suing from the tables, Col. S. T. Pear
son, general manager of the Nevada
mining company's mines and mill at
Berlin, New, came in from the West a
few nights ago, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. While the campaign on the
Austin group has been practically sus-
pended, said Manager Pearson, opera
tions at the Berlin are progressing.
With the pay roll numbering $50 persons.
he is opening tonnage, while IS tons OF
ore are going daily through the mill, the
rock atfording an average from which
the company is each month deriving
handsome profit.
Some interest is manifested in the Po-
cahontas group about thirty miles dis
tant, and of which j. d. Wood, w. A,
Shearman and others of Salt Lake have
taken hold. while an impression prevails
in the locality that the owners OF the
New Pass group will put it under sys
tematic development the present year
Otherwise conditions about Austin and
in Lander county have undergone little
change.

The New Bridge.

The Reveille has the following to say
In regard to the new bridge at this place
Commissioner w. II. Ingham went to
Battle Mountain last Friday for the pur-
pose of receiving the bridge. but on his
arrival found that the men 10 charge OF
the work had departed for San Francisco.
Mr.. Ingham visited the bridge and found
that while there was good steel bridge
there we're no approaches to the same.
The bridge men on being asked by ex-
Commissioner Lemaire If they were not
going to put in the approaches, replied
that the contract entered into with Com
missioners Lemaire, Walsh and Litstcr
said nothing about approaches.
The bids for contracts, as published in
the Reveille. asked for "steel bridge
9G feet long, sixteen feet wide, resting on
concrete foundations, with suitable ap-
proachcs to bridge. ~"
1t now appears that the words "neces-
sary approaches" were omitted from the
contract entered into by the Commits
sioners and bridge company. Thus the
matter stands. There is a bridge but
Mr.. Ingham says it will require balloon
to get on to it.

Will Change the
Runs.

1t is said there will be change made
in the time of postal clerks working on
this division, and that the change will
take place soon. Instead Of making Re
no one of the terminals, clerks will make
the through run from San Francisco to
Ogden without stop. This will be like
the old run,
At dinner given to the clerks in San
Francisco few days ago, one Of the
officials, high in the workings of the
mail department, stated that this new
move would be made. At present sixty
four postal clerks make this city their
home for day and sometimes longer.
This means quite loss in social way,
as the clerks are always in on any social
matter that may come up.
The new rule meets with the approval
of the clerks as they claim their time is
SO cut up by the present schedule that
they have no time Of their own.-Jour-
nal.

The Flag on Our
Stamps.

The new two cent United States pos
tage stamp has the likeness of Washing
ton engraved from new model. The
profile we have seen SO long was copied
from marble bust made long ago by
the French sculptor Houdon. The de-
signer of the new stamp followed the
portrait painted by Gilbert Stuart and
now preserved in an art museum in Bos-
ton. This is the same likeness which
was printed on the rare ten-cent stamp
OF 1917 when our government issued its
fret official postage stamps. The same
likeness continued in use on one stamp
or another until 1870 when the Houdon
bust was substituted.
The American flags which are draped
about the frame of Washington's head
on the new stamps are interesting to
collectors who have not seen the flag
prominently displayed on our postal Ia
bells since 1859, when 1t vas borne by
the thirty. y.cent stamp, a stamp which is
lHtCu pIIZtu ny COlieClOlss
Speaking of the use of the flag in our
stamp designs well informed news
paper man in Washington tells us:
"The people who write letters to the
government have on many occasions ex-
pressed desire that the flag be brought
into use again. When the Columbian
series of 1888 was projected the depart
ment was flooded with such requests,
and also in connection with both the
other Worlds Fair sets. Mechanical
difficulties are said to have prevented
the earlier utilization of the idea.
"The flag is fayorite emblem on the
stamps of repu olics, but not of monarch.
les. The Dominican Republic, Bolivia,
Ecuador, Salvador, Uruguay, Liberia,
and Columbia chow their flags on prac.
tically every stamp they issue. The
Beers used to bunch their flags in the
center of their stamps. The last issue OF
the Hawaiian Republic gave prominent
place to its flag. The inhabitants Of the
little republic of Hayti get view Of
their national emblem every time they
fasteu postage stamp on letter, but
the common people do this SO rarely as
to keep the glimpse somewhat of treat.

nominations of new series of stamps

Hospitals on
Wheels.

