ments and there We're no others to
see. the board this morning award
ed the contract to the Young COM
pany for the Springfield roller.
the plow and the road grading mach
inc at a net cost of $4041.45.
Some of the disappointed bidders
have taken the pains to make a loud
holler about the whole matter of pur-
scure weekly paper printed in Reno.
Several statements as of fact in this
article are denied as statements of
fact by those conversant with tae
matter, and the fact that the an
thor of the statements, w. T. Butler,
bid for the IrOpuOis machine 5000
more than another company for the
same machine caused his lament to
be received with very little consid-
Grafton. :,
1t has since been learned that But
Ter would nave been compelled to let
out his contract if he had secured it,
which places his company in the light
of bidder without ability to fill the
contract without the assistance Of
cOllusiOn.
AS matter of fact the county COM
missioners wanted the best machine
they could get and the Kelly Spring
field filled this requirement SO that
the advertisement for bids was SIM
ply compliance of the law, the in
tention being to secure machine
that will last many years and do the
hard work required in making Orms-
by county roads model for all 9TH
ar counties in the state to follow.
The commissioners intend to get
to work at once and build turn piked
and oiled roads in four directions
from Carson City, the center of the
county. In tnis work they are sup
ported by the tax payers OF the cOuD-
ty who have noted the increase in
business to this county that has come
from the reconstructed road up Kings
Canyon this year. This one example
has been an eye opener and when
the commissioners are through with
the work there will be good roads
across the county in both directions.

SAYS HE WAS NO ACCOUNT

Judge Goodwin, in the Salt Lake
Telegram, has the following 10 say
about Nevada's first representative
in congress:
speaking OF Mr.. WorthingtOn, he
nev1r was a great man or 4 great
lawyer. He was sent to congress
from Nevada more as a joke than
anything else, because with the law
yers then in that state he could no:
make a living by his profession. For
the last forty years OF his life, until
he finally received 4 small office, he
lived on what fees he could pick up
from people who wanted business
looked after in the departments or
who wanted the services of a lawyer
in any capacity in Washington. He
was a kindly, genial man, but he was
not adapted to any one thing through
which men obtain livlihOOd."

MAY RACE IN
THIS CITY

There is a good chance to get a
racing meeting for Carson City be-
tween September and 10, and 1t Is
up to Carson City to say whether ii
is wanted or not.
w. n. Murray Il we'll known mama
ger of racing meetings, will hold a
- day meeting at Reno beginning
August Il.
His next date is Ogden, but be-
tween Reno and Ogden dates are ov-
er seven days in which the horses
that appear at Reno will have moth
ing to do but eat their heads off.
The directors of the Nevada Jock
ey Club, under whose auspices the
meeting at Reno is being held. are
inclined to favor the meeting in Car
sOn City and two or three of them,
as well as the secretary, w. ID. Phil
lips. will be glad to assist Carson City
in securing three or four days OF
racing here.
1t is up now to Carson City. If the
sports and business men OF the capi-
tai City want a race meeting. all they
have TO go is to get together and
say so, fix up the track al an expense
of not over 500 and tender it and
stable room to the horsemcn at the
Reno meeting. 1t is believed they
will jump at the chance 10 fill their
open dates.

VIM. CRESSIN'S
APPOINTMENT

Newspapers throughout the state
are yelling about the appointment OF
VIM. Crosson of Nevada To be secre-
tary OF the legation at Lima. Peru,
and are asking where and what and
who he came from and is.
The gentleman in question is said
to be William Cressin, friend OF
George NiXon's, made in Washington,
ID. c. He has aspired to an appoint
ment in the diplomatic service fol
years but was Il resident OF no state
and was unconsidered. He met NiX-
on and later went TO Elko county
where he bought small ranch and
a house in Elko. He remained on
the ranch for several months, acquir-
ed a voting residence and then hik-
ed back to Washington and applied
for an appointment To the Spanish
legation at Madrid. AS this was 4
little strong for Il man of his calibre
and from Nevada he was given an
appointment to Peru which he has
accepted.
As far as being a Nevada man, he
is about as much of Nevada man
as was Lorrin Andrews. He had no
extra qualifications for the job he
has landed and through Nixon has
worked the sovereign state of Nevada
for his appointment. Though his ap-
pontment has been made for several
days, no republican paper has chort-
led with glee over it. There are a
good many men in this state who
might have filled the place with
credit and honor to the state, with
the added qualifications of having
come from Nevada where they lived
for many years
Such a little trick as this appoint,
ment must be very pleasing to sup
porters of Nixon like Charlie Nor
cross, who might have fillel the place
well, to Ed. Vanderlieth, who has
never been given anything for his
work of years, to Oscar Morgan, who
went to Washington expressly to grab
off a similar appointment. to Barney
Moran, who was promised a similar
job IL he would lie down and be good,
to George Russell or Charlie Hender-
son or Charlie Levers, or Maurice
Mack, or half dozen others who
have inundated themselves on the
altar OF the G. o. p. for 10 these
many years.
The only reason none of them got
the place was because they are fool
ish enough to live In Nevada, and to

