SAM AREN'T FILES
FOR CONGRESSMAN

Samuel Arentz filed his nomination
papers as a candidate at the republi-
can primaries for the congressional
nomination yesterday at the office OF
the county clerk of Lyon county, says
the Yerington Times. Mr.. Arentz inn
mediately after filing his papers left
for Ely, where he has mining inter-
ests which require his attention.
Mr.. Arentz states that the crop
shortage in Smith Valley will be
very serious this year. Out of l96
acres in alfalf he has harvested fifty
tons of hay this year, whereas the
normal yield should be 500 tons.
Other ranches there, he states, are IN
similar condition. The Plymouth
ranch will put up about 200O tons of
hay.

TROUT
CAUGHT AT LAKE
Indian Lad Catches 80 Pound
Mackinaw Trout at Lake
Tahoe Sunday Afternoon

A Mackinaw trout weighing thirty
three pounds was caught by seven
year-old Indian lad at Lake Tahoe
Sunday and is said to be the largest
fish taken from the Lake Tahoe wa
ters this season and equal in weight
to any trout ever caught there.
The lad was fishing with his ia
ther at point off from Bijou. Af-
ter hooking the monster trout his in
stinct told him that he had a prize
and turned the job of landing the
trout over to his father. The boys
father, who is an expert fisherman,
spent some time before he finally
landed the big trout into the boat.
When the thirty-three pound trout
was exhibited at Bijou a short tine
later, considerable excitement pre-
vailed among the tourists and camp
ers in that section.

NEVADA HOLDS
A new RECORD
Greater Percentage of Neva-
dams Attend State Univer-
sity Than in Any State

4 tFrom Christian Science Monitor.)
By continual looking up, the state
/ of Nevada and its university have
raised in the sagebrush a distinctive
educational institution.
The University of Nevada has a
larger proportion of its common
wealth's population as students than
has any other state university. Al
though sixth largest in area, with
her 10000 square miles of noun
tain, desert and fertile valley, Ne
vada is the smallest state in poula-
tion. Eorty-five cities in the United
States boast more residents than the
$4,000 persons who live within the
borders of Nevada. Yet one of every
$50 of these ranchers, miners, bust
ness and professional men, and their
wives and children, is a student in
the university now.
In this proportion, the University
of Illinois, for example, as the edu-
cational institution Of one of our
largest political subdivisions, would
have an enrolment of $4,000 from
that state alone. The enrolment at
Illinois is about 5000, of whom a
considerable number are from other
states.
That so large a proportion of the
states poulation is represented does
not mean that the Nevada student
body is provincial. Although 52l of
every county being represented, there
the S55 students come from Nevada,
are also students from twenty-three
other states, two dependencies and
six foreign countries.
The pioneers who followed the COW
cred wagons across mountain and
desert to build homes in Nevada and
dig gold and silver from its noun
tains had high ideals of education.
When, in 1864, the state eons.itu-
ton was drafted, provision was made
for the establishment of state uni-
versity.
In 1886 the people, finding that
the population was centered in the
western part of Nevada, moved the
school from Elko to Reno, the me-
tropolis.
The greatest benefactors Of the
institution have been Clarence W.
Dlackay, president of the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable company, and his
mother, Mrs. John w. Mackay of
New York. Through them wealth
mined in the great Comstock lode ut
Virginia City, New, by Mrs. Mack
avs husband has been returned to
the state to aid in the education Of
its youth.

