NOT OBLIGED TO PURCHASE
PARTICULAR MAKE OF WATCH

Krenkel & Bosch, official watch in
spectors for the Southern Pacific, wish
to state that the article published in
the Nevada Forum, and reprinted in a
local paper, relating to railway em.
ployes being compelled to purchase a
certain watch, is without foundation in
fact. In speaking of the matter to a
representative of the Silver State
News, Mr.. E. NJ Bosch said:
While We are official watch inspect
ors for the Southern Pacific system, we
have not been instructed to compel or
advise railway employees to purchase
the Webb c. Ball or any other particu-
lar make of watch. All old watches
in good condition readily pass inspec-
tion, but in case it becomes necessary
for an employe to purchase a new time
piece, he is required to buy one con.
tanning a double roller escapement.
This is a new improvement that has
been adopted by nearly all watch man
ufacturers. As it does not add to the
cost of watch, purchasers simply get
that much more for their money!

TO ORGANIZE ATH.
LETIC CLUB

At a meeting to be held at their new
club rooms tonight, Is young men of
the town will perfect the organization
of an amateur athletic club.
The object of the organization will
be to promote clean amateur athletics.
The club will have nothing whatever to
do with professional prizefghting, but
will confine its efforts along boxing
lines to square amateur contests.
To start with the club will have an
up-to-date gymnasium and reading
room, but after it is fairly started it is
hoped to secure trainer and enlarge
the scope of the organization by having
steward and making the rooms acces-
sible at all times to members and their
friends.
There will be auxiliary baseball ami
gun clubs, which will be open to chal.
lenge by similar amateur clubs of the
state after the regular opening of che
baseball season.
The members of the new organization
wish it understood that all visiting
amateur clubs will be guaranteed a
square deal and courteous treatment.

CONDEMNATION SUIT IN
STITUTED BY ". P. CO.
D. PascdI'S Demand of $4,000 for Less Than Six
Acres, Which Cost Him About $40 Few
Years AGO, Considered Exorbitant

Suit was this day commenced by
the Western Pacific Railway company
against Desire and Nellie Pascal to
condemn about six acres of land in
sections l9 and 20, township 36 north,
range 3S east, for the pur-
pose of erecting permanent build
ings and establishing divi
sion terminal and depot grounds
at Winnemucca. The complaint AYERS
that the Western Pacific company has
selected, laid out and settled upon
Winnemucca as a division terminal,
and that the lands sought to be con-
demned are necessary for division ter
minal purposes.
The citizens committee has secured
options on all the land required by tn ,
w. p for its terminal with the ex-
ception of that involved in the Pascal
condemnation proceedings. 1t is hoped,
however, that this matter will be speed
lily disposed of, and that everything
will be settled in time for the company

SNOW DEPTH IN MOUNTAINS
AT CLOSE DECEMBER, 1905

In general the snowfall for the
month of December was slightly below
the normal over the Great Salt Lake
watershed, and the region drained by
the Green and Colorado rivers, and was
somewhat excessive over the Sewer
Lake Basin. At the close of the month
the depth of snow in the mountain dis
triets averaged from four to seven
feet. AS a rule, the snow in the noun.
tains was well drifted and packed, and
in consequence the prospect of plenti-
son is favorable.

was a former suitor for the hand OF
Goodwin s present wife, it is possible
that there is some color to the story.
Harry Mcmillan is well known in
xWinnemucca, and there is no fair
minded resident of this town who will
believe that he wilfully attempted TO
defraud the Reno gamblers, or that he
intended to "welch. - The president
of the bank on which the checks were
drawn testified at the preliminary ex-
animation that his bank had been in
the habit OF allowing Mcmillan and
other customers the privilege of over
drawing their accounts, without special
arrangement, but they had been
obliged to discontinue the practice, ow-
ing to the condition of the times, and
that Mcmillan had not been notified If
the banks change of policy.
Harry Mcmillan is known as duti-
full son and brother, who, when over
taken by good fortune, saw that his
mother and brothers and sisters were
well provided for. While somewhat
under the influence of drink, he over
played himself, intending to make
good, but was taken sick and was uu-
able to attend to the matter.
Owing to the fact that the legislature
is about to convene, and that there will
be strong effort made to have anti
gambling legislation enacted, it looks
as though the action of the Reno
gamblers was ill.advised.

is out of the ground.

