PEARL FISHING IN SCOTLAND
Low Water During the Season JUST
Ended Brought About Many
Successful Catches"

The pearl-fishing season. whicn mas
now drawn to a close has for many OF
the Scotch fishers been an extremely
successful one, says Violet Raeburn In
the Edinburgh Scotsman. Owing 10
the low volume of water In the rivers
after the long drought, they have been
enabled to see more easily the sheiis
on the river bed, also to wade farther
into the water. These fresh water
pearls are contained, not In oyster.
but In pearl-mussel shells, which are
70 be found in several of the Scotch
rivers and streams.
The methods of fishing vary slight
ly. The fisher with whose method we
are most familiar wears an anglers
hin boots and wades far into the water.
He carries In his hand piece OF cor
rupated iron, shaped much the same
as n lug. the base of which Is made OF
glass. This enables him to see the
shells which lie at the bottom OF the
river. In his other hand he holds a
"tongs" consisting of two pieces OF
wood with iron pincers.
On seeing shell he lifts 1t with
tongs and puts 1t into his pocket. Then
when he has good number OF shells
he opens them on the river bank TO
discover If he has had any luck. 1t
may be that he Will find pearl In the
first one he opens, or he may open
many shells without any prize. The
same shell may contain more than one
pearl.
As there is mass OF water weed
at the bottom of the river which pre-
vents the shell being seen. the spring,
before the weed Is In full growth. and
the autumn. when II is dying down,
are the best times for the fishing.

Harsh Sentenced

Harsh Sentenced
The case of r. Bamberger of this
city was called in the federal court
It Carson City yesterday afternoon,
defendant having been indicted by
the grand jury on three counts for
violation of the national prohibition
laws. He entered a plea of guilty
to all three counts and was sent
enced to ten days in the Washoe
county Jail. Bamberger was rep
resented by Attorney VIM. S. Boyle
of this city, district attorney-elect,
who made strong plea to the court
IN behalf of his client, and ex-
planned all the circumstances of the
Ease. 1t will be remembered that
8amberger was arrested at the time
the local officers were searching
for one, Higgins, wanted on an as
sualt charge, and incidentally found
a still in operation in lower Wash
ington street home.-Virginia City

EASY DIVORCE

Old-fashioned folk are shocked by the
escapade of some youthful HOLSTERS who
made "trial marriage" compacts and left
home to put them into effect. None has
reason to be surprised, though These
youngsters agreed to get married and
live together six months If either hus-
band or wife was dissatisfied at the end
of the period they would be divorced.
Sublime trust in the complaisant acquiesc-
ence Of any court to their simple request
for freedom from matrimonial bonds! But
fully warranted by the divorce record.
It has become fashionable to announce
that couple is merely going to "try out
the married state, and it is conceivable
that not few take the vows with mental
reservations that will ''let them OUT if the
bargain proves disagreeable. A few have
made it plain that they did not regard
marriage seriously. And the public has
looked upon their advanced position
with an indulgence encouraging others to
do likewise. When elder people "get
away with it." why should not youngsters
play the game?

TAXING FEW FOR BENEFIT OF ALL

The governors OF the eleven states west
of the Dakotas and Texas met recently in
San Francisco for the purpose of working
up uniform tax rate for gasoline, uni
form method of spending money so raised
and uniformity in traffic laws.
While a gasoline tax is probably the
easiest way to raise road money, it is simp-
ly class taxation. The state might Just as
well tax every tire purchased or have a
special tax on every acre of ground adj
joining paved road.
1t is true that automobile owners bene-
fit greatly by improved roads but SO does
every foot of property along the road as
we'll as cities and towns which benefit by
the business of additional country made
tributary by such roads.
Class taxation is dangerous in principle
in that the temptation is ever present to
add heavier and heavier burden to the
articles SO taxed and leave the people to
pay the bill in increased prices
The present plan is to tax gasoline sold
in these eleven states two cents a gallon.

that Morton's name has been sent
to the United States senate by
President Harding for confirmation.
The commission of "A. b. Harms,
incumbent, expired on May % OF
this year, but he has been holding
Office while his successor was be-
ing appointed.
Harms and Morton were among
the candidates for the position.
Congressman S. S. Arentz recon-
mended the appointment of Morton,
but Senator Oddie objected to this
on the strength, it is said, of OPP
position to Morton from prominent
Republicans of this city.
The fact that Mortoa's name has
been sent to the senate indicates
that the opposition has been with
drawn or that pressure has been
brought to bear upon Senator Oddie
to change his mind.-Carson APP

a beautiful and expensive silk quilt

spent over year in piecing and

Pinkeyed Guys =
Warning signs have been placed
on several residences in Ely as a
notification that the occupants are
suffering from chickenpox.
About a dozen cases have been
discovered and the children afflicted
are required to remain at home in
order to prevent unnecessary spread
of the disease.
No quarantine has been estab-
lished, as the disease is not con-
sidered dangerous, but every pre-
caution is being taken to control it.
1t is rumored that number of
cases of pinkeye also exist, but
none has been reported to the
health authorities, from which it
is believed the disease has in no
instance reached the contagious
stage.-White Pine News.