son valley that will not be cut for
hay, but which would make excellent
feed for sheep and cattle. This feed
is beginning to dry up and will not
be of much value few weeks hence.
To transfer the stock from mountain
ranges that are anything but good,
to the feed now available in Carson
valley is the reasonable solution, but
the quarantine regulations will not
permit it.
1t is stated that considerable num-
bers of steers now on the ranges
could be made ready for market on
the feed available in Carson valley
at this time, and if marketed in
this manner would allow the saving
of large amount of hay for feeding
this winter. The quarantine regula-
tions will not permit this plan, and
no assurance is given as to when the
stock may be returned to Nevada.
The recent flare-up of stock disease
in California county and the find
ing of the carcass Of a deer infected
by the disease has caused appre-
hension of the quarantine officers.
Wild reports were circulated here
last Saturday that a herd of sheep in
Alpine county had been found in
fected. The report was unfounded.
Then again another band in Gala
veras county was reported infected.
Inspection showed that because of
shortage of feed on the ranges, the
sheep had grazed on wild gooseber-
ries and the thorns had caused a
number of them to have sore mouths.
This was ascertained by Henry Bruins
who motored to Blood's station Sun
day.
Quarantine officers prohibited the
entrance of milk or cream to this
valley from the dairies of Alpine
county. Through pleadings properly
presented the officials finally agreed
to allow the entry Of dairy products,
providing the dairies were inspected
once a week by a veterinary sur
geon. This is being done and cream
continues to be shipped to the Min
den creamery from Alpine county.
Last spring livestock owners Of
this section that own or use summer
ranges in Alpine and Mono counties
were apprehensive of impending diff
ficulties when the time arrived to
return stock to Nevada. 1t was not
a question of decision, however, but
one of absolute necessity. The stock
had to be fed and the mountain
ranges were the only place that this
could be done during the summer
months.
Unless the foot and mouth disease
in counties adjoining Alpine clear
up within the next few weeks allow
ing a modification of the quarantine
regulations, the stockmen of Carson
valley will face a grave situation.

AUTUMN JONES
dies SUDDENLY
Passing of Young Man Brings
Widespread Sorrow; Fun
eral Held Here on Tuesday

Autumn Gritty Jones, a widely
known man in this section, died at
Yerington Sunday morning following
an operation for appendicitis which
he underwent last Friday
At his home in Smith valley Mr.
joJnes was taken i'll, but did not be-
lieve his ailment was anything seri-
Gus. Consulting physician he was
pronounced to be suffering with ap-
pendicitis and went to Yerington inn
mediately to undergo an operation
1t was found that his appendix had
ruptured and peritonitis had already
set in. He fought bravely to live but
death came early Sunday morning.
Autumn Griffith Jones was born
in Carson valley October 8, 1884 and
was the son of the late David Jones
who was among the very first to set
tie in this community. In 1911 he
purchased a farm in Smith valley
and since that time has resided there.
He was a young man of highest
ideals, splendid citizen and was
held in the highest esteem by a
Gardnerville Methodist church Tues.
wide circle of friends.
The funeral was held from the
day afternoon and was attended by
hundreds of friends from Smith val
ley as well as from this section. At
the church Rev. Bronson officiated
at the services while the Odd Eel
lows, of which he VISA a member, had
charge of the services at the Genoa
cemetery where interment took place
in the family plot.
Mr.. Jones is survived by a heart
broken widow, besides one sister,
Mrs. Lloyd, and four brothers, David
NJ. Jones of this valley, Owen Jones
of Oakland, Ed. Jones of Piedmont,
Cal, and Thomas Jones who resides
in the East.
The passing of this sterling young
man has brought widespread sorrow
throughout this section. He had ev-
erything to live for and was ambi-
tious to succeed in his farming ven-
ture in Smith valley. While a resi-
dent there he took active part in all
activities for the betterment of the
community and was ever ready to
give assistance to all legitimate en-
terprises of local nature. His un-
timely death is regretted by all

