This plan Of management does not

that the rumor change is the result

Registry Books Open.

In accordance with the new law,
passed at the last session of the Ne
vada Legislature, the books for the
registration CT voters open much earl
Ter this year than formerly. The law
provides that the books shall be open
"from and after the frat day of June"
and upon all legal days between the
hours Of ten .. m. and 6 p. m.
Justice OF the Peace Limbaugh has
received the new books from the
County Clerk for this precinct and
the .ame was opened last Saturday in
accordance with the new law.
Under the exactions of the new law
there are come new questions that
must be asked OF each and every resi-
dent who applies for registration. The
mere fact that these questions must
be asked and answered, precludes the
custom, heretofore INDUCED in gener-
ally by registry agents of transferring
the names upon the new register from
one in use ut the preceding election.
Hence all citizens desiring to be regis
tered must apply in person to the
registry agent at HE Office, or their
names will not appear on the official
register and they will not be allowed
to vote.
1t behooves all citizens desiring to
vote to call upon the registry agent
and have their name placed upon the
register. DO not put the matter off;
you might overlook it entirely; and
the books close much earlier this year
than usual, in accordance with the
late law.

"Neyer in the history of railroading
in the West has there been such ac-
tivity as at present with several trans
continental links in course of con-
struction and many more talked Of"
SAID . Nevada mining man at the
Cullen to the Tribune. "But IN all
the construction the State of Nevada
takes the lead, and with her wonder
ful mineral development has followed
such a resumption of railroad build
ing that the money expended for the
latter is proving OF almost equal BEN
eft as the mineral being taken from
a hundred mines.
MIR. Hartman Not Idle.
"Mr. Hartman, who does not like TO
see the traffic slipping away from him
Is not idle while others are building
into the Eldorado. The Southern Pa
ciic is rapidly constructing a line
from Hazen to Fairview and Manhat-
tan and from Toano, the Nevada
Northern, backed by the Southern
Pacific and the smelter people, is
pushing to Ely, the coming camp.
Then the Nevada Central and the
Eureka & Palissde, two branches
owned by other parties, are each look
ing to the mineral belt, and it is
rumored, may yet fall into the hands
OF Hartman or Gould, who could see
them.
Linss In the South.
"But on the south the lines are not
idle. The Tonopab road, changed to
the Tonopsh & Goldfeld, holds the
financial record of having earned its
cost of construction within a few
months alter its completion. It first
ended at Tonopah, but later at Gold
field. and is o pushing on towards
Bullfrog and hat region of which
Bullfrog is the center.
Clark Reaching out.
SENATOR Clark has 100 miles OF
grade finished on his Las Vegas &
Tonopah and rs miles in operation.
Already hundreds are going in via
this route. Borax Smith, on the
other hand, is backed by the Santa
Fe and will have his road finished al
SO to Tonopah via Death Valley borax
deposits.
"The railroad financier Of the past
was want to say that railroads select
ed agricultural lands oyer which to
lay their new rails, but in the case OF
Nevada it is different. They are not
waiting for the farmer, but are going
after the ore, and they feel pretty sure
that the men who dig the ore will
need the produce of the farmer, so
they will get a haul both ways.
VIII Build to Tonopah.
"Both the Las Vegas Il Tonopah
and the Tonopah 4 Tidewater will
build to Tonopah, which will mean
that the three great lines of Nevada,
Southern Pacific, Santa Fe aud Salt
Lake route, will have q strong foot
hold in that region.
One Important Question.
1.-THE question now arises. What
will Gould do3 He has his line sur
veyed west from Salt Lake and rumor
has it that he will work south from q
point some rs miles from here, with
the evident intention of reaching
Tonopah by traversing the heart OF
the mineral belt, main line or
branches to Ely, Cherry Greek, Deep
Belmont, Eureka, Bullfrog,
Goldfeld and Tonopah.

Long caravans OF heavy draws passed
over the roads, each driven by a man who
rode upon the left hand animal, originally

having dismounted on the left side. he

BRIDGE or MANY COLLISIONS.
Confusion That Arises # rom Observance Of
the Rules of the Road.

"On a bridge in the city of Victoria, B. G.,
there are more collisions every day than
upon any other bridge in the world, " an
nounced an elderly gentleman in a group
discussing the rules of the road, says the
Spokane Spokesmdn-ReuieD.
Il mean head on collisions between
vehicles and face to face collisions be-
tween pedestrians. and the reason for
them all is that the bridge is the spot where
the American rule of road clashes with the
English rule of road. We always keep to
the right and the Canadians there keep
to the left, and the result is n continual
mixup.
Did you ever stop to consider how
strange 1t Ia in a custom OF this kind, which
8 80 important and 80 often used, the
American colonies should have worked
out a rule Numerically opposed to the
mother country? Why is it that in England
people on the road always keep to the left,
while in the United States and most parts
of Canada they always keep to the right?
"The humble and obsolete OK is respon-
sible for all those collisions up in Victoria.
In England, way back before they ever
had carriages or vehicles of any kind,
when armored knights on horseback used
to be about the only people that met in
the roads, the custom Of keeping to the left
sprang up, and most reasonable it was,
because in those days the knights were
always looking for trouble and they never
knew who was going to hand them a blow
from a broadsword. So they always took
care to pass other travellers with their
sword arm toward them, simply as a matter
of precautionary defence. This naturally
meant that they should bunch over to
the left edge Of the o and present their
armed right hand to the passerby.
Reasoning in the same way, you can
explain why Americans keep to the right
Because in Colonial days the peril on the
road did not come from the travellers, but
from the savages lying in the ambushes
in the surrounding forests. Therefore. the
New England settler took care to present
his right arm to the source Of possible dan
ger, and consequently rode on the right
side OF the road. His reasons were un-
consciously the same as those Of the knight
OF King Arthur, but by acting upon them
he created an entirely different custom.
But | don't think it was the knight or
the Colonial horseback rider that originated
either Of the national rules Of the road.
1t was the carter and the OK driver. The
carter was the person who made the great
est use Of the English highways and by

RUSHING WATERS
SWEEP COUNTRY
LOSS OF LIFE, DESTRUCTION OF
PRoPERTY-JALIsco AND
coLlMA, MEXICO.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 9.-Recent
floods in the southern part of the State
OF Jalisco and in the State of Colima
have resulted in great destruction of
property and loss of life. The num-
Der of fatalities from drowning along
the line of the Manzanillo extension
of the Mexican Central Railway is
1913.
Thousands of tons Of earth and rocks
descended In great landslides from
the mountains. The new steel railway
bridges below Tuxpan was DESTROYED.
and a steam shovel weighing &c tons
was borne by the torrent for a consid-
cradle distance. In one place the wa.
er rose so feet. Many houses were
destroyed by foods In the towns of
Tuxpan and Zapotillic.
Twenty-Five lives were lost during
the recent floods in the Santiago Riv-
er; fifteen were drowned by the cap
sizing of boat while crossing the
river. They were workmen engaged
on-the canal being constructed for the
power plant. Ali were natives.
1t has been some time since there
were such tremendous floods on the
west coast.
