Installation at Beersheba.

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather last Sunday, there was quite
a representative congregation out on
account Of the installation Of Rev. H.
]. Mills as pastor of Beersheba. Rev.
f. E Gillespie preached the sermon
of the occasion and charged the pastor
Elder G. H. O'Leary charged the peo-
pie. The service was very interesting
and instructive to all present.
Not Doing Much.
In a talk with the Charlotte Obser-
yer about the road situation in the
counties surrounding Mecklenburg, Mr.
Osmond Barringer says: York and
Lancaster counties In South Carolina
are not doing much. CASTOR county
went at it on a better plan than has
been followed by any other county
Over there they laid out the roads, had
the grading done by contract and had
convict labor crush the stone and put
it down. The idea was to get the roads
quick and yet use the convicts to their
full wCrkino capacity"
The Trains Are Needed.
Rock Hill Record: There is rumor
afloat to the effect that the Southern
railway Is considering the matter of
disseminating Nos. 35 and 36 that make
a round trip daily between Rock Hill
and Marion, N. c. In view Of the fact
that these trains afford convenient and
quick connections with the main lines
at Blacksburg, Rock Hill and Marion
and seem to be doing equally as much
business as either Of the other trains
now being operated, it Is to be hoped
that the management Is either not con-
sidering their discontinuance or If 1t
is it will decide to allow them to re-
main.
The Chainsang Question.
Rock Hill Record: DR.. Joseph H
Saye one of the representatives from
this county in the legislature, Is re-
ported as saying that he was trying to
devise a plan whereby the chaingang
can be eliminated as a county institu-
ton, and that he will propose at the
coming legislative session that an addi-
tional tax Of two mills be levied in this
county to be used exclusively for road
improvement. To carry these ideas into
effect would, Of course, require new leg
islation. Rut what the Record would
like to know is, why the laws already
in effect are not obeyed by the county
commissioners Of York? At the last
session Of the legislature law was
passed providing that the chaingang
should not be used in York county ex-
cept in building permanent roads. 1t is
to be presumed that the county COM
missioners know Of this law-or ought
to know Of it; and yet it is known of all
men that the chaingang in York county
Is about the most useless and extrava-
CANT institution with which our people
have ever been burdened. We do not
know If it Is a fact, but 1t Is said that
the chaingang has cost the county, on
an average, about $4,000 a year for the
last ten years. And what has York
county to show for it? Comparatively
speaking. nothing. Let the county
commissioners see that the law Is
obeyed.

Reymers Elected.

The many changes and reported
changes of the vote for state senator from
this county has at last been definitely
settled by the official count which gives
B. II. Reymers plurality of So votes.
Mr.. Reymers has made good record
in the assembly and there is no doubt
that he will continue his services in the
senate on the same line. 1t is no small
honor to be chosen to this Office and it is
especially gratifying to Mr.. Reymers
when his opponents were two such able
men of unimpeachable standing as Sen
ator Wilson and Hon. Thos. P. Mack.
No one of them but may we'll feel
proud of his part in the contest.

THE OIL MAN
Looks Over Yerington to Report to
Uncle Sam What We Have
in Store

As soon as it was learned that Geolo-
o;st Robert Anderson of the United
States geological department was to visit
Nevada, Acting Secretary Barnett of the
yerington Commercial Club sent letter
IN Senator Nixon in regard to the mat
ter asking il the geologist could not
visit Oil Basin and Smith Valley. The
reply is self-explanatory and is as fol-
lows:
Reno, Nevada Nov. 10, 1908.
Mr.. c. A. Barnett, Assistant Secretary
Yerington Commercial Club, Yer
ington, Nevada.
Ny dear sir: am in receipt of your
letter of the 9Th instant in regard to
having the Government oil expert, who
is now in Reno, visit the fields around
Yerington, and at my suggestion he will
leave here tomorrow "wednesday, on
No. "a for Wabuska and will spend a
couple of days, il necessary, in the vi
cinity of Yerington and Wellington.
While Mr.. Anderson, who is the ex-
pert, will probably be accompanied by
Mr.. Edwards, who is interested in that
section, think il would be well If he
could be met at Wabuska and taken di-
rect from there to the ground to be ex-
amined in order to save as much time as
possible, so that he may visit different
sections in that locality before leaving
the State. Yours very truly,
GEO. S. NIXON.
On Thursday morning, Professor An
derson, accompanied by w B. Edwards
and DR.. Cameron of Reno, arrived in
Wabuska and visited Oil Basin and vicin-
ity that day, arriving here in the even
ing. The club here was prepared to
care for them and Messrs. G.. NJ. Read
ing and c. +. Day OF Wellington were
her to meet them and take them into the
prospective oil fields Of Smith Valley the
next day. They went out yesterday in
an auto and made as thorough an exam-
ination as possible in that time.
While OF course Professor Anderson
would not give out what his report is to
be, that being first made to the depart
ment and by them published, yet his
manner Of conducting his investigation
and the trend of his questions made
those who were with him feel sure that
his report will be big boost for our oil
people. He also told Mr.. Edwards that
he would forward his report as rapidly as
he could so that il might reach us
through the proper channels at the
earliest possible moment

