Railroad Franchises.

The Twenty-hrst session OF the Leg
stature granted franchises and rights
oi-way to four different parties for rail
roads in the State of Nevada-one to c.
$. Lemon, who is To construct a line
seventy miles long, from Soda Springs
on the G. & G. to Tonopah; enc from a
point in Vegas Valley, thence in a
northorly and westerly direction, with
TonoRah the objective point at the
present time; one to Richard Kirman
and associates to run through a por-
Jon Of Douglas county, and the last to
an Eastern syndicate to run from Reno
To Pyramid Lake. The last named
road Is not certainty, the object in
granting the franchise being to show
the parties interested in the mines at
or near Pyramid Lake that the State
desired to make manifest an indication
Of interest in the work that is being
carried on in that section. The capt
talists from New York, who are carry
ing on extensive operations at Pyra-
mid. said that if the State would show
enough interest in the work that is
being done in their section by granting
franchise, the representatives of CAPT
tai invested near Pyramid would then
carry out the balance of the program.
Dir. Lemon has stated that the new
Tonopah road is being constructed by
Eastern capitalists and under the pro-
visions Of the franchise it will have to
be completed in fifteen months. Sur
veyors are now at work and the con-
straetion Of the grade will commence
shortly. This road will, in some re-
speets, be more fortunate than some of
the others. It passes through a sec
ton Of country where there are depos-
its Of coal. A company has been form
ed and title to the coal lands has been
perfected. Development work has
been started with good results. Ne
gotiations are being carried on, with
an object of securing coal from these
mines for fuel.
The road into Tonopah from the
south is to be constructed by the Clark
people, but the franchise is granted to
e. Z. Gibbon. OF late, in fact during
the past month, several large tracts of
land were secured by option from Otto
Sehults aud others in Carson City. AT
the time of the granting of these OPP
tions little significance was given TO
the matter. Since then developments
have caused joy in. the hearts of the
people Of Carson City and vicinity, for
it is now an assured fact that these
land deals have been made by the
Clark people, with view of ultimately
extending the Daggett and Tonopah
road into the territory of the Southern
Pacific. Those who are in a position
to know state that the line will I'M
doubtedly continue in a northerly di-
raetion, passing over the Sierras by
way of Beckwith Pass, with oonnec-
ton on the Oregon Short Line as the
objective point.
The right-of-way granted to Mr..
Giobon extends 10 some point in south
eTn Oregon.

The Presidents Visit.

Senator Newlands has written 4 let
ter to President Roosevelt presenting
an invitation OF the citizens of Storey
county to visit the ComstoolE and als0
the invitation OF DR.. Stubbs, President
of the Nevada State University, to ad-
dress the students and faculty.
Senator Newlands stated that il
would be most gratifying TO the people
of the State if, instead of returning to
Sacramento, the President could pre-
coed east from Reno to Ogden and Salt
Lake, as this would give the people of
the middle and eastern parts of the
State an opportunity to meet him.
He added that the people of the State
regardless of party, We're deeply ap-
preciative of the Presidents public
service, his character as a man and his
interest and aid in western develop
ment, and that they would extend to
him a most enthusiastic welcome.
Afterwards Senator Newlands called
on the President and personally pre-
sented these invitations. The Presi-
dent expressed his regrets that it
would be impossible to visit the COM
stock; as his itinerary contemplated
arrival at Reno at A. NJ, May 18th;
Carson $50 A. NJ, and departure from
Reno at Has A. NJ, same day, after an
hours stay He suggested that the
people of the Comstock desiring to see
him might come to Carson.-Journa

The "Katzenjammer Kids" Bali.

The "katZenJammer Kids +" Bali.
The bali given by tho "Katzenjam-
mer Kids" at Valhalla Hall last Friday
night proved to be one of the most
successful social events of the season.
There were about twenty-five couples
on the floor, which comfortably filled
the hall, and each one present had a
royal good time. The hall was artisti-
cally decorated for the occasion and
the foor was in excellent condition.
The music was furnished by Jarves'
Orchestra, which was strictly up-to-
date. At midnight the dancers adj
iourned to the Ritehford Hotel, where
a delicious repast was partaken Of, and
again bright lights were flashing
through the grand ballroom and, softly,
the music was playing sweet tunes"
The Katzeniammer Kids certainly
know how to entertain and deserve
credit for their successful undertaking.
1t is said that more young people--es-
peeially pretty girls attended this ball
than Gardnerville has had the pleas
ure of bringing into public view for
many seasons, and it is sincerely hoped
that the "hids' in the near future will
bring them together once more.
The dancers tripped the light fam

morn, when each one departed with a
satisfied smile and a congratulatory
goodnight to the Katzeniammer
Kids.

SKETCH OF THE NEW POPE.

The Successor of Leo XIII. Said to Be
a Man of Liberal Views.
Giuseppe. Sarto, the new pope, was
born in Riesi, diocese of Treviso, north
ern Italy, June 2, 1885, and was created
cardinal by Leo XIII. at the conslstory
of June IL, 1898, receiving the title of S.
Bernardo dele Terma. He is also
patriarch of Venice since June, 1893, and
bishop of Mantua. He belongs to the &C.
clesiastical congregations OF bishops
and regulars, sacred rites, indulgences
and sacred relics. .
Pope Plus x. is very learned in the &C.
clesiastical doctrines, is modest, ener-
getic, a good administrator and or
ganizer, a patron of the arts and his seri-
BUSINESS always has been proverbial.
Early in April Pope Leo, in CONVEX
sation with Father Perosi, the Italian
composer, said in speaking of Cardinal
Sarto: u;
Hold him very dear, Perosi, as in the
future he will be able to do much for
you. We firmly believe he will be our
successor" -
He has been known for many years as
one of the greatest preachers in the
church.
Plus x. enjoyed great popularity in
his diocese, and was honored by all for
his purity, for the strict uprightness of
his life and for liberal ideas. He is a
modest and agreeable man, highly Gull
tivated, kind-hearted, still strong and
robust in spite of his 68 years. He has
never taken much part in the political
and public life of the church, but has
divided his time. between study and good
works.
Although most faithful. to the holy
see, he was presented to the king and
queen of Italy in Venice. . He may be
considered among the more liberal
members of the Italian episcopate and
sacred college, He is rather timid in
expressing an opinion. It is said that
Leo XIII. always thought very highly
of him and sided with him on one 4oc-
casion when Sarto disapproved of Ram-
polla's policy. ~, 81
