Dust Causes Consumption.

Washington, Nov. 8.-That approx
imately Is per cent of the deaths OF
persons whose occupations expose
them to dust and to general organic
dust are due to tuberculosis is the
startling fact disclosed in a bulletin
prepared at the Bureau Of Labor by
Frederick L. Hoffman.
Through the statistics studied by
Mr.. Hoffman indicate that municipal
and general organtic dusts are less
serious in their effect than metallic
or mineral dust, the consequences to
health and life, he says, are sufficient
" serious to demand careful atten-
ton to the problem of dust preven-
ton.
According to insurance mortality
experience, 25.5 per cent of deaths in
occupations with exposure to num-
cipal dust were due to consumption,
and in occupations exposed to gener-
al organic dust the proportion was %
per cent.

GAME LAW READY CASH.
October Fees Add $4,000 to

jefferson City, Mo-, Nov.-The

quite satisfactorily, judging from such
reports as reach State Game and Fish
Commissioner Jesse A. Tolerton.
While all the October license fees
have not been reported to the State
Treasurer, yet about $4,000 has al
ready been received and several
thousand will undoubtedly be added.
There was balance on the Septem-
Der collections Of more than $ll,OOO
and it is probable that $4,000 or
$4,000 will be collected for the pres
ent month.
The department will on January |
have a balance of above $35, 900 and
this will be doubled during the year
1910. When the next Legislature
meets there will be a large balance in

Until Commissioner Tolerton and
his deputies began work no one had
any idea of the extent to which the
fish laws were being violated. In the

destroyed more than 1000 unlawful
nets.
1t is now quite plain why so many
fine streams Of water in this Stat
have been practically barren TO-
years. The fish simply had M
chance to multiply, owing to the un

GOVERNMENT TO
MAKE SURVEY OF
WALKER LAKE
FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARRIVE IN
RENO PREPARATORY TO
SURVEYING.

c. G. Anderson of Washington, D.
c., chief of the Typographical depart
ment of the United States geological
survey, department of the interior,
was in Reno yesterday purchasing
provisions for a corps of seven gov
eminent surveyors who are to assist
him in some special important work
here.
When seen yesterday by Journal
man, the official explained his mis-
sion in Nevada. The department
has sent me out here from Washing
ton to prepare surveys and topogra-
phical maps of the Walker lake dis
trict," said Anderson. This is my
first visit this far west and this city,
with all it's extent of apparent bdsi-
ness, is revelation to me.
THE exterior township lines were
run by the government several years
ago, but there has never been a topo-
graphic map made of this district,
which comprises 1000 square miles
of territory. The government has a
camp outfit at Yerington, composed
of twelve horses and all appurten-
ances making up complete equip
ment, and will have it at Walker
lake in few days.
After / have laid in supply of
groceries, canned meats and feed for
the stock, which l am buying in your

supply, l will start for work which
will consume at least six or eight
months. This section will probably
be designated by the department az
the Hawthorne quadrangle, various
names to be assigned to the sections
after our work is completed.
Our visit here now is the outcome
of plan inaugurated last fall. the
foremost reason for this particular
tract being selected for carry opera
tions being undoubtedly the belief
that it contains valuable mineral de.
posits and survey and maps would
be desirable in the near future. =

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

The San Francisco Call, in its is
sue of May 9th has graphic account
of double tragedy in which Mr..
and Mrs. F. L. Beach were the cen
trail figures. The story is of particu-
lar interest because Mrs. Beach was
born and raised in Dayton. She was
a daughter of Mrs. Saunders, and a
grand daughter of w. w. Byron, one
of the pioneers of the state. AS Miss
Lillian Saunders, she became the
bride of Mr.. Cornish and by him had
two daughters, Sylvia and Cora.
These children received part OF their
education in the Reno schools.
Later Mrs. Cornish secured divorce
and married Beach. Subsequently
she had trouble with him, and at the
time of the tragedy she was making
her home with her mother, Mrs.
Saunders, in San Francisco. Beach
and his wife had been separated and
when she refused to return to him
he beat her over the head with re-
volver and then fired two shots into
her body, killing her instantly. He
then fired bullet into his own brain
and fell dead across the body of the
woman he had just murdered. One
of the daughters, Sylvia, witnessed
the tragedy.
