HYMANMAKESGOOD NRENO:
MAY GO STILL HIGHER

for Washoo county at the next
meeting of the board of county
commissioners, according to the
reports current about the city hall
and county courthouse, although
no confirmation of the reports have
come from official sources. AT the
present time DR.. yAdoms is city
physician and DR.. A. r. DaCosta is
county physician.
A majority of the county board
of commissioners, it is stated. is in
favor of joining the work in the
hands of one physician. because
many cases arise in which the city
and county are both interested, and
for the reason that conflicts have
arisen in the past over the duties
of the two officials in such in
stances.
The city pays 800 monthly to
it's physician and the county $50
a month. In addition the county
also pays 500 month to ply
sician to act as registrar of vital
statistics and as county quarantine
officer. 1t Is said that the consoli-
dation will not affect the latter
office. which is held by Or. ]. w.

BY careful selection the Martians

ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES
CAN'T FEAZE BID DEGREE
FISHERMEN AT ANY TIME

Daddy Koontz and Tom and Fred
Lindsay of The Republican went fish
ing Tuesday of this week. The party
started out hoping to be able to get
over on Long Tom by way of the
Smith Prairie road, but upon arriv-
ing at the junction, found the road
impossible for even Dodge car.
A vote was taken and the bunch
decided to walk over the hills to the
dam. 1t was rough going, there be-
ing about IA inches of snow capped
with crust which held the walker
up-sometimes. But after a sewers
struggle the creek was reached and
all members of the party caught
the limit of fine trout.
AS matter of fact, the fishermen
became so interested in the sport
that the fight of time was UNDECIDED,
and it was rather late when the
party started back to where the
car had been parked. A trail was
followed on the return trip to the
Smith Prairie road which was about
two miles from the Dixie highway.
When the Prairie road was finally
reached the entire party was about
all in, and it was dark. On and on
plodded the fishermen, who finally
became so tuckered out with the
rough travelling that only a few
steps could be taken between rests.
But about S:45 the car was reached,
and after the pleasant pastime of
shoveling the car out of drift
where it lodged on attempting to
turn it around, the bunch finally got
started for home. Oh, boy! what
relief
Daddy Koontz, who is 76 years
young, stood the trip better than hiss
more youthful companions, and out
tide of losing one of his boots and
getting home neither barefoot nor
bod, was all in one piece.

years
The incubators are built in remote
Businesses, where there is little or nc
likelihood of their being discovered
by other tribes. The result of such a
catastrophe would mean no children
in the community for another five
years. l was later to witness the re-
suits Of the discovery of an alien incu-
hator.
Sola's duties were now doubled, as
she was compelled to care for the
young Marian as well as for me, but
neither one of us required much at
tention, and as we We're both about
equally advanced in Marian educa-
ton, Sofa took 1t upon herself to train
us together.
Her prize consisted in a male about
four feet tall, very strong and phys
ically perfect; also, he learned quick
ly, and we had considerable amuse-
ment, at least l did, over the keen
rivalry we displayed. The Marian
language, as ! have said, is extremely
simple, and in week / could make
all my wants known and understand
nearly everything that was said to me.
Likewise, under Sola's tutelage, / de
veloped my telepathic powers so tina
| shortly could sense practically every
thing that went on around me.
The third day after the incubator
ceremony we set forth toward home,
but scarcely had the head of the pro-
cession debouched into the open
ground before the city than orders
were given for an immediate and
hasty return. AS though trained for
years in this particular evolution. the
green Martians melted like mist into
the spacious doorways Of the nearby
buildings, until, in less than three
minutes. the entire cavalcade of
charlots, mastodons and mounted war
riors was nowhere to be seen.
Sofa and 1 had entered a building
upon the front Of the city, in fact, the
same one in which had had my en-
counter with the apes, and, wishing to
see what had caused the sudden re-
treat mounted to an upper floor and
peered from the window out over the
valley and the hills beyond; and there

rying to cover. A huge craft, long,

BOB CHATTIN
ALLOWED PATENT

Robert c. Chattin has secured let
ters patent on a power driven NOW
ing machine. This implement has
the sickle driven independent of the
wheel, as is the case in other makes.
A small motor is placed on the ma
chine. driven by gasoline power, and
this operates a 1O-foot sickle at any
speed the operator may desire. In
going through a heavy cutting the
speed can be increased and decreased
when the cutting is not so heavy.
There are no gears on the mower
and but three bearings, and it is
claimed that the weight on the
wheels is perfectly balanced. The
motor can be run without stopping
when it is desired to throw out the
sickle, this being accomplished by a
clutch.
This mower has been in operation
on the Chattin place almost three
years, and it has been given a thor
ough try-out. Bob says that it will
do as much more as two other now
ers with 6-foot sickles, each imple-
ment being pulled by two horses.
From this it would appear that
Bob has a good thing.

females.
And the sight which met my eyes
was that of slender, girIish figure,
similar in every detail to the earthly

eyes large and lustrous and her head
surmounted by a mass of cOal-black,
waving hair, caught loosely into a
strange yet becoming couture. Her

color, against which the crimson glow
of her cheeks and the ruby of her
beautifully nodded lips shone with a
strangely enhancing effect.

VAST HERDS FIND FORAGE
ON NATIONAL FOREST RANGE

About fifty-three per cent of all
the sheep and twenty-five per cent of
all the cattle in the eleven far west
ern states are grazed at least a part
of the year on national forests. This
statement is made in the annual re-
! port of the, Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture, re-
Gently issued
Nearly two million cattle and
seven million sheep, the statement
continues, found forage during 1921
on the national forests, in addition
to seventy eight thousand horses,
twenty4four hundred swine and for
ty-four thousand goats. In all, over
thirty-seyen thousand grazing per-
mits were issued during the past
year.
The demand for national forest
range now fully equals and in many |
PLACES oyertaxes the capacity of the
forests. To provide for increased de-
mand, improve and protect existing
ranges, and secure utilization of new
areas, a largo amount of improve
ment work must be undertaken by
the government. 1t is estimated that
SS,5O0,O00 will be necessary fully to
improve the forest ranges.
Projects have already been sur
veyed, on which construction can be
begun Immediately, involving an ex-
penditure of over s17O,OOO. These
projects consist of boundary fences
to prevent trespass, division and
drift fences to control more ade-
quately the distribution and move
ment of stock, water developments,
and poisonous plant eradication.
Such improvements as these are es-
sential to the most effective range
and to providing for ]
stable occupancy. I
