SHOULD GIVE
ASSISTANCE
Humboldt County Offered a
Boost Which Ought to be
Appreciated

Reno's Chamber of Commerce, which
is doing a great work in advertising
that town, and at the same time,
the entire state of Nevada, is willing
TO go outside the boundaries of the
county OF Washoe, and give a boost
to other localities. The effort in this
direction in behalf of Humboldt coun-
ty should be appreciated, and We be-
lieve it will be. The following letter
just received from Secretary ingalls,
is self-explanatory, and the Silver
state will do all in it's power to assist
the chamber of commerce in this di-
rection. We will be very grateful to
those of our readers for any articles
along this line they may feel disposed
to contribute, and invite any number
of write-ups of each and every in
dustry represented in the county. Mr..
ingalls, writes:

VERY ANCIENT RUINS
City of Pyramids Found in
Pueblo, Old Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, June U.s.
The recent discovery of an ancient
city of pyramids in dense forest in
remote part OF the state of Puebla
has been found to be of the greatest
archaeological Importance. The Fed
eral government has commissioned the
sub-director of the National museum,
Senor F. Rodriguez, to visit the ruins.
Nicholas Leon, an archaeologist and
ethnologist, accompanied the sub-di-
rector to the ruins. General Leon re-
ports that the ruins are such as never
before have been known to the world
of science. and the most primitive
are discovered In Mexico, in fact so
ancient as to require great deal OF
time and study TO learn what epoch
they were built. as well as by what

The opportunity to get defects in
eyesight corrected and glasses prop
erly and scientifically fitted, offered
by the presence in Winnemucca of
two of the best known and most sue
cessful opticians on the coast Drs-
Hamlin and Magill. is being embraced
by those who are careful of one Of
natures most priceless gifts, good
strong eyes, and who are particular
in the care and preservation of the
organs of vision.
If he succeeds in finishing up the
work in hand, DR.. Magill will return
to Reno Saturday; therefore, it staEds
all who want to consult him to not
delay. DIR. Hamlin will remain a
few days longer, but even those who
are intending TO see him on this trip
would better not wait too long, as a
rush of work might make it impossible
to get waited upon before he is called
upon to fill other engagements.
Both doctors are staying at tho

A Compulsory Incorporation Sale of
Pianos and Organs.
Every Instrument in the Bradbury
Building Must Be Sold.
Auction Prices Seem High Compared
to Some of the Prices Quoted Dur
ing This Sale.
Old Upright and Square Pianos and
Organs Taken in Part Payment.

The immediate sale OF all the Pianos and Or
guns contained in the Bradbury building 1925 Pa
ave. is rendered absolutely compulsory by the
terms of the sale by which the Bradbury Plano
business was transferred to the corporation known
as the F. G. Smith Piano Company. Piano prices
are usually lower in the summer than In the
winter but the lowest prices ever quoted In Wash
ington are high compared to those now being
quoted during this Incorporation SALE The writer
doubts whether any instruments were ever offered
at auction as low they selling in this sale.
Think Of purchasing Organs Of well-known makes
at $40, SIS. $50, &c.
Square Pianos are almost given away at slah
prices as SIS, $40, $2o $40, $35. &c. There are
Steinways Knabe. Chickering and other first class
makes among them.
Upright Pianos selling at $110 $125. $3.50,
$175. &C. less than half price In many cases.
1t is not necessary to have the Plano delivered
at once. Simply make your selection-secure a
bargain by making a small deposit and we will
hold the instrument until you ready to have 1t
delivered.
II you have old Upright or Square Piano or
Organ setting around the house on storage. re-
member 1t is worth just much cash to you dur

POLICEMAN GRoFFs SALARY.
It Must Be Paid Until He is Regularly
DISCHARGED.

