WORK
On New Hazen-FaIIon Rail.
road An Assured
Fact.
Senator Williams Completes Right
of Way and Gives Depot Site.

Senator w. W. Williams returned
Wednesday from San Francisco, where
he went last week in company with
j. A. Bailey. While away the senator
investigated the railroad rumors that
have been persistently going the rounds
for the past few weeks and learned from
the San Francisco headquarter, OF the
Hartman system OF their genuineness.
There is now absolutely no doubt but
that the Hazen- Falon branch will be
built, and it is more than likely that the
road will be extended to Saltwater or
near there whenever construction is
commenced. The only matter Upon
which there hinges any uncertainty Is
just when the work OF construction will
commence
However, the general opinion among
those who knowis that the present large
force of Southern Pacific employes en-
gagged in the work OF ballasting the
Hazen cut.off will be transferred to the
work of building the new branch when.
ever their present undertaking is COM
pleted and that January lst will witness
it's completion. However, the senator
states that this was subject upon
which the Southern Pacific Company
officials were very reticent.
At the present time there is said to
be material at Hazen for the building
oil the first ten miles, including steel
rails OF medium weight.
The senator stated that while away
he completed arrangements with the
Southern Pacific Company whereby he
transferred to it decided right of way
scrossa a strip OF his property situated
nearest town 200 feet wide and $500
feet long. The balance OF his property
is traversed by a right OF way 100 feet
wide.
The accuracy OF this report has acted
as decided stimulus to the general con-
fidence in the towns future and it is
more than likely that the next few
weeks will witness much activity in
building and real estate circles.
The survey, which will in all likeli-
hood be followed by the projected line
will enter town across the " Williams ad n
but for the present the depot site is un-
determined. However, it can be posi-
lively stated that the railroads place
of business will be erected at a point
convenient to the present business sec-
tion OF the town.

RECORD RUN
ACROSS COUNTRY

Record breaking time was made by
the Hartman special on its run from
Sparks to Ogden. This trip was made
at an average speed OF ffty-six miles
an hour including stops. The run
from Reno to Winnemueea was made
in three hours and twenty minutes, an
average speed OF ffty.fve miles per
hour
From Lovelock TO Winnemucca tire
average speed was a mile a minute
Engineer George Abbay was at the
throttle of the head engine between
Sparks and Winnemucca From VIM
nemucca to Carlin the train was pull
ed by Engineer Cy Oliver. The en-
gines were all in readiness at Win
nemucca and only few minutes were
lost there.
All passenger trains from the east
were delayed several hours on account
of the special. All trains were placed
on the sidings in order that the run
OF the special should not be inter
ferred with and special guards were
placed at each switch to insure that
they could not be tampered with.
The speed made by the special will
probably not be equalled again over
the same road for a considera bic
length of time, ii ever.

GEORGE GOULD
GOVERNOR SPARKS

For the first time since the Western
Pacific has been prophesied George J.
Gould has come into the open and
publicly an. .ounced that he is behind
the movement.
In a letter received by Governor
Sparks Tuesday Mr.. Gould says that
he is now building a railroad through
Nevada which sto connect by means OF
branch lines with the principal towns in
the state. Without equivocation he
states that he is one OF the Western
Pacific which is ample assurance that
the road is no longer an idle threat
against the Hartman system for the
purpose of obtaining better traffic
agreements but will soon become a
reality.
On October 4th Governor Sparks
wrote to Mr.. Gould assuring him of the
sympathy entertained by the people OF
Nevada for the Western Pacific. The
governor stated that the people OF
Nevada were deeply interested in the
construction OF the Western Pacific and
assured the president of the great
Gould system that when the Western
Pacific entered Nevada that it would be
shown every, favor by the state and
that no hardships in the form OF taxa.
ton would be placed upon il.
In concluding the governor said he
hoped the Western Pacific would en-.
ter Carson. He closed by inviting Mr.
Gould to visit him the first time he
made trip through the west
Mr.. Gould's reply was received Tues.
day and was made public Wednes-
day by the governor. The latter is
greatly pleased with the strong assur-
snces of Mr. Gould and regards it as
settled that the Western Pacific will
carry its lines not only to Carson but
to the other large cities in Nevada on
both sides or its main line.
Within the next few weeks Mr..
Gould and party are expected to make
a trip to the coast and when they do
they will be publicly entertained by
the people of Carson Gazette.

Young Women Buck Tiger

Reno sports few nights ago were en-
tanned by 20 or more stylishly dressed
young women bucking the tiger in a
large gaming house of that city. They
belonged to the chorus of a travelling
troupe and after the performance the
girls and their escorts took in the
town. They were admitted to the
gaming houses where the clink of coin
and rattle OF the dice is heard all the
time, and after watching the games for
a short time their sporting nature was
aroused and soon they were plunging
as heavily as any old gambler in the
house. Some of the girls went broke
and some won few dollars.

Churchill Man Buys Cattle.

Thomas Doll returned Saturday from
Lander county, where he has been for
the past few weeks in company with
F. X. WALTZ, Santa Cruz, California,
cattle buyer, purchasing beef cattle.
Mr.. Doll states that during that time he
bought 200 head of two and three year
old beef steers, which are now being
fed for the San Francisco market at his
ranch below town. The price paid was
five cents.

pit on the cutoff some miles south OF

FOR SAFETY ON RAILROADS.
Three Systems of Switching That Are
In Operation.

The split switch is considered one
of the safest devices In modern rail-
reading. 1t is in use on every great
system. It's opposing points are known
as the trailing switch and the facing
switch.
With the trailing switch accidents
are impossible. With the facing
switch the possibility Of an accident
such as occurred on the Lake Shore,
is ever present. Any train at any
speed might jar the flange- of the
wheels against the wrong track. An
opening of an inch might do the dam
age, and this would not be noticed by
the engineer. Such small movement
would not put the switch light out.
The reliability of the facing switch
is that of any piece of mechanism. Its
getting out of order is always a posi-
bility. Over the old stub switch, how
ever, it has an Unreasonable adva9-
tage.
The facing switch is allowed only to
gain time. With trailing point, it is
necessary for every train to stop and
back up in order to make a switch.
With the heavy freight trains that now
are run on the trunk lines this means
a loss of many minutes. For years the
Northwestern and other railroads have
been eliminating facing points from
high speed tracks.
Railroad officials claim that train
running at any speed might cause an
accident like that on the Lake Shore.
This rule, however, is taken as prac-
teal admission of the greater danger
of such an accident with high speed
trains.
"These rules look all right in the
book and the directors like to read

Source of Gomez Strength.

Gen. Maxine Gomez, the Cuban pa
triot, who died a few days ago, was
thus described by one who campaigned
with him before American interven-
ton: "He is a gray little man. His
clothes do not fit well, and, perhtps,
if you saw it in a photograph, his fig.
ure might seem old and ordinary But
the moment he turns his keen eyes
on you they strike like blow from
the shoulder. You feel the will, the
fearlessness, and the experience of
men that is in those eyes and their
owner becomes a gitr.t before YOU"
