WASHINGTON.-Among the thou
w sand things that Influenced the
making of the tariff bill in congress.
there has been overlooked one ele
ment that had indirect but important
effect on the raising or lowering of
schedules. Three times a day this
influence got to work on the sena.
tors and congressman perspiring in
the midsummer heat of the capitol.
1t was their daily diet.
The menus of Washington are a
culinary tumble, gastronomic hash,
geographical mixture of tropical and
temperate zone cookery. They must
serve the pie eaters of New England,
the Frenchified palates of New York
ers, the beefeaters of the north, the
iron-clad stomachs of the west, and
the uneasy livers of the south.
The city bhs not completely ac-
quired the art of hot weather dining
that you can find best exemplified in
Egypt, India, and the far east where
Englishmen and Americans live in ex-
lie. 1t struggles between carnivorous
appetites and tropical temperature.
What sort of tariff decision would
yoE expect from man who eats beef
steak for breakfast, yet this is what
you can find on Washington bills of
fare. Then there are II different
kinds of cereal foods that leave a
sawdust nourishment in your stomach,
Washington telegraph., 1909-08-27

and a dozen different acidy fruits that
Carlsbad doctors tell you to avoid.
There is nothing in the world that lies
heavier on a tired, flaccid, midsummer
stomach than an iced melon the first
thing in the morning, yet a majority
of the tariffmakers ate them daily.
The internal chill their digestive or
gans get is a rapid cooler for tariff
reduction enthusiasm
The capitol restaurant serves more
dairy dishes and pie than at any
other time of the year The average
lawmaker eats at noon-a good habit
in this country, if only he would eat
digestible food. But he turns his
liver with overdoses Of milk, pours
down quantities of iced drinks amid
layers of pie and devitalizing food.
The one salvation is that roast beef
generally cold-still remains the
principal blood making, brain sustain
ing, muscle giving meat dish of the
capital.
But it is the night diners that fur
nish the most amazing specimens of
menus. The bills of fare of the lead
ing hotels follow closely parallel lines.
Their principal dishes can be classi-
fed as follows:
Twenty-four different kinds of ices.
Fifteen cold salads.
Fifteen different ways of cooking
potatoes.
TWenty-nine vegetables, hot and
cold.
Eight fish cooked in Is different
ways.
Thirteen fresh fruits.
Eight varieties of cheese.
Seventeen hot roasts and entrees,
of which eight were chicken and
birds

PUTTING IN NEW TRACK.
Nevada Con. People Will Fee
Easier as to Safety When \
~ &c formulated

Work has been started on a new
track from the steam shovel pit to
the Star Pointer shaft, men being
now engaged with plows and scrapers
cleaning the way. The length of the
new track will be nearly a mile, and
will parallel the tracks of the Ne
vada Northern railway. There is SO
much railroading going on in the
vicinity of the Nevada Consolidated's
pit, that a serious accident is feared,
if there is not some release of the
big traffic. The utmost care is being
used, but the management will feel
much easier when they are running
another track, which will have its
start from the east side of the pit.

McGILL SOCIETY EVENT.

The most enjoyable and success
full social of the year was held at

and Mrs. Mckay had charge of the
program which consisted of several
selections by Messrs. Clark and

rendered, as were the selections by

comes down to the number of peo-

as saying that he would give the
road anything in reason, for he be-
lieyed that any loss he might under

paid him by the increased dement's

of the road.

RAILROAD DAY AT MASON.
The Reno Gazette says editorially

The Reno Gazette says editorially:
In point of productive acreage and
likewise in point of acreage that
might and will be made to pro-
duce, Mason Valley easily leads the
state.
Hitherto the produce of the vast
xpanse of alluvial lands has been
hauled long distances to the near
est point of shipment, but now the
yalley is being tapped by a line of
railroad that will facilitate ship
ments.
The construction of the Copper
Belt railroad was practically an in
lividual enterprise, it being plan
ned primarily to transport the ores
Of the Mason Valley mine to a point
near Wabuska, where an enormous
smelter is being constructed.
Secondarily, however, the railroad,
being a common carrier, will enable
he shipment of ores from other
mines in the district and will like
wise carry the produce of the agri-

districts to market.

cultural districts to market.
The building of this railroad is
acclaimed by miners and farmer
alike and its completion, within the
near future, will be the occasion
for a celebration in which the peo-
pie of the valley will be Joined by
Nevadans from the four quarters of
the compass.
To the originators of the railroad
plans, and likewise the principal II
not the sole contributors toward its
construction, the Mason Valley Min
ing company there is due a need of
praise, which will not be stinted.
Since the throwing of dirt was
first begun on this road, there has
been a stimulation of all lines of
industry in Mason Valley and the
advantages that have already accru-
ed are as nothing when compared
with what is in store.
Mason district, which has hither-
to had it's praises unsung, has cen
working steadily for years in the de-
velopment of its properties and now
it blossoms forth as a new Ely.
The formation of its ore bodies
are such as to practically preclude
steam shovel work, such as has
made Ely one of the worlds greatest
copper producers, but there is every
reason for believing that the ore
bodies in the lodes of Mason ridge
are not of less size or richness than
those of White Pine county.
For many years Mason Valley has
been recognized as one of the
greatest producers of alfalfa, grain,
livestock and potatoes in the state.
Now that a means of reaching mar
ket speedily and at little expense is
provided by the new railroad, the
valley promises to prosper as no
other section in the state has within
the DaSt few years.

Her piano solos, "Serenade" by JEFF