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

Speaker Cannon and Senator Aidrich. with their associates in the control of the House and Senate have written the new tarinf bill. and the bill that is passed will be the sort of bill they want and no other. There need be no illusion about tariff legislation.
 There never was Republican tariff bill framed in the interest of the con- sumer. and there never will be until the Republicans shall have been chastened by a wholesome defeat. The protected interests will get what they want in practically all cases, but if they fail fin a few instances, 1t will be because the Republican leaders do not deem it advisable to meet all their high protective demands. Notwith- standing the declarations. denuncia- tions and beating of tom-toms. that ac- companied the so called Insurgents" fight on Cannon, he won his fight and he will run the House as he has in the past. This means that he will run it as he pleases.
 The Republicans, if they had been in earnest. had a chance to unite with the Democratic majority and win freedom from the tyranny of the House rules. They had. too. the chance to enact some definite and valuable tariff legis- lation. But beyond making a noise they did nothing. Unfortunately enough Democrats kicked over the party traces to counteract any aid that came from the insurgent Republi- cans.
 Now Cannon and his cohorts are in charge. The tariff bill may do better by the consumer than the Dingley bill, but this is doubtful. The protected manufacturer. is as powerful in Con- gress. as he ever was. More free raw materials will be given, because the manufacturer needs them. It may be possible that the shrewd and scheming Republican majority may see fit to discipline some parts of their country by Juggling with the tariff in order to hamper or embarrass their industries, and in doing this 1t may actually lower some schedules. but the country need expect no radical tariff reform. It has only to look at those in power to know that such expectations will be futile.

A PLACE rOR TT.

Its . fine thing to find a use for anything when you have no use for 1t. We mean that when you have no use for a thing 1t is good to have use for 1t. Hang it! We mean that when thing or an article is no longer of use or service in the position 1t has oc- cupied 1t Is we'll if it can be put into service somewhere else. That's what we mean. we guess.
 There is a sixteen-inch cannon which has been dismounted or unmounted at Sandy Hook and Is now lying useless and in the way. It Is not considered necessary to keep 1t ready for service, though we are not apprised of the reas- ons for it's disuse. Perhaps the Sandy Rockers don't think they need any, thing of that kind in their business at present. or it may be that they are to have something better and more mod ern guns. small and large, as well as warships and other unpeaceful things changed with the discoveries. inven- tions and whims of the age and the old gives place to the new. If 1t were otherwise there would be little use of trying to better things.
 As to the disposition of the out-of- date noise-maker. we are told by the Army and Navy Journal that 'it Is to be sent to the Philippines and mount ed on the Notifications now under con- struction at Corregidor Island for the defense of Manila. This gun would command the channel there, which the tweive-inch gun will not do, and it can deliver a blow at a distance of 10000 to 12.000 feet which would sink any ship afloat, racking the steel frame and armour bearing of the ship and starting a leak. With the marks- manship of the Coast Artillery, the power and range of such a gun wsxild be gigantic. The objection to the use of the gun bigger than .twelve-inch is that it cannot deliver its fire as rapid- ly. owing to the difficulty of loading. There is limit to the power of men to load big guns and so the twelve inch gun may be more to be dreaded than the larger one. Yet 1t would seem that at such a place as corresi- dor one or two big guns would be use- full"
 That would seem to settle 1t very nicely. Such gun as that will not only be of service in protecting the town and coast from an enemys ships but the roar of it may have good ef- feet on the savages in the woods there about. We have heard 1t said that the roar of big gun has tendency to make the turbulent Fillipinos be good, and in that way this sixteen-inch lum- berer may be of real service over there, even if 1t never kills anybody.

AMERICAN TARIFF LAWS
 YN..T The CIay Compromise
By Frederic J. Haskin.

