CARSON'S ODD CUSTOMS

Under the above head the Reno
journal has the following:
Carson City has theater. But I'M
like other snow houses, people prefer
TO sit in the balcony to using the
chairs in the pit. The opera house
cloaks and evening clothes of the res
idents here are displayed on the up
per floor, while the plebean crowd
occupies the section, which by custom
is the more select in other towns.
The point is: Two visitors in the
last night. On the way to their
friends home after purchasing their
tickets one asked the other: Would
you ever take a lady in the balcony?"
Not in a small town. In a larger
place where it is not so conspicuous
| might" the answer was readily re-
turned.
That much was settled. But when
the party Of four arrived at the
theater, and were being Insured down
the aisle to the lower floor one OF
the ladies, more unspoken than the
other remarked: What. Down
stairs?" Unsuspectingly the gentle
men said Yes" And later they re
ceiyed the explanation.
Carson uses the theater for dance
hall. The lower floor is not sloping
1t is slippery. People want the gal
, Iery seats where they can see the act-
/ ing on the stage.
The real reason that drives the peo-
PIE to the gallery is to get as far as
possible from the piano.
The piano is we'll played, but it IS
the oldest piano in the state, if not
on the coast. The management IS
thinking of getting another at an
early date, however.

AN EXCELLENT MEASURE

a bill will be interested dividing
The third judicial district into two
districts, one comprising Nye county
and the other EureAa ana Lander
counties.
The measure is certainly a neces-
sary one, and should be passed with
the least possible delay. Judge Breen
has made an heroic effort to contend
with the cOngested calander at Tono-
pah, but fnds it impossible to 90 SO
and also hold court in Eureka AMI
Austin.
The great amount of mining litiga-
ton in Nye county, occasioned by the
activity OF that industry in Tonopaa,
Bullfrog, Manhattan and other new
camps in that locality has simply
overburdened the district court al
TOnopah. Judge Breen has been at
work for month there, and there
still remains not only enough mining
cases to keep him busy for the next
eight or nine months, but about
dozen criminal cases besides. In the
meantime other cases are constantly
arising in that county and Eureka and
Lander, with the increase of prosper
ity in those counties and demanding
attention for their judicial matters.
The situation has come to such a
pass that the Judge of the third judi
. cIal district must simply have the re-
lief of the division Of that district, or
the wheels of justice will become 50
clogged that they can no longer re-
vOlve.

FROM SALOON TO HOSPITAL.

An Irishman in a large city was
wandering around hunting St. Luke's
hospital, when he met a man who
looked kindly and proved to be
policeman. He asked. DO you

tai? l want to go there The big
policeman replied: Sure 1 do, my
friend. You go down to the next cor
ner, turn to the left about half a
block. and there right in the center
you will find the finest saloon in the
city run by Tim Murphy. He is big
lookin' man and tinds ba hiself;

SENATOR ODD|E'S RAILROAD
BILL

That many OF the Legislators have
many different views on the subject
OF railroad rate legislation was evi-
denced yesterday when Senator Cd
die, OF Nyc county, introduced a bill
providing for maximum passenger
fare OF five cents a mile in the state
and a freight tariff which Will equal
ninety per cent OF the western classi-
tlcatlon.'
In explanation OF the bill, Senator
Oddie remarked that in its present
condition OF development and pros
perity the state CAN not afford to
antagOnize the railroads by passing
drastic legislation He said that the
welfare OF the southern Nevada camps
depends on the lines which are now
building, and that many roads pro
iected are being delayed i'll construc-
ton by the capitalists who are wait
ing to Sc what the senate and asseub-
y intends to do
Regarding railroads which have not
been completed two years, the Oddic
bill provides that they charge seven
cents a mile for passenger traffic.
The young roads can also charge
more iOr freight than the older lines.
By providing for the recording Of
Ill information relative to the puc-
chase and shipment OF all ore in the
state Senator Oddie hopes to end the
high grading which he says has been
practiced in the rich camps, result
ing in the loss Of thousands q dol
lars to the mine owners. The bill
was introduced in the senate and re
fer-ed to the committee on mines.
When any ore is offered for sale
the buyer must record the name oI
the seller, the mine from which the
ore was taken. the name OF the trans
fer man. and the destination OF the
ore when shipped. This the bill pro
vides, will lead to the recovery O
stolen ore when discovered
Train dispatchers will not be al
lowed to work more than eight con
secutive hours out of twenty-fOur
according to the provisions of the bill
introduced i'll the senate by Senator
Pyne. The proposed law provide:
that all dispatchers. railroad tele-
graphers and handlers of trains shall
be allowed the shorter working time
to prevent railroad accidents.

