ficials will pass this session, but that
it will be amended to go into effect
two years hence.
Nye county division will come up
in the senate probably tomorrow.
Tallman has agreed to allow the
measure to be amended to give the
people chance to vote on it two
years hence. However, Nye has it's
laurels in danger, for White Pine,
the new county of Clark and Lander
county are now making efforts to get
a slice of the disputed territory. If
Nye is too large, they argue, give
small sections of it to it's neighbors
and thus cut out any possibility of
bitter sectional feeling How the
matter will end is problematical at
this time.
There is still a mountain of work
before the legislature and only by
hard work can the present bills be
acted upon before the day of ad-
jcurnment. Gallagher of Rawhide
threatens further delay by stating
that he is going to introduce a reso-
luton asking both houses to adjourn
over for one day on March II. 1t is
believed that this resolution, to-
gether with Smaill's bachelor bill
will be promptly tabled when they
appear for final action.

displeasure. 1t is now believed the
bill will pass in it's present form at
least.
The investigation of the state bank
commissioners is attracting much
notice, for it is generally conceded
that under present conditions nothing
will come of it. Senator Boyd of
Washoe county, personally a friend
of both Ryan and Douglass. Sena-
tor Eastin of Lander is not very
much posted on banking affairs.
From the assembly Charles Kane of
Rhyolite, Brooks of Esmeralda and
Brandon of Humboldt complete the
committee. Kane stated today that
no matter who will be incriminated
he will not be party to any white
wash proceedings and as one of the
committee he will insist upon a full
public investigation. 1t is more than
possible that he will be supported in
this stand by both Brooks and Bran
don. But little time remains for the
committee to complete it's work this
session and unless special means are
placed at the disposal of the commit
tee to carry on it's work it is prob
able that the investigation will end
without result with the arrival or ad-

The Way He Helped the Housemaid
Repei the Burglars.
A good story is told at the expense
of a constable in rural England, says
writer in the London Telegraph.
Not long. ago young and pretty
housemaid arrived at the big house OF
the neighborhood, and it was observed
that our friends beat often took him
in that direction. At first she seemed
to resi- Mt his advances. but suddenly
she changed altogether, and the course
of true love appeared to run smooth
for a time.
One night he called rather later than
usual 1t was dark, and his fair one
greeted him somewhat coolly. he
thought.
His doubts, however, disappeared
when she suddenly declared that she
would take him into her confidence
She had overheard the particulars OF
a plot to break into the house and
steal the plate.
"Now, JIM she said, here's
chance for promotion. The burglars
knew where the plate was kept. so
we've shifted it. What l want you to
do is to get into the plate cupboard
and wait till they come and open the
door Then you'll have 'em."
Jim jumped at the chance and half
an hour later was concealed In the
cupboard The burglars came, as ex
pected, and promptly got to work.
The constable chuckled to himself as
he heard the muffled whir Of tool on
the outside of the cupboard door. and
he grasped his staff and waited.
After some minutes waiting he re-
solved to take a cautious peep. But
the door was fast. securely screwed or
the outside by the burglars.
When Jim eventually reused the
house and was released from his pris
on the burglars and plate, together
with the pretty housemaid "a confeder
ate), had disappeared. Moreover. the
constable's position took a good deal

Senator LaFOllette

Senator LaFollette an
nOunces in the Senate that
he is a great civil service re-
former. Mr.. LaF'Ollette is
sublimely unconscious of
the exposure at Madison of
the manner in which he de-
bauched the state machinery
to perpetuate his political
power, not only compelling
the game wardens to pro
mote his interests but pay
ing their expenses out the
state treas ury.- News &
Itemizer.
The above is as untrue in it's
last particular as it is true in it's
first. LaFollette has always
been civil service reformer,
and no better evidence of it was
presented, then when he was
governor That be debauched
the state game warden depart
ment and told the officials
to charge their expenses, while
engaged in political work, to the
state, is untrue, and there is no
evidence of it anywhere, except
in the above paper. Of course it
is hard for a stalwart to see any
thing wrong and not blame La
Toilette for it. The investiga-
ton of the Senatorial Primary
has brought out some startling
facts, and one of these is that
during the incumbency of Gov
ernor LaFollette. the game ward
ems were more or less active in
politics, but not one single scrap
of evidence has been presented
to show that LaFollette ever or
dered the game wardens to do
political work. Neither did he
accept contributions from the
Game Wardens even to the
amount of $4,000 and then offer
to pay it back when he was
caught at it. Every great man
is villified. and lied about and it
is perhaps part of the training
for greater thoughts and greater
deeds.

A PROPOSITION was presented
to the council recently by Ken
and Lamoreaux seeking to change
the present route of the road
leading to Ashland from it's pre-
sent location to a more feasible
and direct one. Tie present
road runs through the yard of
Kenfeld & Lamoreaux box fac
tory, close to the mills and manu-
featuring plants of the firm.
There is a great deal of traffic on
this road, and it has become a
nuisance both to the farmers
who for the most part use the
road and for the workmen of the
above firm. There is also a great
deal of switching on the tracks
at the plant so that this inter
fers with traffic. Many of the
farmers who use the road are in
favor of the proposed change.
The purpose is to change the
road so that going out of the city
one would continue on the street
running due west fro m the HUI
bert House until the box factory
has been passed and then turn
ing south until the present road
is joined near the little creek
south of the factory. The route
is a feasible and is no longer
than the present one. The pro-
position presented to the Coun-
Gil should be acted upon by the
Council committee so that the
present difficulties may be over
come. Kenfeld & Lamoreaux
who own the land upon which
the proposed road will run offer
to donate a right of way provided
the present road is abandoned.
1t is a fair proposition.

HuYTaOr and
Philosophy
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH
PUBLICITY.

The actor man you cannot judge
By what the showbills say
Or by the way his name appears
In gorgeous red display.
He may not be the grandest scout
That ever held a spear,
But still they must announce him so
To make the crowds appear.
Upon the stage he may not act,
Like others Of his type,
For sour apples or, indeed,
For lemons hardly ripe,
But would you. ask him to admit
In his advance advice
That he was nothing but dub,
Not worth the published price?
Advance announcements, as you know,
Are but self made puff,
And you may gamble that 1t will
Be stated strong enough,
For chronic modesty is not
In this enlightened day
The ruling passion of the man
Who figures in the play.
And does he differ very much
From those who do not act
Although in more aggressive tones
He may proclaim the fact?
You'll find that men are much the same,
Though from the stage affair."
Just let the others get your ear
To tell you who they are.
