t. L. ODDIE.

Nye county has a Senator in I. L.
Oddis Of whom 1t may well be proud.
His handling Of the county seat re-
moval bill, in the Senate, has been a
revelation to the people Of the whole

least three or four weeks to get a
bill out Of a committee and placed on
final passage. But there IS nothing
slow about Senator Oddie, as his
wonderful work 10 connection with
this important measure will show
He introduced the bill on Wednesday
last, had the rules suspended (which
requires unanimous %consent and the
bill read a first time. He again had
the rules suspended. the bill read q
second time and referred to the Nye

mediately reported the bin back with
the recommendation that it do pass.

Friday the Committee on Engross
ment reported the bill properly en-
CROSSED and it was placed on final
passage. Upon the roll being called
the till was passed unanimously re
ceiving the fun IL votes Of the Senate.
This is certainly a record for Iegis
lators to aim at for a long time to
come and Senator Oddie has shown
that be is worthy Of higher honors at
the hands Of the people Of Nevada
He has also earned the thanks aud
lasting gratitude Of his grateful con
stitutents in Tonopah

MRS. RANSIER'S LETTER.
Thoughts for a Rainy Day.

We have been talking about sum
DAYS and sunny lives and sunshine,
Int We haven't forgotten for a min
ute that there must be rainy days
too; many must be cloudy; some
stormy. Why! if the days were all
sunny, nothing but sun, we would all
soon wither like the grass and flow
ers and be scorched and die.
So with our lives; just so. Unto
each life some rain must fall" but
whether the day will be "dark and
dreary," depends altogether on the
viewpoint. Even SO.
If the eyes that look out on the
rain are looking through smok-
ed glasses, the day will be very
much more clark and dreary," and
if we are all wrapped up in thoughts
of our own selfish selves, we're going
TO have a dismal outlook on life no
matter what the wealth. It's the
eyes and the heart that your using
that makes the day.
I'm going to tell this in so much
better way by giving you some poems
on the rain. / will not afix the au-
thor's name, for / want you to tell
me who they are by, and also write
me which one you like best. The
same day you read this. anybody
and everybody, write me a postal
card and tell me which you like the
best. / will answer your card, and
we will have a real card party (pos-
tai card).

And again, again, again,
We list to the somber strain
The faint, cold monotone
Whose soul is a mystic moan
OF the rain, the mournful rain,
The soft, despairing rain.
The rain. the mournful rainl
Weary, passionless slow,

The Sobbing of cureless woel
And all the tragic of life,
The pathos of long ago,
Comes back on the sad refrain

III the graves In my heart unclose,
And the dead who are buried there,
From a solemn and a weird repose
Awake, and with eyes that glare
And voices that melt in pain
On the tide of the rlaintive rain,
The yearning, hopeless rain,
The long, low, whispering rainl

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-The strike
has ended on the Moscow & ST. Peters
burg, the Moscow & Kazan and the
Moscow & Archangel railroads.
Celebration of the issuance of the
imperial manifesto still continues at 3
o'clock this morning in many streets
of the city, where crowds are singing
the national hymn, cheering for the
emperor and shouting themselves
hoarse. The restaurants and cafes
were closed at o'clock, disgorging
their crowds, which had been drinking
and making merry for hours around
the tables to augment the demonstra-
ton in the thoroughfares. The Cos
sack patrols were utterly discounted
and COMPOUNDED and were wholly at a
loss to understand the meaning of the
demonstration or why the crowds
were singing God Save the EN-
peror,' Russia's magnificent national
anthem, instead of the "Marseillaise."
The people displayed the utmost
good humor toward the Cossacks.
They surrounded their horses and
their perplexed riders, shouting, you
can go home now. We no longer need
you. We have liberty
The crowds babe the Cossacks to
doff their caps in honor of the con-
stitution. After o'clock the patrols
were withdrawn from the streets,

At Vancouver, Wash, recently, Sims

construction of the Portland & Seat
tie railway Northern Pacific and
Great Northern), between Kennewick,
Wash, and Portland, via Vancouver,
awarded subcontracts to 10 different
bidders for sections of the line from
Cape Horn for most of the distance
to Kennewick, comprising about 19O
of the 23O miles.
1t is ascertaned that the price stlp-
pulated with the general contractors
is, in round numbers, $10,O0O,OOO, al
though Peter Stems refused to con-
firm this, saying it is matter for the
chief engineer to tell. 1t is also learn
ed on good authority that the date
for completion is November 1, 1906
This expenditure is understood to be
aside from the bridges over the Col
umbia and willamette, estimated to
cost more than $2,000,O00, 40 contract
crs having been bidding for portions
of the work, but the slices of the con-
struction fund have so far been par
celed to only a little more than
dozen.
