HEAVY RAIN IS
BENEFIT TOSTATE

The United States Weather Bureau
at Reno gives the following report
for this week:
There was much blusterous weather
during the past week, and the weekly
mean temperature was below normal.
The maximum wind velocity at Reno
was 48 miles on the 5th. The State
was covered by moderate precipita-
ton, the amount at Reno being 0.38
inch. Winnemucca OPT, Modena 0.4O,
and Tonopah OLA inch.
Ranges were improved by showers
and the soil was benefited in many
localities where 1t had become too
dry for plowing. The moisture was
excellent for fall and spring griin.
The precipitation supplied water for
livestock in the south portion where
there was scarcity because OF the
long period of dry weather. Plow-
ing and seeding grain made good
progress, and the soil was being pre-
pared for seeding alfalfa. Old alfalfa
was starting we'll, and grass made
rapid growth. Some early garden
truck was planted. Cattle and sheep
are doing well generally, although
cattle were poor in some localities
in the south. because the range had
been overstocked. The shearing of
sheep continued, except where it was
interrupted by unfavorable weather.
Sheep were doing we'll on alfalfa
pastures in the west portion, with
sheds for protection for young lambs
during stormy weather. The windy
weather with snow and rain was un-
favorable for lambing on the range,
but no unusual losses were reported.
Recent storms added considerably
to the water content of the snow
cover in the mountains. The precipi-
tation at Tahoe was 3.O1 inches, and
the rise of the lake was OBS foot.

GREAT SUCCESS

"The Old Maids Convention" given
at Rex theatre last Friday night by
members of the Epworth League,
was well presented and the big crowd
present was more than pleased with
the performance. Those taking part
surely delved deep into grandmother's
trunk to secure the antiquated
costumes that were worn. Every
one taking part had their lines per-
feet and the comedy was rich with
sparkling merriment.
Mr.. Makeover, with his marvellous
machine for transforming old maids
into radiant and blushing youth. was
the hit of the show. The old maids
stepped into the machine, and after
a few turns of the crank, making a
noise like an old-time Ford creation,
they stepped out onto the stage
dressed in the height of fashion and
resembled baby dolls.
The vocal solos by Mrs. A. P. Nell
son and Floyd J. Brown were Of the
highest order and were thoroughly
enjoyed by the big assemblage.
The play was such decided hit.
arrangement have been made for
its presentation at Carson City to-
night and tomorrow night at Ray
crafts hall in Genoa.

San Francisco last week, the crime
for which was been placed on a
sailor named C. B. Hicks, was at

which was located next to the old
Arrild stables In Bodie. Lafee had
two sons, one of which was Alfred,
murdered in San Francisco. AS a
boy, he attended the public schools
of Bodie and was well known, to
younger generation of that camp
when 1t was in its prime. Later the
father disposed of his business there
and with his family moved to San
Francisco.
Nothing had been heard of the
family until the few days ago
when the San Francisco papers
featured the murder story of Alfred
G. Lafee, rabbi.
