AIDING THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Nevada historical society has
been for some time doing excellent
work but has never been recognized
as a state body
A bill was introduced yesterday
giving the society place in the list
of state institutions and appropriating
for its use the sum of $4,000.
The measure also states that the
society shall have sixty copies of
the different state publications, ex-
cepting the report of the supreme
court.
1t has been stated that if a person
wanted to borrow a quarter or build
a dog kennel in Nevada that he must
first secure permit from the leeis-
lature. The general opinion is that
the regulations on the matters Of
permits is too strong and it is re-
ported that there will be a bill in
troduced which will make it possible
for the so called red tape to be done
away with. Senator Pyne has a bill
before the legislature which allows
of the issuing of bonds for the erec-
ton of buildings without the legis-
latures consent as beginning.

NEGOTIABLE PAPERS.

The negotiable papers of the state
of Nevada have never been regulated
and the man owning one does not
know how it will be received out
OF the state. The different states
have different laws Of the matter.
The only solution Of the problem
that has been offered is for all states
to enact laws On the subject that
are along the same lines. The New
York act On the subject has been
generally adapted by more than
twenty states and territories and the
District of Columbia has enacted a
law very similar to the New York
statute.
A bill on these lines was introduced
by Mr. Huskey and has been passed
by the assembly. Il will go to the
sente today
The trouble that has been several
times witnessed i'll the mining dis
tricts of colorado will meier oo~
cur in Nevada from the importation
of hired detectives, if the bill which
passed the assembly is passed in the
senate as the governor is known to
be very friendly to the miners and
will sign the bill The measure was
amended but the amendments were
of a technical measure and did not
affect its meaning.

THE TRAW TRIAL
The Limit Finally Reached in the
Testimony Regarding Whites
Den.

The public may be pleased to learn
that the limit has finally been reach
ed in the Thaw trial. Yesterday Mrs.
Thaw, who has been testifying about
Whites den in the Madison Square
building, was asked to tell of some
OF Whites orgies told her by her
husband and she replied that she
could not repeat them as they were
unspeakable.
1t seems that finally a limit has
been reached in the matter and that
further details will be Withheld Ct
long enough to enable the public to
disenfect their back numbers of the
newspapers and take breath.
1t was show in yesterdays testi-
mony that workmen working on the
outside Of the building frequently
heard the screams of young girls
who were being subjected to inhuman
treatment in Whites den Of horrors.
Delmas is now in supreme COM
mand Of the case and the reports
of disagreement among Thaw's
counsel are without Foundation.
The sentiment Of the public is
largely for Thaw and pools are be-
ing sold on the outcome Of the case.
The betting is five to one in Chicago
that he don't go to the electric chair.

4 FOOLS ERRAND

Under this head the Tonopan Sun
says:
The latest development in connec-
ton with the matter of incorporation
is, the journey to Carson, of a self
appointed delegation Of four, to fight
the passage of the measure, demand
ed by 500 out of LOO voters and tax
payers Just what their argument
will be is not as yet known, but the
task of convincing the legislators
that the people of Tonopah are
against incorporation should be a
difficult one when it is considered that
500 out of LOO voters and taxpayers
have signified their wishes in favor
of the measure. This self-appointei
committee does present a rather ludi-
over 200 miles from Tonopah. An
other is interested in a pecuinary
way in an enterprise that might suf-
fer if Tonopah was incorporated. A
third had previously acted as though
he was in favor of the move Fourth
and last is a member of the county
commission, who probably dislikes
to be particularly shorn of the perog-
atives that he now enjoys. but which
he is apparently unable to exercise
This is indeed formidable array and
if their influence is felt it will be
nothing short of a miracle.

RENO WILL HAVE MORE TINE

Four years hence Reno will no
doubt have to reconstruct its sewage
system, a bill being introduced in
the assembly yesterday afternoon
which assured of favor allowing
delay for enforcement of the meas
ure which will be presented by the
governor to stop the city from using
the Truckee river for a deposit OF
deleterious mater from the munich
pal drains. As5emblyman Folsom Of
Reno presented the bill for the re-
lief Of the city he represents. He
stated after its introduction, that the
city is absolutely at the mercy OF the
legislature and that if the measure
does not 60 through Reno will have
to expend about halt a million dol
lars to construct a new sewer outlet,
The present law provides that after
1868 he sewers Of Reno and Sparks
will not be tolerated to empty the
poisonous substances in the Truckee,
But the councils of the cities men
toned are unable to cope with the
situation, for the funds available are
not enough % carry out the project.
The Folsom measure provides:
Any person or persons, firm, COM
pany, corporation Or association in
this state or the managing agent
Of any person or persons, firm. COM
pany, corporation or association in
this state or any duly elected, ap-
pointed or lawfully created officer
o. any county, city. town, munic:
pa1ity Or municipal government in
this state who shall deposit or who
shall permit 10 be deposited in this
state an sawdust, filth, rubbish or
poisonous or deleterious substances,
liable to affect the health OF perons
fish or live stock in a place where
the same may be washed Or filtered
into the waters named, shall be guilty
of a misdeameanor. and upon con
victiOn shall be fined not less than
fifty or more than FIVE hundred dol
lars; provided that in the cases of
cities. when, owing to the magnitude
Of the work. immediate correction of
the evil is impracticable, then in such
cases the authorities shall adopt all
new work, and as rapidly as possible
reconstruct the old sytems of drain
age: and further provide that all
such reconstructions shall be finished
by March 20 1910.
Mr.. Folsom introduced another bill
on the water subject. providing at
the suggestion of the governor, that
the streams of the state become slug
gish and very impure. by the di-
version of too much water. and that
irrigation be stopped on Sunday to
prevent this condition. The details
Of the measure summarized are that
from twelve o'clock Saturday night
until twelve O'Clock Sunday night
from the fifteenth day of May until
the fifteenth day of October of each
year no one can take any water from
any streams of the state.
Governor Sparks appended a spec
ial message along with this bill. stat
ing: The unsanitarv conditions pre-
vale in many parts of the state at
tributable to clean and polluted
waters are matters of serious con-
temptation al this time The waters
obtainable in some localities is u11-
! fit for use, and that an increasing
/ population such as is now apparent
| must necessarily increase the danger
! I have carefully perused the bill and
/ recommended that it do pass.

giving as IN excuse for the farmers
not taking their blackberries to
town that they were alarmed
about a false report of a $50 fine
for selling berries III Salisbury.
This is a mistake, the farmer has
only learned that it pays best to
eat what he can and can what he
can't.
Pa vobiscum Bro. Lee. you are
right a1neRtnthe farmer being the
opr country. AL
though We are enjoying those
great God-given rights, such as
freedom and self-govern o {.
Yet if we want to remain SO we
must profit from the sad history
of other countries and. join our
selves together, lest the pathetic
stories Of ancient oppression, such
as the early history of Rome and
France hands down to us, shall
again darken the pages of history.
Labor must be united if it is to
Withstand successfully the assaults
of united capital. The farmers
can never be a power as long as
they remain devlded. It is true
that the armer is the life of a ma
ton, and that nations have fallen
because this life was crushed by
being divided, yet there are reasons
for thinking that history will re-
peat itself, and we be made to
suffer because we would not unite
and work together.
