LEGISLATIVE FORECAST
Things Likely to Enoross the Atten.
ton Of the Session

There will likely be some railroad
legislation at the session, although the
power that has long controlled State
affairs in Nevada will make a des-
qerate attempt to head it off. Cover
nor Sparks has already told his
friends that in his annual message
he would recommend some legisla-
tion on the railroad question, and his
attitude will mean considerable agains
the fight of the corporations.
In fact is is stated that this legis-
lation will be about the only radical
thing advocated by the Chief Execu-
tive in the message.
Senator Campbell of White Pine, it
is said will introduce a bill to abolish
gambling in the state and will make
hard night to try and carry it
through both housea and put the
measure up to the governor Several
other Legislators have also announced
,lat they expec to introduce anti
gambling and prizefght and he
sports of the state will likely be call
ed upon to spread some of the all
healing balm before they can return
to their couches in peace, quietude
and contentment.
In an interview Lieutenant Govern
or Dickerson stated that he was in
favor of radical legislation He
thought there ought to be law pass
ed making the maximum fair On rail
roads cents a mile, and where it
was possible, to govern the freight
tariffs. Another question that the
legislature should take action on
said the official, is the matter of re-
stricting the number OF mining claims

what the number should be limited
to, but do know that it is unjust, un.
fair and detrimental 20 a district &c

lators. The state the question will be

Under the present law when a

hind the bars, while no punishment
is meted out to the Indians. Put
more OF these fat lazy bucks to work
on the street and they might begin

Clay and Sand Near Severn, Md,
Valuable Commodity.
al Correspondence OF The Star.

Special correspondence or The Star.
SEVERN, Md, September 10. 1907
Much of the building material used in
Washington the past several years is a
product of this section of Anne Arundel
county That is the white clay from
which a large proportion of the white
pressed brick now so extensively used
is manufactured. About the time OF the
opening of the Spanish-American war a
man named kenan appeared in the neigh
borhood and remained several weeks dur
ing which time he explored the section. and
after numerous borings into the earth and
the testing of samples he purchased the
land and the work of excaVating clay be-
came a source of employment in COM
munity which before was entirely engaged
in agricultural pursuits.
Heavy beds of clay adjoining the rail-
road have been worked for several years,
and the average output has been about
two hundred carloads per month, enough
for ten million brick per year-nearly half
the production of the works In Virginia.
In the work here about fifty men are
employed and some of this clay has been
brought from a depth of 70 ty let beneath
the surface. 1t is not rare that at about
this depth p2trified wood has been found,
some of ii hewn timber.
In addition to over hundred acres here,
by this company and will be worked in
few years 1t is thought it will take fifteen
or twenty years to exhaust the deposit.
The barren, sandy hills he -etofore re-
garded as worth little for farming pur-
poses have Of late years also become a
source of profit. There is a market for the
sand for building purposes in thu city. and
from one of these hills near here carloads
are shipped to Baltimore and in the i'm
provements Of the Naval Academy there
were shipped over seven hundred carloads
of sand from Odenton by one party alone.
