HON. A. c.. SCHERR

FOR GOVERNOR
And SauS All fractional Differences

Auditor Arnold &. Scherr TODAY
made formal announcement of his
candidacy for the Republican nomi
nation for governor. Recalling the
former self.sacrifces of Republi-
cans in order to gain supremacy of
the state, he calls for the .sold
spirit of self sacrifice that character
lied our leaders In the days when it
tried mems souls TO be Republicans
in West Virginia.
He declared that eff / become

will look precisely alike to me, and
if elected governor, l will stand for
and be in favor of every single man

poration in it, SO long as they obey
the laws, and all will be treated
exactly alike"
Regarding the tax laws, he says
cit will be my aim to execute the
tax laws on the statute books and
would not consent to take a step
backward, but give every person
and every interest square deal.
Our constitution demands that taxa
tion shall be equal and uniform and
that no species of property shall be
taxed higher than another, and this
mandate requires that no property
shall escape it's just share of taxa
ton.
"We have constantly arising IN

ment and progress are SO great, new
and grave questions, but thew can
easily be solved if we stick togeth-
er, advise with each other, help
each other, and act always from no

Esprit of devotion and loyalty to
our state and it's best interests.
In conclusion, he says: "Havine

Automobiles in the Desert.

Camels, and old ships of the desert,
will soon give way to the new ships OF
the desert automobiles. The sue
cession, like that Of steam greyhounds
to clipper ships at sea, has to NEE:
prejudice and conservative habit, but
the conquest by the automobile Of the
sand wastes of Nevada is an accom-
plished fact Here, to be sure, 1t was
not the camel, but the burro and the
stage coach that had to yield. Under
the heavy cars the sand hardens into
smooth tracks, and with little work
good motor roads can be made. Sew
eral toll roads have been built and more
are promised. Rich miners and others
who use motor cars for business and
pleasure are behind the movement to
construct roads to connect all import
ant points; and the commercial devel-
opment of Southern Nevada Is assured.

CEDAR d RI FOR LEAD PENCILS.

Now Bought by the Pound ana SiroW'
ing Searcer Each Year.
The lead pencil is one Of the most
common articles in everyday use, and
nearly 32O,OOO,OOO pencils are manu-
featured In this country every year.
To manufacture these millions of pen
ellis there are required 10000 tens, or
1900, 900 cubic feet, Of wood, Sd that
each day In the year 300 tons, Or co.
600 cubic feet, of wood are used for
pencils. Since practically NIL of the
wood is red cedar and since the pencil
industry is steadily growing, the sup
ply Of red cedar is greatly depleted,
vet no substitute has been found for
1t, says the New York Times. Leaving
out Of consideration the imported pen
ellis, the average educated American
over ten years of age uses six pencils
of home manufacture each year. Ten
years ago he used less than five.
Red cedar has a soft, straight grain
and when grown under best conditions
Is very free from defects. Because OF
its peculiar qualities no equally good
substitute for it has ever been found,
and it Is doubtful II any other wood
using industry is SO dependent upon q
single species as the pencil industry Is
dependent upon red cedar. In fact,
red cedar suitable for pencil lnanufac-
ture is the only wood the price OF
which is always quoted by the pound.
Strange as it may seem, no steps
have heretofore been taken to provide
for future supply Of red cedar. This
has been largely due to a lack OF In
formation on the rate Of growth and
the habits of the tree and to the wide
spread belief that second growth red
cedar never reaches merchantable size.
In accordance with Its policy toward
the conservation and economic use OF
commercial woods the forest service
has made careful study Of red cedar
and has come to the conclusion that 1t
can probably be grown In regions OF
its development. Several changes are
recommended in present forest man
agement in order to secure the desired
growth. In the southern, forests the
cedar will have to be given better
chance instead Of being considered as
now, negligible quantity III its youn-
ger stages, and many of the forest
grown trees which are now cut for
fence posts can proftably be left to-
attain their full development and thus
become available, for pencil wood. az,

Casey Won His Bet.

of there in FIVE days." Mr.. Stephens
said to Roy Casey, the constable.
The bet was made. Casey turned to
Thomas Raper, deputy, and said:
"Move 'em out Tom"
Raper went to Calls home.
"Got to move you out" he said blunt
ly, "but I'll give you 80 cents to set
your goods in the street"
It was chance for Call He accept
