commodations for the Populist state

THE HUMBOLDT WATER SUIT.

some ears ago George D. Bliss # Cali
forDia, who owns a large hay and cattle
rancn on tie Humboldt river near Golcolda
brought suit against the late Wm. Dunphy,
G. W. Grayson and many Others having
lands on the river east Of Golconda, to de-
clare Their irrigstipg dams nuisance. The
trial occupied year or more and Judge
Fitzgerald, who tried the case, heard testi-
iDony and arguments part Of the time IN
san francisco for the convenience OF the
lisigaht The testimony comprised several
thousand type written pages and the briefs
Of counsel engaged in the case filed thous-
and sheets Last Friday Judge Fitzgerald
decided the case in favor Of the plaintiff, a.
rardlug him IA, 900 inches Of water when
that quantity of water is in the river.
This decision is Of great Importance TO
the ranches on the Humboldt west of the
Bliss place If 1900 inches of water
gets down to Galconda much
Of it will reach Lovelocks, where farm
log is carried on extensively. East of Col
eonda the water is diverted from the river
mainly for the purpose OF rrigating the nat
ural meadows At Loveloeks the water is
used FIR irrigating grain, vegetable and al
falfs fields. Though the water was appro.
priated at Lovelocks years before many of
the dams and irrigating bitches east of Col
conda were built, the new appropriations had
the advantage of being nearer the head of
the river, and as streams in Nevada, unlike
those in the states, are larger at their heads
than at their mouths, the Loveock people
were left entirely without water for irrigat-
ing purposes in dry seasons.
The case will probably 60 to the Supreme
court, as the defendants have large interests
involved. Reno journal.

A Voice From Nevada.

A special dispatch to the San Francisco
Bee reads as follows:

National Committeeman from Nevada, was
one of the arrivals yesterday eve are
here, he said ito fight to the bitter end for
silver. We expect defeat but we shall
fight just the same. II the party does
nothing for us they must expect defeat
in Nevada. The Nevada delegation, l feel
sure, will remain in the convention. There
is nothing to be gained by starting third
party. If the gold standard is adopted
here and free silver men win at Chicago, the
result will be an overwhelming victory for
the Democrats in Nevada.

DeLamar is preparing for a gilt edged
celebration on the 4th of July. An elabor-
ate programme is advertised embracing
footracing for boys and girls, drilling
match, tug of war between married and
single men and broncho riding. The whole

town has the population and talent to make
this a celebration worthy of the name which

Phoebe district this year will not return
much over IS school children under the
census marshaPs report. The wonder of
many is, that with the town so dull, where
they all come from. The total number of
children in the county this year, however,
will far exceed that of last, since DeLamar
and several of the Muddy Valley districts
all show increased lists.
1t is suggested that series of drills and
exercises be arranged for our fire depart
ment. We have had none for a long time
and many of the old hands who formerly
manned the carts at an alarm, have gone
away. The fire apparatus has saved the
town several times and it must not be neg
lected Get up some exercises and see that
the handling of the hose, nozzles, plugs,
etc, is understood by every man who
would be likely to respond on an alarm.
The delay in getting water on last weeks
fire indicates that some such move on our
part is necessary.
Henry Filler is about to place one of John
r. Cooks mechanical coolers in his saloon.
These machines, for which patent is pending,
appear to be just the thing for this hot
southern country, especially where ice is
scarce or unobtanable. The evaporating
principle is used by which the temperature
is kept at about sixty degrees ON the hottest
days, and without any running expenses.
The cooler put in two weeks ago at the
Wertheimer store at DeLamar is giving the
greatest satisfaction, and is a great butter
preseryer.
The cattle buyers have asked that the
cattle to come from Meadow Valley on the
10Th inst. be delivered at Desert Springs in
stead of Panaca, so as to divide the risk o

number are reported to have been los
through fatigue between Panaca and Mil
ford.
The Old Timer mine is said to be openin,
up in fine shape since the new work begun
two weeks ago. Ore is being hauled to TIN
summit works for test run on the gold val
ues it contains. The ore is in two forms
one being heavy in lead, which latter is lief
at the mine for shipment hereafter to Sal
Lake. 1t is to be hoped that the prcsen
development will prove a permanent ant
lasting one.
As we understand it, the most serious

II WINS Not President Yoakum.

General Manager d. r. Yoakum OF Frisco
has brother named Charles, who is a con-
gressman from the Texas district formerly
represented by Judge Kilgore. says the ST.
Louis Republic.
Congressman Yoakum is q reaourceful
and original genius and never gets loft ON
any reasonable proposition.
The other day Congressman Charles was
on his way to Washington by way of
Celeste. where he intended to board the
Santa Fe train, but the latter trian was
scheduled to leave Celeste fifteen minutes
before the arrival of the Katy hyer, on
which the congressman was travelling. The
congressman knew this and before leaving
Greonevile wired the agent at Celeste as
follows:
Hold north bound train for Katy flyer
tSgned.) oakum'
The agent thinking that the telegram wos
signel by the general manager OF the
Frisco, hold the train until the arrival OF
the Katy flyer, and together with tho
trainmcn was greatly surprised to see NC
private car and no Manager Yoakum.
The congressman, however, boarded the
train as unconcernedly as possible and the
trainmcn are still In the dark as to what
became of Manager Yoakum and his prl-
y1tp ear.

Commercial travellers have won partia,

Pennsylvania company has made indepen
dent arrangements with a large number OF
Eastern lines which Jointly operate 5000
miles of road for the issue Of an inter
changeable l000-mile ticket at &c per mile
net, good over all those roads,
AS the Big Four, the Baltimore and ohio
ard other roads between Chicago and the
Ohio river had previously taken similar
action. other roads will undoubtedly follow
suit before long, SO as to protect them
selves against the competition OF the Penn
sylvania and its allies. There is a prospect
however, that in view OF the Penn
sylvania's independent action, the Central
Passenger committee, which is now in SEES

authorize the issue OF an INTERCHANGEABLE

Railway Gazette.


Under actual conditions, the $4,000 salary
attached to each of the three railroad conf
missonerships in the State OF New York Is
IA dangerous temptation. According to the
political newspaper gossips the present
governor has got Commissioner Deardsiey
to resign before the expiration of his term
in order to make sure of a commissioner
ship for his private secretary, Mr.. Cole
before new governor comes in. The term
is five years, and $40. 600 is a dazzling sum
even TO some men who ordinarily would
be proof against such mercenary considera-
tions. The constitution of the State of New
York requires appointments in the civil
service to be made according to merit and
fitness, to be ascertained, as far as prac-
ticable, by competitive eXaninaJons Can
the governor ignore this in appointing "A
railroad commissioner? IIonorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors are entitled TO
preference. without regard to their stand
ing on the competitive lists; but how would
it he Il there were half dozen good rail
road experts to choose from, all old sold
iers? We have no doubt the governor can
find such men il he makes inquiry, and the
interests OF the State demand that lie
