PIONEER OF RENO
DIED SUDDENLY

That there may be room for a
great community gathering at the
bier of George w. Mapes, banker,
land owners and stockman, who
died at his Ralston street home
in Reno Tuesday night after brief
illness, funeral services will be con-
Quoted on the lawn of the Mapes
home Saturday afternoon if the
weather permits. The remains will
lie in state at the home until the
day of the funeral.
Although he was apparently
strong and in good health up to a
few hours before his death, Mr..
Mapes' advanced age-he was
ninety-millitated against his recov-
cry from a heart attack suffered
by him Monday night.
He showed improvement yester-
day and slept well throughout the
day, encouraging those who had es-
tablished vigil at the bedside.
But at nine o'clock last night, he
awakened, requested that the lights
be dimmed and then passed quiet
ly away.
George Washington Mapes was
born in Niagara county, New York,
ninety years ago, but when fourteen
years of age removed with his par
ents to Michigan. He worked upon
the family farm in Michigan dur
ing the summer months and attend
ed school during the winter, COM
oleting his education in the Con-
gregational college at Olivet, Mich.
About the time he was completing
his education he heard the call of
the West, and in 1854 he started
for California by steamer. In Cali
fornia he engaged in placer mining
in Sierra and Nevada counties, but
net with only varying success.
1t was in 1859 that Mr.. Mapes
entered the stock-raising business in
Sonoma county California, and from
that date until the time of his death
that industry has always been the
one which called for mos: of his
time. His cattle and ranch interests
began to grow, and in 1863 he re-
moved to Plumas county, California.
He maintained his ranches in the
Sierra valley for many years, but
began to make Reno his home TO a
considerable extent. He had lived
here entirely since 1880. He special
lied in Durham cattle and became
a highly successful breeder of that
strain.
Beef cattle furnished to Virginia
City and Reno came from his ranch
es for many years. Up until the time
Of his retirement from active par
ticipation in business he was re-
cognized as one of the leading
stock-raisers in this state aud East
ern California.

GOLD DUST PAYS
FOR MINE NEEDS

A reminder of the earliest days of
Nevada mining, when it was COM
non sight to see a prospector pay
for his supplies with gold dust, was
the coming of Arthur Alley, Lee
curry and Eugene Kreuger. They
arrived yesterday from the Pine
Forest range with their summers
cleanup, to buy supplies for their
winters work, paying for their sup
plies with gold dust. 1t was all the
money" they had, and it was good
enough.
The men have been placer mining
steadily all season, and while the
amount of their cleanup is not
made public the amount of gold
they brought in was sufficient to
cause quite a sensation.
After resting a few days in town
they will return to their diggings
with their supplies and put in the
water working their claims. Dur
ing the winter much Of their time
will be spent in tunneling along
the bedrock, the ground in the tun-
nels not being frozen.

THE SOLUTION

They told us that little row
OF books. In length five feet or so.
Would teach us all we need to know
To keep US going right
But still the going seemed so rough
We found five feet were not enough
To solve the human problems tough
That gather. left and right
But books keep pouring from the press
To ease humanity's distress.
Until we feared a slight excess
OF authors old and new.
We looked for consolation sweet
In phraseology SO neat
Instead of reading just Ave feet
We read a mile or two.
And still the problems all profound
In grim persistence hung around.
Instructions that In books abound
Did very little good.
So when we sang little song,
We faced our toll with purpose strong
And happily we logged along
And did the best we could.

MAKES A permanent CHANGE
Why EGG, Once Boiled to Hardness
viii Not Soften With Drop
In Temperature.

An egg contains large proportion
Of albumen. intended by nature fol-
the nourishment of the growing chick.
This albumen belongs to a class of
substances which have the popularity
of "coagulating" or turning solid when
exposed to certain degree Of heat.
The action is a permanent chemical
change, and these substances will not
again soften with a drop In tempera.
ture For this reason, scientists ex'
plain, the boiled egg hardens.
II Is, too, for this reason that It is
impossible to cook an egg on the top
of high mountain, for there, owing
to a lesser atmospheric pressure, the
water bolls at lower temperature,
and this temperature being under the
"coagulation point" makes 1t impos
sible to 'cook" an egg.

WORLDWIDE BITS
IN SMALL CHUNKS

A consignment Of oak was sent to
Europe. 1t was found to be wormy
and there was no market for it until
the consignor happened to visit an
antique furniture factory. The
manager Of the factory was busily
engaged in manufacturing antique"
grandfather clocks, boring the
wormholes by hand. He was very
glad to buy the wormy oak and paid
a much better price for it than for
sound oak. A profitable connection
was established between the export
er and the antique manufacturer.

Do you want to become q real
honest-to-goodness hophead?
If you do, then all You have
got to do is to secure quantity Of
certain brands Of whisky that are
being sold in Reno, and the desired
results can be secured.
The new bug juice is known as
synthetic whisky and from analysis
of samples that have been made it
has been found to contain ether and
in some instances ether and cocaine.
Either brand of the synthetic
whisky will have the desired effect,

HOW:

HEAT is WASTED THROUGH
FAULTY FURNACE SYSTEM.
In heating houses we really
use ten times as much coal as
Is necessary" Charles p. Stein
metz. research expert for the
General Electric companJ, said
recently In a contribution to the
coal number issue of the Survey
Graphic.
I'VE could save nlne-tenths of
1t, but we probably will not do
so until forced to 1t by fall
ing coal supply, for to save
would require a radical change
In building construction.
Usually over 80 per cent OF
all the heat from our furnaces
Is lost. Although we. must re-
place the foul air with fresh air,
there Is no reason why we
should throw away with the foul
air all the good and valuable
heat which 1t contains and not
supply new heat to the fresh air.
If it were properly arranged we
would take the heat out of the
foul air before we exhaust 1t,
turn 1t into the incoming fresh
air, and so heat the incoming air
by the hear Of the outgoing
warm air.
This recovery Of the heat Is
called the regenerative system OF
heating. We could do this by
passing the outgoing warm air
around the outside Of the pipes
which bring In the fresh air and
so warm the latter by the former.
by proper building construc-
t,on the loss could be made
slight, so that a very small
amount of heat would warm the
house; so small, indeed, that 1t
would be economical to heat
houses electrically; economical
to own a house without Chin
ney, even though the price of
electric energy must always re-
main many times greater than
the price Of coal, considering
the same amount of energy"

Scottish Barnyard Freak.

A cocks egg is certainly a freak Of
nature, yet an authentic report from
Forfar, Scotland, states there is a Sus-
sex-Leghorn cock that has taken to
initiating his sisters and wives and
laid some diminutive eggs. 1t may be
nature has been a little uncertain az
to the birds sex and endowed It with
more of the female than the male
makeup in Its anatomy. The owner
was certainly puzzled at first to ex-
plain whence came the little eggs, per-
feet In shape and form but without
yolk. So the rooster was isolated and
in the privacy Of its own coop 1t con-
tinued to produce eggs. This bird has
certainly something to crow over for II
II not every cock that can lay an egg,
even Of bantam size.