The Masonic district, which is two
years old and comprises an area two
miles square, is coming to the front
wonderfully of late. 1t has attracted the
attention of eastern capitalists for the
past two years. and Wingheld and Nixon
at one time had several pieces of property
bonded there at round figures but al
lowed their interests to lapse soon after
the recent panic and tried later to renew
the bond at even higher figures but were
unable to do so.
The Pittsburgh-Li Liberty property at
Masonic has developed into a good mine
and considerable high grade ore has been
shipped by it to California smelling COM
panies. V. c. Bernard and his associ-
ates from this city have recently sold
two claims in the Masonic district to
Boston people and company has been
formed which has already begun active
operations.
The first meeting of the stockholders
of the Boston Maseuic NJ. & M. Co. was
held in Carson City on the Sth inst.
The following directors and officers were
chosen G. r. Woodin of Boston, pres
ident; ]. Il. Sollenberger of Carson,
vice-president; A. NJ. Duncan of Carson,
secretary; II. r. Mighels, Carson, and
John G. Hecker, San Francisco. Mr..
Hecker is a prominent business man of
San Francisco and extensively interested
in mining, while Mr.. Woodin is one of
the best known Boston brokers.
The company has plenty of capital be-
hind it, being backed by Boston people,
and arrangements have already been
completed for developing the property
owned by the company in the Masonic
district. The work of exploiting will be
under the direction of c. r. Morris, who
has met with much success on the Ma
sonic Golden Cycle property.

The Carnival given by the Women's
Book Club at the rink last night was we'll
managed and we'll attended and every
one present had good time. The peo-
pie of our city realize the good that the
ladies of this Club are doing and like to
aid them as much as possible, especially
as the entertainments they give are al
ways worth more than the cost.
The Ladies' Aid met Wednesday at
the home of Senator and Mrs. B. II.
Reymers. After the usual routine OF
work had been completed the guests, 81
in number, adjourned to the spacious
dining room where the tables were fairly
overloaded with good things to eat.
Music and amusements of different
kinds were enjoyed by all and the day
passed all together too quickly. As the
guests were ready to depart three cheers
were given to the Senator. and all de-
clared Host and Hostess Reymers to be
royal entertainers.
One of the features of the evening at the
regular meeting of the Eastern Star was
the presentation to w. +. Powers and
bride of beautiful cut glass water set.
After the business had been completed,
Worthy Patron. Senator Reymers, in
vited Brother and Sister Powers to seats
in the East, and after few neat re-
marks appropriate to the occasion, hand
ed to the newly-wed couple as beautiful
water set as has ever been our good
luck to see. The present, from the en-
tire order, came as complete surprise,
and was highly appreciated. The East
ern Star surely knows how to do things
right.
The big ones are beginning to come
to Yerington. This week we were fav-
ored with a hurried visit by c. w. Whit
lev. general manager of the Western
Department of the American Smelling
and Refining company, known as the
Smelter Trust, accompanied by Geo. A.
Wilson, head of the expert staff of this
department This is Manager Whitley's
first visit to the district and it is so
much larger than he thought for that it
is his intention to return in the near fu-
ture and spend week examining the
various mines in our district. Mr.. Will
son has been here two or three times
and knows this to be the greatest copper
district in the world.

Electric Co. Changes Hands

The Truckee River General Electric
Co. has sold its plant to the California
Nevada Electric Power Co. The latter
company will have Offices at Carson and
take possession at once. The sale in
cludes the lines at Yerington, Reno,
Carson. Virginia and throughout this
entire section.
1t required 100000 to larry this
deal through and another million will be
spent to improve the plant and lines.
This will give MS an up-to-date system in
every way and be great benefit to pow
cruiser and light-user alike.
