GoldfieId May Have a Wood Famine

GoldfieId May Have Wood Famine.
Goldfield threatens to have a wood
famine. Special Officer White Of the
Forestry Department, and stationed at
Sacramento, is in town, and has issued
an order to all dealers in fuel Of this
nature that they will have to stop
buying wood from anyone. The deal
ers have also been enjoined from SELL
ing what wood they have in stock.
There are several mines that are
working steam hoists that will have
to shut down. Mr.. White has VISITED
Montezuma mountains and stopped the
woodchoppers from making stove
lengths of the pines. No one here
seems to understand the law, but it
is assumed that it is some Federal
statute that has been broken.-Tono,

ANOTHER REASON
Difficult to Beauty University
Grounds in Reno.


The University authorities have met
with many obstacles in their attempts
to beautify the grounds. The charcter
of the soil is such that trees AMI
lawns grow with difficulty. Those In
charge of the grounds have tried .or
many years to raise lawns on the cam
pus, but the same things have fnte:-
fered each year in the carrying out OF
their plans.
For this reason a systematic study
CT the soil was begun, and its peculiar
i nation was understood. A hard
pan Of alkali formation was discov.
cred several feet below the surface
When the lawns were sprinkled 1t was
found that the hardpan formation pre-
vented the water from seeping fur
Their into the soil. Consequently the
water would raise to the surface and
carry with it a large amount of alkali
which would soon kill of the lawns

THE NEW LisRARv.
The Capitol Commissioners Select a

The Capitol Commissioners Select
Site East Of the Main Building.
Yesterday the State Board of Capt
tol Commissioners decided to have the
new library erected in the rear of the
main building. It's west wall will be
about IS feet from the foot Of the west
steps. The building will conform II
style generally to the Capitol building
and made of prison stone as provided
for by the act.
Warden Considine of the prison, was
notified and the work of getting out
the rock form the prison quarry will
begin with an extra force Monday.
The building will be connected with
the second story of the capitol with
an iron bridge. Elsewhere the Board
advertises for the submission Of plans
and specifications for the work. They
have 60 days in which plans can be
submitted.
In this connection the Reno Obser-
yer makes the following suggestions
Let a rotunda be built between the
present building and the new struc-
ture, say fifty feet in diameter, the
rear door of the present building en-.
larged so as to be proper entrance
and opposite this in the rotunda q sim
liar arch or door leading into q YES.
thule, or to the library entrance, the
stairs leading to the court room and
the Judges chambers rising from both
sides of the vestibule. The rotunda
should be domed shape, after some
ornamental design or plan and q por-
| ton of the sides. also the dome GOV.
cred with glass. The floor Of the TO
tunda should be Of maple or some
similar material, or better still a mot.
tied cement laid in uniform squares c.
blocks. The center of the rotunda
could be ornamented with a fountain,
or stand for potted plants or some
figure or piece of statuary represent
ing various industries of the State.
Other attractive features could be
placed in this rotunda. such for IN
stance, as the big cabinets now in the
hallsways of the Capitol building a.
/, we'll as some Of the collections now in
the State museum.
The suggestions here offered are
rather crude. but will serve for some
one to shape up and elaborate upon
and the new structure could be ma1e
most attractive addition to the
present building and very much more
convenient than II it was erected OF
some lot at a distance.

THE TRUckEE RIVER BILL
The Governor Thinks the Present Act
Covers the Ground.

Covers the Ground.
To the Honorable the Secretary Of
State,
Sir:--
have the honor to deposit with you
without approval Assembly bill Nd.
125. An Act to amend an Act entitled
IAN Act to prevent the pollution or
contamination of the waters OF the
lakes, rivers, streams and bitches In
the State of Nevada"
Ny objections to the provisions of
this bill are that it differs from the
Act which it amends in no essential
feature, except to extend the time OF
completion. The Legislature will as
semble again before the time limit
expires, and If necessary it may be
extended. We have sued our neigh
bors across the line in California for
polluting the waters of the Truckee
River. It would certainly be COM
mendable il we began the practice
among ourselves of keeping the wat
ers of our streams and lakes as free
from pollution as Ye wish California
to keep them.
The people of Reno and others living
contiguous to the Truckee River have
been very dilatory in commencing the
system of drainage and sewerage as
required by the law enacted two years
ago, thereby subjecting thousands Of
people to the use of the contaminated
waters flowing in the Truckee River.
Not only this but they have contri-
buted immensely to its impurities
renderin it more deleterious to both
health and life.
Two years of precious time have
been wasted without any steps having
been taken to assist those So exposed,
and as there are two years omre to run
1 do not feel warranted In extending
the time.
Taking into consideration the rapid
growth of Reno and Sparks, work
should, under the law. begin at once
and be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible Respectfully

MAXIMO GOMEX DEAD.
IdoIized Patriot of Cuba Joins tho ST.

