whose dis tricts have already been covered in the drive were overlooked"

 TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Oct. 27- Testimony of an interesting charac- ter, but which conflicted at several important points with that of prev ious witnesses for Mrs. Lyda South ard, was introduced by the defense yesterday in her trial for the allego, poisoning of Edward F. Meyer, hC former husband.
 Two witnesses, Miss Lulu Stout and Charles Hannah, both of Boise. brought into the case in an effort by the defense to impeach the testi- mony of Deputy Sheriff U. H.

The first contradictel testimony of the defendant and tNe story of the sec ond differed materially from the evi. dence of the other touching upon in- cidents in which each had a common part.
 The connection with the case of Miss Stout came first in the form of a letter addressed to MT. Ormsby in April of this year and introduced in evidence by the state early in the case. In this letter Miss Stout sug- gested a meeting with Mir. Ormsby and during one or two meetings sub sequently held in Boise, offered to go | to California, together with Charles Hannah, a friend, in search of the defendant, and if possible obtain a ] confession of guilt.

recently recovered from serious

self of the following:
Life is funny proposition. Get
ting down to brass tacks, it amt
worth the struggle we make to
maintain it. Looking back over
the past the greatest things that a
man accomplishes are puny in COM
parison with the wonders and nigh
tyness of the Universe. What is
life?. A mere struggle for brief
while on the world stage; striv-
ing for power, for wealth that we
may make holy show and try to
Guido our fellow man. What a
hollow mockery and sham! After
we have got it what is it? We die
and are carted to the grave where
prince and pauper are equal. Look
ing the matter squarely in the face
the game amt worth the candle
and life is joke. We condemn
the man who is without ambition,
yet on a showdown he is really
getting the most out of life.
death, what a blessing it is.
1t means rest, freedom from the
poisonous cankers of ambition and
the petty things and vain strivings
of life. Looking out into the vast
Universe with the myriads of
worlds whirling in space what mys-
teries many not death solve? Then
again, it may mean oblivion and
peaceful sleep. But in either case
it has life, with its troubles and
vain strivings backed off the boards
for keeps. That's why, in summing
up the past three weeks we don't
know whether to be thankful that
we are again back facing the bat
ties of life, or regret that we are
not solving the mysteries of the
great beyond. Studying the mat
ter over in the sleepless hours of
night and the restless hours of day
we have come to the conclusion
that there is damn little in life and
that it is not worth the struggle
we make to hang on to it.

MANY MINERALS FOUND
IN NEvADA'S MOUNTAINS

Sixty different minerals are found
in Nevada, according to listings on
file at the chamber of commerce
mine information bureau, which now
has 36 different properties listed.
The purpose of the bureau is to
bring buyer or operator and dis
coverer together and an indexed list
of both prospects and buyers is kept
up to date and as complete as pos
sible.
Yesterday inquiries were received
from prospective buyers of cobalt
and chalk properties. Two of the
former are listed from Pershing
county and one from Clark county.
Three chalk deposits are listed-one
each from Elko and White Pine, and
one from Plumas county, Cal.
The bureau also has buyers for
asbestos properties and deposits of
diatomaceous earth. There are SO
properties of the latter listed. This
earth is used in the manufacture of
building materials, fence posts, etc.
When prospeetor notifies the
bureau that he has made discovery
a blank form is mailed to him at
once. This form when filled out
and returned contains the name of
the mineral, its assay, the owners
name and address, the number of
claims and name of the property,
its distance from shipping point and
character of road thereto, the
length of the main deposit, its
average width and depth reached,
other deposits found on property
and price and terms. if for sale
This information is kept on file,
together with samples of the ore
and any additional information
which may be available.
When an inquiry is received from
a prospective buyer of any mineral
deposit, he is given a list of all the
deposits on file. with the informa-
ton in regard to each, and he may
then take up negotiations with the
owner direct or proceed with his
investigation of the property.
Prospectors are also advised of
any probable purchaser of their
discoveries and in addition to tbs
work the bureau is continually
seeking a market for Nevada min
eral products in case no buyer for
them is listed.

BIG WATER FLOW ON THE
THE PAHRUMP RANCH

Joseph A. Sherein, representing
the Wilson Company, packers, with
headquarters in Los Angeles, brings
confirmation of the report printed
in the Times of the sale of the
Pahrump ranch of 10000 acres.
Mr.. Sherein says he was informed
by c. f. Miner, the foreman and a
brother-in-law of Fred Shoup, the
manager, that most of the details
had been settled. Frank Buol is
now mapping the various artesian
and spring resources of the whole
Pahrump valley, presumably in the
interest of the buyers in connection
with their big colonization scheme,
says the Tonopah Times.
Data on the new artesian flow
recently struck in the valley pro-
cured by Mr.. Sherein shows that
the value of the late strike of wa
ter is great The hole was drilled
to depth of 525 feet and delivers
65 Nevada inches of water, or the
equivalent of so California inches.
Two original springs on the ranch
flow eco Nevada inches and two
old wells recently redrilled show
decided improvement in the flow.
One was sunk from depth of $40
to 400 feet and is giving so Nevada
inches. The second was bored from
s25 feet to 425 feet and is pour
ing out a flow fully equal to the
other well.
