COLONEL W. A. HARRIS FOR GOVERNOR OF
KANSAS.

In prevailing on Mr.. William A. Har
ris to accept the nomination for Gov.
ernor, the Democrats of Kansas made
the most powerful appeal to the voters
of that state and to sound sentiment
ganerally. They played their strong
est card, and haying formulated their
platform with reference to their candi-
date and to the public demand for law
enforcement and rightlI government
they stand to win.
In yielding to the overwhelming per-
suasions of his party Mr.. Harris has
acted the part of patriot. He cannot
serve as Governor of Kansas without
making material sacrifices. His pref :.
erence for private life has been thor
oughly we'll understood. His ambition
to make competence In business also
has been we'll known. A man of MI
Harris's present connections and pros
poets cannot accept governorship'
without pecuniary loss.
On the other hand, Kansas has hon.
ored Mr.. Harris with the greatest polit.
ical gift in it's possession-a seat in
the United States Senate. While it is
true that Mr.. Harris reflected as much
distinction on his state as the state be-
slowed upon him, through his eminent
services as Senator. the fact remains
that he is under lasting obligations to
Kansas And besides it Is great Of
flee that he is now nominated to fill.
Kansas is one of the foremost states in
the Union. 1t needs and gives scope
to strong leadership. 1t is fine thing
to secure nomination for Governor in
such astate, even by seeking it; but it
is much greater honor to have such a
nomination persistently urged, in the
face of the strongest personal dislncli-
nation.
Mr.. Harris is better qualified by eX-
perience and native capacity for the of
flee of Governor than any other man in
the state. He is tremendously popular
among the people in general. And Kan.
sas is just cratic enough politically to
put man like that into Office regard
less CT its lastrecord at the polls.-Kan
sas City Star.

CONCRETE TANK
New Experiment To Be Tried In
Carson Valley

Jim Logan, the stone mason. who
has been employed at the new town
OF M,nden, came down yesterday. He
reports things pretty quiet at the new
town pending the time when the
railroad arrives at the new terminal.
Jim, has tried a new scheme in con-
crete work. At lie Springmeyer farm
one OF the largest holdings in the
valley, he has lately constructed a
concrete water tank. Originally a
wooden tank was mounted on the
tower. This leaked and an iron tank
was placed inside of it. This in time
rusted through and Jim conceived the
idea Of filling the space with concrete
There was a six inch space between
the two walls and this was filled with
concrete while a new bottom was laid
OF the same material The inner lin
ing of iron was then taken out leav-
ing concrete tank. water has been
turned into the new tank and it holds
without leak. The effect of weather
and cold will be watched carefully
and should this new idea result as is
anticipated there Will be a number Of
ley.

The amount of cable required for

HEATING THE CAPITOL
The Board Locate the New Plant in
the Library Building

tne Library ou!loin0
Yesterday the Board of Capitol Com
missiOners met to take final action on
the location of the heating plant for
the Capitol building and new Library
The letting of the contract was held
over until the Library building was
located and under way that the heat
ing of the two buildings might be con-
sidered to the best advantage.
At the request of the Board, Archie
tect Curtis, made report of the
proper location of the heating plant.
as follows:
To The Honorable The Board of Capt.
tol Commissioners, Carson City Ne
vada
Gentlemen:-In regard to heating
the State Capitol Building, would
state the conditions as l find them,
as follows:
The basement of the Capitol build
ing. although large in area. is cut up
into small compartment with thick
and heavy stone walls, scarcely feet
N height. poorly lighted, with no out
side doors, small and high windows.
To properly set in this basement
modern heating plan of steam or
vapOr you will have to excavate pit
OF ample depth and width for the
boiler, so the condensed water can
return to boiler by gravity and be i'm
mediately pumped into the boiler.
We find that in the entire build
ing there is not fue or chimney
larger than s inches by IA inches,
which IS entirely too small for
heating plant, and these small fiues
being carried up in stone partitions
1t is impossible to enlarge them; there
fore new f1ue of brick must be
made, not less in size than IA inches
by "a inches in the clear This fiue
must start from the basement and
extend up and through the roof to at
least feet above the ridge OF fsr)f
for draft; the walls of this flue to
be not less than Is inches thick, up
to and through the seemed floor, and
inches to the top, properly topped out
ad vented.
This flue or smokestack, including
foundation. concrete floor for boiler
repairing rooms through which flue
passes. properly flashing at roof line
will cost at least eighteen hundred
dollars, ($fSOO).
II this work is properly installed
it VIII give, without doubt, good salts
faction and would be entirely satisfact
Dry; it would be nearly impossible TO
heat the Library from this point, Tor
practically sol, the Library being
much lower; as We cannot run steam
iown-hill without trapping the pipes
with water
On the other hand, the plant could
be set in the basement Of the Library
he flue of ample size can be con-
Btructed, and all finish of any extra
lind. needed or required for this
Pxtra work, including the concrete
foundation for the boiler, for the sum
bf two hundred and fifty dollars,
$500.
The steam pipes Of ample size. from
his boiler, can be carried into the
Easement Of the Capitol building. for
he sum of one hundred and fifty
Ollars. ($l5W.
would advise, as your Architect,
pr both buildings, that the heating
ant be installed in the basement
the Library building, but your
honorable Board must certainly make
bur own choice. -.-4. al, ..
