THE MAYORS SCHEME
For Doing Something That Has
Long Boen G Considered Desirable.
A new METHOD SUGGESTED BY HIM
For Tunnclling tho Iiill for n Rond.
way From the Second Ward TO tho
Valley OF Wheeling Crcclt..It Would
Not Cost Much aud Would IIavc
Many Advantages.

The recent refusal OF the prisoners in
tho workhousc to work on the cleaning
OF the Vigilant engine house cellar has
caused some talk IN tho city about the
prisoners and tho advisability OF send.
ing men to work on things that do nc
good. Mayor Scabright has scheme
which looks like good ono at first
blush. He outlined it 10 an lSTELLI'
GEScER reporter tho other evening. II
has been for years sort OF u dream OF
public spirited citizens that ii the big
Wheeling hill could not be removed, as
there seems little probability now that
it ever can, there might some day BIO u
roadway through tunnel from Tenth
street to McColloch, east Of the hill.
This would give people in the
upper end OF the city convenient access
to that part OF the town and the coun-
try east OF the hill without tho long
drive around tho East Wheeling route
or the tough climb over Fulton hill, and
would let people from the country east
OF town in 10 attend market much more
easily, conveniently and directly than
now. Indeed, the advantages OF such a
tunnel are so many and so apparent
that they do not need to be dwelt upon.
There was several years ago PROPOSE.
ton made in sober earnest to organize
4 company, obtain n charter and con.
struct this tunnel, charging toll to make
up the cost. 1t was thought the in.
come would make handsome dividend
on the investment.
The mayors scheme is little differ
cnt. He says that almost daily men
are brought before him on charges OF
vagrancy or drunkenness, who cannot
pay their fines, and ii fined must 60 to
the hill, where they are source OF
expense to the city without any COM
pensating good. He usually lets them
go on their promising to leave town,
and they do not leave, but arc brought
up agnin in day or two, and he is COM
PEELED finally to send them up TO the
hill, where they are well fed and all
the work they accomplish is solemn
farce.
were thore any gain to the city to
have these men IN prison the mayor
says he could have five or six times rs
many men in the work house all the
time as he now has, and in time tho
tramp nuisance would thus be solved.
His idea is to keep the work house full,
keep the "bums" of the streets and out
OF theway OF temptation to steal or do
wrong, and accomplish a piece OF work
Mt very little cost, which would be worth
big money to the community. He
would put all work house prisoners to
work on the proposed tunnel. They
would not cost any more, ii as much,
rs it now costs to maintain the work
house, and in few years the tunnel
would be completed. THIS. he thinks IS
4 solution OF several questions-what to
do with the "vass." and easy access to
that large section, around the hill"
being two of them.

THE CITY PRISON MANAGEMENT

Scored by tho Fire Committce-Tho Work
on the VIsllant Cellar to be Done by Con-
tract.
The council committee on fire depart
ment had lively meeting last night.
and the members spoke their minds.
The refusal OF the work house prison
ers to clean out the cellar OF the Vigil
liant engine house and the inability OF
Superintendent Rodenbaugh to cope
with their refusal to do the Job. have
already been fully treated OF in the IN
TELLIGENcER. Last night the commit
tee on fire department met to devise
means to have the work done.
The management OF the work house
was hauled back and forth over the
Goals ut lively rate. The law regulat-
ing the workings OF the city prison was
read. 1t plainly states that the mayor
is authorized to order the employment
OF the prisoners on any municipal
works. 1t was repeated in the commit.
tee meeting that one OF tho work house
guards had stated that he'd be id il
he would order the men to work in such
place, thus encouraging the prisoners
in their obstinacy. Chairman Happy,
OF the fire department and Mr.. Wicde-
busch, chairman OF the committee on
city prison, both visited the promises
in question, and stated that while the
cellar is a little muddy, there is abso-
lutely no reason why the prisoners
should think themselves too delicate
for the work. The mud is nowhere
shoe-top deep, and in some places only
covers the shoe soles. 1t is estimated
that ten men can do the job in day.
Ii tho superintendent put the pris-
oners on bread and water ut the time
he said he did, and has been serving
such limited rations ever since, the
men must be pretty nearly broken in,
as fourteen days oil bread and water
would fracture the proudest spirit
While the city may lose the money
which will have to be paid to get the
work done by more robust and less
squeamish labor than is herded in the
workhouse, she will OF course get the
benefit OF the reduction in expenditures
caused by the present scale OF low liv-
ing. Beef, beans and ham and eggs
cost money, whereas bread is cheap and
water costs nothing. The cracks be-
tween the planks will be stopped up
this week, lest the prisoners. having
grown thin, might slip through and be
carried away by the wind.
AS the committee could see no way
out OF the difficulty, in the face OF SUI.

A had Man.

