Has Strenuous Trip.

Capcain Charlie Me Daniel accompa. nied by Mir. and Mrs. Mattice, of Mad. ison, and MT. Otis Stevens. of this city, had the trip of their lives last week in MT. Mattice's gasoline launch Saidoo. They left Memphis at noon Monday, in company with the launch Stuff, in charge of MT. Geo. Spore reaching Peters Landing that night, and spending the night there.
 MT. Stevens Jeff the party at Helena having an engagement that night in Hlarianna
 MT. Mcdaniel furnishes the ac- count Of the rest of the trip:
 Made good time Tuesday, with ex- ception of running on sand bar until about o'clock, when batteries gave out; fioated seven miles to mouth of St. Francis, where they tied up for the night.
 Wednesday: Left for Helena, still iloal ing, bat met boat and got set of batteries, and troubles were over for while. Left Helena at 3 D. m., had trouble five miles above with timer on engine, and tied up and spent the night on Island 60.
 Thursday: Made good time from Island 60, until reaching Jefferson vile, when batteries and oil gave out. We're able to get batteries, but only one gallon of gasoline, which enabled them to reach Double Bar Bend, where they spent the night.
 Friday. Had trouble in starting on account of cold engine, but managed to get away about II o'clock, running good, bat haunted by fears of not being able to get a supply of the fluid that helped to make John D. famous. Met boat and got some gasoline. About this time, and about six miles below Raggio met launch Nanny F., with rescue party consisting of MT. Price Mcdaniel, of this city, and MT. Reeder, of Madison, who were on a search for the party. Spent the night at the Cut off.
 Saturday; Started fine, and was making good time, when the Skidoo hit a log and broke her propeller, and was put out of commission. Borrowed another boat, and got within three miles of Madison, when the oil ran out in the borrowed boat, and there was none in the fleet, except little in the rescue boats tank. This boat was sent to Madison for more gaso- line, and the whole fleet finally reach ed a Saf haven in the homo nort q f Madison, with the assistance of MT. Posey, in the Wheeler boat.
 Charley Nc. says the trip demon strates one fact, i. e. that gasoline boats won't run without that fluid, and he is contemplating constructing tank boat for the next voyage.
 The party reached home none the worse for their trip, and all hope to have better luck next time. The Skidoo will be an acquisition to the gasoline fleet at Madison, and is the property of MT. Mattice of the box factory there.

its skepticism Of The wisdom 81 assistant

because the appointing board are county
judges, but because they are not men
with knowledge Of local affairs. II might
be possible for one man or small
coterie Of men to influence the appoint
ments, which would be manifestly unfair
and unjust. III this connection, let Us
quote an unsolicited and direct statement
from the Rutland Herald Of Tuesday,
as follows; "Platt (refening to +. s.

sioners but, briefly stated, it il the POI
sition Of the contemporary that the local
option principle Is not involved in the
appointment Of license commissioners
but that that term refers solely to the
decision whether or not towns shall Ii
cense the sale Of liquor; furthermore,
that the possibility for corruption in
the matter Of local appointments out
weighs what may be lost through ignor.
ance Of local conditions on the part
Of the appointing power and the oppor
tunity for jockeying.
AS to the first premise, it is true
that the law states in 20 many words
that the towns shall vote on the question
whether on not liquor shall be dispensed,
but that Is only the first step in the
proesedings. There remains the intricate
administration Of the law, and this work
is imposed largely, almost wholly, on
officials within tho small circle Of the
township or city. We do not have coun.
~ commissioners; we have town com.
missionerH. They have charge Of the
giving out Of the licenses; they hear
ccmplaintss they revoke licenses; iii
short, the town or city commissioners
have practically complete control Again,
the prosecution for breaking the law
does not wholly devolye, az The Mes.
senger says, on state or county officials
The states attorneys for the counties
do participate in the engagement to
certain extent but experience shows that
il is physical impossibility for states
attorneys to do all the work. 1t there
fore dovolves upon local authorities to
see That the machinery Of the law Ii
set in motion against offenders. The
grand juror Of Barre, for instance, has
this year been largely responsible for

MORE SLOT MACHINES FOR RENO
City Council Planning Further
Inducements for Increasing
University Attendance

Reno, Nevada, June 2s.-City Attor.
ney King made quite a stir in city
government circles yesterday when he
stated that the present license ordi-
nance now being prepared by Coun-
ell Committee was only blind. and
that its real purpose is to lower the
licenses on slot machines in this city.
He claims that the licenses on business
houses and ON trades in the city would
not be changed materially, but that the
license on slot machines would be re-
duced from 500 per quarter to $40 per
quarter for single slot machines and $50
per quarter for double machines. A
few months before the old Council
went out of Office the license on slot
machines was raised from $50 per
quarter to 500 per quarter. Many
machines were forced to close on ac-
count of the high license and at the
present time there are not dozen op-
Grating in the city. With the license
reduced there will be as many in oper.
alton as there were before the license
was raised by the old Council.

SHEEP COMMISSIONER RESIGNS
Suit Against the State Commission
Causes Humphrey to Retire

Reno. Nevada. June 81 H. G. Hmm.
phrey. one of the members Il the Board
oil Sheep Commissioners of this State.
has handed in his resignation to Gov.
ernor john Sparks and it is stated that
John q. Taylor, one of the wealthiest
sheep owners in the eastern part OF the
state. will be appointed to succeed him.
MIR. Humphrey states that he is resign.
ing in order to comply with the law.
which provides that two commissioners
shall not be appointed from the same
county. At the present time Humphrey
aud Olin NJ. Ward are both from
Washoe County. and if they both con.
tinue to hold their offices the Commis.
sion will not be legal body.
A few days ago Attorney Curler of
Reno began suit against George Watt,
a deputy of the Commission. aud also
against the Commission for $l0O, 900
damages as a result of Watt refusing to
allow band Of 40. 900 sheep to be dipped.
Cnrler also attacked the legality of the
appointments made by the Governor on
the ground that Humphrey and Ward
are both from the same county, which
is against the law providing for Sheep
Commission.
