Paul Lehman Captures Busy
Little Insects by Thou
sands for Scientists and
Amusement Factories
ONTARIO, Ore, Aug. 10. (8pl.)
Although uU are the musa of much
worry to most picnickers, they have
proved a meant of Income for Paul
Lehman, who llvej aouthweat of On
tario. Mr. Lehman captured ants by
the thousands for entomologists and
amusement factories which frequent
ly send orders for five or ten thou
sand of the small Insects.
Last week Mr. Lehman received a
rush order for flvs thousand ants to
be shipped by slrmall to a laboratory
In New York City and to add to the
difficulties of tripping fna Insects,
they bad to be counted, all five thou
sand of them, before the shipment
wss made. The counting required
several hours, ha said.
Mr. Lehman has found the study
of anta to be an Interesting hobby.
"They have their armies, workers and
a system of constructing their homes,
and they even get drunk once In
awhile,' he reported. Although there
are approximately seven thousand
known species, the harvester and the
hunter ants are tic most common In
this vicinity.
The harvesters gather nothing but
pebbles and the seeds from grain and
weeds which they store In their
chambers for use the following win
ter. They are strictly vegetarian while
the black ants are hunters and cap
ture other Insects for their food.
"Volumes that would fill every
lib ary In this section of the country
have been written concerning ants
and their habits and there Is still
that much more to learn about
them," Mr. Lehman said. -
Resides trapping ants In his spare
time, Mr. Lehman operates the musk
rat farm southwest of Ontario.
Mr. Lehman Is a brother-ln-lsw of
Thomas Hatlett, formerly of the An
telope district, who now assists In
the ant Industry,

Stennetts Visit Carson City
Smallest Capital In Country;
Enjoy Mineral Relic Exhibit
RENO, Ncv., Aug. 17. (Spl. Cor
respondence) The writer and ' wife
drove from Reno yesterday to the
quaint little city, of Carson, known
as the smallest state capital city In
the United State.
The distance ii S3 miles from
Reno, with a well -paved highway
winding through a valley with green,
prosperous looking ranches on both
sides of the highway.
Carson City Is a town of 2000
population, nestling among a mass
of large trees. Many of the homes
are practically new, large and mod
ern, yet there are ' numerous old
homes of the pioneer type still
standing and occupied by families.
We visited the little stone state
capltol building and viewed the many
cases of mineral exhibits and Indian
relics, all of which were presented
to the state by Dr. 8. L. Lee, an emi
nent pioneer physician and surgeon,
who died at Carson City In 1027
at the age of 83. Dr. Lee devoted his
life to gathering this collection of
stones and Indian relics at an esti
mated cost of 940,000. The stones
are all polished, classified and label
ed. It Is claimed to be the finest
Individual collection ever assembled
and no price could buy them from
the state.
Across the street from the state
capltol is the new supreme court
and library building. It Is a hand
some structure built from Nevada
stone excavated at the state prison,
about two miles from the city.
The old government mint, a large
structure. Is near by, but now un
used and offered for aale.
We next visited the state print
ing house and met our old friend,
Joe Farosworth. state printer. Joe j
has held the office for 16 successive
years and the opposition party has
quit putting up a candidate against
htm. Farnswortb Invited ti3 to make :
the trip to the state prison In bis
car. When we arrived there the
guard said he thought we were too
late to go through, the prison, but
when Joe appealed to the warden
he said: "Hell, yes. we'll take your
webfoot friends through and show
them everything we have got.' A
strapping big accommodating at
tendant was supplied and hs piloted
us through the entire building and
pointed out the bad ones among
the 104 prisoners. We were shown
the gallows where they used to hang
them, then the spot where they
later used to shoot the convicted
murderers, and finally the gas house,
the latest Innovation, where ten
murderers have already been put to
death. We visited the prison fac
tory where all Nevada auto license
plates are made.
The prison Is built of atone exca
vated from the mountain side In
which the prison Is built, and In
the prison yard Is a cavern extend
ing back Into the mountain where
the bones and skulls of prehistoric
animals have been found. In the
stone are footprints of three-toed
animals, more than a foot In dimen
sion, which must have carried some
kind of an animal big aa a box car.
All the stone for Nevada public !
buildings la excavated at the prison
by the Inmates. The prison Is well
built, supplied with the latest coll
locklng devices. Is clean, well venti
lated, substantial food supplied, and j
the 101 men and three women seem !
to be pretty well contented with j
their lot. I
From Carson City we went to
beautiful Lake Tahoe where we tra
versed many miles of shore line,
both north, and south. From the
lake we returned to Reno over the
Montrose Incline highway, reaching
an elevation of 8033 feet, passing bp
several snowdrifts. The highway Is
well paved but narrow and unralled,
and there were many places where
my scattering hair stood on end
when I looked directly down thou
sands of feet at the bottomless
abyss. I remarked to my wife If I
fell over the cliff I would die of
old age before I hit the bottom.
The weather ts Ideal, a little warm
at noon time, but cool of mornings
and evenings.