A special from Havana says: Gen.
eral Maxine Gomez died at o'clock
Saturday evening.
Eel Claudillo" (chieftain) as the
great leader Of revolutionists was
called by his countrymen, expired
at sunset in the presence of his fam
lily and his old time friend, Estrada
Palma, president of the republic. The
end came quietly in the beautiful TEN
porary home at the seaside in the sub.
urb of Vedado.
The distinguished patients illness
extended over forty-slx days, although
his health had been failing for
months prior to that time.
The admiration of the mass of Gu
bans for General Gomez amounted al
most to idolatry. His death admit
tedly is a severe blow to any political
interest 20 which he was allied. He
was one of the most radical leaders
Of the national party. General Gomez
leaves a widow, five sons and one
daughter.
Only Saturday the secretary OF the
treasury delivered to one of General
Gomez sons a check for 100000,
which had been voted unanimously by
congress for the generals benefit anc
approved by the president. This was
in addition to the $4,000 previously
voted by congress.
General Gomez commanded the Gu
ban forces during the insurrection
which broke out in 1895 and ended
with the complete independence OF
the island on May 20, 1902. He wss
born at Bani. Santo Domingo, in 1886
and came of a Spanish family. He
began life as a cavalry officer in the
Spanish army in Santo Domingo and
served during the last occupation OF
Santo Domingo by Spain. In the war
with Hayti Gomez distinguished him
self at the battle of Tome, where, with
twenty men, he routed a much supe'
rior force of Haytiens. When the
Spaniards were driven from the island
Gomez went with the Spanish troops
to Cuba, and for time was in garri-
son at Santiago. Later, disguised at
the manner in which the Spanish gen.
.ral, Villar, treated some starving Gu
ban refugees, for whom Gomez had
collected funds, the young lieutenant
severed his connection with the Span.

General Villar's conduct that he

THREE VICTIMS OF MOOSE
Murderers Of Young Woman and a Po.
liceman Pay Penalty Of Crimes
at Decatur, Alabama,

Harvey Smith, John Collier and
Will Jackson, colored, were hanged
in the Jail yard at Decatur, Ala, Fri.
day afternoon.
Troops were present as a precau-
tionary measure, but there was no dis
order. Smith and Collier were hanged
for the murder Of Miss Belle Blood
worth and Jackson for the murder of
Officer E. L. Steele.
Two thousand people surrounded
the jail during the execution. The
three men were hanged together, but,
when the drop fell, the knot slipped
On Smiths neck, and he dropped to
the ground, crying:
THANK God, l am free; yes, l am
free!"
He was picked up in a semi-con-
scious condition and hanged a second
time, the rope drawing so taut that
it cut deep into his flesh. Smith was
practically unconscious when the drop
fell the second time, and had to be
held up on the scaffold as the rope
was adjusted
Both Smith and Collier protested
their innocence to the last, while
Jackson claimed he killed Officer
Steele in self-defense.
Smith and Collier were convicted
Of assaulting and killing Miss Belle
Bloodworth, popular and well known
young lady of Decatur. The boldness
of the crime startled the whole state.
Miss Bloodworth was at the store Of
Mr.. Wilkinson in the afternoon about
dark and telephoned her home telling
her mother she was on her way there.
One OF the negroes was at the store
at the time and the testimony showed
that the two followed her for several
squares and then, when she was near
a dark street, but almost in the heart
of the city, they attacked her.
She evidently gave them hard
fight for her life, for the ground
around the spot was torn up consid-
erably. Wien Miss Belle did not get
home in some time her mother be-
came anxious and began inquiries. A
search was made and the dead And
bruised body Of the young lady was
found in a yard near the place where
she was attacked. Posses were i'm
mediately organized. No trace could
be found. Large rewards were offer
ed and special detectives from all over
the country took up the search. Al.
ter some time clew was secured,
and after working faithfully for some
time, the two negroes were arrested.
While the people of Decatur were
still talking Of the murder OF Miss
Bloodworth, Jackson shot and killed
officer E. L. Steele, who was carrying
him to the lookup. Jackson was ar
rested on the charge Of being a va
grant and, while en- route to jail, he
snatched the officers pistol and shot
him through the brain. Several peo-
pie caught him before he could es-
cape.
