A PECULIAR ARGUMENT.

The people of Lander county are anxious
to repudiate the bonds voted as a subsidy to
the Nevada Central Railway, because the
road has failed in several respects to keep
faith with the people The Tribune of Satur-
day holds that the bonds should be paid, and
in support of its opinion uses the following
unique argument:
The people of Lander county were very
anxious for the construction of the road,
which could not have been built without the
subsidy. Now that they have the road, it is
bad taste for them to attempt to repudiate
the bonds, even though the railroad com.
pany has failed to observe the law or live up
to its agreements.
The road and the county entered into a
contract to do certain things. The county
advanced $500 900, and the road having sue.
ceeded in draining the tax payers to that ex-
tent suddenly proposes to turn about and
run the road, which is in part owned by the
tax payers according to It's own sweet will
The railroads have reached that pass when
they do not consider any of their agreements
| worth the paper they are written on.

THIS is how the Golden Era looks at it.:
''It is stated that the agents of Fair have
secured the written pledges of majority of
the Nevada Legislature to vote for him for
Senator. slippery Jim has very little faith
in the honor Of his material, and, for fear that
some of it may slip through his fingers he
thinks it best to have the conditions of the
contract laid down in black and white. He
is right. A man who will accept a nomina-
ton on the conditions many Of his supporters
received theirs, will do to watch. Those who
know Slippery JIM best, had much rather
have his bond than his word, and he proba-
bly, measures all other men by himself. If a
few Of these promises to vote for him are
laid before the Senate, that body may take it
into its head to inquire for what considera-
ton these pledges were given, and if the in
vestigation reaches down to the bedrock
facts, Mr.. Slippery Jim Fair may realize that
though man may present certificate OF
election, it does not always guarantee him
tho seat demanded. The Senate sometimes
exercises its right to say who are entitled to
membership"

4 1--we CoRREsPo NDENT. MIR. Thomas
Flynn, the correspondent OF the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, has struck fine field for his
peculiar style of humor in the meeting OF the
Nevada Legislature. Never having been in
the State before, wha; he sees for the first
time strikes him by reason OF its novelty,
and he readily grasps the salient points
which are presented by the lobby as they
work co jointly with the members. Another
point in his favor is that being a perfect
stranger, he has no friends to favor or enc
mics to punish, and sends his shafts On all
sides, as well into the thin skin Of the million
aire as the toughened hide of the most mer-
eenary lobbiest.

THE Nevada press is agitating the subject
of mileage to members Of the Legislature,
and, indeed, it would seem to be time. The
mileage fees now allowed are simply prepos-
ferrous. Fifty cents a mile is the regular rate,
and the members naturally regard it as an
important perquisito. For instance, the men,
Der from Phoebe gets $500; actual expense Of
travel, 1928. The Eureka members get $500;
actual expense, SIS. The members from Elko
get about 800 each. The mileage for MEM
bers from the eastern part of the State aver
ages $500. The member from Reno, who
pays 81 for the ride both ways, is allowed
800 so, and theStorey County member, whose
ticket to Carson and back costs but So, drags
the Treasury for SIT 60. This is an abuse
that calls loudly for reform, and the people
demand that it shall receive it.-[Stock Ex-

THERE is a rumor around the Capitol, says
the Sacramento Bee, to the effect that If the
Nevada Legislature elects Colonel Fair to the
United States Senate, his seat will be con-
tested on the ground Of his use Of the sack,
aud that if the Nevada Republicans shall do
this, some of the California Democrats, to get
even, will return the compliment on General
Miller. If both were turned out, or both
kept in, the political complexion of the United
States Senate would not be changed, but if
one were discarded and one retained, that
fact might make much political difference
But these rumors may not amount to any
thing, for it is next to impossible to prove
such allegations, although it is said that one
Pacific Coast Senator resigned rather than he
put to tho test.

THE proposed amendment of the election
law, embodied in bill framed by Jerry
Schooling, is opposed by the Reno Gazette on
Constitutional grounds. The Constitution
provides that every male citizen aged p can
vote after residing certain length Of time in
a State or County. Schooiing's bill prevents
a man from being registered to-day and
voting tomorrow. Clearly this is good
bill, and man cannot reside six months as
:. citizen in any State until he has been six
months naturalized.

The Production OF SEX AT w HE. W.
Crutcher, one of the largest cattle br eeders of
Nevada, has read the article in the Chicago
Field on ''The Production of Sex at WILL
and has faith in the theory therein explained.
The article is designed to show cattle breeders
how they can have their cows produce heiter
or bull calves, as desired. If the theory
proves to be law of nature, as its originator
or discover believes it is, its importance to
the live stock interests can hardly be over
estimated. Mr. Crutchcr thinks, however,
that the method would be too troublesome

RumOrei Coal Discovery

reported here that a vein of coal two
feet wide was struck on the east side of
Dixie Valley, about seven miles from
Bullion, Railroad District, some time
ago, and that shaft, now about twenty
feet in depth, is being sunk upon it.
The coal taken from the shaft is said to
burn freely, and the prospect of devel-
oping valuable bed of fuel very fat
tering. We hope the find may prove
to be all that rumor pictures it or fancy

an extensive coal-bed would be invalu-
able, and would prove fortune to the
finder.

entered the room and was startled to
see strange picture on a little wall
mirror upon which the moon had shone
during the earlier part of the night. |
The elm was clearly outlined in minia-
ture on the glass, and above the tree
there was the moon shining on the mir
ror, paled but beautiful! This charm
ing rustic scene thus mirrored passed
inspection from one end of town to the
other, until the Capital was in daze
and yet struggling to find a solution to
the strange phenomenon. The spirits
are to be consulted about it as last
resort" L
