Murder Record
Wilmington Morning Star.

The number of murders com.
mlt,cd in this country last year
was 5000, and the previous year
shows a similar record. In the
city of Philadelphia one hundred
murders were committed, and
The record for the country as a
whole is without a parallel tor a |
country enjoying peace condi-
tons. The situation betokens
an undermining of moral con-
di,ions which is indeed appalling.
The fundamental law of the land
recognizes the sacredness of hu.
man lite, and all of our institutions
are built upon this conception of
civilized conditions. and the rec
ord demands and should receive
the most serious consideration of
the public. We are prone to look
10 the courts for the preservation
of order and protection of life,
and too often forget that the
courts are no different from or
greater than the standards impos
ed by public sentiment. The
reason that the courts are singled
out is because they represent

lIbieis with the people themselves.

I quate sentences, but, the juries
drawn directly from the people,
are largely responsible for both

ROAD IS CLOSED

Sunday parties from Gardnerville
drove up the Kingsbury grade as far
as the old sawmill and gave it as
their opinion that they could have
reached Lake Tahoe with their
machine over this route had they so
desired But few inches of snow
was on the ground. at the sawmill and
going was not as bad as had been
anticipated. From last reports re-
ceiyed from Lake Tahoe there is
about 16 inches of snow on the sec
ond summit and the road was blocked
to auto travel.
An effort was made yesterday to
get in communion with Young Bros
at Bijou by telephone. but the line
was out of order. There are several
parties in Gardnerville desirous OF
driving their machines to California
and are hoping that the Placerville
route will again be open to travel
this month, in order to avoid the
necessity of making the round-about
trip via Tonopah and the Los Angeles
route.

that twenty-five large rattlers and
four snakes of unidentified species

that some of the rattlesnakes had
unusually large collections of rattles
and that the strange snakes were
fully four feet long. Asked why
they did not remove the rattles and
put them on exhibition one of the
fellows declared that he wouldn't
touch one of the rattlesnakes for the

ship APPLES
TO ENGLAND

That Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Hussman
are making success of farming in
the State of Oregon, is gained from
the following which recently appeared
in paper published at Grants Pass:
The first carload of Newton ap-
Piles shipped by o. L. Hussman has
arrived in London. A cable received
today states that the fruit brought
sl.75 a box net In Grants Pass. The
car contained 756 boxes. Mr.. Huss-
man. who was recently elected as
director of the Grants Pass Irriga-
tion district. has a second car on
the way. He shipped through Dennis
Kimball and Pope.
The many friends of this young
couple. so we'll and favorably known
in Carson Valley, will be pleased 10
learn of their success. Fruit, to re
shipped from Oregon to England,
must be of superior quality and that
MIR. Hussman has a second shipment
on the road to that country, indicates
that his farm and orchard is one of
the best in the Northwest.
