Representatives Baird and Fesler

but will probably be home tonight.
The lieutenant governor will come
back with an increase in salary to
$4,000 per year from $500. The

tional duties he VIII have TO perform.

WARDEN FOR
PROTECTION
OF GAME
Commissioners Make Ap-
pOintment, Effective at
Once--Heavy Penalties
for Violations of Law

Gene Allison was yesterday APP
pointed fish and game warden for
White Pine county by the board of
county commissioners He will take
Office at once. as the first incumbent
in the position. The appointment
was made in conformity with petit
ton presented to the board by the
members of the lily Gun club, Mayor
Clark and Justice Cartwright acting
as the committee.
In making his presentation of the
petition yesterday morning, Mr..
Clark asked for the appointment of
warden but at that time the board
would not listen to the proposition
At his request they set 3 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon as the time when
Mr. Clark might address them on the
subject.
He appeared at the hour S t and
made short talk, setting forth the
need of the whole county for this
official He related several instances
which had come under his notice
where game and fish had been need
lessly slaughtered by 'sportsmen
and deer had been killed out of sea-
son.
His talk was a convincing one and
converted the members of the hoard
to his belief. as they appointed Mr..
Allison. With his duties will be in
cluded distribution of fish, guard
ing of game except in open season
and arresting of all offenders.
The penalties for breaking the
game laws in this state are severe
enough to make them respected.
when there is warden to enforce
them. The penalties which can be
assessed upon conviction of violation
of any of the fish or game provi-
sions of the statutes are fine of not
less than $50 nor more than $500,
and Imprisonment for not less than
25 nor more than $50 days in coun-
ty Jail
The salary of the newly made Of
flee is modest, being only 500 a
year. but aside from II Mr.. Allison
will receive fees for each person ar
rested and convicted. The money
end, however, has no great bearing
on his acceptance, as he takes the
Office more from a spirit of sports
manship than because of any other
motive.

He j. Not Drawing "A Separate Salary
as Instructor AT Nevada
University.

Railroad Commissioner Thurtell is
giving services without cost to the
state of Nevada as an Instructor at
the University of Nevada. This was
brought out at a joint meeting of
the railroad commission and the
members of the legislature held at
Carson last week The commission
ers had been invited to the session
to give report of the work done
during the past year.
Thurtell in reviewing the part he
has taken in the work the commits
sioners have done. took occasion TO
effectually put at end the persistent
report that has been circulated to the
effect that he is drawing double
salary from the state treasurer. one
as a railroad commissioner the other
as a member of the faculty of the
University of Nevada.
"The only salary | am drawing. "
said Thurtell. rs that as a member
of the Nevada Railroad commission.
My services as an instructor at the
University of Nevada | am giving

of the interest | take in educational
work.
During the meeting last night
Chairman Bartine addressed the leg
islators. reviewing the work the COM
missioners have done since taking Of
fee and giving an outline of what is
planned for the future. Commits
sioner Shaughnessy also spoke and
along the same lines as Bartine.

MCDONALD is
BACK IN THE
OLD alpha

Seeming to have forgotten his ter
rible experiences in the Alpha shaft,
which was near to being his tomb
Fred Mcdonald, one of the miners
imprisoned for 46 days on the 900
foot level with A. ID. Bailey and
Peter Brown, has returned to work.
He has entirely recovered from the
effects of his long Imprisonment.
Barely two weeks have elapsed
since he was taken from his under
ground prison through series of
fortunate circumstances, coupled
with the heroic work of band of
rescue workers, yet he has resumed
his labors in the mine which came
so near to killing him.
Although his eyes are yet trife
weak from long strain in the dark
of the underground workings, where
he and his companions were con-
fined, physically he is as well as
ever.
As yet neither Bailey nor Brown
have returned to their labors, al
though it is understood that both
will do so. Brown is at present at
his former home in Kansas, visiting
his relatives. Bailey is putting in
as much time with his family as pos
sible. He will probably go back to
work at the Alpha the fore part Of
next week.

of the county officers are working
on the straight salary plan while

Manuel ISuIia, of the Seventh

THE TRUTH IN THE SANTA
FE TAX CASES.

At the republican meeting 'as'
Tuesday night, one of the SPEAK
ers tried to make it appear tna'
Mark Smith failed in his duty ID
the matter of the Santa Fe taxes
The facts in the case are as fol-
lows:
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad now pays taxes oi
sl75.OO a mile in Arizona. When
Il boupht the Atlantic and Paelhc
land grant road, they desired 10
oonsoI;date them under one man
agemept. They claimed that the
Atlantic and Pacific was exempt
from taxes. The bill they nitro
duced in Congress to CONSOLIDATE
the roads, was opposed by Mr.
smith unless they would diselaim
exemption and pay taxes. Inc
Boards of Supervisors were anx
ious to compromise on sloo'Uo per
mile which the road finally offered
Smith refused to accept H. Du'
withdrew all opposition on having
inserted in the bill disclaimer o'
apy future exemption and the pro,
vision that they would pay sl1o'oo
a mile taxes each year. The press
of Northern Arizona at the tlme
said that this act alone had done
Arizona more good than had come

No Trouble to Show Goods.
BRAGG & VARNEY
rladison Avenue Skowhegan, lie.
Bothering Wardens.

One of the propositions which the
commissioners of inland fisheries and
game have to deal with at present is
that of venting the Italian laborers
and other unnaturalized foreign born
residents from carrying firearms into
the woods and hunting game in vio-
lation of chapter lis OF the public laws
of 1907, and it is one that is causing
not a small amount of work on the
part of the wardens to whom is in
trusted the duty of seeing to it that
the above law is enforced.
The latest scene of action is up on
the Somerset extension, where a
large crew of Italian laborers in the
employ of the railroad company is at
work changing the location of the
track to avoid crossing bog. When
the gang went into the woods the
commissioners were given to under
stand by the boss of the gang that NO
firearms should be taken into the
camps, but nevertheless the guns and
revolvers got there. Not long ago
the commissioners received word that
a consignment of firearms had been
shipped to the camp, and last week
the game wardens in that vicinity
were notified of the fact and instruc-
lions given for them to hunt the guns
out.
The trip was made to the station
camp Sunday, the wardens engaged in
the expedition being Messrs. Adams,
Durgin, Pierce, Brown, Wood and Nc
Richie, the start being made from
Mike Marr's sporting camps at Indian
pond at O'Clock in the morning, the
wardens dividing into two squads
They arrived at the station camp at 7
O'Clock, one of the squads meeting an
Italian in the woods with a gun and
taking the weapon away from him.
On arriving at the station the ward
ems requested the italians to bring out
their guns and revolvers, but the lat
ter refused to do this and the wardens
proceeded to search the camp, where
they found two shotguns and one rifle.
making three shotguns in all.
1t Is said that during the search i'll
the camp one of the Italians got lit
tie excited and brandished knife at
Warden Durgin, but that gentleman
promptly pulled his Luger pistol on
the son of sunny Italy which caused
him and his comrades to stampede
for the outer air. 1t is felt that other
guns were secreted about the camp
which will without doubt be locked
up later.
