THERE IS NO MRS. D. H.
TANDY SAYS Mr.. D. H. TANDf

There appeared personal in one
of the Reno papers few days ago
which informed the public that Mr..
and Mrs. D. H. Tandy were visit
ing in the renowned city of prog
ress and other things, says the
Reese River Reveille.
Now to find oneself benedict
and be unable to locate his bride
is a very unsatisfactory feeling.
Congratulations coming from. every
quarter naturally brought a smile
to the editors moribund counte-
nance, like a jersey calf drinking
sour milk.
Strenuously denying that he had
found a mate, who was willing to
overlook the frailties of an editor,
and earnestly endeavoring to prove
an alibi, it required vast amount
of explanation to bring matters
back to normally.
No, dear friends, we are still "in
maiden meditation, fancy Free"
Still on the lookout, as all old
geezers are; but everyone knows
that all prospectors are just about
to strike it; and hope dwells con-
tinually in his manly breast.
No, skeptics, neither our wife nor
any other fellows wife on any other
members Of the lovely and torment
ing sex were with us in Reno. 1t
was only Bud McCabe, and every
one knows that there is nothing
frail about him.

NEW STRIKE AT MOUNTAIN
HOUSE CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Unusual excitement prevails this
week because of q new mining
strike made in the Mountain House
district. It is reported in Gardner
vile that a prospector named Mel
son, who has been in that district
for the past month or so, uncovered
a new ledge in the mountains south
west of the Mountain House that
assays better than $40 per ton in
gold. The ledge is reported to be
of considerable size and is well de-
fined.
News of the new strike reached
Smith Valley last Saturday and
mining men from many parts of
Nevada were on the ground to in
spect the new find. Among those
from Smith Valley that visited the
new district was Samuel Arentz,
ex-congressman from Nevada.
Considerable ground has been
staked in the new district and 1t is
believed that the find is one Of
great Importance to this section

LIFE INSURANCE LOSSES
INCREASE IN THIS STATE

Life insurance companies operat-
ing in Nevada paid a heavy per-
centage of losses as compared to
premiums received, according to the
report of George A. Cole, state con-
troller, for 1922. The increase in
losses paid is large in proportion to
what it was in 1920 and 1921. In
1920 the percentage of losses was
1874 per cent of premiums; in 1921
it was 23.5 per cent, and in 1922
the percentage of losses was SAB
per cent, says the Reno Journal.
According to the reports in the
controllers office, twenty-eight old
line companies are now operating or
licensed in the state. They carry a
total of 1889 policies aggregating
insurance of $24,519,466 the prem
iums for the year just closed being
$645,039, and losses incurred to-
falling $350,056.

GEORGE RUSSELL SR. OF
ELKO SUFFERS STROKE

George Russell Sr., one of the
most prominent and best known cat
tie men and merchants of the state,
was suddenly stricken Tuesday after
noon with partial paralysis and is
lying at his home in a serious con-
dition. Mr.. Russell is suffering from
a blood clot on the brain and his
recovery is said to be doubtful.
Mr.. Russell is 81 years of age
and for many years has been closely
identified with the development of
Nevada. His extensive stockraising
business, conferred chiefly in a great
ranching property in the vicinity of
Battle Mountain, was augmented
several years ago by the acquisition
of the George Russell Co. mercan-
tile business in Elko, one of the
largest general stores in the state
and probably the largest in eastern
Nevada.
At this writing he is in sub
conscious condition, but is suffer-
ing no pain.--Elko Independent.

RADIO IS BIG HELP ON
THE FARM, SAYS RANCHER

The value of che radio on the
farm has already been demonstrated
to Webster Patterson, LamoilIe
rancher, who has a set installed at
his home in the valley. Mr.. Pat
terson states that the weather re-
ports which are broadcasted daily
from the United States Weather
Bureau in San Francisco and Los
Angeles are big help to him in his
work, and these alone justify the
installation of the set on any ranch.
Mr.. Patterson predicts that the
radio will soon find its way to
every farm house in the country,
for the concerts which are broad
casted every evening make life on
the farm much more enjoyable, and
many times lectures are delivered
by agricultural experts which are Of
immense value to the rancher.-

