WILL BEAR INVESTIGATION,

1T costs the county of Washoe just
$l5O to settle the bounty claims on
Wild animals for last month. Either
coyotes are naturally multiplying, or
the removal of the bounty by the State

Will bear investigation" Reno Journal.
Looks to a man up tree as though
an investigation along the same lines
might not be amiss in Elko county also.
During the last five months the Com-
missioners OF this county have allowed
bills aggregating S1,472OO, or nearly
$4,000 month. The bills were prop
erly presented to the Commissioners
and they were in duty bound to allow
them. However, many people think
the various Justices of the Peace
should be more careful in administers
ing the oath and issuing the certif-
cate. We understand that some JUS
tices have custom of never asking the
questions of a scalp claimant as pro.
vided by law. This is all wrong and
Justices so practicing are violating
their oaths of office. Tt also looks
rather strange, in reading the lists of
scalp claims allowed. to see stipulated
therein the allowances to business
firms of large sums of money for
bounty on scalps. The law states that
a person claiming bounty shall take
the scalps killed by himself with the
ears to Justice of the Peace and shall
state on oath the time and place, and
when and where said animals we're
taken and killed. The Justice shall
give to the person so sworn certificate
stating the number and kind of scalps
deposited with him. Upon presenta-
ton to the County Commissioners of
such certificate, the board is directed to
allow the amount due to the person in
the certificate.
The question occurs: Have the busi-
ness firms of Elko county, who have
been allowed large scalp bills, killed
the noxious animals, or is there an ir-
somewhere?- Herald.

DEHoRNINc CALVES.

Dehorning calves is described as such
a simple operation by the Agricultural
department bulletin on this subject that
it is difficult to explain why it is post
poned until the horns are fully grown
and the necessity arises-if hornless
cattle are wsnted-for saving them of.
To dehorn, secure a pencil of caustic
potash at drug store. When the calf
is a week old throw it on it's side, then
locate the knob that is the nucleus of the
horn, wet it we'll and rub it with the end
of the pencil; then rub with the hand,
first protecting them with gloves. This
is all there is OF the operation. 1t takes
but few minutes to do it and causes
little pain. If after a few weeks any
traces of the horns appear, touch them
again with the caustic.

A Reno councilman, in speaking of
the lack of funds in the city treasury,
said: Suppose thirty or forty of us
get together and go on note and raise
enough money to place the city on a
financial working basis and trust to God
and the next Legislature to get our
money back" The Reno citizen is ad-
vised against it. It will be remembered
that about fifty of his fellow citizens
built home for the president of the
University, put up the money and
trusted Providence, and the Legislature
repudiated the debt.

BY hardening it in a vapor of quick

SutrO Tunnel In Poor Condition.

A representative of the Reno Gazette
recently inspected the underground
workings of many OF the Comstock mines
and in his paper has good word to say
of the old lode. He was not favorably
impressed with the condition of the Sutro
tunnel, but since his visit the manage
ment has been making some repairs,
chiefly to the north lateral branch. tie
says in this respect: "We went into the
tunnel some distance and saw the water
raised from the lower level by the new
Reidler pumps, running down to daylight
to irrigate land on the sluggish Carson.
The tunnel looked to be in rather bad re-
pair, and that penny wise and pound
foolish policy had been pursued"

HOUSE MUST DO SOMETHING"
Senate Grows Impatient Because Its Bills
Are Kept Waiting.

Springfield. Ills. April 80. = The
senate was in an angry frame of mind
when it convened yesterday. owing to
the fact, as alleged by a number of
senators, that the house was paying
10 attention whatever to the advance
ment of senate measures. The pending
question after the prayer by the chap
lain was the house bill providing for
additional factory inspectors. Dawson
objected to consideration of the bill.
There are something like two hun
dred senate bills in the house." said
Dawson, . TO which that body is pay
ing no. attention whatever. l move
you that it be the sense of this senate
that we do not pass any further house
bills except those calling for appro-
priations, until they do something in
the house."
Il am of the same opinion as the
gentleman from Cook" said Burnet.
Il have had a bill over there since
last Thursday, and cannot even get it
on the house calendar. l do not think
we ought to consider any more house
bills until the house shows dispo-
sition to do something with the bills
we send over there"
President Pro Tenn. Mckenzie, who
was in the chair, thought the motion
was out of order. and that the only
way in which the matter could be
reached would be by Il motion to post
pone consideration of the pending bill.
Upon motion of Hall this was done,
and the bill went over.
At this juncture in the proceedings
n message was received from the
house transmitting a number of bills
which had passed that body. Among
them was the bill making wife aban-
donment or negligence a misdemeanor.
Lundberg asked, inasmuch as it was
identical with the measure passed in
the senate. that it be sent to second
reading without reference TO COM
mittee. Numerous objections were
raised to this procedure. and the bill
was referred TO the judiciary commit
tee there TO rest until the house shows
a disposition TO take up senate bills.
A number OF other bills received like
treatment and the senators announced
that this would be their policy until
the house docs something" as they
expressed it.

House Has a Hot Time Over a Bill ApprO-
priAtIng eI42,OUO.

Springfield, Ills, April 30.-Tmme-
diately upon the converting of the
house for the afternoon session Curtis
called up the house bill making an ap-
preparation of $142,0 900 for the main
tenance of the Illinois and Michigan
canal The consideration of this bill
extended over two hours, and was
speeches. Burke was the first to attack
the bill, and demanded of the chair by
what authority the legislature was
making this appropriation. He read a
clause of the constitution providing
that no appropriation shall be made by
the state for the maintenance of ca
mails.
Chiperfield in reply said: you have
misconstrued the meaning OF the con-
stitution. That section of the cOnsti-
tuition refers only to private enterprises
and not to state institutions"
The motion to postpone was not en-
tertained by the chair, and Allen asked
if it was good policy to make heavy
expenditures on this canal when the
records of the past show that the
method had been losing game.
The state is legally and morally COM
PEELED to support the canal as it was
received i'm trust fiom the federal gov
ernment We have no right to slight
it. The people of the state and not us
are the ones to decide upon the disposi
tlon of the canal.
Sherman spoke an hour against the
bill and Browne replied to Sermau.
When the vote was taken it was go to
so against the bill, and Curtis gave no
tice of n motion to reconsider.
A resolution was introduced for final
adjournment May Z. The resolution
was adopted-yens. 60; nays. 81.
