Secrets Kept in Families,
Some Of Whose Descendants
Still Follow Trade

There is no substance which
lends itself with more facility, va
riety and durability of form, color
than glass. Composed of the amp-
lest and commOnesf materials OF
nature, Il is transformed by hui
man skill and taste into objects
which both serve. the, humbleSt
needs and crafty the most refined
tastes.
OF all the peoples which have
made glass a special industry, the
Venetians, for, artistic variety and
quality, are the most renowned.
Although Venice itself gives its
name to the glass as early as 1891
the works in general were removed
by statute order from that city,
and established in the neighboring
island Of Murano, a mile to the
northeast. This was to guard
against the risk OF rires In the
thiciIy populated city and for
sanitary reasons. Murano so
eclipsed all other Italian cities that
none other ever acquired any rep.
utation for glass. It's secret pro-
cesses were ealously guarded, and
the skill Of the workmen in vari-
Gus departments kept, as 1t were,
IN certain families, and transmit
ted from generation to generation.
Among the most distinguished
were the Berovier. the Miotti,
Briati, and Ballerini, some Of
whose descendants are still engaged
In the same occupation in the new
establishments of Salviati and the
Venezia-Murano companies, re-
producing and even rivalling the
artistic dextertty Of their ancestors
Their chief aim was to make
artistic glass exclusively for
beauty; and, secondly, to ornament
and shape even the articles Of
common use so that they should
attract the eyes Of mortals and
delight mankind" This vital
aesthetic principle Of work was the
real secret of the fame and sue
cess Of Venetian glass, as Of its
painting. In making beauty, not

strated by its commercial success
and enrichment OF the state that
the higher the aim of industrial
art, the surer the road to fortune,
as well as to mental delight,
Besides seeking the best mater
ials, and aiming at strength,
delicacy and lightness, which were
promoted by not using lead, as II
the general modern practice in
glass, each mandatory so well
kept its secrets that very little OF
their modes Of manufacture is
known this day.
The state enacted q number OF
measures intended to prevent com

craft to foreign countries and re-
fused to return were condemned to
death, and secret emissaries were
sent to execute the sentence. In
1649 It was enacted that workmen

Pumping Surface Water May
Be Tried in Carson Valleu

While little snow has fallen in
the higher attitudes during the past
two weeks, the outlook for the ap-
preaching irrigation season is far
from encouraging. Ii Is reported
this week that is it will be necessary
to place a water commissioner In
charge of the distribution OF the
East Fork at early date in order to
apply the present flow economically.
Farms having early rights will come
first and after they have secured their
allotments the balance will be dis
tributed to later rights as the case

Most of the farmers of Carson Val

crop of alfalfa will be harvested, but
beyond that no predictions are being

will be filled to capacity, according
to the opinion of those best inform

Nevada Stockmen FaUor
Strict Quarantine Measures

ditions in Nevada warrant extra
ordinary precautions against any
possible chance for quarantine on
livestock and allied products. We
feel that a careful consideration of
what is at stake in our case in this
matter will serve to justify our re-
quest that no action be taken toward
admitting California stock to Nevada
ranges under existing conditions.
Besides the above situation 1t
seems reasenable to consider Ne
yadas position from standpoint of
the financial cost of possible out
break of the disease. For eradica-
tion work and indemnities 1t does not
seem unreasonable to estimate a
need Immediately upon an outbreak
of from $3.50, to 100000 from Nevada.
But a negligible sum is now available
Such a situation would need special
session of the legislature and II
would take a terrific pull to raise
any such sum Of money. probably In
volving material increase In our
bonded indebtedness. II such is even
legally possible. The business Of the
state Is In no position to stand the
increase In taxation which would re-
suit, and business would suffer fol
several years from the hangover /,
deports the Reno Journal.
unlike neighboring states We
would have no other big industries IL
good shape to stand the burden for
the benefit of another big industry
Our bankerst would probably not De

finance the expense OF a possible out
break.
Nevada in case of quarantine Of
the counties along our main railroad
lines. even though the rest Of the
state was not quarantined, would not
be able to market any material part
Of her livestock products. owing tc
the fact that to be marketed such
products from all sections must be
transported or driven through the
counties along the main railroad
lines in order to reach shipping
points"
''The situation is mighty serious"
the statement concludes, "and 1t
would seem but the part of wisdom
for Nevada to proceed most cautious
ly II any modification Of the present
quarantine is even being considered"
After asking that before any step
toward modification be made a COM
mittee from the association go over