The District Commissioners were today
advised by Mr.. A. Leftwich Sinclair. as
sistant corporation counsel, that they must
continue to pay the salary of Policeman
Samuel A. Groff, who has been indicted by
the federal grand jury in connection with
the Post Office Department investigation
and the Indictment of Mr.. Machen. Major
Sylvester recently stated that Croft had
been carried on the rolls since his arrest as
suspended. Major Sylvester wished to as
certain whether itwas In the power Of the
Commissioners to deprive this officer of his
pay, provided the charges were sustained
against the man.
This question: says Mr.. Sinclair. us
answered by the last proviso Of section 1
of the act of Congress approved February
%, 1901, which Is as follows: And provided
further. that no removal from the police
force shall betfnladef except on written
charges and after an, opportunity for de-
fense on the part of the person against
whom such charges may be made
THE Commissioners being without au-
thority to remove member of the police
force, except upoa written charges and
after an opportunity for defense on the
part Of the person against whom such
charges may be made 1t necessarily fol-
lows that until Mr.. Groff is regularly and
Internationally discharged from the serv-
ice on the police force, after a trial graft

salary should be paid to him as hereto

Premature Firing.


In the name Of common sense what Is the
use Of regulations ifbthey are not to be
enforced? For 1.-The last month we have
read all about the stopping Of individual
fireworks and repaacingithem by displays at
public expense, &C.. Hnd yet. though we
are not yet at ths Fourth of July. from
to 10 In the evening all over the city boys
are firing crackers andi even torpedoes; be-
sides, even by daylight placing them on
the rails Of the car tracks 30 as to have a
series of explosions when the car rides
over them. That practice Is especially
dangerous; has It ever occurred what the
consequence would be II spark would set
a lady passengers dress on fire. now es
pecially that warm weather brings forth
light materials; athe fapidity of the ride
would help 1t toubiaze up before the car
could be stopped,wand possibly two or three
other ladies might have their clothes on
fire, by contact, before help could be Be-
cured; and yet this is an every hour prac
tice as any motorman and conductor all
over the city can testify. Still. policemen
pass by, see the hoodlum urchins at their
game and do not stop them, though their
yells can be heard blocks ahead. Then,
what is the use OF this big flourish of reg
ulations suppressing individual celebration.
especially when 1t is before the day2 If no
fireworks Of the kind were intended to be
had, instead OF stopping their firing. would
1t not have been simpler to warn the deal
ers not to have them for sale7 As 1t Is, tha
city Is full of stores exhibiting them for
sale. That Is an undeniable fact. E. NJ 8.

In these days of fast motoring and high
railway speeds it is interesting to recall
that it was in July. 1929. some little time
before George Stephenson had solved the
problem of steam transport. that Sir Colds
worthy Gurney made his famous journey in
steam carriage from London to Bath
and back. Gurney was a surgeon in Maryle-
bone. greatly given to the working out of
inventions in his spare time. and IT took
him some years to complete his first mo
tor in his back yard In Albany street. He
accomplished the journey to and from Bath
at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, and
there was only one disturbing incident.
when q crowd assembled at Melksham set
upon the machine and having burned their
fingers, threw stones and seriously wounded
the stoker. This Gurney Journey stands al

Secretary Long thereupon wrote the fol-
lowing personal letter:
THE department has received with
great qualification the reports of the en-
gagement of the forces under your COM
mand with the Philippine insurgents at
Novaleta on October 8. 1899. Taking into
consideration the fact that Spanish forces
had on previous occasions found the In
surgent position at Novaleta impregnable.
and at one time an entire regiment had
been lost there, the conduct Of the forces
under your command, numbering only
three hundred $500, was. an this occasion
Of a most creditable character.
"The department extends to you and
the force under yoilr command its hearty
commendation and congratuiation."
Col Elliott was broken down by his
services in the Philippines and was sent
to the Naval Hospital at Mare Island.
California, in March. 1900. In the follow

stored he was placed in command Of the

The Southern Railway has received four
new dining cars to be used between Wash
ington and Charlotte. NJ c. The cars cost
So. 200 and are different In many respects
from those operated on many of the east
ern lines. The most distinctive feature of
these new cars Is that the chairs placed at
the tables are not stationary, as is the
case in almost every one of the cars in
use in this section of the country. The
cars are lighted by electricity and by
patent arrangement in the pantries the
breakage Of glassware and china is re-
duced to a minimum This Is matter that
has been q serious consideration with the
railroad managers for some time past be-
cause Of the immense loss. The roads have
heretofore been compelled to spend $50 a
month to replace glassware. ETC.. broken

cars the equipment OF the road has been In
creased by the addition of fifty new pas
