Shops Of the NeDada Northern Railroad
Soon to Be Doubled In Size at Edst. Ely

The accompanying view is Of the
Nevada Northern shops at East Ely.
At present these shops are employ
ing q regular force. Of "a skilled me-
chanics. Within q short time ground
will be broken for an addition to the
structure which will double it in size
and enable the placing Of machinery
which will more than double the
present capacity for work. The plans
for this addition have been completed
and bids called for. The East Ely
shops as at present equipped do all
the work OF the Nevada Northern.
The amount Of this has grown in the
last year by reason of much increase
in the equipment of the road and
the greatly enlarged work it Is do
ing ON the r runs. and in the hond-
ling of the constantly growing
suburban business. The increase in
capacity of the shops became i'm
perative and is made to fill imme-
dat needs.

TWO new STATES
TO BE ADMITTED
ARIZONA AND new MEXICO WILL
PROBABLY Be ADMITTED TO
STATEHOOD This SESSION..

Washington, Jan. 16.-Arizona
and New Mexico are in fair way
to become full fledged states dur
ing the present session of congress.
1t was learned today that the
house committee on territories is
to take up the statehood measures
in the immediate future with the
object of reporting them to the
house as early as possible. 81
Conferences between members
of the territories committee and
leaders of the house have been
held frequently within the past
two weeks and the advocates of
statehood from both territories
have been active in a quiet way.
1t is believed that there will be no
attack on the capitol by the state
hood boomers and that they will
realize their ambitions without
any demonstration.

WAS BOUND OVER
TO DISTRICT COURT
ROBERT l. STEWART BOUND OVER
TO DISTRICT COURT ON CHARGE
OF RESISTING OFFICER.

Robert L. Stewart, the bri-
quette man, had his hearing last
week on the charge of resisting an
officer, and was bound over to the
district court by Justice Aaen.
Bonds were placed at $500. Mr..
Stewart was unable to secure
bonds until the day following the
hearing and as result he had to
spend short time with the sheriff.
Some time ago Deputy Sheriff
Poe and Justice Blankenship call
ed at the Stewart residence near
Springbrook for the purpose of
foreclosing chattle mortgage on
Stewards household furniture.
The boys came back without the
goods. When asked why, they
stated that Stewart met them with
a double barrled shotgun. Poe
later had q warrant sworn out for
Stewart on the charge of resisting
an officer and the hearing last week
was the result. Stewart claimed
on the stand that he only had a
stick which he used to poke the
fire, but Poe and Blankenship
both claimed it was = gun.

Last week The Outlook COM
mented editorially on the impera-
tive need for a National policy Of
waterway development. 1t hearth
ly indorsed the Recommendation
that waterway development should
be intrusted to an Executive
branch of the Government and
that it be carried on as the Rec
lamation Service is being carried
on, with consideration only for
National public policy and not for
special interests, sectional pride,
or for political fortunes Of indi-
vidual legislators. If such a plan
is to be adopted and our water
ways are to be comprehensiyely
developed, the work must be paid
for. In the past the Federal
Government has met the expense
of waterway development from its
regular current income, and so
long as this is possible without in
justice to other important func-
tions of the National Government
the method should be continued.
But with the rapid increase
in the necessary expenditures of
the National Government, which
is not kept pace with by the in
crease in receipts, it is difficult to
see how adequate provision can be
made from current revenue for
waterway Improvement.
Several proposals are made for

700 ENGINES
). in one ORDER
A LARGE BOAT BUILDER PLACES AN
INITIAL ORDER WHICH EXCEEDS
ANYTHING ON RECORD

Cleveland, o., JAM, l., 1909
The w. H. Mullins Co., of Salem,
o., manufacturers of pressed steel
boats, has just closed the largest
order on record for engines. This
order goes to the Ferro Machine
& Foundry Co., of Cleveland, and
includes 700 engines to be deliver
ed in, the next so days. Mr.. Mul-
Inns said in response to a question
that he was confident of splendid
volume of business and would no
doubt duplicate this order before
the first of May. These engines
go into boats of various sizes and
show the marvellous growth of the
power boat business.
The advent of the gasoline motor
has wrought the most extraordi-
nary development in general boat
ing, not only for pleasure launches
but also for small and large utility
boats. Ten years ago, motor
driven boats were as little thought
of, and even less, than the flying
machine is today. Where the sail
boat and row boat sports were in
dulged in very limitedly only in
localities where the best Of boat
ing facilities were afforded years
ago, today will find every lake and
river that is at all navigable, as
we'll as the coast waters, floating
its quota of powerboats of all de-
scrlptions, Even rowboats have
been made convertible by the de-
velopment of the small gasoline
motor, weighing less than the
average human being. Sailing, a
most exhilarating sport, has large
~ given way to motor boating and
the percentage of sailboats being
used today without gasoline en-
Rine in them for auxiliary power
is surprisingly small.

FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
NATIONAL WATERWAYS
WATERWAYS SHOULD Be IMPROVED AS They
WOULD AID IN GENERAL PROSPERITY AND
NATIONAL COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES

the issuances of boands for water
way development under an Execu-
tive Commission. One of them,
for instance, proposes that bond
issue be provided for, amounting
to half a billion dollars, $50, ,OOO,-
900 to be issued each year Tor ten
years. The proceeds of the sale
of these bonds would constitute q
permanent fund for the National
improvement of rivers and har-
bors. Such bond issue has one
Federal precedent; the Panama
Canal is being paid for in just this
way. But the plan has many pre-
cedents in other directions. The
State of New York has issued
$lO1, 900, 900 worth of bonds for
the enlargement of the Erie Canal;
the State of Illinois has just au-
thorized an issue of $50. .OOO, 900
worth of bonds for the partial con-
struction of a fourteen-foot chan
mel from Lake Michigan to the
Mississippi River at St. Louis.
New York has also authorized the,
issue of $50,OOO,OOO worth of:
bonds for the improvement of it's
highways. Municipal govern
ments are continually issuing
bonds for the development Of
parks, for the extension and i'm
provement of streets, and for the
construction of docks, transit.
lines, and water-supDly systems.
In private business, especially,
precedents abound. Railways,
manufacturing and other indus
trial corporations are continually
borrowingln money fof~tAe construc-
tion of permanent improvements
which will increase their assets.
Few commercial enterprises would
achieve commanding positions if
they waited to accomplish per-
manent improvements until cur
rent income had provided the re-
sources. Borrowing money for
the right kind of expenditure is
often better economy in the long
run than spending only what in
come of the moment would per-
nit. &. ~.A
1t is an imperative duty Of .
people to perserve the natural re-
sources of its country for the use
of posterity. But the PROPOSE
tion has a converse which is
worthy of serious consideration.
1t is not equitable that coming
generations snouid Dear their
share of the expense of the con-
servation of the resources which
are to be their heritage?
1t may be urged that precidents
should not be drawn from private
business, for the reason that i'm
proved rivers and harbors will not
be income-producing properties,
and well-managed commercial in
stitutions do not borrow money
for improvements which will not
yield a return. But waterway
development will yield great re-
turns in general prosperity and
National commercial advantage
,hings which are as truly National
assets as the stock of gold coin in
;he Treasury itself. In addition.
tshould be remembered that what
ever increases commercial pros
oerity and the volume of business
will increase the actual income of
;he Government through taxation.
Waterway development, if it is
'arried out on logical lines IS,
las not yet been done in this
'ountry-may be made to yield .
lirect income to the Treasury.
Che development of our rivers and
larbors cannot be successfully

SUPREME COURT DECISION
DIVIDES COUNTY OF WARD
FINDINGS SHOW THAT ONLY MAJORITY OF VOTES
ARE NECESSARY TO CARRY--BURKE COUNTY
Will. MAKE FIGHT.

Y, Grand Forks, n. D., Jan. 18. -
he supreme court today handed
lwn a decision declaring that
ie proposition of dividing Ward
unity and establishing the new
Lunty of Mountraile had carried
fin the recent election. The court
denies the application against i,
f. McCue as attorney and quashes
the writ of certiorari against the
secretary of state. In the decision
today the supreme court finds that
only majority of votes cast on
the given proposition is necessary
to carry such proposition. there
fore the Mountrail county propO-
sition has carried.
History Of Case.
In the spring of 1908, q petition
was presented to the county COM
missioners of Ward county pray
ing that the proposition of dividing
the county and erecting Mountraile
county out of the townships com
posing the southwest portion OF
Ward, which petition was refused
by the county commissioners be-
cause prior thereto the board had
Aanted q petition setting off the
north half of Ward county and
submitting the question of the Or
ganization thereof to the electors
as the county of Lake.
Mandamus was brought and
Judge Templeton called in to
determine the same and the deci-
sion was favorable to Mountraile
county and the proposition was
placed upon the ballots and sub
mitted at the general election in
November, 1908, at which time
there was cast in favor of Noun
traile county 4,2l5 votes, and
against 4, ,O30 votes being majori-
ty in favor of. Mountraile of l45
votes. "i
The canvassing board made its
return in accordance with these
facts and also showing that there
were cast for the Office Of COVER
nor at the same election 8,94l
votes and for county offices some
thing over 1900 votes, from which
it was argued that Mountraile
Eounty had received less than a
majority of all the votes cast at
the election.
On petition of Ward county, the
attorney general applied to the
chief justice for a writ of certiorari
directed to the secretary of state
and the auditor of Ward county
requiring these officials to certify
the record of the election to the
supreme court which writ was re-
turnabIe December 10, but was
adjurned for argument to Decem-
ber %, at which time Ward coun-
twas represented by the attorney
general and John E. Green of Mi
not as attorney, and Geo. A.
Bangs, on behalf of Mountraile
county, appeared for the secretary
" state and county auditor.
The decision handed down today
is against the Ward county con-
tention and in favor of Mountraile
county ana the supreme court
holds that to carry the county
proposition, there was required a
majority of the votes cast alone on
that proposition and that the votes
cast for other propositions or for
the nominees for the various Of
fees to be filed at such election is
not to be considered in determin-
ing whether or not the Mountraile
county proposition received a
majority of the votes cast.
No further action is now needed
save by the governor in appoint
ing the county officers, ect. It is