1t is announced that the Southern
Z paciic Company is soon to order the
construction OF what is known as hos
pital cars, that is, cars provided with all
of the necessities and appliances for the
first care of the injured. The cars will
be fitted out under the supervision of
DIR. Matthew Gardener, chief surgeon of
the Southern Pacific Company, just as
soon as that official returns from the
East
It is partly due TO the recent number
of wrecks that the Southern Pacific
Company has decided to install the hos
pital cars, for, as a rule, medical aid and
appliances can never be had near the
scene OF the accident. Many lives have
been lest for the lack Of adequate ac-
commodatiops that perhaps would have
been saved had these proposed cars been
IN existence
The hospital cars will be stationed on
the several divisions of the company and
will be fully equipped with ali Of the
necess ry surgical Instruments and med
icines TO meet any emergency that may
occur. The cars will be held ready to
be rushed to the scene of the accident at
a moments notice.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought Of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t l,as
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis.
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza grip,
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency Of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands Of cases in which this rem.
edy. has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold is contracted. 1t always cures

Lent.

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the
first day of the Lenten season.
The services which give that day its
name consists in the solemn blessing of
burnt palm branches, and afterwards
with the sprinkling of each one with the
pleased ashes in the form of cross.
The ceremoi is as old as Moses, and is
intended to impress upon man the small
hold he has on life. 1t also symbolizes
the penitential nature of Lent.
All the days OF Lent except Sundays,
are fast days of obligation.
BY dispensation, the use of flesh meats
ii permitted at all meals on Sunday and
once day at all the principal meals on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and sat
urdays, with the exception of Ember
Saturday and the last Saturday of Lent.
The faithful are reminded that besides
the obligation of fasting imposed by the
Church, the Season of Lent should be
in very special manner Of time of earn
est prayer, Of sorrow for sin, Of absten-
ton from amusements, which, not sinful
in themselves, are permitted during
other portions of the year, and of gener-
Gus almsgiving to the poor.

Something > of the improvements
That Have Been Recent

Nothing short of an earthquake
Will prevent the Winnemucca Water

cry of greater capacity and long be-
fore the hottest weather is upon us.
the company will be ready with a sup
ply of water all taken from its big
well, sufficient for all demands that
may be made upon it.
1t would indeed be deplorable If
necessity compelled the consumers to
drink the river water, with from one
TO seventy-fve malaria germs float
ing around in every drink, and with
a smell that would double discount
New Mown Hay or Jockey Club, but
no such necessity will arise. and it
Is to prevent such contingency that
the company is now putting in the ex-
pensive Improvements. AS Mr.. Rein
hart said yesterday, the water COM
pany might go in the future as had
been done by the old company, using
the river water. and the people would
be forced to accept what was offered
them. But the present management
has gone to all the trouble and ex-
pense Of putting in modern and
greatly improved plant simply in or
der that the patrons might get the
best service possible for the COM
lars worth of pure water for every
dollar paid for service. The company
gets no more for the improved SER
vice; rates will remain the same as
they have been. The proposition is
simply that the Water company is
out a large sum of money, and it's
patrons are the only ones who profit
by it.
To begin with, the 60-horse power
UOller III use last year was lHTOWH
out few weeks ago and in its stead
was placed one of 120-horse power.
A correspondingly larger pump was
added and instead of the six-inch cas-
ing, which extended but twenty feet
below the bottom of the big well, an
eight-inch casing, running down
thirty feet lower is now being put in.
The pipes through which the water
is drawn from the we'll were also
changed from six-inch to eight-inch.
Many other improvements of a minor
nature, but all of which are for the
betterment and increasing of the eff
cheney of the service, have been made,
so that the element of chance does
not enter into the prediction that
the patrons of the Winnemucca Water
and Light company will have no cause
for complaint this season.

nurse since his western trip. She
was at the hotel in an adjoining
room when the operation was per-
formed.

satisfactory. Resting quietly. Pulse
and temperature normal"
Dr. Lyle, who was attendant physi-
clan at the operation, said; "The op-
Grafton on Mr.. Hartman was per-
formed by Dr. Bull. 1t was very sue
cessful. The condition of the patient
was favorable. The appendix was
slightly infiamed. but no puss was
found. 1t was very clean case. Re
covery is almost certain. Mr. Harri-
man is expected to be out in fourteen
days. The operation took an hour.
An incision of about two inches was
