THE EDITORS AT RENO.
The Visit Appreciated by the PeopI,
of WaShOe

Keno Gazette, Decem Der i 4th
Our distinguished visitors have come
and gone and Reno has assumed it's usual
quiet. The editors were highly pleased
with the reception accorded them, as they
had a right to be. They all spoke in
praise of Reno's hospitality and departed
wiser men and women. The California
Press Association is powerful organiza-
ton, representing as it does one hum
dred and seventy odd newspapers,
daily and weekly, and Reno made
OF each one who visited us a good
friend. Not alone for the attention
shown them, but part of a newspaper
mans stock in trade is to be a close OBJ
server, and if any one thinks they sue
ceeded IN hiding any defects by the recep-
ton accorded them, they are laboring
under great mistake. Ii there had
been nothing gained beyond the point
by Mr.. Fulton in his reply to the toast
of 'State Reciprocity'' regarding the
headwaters of all the principal rivers
being in California, we are all amply
repaid for our trouble, for we think
one and all of them can now see the in
justice to Nevada by having the State line
run where it does, and we are confident
that each of them will lend his voice and
pen in our behalf, when the question OF
annexing that part of California lying on
tire eastern slope of the Sierras to Ne
vada. But be that as it may they have
come and gone, and Washoe County has
made many valuable friends by their
visit.

Los Angeles Express, Decem Der 1 3th.1
The Examiner publishes in it's edition
for Wednesday sensational dispatch
dated Los Angeles, under the head lines:
''State Division Urged; Proposed Action
by the Congress OF Southern California
County Supervisors; An Overwhelming
Majority OF the Delegates Said to Be in
Favor of the Scheme" The dispatch
contains long resolution, which was not
offered to the convention, indorsing State
division.
1t is hardly necessary 10 say to those
who read the report of the proceedings of
the meeting both on Tuesday and We'd
nesday that the question of State division
was never once mentioned, except by
Judge Graf, who at the Tuesday gather
ing said that it was thought best not
to discuss either the harpor question
or State division, and in connection
with the latter question added: Nv e
all feel that this is going to be the dig
gest end OF the State, and some day we
may want the rest of the State as the
tail to our kite, just as we are the tail to
their kite now" That senti ment was
loudly applauded, everyone laughed
good-naturedly and the subject was
dropped.
There never was any discussion of the
subject at either of the meetings; there
was no general opinion expressed on the
subject. The resolutions printed in the
Examiner were prepared by Mr.. Mason

1t begins to look as if the cream of the
racehorse blood of the world will be soon
monopolized by the great Rancho del
Paso breeding farm in this county. A
dispatch from New York says:
"Carbine, the greatest of Australian
racehorses, may come to the United
States. His owner, Donald Wallace. has
failed, and all his horses are for sale J..
B. Haggin, the well-known breeder of
thoroughbreds in California, received a

Three years ago Mr.. Haggin sent DR..

ROYAL BAKING POWDER.

of San Diego, but after hearing the re-
marks of Mr.. Graft he very sensibly never
presented them.
There is absolutely no ground for the
story that "an overwhelming majority of
the delegates" favored division. Several,
marks, declared themselves opposed to
the scheme, as impracticable, for the
present, at least.
Undoubtedly there are O number of
persons in this section who believe 1t
would be good thing TO divide the State;
first, because it would strengthen the
representation of this coast in the
Senate, and, secondly, because of
the great difference in the interests
OF the two sections of the State.
l his coast has only six Senators to
represent it in the Federal Senate, while
the Atlantic Coast has nearly two dozen.
The large States in the West. compared
with the smaller States in the East, will
always put this side of the continent at
disadvantage, so long as the Senators are
selected by States on the present system.
1t Is true also that Southern California has
needS anu demands that are not under
stood or appreciated by our northern
brethren, and with Legislature of our
own, we could, OF course, give more at
tent1on to our own affairs, but it is a mis-
take to give the idea that there is any ar
ranged movement in this section for
division, or even that at this time the ma
Jorlty OF Southern CaliiorninnS favor it.
Certainly the Supervisors at their meet
Ing neither did nor said word to give
ground for the formation of any idea as

They talked Of roads, of the tax on
mortgages and of the Whittier School.
but not word was said on the division
question. So far as the Chamber of Com
merce OF this city is concerned, it has not
discussed the subject, and many of its
most influential members, including, we
belleVe, It's president, are opposed to di-
vision. But, be that as it may the EcuBl-
1heI dispatch does the Supervisors great
injustice and it is calculated to give the
rest OF the State very incorrect opin-
ion of public sentiment in this section.
The only thing Southern. California
protests against is the tendency of
San Francisco to monopolize the
rest of the State and make it
tributary to its greatness. The people
down here are opposed to the corruption
and political dishonesty which character
ICES the northern city; they are in favor
OF freight rates which will allow this city
TO control the territory rightfully belong
Ing to 1t; and they protest against any
discrimination in favor of San Francisco
and against the rest of the State.
Southern California is progressing too
rapidly to feel jealous of it's Northern
nelghbors. 1t is prosperous, contented
and willing to do all it can to advance the
interests OF the entire State OF California.