Ellery Dixon, n of the proprietors
Of the Lassen Advocate, has been
proved by a jury to have distinguished
himself more as a horse thief than an
editor. He was arrested as was also
his half-brother, Arthur Sylvester, for
horse stealing. The Northern Stock
Association engaged Hon. Clay Taylor
to assist the District Attorney in prose-
cutting Dixon. The trial occupied %
days and resulted in a verdict OF guilty.
1t was shown that Dixon would get a
band OF horses together in Lassen and
Modoc counties, drive them to the
ranch of his stepfather in Oregon,
changing the brands and dispose of
them. He would then get horses in
Oregon and drive them to Lassen
county and dispose of them in like
manner, making the trips each way
count. His counsel moved for a new
trial but the Court denied the motion
and Dixon was sentenced TO seven years
in the California State Prison at San
Quentin.

An exchange has the following /:
Free coinage means that every man
having 100 ounces Of silver may take OF
send it to the Mint and get it coined.
He will then have in his pocket 1929.
He is a miner and has dug the silver
out of the ground. While he was
digging it out the grocer sold him -four,
sugar, coffee, tea, salt, ETC., to the
value Of $40. The blacksmith sharp
ened his picks and drills. His bill is
81 80. The butcher supplied him
with beef and has a claim Of $40. The
clothier has another claim Of $40 for
articles Of raiment. A bill at the
tobacconist amounts to s. MORE. And
then-it had as well be confessed-he
was in the habit Of dropping in at
" Mixes saloon" occasionally and
taking a nip, and would at times call
"the boys" up. Here is another bill
Of $40 to be paid. So we see $92 80 Of
the original 1929 is already in circula-
ton. What are we-what is that
w r-burdened miner going TO do with
the remainder OF his wealth, for he
has $50 so left2 Will it be locked up
in the U. S. Treasury? Hardly. In
order to prevent SO dire a calamity the
boys will start a bean poker game and
that $50 so will pass into the channels
Of circulation through the regular
medium Of three ices over three duces,
instead Of through the more profitable
but equally legitimate medium of

Commander Schley, according to a
story now being related in the Wash

his boyhood Christmas presents a
handsome bible from a rich aunt.
After a moments reflection, they say,
he examined the volume eagerly leaf
by leaf until he reached the sermon
on the mount, where he found a $40
bill pinned on the page. 1t seems
that Schley read a story of the bad lit
tie boy, away at school, who took with
him a similar gift. When he came
home for vacation his mother ex-
amined the bible and found the S. bill
which she had placed between its
leaves. Thus did she know that her
boy had not read the holy book

keep it out Of the paper" is the
cry which the local newspaper pub
Usher daily hears. To oblige often
costs considerable, though the party
making the request thinks the grant
ing scarcely worth saying "thank you I"
for. A newspaper is a peculiar article
in the public's eyes. The news
gatherer is stormed at because he gets
hold OF n item, and is abused be-
cause he does not get another.
Young men and often young women /,
as well as older, perform acts which
become legitimate items for publica-
ton and then rush to the newspaper
Offices to beg the editor not to notice
their escapades.
The next day they condemn the
same paper for not having published
another party doing the same thing
they were guilty of, forgetting APP
parently their late visit to the printing
Office. The subscriber expects to read
the news and there is always wonder
when. for charity's sake, an item on
the street and in everybody's mouth is
not found in the issue OF the paper

Pullman Car Faxes.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States has rendered a decision in the
case of Pennsylvania involving the
constitutionality and validity of tax
ing the Pullman Palace Car Company
ON a basis proportionate to the num-
Der OF miles Of railroad within the
State over which the company's cars
are run. The Court holds that the
law is constitutional and not in viola
ton OF the Interstate Commerce Act.
According to this decision Pullman
cars running between San Francisco
and Ogden over the Central Pacific
railroad, a distance Of 1888 miles,
would be taxable in Nevada for over
one half their value, the length Of the
railroad in this State being 44S miles.
Possibly, however, the Act creating
the State Board of Assessors and
Equalization may be construed to ex
empt those cars from taxation in Ne.

Another Project TO Build IL Pushed
by Sam Gfls0n.

The Salt Lake Tribune of Thursday
says: There was much disappoint-
ment expressed yesterday about work
not beginning at once on the Deep
Creek road. While this was the case,
there was a feeling often expressed
that the road will be built soon. s.
III. ellison was busy talking up his
plans, and he assured a Tribune re-
porter that dirt be moved for the grade
in less than a month.
1--WE are going ahead" said Mr..
ellison, 4" and by we l mean leading
citizens, and we are going to solicit
subscriptions. 1t is only los miles to
Dugway and % to Deep Creek from
there. We can grade the road for
$500 per mile and after it is built we
can bond it for the stock and iron. II
is time that Salt Lake got there, and
now is the time to do it. This road
means thousands TO this city and We
must build IT."

VIII Try Hops.

Says the Lyon County Times: We
are informed that ver $4,000 hop
vines have been set out in Mason
Valley this Spring, the largest plant
ers being Chas. Bovard and MI.
Clifford. Both OF these gentlemen are
posted in regard to ~hop-raising, as
they have been in the business in
California. There is no reason that
We can see why the hop industry
should not become n Of importance
and profit in this State, and especially
in Mason Valley. The home con-
sumption of the article in Nevada is
considerable, and there is nearly al
ways a market for hops on the outside
at a good price.