further suggestion was made that in

TAKEN BY DEATH

Mrs. Mary Cosser, a resident of
Carson Valley for So years, died at
her farm home near Mottsville Sat
urday, following an attack of paraly-
sis week previous. Mrs. Cosser
had prepared the noon meal as usual.
and when her son, John, arrived
from the field. she did not COM
plain Of feeling Ill. After pouring the
tea she went into the kitchen and a
moment later she called, and her son
found her unable to move. Shortly
following the stroke. she was depriv-
ed of her speech and continued to
sink rapidly until death claimed her.
Mrs. Cosser was native of Lough-
rea, Ireland and was born March
4th. 1S47. being II years and IL days
when she was about eighteen years
of age and for time was employed
at Valley Springs. She married
shortly after arriving here and set
tied on a farm which she has con-
Quoted for over fifty years. Early in
life Mrs. Cosser developed a keen
business sense and through this and
her frugal management. accumulated

Hens MAKING
RECORD HERE

The hens of Carson Valley have
combined in an attempt reach a
record in productiyeness and as a
result eggs are the most plentiful
product on the local market. At
20 cents a dozen everybody is buy
ing eggs and more eggs, but the
intent of the egg eaters pales to in
significance In the race with the
hens, and eggs continue to pile up
at an alarming rate. Tuesday one
local store have forty cases on hand.
A large part of the surplus has been
shipped to Reno, but the Carson VAL
ley hen has competition in other
localities, and packing establishments
have refused to accept any more
eggs for the present. This condi-
tion has not discouraged the hens
however, and eggs and more eggs are
flooding the local market, much to
the worriment of local dealers.

PASTOR FELTEN SPEAKS ON
"THE TITLE ON THE CROSS

Il was custom among the Romans
to write the cause for which a male
factor had been sentenced to death
upon a small board or sign and to
nail this above the head of the cruci-
fed one. This was also done in the
case of Jesus Christ, when He was
crucified. And 1t was a remarkable
piece of writing in many respects.
Just four initials, viz. l. N. r. L.
What do they mean? And this super
scription was written in three langu-
ages In Christ's case, Hebrew, Creek
and Latin. That is deeply significant
and instructive. And what is their
Interpretation?
The Jews, who had falsely accused
the innocent Christ. did not like the
title, which PLATE, the Roman gov
ernor had caused to be written, and
asked him to change it. But PLATE
refuses. Why? He had granted them
their greatest wish and sentenced
the innocent Savior to death. Why
did he not grant them this request.
These and other questions will be
answered in the sermon at Trinity
Lutheran Church Sunday in the third
of the series of Lenten discourses
on the Passion of Jesus Christ Rev.
Felten will take for bis subject The
Title on the Cross" treating that at
some length, as well as the parting
of the garments of Christ by the
executioners. For, casting the eye
from the summit to the foot OF the
cross the attentive spectator beholds
the Roman soldiers dividing among
themselves Christ's outer garments,
but rafting the dice for the tunic, or
undergarment. which was woven In
one piece. This Is also an interest
ing phase of the crucifixion. why
did they not share alike In that also?
An ancient legend concerning Pontius
PLATE. the Roman governor, also con-
meets with that coat.
English services will begin at
1890 o'clock in the morning ana
German worship at 2 p. m. The
choir will sing in the morning de-
votional hour.
A goodly number of Lenten offer
ing envelopes for German relief have
already been turned in, indicating
keen interest also in this manner OF
observing Lent, in spite Of the fact
that it is the third time within a few
months that the members OF the
Lutheran church are giving to this
cause. A friendly welcome always
awaits the visitor at Trinity Luther
an church.

CARSON VALLEY WAS
FLOODED WITH WATER
SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO

EvENTEEN years ago this
- week Carson Valley farmers
were not worrying over any
shortage of water. Quite to the
contrary, however, they were
threatened with great damage by
too much water, when food
waters swept over the banks of
both the East and West fork and
inundated a vast part Of the Val
ley. River bridges were swept
away, roads flooded, the Minden
branch of the v. & T. put out
of commission, and no mail was
received for number of days.
When mail communication was re-
established, 1t was brought by
team around by Sheridan.
The yard of the Gardnerville
school was flooded and one
adventurer made a trip from a
point below Sheridan to Gardner
Vile In boat.
In order to repair and replace
bridges that were washed away.
relief measure was rushed
through the Nevada legislature,
then in session, permitting a bond
issue of $4,000. 1t was shortly
after this that the steel bridge at
the Lutheran church was built.
In contrast to the high water
of that time. today you can wade
across the Carson river without
getting your feet wet.
