HAS IMPORTANT BULLETINS.
Reeves of Publicity Com
mittee Receives Documents.

Chairman Charles r. Reeves of the
publicity committee of the National
Irrigation Congress for the states of
Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming
has received number of copies of
the first four bulletins issued by the

County canal, in Sacramento valley,
California; the San Luis valley, Colo
rado, and the Modesto and Turlock
Irrigation districts in San Joaquin
valley, California.
A Guide to Irrigation Practice on
the Pacific Coast is also included.
The bulletins are of great value to
students of irrigation.
Chairman Reeves is now preparing
a notice to be sent to the various
members of the publicity committee
in the four states under his jurisdic-
ton, asking them to begin cam
paign of publication in their local
papers of special articles on irriga-
tion and kindred topics. The men,
bers of the Nevada state committee
are Frank Williams, Good Springs;
w. l.. Cox, Reno; E. B. Mcbride,
Reno; John Nichols, Carson, and
Gordon H. Place, of the White Pine
News, Ely.
A special article which will be of
much interest is being prepared by
a representative of Chairman Reeves,
covering the work on the Truckee-
Carson project in the western part
|of Nevada.

BANK ACCOUNTS
SURPRISE MERCHANTS
OCCASION TO DO BUSINE,.; WITH
CHECKS UNCOVERS MUCH
THRIFT IN THE DISTRICT.

Yesterday was an ideal fall day
and brought many people on the
streets. The number of women who
came out was particularly notable.
They were visitors at the stores and
decidedly enlivened trade. The day
was pronounced by several CONNER
cial houses to have been the best
for trade that they had had in some
time.
But for the fact that there was
shortage of cash in transactions, tills
would have been overlooking last
night. Most of the business done was
on accounts A good many checks
came out to cover the exact amount
of purchases. In very few instances
was change asked. Checks were
without exception so far as learned,
accepted, display of bank books usu-
ally accompanying presentation. One
business man said last night that the
situation was bringing out knowledge
of far more extensive savings on the
part of the people than had been
generally supposed. Many of those
who presented bank books for inspec-
tion yesterday when they offered
checks were not believed previously
by the store keepers to have savings
put away in that manner. Thrift.
ness among the people of the district
is being shown to be very decided, a
condition of affairs that ie certainly
very satisfactory and highly encour-
aging in it's promise for the future
both as to the u1buildng of the dis
trict and the general prosperity of its
residents.

HIM TO
THE FAR NORTH
ALLEGED VICTIMS OF MACLACH-
Ian TAKE OCCASION TO Alb
VANCE INFORMATION.

+. Maclachlan, bookkeeper who
left the city the first of the week
owing $51 80 of borrowed money to
the Graham Mercantile company, ii
was learned yesterday was EN- route
to Alaska to enter the employ of the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany as an auditor under Fl. J. Doug
las.
Maclachlan will probably find cor
correspondence requiring explanation
at the other end of the line when he
arrives to enter upon his new duties.
While he squared the amount of his
Indebtedness to the Graham COM
pany under threat of arrest at BeWs
unless he did so, he failed, it is al
legged, to treat several others in the
city from whom he had secured
money as considerably.
The amount of the Indebtedness he
left behind is said to be consid9ra BILE.
Several of those who are short in
cash on his account are reported to
have written to Alaska. advising
those with whom he will be assG-
ciated of the facts as they obtain
here. These are alleged to deal with
checks given without funds in bank
to meet them and with loans made
IT other times of stress. Maclachlan
during the early part of his residence
in the dis-cict made a good many
friends who freely advanced him
money when he came to them. His
shortcomings in the end are charged
to inability to pass gambling games
without paying tribute to the Goddess
of Chance.

Expect to Complete Con-
StructiOn OF 80 Mile
Road Before Winter.
BIG ROTARY SNOW PLOUGH
Purchased at Cost Of $22, 600 Will
Keep Line Open..-Eariy Ship
ments Over Road to Sock Pile.

