CORN WILL BE NEEDED

Indications point to rduction of
corn acreage-not through any con-
spiracy nor because of any drives
but simply because corn growing at
presena prices is not a particularly
profitable undertaking. Some men,
however, are putting out a good ac-
reagc, believcing that the world
needs corn, and that price will be
better They are probably wise.
When timid souls are staying out, it

New Locomotive Equipment

Washington. D. c., May 19-That

the South, Southern Railway System
has placed orders for new equipment
consisting of twenty locomotives,
five thousand three hundred ninety
freight cars of steel construction, five
hundred automobile cars of steel
construction, one hundred steel pas
senger cars and two hundred fifty
caEoose cars of steel underframe
construction. The magnitude of the
order can better be appreciated when
it is realized that if it were posi-
be to place the freight car equip
ment in one train it would be forty
seven miles from the cngiAe to the
caboose. or broken pm TO trains Of
an average length it would comprise
two hundred fifty freight trains or
one train every two and half miles
from Washington to Atlanta.
The new passenger cars If coupled
TO one train would be a mile and a

rear coach and would reprcsen
twenty trains of the average length.
The coaches are of the latest de-
sign and are of all steel construc-
ton. In placing this large order for

BACK TO THE BIBLE

ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER "a.

And Jesus went out, and departed
from the temple: and his disciples
came to him for to shew him the
building of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See
We rot ali these things? verify ] say
unto you, There shall not be left here
one stone upon another, that shall
not be thrown dOwh.
And as he sat upon the mount
of DIV cs, the disciples came unto
him privately saying, Tell us, when
shall these things be? and what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and OF the
end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto
them, Take heed that no man deceive
you.
) For many shall come in my name,
saying, am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
And We shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must
come to pass, but the end is not yet.
I For nation shall rise against ma
ton, and kingdom against kingdom
and there shall be famines, and pcstil-
cnces and earthquakes, in divers
places.
s All these are the beginning of
sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up
to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and
We shall be hated of all nations for
my names sake.
10 And then shall many be offended.
and shall betray one another, and
shall hate one another.
IL And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many.
II And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of mary shall wax
cold.
- But he that shall endure unto
the end, the same shall be saved.
II And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for
a witness unto all nations; and then
shall the end come.

PIONEER MAKER OF WOODEN
OVERCOATS VISITS HERE

w. j. White, an old-timer, was
in from Paradise Valley yesterday.
The old man-now approaching
the eighties--is the first man to do
any undertaking work in this sec
tion of the country and he used to
make, with his own hands and the
most primitive sort of tools, all the
coffins required for an immense
area of country.
"In the early days." said Mr..
White, "there was very little put
on at funerals. Those who died
were dead ones and the bereaved
paid tender respects in the best
manner possible but there was no
attempt to make a show of the
grief.
while l was not a fine cabinet
maker l was fully qualified to make
coffin that filled the needs of the
early day pioneers and l had never
cross word from any of the un-
fortunates for whom l was called
upon to construct a tailor-made
wooden overcoat. Some of the cas-
kets were little snug across the
shoulders, occasionally, but l was
always able to crowd the wearer
into them and there never was a
one of them who did any whining
or snarling about the fit"

RANCH PROPERTY
National Bank Official Will Retire
and Engage in Ranchins and
Live Stock Raising, With
Sons in Active Charge

c. L. Tobin, until recently cashier
of the First National Bank, a posi-
tion he had most satisfactorily held
for several years, and now serving
as assistant cashier, as the result Of
general and uniform demotion of
the banks entire official staff a
short time ago, will sever his con-
nection with the bank the first of
next month as result of the con-
summation of the purchase of the
interests of Mr.. Tobin's partner,
Graham Lamb, in the Bank ranch,
by Frank and Phil Tobin, sons Of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. L. Tobin.
The boys will assume full charge
of the ranch activities, under the
general supervision of their father
and the ranch property, including
live stock and complete equipment,
valued at $125,O00 thus passes into
absolute ownership and control Of
the Tobin family.
The ranch, located east of town.
contains approximately $500 acres
OF the most valuable land in Hum
boldt county and is generally con-
ceded to be one of the best ranch
properties in this section.
The clientele of the First Ma
tional Bank will learn, with sincere
regret of Mr.. Tobin's severance of
official relations with the bank, but
wish him the success he SO richly
merits in ranch life.

Authentic word was received in
Winnemucca over the wires last

finding of the dead bodies of the

Byron o. Pickard, chief of the fed
eral bureau of mines for this dis
trict, was the first man to go be.
hind the bulkhead and discovered
the bodies.
,"The bodies were found piled one
on top of another and decomposi-
ton had progressed SO far that
identification would be impossible
"A note found on one of the
bodies indicate that all the men had
died within five hours of the begin.

said.
"The note found read as follows
g a. m, gas bad.' The same note
bore a scrawled figure a. ap.
parently indicating the same man
had attempted to leave word for
those who might come after of the
condition of the mine at that hour
mine officials declare that the
condition of the cross-cut behind the
bulkhead was such that life could
not have been sustained there by
the entombed men for more thar
five hours.
"Mine officials said that deatl
had come to the entombed mer
painlessly. The gases, they said
would produce first lethargy, ther
coma and finally death.

actions of the men, as evidenced
by the bulkheads they built anG
other matters, indicate they had
died within five hours after being
entombed.