It's. which were secured by bonds, were comparatively small. The du- ties collected between 17ss an 1886 amounted to S7sl.ooo.o0o. yet the los ses were less than Ss.0oo.000. But there was always danger of large Jos- ses. and the consumer objected to having to pay the tax, so 1t was de- cided to- require cash payments after 1s42.
 Things went pretty well under the Clay Compromise for some years. Then came that era of speculation the panic of 1887. If we are to be- lieve such statesmen as Clay and Webster. that panic was brought about by the over-straining of cred Its. just as the one of 1907 was pre- cipitated. At the same time, there was much high finance played by the government which helped along the financial disturbance. There were some people then. as there are now, who believed that the lowering of the tariH under the Clay Compromise was responsible for 1t. In this con- nectton 1t Is interesting to note that up to this time the reductions of the tarin had amounted to but very lit- tie. and would amount to but little moro in the next two years. Taking the whole of the fiscal year of 1887, 1t amounted to but SIX percent as com pared with the Act of 1892. At the time of the convufsion of 1887 only two-tenths of the excess of duties over 20 percent had been taken off
 After the first flush of the panic 1t was proposed to change the tariff as provided under the Clay Compro- mise. MT. Clay promptly declared that he shoud oppose, 'so far as my voice and vote can go. this disturb ance of the compromise arrangement, made in March. 1888. under which the country has flourished to an unparal- leled degree" Daniel Webster had fought the Compromise with might and main. and had utterly rejected the doctrine that 1t was even moral ly binding upon future Congresses. It is therefore not without signifi- canoe that he absolved the tariff from blame in bringing about the panic of 1887. In a speech, printed in Niles Register. he said:
 "No doubt we shall hear every cause but the true one assigned for the present distress. It will be laid to it will be laid to the bank, it will be laid to the merchants, 1t will be laid to the manufacturers. 1t will be laid to the tarif, 1t will be laid to the north star or to the malign influence of the last comet whose tail swept near to or across the orbit of, this earth of ours. before we shall be al- lowed to ascribe 1t to its just. main causes-a ltampering with the curren- cy, and anN attempt to stretch execu- tive power over a subject not consti- tutionaliy within its reach"

HOW HE WOULD MISS THEM

To understand just how much some of the modern inventions have become the necessities of our daily lives 1t is only necessary to be deprived of them. Our forefathers of less than one short century ago knew nothing of railroads, telegraphs and telephone lines and con- sequentiy were not capable of appre- ciating them or of imagining what they would do without them. We, on the other hand, are so accustomed to these things that we rarely think of how we could do if deprived of them.
 France. 1t appears. is now in the midst of q general strike. not only of the telephone and telegraph operators but of the mall carriers as we'll. "Fraifce, therefore" says The Pitts burg Post. "is in a position to realize how her forebears fared fifty or 100 years ago. only that the situation is worse, for the reason that people of the present period have come to regard the telephone. telegraph and mails as common necessities, to be in- vok cd at will. Without them. we are a hapless. helpless. powerless crew. besides which the yearling infant Is mighty force. A year or more ago, the United States gained some knowl- edge of the effect of a strike in only one line. the telegraph. It can be readily understood how much more se- rious is the combined strike of the three great message carrying utilities In France"
 Now. in order to even faintly realize what 1t would mean in our own coun- try 1t Is only necessary to try to in- agine what it would mean to us if not only the telephones and tele- graphs were put out of business, even for limited time. but if the carriage and delivery of all mail was stopped We use the mails and electric lines more than the French people do, and to be deprived of them would be a greater hardship on us than it is on them. People in some of the rural dis tricts of the country would not feel it very acute1y but to the inhabitants of the cities 1t would seem almost as bad as cutting off all food rations to be deprived even for a day of the power to talk over the telephone. or send telegram, or receive mall regularly. We must try to do without such con- veniences before we can realize how necessary they have become.

Sends m U1timatum.


 Washington Special to New York Tri-
 bune.
 The Secretary of State has caused to be communicated to President Zelaya of Nicara qua. an ultimatum that un- less immediate steps are taken to sub init to arbitration the claims of the United States. this Government will sever it's diplomatic relations with Me- aragua The methods of submission must be formulated within thirty days. and the court decided on within sixty days. A court of three arbitrators Is proposed, one to be selected by each country and they to select a third.
 The Nicaraguan Minister at Wash ington has been requested to communi- cate the ultimatum to his Government and to get an answer as soon as prac- ticable. The attitude of the Minister Is much more conciliatory than 1t was. but Secretary Knox has requested him to make clear that firmness of tone will be followed by frmness of action If President Zelaya deos not yield to reason.
 American naval vessels will be re- tained near Nicaragua not only until the Emery case and other claims are submitted to arbitration. but also until every indication of hostilIties has been removed
