ANOTHER RAILROAD
TO enter RAWHIDE
WILL ENTER THE NEW CAMP
FROM DIRECTION OF
FALdON

Another railroad is planned for
Rawhide, says the Reno Journal.
Surveyors will start next week to
locate right-of-way for railroad
from Fallon to Rawhide. The pro-
,moters of this most important en-
terprise are the wealthiest and most
influential men of Churchill county
and it's industries.
The corps of surveyors will be
in charge of r. II. McGregor who
did much of the survey work of the
'Truckee-C Carson project having been
done by him.
The proposed route is by way of
Crimes ranch to Rock springs,
distance of II miles, where spur
will be built to Sand springs, the
latter being ten miles from Rock
springs and twelve miles from Fair
view. From Rock springs it is
rwenty-one miles to Rawhide, that
being the halfway station between
Fa1lon and Rawhide. Between Rock
springs and Sand springs are the
wonderful salt deposits of Churchill
county, where millions of tons of
ahe purest table salt (98 per cent
pure) awaits transportation facili-
ties.
Those interested in the road make
the following argument for it:
The most important item in favor
of the Fallon route is saving in
distance, and consequently in time,
two of the most vital essentials in
flailroading, which in the case in
question amounts to about forty
miles or more than two hours in
freight time. The distance from Haz-
en-. the main line junction. to Schurz
is seventy miles and from Schurz to
Rawhide twenty-siK miles, or ninety
six miles from Hazen to Rawhide by
the Schurz route. From Hazen to
Fallon it is sixteen miles and from
Fallon to Rawhide forty-two miles,
or fifty-eight miles from HAGEN to
Rawhide via the Fallon route. Thus
1t will be seen that there is a saw
ing of thirty-eight miles and more
than two hours in time In favor of
the Fallon route. It will pass through
twenty-seven miles OF rich farming
lands embraced within the Truckee-
Carson reclamation project. with the
great salt deposits midway between
-Fallon and Rawhide.
The promoters of the road have
been quietly perfecting their plans

JOHN BARNES,

A candidate for Judge of the Supreme
court, was born on farm in Manitowoc
county, and educated in the schools Of
this state. After teaching a number of
years, he was admitted to the bar and
settled at Rhinelan1er, Wisconsin,
where he has since been engaged in the
practice of law. He has been engaged
as counsel in the most important cases
arising in Northern Wisconsin, particu-
larly in cases involving the collection of
taxes against large property holders.
He was chosen to represent Gov. La
Toilette in the La Follette-Cook contro-
versy Of 1904, not because of any po-
litical affiliations, but solely for his
ability as a lawyer.
He was appointed member of the
newly created railway commission by
Gov La Toilette in 1905, and his APP
pointment was unanimously confirmed
by the senate. He took part in the con
sideration of many important cases, and
it speaks well for his ability as a judge
to say that although the commission
while he was chairman of that body,
rendered decisions which resulted in a
saying of million dollars annually in
freight rates to the people of this state,
that only one appeal was taken from
these decisions to the courts.
Mr. Barnes is 48 years Of age, fifteen
years younger than his youngest oppon-
emit He has strong, vigorous consti-
tuition, is energetic and Industrious. I'M
less impaired by age the usefulness of a
Judge OF the Supreme Court increases
with years of service.
If elected, Mr.. Barnes can. give ths
state at least twenty years excellent
service, and every section of the state
will be fairly represented in the Su-
preme Court.

RARE COPPER CENTS.
Coin Collectors Theory to Account FOR
Their Scarcity.

Coin Collectors Theory to Account FOR
Their Scarcity.
That some of the rarest and most
valuable of the United States cents,
particularly those dated 1899 and 1904.
owe their scarcity TO the fact that Full
ton built the Steamboat Clermont Is
the theory held by some coin collectors.
They believe that thosss nds of the old
time large copper cents Went toward
making the copper boiler for the pio-
neer steamboat.
This theory would explain the mys-
terry that has long puzzled coin collect
ors as to the reason for the almost to-
tai disappearance of the cents of the
dates mentioned.
The first cents struck ut the United
States minis at Philadelphia were OF
large size. The copper blanks, or
planchets, were imported from Eng
land, being sent over in kegs.
Copper Mt this period was scarce
article in this country. With the ex-
ception of the small quantity pro-
duced at the only copper mines then
known in the United States, those at
CRANKY, Conn, nearly all the metal
used here came from England,
Builders of steam engines Ia those
days were of the opinion that boilers
constructed Of iron were unsafe and
lmpracticahlc. and as consequence
boilers weie made of copper. all the
boilers that came from England being,
it Is said, constructed of that metal.
Fulton was likewise OF the belief that
copper was the only fit metal 30 be
used in boilers.
1t is therefore possible that, finding
a scarcity of metal with which to con-
struct the boiler of the Clermont, lie
finally resorted 10 the most convenient
source Of supply. which happened to
lie the large United States copper
cents. OF course The cost Of such a
boiler would represent a large sum.
but IL is 81 the records that the steam
fligate Fulton launched in 1915. the
year Of the inventors death. had
boiler entirely constructed of copper,
which alone cost the large sum OF $23,-
600.
That the supply Of cents of this pc
Rod was large enough TO meet such a
demand Is also likely enough From
1893 to aud including 1855 1,066033
cents were coined and in l79G 974000
were struck.

been something like the presidential
campaign of 1908. Suppose this over
powering command had drawn line at
right angles with the lines of battle,
and set off the right wing of Lees army
with the seft Of Mead's, and said to
them, you belong together!" And to
the left wing IF Lee and the right of
Meade, it has been said, "You belong
together. Now fight the army or the
other side of this new line" 1t would
have been confusion, would it not?
Longstreet and Pickett, Stuart and
Fairly, would have been put into new
relations with Meade and Hancock,
and Sedgwick and Sheridan. The two
new armies made up of disunited halves
of the old foes would have been under
their old commanders, wearing their
old uniforms, responding to their old
rallying cries, following their old flags.
Their outward arrangements would
not have correspondent to their new
duties
So it is with the parties. Call it Bry-
anism or call it Rooseveltism, an over
powering force has drawn a line right
across the old battle line, and the men
who really compose the armies of today
are wearing party badges which distin-
guish the old armies rather than the
new What is the issue today?
The issue is, "Shall the curbing of
monopoly, the struggle for the square
deal, go on, or shall it cease?"
Roosevelt, Bryan, Cummins, Hoke
Smith, LaFollette, Conner of Alabama
they are leaders of one side--some of
them party Democrats and some party
Republicans.
Aldrich, Allison, Parker, Daniel,
Bailey, Foraker, Sullivan, Whitney,
Hale these are generals Of the other.
And some of them are Democrats and
some Republicans.
And the private soldiers, used to cali
ing themselves Democrat" and RE
publicans, are confused. The old
rallying cries will be raised on all hands,
for the purpose of lining up the voters
according to their memories rather than
their convictions. The tomtoms are
already sounding to call the "old line"
Republicans or Democrats to the colors.
The armies win get lined up on the
new issues, all in their new uniforms,
with new rallying cries-sometime-
perhaps. In the meantime tine voters
must sift out the issues for themselves.