RAISING THE WARDEN.

y bill calling for a raise in the
salary OF the warden at the state
prison and the head Of the insane
asylum was introduced yesterday.
The office Of deputy warden was
eliminated a few years ago and the
warden has a great amount OF work
to do and the most disagreeable of
tasks falls to him. that of hanging.
At present the number of convicts
at the prison is more than twice as
large as it was when the salary was
fixed. The salary in the bill provides
an increase in the warden's salary
from $1,000 to $4,000, and the salary
of the superintendent Of the insane
asylum from $500 to $4,000 The bill
is being favorably mentioned among
the members and will meet with little
opposition.

NEEDS A PUMPING PLANT.

The state during the last two years
spent $4,000 sinking wells in the
Capitol square. Two twelve inch
we'll have been sunk to a depth of
several hundred feet. They are side
by side and flow of pure water
comes up from several points to with
in five feet of the surface. These
wells are ineXhaustable and by the
Sterrett system water can be pump
ed all over the Capitol grounds and
the state could be Independent of the
very poor water supply it now has.
The sum Of $4,000 would utilize this
enexhaustabble supply of water which
under present conditions is useless.

SENATOR BOYD ON THE RATE
BILL
He Thinks That no Road Will be In
jured by the Measure Introduced
by Syphus.

Senator Boyd has the following 70
say on the Syphus bill:
We want legislation to benefit the
people who are already residents Of
this state, and when we get it others
will come here to live, the cost of eX-
istence will be less, and the popula-
ton OF the state will increase. We
want legislation so that the cheaper
ores can be shipped with profit, and
a greater number Of men employed
all other commodities being effected
:aiSo' 4A.
The argument that legislation at
this time will block the progress Of
intended extensions Of the railroads
in Nevada is without reason. With
more business and the STATE will buill
! up faster. With high rates the camps
will be held within the grip of the
octopus, and at the end Of TWO years
we will be where we are now-with-
out any reductions.
The people know, Ine Legislators
know, that there Will be 10 compel
ton in Nevada by the railroads. The
people know and the legislators have
been told that more railroads are be
| ing projected in the southern part ot
themining country. But what ad
Vantage will they be? The countries
they will open up will he retarded il
growth by the high tariff rates. Only
! the higher grade ores can be shipped
ana it is a certainty that only a few
of the mines in each camp can he
worked profitably.
| Now, a railroad commission bill
with the detailed provisions that have
been placed in the measure introdua
ed by Syphus in the assembly, will
remedy the railroad evils In this state
And it will not stop the building OF
railroads, for it does not affect new
roads for two years. When it is
known that the Tonopah & Golddeld
40 the people think that the legiti
mate profi-s the roads will receive
if the proposed railroad commission
law is passed, will be such that it viii
be Improbable to extend the lines
The legislators know it Will not De
Improbable.
The objection has been made tha
a fiat rate established by the legis
lature, that will permit the Eureka 4
Palisade road to live, for instance
will be a license to the Southern Pa
cific to rob, while a rate that viii b;
fair to the Southern Pacific will p'i
the Eureka & Falisade and other ~
row-gau roads out of business E"y
if there is any person that can sue
gest a better remedy than the raj
road commission bill and that will b
just to all concerned, people and raj
q roads alike, I am willing to adopt
+ now and go ahead"
