NEwLANDs, IRRIGATION BILL

1t was said last fall, during the cam
paipn. that Mr.. Newlands had done
little or nothing for the State while in
Congress. This charge is not likely to
be made again. Mr.. Newlands seems
to be alive to the interests OF Nevada.
In his last Irrigation Bill he has given
additional proof Of it. We like that
bill and believe it both sensible and
practicable. We give the text OF the
bill in another column. 1t supplements
his former bill for reservoirs on the
Humboldt river, and provides that
money received by the National
government from the sale OF public
domain in the arid land States be turned
over to the irrigation fund and ex-
pended by the Government in irrigation
work on the lands from which the
money is derived.
The trouble has been with all these
irrigation schemes, that the East did
not want TO be taxed to further the
interests of any of the Western states.
This bill removes all such objections.
Under this scheme sales OF lands in
the West constitute the fund for rec
lamation. Last year the sales of pub
lie lands in the arid and semi-arid
region aggregated four million dollars.
This bin has the approval OF the
National Irrigation Association and it
is confidently expected that it will
prove an automatic method OF reclama-
tion for public land.

NEVADA LEGISLATURES.

The members are settling down to
work, and indications point to an i'm
portant session. The lottery seems to
be smouldering for the time-being, al
/ though some seem to be laboring under
/ the fond delusion that it will yet pass
Several important bills have been in
troduced. Lem Aliens bill reducing
the salaries of State officers and SUI
preme Judges, caused a good deal OF
comment Following are the salaries
under the schedule as provided for in
the bill: Governor, $4,000; Secretary
of State, $1,000: Controller, $1,000; the
Treasurer, $1,000; Attorney General,
81. 800; Surveyor General, $1,000. The
salaries of the Supreme Judges are cut
to 81, 600. These reductions, however,
do not affect the present incumbants.
Burke of Lincoln introduced an eight
hour law making eight hours a legal
days's work in all mines, shelters, and
ore reduction works, except in cases of
actual necessity. The bill is to go into
effect 60 days after the date of its pass
age 1t is generally expected that the
bill will pass.
The Senate Concurrent Resolution,
No. 3, petitioning Congress to open In
dian reservations to miners, was passed
unanimously.
The apportiOnment bill, introduced
by Peckam, will probably pass. The
counties interested by the increase will
certainly support it, and the Others do
not care.
1t is said bill will be introduced re-
ducing salaries Of the Legislature. We
shall see II that will pass.
The Sweeney division bill, providing
for cutting off the Southern portion of
Washoe and attaching it to Ormsby
is doomed to an early death, and will
stand no chance ON its final vote.
Mr.. Bell, in the Senate, introduced
bill to provide for the collection, ar
rangement and disposition of the pro-
auctions of the State of Nevada at the
Pan American Exposition to take place
at Buffalo, N. Y, from May /, to Nov.
l, 1901. Appropriating $1,000 to be
expended under the direction of a
State Board of Commissioners. All
funds remaining or proceeding from
the sale at close of exposition to be
paid into the general Fund of the
State. Referred to Internal Improve
ments.
Pitt introduced bill for creating a
State Board of Pharmacy to regulate
practice of pharmacy and the sale Of
poisonous drugs and medicine. Refer
red to Judiciary.
Senator Flanagan introduced bill to
repeal the prize-fght law. This ava
kened a great deal of criticism on the
part of the Carsonites, but as NJ. Flan-
igan is not easily beaten, he will proba-
bly, see his bill through.

CHARLES WALLACE DEAD.

The Reno Journal OF January 31st,
contains the notice of Charles Wallace's
death. He died at Raymond, Cal,
while on his way to Mariposa.
The Journal says
G. G. Wallace was man of rare at.
tainments He was magnetic man,
one born to rule. His capabilities in
this line brought him to the attent ton
of the late Coils p. Huntington, who
made him political manager of Nevada.
In this capacity he served many years.
Every political party in the State was
made subject to his Vaccinations. In
primaries, conventions and elections
he chose his men and inspirited his
policies. For years the State was
powerless under his thrall He chose
officers from governor to constable and
made them plant to his will.
Yet, be it said to the everlasting
credit of ''Blackr Wallace that he kept
his pledges. He returned favor for
favor, and was known throughout. the
State as a man whose word was as good
as his bond.
The Wallace regime in Nevada and
corporation rule persisted in the last
campaign, and even II the man had
lived he would never have been able to
have reasserted his monarchial pow.
err.
Mr.. Wallace leaves little or nothing
OF an estate. While he enjoyed large
income he invested nearly all in min
ing ventures. At the time OF his
death he had bonds upon the Copper
Queen, VIM. NJ. Teller and Tri. Metallic
mines in this locality, on which he had
spent large sums OF money.
While Wallace, the politician, will
ever remain in condemnation in this
State, we will revere the memory of
Wallace, the man.

STEWARDS MINING BILL.
A Radical Measure, With Many
Chances From the Present.

