CELL OR k.OFP.
Is Paving an Official Visit
to Tonopah
Lodge

Will L. Mackey, Grand Chancellor
of the knights of Pythias of the Do
main of Nevada, arrived in this city
yesterday to pay an official visit to
Mizpah Lodge. No. 25, of Tonopah.
To a representative OF the Bonanza
Mr.. Mackey gave some interesting
facts in connection with Pythianism.
During the past three months he has
visited every lodge in the state OF
Nevada. While in point OF numbers
the Nevada domaip is small its area
is nearly twice as large as the COM
bined area of Illinois and Indiana.
The membership on January ], 1908,
was 1929. larger in proportion to pop
ulation than any other state in the
Union The twenty-five lodges OF the
Order extend all over the state and
the Grand Chancellor has Travelled
over 5000 miles by rail and nearly
900 by stage TO visit them. The year
1907 was the second highest in point
of gain in all the history of the order
in Nevada. The order universal last
year gained over $1,000 members ana
today numbers over 100000
The insurance department, X. OF
P. has undergone many radical chan
ges recently. and now stands abso-
lutely safe, sound and able TO meet
its obligations. It is based on such
lines that the history of SO many
fraternal insurance societies will not
he repeated in its case.
The Pythian ,Sisters-the women's
auxiliary of the X. and P.-is pros
porous. A new temple was recently
Instituted at Eureka.
The Grand Chancellor will visit
Mckinley Lodge at Goldfeld tonight
and return to Tonopah for the Crane
Lodge tomorrow.
MI Mackey is well known in New
ada. having been raised on the Com
stock. For the past thirteen year
he has been foreman of the Stat
Printing Office at Carson City. Thi
is his first official visit to this sec
ton, and he expressed himself a
astonished and pleased with the NAL
velous growth of Tonopah. Yeste1

MAY NOT
GET DEVISE
On Account of California
Law in Regard
to Estate

"'Man proposes and God disposes,"
is a truism which was recently ex-
emplified in the matter Of the estate
of the late David Russell of Loyalton,
California
David Russell died about year and
a half ago. devising by his will his
estate, valued at some wnere between
$4,000 and $4,000, to the University
of Nevada This money the Univer-
sity wanted and had calculated to use
in many necessary ways, but now
there is an extremely good chance
that it will never receive more than
one third of it, for this reason:
There is a law on the statute books
of the state of California which pro
vides that no testator may give to
any charitable institution CF purpose,
more than third of his estate
unless such disposition Or will is made
more than 80 days before the date
of the testators death.
This would probably not have been
questioned had it not been, that there
is a man in New York named William
Russell, who says he is cousin OF
David Russell, and his sole heir, anC
/ he has appealed to the courts OF Cal
/ ifornia to see that he gets two thirds
sci prove his relationship there i:
but little doubt that he will shut ou
the Nevada University and the Pa
rochial School of Reno, also a bene
ficiary under the will, from the great
er part Of the bequest.
The case is set down for hearin:
in the Superior Court at Downievill
Cal, July goth.

His Words in Present w
the School Of Mines
Expressed Wishes

Mr.. Chairman Of the Board of Re-
gents and President Stubbs: 1t was
the intention Of my father during his
lifetime to put in some permanent
and useful form an indication Of his
appreciation of what Nevada had done
for him. Whatever credit may be
properly due for the erection of this
building belongs to him. My mother
and myself have only tried as best
we could to carry out his expressed
desire. In our endeavor to that end,
we felt that whatever we did should
be constructive and helpful. and we
could think Of no token more certain
to serve that purpose than school
of mines, which should afford to
young men facilities to acquire train
/ ing and education not accessible to
the youthful miners of my fathers
time. On behalf of my mother and
myself, in loving memory of my faith.
er, dedicate the Mackay School Of
Mines in the hope that it will facili-
tate the development of mining engi-
neering in this great region Of min
eraI treasure and that its inaugura-
ton may mark the dawn of a new era
in the history of the University, in
whose interest vou Mr. President and
your associates, have labored so ionc
and so faithfully as to richly deserve
the great success which, firmly be.
leve, you are bound to achieve.

When the case was first taken from
the circuit court here to the supreme
court, that tribunal sustained the de-
cision of the circuit court in sustaining
the company's demurrer TO the bill,
and held that the franchise ordinance
was an irrevocable contract. The court
granted rehearing. and now in effect
