Weekly Bank Statement
offered a Warning.
STIFF MONEY MARKET
THERE WAS A GENERAL DOWN
WARD TENDENCY IN STOCKS.
Group of Industrial Specialties Among
Railway Equipments Notable Ex-
ceptions-High Rate for Loans.

NEW YORK, October THE weekly
bank statement offered warning of the
small reliance to be placed on yesterday s
late decline in the call money rate as a re-
fection of the situation of the money mar
ket. Speculative sentiment was brought
to the conclusion that stiff money mar
ket was likely to continue for the immedi-
ate future, and there was selling of stocks
in consequence.
A group of Industrial specialties, mostly
among the railroad equipment stocks, with
American Locomotive conspicuous leader,
were notable exceptions to the general
downward tendency. The movement In
these was of professional origin quite
largely, but had as a substantial basis the
extraordinary need of the railroads
throughout the country for large increases
In facilities to accommodate the flood of
traffic which is coming upon them.
The strength of this handful of stocks,
however was of little effect in sustaining
the general market, and the closing was
easy at net declines, running to point or
over for many of the prominent active
stocks. The decrease in cash shown by the
bank statement ran to SS.454, 100, thus con-
siderably exceeding the largest of the pre-
liminary estimates based on the known
movements Of money
This showing Is regarded a rectifica-
ton In part of the unexplained increase in
CaSn reported last week, thOugn Inc 1ull
amount of the discrepancy is by no means
accounted for. The showing strengthens
the supposition that gold engagements have
been figuring in bank reserves as soon as
made without waiting for their actual re-
ce!pt. The effort of the decline in cash on
the surplus was modified by the scaling
down of the deposits through a contraction
OF S11, ,SS9, 400 in outstanding loans.
Inroad Upon Surplus limited.
The inroad upon the surplus was thus
limited to $3,153,s50, bringing that item
down to 81. 2se. 175 The loan contraction is
believed to be due largely to the taking
over of loans from the banks by out-of-
town institutions, which have drawn on
their New York deposits for that purpose
during the week. Another withdrawal of
$2O00000 from the Bank of England for
shipment TO Egypt showed the drain upon
the depleted reserve of that institution un-
relieved and pointed to the maintenance of
money rates in foreign markets.
Total sales of bonds, par value, 81, ,T50, 600
The continued high rates for money this
week have suppressed any great specula-
tive activity in stocks. Early in the week
the money market gave indications of re-
taxation from the strain of the special
causes which have made heavy demand
upon banking resources, and the market
showed evidence of positive strength. When
money rates tightened again active at
tempts to advance prices were desisted
from, and a dull resistance to depression
took the place OF advances.

Favors For HomesteaderS.

Special Agent White, of the In
terror Department, who visited
this section last spring for the
purpose of investigating the va
rious homestead entries. says
that the government has avow-
ed it's intention of exercising ex-
treme leniencv in all cases where
the entrymen have failed to es-
tablish a bona ide residence or
otherwise neglected to live up to
the law, if any extenuating cir
cumStances exist. He stated
that parties instituting contests
should have the best OF evidence.
On the other hand, it is the SIN
cere desire of che government
to place the lands OF the Carson
Sink section in a condition that
these same eXtenuating circum-
stances will not exist, for it is
realized that unless bona tide
homes are made the very pur-
pose for which the government
is working, through its reclama-
ton department, will be defeat
ed. Unfortunate circumstances
have been responsible for the
lenient stand of the government
authorities, but this deals only
with the present. Whenever the
water delivery to the new lands
shall have occurred, a bona fde
residence will be required or can
collation. of the entry must fol
low. During Mr.. Whites visit
to the Carson Sink last spring
he found many homesteads tenn
porarily abandoned, but unless
the case is Il palpGble one. it will
likely be held over until next
spring, when it is thought water
will be had.

Stop That Howling.

