bitten by the first winds thai
travel the staid halls of the as.
, sembly never reaching the SEN
ate of the chief executive.
Governor Sparks is now busv
at work on his annual message
: to the legislature and there is
considerable speculation as to
just what he will recommend.
Intimate friends state that he
will refer to the condition of the
railroad affairs in the state and
may make some recommends
tlons In the matter. The game
laws VIII also be touched upon
ana the message will breathe
that progressive spirit now mani
fest throughout the state and the
executive will ask that the legis-
lators take the general conditions
OF the state in consideration and
govern themselves accordingly.
The chief executive does not
believe that the annual message
is near so efficient as the special
messages which are sent during
the session on particular things
then under consideration and as
consequence the first message
will not be voluminous.
several Legislators have already |
announced their intentions of in
Producing anti-gambling bills and
it is likely hard fight will be
made upon The sports of the
state at the coming session. The
men who are back of the bills
mean business and they have an
nounced to Intimate friends that
thev expect to fight to the finish
on the proposition.
There will also be introduced
an anti-fighting bill and the
delegations from the southern
country are expected to come
loaded to the nozzle to defeat /,
such a mearure. This bill will

'nti-gambling bill. |
A railroad bill is also promised |

lave stated they feel fully COM
'etent to handle the question. .
An old railroad man who is en- >
aged in fighting roads, will :

deas on the bills however.
There will be a prison bill and
ONE talk of trying to change
ne penal system of Nevada to
n indeterminate sentence and
arole" instead of the present n
ystem. "
A bill for the construction of e,
n executive mansion in Carson m
lty will be introduced, several to
'glslators from the Cow dis t,
1cts' having signifed their in $,
'ntion of fathering such a bill. M
lhether it will pass the two S,
ouses is question but the RI
cal delegation will stand pat le
nd it may get through. es
It's not known what appropria- of
on the bill will carry but 500, 600 m
$780, 900 is suggested by many pr
I'd it is likely that one of these
will be adopted. th
One of the hardest fights in the of
ming session and which promis- ar
considerable fun to "a man up fiji
tree" will be that over the al,
unity seat of Esmeralda. The ab
