A Sensible bill.

Enterprise: The bill OF Senator
Poujade that provides for the trans
mission of ballots by registered mail
from precincts that cast a small vote,
is of deep interest to taxpayers in
counties OF large area by reason of the
great saving in the expense that at
tends elections. The vote will be
carried as securely as at present, and
the mileage charges, so large an item
in the election bills, will be saved.
This is one OF the measures of economy
that carries with it no hint OF stingi-
ness, and from the fact that no person
will feel aggrieved by its passage, the
bill will doubtless become a law. In
several counties the amount retained
in the treasury by the operation Of
this law will pay the salary of at least
one of the officers for a year.

In the " town talk" of the Enter
prise appears the following:
Morris LEVY have done business
in Virginia for many years, as you
know. and l am exceedingly pleased
at the treatment l have received at
the hands OF this people. But l am
80 deeply interested in business VEN
lures, both in Reno and Eureka, it
may not be alniss for me to make a
few comparisons with regard to the
three towns, basing them upon the
volume of my business and invest
ments. In Virginia City, with a
capital investment Of from $4,000 TO
$751; 900 in stock land it requires all OF
that to do business here), where we
have a payday of over 100000 a
month, l don't do as much business
as / do in Eureka with a capital stock
Of $4,000, where the monthly pay.
roll does not reach $4,000. In Reno
there is no monthly payroll to speak
Of. There | require a stock nearly as
big as / do in Virginia, and my bust
ness is steady. The deductions l draw
from my business experience in the
three towns named is that the bulk oil
money paid for wages in Eureka and
the circulating currency of Reno re-
mains in those towns, while in Vir-
ginia it is shipped away as 500 as it
is received, and goes to make some
other place lively.

special Election rxpen.e..

State Controller Hallock requests
County Clerk Henderson to send him
the original bill presented to and al
lowed by the Board OF County Com
missioners for expenses OF the special
election. As the Clerk has no au-
thority to send the bills, which are
a part OF the records of the Office, he
could not comply with the Controllers
request, but he sent duplicates Of all
the bills allowed by the Commission
ers. The Act appropriating SIS, 900 to
defray the expenses of the election
only required the Chairman of the
Board Of Commissioners to certify the
amount to the State Controller, and
directed that official to draw his war
rant for the amount, but the Controller
goes further than the Act and requires
the original bills for presentation to
the State Board of Examiners. 1t is
possible and very probable. says the
Silver State, il the State Controller can
find any excuse for not issuing war
rants, the counties will have to pay
the expenses OF the election.

MOyABLE SHEEP CAMP.
A Lopg-Felt want-The Progress OF
she World Even sheepherders
Are Thought Of.

William Jenkins has had construc-
ted by N. Chatell and N. Farber,
blaeksmiths in the employ Of Frank
Mattos, a movable sheep camp, says
the Elko Independent, which is Of
neat construction and compact in
form.
A wagon bed Is feet long by s feet
wide, has an arched covering Of heavy
canvas, the four sides and top being
completely protected from the weather
by the cloth. The front has a door
attached, giving the structure the APP
pearance OF a house on wheels. In
side are arranged provision boxes,
water tanks, benches, etc., and in the
back part hunks are placed so as to
form a sleeping apartment in which
the herders can bunk, free from the
discomforts of sleeping out. This
camp will be on wheels with a swing
ing stairway leading up to the door,
offering ready access. During the
Spring and Summer months sheep
men run their herds over a large sec.
ton Of country, remaining hardly ever
more than a week in any particular
locality, and the time spent in striking
camp in the the old way consumed
much valuable time. The present
continuance avoids all this bother,
and shortens the time required to
change quarters.

Appropriations for she support Of
the Government.

The Committee Of Ways and
Means Of the State Senate has re-
ported a bill making appropriations
for the support of the State Govern
ment for the twenty-ffth and twenty
sixth fiscal years.
The amounts called for by the bill
aggregate something over $400 900.
This is exclusive OF the expense OF
the Legislature, which will amount to
about $50, 900 more. This mortgages
the entire income of the State for the
two years and it is doubtful if the
present tax OF 90 cents on the 500
valuation will be sufficient to meet it.
The farce Of fifty or sixty thousand
people, neutrality-suspicious. and Chinese,
attempting to maintain a Government
is rather expensive, and with the value
OF taxable property annually decreas-
ing, except in the counties OF Washoe,
Humboldt and Elko, sooner or later il
will have to end. 1t is plainly evi.
dent that the State cannot acquire
more population or taxable property
by annexation. Senator Stewards
scheme to a part of Idaho has
fallen completely through, and there is
no hope OF getting the eastern slope Of
California. Under such circumstances
there seems to be but one thing left
for Nevada to do, and that is to gel
annexed to California at the earliest
possible moment Silver State.

