NOTED VISITORS COMING.
Party of Congressmen Expect to
Make Trip to Coldfeld.

Shortly after the adjournment of con-
gress, a party of about ten of the prom
inent congressman that are now and will
be members of the next congress, are
expected to leave Washington on a tour
of the Western states with Nevada as
their principal objective point. Con-
gresham Van Duzer will accompany
the party westward and will see to it
that the distinguished gentlemen are
entertained within the boundaries of the
Sagebrush state.
En- route to Nevada, the land of u n
shine and silver, and gold, and wonder
full agricultural possibilities, the party
will stop for a day at Denver and Salt
Lake and be shown the points OF inter-
est in those two cities. Between Zion
and Reno no stop will be made. One
day will be spent in the "Pittsburg" OF
the West, from which point the gen.
tlemen will be escorted to the ground
where the government is prosecut-
ing the work of digging the great ir-
rigating canal. This trip will be a very
interesting one to the congressman, as
nearly every one that will be a member
of the party, was a member in the con-
gress that passed the Newlands irriga-
ton act.
After a thorough inspection of the ir-
rigation work, Virginia City will be Wis
tied and a trip made through the Won
derful mines of the ComstOck, after
which the party will visit Tonapah, Gold
field and vicinity for about ten days and
given an opportunity to witness for
themselves the greatest of mining camps
for many years, and be convinced that
what Congressman Van DuZer has been
preaching t O them about his state have
been facts which only seeing could bring
to a realization. After leaving this Sec
ton the congressman will take a trip to
Mt. Tamalpias and thence to the Golden
Gate city, from which place the party
will separate and return to their re-
spective homes to remain until the be-
ginning of the 59th congress.
This will be the most distinguished
party that has ever come to visit us.
Receptions will be arranged for at Reno,
Virginia City, Tonopah and Goldfield,
and the gentlemen will be given a hos
pitable welcome, for we have within the
limits of our state citizens who know
how to entertain royalty.
The following will be the personnel OF
the party: Representatives John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, Champ Clark
and David DeArmond of Missouri, Ollie
NJ. James of Kentucky, John A. Sulli-
van, of Boston, Mass, Robert F. Brous-
sard of Louisiana, Allan Benny and Will
liam Hughes of New Jersey, e.. ID.
Weisse of Wisconsin and G. ID. Van
Duzer of Nevada.
Arthur Dunn. the Washington CORE
spondent of the Associated Press, who is
considered one the brightest journalists
of the American press, will accompany
the party and give the details OF the trip
and other interesting features that arise
during the stay in Nevada.

OOLDFIELD SETTINGS.
BY WILLARD PACKARD HATCH.

A. +. Humphrey of Denver, has
Just completed the purchase OF n
hundred and sixty acres of land, lay
ing five hundred feet south of the
Combination, and extending to with
in four hundred feet of the postoffice.
Mr.. Carleton, his partner in the en-
terprise, says that if they do not dis
cover gold they will use the land for
colonizing, and get all of the Colorado
people in town, and there are W.
500 of them, to start a miniature
Utopia.
Here's to Aubrey, of Columbia,
A man who's got us beat,
Proud father of twins, and girls at
that,
Up to the bar and drink your whisky
neat.
Bat Masterson has been appointed
deputy United States Marshall for a
New York district. His friend, Mr..
Bartholomew, who used to be sheriff
in Leadville in the old days, and
could keep a can rolling along the
ground by repeated shots from his re-
volver, is in Goldfeld, and tells many
interesting stories of pioneer mining
life.
Two agents of the Denver Post took
out $500 from Goldfield business
men for articles in the special edi-
ton. That is going some, but all
they need to tell is the truth and we
will get our moneys worth.
Colonel Browne, who drove into
town PAS miles from the Santa Fe,
aliehting with a smile beneath his
dust-ridden features, has again
proved the old saying of the man who
claimed that when he sat at the ia
BILE the beefsteak disappeared just as
fast as it did 40 years ago. 1t isn't
always the young mar that gets the
best of it.
A masque ball, a prize fight, $50
deals in real estate, negotiations for
the purchase of one of the big mines
of the district at a fabulous price, an
estimate by travelling men that there
are between $1,000 and 30, 900 people
preparing to come in in the spring,
the town of Goldfeld ought to fall
into the fad and get a motto.
Query: Ii you love n woman
who has no money, and another
woman loves you who is wealthy, but
whom you would rather pay than
live with, and there is still another
who has a small amount of looks, a
little capital, but 10 sense, and whom
you have no feeling for one way or
the other, and suppose you need
money, but that you have health and
think you can make it, and suppose
it costs $500 a month for two to live
in Goldield, and suppose that you
have passed the age where you feel
that you can live on love alone, yet
you cannot feel that money alone
makes happiness, which girl would
you choose. Answer: the other, if
her mother didn't object.
w. S. Williams confesses that he
ate mince pie the night before, but

right" We would Haight to say,
but the old man in the corner ejacu-
lates, "Mebbe he were, mebbe he
were"

RULE IS ILLEGAL
States Attorney Gives Opinion
on Bridge Act of Coun-
ty Board.
AS MEANS OF PROTECTION
Townships May Raise Their Half of
Funds in Either of Three
Ways.

