A Salty Charge.

The latest feature OF the many
sided controversy Is a letter from
Deputy Sheriff William Lydon ask
ing for an investigation as to money
alleged to have been collected as
back taxes by the county clerk. He
asks that either the State Inspector
be requested to make an investiga-
ton of the books, or Judge Light
foot call fiscal court to make the in
yestigation.
Mr.. Lydon makes his request as a
tax payer, and his letter to Judge
Lightfoot is as follows:
Mr.. Lydon's Letter.
Paducah, KY, Mar. 3, 1905.
Hon. r. T. Lightfoot,
Judge McCracken County.
Dear SIR
For several days the State Inspect
or, Hon. II. b. Hines, has been in Pa
ducah, checking up the accounts OF
the county court clerk as to revenue
which-the clerk has collected by vir-
tue of his Office for the state of Ken
lucky.
know that the county clerk had
collected money for the state which
he had not paid over at the time Mr.
Hines came here to check him up, but
was behind with the state over 3d.
500. | have reason to believe that
the clerk has settled the amount OF
the shortage and paid it since the
state inspector came here to check
up his accounts.
The state inspector has not made
any data as to the amount of revenue
collected by Mr.. Graham as county
court clerk for McCracken county
or what he has done with it, but
have examined the books of the
treasurer of McCracken county and
find that Mr.. Graham as county
court clerk has only paid to the treas
urer the following amounts on the
following dates to wit:

Our business people are beginning

say they have not looked brighter in

they do at the present time. There is
an optimism in the air that bodies we'll

Has Plenty of Gall.

The managers OF the Golden Gate
Press Clippings Bureau will never die
for want OF gall. They have some
sort oil a scheme by which they hope
to attract other peoples money to
their pockets by giving away prizes
for the best short story pertaining to
Western life. The gally part of the
proposition is that they request the
Independent to publish a lengthy ad.
for their benefit for nothing. Neither
the gall of the proposition nor the ad-
"My Dear Friend" at the head oil
their letter has any effect on the stony
heart of the proprietor of this paper.
Their gall is monumental and their
business sense is nil. They are well
come to this letter.-Elko Independ-
ent.
The NEvADAN received the same
kind of a letter aud after reading
and studying it over for one whole
day, we could not figure out any way
by which we would be compensated
for u trouble, so we quietly laid it
away in the waste basket.

Drawing to a Close.

But two months more remain of q
very remarkable year. When it dies
it will leave on the pages Of history
many important events for the people
to profit by if they will. Nevada has
squared herself for great advancement
in the line Of mining and agricultural
pursuits. The building o, the West
ern Pacific is destined to be no small
factor in Neyada's advancement to-
wards the summit of progression.
That the coming new year will bring
the people of Nevada many good
things cannot be doubted, hut it will
not be all sugar, for some bitter will
naturally have to be mixed in to teach
us to better appreciate the sweets oil
life.

DAILY WEATHER STORY
Three FOurths Of an Inch Of Rain
Was the Record Yesterday.

The rain of Sunday night amounted
to "a of an inch. 1t began at $3.50, in
creased to a heavy downpour at 1905,
continuing to HAS, when it slackened
up materially. but remained stormy
until GAS yesterday morning. The
precipitation at midnight was So, and
between midnight and morning it was
.19. a total of IA The total rainfall
for the month now is 2.O4. an excess
of 1.S4 The total since January is
5.35, an excess above normal of 4-35.
There was a very short but heavy
rainfall last evening just before dark,
and after the records made above were
secured. This rain was accompanied
by little hail. The atmospheric pres
sure here was very low yesterday, be-
ing 29.62 at p. m.
Telegraph service was bad early in
the day, and it was p. m. before the
weather bureau got all of its morn
ing reports When they did arrive
they indicated that the storm center
is still off the coast of Southern Cali

readings: Flagstaff. %: 56; Phoenix,

Ter is not yet inland and there is no
appreciate change in conditions. so
the forecast is practically unchanged;
rain Monday night and Tuesday, with
lower temperatures.
The wind was from the east and
southeast all day yesterday, and the
velocity was from four to eight miles.
It was also cloudy nearly all day, the
sun shining a little between noon and

tains both north and east. The gen.

very much as it has been for a week,

RAILROAD CONDITIONS
Prospects for Connecting With the
Outside World.