A Taxpayer seeking Ia~for,na,,op,

Ed. SENTINEL: Can you inform me
when Charley Ladd is to have his
tial, or whether he is to be tried at
any time. IL is now over six months
since he was arrested, and the people
are getting very tired of his living in
the county Jail at their expense. II
the Eureka Con. people don't intend
TO have him tried, why don't they
turn him loose. ! understand that
they have already received some
5000 in coin, all his silver ware and
crockery, a 5000 piano, all his sisters
jewelry, and last, though not least,
his guitar, from which the young man
derived so much pleasure during his
lonely hours in the jail. Can it be
possible that the company has made
another compromise, as they did
with two Of their Secretaries in San
Francisco, who were charged with be-
ing short in their accounts? As the
company has shown no disposition up
TO the present time TO prosecute Laid,
1t looks very much as II some kind of a
compromise had been entered into,
and by some technicality or hocus
pocus arrangement. the young man
would be SET free, which, il they do
not intend to prosecute him, should be
done at once, and thereby save the
county many dollars. TAXPAYER.
I'VE are unable TO give Taxpayer
the information he desires. We know
that the last Grand Jury found an in
dictment against Ladd, and that a
time was set for him 10 plead, but we do
not recollect whether or not he plead
guilty. However, we know that his
case was postponed 10 some time this
month, and that there have been q
number Of s~enseless and unwarranted
continuances from time TO time. This
case could and should have been tried
within thirty days after the arrest OF
Ladd, when all the witnesses were
here. The cause OF a number OF the
continuances in the case has been the
want Of the two principal witnesses,
either one OF whom was absent at the
time the cas- had been set for trial,
and by this means has dragged its
slow length along. We think, how
ever, that the case will be called up
during the session OF the District
Court this month, when, without some
very good reason can be adduced for
a continuance, it will probably be
tried.-ED. SENTINEL.

The Senate seems TO hesitate over
WyckofFs bill fixing Office hours.
The main ground Of objection appears
to be that in small counties the court
house people will get lonesome sitting
in their offices. As the bill is so
framed as to exclude counties casting
less than 625 votes, the objection is
not Of very extended application. In
most county seats the courthouse can
be made a pleasant resort for a few in
innate friends Of the custodians OF the
public records, and taxpayers who
have a lingering suspicion that the
officers salaries are paid them for
their time would probably help the
public servants through the WEAKNESS
OF their vigils by taking turns in loaf
ing around, il by this mean they
could secure their presence at the
place where business is TO be done.
II it is regarded as too trying to the
patience Of the gentlemen who are
paid for being ready for work to oblige
them 10 remain in the offices during
certain hours of the day, compromise
with their comfort might be made by
requesting them 10 be where they
can be easily found during these
hours, and requiring them to be ready
and willing to attend to business when
work pertaining to their duties is
brought to them. The people OF Ne
vada are not disposed to be illiberal as
to salaries they gladly pay enough to
secure good service, but they are not
easily alarmed about the health of
their employees suffering from a few
hours confinement in a well ventilated
office.-Virginia Enterprise.

THAT ORREsPOxD


1t will be remembered that the Eu-
reka Consolidated mine OF Eureka and
other companies have been sued by
the United States for cutting timber
on public lands, and as a result these
companies have stopped mining work.
In the examination Of Commissioner
Stockslager before the Senate Com
mittee on Mines and Mining several
days ago, in regard to the suits re-
commended by him to be prosecuted
against certain companies in Eastern
Nevada for cutting scrubby timber
from the public lands for mining pur-
poses, the Commissioner could not
answer the question as to whether the
special agent sem to investigate the
matter had given the defendants an
opportunity TO state their side of the
case. He also refused to produce GER
tain correspondence from Henry
Rives OF Eureka, assistant counsel for
the Government, on the ground that it
was private and confidential.
Senator Stewart received a letter
from the Commissioner this week, in
which he states that the special agent
did not give the mining companies an
opportunity to state their case, because
he was advised not to do SO by Rives,
Notwithstanding it has always been
the rule Of the Department to give the
defendant such q hearing. Senator
Stewart will have Commissioner
Stockslager ~subpenaed and will COM
pei him, if possible. to produce the
correspondence Of Hayden, the United
States District Attorney of Nevada,
and also OF Rives, upon which his
proceedings were based. The action
Of the Department in bringing
these suits against the mining com
panies is looked upon with great
disfavor by the mining community all
over the coasts. f. Mining and

THE TRAIN ROBBERY.
On Track Of the snppo.ea Rosber

me
The Southern Pacific Company's
south-bound passenger train, No. II,
about s O'Clock, on the evening Of
yesterday, Feb. 22d, was boarded at
or near Pixley station, Tulare county,
Cal, by four or five men who COM
PEELED the engine men to stop the
train at a point about two miles south
OF Pixley, then exploded dynamite I'M
der the express car and robbed the
same. They also shot and killed Chas.
Gaber, and shot and MORALLY wounded
f.. ;. Bentley, both passengers on
said train. The Southern Pacific
Company hereby offers a reward Of one
thousand dollars for the arrest and con-
viction OF each OF said train robbers,
and an equal reward is offered by
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S. express.
THE SUPPOSED ROBBERS.
TULARE, Feb. 23.-Two men, sup
posed to be the train robbers OF last
night, spent yesterday under the
willow trees three-fourths OF a mile
east OF the railroad track under the
bank OF Deer Greek. They have a
bay horse and a brown mare. The
horse got loose and run up the road
north. One man went after it on the
mare, and met Sam Woods of Upton,
whom he asked to assist him. Woods
helped TO catch the horse. The man
was very active and 26 or % years old
and weighed about $50 pounds. He
left the track Of a very broad heel, as
broad as the palm of a hand. A sheep
herder near thought they were horse
thieves and watched them all day.
They were there at daylight in the
morning and at dark at night. The
man looked like a sporting man, and
IA very well dressed. He wore a
white shirt.
Bennett is still alive.

Dams opiu,on of Rancners.

Dan De guile. in a communication
in the Salt Lake Tribune, hits the
ranchers in the Western part OF the
State below the belt as follows:
Our people hope for a big fall OF
snow in March. They say the equi-
noctial storm will make US all right.
Milkmen, ranchers and all others are
more inclined to trust in the Lord in
the matter Of a supply OF water than
in any other. This is doubtless be-
cause the other alternative would re-
quire them to draw upon their pockets.
A rancher has unlimited trust in the
Lord whenever he is asked to put up
money toward the erection Of storage
reservoirs. He then remembers that
he has never yet " seen the righteous
forsaken, nor his seed begging bread"
