NO CHANGE IN
THE SURVEY
Western Pacific Undoubtedly
Intends That WinnemuCCa
Shall Be on Its Line

E. T. Rogers, civil engineer of the
Western Pacific Railway, is in town
today. He will leave this evening
for point fifty miles west Of Win
nemucca, by private conveyance. His
trip is one of inspection to the sur
veying camp there, which is the one
in Mr.. Harlowe's charge. This party
has recently been working in the vi
cinity of Suzanville. Cal. and has
been brought back to make a few
slight changed found advisable in the
vicinity mentioned.
Mr.. Rogers was tackled by one of
the Silver States reporters this morn
ing for information in regard to the
Western Pacific. He said:
well, I'm sorry haven't any
thing new to give out. We still have
our surveying parties in the field, all
working like beavers. At the termin-
ais of the road, as the city papers
have stated, property is being bought
not bonded, but purchased outright.
That looks like business, doesn't it?
We are all, from the surveyors up,
still working under rush orders, but.
as l stated when / was here last, we
are doing every bit of the work thor
oughly. These are our instructions. I"
"Will these changes affect the line
originally run to any great extent?"
asked the reporter.
mo" replied Mr. Rogers; at will
not affect the line in this vicinity
at ADJUST few slight changes about
fifty miles west"
This last statement is significant.
and should be very encouraging to
the citizens of Winnemucca, inasmuch
as it is known that the line as survey
ed in August ran through the west
side of the town.
The hope of our people that the
road will be built, and that within
the next two years and perhaps much
sooner, and furthermore that Winnie
mucca will be one of the principal
towns on its main line, is Well found
ed: in fact it is almost an assured
thing.

THE DELLA PRlNGLE COMPANY
Show Last Night Was Good
Prices Reduced

The large audience that greeted
the Della Pringle company upon their
initial performance here last night
was a very much pleased one. Only
The most favorable criticism Of the
play and the company has been heard,
and Manager Adams can safely count
on liberal patronage during the re-
mainder of their stay here.
Caught in the Web was the title
of the play, which is a strong drama
with a well-defined plot; it is not
only a possible but very probable
plot, and is therefore all the more
acceptable. Miss Pringle, in the lead
ing part, thoroughly filled all expec-
cations, sharing the honors with g..
Faith Adams, who took the part of
the unsopnisticated country youth
from Vermont, who, in spite of his
greenness, always managed to be
Johnny on the Spot when he was
needed. The others in the cast ara
good-in fact, the company is well
balanced and strong.
The play itself was not more in
teresting than the many specialties
introduced. This feature of the en-
tertainments has received careful at
tention, and is indeed pleasing one.
Dances, illustrated songs and imper-
sonations were all we'll given. Lit
tie Estelle Allen, the child singer and
dancer, proved immensely popular.
The same speciality artists will p
pear at each performance, but an en-
tire change OF act will take place each
time
Tonight the play is The Sultan's
Daughter purely a comedy. 1t is a
bright, catchy piece from start to
finish, with just enough of a plot
to keep the audience interested in
the play between laughs. This is the
play of all the eompany's repertoire
that gives Miss Pringle the greatest
scope for her talents, and is the one
in which she won the name Of Jolly"
Della Pringle. If you miss this show,
you'll always regret it. Manager Ad-
ans has voluntarily reduced the price
of admission to so and 25 cents-50
cents for grown people and two bits
for kids; no extra charge for reserv-
ed seats. but they'll have to be reserv-
ed early II reserved at all.

Window Curtains.

In most rooms curtains should
match the walls in color, for if of IA
different color the wall space is cut
up, and in the small rooms OF a
city that should be avoided.
If the room to be curtained is
light and delicate in color the cur
tains may be light. But in this
case let the material be chintz.
When chintz is used for the curtains
try TO c"'"r the furniture with
chintz of the same design.
Plain curtains nre more effective,
especially il the walls are plain, A
figured curtain gives the room u
jerky look. Even if the walls were
figured would a figured curtain be
pretty, for there would be differ
ence of pattern.
If Il pattern must be used intro
duce it into the border. \ plain
curtain with a rose border is prefer
able TO rose covered curtain.
Heavy materials look better hang
ing in straight folds. The thin mat
terials can be caught up and draped.

BIRDS IN THE ARCTIC,
The Spring Rush That Breaks the No.
notony Of the Year. '..

The one great break in the mo-
notony of the whole year along tho

it is almost violent. The last OF

sages from home and friends. But
the stream Of birds rapidly grows,
and the few first joyous notes merge
into ceaseless, hideous, distracting
din that robs one of his rest and for
few days becomes unbearable,
Swans, cranes, geese, brant, ducks,
gulls and terms swoop down upon
the coast by thousands. The old
birds are delighted at the sight of
the old family nesting ground and
the young ones at reaching once
more their birthplace, and the thou
sands of them are all talking and
screaming at the same time. The
contrast of the now endless days of
sunshine and abundant and animat-
ed life with that Of the still arctic
night is very great.
,. In a few days, however, each hap
ply family has settled down in its
own little home, and quietude reigns
supreme through the short summer,
and then again sets in the long soli-
tudinous night.
Many interesting things may be
learned of the birds that annually
visit the arctic coast for the pur'
pose of bringing up their families

of the intelligence displayed by
them in many ways. They have not

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
. Individual Towels Are Convenient and
Sanitary.

The housekeeper who has not dis
rovered the value of the small towel
in her household economics has
something yet to learn. 1t is only
recently that they have been used
to any extent in private families,
but their usefulness is making them
increasingly popular. This is the
towel that has heretofore been
known as the hotel size. 1t is the
small hand towel that is used in
large quantities in public places,
where many people use towel only
once. A large towel would be in
convenient, and the ordinary towel
would make at least twice the bulk
to send to the laundry.
All the reasons which make the
small towel valuable in public places
make it useful for the private
housekeeper who has many guests.
The towels she will use are of a
birds eye linen, hemstitched on the
end. A good quality will cost 20
cents. They are pretty little tow
els, soft for the hands. and with an
initial embroidered on the end.
They need not dread comparison
with the larger towels in the linen
closet. Often the housckeepcr marks
the small towels MS she is doing the
larger ones, with the lettering in
the Russian cross stitch.
The woman who considers her
complexion is using the small towels
not only for her guests, but for her
hands and face. The birds eye lin
en- is soft for the skin. which is Of
ten irritated by u heavier towel.
Then she can use us many Us she
pleases without feeling that she is
making deadly enemy Of the luun-

Rule For Hanging Pictures.

An artist gives us ii simple gener-
al rule for hanging pictures that
where only one row is to be hung
the central point in each picture
should be OH the level with the eye
of the ordinary person. This point
is easily discovered, for the eye I'M
consciously rests upon ii at the first
glance. In IL vignettc portrait, for
example, the central point is the
chin. Careless and ignorant franz
crs of pictures often disregard this
point, which should regulate their
work. The central point should be
at the exact intersection of two di-
agonal lines drawn from the corners
of he frame, not the mat. 1t is a
disregard of this which often gives
the picture the effect Of slipping out
OF its frame.-Harper's Bazaar.