If the Piutes who form a CON
siderable portion of the popula-
ton of this town are to main
tain their tribal customs, rather
than assimilate the ways of the
respectable pale face, it might be
we'll for the officers to investi-
gate the various nuisanceS aris-
ing therefrom. Now we feel that
the noble red man is deserving
of a great deal of credit, for he is
broken in both physique and
mind by contact with his strong
er brother of the pale faced vari-
ETY., but let it not be understood
that this contact has effected his
voice in the least. On the CON
trary it seems that all his lost
energy has found resting place
in his vocal chords and the forces
pent up since the time of the In
dian wars find violent expression
during the small hours of the
night when decent people try to
rest. If a white man should be
guilty of half the disturbance
emanating from the Piute camp
during the past few weeks he
would soon grace the interior of
the county bastile. This would
be right. 1t would also be right
to remind the Piute colony that
there are civilized neighbors near
their village who are being dis
tuibed nightly. There are lands
reserved for the use of the Piute
and unless he can be made to
abandon his heathenish customs
he should be made to use them.
This was the orr ginal motive in
grant ting these lands and why
they have been unused is more
than anyone seems to know.
We do not seek to detract from
the credit due the Churchill coun-
ty Piute, for ordinarily he is
thrifty, and in many cases makes
a most intelligent worker along
certain lines, but his methods of
treating the sick and mourning
the dead are unbearable to his
white neighbors whose inter
est in the matter should not be
overlooked.

CHURCHILL A
SILENT PARTY.
The Lyon-Storey Suit
May Seriously At
feet Us.

Judge c. E. Mack, who APP
peared before the County Com
missioners last Monday on bust
ness connected with the filing of
the Hazen townsite map, called
the attention of the county Off
cials to the fact that q large
part of Churchill countv's anat-
omv had been ieopardized by the
contentious of Storey county,
which resulted in the recent suit
between that county and Lyon
county IN which the latter
was victorious. According to
Judge Mack, Storey county has
filed notice for a new trial and
promises another stubborn con
test for the coveted territory.
At the last trial the Jury stood
ten to two on the question of
the respective rights of the two
counties. The contentious of
Storey county are based on the
location of Reeds station in the
year 1861, when the bounda-
ries of the two contending coun-
ties were fixed by act of Leg
lature Ofnecessity the witnesses
in the trial mentioned were all
old settlers whose memories were
called upon to designate the To-
cation OF Reeds station on the
date mentioned. However, i'll
the event of Storey county's new
trial being productive of new ev-
idence in her favor sufficient to
result III victory in the contest,
the change i'll boundary prayed
for would also effect a CORES
ponding change i'll this county,
in which event Churchill county's
line would run near the A. NJ.
Trolson ranch above Leetvllle,
and in addition to losing some
six miles Of railroad track led
we would also lose the present
town of Hazen. In view of this
fact, it certainly behooves this
county to lend both moral and
financial aid to Lyon county in
the coming fight promised by
Storey county.

A Bad Niger.

Vim. Johnson, a mulalto, who
is charged by Pedro Ayada, a
Mexican, with assault with a
dangerous weapon, committed
last week in the lodging house
run in connection with l.. w.
Jacobs saloon, was arrested in
Reno Thursday and returned to
this place yesterday. He will
have his hearing next Monday.
He deposited 500 cash bail to
insure his appearance. Accord
ing to the Mexican's S story, the
assault was unprovoked and if
one is to Judge from the physical
evidence presented by the vic
tins body it was also brutal.
Johnson is a bad nigger, and has
n paramour who is SAID to in
habit the Hazen tenderloin. He
follows gambling for a vocation
and number of crooked devices
were found on HIM al the time of
his arrest, including crooked dice
and n concave mirror attached
to cigar holder in a way that
would not allow of detec-
ton but which at the same time
enabled the user to read his op-
ponent's cards as dealt. After
examining the pocket relies of
Mr.. Johnson, we are of the opin-
ion that he is a very bad and
unfair niger, and following his
trial for assault lie will likely be
given a chance to vacate the
Churchill county section.

