BECOME LAWS BY
DEFAULT

Governor Dickerson spent yester-
day in Reno where he and his wife at
tended the jollifcation of the Shrin-
ers Yesterday was the end of the
time limit granted by law for the sign
ing and the vetoing of the measures
passed by the last legislature.
All bills lying upon the desk of
the governor, which have not been
signed or rejected, become laws by the
expiration of the time limit. There
are six of these bills which are Sub.
8. b. 32, which is known as the code
bill and which was the cause Of great
fight in the assembly during the ses-
sion. 1t places in the hands Of the
members of the supreme court the
compiling and codification of the laws
Of the state.
A. b. 900, which relates to the ap-
pointment of the city attorney of the
city of Reno by the city council is
another of the bills upon which the
governor refrained from expressing
an opinion and why the power of the
people should be taken from them and
placed within the hands of the city
council is a question that to the ma
jority of the people of the state will
always remain a mystery.
A. B. &c, which is an act concerning
an act for appropriation for the State
Agrilutural association is in line with
the vetoing of bill passed during the
session making an appropriation for the
association.
s. b. rs, which was for the relief of
Mrs. Nancy Sparks, widow of the late
Governor Sparks, is another Of the bliss
that became law without the sigma
ture of the governor. This measure
placed the governor in rather pecu-
liar position as it is thought by many
that the law would not stand the inves-
tigation of the courts if taken to them,
owing to a provision of law which
states that no funds secured by taxa
ton can be appropriated for personal
benefits. The condition of Mrs. Sparks
and the love and esteem with which the
late governor was held by the people
of the state, has made it universal
wish that his widow receive the bene-
fits of this appropriation.
8. b. 20, is relief measure for the
benefit of Sarids Summerfield of Reno
and allows the city of Reno to pay him
a small sum for labors performed. The
sixth bin to become law without the
governors signature is A. b. l57 re-
lating to the preservation of the hsh
and game of the state and allows the
county commissioners to establish and
pay the salaries of game wardens.-

MORE FREQUENT
EXAMINATIONS
Especial to Silver State News.l


NEW YORK, April 3.-Free medical
examination of policyholders every five
years as means of prolonging human
life was suggested to the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents yester-
day afternoon by DR.. Burnside Foster,
editor of the st. Paul (Minn.) Medical
Journal and also a life insurance ex-
aminer. Such examinations, DR.. Fos-
ter declared, would reveal the incipient
stages of unsuspected diseases that
could be cured or whose progress could
be materially retarded, and it would
thus be possible to add five, ten or
more years to the average longevity of
Of course such examin-
ations could not be made compulsory,
but DR.. Foster thought that the pro-
posed innovation would be welcomed
by policyholders once they realized the
value and significance of it.
The Life Extension Committee Of the
Presidents association will consider
DR.. Fosters suggestion. This commit
tee has already in hand the proposition
Of Prof. Irving Fisher Of Yale uni
versity that the life companies should
contribute financial aid to a campaign
of health education, Prof. Fisher hav-
ing declared that the general adoption
of hygienic reforms would add fifteen
years to the span of life in this coun-
try.

U. s. GOVERNMENT Investigating
METHODS FOR PRESERVING timber

so long as it is bone-dry.
There are great many cases, how
ever, where it is impossible to keep
wood submerged in water, or in an alb.
solutely air-dry condition. In fact, q
large percentage of the timber which
is used is exposed to the weather, and
is subjected to decay simply because
it contains enough air and enough
water for the decomposing organisms to
get foothold. Decay is most serious
where the atmosphere is warm and
damp, because these conditions are
most favorable for its development. In
the coal mines of Pennsylvania timber
decays in two or three years because
the temperature is warm and constant
and the air is damp. And in the south,
the warm, humid atmosphere often
causes the timber to rapidly decompose.
Decay may be prevented by two
general methods, by treating the wood
with antiseptics, thus poisoning the
food supply of the organisms which
cause decay and by treating it with
oils which render it waterproof A
combination of these two methods is
most commonly used, as when wood
is treated with cresote which fills up
the pores in the timber and keeps out
water and is also powerful antiseptic.
The United States government con-
siders the Investigations of the preser-
vative treatment of timber of such i'm
portance that the business of one
group of men in the forest service is
given over entirely to the work Of exx-
periments in cooperation with rail
road companies and individuals in pro-
longing the life of railroad ties, mine
props, bridge timbers, fence posts and
transmission uoles. Advice and prac-
tical assistance is furnished all who
request this advice of the district for
ester at San Francisco. The lengthen-
ing of life of timber means the saving
of thousands of dollars annually
through doing awoy with tn eheavy
expense of labor and cost of material
for renewals.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.-Piles
driven by the hut dwellers of the Bal
tic centuries ago are as sound today
as when first placed. The wooden
coffin in which the Egyptians buried
their dead are still preserved in per-
feet condition after thousands of years
of service.
The longevity of timber under these
two extremes of climate and moisture
conditions has naturally made people
ask: What causes wood decays The
answer is, fungi, and bacteria, low
forms of plant life which live in the
wood and draw their nourishment from
it. The little organisms are so little
that microscope is required to see
them, yet their work results in the de-
struction of billions of feet of timber
each year and the railroad corporation
with it's cross tie bill running up into
seven figures and the farmer who
spends a hundred or so dollars year
for fence posts are alike drawing upon
the knowledge Of experts in all parts
of the world in efforts to learn the most
economical and most satisfactory meth
cd of preserving wood against the in
roads of decay In studying the means
of preventing decay wood-preserving
experts have learned many things about
the obnoxious fungi which sap the life
o ftimber.
The small organisms can grow either
in light or in total darkness; but all
of them require requisite amounts OF
air, food, moisture and heat If one or
more of these essential requirements is
lacking, they can not live, and the de-
cay of timber will not take place.
Wood constantly submerged in water
never rots, simply because there is an
insufficient supply of air. This con-
dition accounts for the soundness of
the old Baltic piles. On the other
hand, if wood can be kept airdry it
will not decay because there win then
be too little moisture. The timber used
BY the Egyptians viii last indefinitely
