C, L. Lewis, superintendent of the
Postal Telegraph and Cable company,
whose headquarters are in Los An
gelcs, arrived in this city yesterday
ana was in conference with F. G..
Waterhouse, general manager of the
Southern Nevada Consolidated Tele-
phone and Telegraph company.
The Postal Telegraph Gable COM
pany has its wires strung more than
two-thirds around the world. It has
the only cable across the Pacific
touching all points in the orient. The
remarkable fact exists that this was
constructed without dollar of sub
sidy from the government. Mr.. Clar-
ence Mackay, who visited this section
a little over year ago, went over the
ground and stated at that time that
the Postal would be built into the
state. The business depression of last
fall was partially responsible for the
calling of halt in the projected en-
terprise. In a measure the construc-
tion by Mr.. Mackay of line into the
state is one of sentiment, but he has
absolute confidence in the develop
ment of the states vast mineral re-
sources and that it will ultimately
mean the transaction of large
volume of business for his company
Nevada is the last state to be entered
by the company, its system penetrat-

ing every other one in the United
States
The Southern Nevada Consolidated
Telephones and Telegraph company,
over which the Postal will operate,
has over 500 miles of lines construct
ed, reaching every city, town and
hamlet in southern Nevada. Mr..
Waterhouse is responsible for the
statement that his company will build
to Reno by way of Rawhide, Yering-
ton and Carson BY that time the
Postal will have direct connection
from San Francisco to Salt Lake.
This means that telephone communi-
cations can be had either with San
Francisco or Salt Lake and inter-
mediate points.
The route taken by the Postal tele-
graph will be over the Southern Pa
cif1c from Los Angeles to Mojave, the
Santa Fe to Ludlow. the Tonopah and
Tidewater from Ludlow to Beatty,
where the wires of the Southern Ne
vada Consolidated Telephones and
Telegraph company will be used over
the southern portion of this state.
Mr.. F. G. Waterhouse has made
several trips to the east and west
coast on matters in connection with
this enterprise and it is due to his
tireless energy in great measure
that the scheme which is about to be
consumated was carried to a success

BRYAN'S JACKASS
|. A SMOOTH ARTICLE
(By Associated Press.)


FAIRvIEW, Aug. 19.--The advent
today of trick mule presented to
Bryan by the Minnesota State Agri-
cultural society was made memorable
by an accident which occurred during
the afternoon in which the mule and
an eastern newspaper correspondent
were the central figures. When the
announcement was first made of the
fact that the animal had been pre-
sented, this particular correspondent
served notice that he would be the
first to ride him. Today the oppor-
tunity came with the result that the
correspondent tonight is nursing a
sore head, badly bruised leg because
of his being hurled into the air by
the mule, which had been trained to
permit no one to ride him. Bryan
witnessed the proceeding and exhib-
tied great deal of feeling for the
injured newspaper writer. The mule
was taken back into stable. There
is every likelihood that he will not
be permitted to display any more OF
his talents The day otherwise was
without incident.
When Bryan starts on his ten days
trip tomorrow night he will have
completed nearly all Of the sci
speeches he will make during that
time.

died few months later Her death
occurred Feb. %. and since that time

The children are 13, 10 and 6 years
old, respectively, and were taken care
of by the neighbors for some time.
The local BARRIERS also shouldered the
burden of looking after them and gave
them relief for some time after they
were deserted
In the meantime it was discovered
that the father was in Denver and an
effort was made to interest the au-
thorities in his apprehension The
excuse was given that there was not
enough money to pay the cost of hav-
ing him returned, but the BARRIERS
finally prevailed on Prosecuting At

send for the fugitive
When he is brought back to Ham

with which to prosecute him and it is
understood that he will be given the

The condition of his little daughters
was pitiful until they were finally
taken care of by the BARRIERS and the

members of the local union who took
the responsibility of supporting them
upon themselves.
