CONCESSIONS ARE GIVEN
Sen. Nixon's Telegram Shows
That Secretary Garfield
Has Granted Favors.

The following is telegram received
by us Tuesday from Senator Geo. S.
Nixon:
Washington, d. c., Dec. ID, 1908.
Editor STANDARD,
Fallon, Nevada:
Senators Nixon and Newlands. Rep
resentative Bartlett, and Shober Rog-
ers had an interview today with the
Secretary of the Interior and Mr.. New
ell, Chief Engineer of the Reclamation
Service. The situation Of the delin-
quent settlers Of the Truckee-Carson
Project was fully considered. The at
titude of Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Newell
was discussed, but they expressed the
difficulty of relaxing the rule regarding
payments, without making it operative
in all of the projects, some twenty
three in number. Such policy would
seriously delay other needed projects
that were being urged by citizens of
the various states. After considerable
discourse in which Senator Hewburn of
Idaho parcipitated, it was concluded
that Legislation should be enacted Civ
ing the Secretary of the Interior power
to deal with each individual case accord
ing to its hardships or merits. An
amendment will be drafted up to this
effect and submitted to to the Secre-
tary Of the Interior and affairs prop
erly acted upon by the Irrigation Com
mittee of Congress. Meanwhile the
Secretary of the Interior will take no
action regarding the the forfeiture of
any existing rights.
Senator Geo. S. Nixon.
Per d. V. Jones, Secretary.
This news will be we'll received by
the people of this community with
much enthusiasm and the result shows
that the delegation from this state in
Washington are laboring for our well
fare which will be greatly appreciated
by the settles of this project.
This is just what the people of this
locality have been working for, that
is, Legislation should be enacted
that would give the Secretary of the
Interior the power to grant favors ac-
cording to the demand of the local
surroundings. With law Of this kipA
in effect the Secretary would have the
power to grant any of the Reclamation
Projects an extention or deferred pay
ments of water taxes. For instance
the Truckee-Carson Project might need
more privileges than any other % pro-
jeets, while again it might be vice
versa. With the enactment of such
amendment to the Reclamation Law,
1t will not only help this project but
will be of much benefit to the other
ones.
Personally, Secretary Garfield is in
elined to grant US more favors but he,
like all other public officials, must stay
on the inside of the law that is laid
down to him.

will be made until after some kind Of

 But Harry had not heard. He did not even know that he had spoken aloud.
 David Stires turned his wheel chair to the Korean desk. touching the bell as he did so. He took up the draft and put 1t into his pocket. He pressed a spring: panel dropped and disclosed a hidden drawer. from which he took a cracking parchment. It was the will against whose signing Harry had pleaded months before in that same room. The butler entered.

He paused at the curb and listened curiously, for Hallelujah Jones with his evangelism mingled spice of the zeal of the socialist In his thinking the rich and the wicked were mingled inextricably in the great chastisement. He was preaching now from his fla vorite text: .Woe to them that are at ease in Zion." ... gN
 Harry smiled grimly. He had al- ways been "at ease in Zion" He wore sumptuous clothes. The ruby in his ring would bring what this plodding exhorter would call fortune. At this moment Hede. his dapper Finn chauf. feur. was polishing the motor car for him to take his cool evening spin. That very afternoon he had put into the little safe in the chapel study S2.0O0 in gold which he had drawn. part for his charities and quarterly payments and a part to take with him for the exigencies of his trip. The street evan gclist over there preaching paradise and perdition to the grinnlng yokels i often needed a square meal and was lucky if he always knew where he would sleep.
 The thread of his thought broke. The bareheaded figure had ent:ed his harangue. The eternal fires were bank ed for time. while. seated on camp stool at his melodeon. he proceeded to 1 transport his audience to the heavenly meads of the New Jerusalem. i Two, three verses of an old fashioned hymn he sang. and after each verse more of the bystanders. some in real earnestness. some in impious hilarity, shouted in the chorus:
 Palms of victory!

 Palms of victory I shall wear"
 Harry walked on in a brown study, the refrain ringing through his brain. At the chapel gate lounged his chauf. feur awaiting orders.
 Bring the cur round, Hede." said Harry, land I sha'n't need you after that tonight. I'll drive her myself You can meet me at the garage"
 The study was pitch dark. and Rum. my halted on the threshold with low, ominous growl as Harry fumbled fol the electric switch.

CHOLERA KILLING
 TRA|NL0AD DAILY.
Women to See Dead Try to Break Open Collins.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 23.-The cholera dead are being inferred at Preobrozhen- skoe, which is about an hours distance on the railroad from St. Petersburg. A train of several coaches carrying the mourners and a dozen freight cars with the dead goes daily to this place. The scenes are heartrending in and about the chapel where service is con- ducted uninterruptedly night and day. The Identification numbers of the dead are marked on their rough coffins with white paint. .
 As coffin after coffin is brought to the chapel the women who have gath cred there. singling out the numbers, betray frantic grief. In some cases a mad struggle is made to wrench off the lids and snatch last look at the departed.
 The scarcity of grayediggers has caused a painful delay in the past few days, 150 coffins containing bodies now being stored in the adjoining wood- she'd Some of the mourners have been waiting their turn for several days.

KILLS THIRTEEN ON CRUISER.
Explosion Stays Entire Gun Crew and Mains Many Others.

Mains Many Others.
 Toulon, France, Sept. B. - During gunnery drill one of the big turret guns on the French armored cruiser Latouche Treville exploded with ter rife violence, completely wrecking the after turret and killing outright the en- tire gun crew of thirteen, A number of men were seriously injured, some of them probably fatally.
 The accident was similar to that aboard the gunnery schoolship Cour- bonne on Aug. F last, when by the bursting of the breech of one of the guns six men were killed and eighteen injured. The drill had been proceeding for a considerable time when without warning the whole turret seemed to blow out Dismembered bodies were thrown in all directions, and several of them were hurled into the sea through the great breech caused by the explo- sion.
 The spectacle was horrible, the dead and wounded, together with shattered arms and legs. littering the decks. A call to quarters was sounded, and as speedily as possible the wounded were cared for. The gun that exploded was 7.6 inches bore, of which the cruiser carried two. Happening so soon after the accident on the Couronne, the ex- plosion has caused sensation in naval circles and doubtless kiH lead to . most rigid investigation.
 The Latouche Treville carries. com. plement of 370 men.