The text of Senator Stewards bill
to amend the mining laws of the
United States discloses one of the most
radical mining measures proposed in
Congress for many years. The bill
provides as follows
That no person shall locate a mining
claim as agent or by power OF attorney
for another, except as hereinafter pro-
vided. No person shall locate more
than one placer mining claim in the
watershed of any stream or creek in
the same mining district, nor shall
any person locate more than one claim
on any vein or lode; provided, that any
citizen of the United States or person
who shall have declared his intention
to become such, may, after the discov-
cry of ore in place in a lode or mineral
vein in paying quantities in placer
deposit, locate one such claim for one
other person as agent Or attorney and
no more in any one mining districts;
provided further, that prior to any
such location for another he shall file
for record in the recorders office of the
mining district power of attorney
authorizing him to make mining loca-
tions for the person named therein,
which power of attorney must be
acknowledged before notary public or
other person having seal and au-
thorized by law to take acknowledge
ments of deed, and, provided further
that the person for whose benefit the
location is made shall be a citizen Of
the United States or shall have de-
clared his intention to become such,
and shall within six months after such
location file his acceptance of the same,
acknowledged in the same manner as
the power of attorney aforesaid, with
the recorder of mining claims in the
district where mining claims are re-
corded, and shall perform the amount
of labor and improvements required
within the time prescribed by law.
Sec. 2. That on all mining claims
located as provided in section l of this
act the assessment work required by
law shall be performed on or before
the 31st day of December follow wing the
date of location, except that on
claims located after the LIST day of Sept
TENDER in any year the time within
which the said assessment work shall
be performed may be extended to and
including the 3lst day of December of
the following year, and no person shall
relocate, either by himself or by agent,
any claim upon which he has failed to
perform the said assessment work.

NEW APPORTIoNMBNT BILL.

The Eureka Sentinel, which, by the
way, is one of the best and most valued
OF our exchanges, objects warmly to
the new apportionment bill. We give
below the number of Senators and
Assemblymen allotted by the bill to
each county, and also the comments of
the Sentinel on our own county's allot-
ment. 1t will be seen that II the bill
becomes law, White Pine gains one
Assemblyman, while Eureka remains
as 1t was.
SECTION /. The apportionment OF
Senators and Assemblymen in the sew
eral counties of this State shall be as
follows:

Very little snow has fallen this sea-

cattle and sheep men, it is feared that

THIS LOOKS SERIOUS.
The Bubonic Plague is at our
Doors.


We thought the Small Pox was bad
enough. There has lately been death
at Wells from this disease and there is
talk of placing Reno in quarantine on
account OF several cases there. But
now comes something worse. The Blu
bonic plague is said to have broken out
in Bakersfield, Cal, and raging to an
alarming extent. This is reported by
telegraph to the Reno Journal. There
are said to be from thirty to fifty
deaths per week in the town.
Several months ago DR.. Kenyoun
announced that this plague existed in
San Francisco, and he was roundly de-
nounced by the merchants, the papers,
and Gov. Gage. II this horrid disease
spreads, as it may, We shall see what q
prosecuted man the Doctor has been
1t is criminal on the part OF any com
munity to hide or deny the existence o
such adeadly disease as the Bubonio
Plague.

1t is believed that the eight-hour
law, which has been introduced in the
Legislature, has good chance of pass
ing. Provides that eight hours shall
constitute a legal days work in all
mines, smelters and ore reduction
works, except in cases of actual neces-
sity. The bill is to go into effect sixty
days after the date of its passage. 1t
is just measure and should become a
law. The eight-hour day for men work
ing in shelters and mills has been ad.

in Butte and Anaconda, Mont, and al

Office of Senators and Assemblymen
now in office.
The Sentinel's comparison of the two
counties is comparison of wealth and
taxes. We are not disposed to defend
the Bill, nor do we suppose that the
matter is of any great consequence.
The question that might be raised is
this: Is not the present expense of our
Legislature sufficient? And is not the
present number large enough to legis-
late for 1900 people? However, we
give below the Sentinel's kick:
The census gives White Pine county
1861 inhabitants, or seven more than
Is credited to Eureka county. And
yet Mr.. Peck ham would generously
give to our neighbor one Senator and
two Assemblymen, while cutting Eu-
reka down to one member in each
House. Now White Pines real estate
valuation is 1921, 765, and her personal
property is shown to be only 1896, Os5,
while she pays in taxes into the State
Treasury the meagre sum of So, 9s7. 80.
Compare this with Eureka's valuation
of 81, OCT, 81 on real estate, and S453,
GA on personal property, and her
SIG, 929 paid in taxes into the State
Treasury, and the result would seem
to be sufficient to satisfy any one that
Mr.. Peck hams knowledge of mathe-
mates was not drawn upon to any
great extent when he prepared his
reapportionment measure.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-President Roose-
welt has astouished his friends ~ well as
his critics by letting 1t be known to the
members OF the Cabinet that his first an
nual message Is going to be the longest
on record. A message OF 2s,0O0 or $4,000
words, coming after several years Of effort
TO make them shorter rather than longer
will be an innovation that is not likely 10
be popular. Every one OF the thousands
of men who would like to have his friends
think that he knows Theodore Roosevelt
like book has been predicting that no
would write the shortest message on rec
ord, that he would talk straight out from
the shoulder and to the point. and say more