Expectation of the Nevada North
ern management is that they will
have the ore line completed before
winter weather arrives to interfere
with construction work To tnat end
they are crowding on all the men and
machinery that can be worked to ad
vantage. The dirt is being made to
fly. The big steam shovels are hard
at it, the graders and track layers
doing business and everything NOV
ing.
Before winter gets here IA big ro-
tary snow plow of the latest pattern
is due to arrive. Order for this
equipment was placed with rush
request attached and the pillow may
now be in transit. 1t costs $4,000
and will without doubt be equal to
handling the work which there will
be for it, Some of this is likely To
be heavy, as on the mine end of the
line deep cuts have been necessary
at number of points. Into these 1t
is expected much snbw will drift dur
ing the winter. Without a pillow to
remove it and keep the tracks clear
there would be great deal of delay
in handling the ten to twenty ore
trains which will have to operate
daily. With the plow in commission
1t is not anticipated that there will
be difficulty in keeping the road open
at all times, no matter how much
snow comes along.
When the ore line is completed it
will have trackage of about thirty
miles Much of this has been very
expensive to build. Some of 1t has
cost as high as 100000 per mile.
The work that has been done, how
ever, is excellent in every respect and
the high cost will be more than made
back In time in savings in cost of
maintenance and in freedom from
necessity for changing the original
grade and surveys. 1t is where 1t can
operate to the best advantage to be-
gin with, a fact that is important as
monef' saver, looking to the future.
The desire to accomplish completion
of building work before winter comes
Is due principally to the fact that Ii
work in cold weather, while ground
is much harder to handle in the win
ter season. The handling of materi-
ais to all of the mines and of car
rying out ore for the concentration as
soon as the first unit is completed
also comes in for consideration. The
concentrator is expected to be ready
for ore in January. Very nkely
reserve stock pile at the reduction
plant will be started in advance of
that time, probably Immediately npcn
completion of the ore line.

WANTS ELASTIC CURRENCY.
Senator Elkins Says New Bill Will BE
Drawn to Create 1t.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Senator
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia,
who is in Washington, says a new
currency bill will be introduced at the
next session of congress to cure the
evils from which the financial world
is suffering.
1--WE need more and more elastic
currency" said Mr.. Elkins. 1.-The
whole trouble is that the business
of the country has increased faster
than the supply of money. You might
say that business has increased 80
per cent and money per cent. That
leaves gap of 25 per cent to be
filed by creditor confidence, which
Is credit-and now that confidence
has been shaken to a certain extent,
the gap is open."

.P[UCKY GIRLS
THWART BURGLAR
HELD WINDOW DOWN, SCREAM
ED FOR HELP - OFFICERS
WANT NOTICE PROMPTLY.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
to enter the Neil Munro residence at
an early hour yesterday morning by
an unknown man. The attempt was
thwarted by Miss Munro and girl
friend who heard the burglar pry-
ing at the window of their room.
Both the young women screamed,
but the burglar continued efforts to
force the window. The young women
then ran to it and prevented the
would-be thief from opening it. Fin
ally frightened by their cries for
help, he ran away. AS in the recent
attempt to enter the Oldfield hotel,
no description was secured of the
burglar on account of darkness.
This case was not reported to the
peace officers. They insist that such
cases be reported to them in order
that they may have an opportunity to
apprehend the offenders. They say
that it is unfair to them to not report
such effenses as quickly as possible.

ROOSEVELT DE-
CL|NES SENATE
WOULD BE CALLED UPON IN THE
LINE OF DUTY TO CRITICISE
OTHER PRESIDENTS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Accord-
ing to friends of President Roosevelt
who have knowledge of his determin-
alton not to be candidate for the
United States senate, to succeed
Thomas c. Platt, or Chauncey M. De-
pew, that determination was reached
only after Mr.. Roosevelt had given
much consideration to the matter.
Those who have known something OF
what has been in President Roose-
velt's mind concerning his future,
are certain he felt a keen disappoint-
ment when he finally reached the con-
clusion that for reasons of propriety
it was necessary for him to abandon
his ambition to become a senator
from New York state. The president,
it is understood, has left no doubt
among those with whom he has dis
cussed the matter that his decision
applies not merely to the vacancies
which will be created by the retire
ment of Senators Platt and Depew,
but to every subsequent vacancy in
the senate from New York for the
term of Mr.. Roosevelt's life.
There is no room for misaDpre-
hension as to the comprehensiveness
of this important determination of
the president M. Roosevelt has not
indicated that there would he any
exception to the rule he has laid
down. While il is understood that
he has said that he would like to lie
member of the senate 4 Mr.. Tar
should be elected to the presidency
in order that he could support Mr..
Tafts policies. he added in u1equivo-
cal terms that his decision not 10

HEAVY BUYING
FOR INVESTMENT
GREATEST IN YEARS--NEW YORK
NEARLY NORMAL-MTLLIO
PUT IN GOING CONCERNS.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sit can be
said that the financial situation today
was nearly normal. 1t was stated
by bankers that the calls for money
from the neighborhood of New York
and the entire east appeared to be
practically satisfied, as such calls for
currency of an urgent character as
were being received came from points
west of the Mississippi. These calls
are being met as fast as conditions
permit Mr.. Williams, the new state
superintendent of banking, gathered
up most of the cash in the suspended
banks today and deposited it with go
ing institutions, thereby adding sew
eral million dollars to the funds avail
able in the market. The debit bal
ances against banks at the clearing
house were smaller than usual and
of normal conditions, all such bal
ances aggregating only little more
than $9,000,000 on clearings of
1886, 100000.
One of the most interesting devel-
opments of the situation is large pur-
chases of securities in small lots for
Investment. MOSt vi lHe ldTSe pr
vate banking houses which sell stocks
and bonds have been keening their
clerical forces at work full time ex-
ecuting such orders ard attending TO
the transfer of titles. It is estimated
by good judges that there are 400,-
900 more new stockholders on the
books of the railway and industrial
corporations than was the case a wear
ago. One brokerage firm declares
that there has not been movement
of this kind of such volume for twen-
tY wears.

