PROMOTION
MATTERS

The Carson CITY promotion AsSO-
citation met last night at the usual
place and the Ormsby county legis-
lative delegation was present.
Matters of interest to this county
and to the state were gone over and
q plan of procedure was adopted.
This county is to be bonded for $40,-
900, ii the Association can bring such
a consummation about. The money is
needed for general improvements aud
none is to be used for salaries of
county officers. Some will be used
to retire the agricultural bonds and
such retirement will reduce the tax
levy cents per hundred. If there
were no other good reason for bond
ing the county, this, it is held would
be sufficient.
1t seems, from information private
and Otherwise, that the telegram sent
by the association asking the congres
sional delegation to see that the Stew
art Institute is maintained, has borne
fruit and that plans for its abandon
ment have been given up. This is an
important matter and the quick act
ion had in the matter is attributed to
the gentlemen who formed the Asso-
citation and took the action mentioned.
The practice in the legislature has
been to make no opposition to meas
ure purely local as is this, when the
county delegation recommends it, as
viii the Ormsby delegation Other
matters pertinent to the general i'm
provcment of the city and county
were talked over at the meeting last
night and will be acted upon in due
time.
The president requests The Appeal
to ask every person interested in the
city and county welfare to join the
Association that a full expression of
opinion may be had on all matter.
The county commissioners have
been sounding the heavy tax payer on
the proposition and several of them
have promised their hearty support
while all have promised no opposition
to the plan.
The county commissioners will meet
the first Monday in February, which
Is the first day of the month and
will pass the necessary resolution.
The bill will have been prepared by
that time and upon its passage, the
bonds will be prepared and marketed.
There are many inquiries already for
the issue, which will be at four per
cent. The money should be available
before March first and will be expend-
ed upon roads streets and general i'm
prOvcments.

horses and by some quick work eX.

RAMM
MAY HEAD
UNIVERSITY

A report that gains circulation every
day and strength all the time, is
that Father Ramm is to be called to
take the presidency of the State Uni
versity
No one seems to know just where
the report started and none seems
to know when the change is to be
made.
Dr.Stubbs, the present president,
from ali accounts, is slated for re-
moval for several reasons. Many
persons declare that he has outlived
his usefulness as president of the
Nevada State University and that he
has SO altered the spirit Of the insti-
tuition that it has become little more
than large high school, that in fact
it is not much better than a right
good high school.
Others declare that the activity of
Stubs in political matters has i'm
paired his usefulness and has an
tagonized a large proportion of the
supporters Of the institution.
The Mackey gift, a mining school,
has placed the institution and the
state under obligations to make the
very best use of the institution posi-
bic and many declare this is not be-
ing done.
AS far as can be learned Stubbs
has not yet been asked to resign and
the report that Father Ramm is to
be retained as presidents premature
at least. For the first time in years,
the University push is without a
solid supporting delegation from
Washoe and as the Board of Visitors
is clamoring for reform in the Uni
versity it is more than probable there
will be some changes in the near fu-
ture.
One member Of the legislature pro-
poses to make as a condition of grant
ing the University an increased ap-
preparation, the removal of DR.. Stubbs
and several of his satellites from the
sphere of what he calls their "unuse'
on University hill.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-With
railroad traffic virtually suspended on
some lines, train schedules badly de-
moralized on other roads, telegraph
and telephone wires prostrated and
communications only fitfully main

Joaquin and Sacramento valleys vast
inlet, California has within the last
storms in a quarter Of a century, COW
ering an area that extended from the
Oregon coast to San Diego. At var
iOus places the rain at times reached
the proportions of clOudburst and
was accompanied by fierce gale.

district forecaster predicts showers

morrow and the crest Of the storm

swollen to the proportion of rivers

Stockton Under Water
The most serious situation exists at
Stockton, on the San Joaquin, where
the suburbs of the city have been in
undated and the encrOaching waters
are beginning to enter the business
night the high water will equal the
food Of two years ago when the
streets of Stockton had to be navigat-
ed by boats. The loss to the merch-
ants in that city, many of whom did
not have time to remove their goods
from easements, will be heavy. The
around Stockton is a vast sea of yei-
lowish, muddy water. Railroad traffic
is still being maintainde but may have
to be suspended before morning.

FOR STATE REFORM
AND TRADE SCHOOL
IN WASHOE COUNTY

WashOe county intends to put in
bill for state industrial and reform
school to be located at Sparks.
1t is contended by the Washoe
delegation that Sparks is the ideal
place for such an institution as the
large shops there can be used as q
training school for the boys in almost
every branch of the construction
trades.
Sparks has already half promised
the required land for such an in
stitution and if present plans carry
a bill will be introduced at an early
day for such an institution.
That the state needs some sort
of an institution for the correction
ton in PRISONS with adult criminals,
is not questioned. At present there
is a movement on foot to pass a juve-
nile court law, similar to that recon-
mended by Judge Ben Lindsay. Such
a law carries with it a provision for
Juvenile courts and for special places
of confinement for Juveniles. An in
dustrial school to which youthful Of
tenders might be sent to learn use
fui trade will supplement any juve-
nile court law passed. Many states
have such laws but few have the
supporting institutions, other than
straight reform schools, which are
an abomination upon the face of the
earth.

1.-THE SAGEBRUSH SAINT"

Many of the visitors to the capitol
get into the Sagebrush Club and every
one that goes there begins, in less
than five minutes, to ask who "Nobe'
is?
"Nobe", the "Sagebrush Saint, is
eighty years young. He came to this
city half a century ago and has watch
ed most of the members Of the Sage
brush Club grow out Of short pants
and take hold of affairs of city, coun-
ty and state.
When the Sagebrush Club stewards
needed a man to take charge Of the
club the Saint happened to walk past
the door and was called in to talk
things over. He knew so we'll what
was needed that he was retained on
the spot. He is probably the only
club steward in the country who ad
dresses the members by their first
name, and if he did not do so most
of them would feel slighted. And as
to his fame as a mixoligist,-ask any
body.
Also his name, his real name, is
Jefferson, but no one calls him that.

JUDGE HIS OWN ALlENISr.
"Find End of Your Nose with Your
Eyes Shut" His Test of Sanity.

New York-An unusual physical
test as an index TO ones sanity was
introduced by police magistrate
when Mrs. Harriet R. Berry, a trained
nurse, was brought to court on phy-
sician's application that inquiry be
made into her mental condition.
"Close your eyes, madam, and
touch the end of your nose with the
index finger of your right hand" de-
manded the magistrate.
1t was only after several attempts
that Mrs. Berry succeeded, and the
court ruled that the result of the test
was sufficient to warrant her commit
tai to Bellevue for observation.
Her case is said to be one Of per
secutory delusion." She thought q
friend had sold the manuscript of her
book, THE Design of Life" to Presi-