Supervisor F. \. Wood. of Edging-
ton. chairman of the bridges commit
tee of the county board, has asked for
an opinion from States Attorney J. K
Scott in regard to the legality of the
rule adopted recently by the board re-
quiring townships to raise money by
bond issue alone for bridge building
purposes before the county will fur
nish its half, as required by law. Most
of the bridges in the county have been
put in under this act during late
years
The object in adopting the rule. it
may be stated. was in order to be sure
that townships made definite provision
for raising their portion of the funds.
an intimation being made at the time
of its adoption that there was a posi-
bility that bridge companies might
contract at a price that would give
profit on the county's half and the
township might never furnish any part
of the funds. This was deemed the
more possible in view of the fact that
when the township makes application
III the proper way il is mandatory on
the county 10 act. Thus il would be
possible for a deal to be arranged be
tween the bridge agents and the town
ship highway commissioners and the
county board would bear the expense.
But il appears that the rule the
board adopted TO avoid such a situa-
ton is not legal, according TO states
attorney, who holds that there are
three legal methods for townships To
raise money for bridge building or
other purposes.
The Opinion
Mr.. SCOTS opinion is as follows:
Dear Sir-In reference to the ques-
ton that you asked me concerning the
manner in which towns may raise
their one-half of the expense of con
structing bridges, in which they ask
the aid of the county for the other one
half of the expense / beg to hand you
the following opinion: Section 10,
Chapter 121 of the revised statutes
relative TO roads, etc. provides that
the county board shall appropriate a
sum sufficient TO meet one-half of the
expense of said bridges or other work.
on condition that the town asking aid
shall furnish the other one-half Of the
required amount
do not find anywhere a direct
statement as to how the town asking
aid shall raise this amount, and / am
of the opinion that 20 far as the county
is concerned, it is immaterial how the
town does raise it, The law is very
plain that the county shall furnish it

find that towns may raise money
for such a purpose in three ways. as
follows: Under Section 20 of Chapter
l21 aforesaid a bond issue may be
made to enable the town TO borrow
money for the above specified purpose.
Under Section IA of Chapter 121
aforesaid. an additional tax levy. in
view of some contingency, may be
made.
Law Quoted.
The following law which was passed
and approved May l3. 1908. is an
amendment of Section l19 of the chap
ter aforesaid, which provides among
other things as follows: Provided,
that if the commissioners of highways,
or any three legal voters, shall give
notice by posting notices in At least
three of the most public places of the
town, at least ten days before the an
nual town meeting. that a larger
amount of money will be required for
the purpose of constructing or repair
ing roads or bridges in their town than
can be realized from the real, personal
by law TO be assessed by the commits
sionerS, the legal voters. present at
such meeting may authorize an addi-
tional amount TO be raised by tax not
exceeding forty cents on each one hun
bred dollars valuation, and said board
snail cause the same to be extended
as one tax on the collectors books OF
said town, to be collected as other
taxes, and when collected shall be paid
TO the treasurer of the commissioners
by the collector as fast as the same is
collected, except such rate per cent as
shall be allowed for collecting same.
You will see from the sections |
have quoted you above that the town
ships may raise money to build or re
pair roads or bridges in any of the
three ways that l have designated. As
stated before, in Section L. of the
chapter aforesaid. where the county is
asked for aid it is immaterial to the
county how the town raises the money.
II is my opinion that If the town raises
the money in legal manner, or any
of the three methods above stated, and
asks the coutny for the other one-half
of the expense. that the county is
bound TO extend that aid.
Conflicts with Law.
The board of supervisors may have
adoped rules stating that aid will only
be extended when the town shall have
collected the money in a certain man
ner, but | do not think that such a
rule. if It conflicts with a state law,
which this one does, by limiting the
method Of raising the money TO one OF
the sections quoted aforesaid. will hold.
trust that | have made my position
clear TO you, and will be glad TO go into
the matter more in detail at any fu-
ture date. Very truly yours,