The disaster to the NJ. & P. railroad
company Line was accentuated yes
terday afternoon by the washing out
of some ten or fifteen bents of the
bridge over the Gila, which had been
undermined before and over which the
track hung almost like a suspension
bridge. This news did not reach
Phoenix until evening, and previous to
that time all the information that
could be learned concerning conditions
at the bridge was that during Sunday
night the river changed its channel.
and it was hoped by the company's
representatives that a train could be
run today. The completion of the
break in the bridge puts a quietus on
the train question for today, and the
hope of a transfer service, even, is
very meager.
The S. F. P. & P train thataleft Ash
Fork Friday evening arrived here
about o'clock yesterday afternoon,

DIVERSION OF CAVE CREEK
The Legislature Nay Attempt to Take
Some Action.

The diversion of the uncertain wat
ers of Cave creek is just now the most
important problem before many of the
people of this valley. 1t is likely that
a bill making provision for the protec-
ton OF the capitol building viii short
~ be introduced into the legislature.
y move in that direction was started
in the house by Judge Neville, who
the appointment of a legislative COM
mittee to investigate the causes of
Cave creek floods and inquire how they
have got to coming out of their way,
and to devise means to prevent a repe-
tition of the events of last week and
yesterday.
The resolution was turned down in
the council on the ground that the
board of control is already endowed
with authority to look after the inter-
ests of the capitol building. Those who
have been giving the subject attention
say that the best way to permanently
dispose of the flood waters of Cave
creek is to turn them into New river.
That can be done by erecting a strong
dixie from Black mountain to Beecham
place and then cutting a ditch to New
river. 1t is estimated that all this
could be done for about $3.50 This
project was surveyed some years ago
of this kind is done several thousand
acres of land lying north and west of

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Short Session and Nothing Attended
to but Business.

The regular monthly meeting of the
city council was held last night, all
members being present. The proceed
ings were almost entirely routine or
preliminary to other things.
After the approval of the minutes,
the finance committee reported favor
ably on bills, ordering paid from the
general fund S6,543.16, and from the
library fund $16615. The monthly re-
ports of the building inspector and cor
raj keeper were filed as was the quar-
terly report of the city marshal. The

demanding the return OF their forfeit
check of $4,000 the bonds not having
been delivered to them. The letter
was referred to the finance commit
tee.
The council confirmed the officers of
the fire department. named by the
firemen at the recently held annual
election. A quit claim deed for a mar
row strip of land along Bennett lane,
bought for the purpose of widening
that thoroughfare, was presented and
approved by the finance committee.
A resolution was passed extending
to O'Clock p. m, March 1st, the time
in which architects may submit to the
council plans for a Carnegie library
and also naming conditions to which
such plans must comply and under
which they may be submitted.
The matter of planting trees upon,
identifying and turning into a city
park, the narrow strip of ground own
ed by the city along Woodlawn aven-
ue in Neahrs addition, was left to the
committee on buildings and grounds.
The city attorney was instructed to
draft a bill for presentation in the leg
islature, for the changing of the city
charter in some instances. In explain
alton it is said some of the provisions
of the law respecting construction of
buildings within the fire limits exceed
the authority given by the charter
The law is satisfactory and it is de-
sired to make the charter cover it.
The building inspector was instruct
ed to submit to the council, plans for
the construction of a fire engine house
at Five Points, to cost not to exceed
$500. At the present time the city is
paying a monthly rental of ten dollars
for building for that purpose.
