TIENFE NINE POTS
SIMAERING IN
CARLIN TOWN
Citizen of Railway Village
Has List of Over Score
OF JackaSS Makers

List to the yarn that emanates
from Cariin town. dear reader. Twen-
ty.nine stills count 'em, twenty
nine. simmer and sizzle and drip out
the jackass on opportune occasions,
according to a citizen Of the railroad
town who. with about five hundred
others who stand for law and order
would like to see the passing OF the
manufacture OF white mule. The bat
tie song OF the Carlin Hole In the Wall
Geag. who engage promiscuously In
the business of turning out Jackass
brandy, runs as follows:
Twenty-nine pots workin' overtime,
Twenty-niHe brewers i;T
Brewin' all the time,
Take one down and pass It all around
Twenty-eight brewers IS
To help him pay his fine.
Nor is this the product of newspa-
per Imagination, which the story goes
is always too prolific for dependence
to be placed upon II. The citizen OF
Carlin who released the twenty-nine
stills story released It to the writer.
He Sat down and wrote the names of
twenty-nine brewers OF white mule
who to his knowledge were engaging
In the business OF dIstillation for
home consumption and for profit and
we have the names of these twenty
nine brewers peacefully reposing
within the filing cases of our. scribbl,
ing eerebellun. si 80
One fellow In Cariin makes the
claim that his still has reposed. In
every edifice IN the city that had a
cellar and whose, occupants or owners
could stand the odoriferous reminder
that the white animal with the pom.
derous kick was being created IL the
shallow bowels Of the earth heneGth

Of facile transportation has often
been the object OF official suspicions
and consequently its faculty for rapid
transportation evidently stood it in
good stead.
This paper can say with confidence
that its publicity stories anent the
distillatlon situation In Carlin are
backed by ninety per cent OF the peo-
pie Of the railroad town. The twenty
nine still story is the latest. Il Is
authentic and can be substantiated.
We are looking for, more of such sta

BY FLOOD MATER
T0EEk0 ROADS
Seventeen Cars Stalled at the
Town of Deeth Recently.
p1adWork Crippled

$20.t wIll not cover tho damage
done EIko county roads during the
present season Of high water, accord
ing to members OF the Eako County
Highway Commission. AS result or
the floods IN the county, road work
for this season has been badly Grip
pied and considerable OF the new work
may be abandoned for this year In
order to divert funds into the work OF
repair. -.
Most Of the damage done lies along
the Humboldt river from Wells to
Eiko. At Deeth the floods were es-
pecially damaging. Seventeen cars
were stalled at Deeth In one day,
while a county tractor was kept busy
all day long pulling them through the
water to dry roads ON the other side.
Lamoille Greek. near the Hunter
& Lytton ranches, is fairly seething,
according to Commissioner Ed Lyt-
ton and the water has overflow the
county highway on the approach to
Lamoille proper, Mt points for dis
tance Of twenty feet or more wide and
from six inches to q foot deep. Mr.
Lytton stated while here attending
the last meeting OF the county COM
missioners that several bridges along
the line of the flood waters could not
possibly last. The replacing OF cuI-
Verts and bridges win prove an ex-
pensiye item for the county this year.
The commissioners, together with
Assessor Weathers and District Attor-
ney Castle. are meeting today as a
road board to consider ways and
means for best repairing the damage
1t Is statement not far wrong to say
that the entire road equipment of the
county must be used for the next thir-
ty days or more IN repairing the flood
water damage. - - = '4,-rr-'
1t is the opinion OF many familiar
with the action of flood waters In this
county that tho situation is by no
means ON the ebb. The warm wealth
er OF the last three days has only
started the melting SHOWS In the
mountains which means that the
maximum OF high water has not been
reachsd.
The Humboldt at this point is out
of It's banks and stretching to points
nearly mile from its original chan
mel in some places. At the Bieglar
place In this city. which lies along
the river bed. Mr.. Bieglar's mich cow
herd has been. cut off from his sheds
and the proprietor now has to. drive
several blocks to the LamoIlle bridge
meeting the COWS at the east gate of
his ranch and hauling the milch back
to his dairy. The water between this
point and the ranchhouses proper Is
several feet deep. Along the Green
and Fernald ranches the water is also
spreading far into the fields and the
same holds good with respect to tho
Hunter & Banks and Dressi places to
the west OF this city. Ranchmen state
that the high water is now becoming
a serious menace to the hay crop as
the product will not be dry enough to
harvest for sometime to come. thus
delaying the worle and perhaps com.
pelling the Abandonment OF consider.
able stretches of hay that otherwise
would be available. ~ 80
This season has been the heaviest
high water month ever experienced
in the history of this county and the
county has been tho principal loser
because of damage to its roads.