Director OF the State Board of Agricult-
ure, is confined to his bed, having re-
ceutly undergone an operation made
necessary by an injury to his head sus-
tanned when be was thrown from buggy
several months ago at Tenth and X
streets.
Although rendered unconscious at the
time, it was not thought that Mr.. Han
cock was seriously hurt, and indeed he
was soon attending to business as usual.
Recently, however, he complained of a
pain in his head and occasional loss of
memory. His physicians made an exam
lnatlon, and found it necessary to remove
small portion of the skull where the
brain had been injured.
Mr.. Hancock is partially paralyzed on
one side, though his body is sensible to
the touch. The doctors think the opera
ton performed on his head will remove
the effects of the injury there, and that
the partial paralysis will disappear.

ther, as we are all interested in labor.
j. A. Willard stated that change
in stone would not help labor this
year, as it will cause so much delay
that nothing can be done this year.
That feature might as well be taken
out of the question. If the fight is
continued for year, more damage
will be done to Mankato stone inter-
ests than by dropping it now, as it
would be noised about more. If the
matter is dropped now, the quarries
will not be hurt, because it is known
that the government acts queerly in
such cases. We are not the only city
placed in such position. Duluth
and other places have had the same
experience. The Duluth building was
delayed year, and they are as strong
as we are, and yet they didn't succeed,
although their stone is as good as ours,
from appearance. Ohio stone was
used there. If the matter is dropped
at this stageMankato quarries will not
be hurt. If Mr.. O'Rourke's ire is got
ten up and he makes report that our
stone is no good it will hurt us more.
A delay would be caused, with the
probability of failure in the end. The
more the matter is stirred UP, the
more people abroad will think that
Mankato stone is not fit for other
buildings. The use of Mankato stone
would not be of much benefit, anyway,
as the contract is a small one. There
is no danger of any more buildings in
the city being built of foreign stone.
There would be some satisfaction in
having an outside stone, to compare
with ours. The people of Duluth who
were the most bitter against the use
of outside stone are entirely reconciled
and are even glad that outside stone
was used. The use of outside stone
is not so Objectionable as to warrant a
delay in the completion of the build
ing.
Mr.. Barr stated that the indica-
tions were that if local stone was used,
it would be Kasota stone, and the best
thing to do now is to claim that
KasOta and Mankato stone are the
same.
JnO. @. Noe moved that the matter
be delayed until Mr.. Barr has per-
Sonal interview with Mr.. McCleary,
who is expected here this week. This
was carried.
M. G. Willard presented some reso-
buttons condemning the strike and en-
dorsing Senator Davis reply. He
said that the country ought to rise
up and do what it can to support the

Gen. Pope stated that il was essen
tial that public sentiment be right,
and that it be known that it is right.
He favored holding public meeting
to take action. He explained his
views in regard to the strike, and held
that the public has an interest in
| the running of the railroads, and that
railroad strikes should be unlawful.
The law permits them, but they are
wrong in their ethics. The differences
between the railroad arrangements
and the employees should be settled by
arbitration.
The resolutions had been hastily
drawn, so Mr.. Willard said, and he
withdrew them. Gen. Pope and he
were appointed committee to draw
up resolutions, to report at an adj
journed meeting to be held at 900
o'clock tomorrow morning.
John Klein reported that the COM
mittee on peddlers' ordinance had
visited the council, and new ordi-
nance had been presented by the city
attorney. If the officers will carry it
out, the city will receive some revenue.
The new ordinance will probably not
amount to much, as the officers won't
enforce it.
| II. P. Jensen stated that the en-
forcement of the ordinance depends
much upon the officers. The pro-
| prietor of merry-gO-round had told
him that the officers had said to him
that he might pay S. license, but that
it could not be collected if he didn't.
What are you going to do when the
officers tell people that they can't en-
force the ordinances?
Leo Lamm stated that an auc-
tioneer's license ordinance is needed.
We ought to enforce the laws, and not
stop because we think we can't en-
force them.
Gen. Pope moved that the COM
mittee be continued until satisfactory
peddlers' and auctioneers' ordinances
are secured. This was carried.
M. G. Willard favored making the
license lower and then enforcing it.
j. A. Willard stated that the ordi-
nance should be reasonable, and then
should be enforced. If so, we can
then get revenue, and everybody
will not do as he wants to.
