|GOLD-RUSH SONGS
LIVEN UP PAGEANT
WILL USE BALLADS FROM FAM
Gus COLLECTION IN UNIVER-
SITY PRODUCTION.

Genuine songs of the western gold
rush DAYS, from the collections of
John A. Lomax of Austin, Texas, ma
tionally-known authority on Amer1-
can folk lore, have been received at
the university for use in the pageant
of Idaho history to be presented by
the students June 8, as part of the
commencement exercises.
Many well-known tunes of popular
songs are represented by these bal
lads The songs from Mr.. Lomax's
collection are his original copies,
many of which he has no duplicates
They include such ballads as The
Fools of 49," to the tune of Com
mence You Darkies ALL" Prospect
ing Dream to the air of Susannah;"
:" Crossing the Plains," to the tune
of Caroline of Edinburgh" The
Lousy Miner" to the tune of Dark
Eyed Sailor Hunting After Gold,'
to the air of &c Combo," and " Arrival
of the Greenhorn," to the tune Of
Jeanette and Jeanot.'
Add Realism
While some of the verses will re-
quire editing before they can be sung
in public, there will be one or two
vigorous scenes in the pageant, de-
picting mining camps of the old days,
these rollicking old songs will add
the last needed touch of realism.
One scene will depict the old Idaho
City of 1868, cluster of shacks in
Guiding THE Challenge" bar, the
Jenny Lind theatre, the " Boise
News" hotel, restaurant, a lodge
hall, livery stable, the Wells-Fargo
express office, and miners cabins.
John Hailey's stage is just leaving,
with John Haley in the box. This
section of Idaho is mentioned in one
of the songs of the forty-niners:
/" When you arrive in Placerville or
Sacramento City,
You've nothing in the world to eat,y
no money, what a pity;
Your striped pants are all worn out,
which causes people to laugh,
When they see you gaping round
the town like great big brindles
calf"
These songs were hastily con-
structed during the gold rush and
have been collected by Mr.. Lomax
from correspondents all over the
United States.

DAILY VACATION
Bible SCHOOL PLANNED


Committees from the Baptist, First
Lutheran, Presbyterian, and MethO-
dist churches met Wednesday even
ing to plan for a union Daily
Vacation Bible School for Moscow.
After some discussion it was decided
to invite every church which so de-
sired to cooperate in holding school
for the whole town. 1t was decided
to organize board of education TO
manage the school. Each church par
ticipating would elect two lay repre-
sentatives besides the pastor, who
would be a member exofficio. The
churches are invited to send repre-
sentatives to a meetng at the Metho-
dist church at O'Clock, Friday after
noon and at that time the board will
be organized.
If the suggestions of the committee
are adopted the school will begin on
May % and last for three weeks.
There will be at least four depart
ts-kindergarten, primary junior,
and intermediate.
Last year the Presbyterian church
had very successful vacation bible
school and one year previous the
Baptist church had a good school.
1t is thought that at this time it is
opportune to organize a town wide
movement.

HIGH PRAISE Is GIVEN
TO NEVADA POTATOES

81 have seen nothing west of the
Mississippi in potato fields which
are any better than those which
have examined on the Newlands
tract and in the Washoe valley"
This statement was made through
the Gazette by Fred C. Meier, path
ologist Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture with headquar-
tiers at Washington, who spent Sat
urday in company with Cecil w.
Creel, head of the agricultural work
in Nevada; DR.. Philip Lehenbauer,
of the University of Nevada and
Thomas Buchanan, county agricul-
turist agent, in inspecting potato
fields.
Mr.. Meier is a potato disease ex-
pert and came here at the request of
Mr.. Creel to make investigations.
81 find Nevada potatoes in this
district are affected with masaic and
leaf rool," said Mr.. Meier, diseases
not uncommon to potatoes, but
which should be eradicated. The
way to do this is to use clean seed
and this can be obtained by select
ing clean potatoes and growing the
seed in separate fields"
Mr.. Meier says neither of the di-
seases is bad at this time but
should be watched and eradicated
as soon as possible.

P. j. Corbett, father of James

Joseph Corbett, the noted baseball
player, and of the other well known
sporting men of that name, early
yesterday morning shot his aged
wife and then killed himself.

preyed heavily on his mind.

For over a week the coal in the
Southern Pacific coal yard up at
the depot has been slowly burning,
and so far all efforts to extinguish
the slow blaze, which at times
roars as it crawls under the large
and heavy mass of coal, have utterly
failed. 1t is supposed that spontan-
eous combustion is the cause of the
coal being on fire.
Havana remains entirely tranquil.
Everybody has resumed his ordinary
duties and all are thinking only of
how to recover something of what
has been lost.
The scrub pine forests near Toano,
Elko county, are on fire and has

o'clock the fire bell from the down
town hose house sent out an alarm
of fire and was soon followed by the
sonorous tones from the bell of the
hose house on Bridge street. By the
continuous ringing of the bells it
was supposed the fire was a large
one, but it was found that con-
flagration on Second and Lay streets
had been averted by the timely
arrival on the scene of DR.. Hanson,
a few buckets of water.

MASON VALLEY HOPPER
STORY TOLD BY AREN'T

Ex-Congressman Sam Arentz was
in Carson the other day and in con-
versation told story which proves
that when he sets his mind to it he
is a pretty good story teller himself
says the Carson News. He was talk
ing of the condition of the alfalfa
crop in Mason and Smith valleys,
and said that the recent spell of
warm weather was a splendid thing
for the ranchers. The first crop of
alfalfa, on account of the late, cold
spring, was very short, but since
the first cutting, with the bright
sunshine the lucern has been grow
ing so fast that it is fatal to the
grasshoppers. When a grasshopper
wants to eat some green grass he
jumps to the tip Of the blade and
eats his way downward. In Mason
valley when a hopper tries this stunt
the grass is growing so fast that he
misses his calculation and hits about
two inches from the top of the stem,
battering out his brains on the stalk.
This is good story if you believe
it.
