his office is constitutional one, and
that if his salary was withheld he
would be deprived of the means of

resentation. Territorial delegates,
however, are not constitutional Off

several persons lost their lives IN the Washoe

edge Of one, and once stood on the top Of
the mountain and cav the terrific scene OF
an immense volume of water rolling down
the canon beneath me. The fits.
sign of them is the sudden gather
ing Of small, dense black cloud
on the mountain, near the top, and gener-
ally at the head OF a canon. Soon the cloud
dashes itself upon the mountain side with a
gyratory motion. 1t looks like huge fun
mel drawing immense quantities Of water
from the clouds and pouring II in a cascade
upon the side OF the mountain. These waters
uproot trees, and have known rocks weigh
ing tons carried an eighth of mile by the
torrent. In one case the water In the canon
leading from the cloud-burst was 30 feet
deep. These phenomena are different from
anything ever heard occurring in other
parts Of the world. They occur when the
sky is elsewhere clear and cloudless. From
the first gathering Of the cloud TO cloud
less sky again seldom exceeds 40 minutes. ."

But that department could not have
given her loaf of bread or Il dollar Of
money for her immediate relief. She
could have obtained coal, but she and

might have got medicine, but her sick

She might have been cartcd of to the