THANKSGIVING DAY
PROCLAMATION
PRESIDENT DECLARES WE HAVE
MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR
SAYS JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL

WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has issued his Thanks
giving proclamation, through the
Secretary of State, naming the last
Thursday in Mo- ember, the 2Sth.
The Thanksgiving proclamation fol
lows:
Once again the season of the year
has come when, in accordance with
the custom of our forefathers for
generations past, the president ap-
points a day as special occasion
for all our people to give praise and
Thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence,
from war; we are at peace with all
the rest of mankind. Our natural
resources are at least as great as
those of any other nation. We believe
that in ability to develop and take
advantage of these resources, the
average man of this nation stands as
high as the average man of any other.
Nowhere else in the world is there
such an opportunity for free
people to develop to the fullest ex-
tent all its powers of body. of mind.
and of that which stands above both
body and mind-character.
Much Given to Us.
Much has been given to us from
on High, and much will be rightly be
expected of us in return. Into our
care the ten talents have been en-
trusted, and we are to be pardoned
neither If we squander and waste
them, nor yet if we hide them in a
napkin, for they must be fruitful in
our hands. Ever throughout the
ages. at all times and among all
peoples, prosperity has been fraught
with danger. and it behooves us to
beseech the Giver of All Things that
we may not fall into love of ease and
luxury; that We may not lose our
sense of moral responsibility; that we
may not forget our duty to God and
to our neighbor.
A great democracy like ours, de-
mocracy based upon the principles OF
orderly liberty, can be perpetuated
ouly if in the heart of the ordinary
citizen there dwells keen sense OF
righteousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit OF
righteousness and justice may grow
ever greater in the hearts of all OF
us, and that our souls may be inclined
! evermore both toward the virtues
that tell for gentleness and tender
ness, for loving kindness and for.
bearance one with another, and
toward those no less necessary virtues
that make for manliness and rugged
hardihood-for without these quail
tiles, neither nation nor individual
can rise to the level of greatness.
! Now, therefore. |, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States
do set apart Thursday, the 2Sth day
of November, as a day for general
thank sgiving and prayer, and on that
day | recommend that the people
shall cease from their daily work and
in their homes or in their churches
meet devoutly to thank the AL
mighty for the many and great
blessings they have received in the
| past and to pray that they may be
given the strength for to SO order
their lives as to deserve a continua.

SAYS KANSAS Is FOR TAFT.
Senator Long Takes Exception to
Third Term Talk of Gov. Iioch.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-There
was more third term talk at the
White House this morning. but il WIS
not altogether favorable to the re-
nomination of President Roosevelt.
Senator Long of Kansas, who called
on the President before the meeting
of the cabinet. takes issue with Gov
ernor Hoch of that state, who said
yesterday that the partisans of Mr..
Roosevelt would ride over the ma
tional convention like herd of Texas
steers.
Mr.. Long does not agree with the
governor that Kansas will send
Roosevelt delegation to the 1908 con-
vention. "Kansas is for Taft" he
said. at will send a sond Taft del
egation to the convention, instructed
for him. Three years ago President
Roosevelt said he would not accent
another nomination, and we have
taken that as final.

RELIEF FOR THE BANKS
MAY BE CLOSE AT HAND

. j. r. Whalen, business man
. of Salt Lake City, who arrived
. here last night regarding mining
interests, gave statement to The
. News that he had information
. on reliable authority that the
. banks of Salt Lake received no.
tice late Wednesday night in
. messages from New York that
. they might expect early relief in
. funds. This information came
. following a meeting of bankers
with Secretary Cortelyou in
. Washington on Wednesday aft
. ernoon, at which relief for the
. banks west of the Mississippi
. through government deposits
. was considered and urged. From
. the word received in Salt Lake
. City it is taken that the relief
. asked was agreed TO, at least in
. partial manner.
. Relief of the Salt Lake banks
. means relief of the Nevada sit
. uation, which while carrying no
. menace makes for much incon-
. venience. In this city the lack
. of the usual abundance of cash
. for the transaction of business
. has not as yet made for any real
. difficulty. The business inter
. ests are standing firmly In aid
. of the situation. A notable in
. stance of this was afforded yes
. terday, when Manager Arm
0 strong of the Ely Townsite COM
. pany announced that the com
. pany would accept accounts and
. certificates of deposits with the
. Bank of Ely and the First Ma
. tional bank, dollar for dollar,
. for rents and payments on prop
. critics in Ely City. Such evil
, dences of confidence in the abso-
. lutte solvency of the banks tell
. their own story.
