Thoroughbred Bucks.

Two carloads of thoroughbred De-
laine-R ambellette Dukes were received
by Alfred Wilkinson this morning from
Mendocino county, Cal. They have been
on the road five days, half of which
time the cars were set out on a sidetrack
where the animals could be neither un-
loaded nor fed. Mr.. Wilkinson is justly
indignant that his ~thoroughbreds received
such ill-treatment, for which the rail-
road company is responsible. The bucks
will be taken to Mr.. Wilkinson's ranch
near McDermit, where they may be seen
by heepmen who are interested.

Matchmaker Sent Up.

A. l.. Boleck. a travelling matchmaker,
was up in Justice Rougon's cour this
morning to answer to a charge of petty
larceny. While Boleck was here a few
weeks ago he pawned a couple of
watches which la been left in his
to be repaired by c. w. George
of Kennedy. The fellow skipped out
and was located a few days ago at Car
lin. from which place Sheriff McDeid
brought him back for trial. Boleck
pleaded guilty and was fined $50 and
costs. He served a term in Jail here be-
fore for disturbing the peace.

Clearing Criminal Calendar.

The ~Shaughnessy murder case out of
the way the trial of the numerous other
defendants who were indicted at the last
session of the grand jury will be pro-
ceeded with and the criminal calendar
in Judge Bonniheld's court possibly clear
ed before the end of the week.
This morning at 10 o'clock was the
time set for the trial of Frank Rosas,
charged with breaking into the section
house at Golconda. Rosas changed his
plea to guilty and will be sentenced to-
morrow.
The next case called was that of Elmer
Watson, indicted for burglary, commit
ted on the Anderson ranch near Col
conda a few weeks go. 1t is alleged
that Watson broke into a room in the
house with the intention of assaulting
the wife of the ranch foreman. A jury
was obtained before the noon recess and
the case will probably be concluded to-
morrow. E. A. Quicker is defending
Watson.

For A~ssemblyman.

Under the proper heading apepars the
announceemnt of the candidacy of c. b.
Brown Of this place for the Assembly.
He is the regular Democratic nominee
for the position and this, taken in con-
nection with his personal popularity and
ability, makes his election a certainty.
MIR. Brown has been a resident of this
town for the past eighteen years. Early
in life he entered upon a business career
and his advancement has been so rapid
and well founded that he is now senior
partner OF the firm Of c. Il. Brown & Co.,
one of the leading mercantile establish
ments of this place. Mr.. Brown is too
well known throughout the county to
need an extended Introduction here, but
we do wish 10 call attention TO the fact
that he has all the qualifications of a
frst-class legislator-aggressiveness, de-
termination and untiring energy.
The convention acted wisely in nomi-
mating him. because he is just the man
to send to the Legislature. He Is just
as certain to make a good record for
himself In the Assembly, and to represent
every interest of his constituents as he
is to be elected.

Last night Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh
spoke at the M. E. Church, giving a his
tory of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union and it's purposes, and made
an appeal for an organization in Win
nemucca. There seemed at first to be
but small response, but when the cards
came in there was a long list of names
for membership and a fine Union was
organized.
1t was given the name of the Anna
Gordon Union, in honor of Miss WIZARDS
lifelong friend and companion, and the
present vice-president of the national
w. c.. T. U. and the secretary of the
Worlds Union.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Probable Nominations Which VIII Be Made
This Afternoon.

Inc republican county convention was
called to meet somewhere in Winnemuc-
ca at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. but if
Is impossible to ascertain anything in re-
gard to the place of meeting or the pro-
ceedings.
The convention will probably be held
In secret session in some small room that
will easily accommodate the few dele
gates who are here and then the nomi-
nations will be ratified at a public meet
ing in Armory hall.
The greatest secrecy has been main
tanned by the leaders and faithful fol-
lowers in regard to the candidates for
nations, though it is known that the
slate has been practically complete for
several days.
However, the Silver State will hazard
a guess nat the list of nominations will
not be far from the following:
State Senator-John Sibbald of Col
conda.
Assemblymen-J. G. Taylor of Love-
lock, Charles Mcconnell of McDermit,
+. A. Pinson of Golconda.
Sheriff-S. G.. Lamb of Golconda.
District Attorney-F. X. Murphy of
Winnemucca.
Treasurer-W. j. Merchant of Winnie
mucca.
Public Administrator-G. w. Williams
of Lovelock.
Long Term commissioners. r. Young
of Lovelock.
Short Term Commissioners. e. Havi-
land of Winnemucca.
1t is the present intention to make no
nominations for Assessor, Clerk or Re-
corder, owing to a lack of candidates
for these offices, a nomination for any
of them being regarded as carrying with
1t no possibility of election.
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1902-09-22
For County Commissioner.

Frank German of his place announ-
ces himself today as a candidate for
Short Term Commissioner of Humboldt
county. He was nominated for the Of
flee by the Democratic county convention
last week and the returns of the Novem-
Der election will doubtless be proof that
no stronger candidate could have been
put forward.
Mr.. German is representative of the
younger element which is so fast coming
to the front in the political affairs of
this State, and which was well shown
in the nominations made by the recent
Democratic convention of his county.
He was born and raised here and though
young in years Is old in business exper-
and ank as one of the towns
solid citizens. He has successfully man.
aged an important hotel business for
years and If elected will devote the same
careful, capable attention to the affairs
of the county. He is very popular and
well known throughout the county, has
every qualification necessary for the Of
fee, and these qualities will recommend
his candidacy to the careful c%onsidera-
ton of the voters or election day.

The following is the conclusion
pfa resume Of the agricultural CEN
sus statistics Of New Mexico reeen-
tly published by the census bureau
and of especial interest TO every
citizen Of this teFHtaFyi
I'm the western plateau region
the total number Of acres irrigated
is small compared with the other
two main divisions Of the territory.
The waters afording supply ior
this region are the San JHan, and
its tributaries, the Gila, the zuni,
and the Mimbtes rivers. The lands
irrigated By the San Juan river are
in the Northern part Of San Jpah
county. The sources Of the river
are in the San Ivan and Ia Plata
mountains in Colorado, and the af-
fluepts WHICH it RECEIVES fFoh1 the
south are puimpQrtant. Near the
Colorado lipe, tho San Juan has a
mean flow Of about 200 cnbic feet
per second. This is isaHgmepted by
the waters of the Rio de Los Pinos
which has an estimated flow OF 80
cubic feet per second, The most
important tributary is the Las Ami
mas, which has 2 normal Aow, at a
point below Aztec of ss5 feet per
second. The Rio Ia Plata, another
tributary, has an estimated flow OF
so cubic feet per second.
"While the flow of all Of these
streams is perennial, it fuctuetes
with the seasons, being increased by
the melting SHOWS in the spring
and later BY the rains, which ushal-
ly occur in the latter part of August
and in September.
In the drainage Of the basin Of
the San Juan there are So bitches

ing 5000 acfesi and on the La
