ruE COUNTY REPUBLICAN TICKET

At the Republican county conven-
ton held last Saturday ticket was
nominated which is composed Of good
men and should command the united
support of our party.
Mr.. r. HI. Buell., the candidate for
Representative, who was chosen more
particularly by the farmers of the con-
vention, is gentleman of good abili-
ty and will make a good Representa-
tive. He is i'm favor Of the Railroad
legislation so emphatically demanded
by the producers of this region, is a
sound temperance man and i'm favor of
the enactment of such laws as will
carry into full force and effect the pro-
hibition amendment. He has had a
large experience i'm business life which
will be of service to him as legisla-
tor. He has resided upon his farm in
this vicinity for period of eight or
more years, and has commanded the
respect and esteem of his neighbors
and larg circle of acquaintance
Judge H. S. Cunningham, the can
didate for county attorney, is a young
lawyer Of ability and promise and will
zealOusly guard the legal interests of
our county. During his term of Office
rs Probate Judge, which position he
filed i'm this county a few years ago,
he showed that he had a good legal
mind, and was generally regarded as
an excellent officer.
DR.. VIM. Bishop, candidate for
county superintendent, has not only
q local reputation as an educator, but
is known throughout the State as one
Of the ablest of the men who are de-
voting their lives to our educational
interests.
The candidate for Probate Judge,
Mr.. Jonathan Weaver, who has filed
that Office for the last two years, has
given good satisfaction and will, no
doubt, do a. well i'm the coming two
years. Mr.. Weaver is one of the most
popular men i'm the county.
Mr.. Joseph Moore, the candidate for
Clerk Of the District Court, Is reported
to be splendidly qualified for the
Office. Although anew man in Saline
county politics, We believe that upon
acquaintance he wilfprove to be fully
qualified for all the duties imposed up
on him. He is recommended by his
friends i'm the highest terms
Mr.. A. N. Case, of Bavaria, Is the
candidate for county commissioner In
the Third District. He is one of the
Oldest citizens Of our county, fully
understands her wants and interests
and IL honest and competent.
Thus the ticket is presented and We
hope to see it elected, rs We believe
it will BIZ, from the beginning to the
end. This is no year i'm which to
crafty any personal animosites or
spites; IL is the year when each and
every Republican should put his
to the wheel and do every
thing in his power for the success Of
the straight Republican ticket.

THE Democratic party has rs its cam
didate man who, thirty-one years

since retained the same. And suppose
he should be elected and should die
before the expiration of his term Of
Office: The man who would become
President Is proved, by the official rec
Ords ut Washington, to have been
guilty of robbing his own grand-moth-
er after she was dead. Isn't that q
pretty ticket? Hold ii up and look it
over before you vote.

The proprietor of the Sutro Tunnel is
Of the opinion that the hot water which

thousand feet, where the rocks are at &
high temperature; also that there must

ing springs at Steamboat, six or seven
miles distant.
One of the great advantages of the
tunnel is the means it affords Tor drain
ing the mines. The tunnel discharges
about 1900 tons of water every "A
hours. To lift this water to the surface
would cost not less than $4,000 a day.
Some of the water has Il temperature OF
1862 where all the water mingles; four
miles from the mouth of the tunnel the
temperature ranges from 1902 to l35' .
If left to flow through the open tunnel
this water would 50 fill the air with
steam as to make the tunnel impossible.
In flowing four four miles through a
tight humc made of 3-inch yellow pine,
the water losses but 70 of heat. At the
mouth of the tunnel the wateris conducted
60 feet down a shaft to Il water wheel i'll
the machine shop, whence it is carried of
by tunnel /, 100 feet in length, which
serves as tail race. From this tunnel
the water flows mile and a half to the
Carson River.
This large flow of warm water is now
used for many purposes, the first to util-
ize it having been boys who made small
ponds to swim in-pioneers, it may be, in
u system of warm baths,
which may ultimately become Il great
sanitary resort. The water can also be
turned to account in heating hot houses
and for irrigation. The tunnel company
have farm of over 900 acres which,
when properly watered, is very fertile
In course of time there will probably be
many acres of fruit and vegetables under
glass at this point, all warmed and wa
tered by the tunnel water.-Scientitc
