Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1899-08-16


They never grow to be more than an
inch long, these little weather frogs,
and like the chameleon they take the
color Of anything upon which they may
be sitting. brown, IL upon wood, anu
green IL upon leaves. If placed In a
jar Of blue water they become blue.
This is natures greatest gift to them.
for by this means they keep hidden
from not only their enemies, but the
flies and gnats which are their food.
But they have another queer trait,
and that Is that long before II rains
they jump into the water and stay
there until the rain Is over even II they
are under shelter. On the other hand
when the weather is cloudy they know
whether 1t will clear up or not. II the
sun is going to shine these wise little
creatures will come out Of the water
and stay out until the next shower ap-
proaches.

TWO MELAN ARCH BRIDGES.
The boa rd of Works Decides to Ex-
pend SIO4,44O on Them.

The Board of Works decided at the meet
ing yesterday morning TO award the con-
tracts for Melan arch bridges at Illinois
and Meridian streets across Fall creek. The
members of the board, together with the
city controller, Mayor Taggart and the city
engineer arrived at this conclusion. Mr..
Moore. of the board, favored cut stone
bridges instead of the Melan concrete, but
It was shown him that there was not
enough money i'm the bridge fund TO build
three cut stone bridges. and il a new bridge
were to be built across White river at
Washington street 1t would be necessary TO
accept the Melan plan. Mr.. Moore yielded
and the contract for the Meridian-street
bridge was awarded to Shower & Austin at
Safe The Hoosier Construction Company
was given the contract for the Ilinois-street
bridge at $4,000. 1t is thought that there
will be nearly enough money left in the
fund for a bridge across White river at
Washington street. The Melan construction
was patented by Professor Melan. of Ger
many. and does away with immense guam
titles of cut stone, as concrete Is used in
stead The steel arches are imbecded In the
concrete work. The work is much cheaper
than cut stone and is said to be just as
durable The Thatcher plan, which Is still
cheaper was thought to be not as safe as
the Melan plan. The bridges will be the full
width of the streets and of three spans
each They will be Odd feet long and ready
for use next summer.

TALK WITH THE MAYOR
But SAY 1T HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE GAS SITUATION.
Judge McMaster Issues an Order
President Hastings Talks-Works
Board and other City Affairs.

The petition filed by the city TO compel
the gas companies to furnish more gas TO
consumers was acted on by Judge Nc
Master yesterday morning in an order to
the indianapolis Gas Company to sink
twenty-five new natural gas wells and lay
a main not less than twelve inches in diam
eter from the field TO Indianapolis.
The order is merely a formal step in the
case. however. and is not really so formid-
able a measure it would appear to be
on its face In making the usual order
Judge McMaster gave the company until
Nov q to either make the Improvement
or file it's answer There is no doubt that
the company will take the full time limit
in filing it's answer, and after this is done
the court will set the case for trial.
The officials of the company have little
TO say as TO their plans, except that
Ferdinand Winter. the attorney for the
company, has the matter in hand and the
company will be guided by his advice.
In discussing the general situation, Presi-
dent Hastings said
I'm view of the action of the city in
bringing into court the question of natural
gas supply think that L should be ex-
cused from making any statement or ex-
pressing any OplnlOn reSdTulnS the Silui-
ton. 1 will state. however, that. in spite
of repeated attacks by the municipal au-
thorities the company is prepared to stand
by the people of Indianapolis to the ut
most extent of its ability; and, unless pre-
vented by pending legal measures. threat
ened legislation, the failure of natural gas
in the field or by other causes or conditions
beyord our control, we shall continue to
devote all our surplus earnings and avail
able resources TO the one end, viz: To bring
20 Indianapolis the largest possible volume
of natural gas and distribute il among our
customers so long as the prevailing waste
ful methods of consumption will permit.
THE rrmor that we intend To cut OF the
supply Of natural gas from indianapolis Is
obviously absurd because by so doing we
would CIT off our own revenues. III the city
authorities at any time adopt such meas
ures as will compel us, for physical OF
financial reasons, to shut down our plant
the responsibility will be theirs; otherwise
we sail continue, to the best of our ability
TO bring the gas here so long as the sup
ply will stand against the present waste
ful methods of consumption.

They VIII Buck the Lines To-day on
Franklin Field.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-The Univer-
sity of Michigan football eleven will meet
the University of Pennsylvania eleven on
Franklin Field tomorrow. So little is
known of Michigans playing strength that
the Pennsylvanians are somewhat appre-
hensive as to the outcome of the game. Re-
ports have been received that the Western
ers are playing strong game, and the
Eastern team has done some hard practic-
ing the last week. The Quakers hope to
win. In fact, they hope to prevent the
Michiganders from scoring. The Pennsyl-
vania team has been somewhat demoralized
since it's defeat at the hands of Harvard
last Saturday. The team, whole, has
not been together once for practice this
week. Right End Coombs, who has ii lame
shoulder, has not practiced, and Overfield,
who was the principal actor in the unpleaS-
ant scene after the Harvard game, has
failed TO show himself in uniform. Both
these men, however, are expected TO start
in the game The work of the Pennsyi-
cipal fault has been a lack of aggressive
ness. The team only took light practice to-
day. Signal drill was the principal work
done.
The Michigan team is quartered at Wayne.
a suburb. All the men have recovered from
their long journey from the West and are
i'm fine condition. The players did not line
ing light practice, which consisted of going
through the signals, catching and punting.
The team will come to the city tomorrow
morning and take light lunch at a hotel.

lege j: b. Thomas of De Paw University.

Demaree of Hanover College.
The contest will be held in this city the
first Friday in February, but the place has
not yet been determined on. Mr.. Hays of
Wabash. who has been connected with the
association for several years. says: Never
in my experience has such enthusiastic in
terest been manifested by the college men
generally at such an early date. Notwith-
standing the fact that the football season
is just at it's height, the different colleges
are greatly worked up over the primaries
which will be held in a short time, and the
very best talent of the State will be repre-
scented. / believe that the coming contest
will be the best in the history of the as
Socia tion."
