\. +. BARTINE is SLATED
For Appointment to Judgeship
In the Newly Created
Fifth District

Goldfeld Tribune: Since p. A. Nc.
Carran has announced that he will
decline the appointment OF District
Judge of Nye County 1t has been learn
ed sub rosa that the next man in line
for the office, and virtually slated fer it
bv the Governor. is ex-Congressman
HF. Bartine. His sole strength comes
from the fact that he stands very close
to Senator Newlands. The latter 1t
was who named him two years and a
half since for q candidate ON the Demo-
cratic ticket for Supreme Judge when
he was defeated at the polls by Judge
FH. Norcross. Newlands defended
the nomination from the stump and in
touring the State his labors were most
ly in behalf of Bartine.
Bartine was formerly Republican.
He served in Congress as such aud was
an unsuccessful candidate for re-elec-
ton when Newlands was elected over
HIM as a silver Republican. Some time
after that memorable campaign they
buried the hatchet and have been lying
in the same political bunk ever since.
Their alliance has gone further than
that of mere fellow Democrats or silver
Republicans, as the case in the course
of events may have been.
While little If anything has been
said Of what is Bartine's attitude to-
wards railways and other corporations.
II is OF course well known that New
lands inherited from the Sharon estate
a large block of Southern Pacific stock
and that as a legislator and citizen he
has ever been favorable to that com.
pany.
The forthcoming appointment Of
Bartine is made possible by n sharp
local fight that has been going on for
some time. Ii is between p f. Keeler
With strong Democratic following on
one side. and Fred Dale Wood aud an
equally strong following on the other.
Both were in the Democratic harness
last Summer when Wood bolted the
convention because his candidate for
County COMMISSIONER was turned
down. II either one would withdraw.
the Governor would most likely ap-
point the other. but that seems out OF
the question entirely. Knowing the
likelihood of Bariine's appointment.
McCarran's friends are trying to get
him to reconsider and accept the office.
That is somewhat in the nature Of re-
sentiment for the advent Of Newlands
and BILLY" Sharon as a factor in Nye
County politics. force that has ruled
in Storey County and elsewhere in the
State for many years.

and for that reason the communication
goes into the waste basket. The Inde-

his full measure of praise in its own
way.

Legislative Notes

The bill to abolish the Office OF State
Bullion Tax Collector was beaten in the
Assembly. The bill lacked two votes of
receiving the constitutional majority.
Assemblyman Russell OF Elko County
would do away with the bounty law and
has introduced measure on the ques-
ton. He believes that the number of
obnoxious animals is not so great at the
present time that there should be a
bounty for destroying them.
At the present time if a farm is
mortgaged the value of the farm is the
basis of the tax levy. A measure has
been introduced which provides that
the farm shall be taxed only for its value
less the amount of the mortgage. aud
the man holding it shall pay tax on it,.
Senator Wood bury 8 resolution asking
that terminal point be established on
all transcontinental lines in the State
has been signed by the Governor. What
the result Of the measure will be is not
known. but it is hoped to attract the at
tention of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and cause them to take
some action in the matter.
Senator Coryell has introduced bill
providing that ten per cent Of the
revenue derived from the rent of grazing
lands in the public domain be given to
the schools of the county in which the
lands are located. This measure is one
that will aid the smaller schools to pay
better salari and the standard of
scholarship will consequently be raised.
A Carson correspondent says that new
primary law is a corker and the Senate
is struggling with it. The law is an.
nounced as preventive for boss rule.
and it certainly is. II it passes the
Senate and the Governor signs it..
nothing eau prevent John Sparks from
being the next United States Senator
from Nevada, vice Newlands. whose
term expires March 4, 1909, except the
act of Providence in removing Sparks
from this vale OF tears before the next
election.
The Holmes bill providing that all
foreign corporations doing business in
the State be required to pay the same
fees as local ones has passed both Houses.
This will have the effect of compelling
foreign corporations to not only make
the same showing with the Secretary Of
State, but also to pay like amount be.
fore doing business in Nevada. 1t will
also do away with the practice of scores
Of corporations in the State being in.
corporated under the laws Of Other

Buy Eighteen Thousand Acres
in White Pine County

land in question lies in one of the best
sections Of this State. and is especially
adapted for the raising Of grains.
This fertile tract has little attractions
to those in Nevada who are after land
bearing ledges OF precious metals. bnt
has been purchased by the Mormon
Church as an ideal location for a COM
munity settlement. In keeping with
the policy usually pursued in establish
ing colony. it is stated that the tract
will be subdivided into small acreage
farms and allotted to members of the
faith, who will make their homes there,
following agricultural pursuits and
paying for the land as they are able.
This. with the opening of arid lands
made useful by the recent Carson
Truckee irrigation project at Fallop.
will greatly increase Nevada's popula-
ton the next year or two.

Attempted Ineendiarism

A dastardly attempt was made last
Monday to burn the magnificent new

company adjoining the building with
lengths which he adjusted so as to enter
the mines company's building. abutting

The only result was the charring OF the