TWO ARE INJURED IN
AUTOMOBILE WRECK

A broken steering gear and fast
driving resulted in the turning tur-
tie of the car in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Hanson, Miss Luella Buckley,
Miss Irene Hardy and Ross Hardy
were returning from a dance at
Hazen.
The bolt that holds the steering
gear came loose, allowing the front
wheels of the car to spread. Owing
to the rapid speed the driver was
unable to control the car, which ran
into the loose gravel along the side
of the highway, causing the car to
turn over twice.
Other cars returning from Hazen
found that Mr.. Hardy was pinned
beneath the car while the others
had been thrown clear. Miss Buck
ley was thought to be dead and was
placed in one of the cars as was
Mr.. Hardy and rushed on to Fall
Ion for medical treatment. Mr..
and Mrs. Hanson and Miss Hardy
came on later in one of the other
cars.
Later it was found that Miss
Buckley had just tainted and was
badly shaken up while Mr.. Hardy
was suffering from cuts and internal
injuries. For a time Mr.. Hardy's
condition was considered serious, but
he is now improving and said to
be out of danger. Mrs. Hanson,
whom they thought was unhurt, was
found to have broken collar bone
and several broken ribs. The others
escaped with slight cuts and bruises.

UTAH MAY IMPROVE
LINCOLN HIGHWAY

The Lincoln highway route west
from Salt Lake City to the Ne
vada line will probably be placed in
passable condition for the coming
season at least, and will be used as
a detour while the Wendover road
is under construction, it has been
announced by Preston G. Peterson,
chairman of the state road COM
mission, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
The chances are that, when con-
struction begins ON the Wendover
project we will put the Lincoln
highway route IS it no wstands in
fairly passable condition across the
state," said Mr.. Peterson. "While
1t is unusual for a detour to be
used so far from the construction
work itself, the fact remains that
this is an entirely unusual stretch
of roadway that is planned. Under
this arrangement, if it is perfected,
the government will stand its "a per
cent of the construction of the de-
tour, which is essentially a portion
of the cost of construction on the
Wendover road.

RATTLE SNAKE GIVES
TOURISTS SOME PLEASURE

A couple Of tourists, man and
wife, were greatly excited when
they saw three-foot rattle snake
cross the road on Washoe hill. They
hailed the driver of the first car
that appeared and sought his assist
ance in killing the snake, which had
taken refuge in a pile of rocks
and was treating all corners to a
concert peculiarly his own. Soon
more than a dozen cars were parked
along the road and the occupants
witnessed the dislodging and dis
patching of the reptile. When he
felt that it was safe, the tourists,
who "had been looking for that
fellow for month";" took the rat
ties as souvenirs, using a cold chisel
and hammer in detaching the
natural music box from the snakes
tail.-Carson News.

BOY SHOWS NERVE WHEN
LEG is BROKEN IN FALL

It is going to be a quiet vacation
for Jackie Lewis, 10-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Lewis, for the
other day Jackie fell from the roof
of building on which he and his
pals were playing and broke a leg.
Jackie was wearing rubber-soled
gym shoes and as he was about to
jump from the roof to another
building his right shoe caught on a
nail, the right leg was doubled un-
der him and he fell to the ground,
landing on the left foot. "Send for

when the doctor arrived he asked:

The ancient Incas of Peru pos
sessed an efficient calculating ma
chine in the "qnipu." This instru-
ment consistes of a knotted cord
about 16 yards long, containing 100
knots. These knots are divided into
10 unequal sections by as many sill
yer beads, representing the odd num-
bers from l to 10. The sections are
of different colors which were i'm
portant factors in the calculating
process. The silver beads between the
groups represent the even numbers
from 2 to 20. Calculations involving
tens, hundreds and thousands are
possible by this device, which was
first used by the Chinese, later by
the Japanese and must have been
brought to America by Asiatic mi
grations in ages past.

was to be an evening of cards, and
though a few suspected something
was in the wind it was not until re-
freshments were served, late in the
evening, that the real purpose of
the party was divulged. Nothing
was said of the coming event even
at that time, but a carnation, laid
beside the plate of each guest with
two tiny cards attached with ribbon,
one bearing the name of the bride
to-be and the other the name of her
intended husband, proved sufficient
information, and congratulations
and well wishes then few thick and
