RENO, New, April 9,-Now that D,

as the secretary of the Nevada Com
mercial league, has been appointed as
secretary of the Nevada Publicity COM
mission by Chairman Sam Davis. the
league, which bitterly opposed Davis g

come out with remarkable statement
which is causing no end of talk.
The league states that though the
primary object of its organization was
the reduction of rates in this State and
q better control over the roads that

Nevada Man Meets With a Peculiar
Accident.

ELY, New, April 9.-After washing
his shirt in gasoline, Albert o. Nichols,
an engineer in the employ of the Ely
Consolidated, thinking the shirt had be
come thoroughly dry, went near stove
In which there was raging fire,
On account Of the conclusive quail
ties of the gasoline, the shirt which
Nichols had put on soon became mass
of flames, and before the fro could
be extinguished the unfortunate man g
chest and back had been burned, and
his hands were frightfully scorched
by the blaze.
AS soon as Manager CLAUS Jeldness
learned of the accident he made az
rangements to bring Nichols to Ely,
where he could receive the proper med
ical attention, He was taken to the
county hospital Sunday, and is now
under the care of DR. Wallace.
Misfortunes never come singly, and
Nichols can testify TO the truth of
that old proverb. AT the hospital on
Tuesday he accidentally dropped glass
of hot water on his foot, burning it
quite badly.

TGN0PAH LASS BEARS
UNIQUE DISTINCTION
Commissioned by Government,
She Has Proven Capable
and Efficient.

TONOPAH, New. April "a young
lady who bears the unique distinction
of being the only deputy United States
surveyor of mineral lands in the coun-
try is Miss May Bradford of Tonopah,
New. Miss Bradford is native of Cal
ifornia, and took her degree in civil
engineering at Leland Stanford univer-
sity, being among the brightest stu
dents in her class.
When sho applied for position as
government surveyor the local chief
was dumfounded, as no woman had ever
before been candidate for such a
place. So the matter was referred to
Washington, and as it was shown that
the young woman was fully competent
and able TO give the 900 bonds, size
got her commission and has proved as
capable and efficient as any man in the
same line of work, besides making a
handsome income out of her fees.
Miss Bradford some eight months ago
went to Paris to pursue a course of
study, and she is just now returning to
her home IN Nevada.
