Guarding Against Floods.

Another family has vacated a
residence in the flood district of
the city in order that the owner
of the property can raise it a few
feet and thus avoid few Of our
frequent floods. 1t would be very
sensible and in order, it seems,
if many more would become i'm
pressed with this method Of keep
ing out of floods since they are
becoming more numerous each
year. This spring we experienced
two up in town and two others
up to the top of the banks. 1t
is uncertain, it seems, in regard
to these low sections and early
precautions are usally wise.

AS to Death Re-
port.

The chief satisfaction in charge
OF the division of vital statistics in
the government census bereau, has
written to DR.. L. b. Beatty, scc-
rotary of the Utah State board of
health. in reference to the reg
istration of deaths required by
law. He intimates that unless the
necessary reports are made by
physicians and unde rtakers, it will
be necessary to resort to some
prosecutions. The laws of Nevada
are grossly neglected in that par
ticular. Such records are abso-
lutely necessary in any State in
the union and the law should be
enforced in Nevada and every other
State.

AGREED TO HANG THEM.
Governor White and MIR. Dawson
Enter Into Compact to Let
Corporations Escape.

"BY AGREEMENT the propos-
ed special taxes on banks, oil, gas,
coal, or an others, where agree
ment cannot be reached-are
dropped and are not to figure in
the current political campaign,
but to be considered in the reve-
nue. act to be framed for 1907"
Thus wrote His Excellency, the
Governor, to S. T. Mallory, of this
city, and thus another evidence
of the duplicity and deception of
the Dawson campaign is given.
Mr.. Dawson was a party to that
agreement, as was Governor
White, and it will be interesting
to wait and see if Governor White
will inculcate in his call for spe-
cial session of the Legislature the
imposition of license taxes, which
Dawson and his organs have been
constantly harping on, as one of
the matters of business to be con-
Sidered.
If it is embodied in that call
they publicly violate as a matter
of record the sacred compact that
they entered into with the two
Senators, all the Congressman and
the balance Of the party leaders.
If they do not embody it in the
call, the insincerity of both His
Excellency and his candidate, Mr..
Dawson, is openly and brazenly
proclaimed by themselves.-Park-
ersburg News Republican,.
