WILL BUILD
A CUTOFF
From WabuSka to Hazen
Twenty-SeVen Miles.
Southern Pacific Railroad Have De-
cided to Build a Short Route
to Salt Lake City.

The BONANZA is informed on most
reliable authority that the Southern
Pacific railroad has decided TO build
a cutoff twenty-seven miles in length
from a point eight miles north of
Wabuska to Hazen, seven miles east
of Reno, thus saving the long haul up
the grade to Mound House, and con-
siderably shortening the route to
Salt Lake which would not only be of
great benefit to the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company, but would
also probably benefit the shippers of
ores from this district.
The only point now to be de-
cided is whether the road from Hazen
to Wabuska shall be marrow gauge
or standard. In the former case the
Western Ore Purchasing company
will build a big sampling plant at
Hazen, but il the standard gauge is
continued to the Wabuska end the
sampler would be installed there and
this latter plan would be preferable
as it would enable the smelters to
handle the immense tonnage Of low
grade copper ores blocked out at
Yerington which, however, cannot
stand the cost Of reshipment. 1t
is probable that work on the cutoff
will be commenced within sixty days.

MARSHAL EMMITT DEAD.
A Well Known and Respected
Official of This State.

United States Marshal Emmitt OF
Nevada died at the Lane hospital in
San Francisco Saturday morning at
q o'clock. He had been operated on
by his physicians and seemed to be
gaining strength rapidly when he
was suddenly called away.
Wednesday morning Colonel Maxon
and j.. A. Fitzgerald of Reno received
a telegram from Mrs. Emmitt asking
them to come to her husbands bed.
side Immediately. They responded
to the telegram and upon arriving
found Mr.. Emmitt's temperature to
be JOG and pulse 1870. The doctors
then believed that he was dying.
Nine physicians were in attendance
and eight of them said Marshal EN-
mitt was suffering from abscess of
the liver.
1t was decided that an operation
was necessary to save his life and
even then the chances were greatly
against him. The doctors performed
the operation ana discovered that his
liver was normal and his kidneys
and stomach in good condition.
After the operation Mr., Emmitt
rallied rapidly and it was thought
that he would recover, but just as a
new day began to break he quietly
passed away.
Marshal Emmitt was a native OF
Oregon and was 81 years of age. He
came to this state many years age
and was at one time sheriff of Washoe
county and always one of the leading
citizens OF the state. The deceased
leaves a widow and four children al
of whom reside in Carson City. Mar.
shall Frank Emmitt was one of the
most popular men in Nevada, strict
in his duties but kind to all, and he
leaves many good friends to regret
his death.

Not DIFFICULT TO GET FAT.
FIRST, Forget to Worry, Eat Nutritious
Foods and Get Plenty
OF Sleep.

It is as hard a task for some peo-
pie TO take On flesh as it is for others to
reduce their flesh. The person who
the opposite of the one who is seeking
to reduce his weight, says Medical Talk
for the Home
First of all, the lean person should
try to find the cause of his leanness. 1t
may be caused by improper food, wrong
habits of eating, bad cooking, or per-
haps the food he eats does not digest
or it is not assimilated; it may be due
to everwork and nervous exhaustion,
or there may be some disease of the
organs connected especially with nutri-
ton, as the stomach, liver, etc. In some
people leanness seems to be constitu-
tional or hereditary, and although they
may enjoy perfect health yet they al
ways remain thin
If the cause of the leanness can be
ascertained, of course then the treat
ment would consist in removing the
cause
The diet of the lean person should
consist of those foods that tend to pro-
luce fat. They are chiefly sugars and
starcheS. A good dietary for the lean
person would be an abundance of fat
| meats (beef, mutton, chicken, etc., but
ter, cream. milk, cocoa, chocolate, bread,
potatoes, beans, peas, cereals, especial
ly oatmeal and corn meal; tapioca, rice,
and sage pudding with sugar and cream;
cake, sweets, honey, strip and sweet
fruits.
The thin person should avoid pickles,
acid fruits, and should eat very sparing-
ly ofgreen vegetables
/ Light exercise should be taken every
day, especially exercise to strengthen
the digestive organs. The first thing in
the morning take ten or fifteen deep
breaths at an open window Learn to
breath abdominally, as this deep breath
ing strengthens the stomach and aids
In the digestion of food Then try this
exercise: Lie fiat on the back, raise
the feet perpendicular, bend the knees

be ride on a wheel in the open air,
breathing deeply as you ride But prop

less to attempt it unless other favoring
| conditions can be secured. Chief among
these, the mind should be entirely free
from mental strain or worry; incessant
| mental work or very active physical
| life will prevent the taking on of flesh.
A tranquil mind, an easy, luxurious life
| and warm climate are very conducive
| to gaining flesh. Of equal Importance is
| an abundance of sleep.
Summing it all up, then, the thin per-
son who wants to get fat should live
