“JUST PLAIN JANE”;
TELLS OF TWO
BOXES
What woman or girl is there that
doesn’t love a hope box, where they
can put all the pretty thjngs they
possess ?
Now let us make our minds a hope
box, to keep all of the nice things that
we know and hear of each other.
And good books arc good things to
keep in our hope box, you know they
never talk back or repeat what we
say or think about them and we should
take pleasure in letting our friends
know what wc have in. our hope 'box,
whenever the occasion demands it.
The other box is a locked box—our
lips arc the lids; our tongues the key.
In this box we should put all the mean,
ugly things we hear or know of
others; put them in quick, shut the lid
down tight, and lock, for the more they
arc aired,- the larger they grow, but if
kept from being aired, they will sooi>
smoulder away and save many a char
acter. business and home. Fix these
two boxes and use them and keep the
key yourself. *
JUST PLAIN JANE.

end of an 11 to 12 score when they
played on the local diamond against
the Ycrington aggregation. Pete

had it not been for the costly errors
of the infielders. The heavy hitting
of the Ycrington boys was responsible
for nearly all of their 11 runs.
The next game is to be played here

a return game. Captain Woods be
lieves that his team will be in shape

, VISITS IK VALLEY
ft, S. Springmcyer. special represen
tative ^of the Federal Land Bank of
Berkeley, spent several days of last
week appraising and investigating con
ditions existing in Mason Valley.
Seventeen Lyon County ranchers have
rbcently applied, to this bank, through
the Lyon County Association, for
loans aggregating $116,COO. Mr.
Springtneycr, accompanied 'by a com
mittec of business men, visited each
of the properties that have made appli
cation, and expressed himactf as be
ing favorably impressed.
It is significant that in appraising a
piece of land, the first step taken by
Mr, Springmcyer is to ascertain the
depth of the water table. He states
that the Federal Land Banks will not
advance money where the water is
within 4 feet of the surface, unless
a well organized drainage project is
organized. He states that this valley
is badly in need of drainage today.
In the four states covered by Mr.
Springmeycr’s territory, comprising:
the 11th Federal Reserve district, this ■
bank has negotiated loans totaling j
$28,000,000 and of this amount less '
than $5CO.<X)0 is in Nevada.

HIGH WRIER BREAKS I
THE FOX OHM
The Fox dam on the liast Walker
has finally' succumbed to the high J
water of the stream, 20 feet of the
structure being washed out yesterday.
Frank Robinson was at the dam
early today with a gang of men and
teams ready to attempt repairing the
dam but this plan has been abandoned,
nd arrangements have been made to
secure w atcr from the Greenwood ditch
to supply the Fox ditch. Engineer

tion district, has been quoted as say- ,
ing that 25' men wjth scrapers could
cut between the two canals in four or
five days.
.This emergency cut between the two j
canals is regarded by many as the j
forerunner of the weir and consolidate ■
ed ditch system that must eventually;
come and very vrobably during the!
present season.

Michigan, on 'December 13th. 1855 |
She was educated in that State, anti
graduated from the Albion College.
Michigan, having been a classmate, of
Mrs. Anna Howard Shaw, the famous
woman lecturer of the East: and also
of Mrs. Emma Osborne, of this
place.
It was through the persuasion of
Mrs. Osborne that she came here to j
live in 1876. Soon after coming she |
was employed to teac'ii the pitblfr j
school in Ycrington. then known, as j
Greenfield.
Among the pupils who "went to
school” to “Mollic' Stevens, as she was
known here, were Mcsdamcs Ella;
Brooks. Charlie Perry. Hattie Little.
Tracey Swett and Cbas. Hiilnin. re
siding in this valley and Frank Baker,
now of Mina, all of whom recall her
conscientious work as their teacher
with deep and kindly appreciation.
After teaching one term in Mason
Valley, she took charge of the school
in Pine Grove, then a lively mining
camp, where she was married to f. \V.
(Millie) W ilson, on April 10, 1878. and j
where she anti her husband resided
until 1^02. when they moved-iu. Nur
dyke, where they had large land
holdings, for the dual purpose of im
proving those lands and in order that
Mr. Wilson might he in a position to
lake a more active part in the opera
tion and management of the ."Wilson
Flpttr Mill,” as ii was then known:
and there is where she has lived with
her husband, surrounded by. family and
friends, in peace and contentment, for
the last twenty years, until her sad
demise, which occurred at their home
on Wednesday last, about 4 o’clock in
the afternoon.
Mrs. Wilson left to mourn her de
parture her loving husband and their
three daughters, Mrs. Daisy Patteson.
Ms. Amy Brown and Mrs. Beth EMis,
also six grandchildren, of whom she
was. very fond, all of whom reside in
this part of Nevada, She was also
the mother of one son, Fred Wilson,
now' decascd, who grew to maturity
and passed way in 1912. He was her
only son. and consequently his un
timely death was a sad blow to the
mother, who now lies in her grave
beside him.
Mrs. Wilson was the fortunate pos
sessor of a trained contralto voice of
unusual quality and power, and during ]
her earlier years here, freely gave of'
her talent for the uplift of the com-!
munity. singing at the church scr-1
vices regularly, and at patriotic gatli-'
erings, and frequently at burial ser
vices, always ready on call to help, in
the true spirit of the great West,
where her life had been cast, and I
which she soon became in perfect j
harmony.
The funeral services, at which Kev. j
J. A. Dixon officiated, were held*at
the home, at Nordykc. Sunday after
noon. and attended by a large con
course of old-time friends and relatives.
The exercises were deeply impres
sive. and on the whole, comforting to
the. bereaved family.
After the services the remains Were
interred in the Wilson family plot at
the F71m Tree Cemetery, in the south
and of Mason Valev. where real rest
is now her portion.
