CITY IS GROWING
At A RAPID RATE
Canvass Made Last Fall and Com
pared With Present Results Shows
an Increase of % Per Cent. in the
Number of Inhabitants, Just as
Promoters Predicted.

The first authoritative census taken
of Gary. which is now practically com
pleted, will show the steel city to OBJ
tain about 10000 souls. This enumer-
alton is now being made by the Lake
County Directory company Of which z.
L. Fitzgerald of this city is president.
The work was done as accurately as
possible under the circumstances.
The taking of the census of the city
is not yet entirely complete but there
is little territory yet to be covered. and
the estimate of 10000 for the popula-
ton is so close that the actual figures
are not likely to vary from this more
The population of the city has been
guessed at by residents of the city and
strangers at anywhere from ten to if
teen thousand people. This is due to
the fact that so many men are en-
ployed in the mills and in construc-
ton work, and it is not taken into con-
sideration that large number of them
reside out of the city. The estimate of
twelve thousand people has been con-
sidered conservative.
Increases 2.57O In Few Months.
A census of the city was taken about
eight months ago by the Gary Direc-
tory company. but their figures were
largely guess work, as only the names
of those over IS years of age were
taken. The estimate made of the popu-
lation of the city by these people at
that period was about eight thous-
and. five hundred, and this was prob
ably correct to within three to four
hundred.
Taking these two figures as a basis
therefor, it will be seen that the popu-
lation of Gary has increased two
thousand in the past eight months. or
an increase of 25 per cent. The pro-
gress therefore, has been in keeping
with the hopes held out by the bust
ness men and the promoters of the city
and if the growth continues in this
matter. it is hard to deny that Gary
| is destined to be q city of over 100 600
people, as it has often been prophesied

Peace be unto thee,

With outstretched hands the Rev.
DR.. .oakum thus began his address
this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the
Methodist Episcopal church, which
was crowded to the doors by people
who, beside the local citizens, had
come from far and near to hear the
man whose coming had been the all
absorbing topic for many days past.
Full may a cripple gathered within
the walls of that sacred edifice-many
who had long since given up all
hope of ever being curel. Full many
of them left the house of God clearly
cOnsciouSe of having been greatly
benefited. From among the audience
there arose an apparently helpless
cripple, who painfully hobbled to the
station before the altar The sceptic
GRAINED his neck to watch. True +
is that that same man walked from
the presence of DR.. YOakum, after
the latter had prayed for him and
annointed him, without the aid of his
crutches. A child carried before the
Doctor in it's mothers arms was able
to return unaSSiSted
Other cases might be cited but the
lateness of the hour precludes men
ton at this time. DR.. Yoakum has
come and up to this time the work
of the Divine Providence through
him ha~ ad its wonderful effects.
Scarce had he alighted from the
train than he was called TO see Mrs
M. c. Gardner. who for over a veal
has been unable to use her limbs.

NEW CLUB is
ASSURED
Prof. BrannOn Now Completing
Final Arrangements
For Its Opening

Prof. Brannon is still working on
his athletic club and states that by
the end of next week he will be able
to state what time the club will be
formed. He has received a large
number of applications for member
ship and will start off with more
than 100 members. At the present
time he is preparing and arranging
for the apparatus that will be used
and will have everything in readiness
when the time comes.
A great deal of interest is mani
tested in the club and it is one of the
best things that has been sprung In
this city for many years At one
time Carson City supported an ex-
cellent club and had as fine club
rooms as could be found anywhere.
For some fault or another it was
abandoned a few years ago and since
that time this city has been without
a club of this sort.
The ability of Prof. Brannon as an
athletic trainer is we'll known and
there is no reason why this city can
not have as fine a club as can be
found anywhere if the young people
of Carson City will take the interest
they should.

.CARSONITES
ARE LUCKY
Holders of Western Exploration
Co. Stock Will Get
A Dividend

During the early boom days of
Goldfield Will Dwyer and Frank Mus
ser. both well-known in this section,
organized what was known as the
Western Exploration Company and
the stock of the corporation was
placed on the market. The stock
went fast and a large block of it was
sold to various friends of the two men
in this city.
/ The company prospered for awhile
but when the panic came in 1907 il
went to the wall with many of the
other corporations that had been
formed and fioated in the southern
mining districts.
Musser who was the prime mover
in the company. remained in Goldfield
until he saw there was no chance to
recuperate the company from its loss,
es by the general slump. and then
migrated into the mining districts OF
California
! Finally. landing at French Gulch,
in Shasta County, Musser secured an
option on the Milkmaid group of
claims in the name of the former
Goldfeld corporation and went to
work on the property. Holders OF
stock in the Western Exploration
Company were told that if the Cali
fornia property made good that all
might yet be well. Nothing much
was thought of the chance of getting
any of their money back and the com,
the while Musser and his associates
were developing the French Gulch
property and now comes the news
that after months of work tie big
thing happened-good ore was found
and lot of it and Musser has turned
a deaf whereby the company nets
100000 in real money.
Dispatches from that section of the
state say that the mine has every
promise of being a great producer and
French Gulch has been the scene OF
some big deals in the past All kinds
of celebrations have been held. wine
flowed like water" said one dispatch.
and the camp took on the appearance
of the days of the pioneers when gold
was more plentiful than bacon.
But this is not the best feature of
the affair. Holders of the stock in
the supposed defunct Western EXplof
alton Company in this city have re-
ceived word thtat they will get the:l
pro rata of the $500 900 AMI several of
our residents will get a big bunch oi
money as a result.
Charlie Sue. the weil-known Chi
nese cook of this city, had charge of
the boarding house there last sum

TO TAG FLOAT ROCK
FERTILIZER COMPANIES MUST REGISTER THE PHOSPHATE
 ROCK
Commissioner Wilkinson States That the Rock Is Being Sold In Large | Quantities To the Farmers This Year.

On account of the large quantities of ph osphate rock. which is being shipped into the State and sold di- rectly to the farmer as fertilizer, State Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Will kinson stated yesterday that in the future. no phosphate rock, could be sold without the customary registra- tion and tags.
 It is stated that the phosphate rock. commonly known as float" contains but little fertilizer, until 1t has passed through the processes of the fertilizer works, but that 1t is being sold in large quantities to the farmers this season. Last year this was not the case. and the department did not re- quire registration.
 Commissioner Wilkinson stated yes- terday that registration would be re- quired in the future. When the rock is shipped to the mixers directly 1t will not be necessary but when. sold by itself as fertilizer to the farmer, it must be.
 Unless 1t Is enforced" said the Commissioner, "our farmers are liable to suffer by being imposed upon"
 The Commissioner will leave Monday for tour of lectures in the Northern counties of the State. He reports that his trip during the past week in West Alabama was most successful. That the farmers of the varioug counties visited were eager to form themselves into associations to further the scien- tific cultivation of the farm by the boys, and that the more extensive cul- tivation of corn was being agitated on all sides.

TRANsCoNTINENTAL RATES. i,
Freight Reductions Agreed
 nxr n


 Chicago, Feb. 27.-Important reduc' tions from the new schedules of trans' continental freight rates which have been in effect since January 1, have been agreed upon by the railroads, &C., cording to an announcement made last night following the adjourning of the conference of the railroad officials who have been in session here since Jan- uary 2S.
 The concessions are in most cases a restoration of the old rates in effect before the first of the year and amount to from three to twenty-five per cent. on large numbers of the commodities.
 The increases made on January and the reductions announced affect both eastbound and westbound rates. Ship pers in California and on the coast were more affected than the eastern territory. Some of the principal re- auctions are of interest to Chicago and the central States.
