"Of course" said Mr.. Downey, "be-

The Toronto man reported much
prosperity in the Dominion, and said
that outside of tobacco, which suf-

crops were record breakers, and farmers
were enjoying good times. He said
that Ontario, which Is dry, had con-

INDIAN CAMP FIRE AS
CROWD LEAVES SHOW

Just as the immense throng OF peo-
pie were surging out of Bio theater
last night a fire alarm was sounded
and but for the action of Sher-
III Nicholson in shouting to the peo-
pie that 1t was only a tent fire in the
Indian camp there might have been
a disaster. AS il was no one got
the least excited
Four squaws, one of whom was
aged about 90, and four children,
one a babe at its mothers breast and
the others ages being about 8 or 4,
we're rendered homeless and without
shelter for the night by their home
being burned to the ground.
City Marshal Jackson furnished
them a place to sleep comfortably
for the night in the city hall
They had no shoes and otherwise
they were poorly clad. Their cases
are pitiful and will appeal TO the
charitableness of the Good Samari-
tans of Ely.
These Indians are not idlers. all
being workers. The father cs the
Young babe works at Ruth and was

The fire was beyond control Of the

quickly. but other buildings were

MOUNTAIN RANCH
LIFE IS DECLARED
BEST N NEVADA

A mountain ranch is the life,
said a lover of the great outdoors
this week. after making the rounds
of a host OF them. The valley
ranches will produce more cuttings
of alfalfa per year. but the noun
tain ranches will produce a greater
crop of enjoyment
In this region the valleys are
infested through the spring ard
summer with mosquitoes and
gnats. They are especially indi-
genous to the valley regions where
there is irrigated or swamp land
upon which hay is grown. especial
ly alfalfa. In the alfalfa fields ii
is a saying among lawmakers that
they breathe mosquitoes. These
are bad only at night but gnats
operate in the heat OF the day,
boring into peoples ears, biting
their foreheads and around the
sweatbands of their hats. Gnat
bites are IS bad as mosquitoes as
10 poison and are generally mis-
taken for them.
The mountain ranches have more
snow but that proves TO their ad-
vantage, as water Is the life of the
farm, and while the valleys some
years are denied their quotas this
never happens up in the hills.
Some of the better sheltered OF
them can raise any OF the more
delicate crops grown in Nevada
such as tomatoes. cantaloupes and
strawberries
They have all the pleasures OF
the simple life and few OF its an.
noyances.

ley appearing as his attorney. Dis
trict Attorney Edwards appeared for
the state. The legal time for pro-
nounoing sentence was waived, so
that the prisoner was brought into

you have been in the navy. said
Judge Mcdonald. addressing the
prisoner. "and l will ask you If 1t is
not true that the first thing you are

The prisoner having replied in the
affirmative the court continued by
asking why a big. active young man
like him should find 1t necessary to
carry brass knuckles and il he did
not think that he could take care OF
himself without them. Self replied
that he could but he had made g mis-
take.

new ADMINISTRATION HOLDING
CONFERENCES ON APPOINTMENTS

To reach an amicable arrangement,
| il possible, for the confirmation OF
appointive officials under tho new
city administration a series of con-
ferences are being held, one having
been held during the last week and
another is scheduled for this evening,
but according to current reports
nothing has been agreed upon.
Attending the conferences have
been Mayor ELECT Alfred Tamblyn
and the three members of the coun-
lcil, all of whom were reelected May
Is, these being Fred T. West, Phil
McKernan and J. w. Russell.
The discussions have been tenta-
tive in the sense that candidates for
the appointive Offices have been spar
ingly mentioned. Mr.. West is un-
derstood to have said that Mr.. Nc
Herman and himself would favor the
retention of all the present staff,
which includes the city marshal and
night watchman. city attorney. city
clerk, police Judge, city engineer
and city electrician, but nothing was
said about the ones who are known
better as employees. 1t Is said that
Mr.. West let it be. known that the
votes of himself and Mr.. McKernan
would be recorded on those lines az
council meetings. Since Mr.. McKer-
nan was present and did not repu-
diate this stand taken by Mr.. West
1t Is accepted that such has taken the
form of a pact between them.
Mr.. Tamblyn and Mr.. Russell were
moro reticent, according to such re-
ports of the meeting as have leaked
out They did not commit them
selves to the extent of mentioning
the names of the persons they have
in mind for these Offices.
The Office discussed mostly was
that of city attorney. Mr.. West did
not say that he would stand pat
through the next four years for the
retention of j. NJ. Lockhart, the in
cumbent, but claimed that according
TO his understanding OF the laws the
tenure of the incumbent was contin-
uous until he resigned. and did not
termiate with the expiration of the
mayors term. y
"If Mr.. Lockhart should resign"
Mr.. West is quoted as saying. I'VE
might consider others. What appli-
cations have you had besides Mr.
Vargas" 7
Mr.. Tamblyn is understood to
have replied that c. A. Eddy had
applied. to which Mr.. West answered
that his appointment would not be
confirmed
The line of talk that followed was
that the West-McKernan bloc would
stand pat for all of those holding
appointment under the Gallagher
administration, which would include
City Marshal George Jackson. Night
Policeman Bud Stroud. City Attor-
ney J. NJ. Lockhart, City Clerk Fanny
Cupid, Police Judge A. L. Parker.
City Engineer Frank Millard and
City Electrician Ed Merrill.
Reports have it that Mr. Tamblyn
had considered the retention of
Judge Parker and that he has list
for appointment to the other Offices
to be presented tomorrow evening.
Tonights conference will either
bring forth an agreement or he the
forerunner OF a deadlock that will
have a possible four years to run.
The new administration will take
Office Monday night. ct which time
the nominations by the mayer are
due
