MAHRT'S PHOTOGRAPH
HAD FOR THE ASKING

August Mahrt. the genial host at
the Northern Club, who marched at
the head of the Elks parade accom-
panying the cast in THE Beauty
Shop to the theater the night of the
performance, was later photographed
by a special photographer. Gus was
not conscious of the fact that the
photograph was being taken as he
chatted cordially with friends on the
street. Neither was he conscious CT
the fact that his conventional attire
was attracting such widespread at
tention. When the photograph was
finished and friends gaZed steadily
upon their idol as he appeared adorn-
ed with high top silk and frock coat,
n committee was selected and assign
ed to the duty of making their dis
finguished townsman the next United
States senator from Nevada. Plans
were about perfected when It was
learned that by reason of close per-
sonai friendship with the incumbent,
Hon. Key Pittman, which is OF many
years standing and extends from
Nome. Alaska, to Tonopah, Nevada,
Gus had decided to reject the honors
thrust upon him and his decision was
unalterable.
Mr.. Mahrt was bitten by a dog be
longing to William Moyle last We'd
nesday, but the slight wound infliet-
was soon thereafter cauterized by
a physician and no dangerous conse-
uenee are anticipated. The dog
was later shown the picture of the
he had attacked and the animal
is said to be now slowly grieylng
itself to death.

Vandals Defacing
Candidates Cards

The practice of willfully but per-
haps thoughtlessly destroying plac-
ards which are displayed In the ordi-
nary course of advertising is beeom
Ing noticeable as the cards of the
various candidates for public office
are now making Their appearance.
This practice is one that should not
be tolerated. The cards are posted
at considerable expense 10 those an
nouncing their candidacy and should
be allowed to remain, without being
in any manner defaced, until they
have served their purpose. Such
willful destruction Is In violation Of
the law as well as being an injustice
to those whose property is destroyed.
Much of the injury is done perhaps
without malice, but IL is a practice
which should be stopped. Interested
parties have declared their intention
TO invoke the law II necessary.

CROPS AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK OF JULY 10

II. +. Alps, director Of the Reno
weather bureau of the United States
department of agriculture, makes the
following report on weather and crop
conditions for the week ending July
10:
Abnormally warm and Try wealth
er continued during the last week. Ii
was the fourth consecutive week with
daily mean temperatures greatly in
excess of the normal and with no
beneficial precipitation in the state.
The temperature averaged 10 de-
grees above normal at Reno during
the last four weeks and the daily
mean temperature did not fall as
low as normal at any time during
this period. The warm spell was not
so pronounced In the north portion
as in the west and south. The max
mum temperature reached SO at
Modena, Utah. on the 18th. which
Is tho highest on record for July.
Showers were reported Owe the
greater part of Nevada the morning
of the 10th and the amount of moist
ure was generally sufficient to ma
terially benefit ranges, pastures and
other unirrigated vegetation. There
was about 9S per cent of the possible
amount Of sunshine for the week and
tho wind movement was normal.
The high day and night tempera-
lures during the last several weeks
caused rapid development OF irrigat-
ed crops. and Notwithstanding the
backward spring vegetation is prae-
tically normal for this season of the
year. Potatoes did not seem to suf-
fer from the high temperatures. -
though the growth of vines was
usually heavy. The conditior
rigated wheat, oats. barley.
alfalfa continued coed. Dry land
crops were suffering from the drought
In the few small areas where dry
land farming is practiced. Grass
hoppers were more her than
usual. High temperatures caused the
rapid maturing of fruit.

AND N'GILL TEAMS
CLOSE BALL GAME

IN what is generally conceded to
be the best game Of baseball played
since the organization Of the district
league, McGill defeated Ely on the
diamond at the smelter city last SUI
day afternoon by a score of s 20 z.
The result Of the game hung in the
balance until the last half of the
ninth inning. when the McGill team
scored the winning run.
Spirited plays on the question OF
the umpires' decisions in close quar-
ters added interest 10 the game.
The Ely team has showed steady
improvement since the beginning of
the season, when it entered the race
practically without organization or
any idea of team work. The addition
of several star players and considera-
bic practice has, however, so strength
ened the club as to place II in the
position of a real contender for PEN
nant honors.
Today's game will be played at
Ruth and Is expected to be the fast
est exhibition up to this stage of the
series. The Ruth team has been one
of recognized ability and has shown
real class each time the boys have
appeared o ~ the diamond. The Ely
team has shown so much progress in
recent games that the boys are look
ing forward to the game this after
noon with an air of confidence.
which of itself Is added strength.

OLD NEVADA RESIDENT
DEAD m MINNESOTA

Austin Jacobson, a Nevada pioneer
and for forty years a resident OF
White Pine county, died July Z, ac-
cording to advice received by the Ely
Record from Toilet Sanderson OF
Harmony. MINI.
Mr.. Jacobson was a resident of
Hamilton during the early days OF
Nevada history and to his energy and
activity much of the development Of
the mineral resources of that section
is attributed.
IN chronicllng the death of the
reyered old Pioneer the following
obituary is taken from the Harmony
News:
austin Jacobson was born Octo-
Der 81, 1889. in Vestfjorden. Tele-
marker, Norway. His parents emf.
grated to America. arriving in New
York August /, 1912. Ills mother,
together with a sister and brother,
died while crossing the ocean. The
family settled in Muskego, Wis, some
twenty miles south of Milwaukee. His
father died in 1S45, leaving him an
orphan.
In the summer of 1854 he came
west, stopping a few years at Locust,
Iowa. His brother. John Jacobson,
had located near Lenora, Mimi, the
same year and Austin came TO live
with him in 1850. Here he made his
home for four years. In those days
the great west held forth alluring
prospects of success and he with
many others followed the call. First
he went to New Ulm, Mimi, and fell
in with n Captain Fiske at Fort
Ridgely. joining an expedition beyond
the Missouri river. crossing it at Fort
Rice. They were attacked by Indi-
ans, losing twelve men and many
wounded The fight was kept up for
Two days. when they were finally res
cued by a squad of soldiers.
He returned to Omaha. Neb., tho
same year and engaged in teaming
till the following year. Denver was
the next place where he stopped, also
at Central City, Col, for two seasons
he was engaged in railroad work on
the Union Pacific railroad. He was
unfortunate, for the contractor went
bankrupt and Austin was a heavy
loser. About this time his left arm
was disabled by an accidental dis
charge of a gun.
He came to Hamilton, New, MAJ
16. 1869. This was the big silver
mining camp in Nevada. remaining so
until silver was demonetized In 1873.
Naturally Austin became interested
in mining. Here he stayed nearly
forty wears. returning to Minnesota
December Is. 1907. Ever since he
has had his home with friends and
relatives in and near Harmony. In
1920 his health began to fail but he
rallied again in the summer and au-
tumn of 1921. Last winter and
spring he took to mis- bed. He was
taken to the Lutheran hospital In La
Crosse, where he died July Z, 1922.
After a long life of work and dis
appointments his end came peaceful
ly and he was laid to rest in Green.
field cemetery, Tuesday. July IL. Rev.
Gerhard Rasmussen officiating.
Besides nephews and nieces he
leaves two sisters to mourn his loss,
Mrs. Cornelia Heg OF Elizabeth. n. j.,
widow of Colonel Heg of the Fiji
teenth Wisconsin regiment. and Mrs.
