WILL VISIT THE GOVERNOR.
Western Pacific Manager Accepts the
Invitation Extended by the
Executive.

Yesterday most interesting letter
was received by Governor Sparks.
Some time ago he wrote to Geo. J.
Gould, the president of the Western
Pacific asking that the line If possible
be sent this way. The answer is in
the hands of the Governor, and while
Mr.: Gould assures the people that the
Western Pacific will be built and that
side lines will reach out in every direc-
ton, yet there is no promise to come
to Carson. The invitation to visit
the Governor is accepted and in ali
probability the gentleman will make
good his promise. The two letters
are as follows:

THE MEETING.

ProSessor Thurtell land Judge Nor
cross Explains Building Associations.
The meeting of the Business Mems
Association last evening was largely
attended and was enthusiastic The
members were on hand to listen TO
remarks by the home people and IN
particular Prof. Thurtell, who gave
them very clear plan If the REM
Building Association which has been
one Of the means Of advancement for
that prosperous city.
The Professor, who was one of the
active members of the Reno Asso-
citation explained in detail the work Of
the Reno body, whereby over one
hundred ard fifty homes have been
built and occupied. The plans are
strictly mutual land business like.
'They are so arranged that the work
ingman can build home on what ne
generally applies for rent and in q
term of years he becomes the owner
Of the home so constructed.
On Of the striking features Of the
Reno Association is that none Of the
builders had to be foreclosed on the
mortgage, but each man who has
taken out shares and who has butt
owns, or is in way to own the build
ing that he has contracted for.
Mr.. Thurtell was also asked regarl-
ing the possibility of Government ali
in irrigation in this valley. To the
question he stated emphatically that
there would be no such thing as gov
eminent aid in Eagle Valley. That
the people should look forward to
other means for irrigation and make
m arketing come tc Carson which 'e
considered more than possible with a
railroad and cheap rates of travel
His entire talk was not only interest
ing but instructive and will start th5
proposition of a building associator
for this city.
Judge Norcross spoke on the sam,
lines and quoted his own experience
whereby he has built and owns HON,
from the mutual concern that h
took stock in few years ago.
A letter that was received frou
Eastern parties inquiring for inves.
ments was read by Mr.. ]. T. Davl,
as was the answer. They were r;
ferred to the Executive Commit )
for any action that may come eff it.

Capital Punishment and Crime

The United States census bureau re-
Gently presented figures showing that
in twenty years ending with 1904 there
were 1881 homicides in this country
and 2,2S6 executions. Heretofore the
public has been given approximations
to the truth, but approximations are
not authoritative enough to make it
possible to draw lessons from them
that shall have force.
Laws relating to murder are, as a
rule, sufficiently drastic and reasonably
clear. Every effort should be made to
bring about the enforcement Of the
laws by creating a sentiment that de
mands the conviction and punishment
Of murderers. One serious obstacle to
the fair trial of persons charged with
murder is the number of citizens OPP
posed to capital punishment. Often as
high as so per cent of the citizens ex-
amined are disqualified as jurors to sit
upon murder cases on that ground.
In addition to those who are con
scientiously opposed to infictng the
extreme penalty there are many who
actually serve in murder trials who are
prejudiced against the extreme rigor of
the law, and their findings are a com
promise with conscience. Greater dis
erection in the hands of the iurv. Wheth-
er to adjudge the death penalty or i'm
prisonment for life in any case of first
degree murder, would doubtless be a
benefit to society. Convictions would
be more speedy, fewer homicides would
go unpublished and fewer murders
would be committed.

The Newspaper Annual, Just issued,
shows that there exist in this country
no less than 22,312 periodicals, or ap-

hand, where there are more periodicals
In comparison with the population than
in any other European state, there is
one periodical for every 1900 inhab-
itants, while in the United Kingdom
there is, roughly speaking, one to each
5000. The United States, with a pop
ulation of 100000, has absolutely
more periodicals than the whole of Eu-