GODS PROVISION
LUTHERAN THEME

In all the ages the genius of man
has been worshipped. But probably
in no other age of the world has the
worship of human reason been so
great and widespread as it is now.
Progress has been great fin the past
century, and the universal cry is:
Great is the genius of man." When
the geologist digs stone out of the
earth and declares that il required
so many millions of years for it 20
form, hundreds of credulous people
are ready to exclaim; Overthrow
is the Bible account of creation"
Reason is truly wonderful gift
Of God, and it is given for man to
use. But to put reason in place of
God is idolatry. But "leaning unto
their own understanding" is univer-
sal with the people of this enlight-
ened age. The prevailing opinion is,
that as society is constituted today
and in the race of competition every
one must be the builder of his own
fortune, and God has nothing to do
with 1t. That is a practical denial
everyday life. Men are no more
OF Gods providence in the affairs of
content, like our forefathers so large
ly were, to make an honorable living
IN moderate circumstances, but rath-
er aim to get rich in the quickest
and surest way possible. And the
result is that insanity and nervous
diseases are dreadfully on the in
crease. Or, when trusting in reason
fails, despair and suicide follows.
Leaning to ones own understand
lng,' Proverbs 3, must be registered
as one of the greatest evils of our
day.
Basing his remarks on the Feeding
OF the Four Thousand, Mark 8, 10,
Rev. Felten will show that there is
a better staff to lean on, namely,
The Providence of God" a staff
that will not fail when all else fails.
Services at Trinity Lutheran church
will begin at 1890, preceded by Sun

HARRY RECORD
IS JOKE VICTIM
Gets an Eyefull and Learns
Much About Imported Fish
ing Tackle From Phillips

Harry Record, who has covered
this territory as a travelling sales
man for a wholesale hardware house
for the past fifteen years, has quail
fled as an expert judge of fishing
tackle of the more exclusive sort.
This was brought out from the
fact that Chas. Fulstone and Chas.
Lewis of Jacks Valley commissioned
Mr.. Record to secure for them a
complete outfit similar to one owned
by f. J. Philips, and of foreign de-
sign. Phillips, according to informa-
ton furnished Records, guarded his
new tackle with jealous care, not
wishing it initiated by anyone in this
neck of the woods. The job passed
to Records was to gain confidence of
Phillips and through some hook or
crook, get a slant at the exclusive
outfit and then search the market
for a duplicate for Mr.. Fulstone.
Harry Record is a born diplomat
and he has spent several months get
ting close to Mr.. Phillips, but some
how every time fishing tackle was
mentioned the latter frowned and
changed the subject.
Monday night Mr.. Record made an
appointment with the owner of the
exclusive fishing tackle and took
Louis Ginocchio along to help in his
scheme. Someone had told Record
that the outfit was kept behind a
certain door in Phillips office. AS
usual Phillips would talk on every
other subject but what Record want
ed. Finally he was informed that the
tackle was purchased in Holland by
Richard Kirman of Reno. Patents
were slow in being issued and re-
quest had been received not to ex-
hibit the outfit until notification of
the issuing of patents had been re-
ceived. However, Record was such a
good fellow that the promise would
be ignored just in this one instance.
The blinds in the room were closely
drawn and Record registered ex-
treme qualification of his final con-
quest. The tackle was brought forth
and Record registered again. Not
Oh conquest, nOWeNef, Dut VI HlOTtlil-
cation, because after one slant at the
exclusive tackle it did not take more
than a second for him to realize that
for months he had been made the
victim of well laid plan of decep-
ton at the hands of three clever
joke smiths. The exclusive" tackle
was made from a small sized tele-
phone pole, with part of washing
machine for a reel. A big wire ca
BILE and block and tackle completed
the outfit.
Harry Record can swear and he
did so; he laughed and cried. He
declares that he will never again
spend three months seeking to see
exclusive fishing tackle but will con-
fine his sales to the regular kind.
While not busy he swears he will
spend all his time cooking up a prac-
teal joke to be sprung on Chas. Full
stone, Chas. Lewis and E. ]. Phillips.

The Carson river situation, with
regard to the rights of the New
lands project to certain of it's stored
flood waters, will be fully considered
by the local irrigation board next
week, at which time the local water
users will receive the advice of their

The opinion of local board Off

essential facts is reached that an ad

the federal court at Carson City, fol-
lowed by stipulated agreement,
which will effect a determination of
all rights upon the river without the
courts, such as occurred in the case

of the Truckee river.