At the last session of the board Of
county commissioners permission was
granted Nancy Brothers, the w. P. con-
tractors, to lay track on the streets
of Winnemucca to facilitate their con-
struction work. When seen by rep
resentative of the Silver State News to
day and asked when his firm would be-
gin operations in this vicinity, Mr..
John w. Nancy said:
"Our work in this vicinity is all
completed with the exception of the cut
just west of the cemetery. We shall
commence this work as soon as our
force has finished operations Is or 20
miles this side of Elko. We had ex-
pected to be through there by the 10th
of this month, but there has been some
unavoidable delay, and it will probably
be the Goth before we will be able to
bring the steam shovel and force of
men to Winnemucca.

HARRY M'MILLAk EXONERATED ON
CHARGE PASSING WORTHLESS CHECKS

The fore part of the week Harry
Mcmillan, a former resident of this
town, and now one of the best known
mining men on the coast, was arrested
at Goldfield, and taken to Reno. The
complaint was sworn to by a Reno
gambler named May, who claimed that
Mcmillan had passed worthless checks
at his place, amounting in the aggre
gate to $4,000. Mcmillan claimed. on
the other hand, that the checks were
given in settlement of losses at the
roulette wheel in the Golden hotel AT
Reno, and, knowing that he had not
sufficient funds in the bank to meet
the obligation, asked May to hold the
checks for few days, until he could
arrange to meet them. This May con-
sented to do, but Mcmillan was taken
sick and was unable to attend t.
business. The result was that the
checks were presented at the bank
and returned, marked IN. s. F.
which means "not sufficient funds >
Thereupon May swore to a complaint,
as above stated
Being taken to Reno, Mcmillan was
released on his own recognizance. At
lis preliminary examination yester-
lay, before Judge Lee Davis at Reno

Mcmillan claims that the notorious
gambler and actor, Nat Goodwin, was
behind the persecution. As Mcmillan

LATE News FROM
NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Sheldon s. Cline.)

WASHINGTON, JAN 5-Little or no
credence is given the widely circulated
story that DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the
government s chief chemist, will resign
from the department Of agriculture be-
cause of reported differences with the
president over the prosecution of the
pure food law. 1t may be said with
authority that DIR. Wiley has had no
differences with the president, nor does
the president desire the chief chemist
to recede one step from his uncomprom-
ising attitude toward all violators Of
the pure food and drugs act. To those
who have watched the effect of this
law since its passage two years ago, it
would act as great surprise if the
president let DR.. Wiley leave the fed
eral service for no other reason than
that a. trivial difference had disturbed
their harmonious relations. It would
seem that the president had at last sur
rendered to the interests which have
long sought to discredit DR.. Wiley be-
cause he has carried the brunt of the
fight waged by the department of ag-
riculture to expose criminal violations
of law whose effect is now regarde
as one of the greatest of public bless
ings.
The president and DR.. Wiley may be
said to represent extreme radicalism in
their desire to see this law upheld, not
only by the government but by the
food and drug manufacturers as well.
Both believe that the persons who
manufacture and sell foods known to
contain substances injurious to human
health are to be counted among 80
ciety's greatest enemies, and should be
dealt with accordingly. The penalties
provided by the present law are made
quate, in the opinion of both these men,
and it is not unlikely that DR.. Wiley
will recommend to the Taft administra-
tion that the law in certain respects be
amended to impose severer punishment
on its violators.

With the passing of Senator Joseph
Benson Foraker from public life on
March 4th next, the senate will lose
one of its greatest orators of recent
times. Ignoring the valuable service
the Ohio statesman has rendered as a
framer of legislation, the food of fine
oratory he has turned loose in that
august chamber would be sufficient to
stamp him in history as a man of hign
accomplishment. The very announce
ment that Senator Foraker intended to
speak on pending measure of public
question always served to fill the sem
ate galleries with his admirers, while
on the floor he always commanded the
respectful attention of his colleagues.
republicans and democrats alike.
Those who heard his burning words
IN calling on the American people TO
crush out the rule of Spain in Cuba
some ten years ago in the senate carry
a vivid memory of that occasion. He
spoke with the fire, enthusiasm and
determination Of man inspired, and