of new lands which the Reclama-
tion authorities hope to have
opened for settlement next seas
on. Mr.. Taylor informs us that
water can be furnished these
lands independent OF the Tahoe
project, but that it would nee
essarily be in limited quantities
and only during the earlier part
of the season.
Such an exigency is not deem
ed likely, however, but should it
occnr, Vandall and the pooled
interests will be required to give
bonds in the sum of 100000,
as this is the governments esti-
mate of the loss that would be
incurred by second restraining
order. This sum includes the es-
timated property loss accruing
to the new lands through the
shortage of water resulting, and
the first premium of $3.50 per
acre, which would be due for
the first water premium on De-
cember /, 1906. This latter
sum would not be subject to
collection, unless the full deliv-
cry of water had occurred.
Mr.. Taylor informs us that no
action that the contending in
terests may take, can have any
permanent effect on the Carson
project, for should it be neces-
sary, condemnation proceedings
would be instituted to secure
control Of the Tahoe dam site.

The ruth.

The Reno papers have discov-
cred another disease bugaboo
and transferred their careful at
tention from the microbe infested
ravines of Tonopah and Gold
field to the plains of Carson
Sink. Please be lenient, broth
ers. We have sickness-more

frain from borrowing reports
from peddlars of hot air. Ifyou
want accurate information, seek
it, and in the meantime don't
commence crusade that would
work irreparahle damage to
this section. It would rebound
nothing to your credit. We are
informed by the two physicians
q. this city that there are now II
cases of typhoid in town and l
in the adjoining country. SAM
tary conditions are bad at the
present time, but the county
health officers are bending every
effort towards remedying this
condition. In the meantime, if
we have any surplus energy let
us use it in rendering the sick re-
lief and seek to make their suffer
ings less. We are only paying
the price of carelessness, and the
lesson once learned will avail for
a long time TO come. Let us
hope that the present remedial
efforts will be instrumental in
effecting the desired results, and
that those who have been strick-
en- may recover.

TAHOE IN
TERESTS SUE.
Parties To The Suit
Must Give a Bond
For 100000.

on business connected with Ills
work. He returned Sunday
from San Francisco, where he
was unavoidably detained by
the recent suit instituted by the
Tahoe property owners against
the United States government.
According to Mr.. Taylor, the
interests of the Floriston Com
pany, the Truckee General Elec-
trio Company and a number of
individual farmers were pooled
and their respective rights vest
ed in one Murray F. Vandau,
who appeared as the party in
the suit.
The evidence submitted at the
trial brought out the following
facts:
Following the declaration of
the governments policy in It'll
izing the waters of Lake Tahoe
in the irrigation of lands en-
braced by the Carson project,
the plaintiffs in the present suit
purchased the lands upon which
the old Tahoe dam ADULTS with
a view to getting control of the
water supply of the lake. In the
meantime the government pur-
chased the right of way owned
by the Donner Lumber and Boom
Company, as we'll as all their
canals and conduits. This lat
ter deal was consummated
about year ago, and included
an artificial outlet from Lake
Tahoe to the Truckee river, 1000
feet long, with a viey: Of having
a water channel independent Of
lands OF the plaintiffs.
Following this action, the
government entered into a con-
tract with Edward Malley. a
San Francisco contractor, for
the construction of an artificial
outlet with dam and regulating
head gates to be situated on the
lands purchased of the Donner
Company, with view to con-
trolling the future flow of the
Truckee river.
Now. the Vandall interests
come in and set up a claim to
the exclusive right to build dams
and conduits, and pending the
introduction of furtherI evidence,
the Superior Court of the Coun-
ty of San Francisco on July 31st
issued temporary Injunction in
favor of the plaintiffs. restrain
ing the government from doing
any further work. On August
sd, the United States attorney
appeared in the San Francisco
court and asked that the order
be modified in order to allow
United States Contractor Nal
ley to proceed with his work,
and to complete the artificial
channel up to, but not into Lake
Tahoe. This request was grant
ed, and the work was author
lied to proceed to within 100
feet of the shore line of the lake.
In the ms antime Mallev has
commenced work and is main
tanning force of 10 men, Be-
fore the work outlined shall
have been completed, the case
will again be in the courts. and
the government will be prepared
to fight the case on its merits.
There is a phase of the present
difficulty that has a direct bear
ing upon the future of the Car
son project, for shOEld the Ia
hoe property owners met with
success in the lower courts, IT
would seriously affect the dellv'
cry of water to the $4,000 acres
