EA1IOR ARJGo-
ED OVER THE ELECTION
Continued from page IL

Continued from page ID
ty-three. The congressional election
has already been held In Maine and
Vermont, and as the Democrats gained
two representatives In Maine the Re
publican majority has already been
cut down to thirty-nine. The Demo
Gratis must therefore gain twenty new
members In order to obtain control.
The chief gains in congressman
which the Democrats are expecting
are in the east and middle west. The
insurgents of the Republican party are
hoping to see their number doubled.
They expect to carry practically all of
the Districts in the middle west where
insurgent candidates have been placed
in nomination.
1t is conceded that nothing short of
a Democratic landslide, national in it's
sweep, could overcome the Republican
majority In the United States senate.
The terms Of thirty senators will ex-
pfre On March 8, 1911.
The Democrats would have to gain
thirteen or fourteen senators to win a
majority In the senate. Their best
hopes of further gains are In Indiana,
Nebraska. Nevada, Montana and Mis-
souri,. Unless the Democrats sweep the
legislatures of such states as Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York and
New Jersey, however, they cannot hope
to be In full control Of the Sixty-second
congress.
Interest In New York.
The most interesting of the state
contests by all odds has been that in
New York. AT the same time vigorous
campaigns have been made by the
Democrats for their local tickets in
most Of the states. The split between
the conservative and the insurgent fac
tons of the Republican party gave
their opponents a long awaited oppor-
tunity.
The situation in New York is dupli-
Gated In most of the states of the east
and middle west.
Out in Indiana Senator Beveridge la
bors under the disadvantage that his
campaign is complicated by an abund-
ance OF local state issues.
The woman suffrage question Is
raised in Oklahoma, South Dakota,
Washington and Oregon. The first
three will vote on the general question
of giving women the ballot. In Oregon
an amendment to the constitution will
be submitted to popular vote granting
the ballot to all taxpayers regardless
of sex.

ROUGH TIME
FOR SCOTTY
GOldfield People HOOt Him Off
Amature Stage

Death Valley Scotty, the greatest
unwashed mystery that ever origin
ated in Southern Necada, made his
debut as an actor at a moving pic
ture house in Goldfield several
nights ago, and from the press re-
ports his success was not what il
should have been. Scotty tried to
hand out the bull in quantities TOO
large to suit the Goldfielders. Who
are not amateurs along that line, and
as consequence the mystery"
was forced to quit the stage In
speaking of the affair the Goldfield
Tribune gives the following:
'Scotty put up hard luck story
last night at one of the moving pic
ture shows. The house could not
accommodate the people who clam
ored to get in when they head that
'Scotty was to appear under the dis
Snise of an amateur night. The
audience was inclined to be tolerant
for no one aid a word against the
appearance of the man from the land
OF nowhere until he began to tell
that he owned the greatest gold mine
in the world. Then the listeners
protested and began calling for the
proofs in som mild terms as come
off, show up the goods and other
r2trn I.fi ,,.h no
of the actor. Scotty
stood this mild rallery for quite a |
time and then retreated from tie |
stage. 1t has been known for some |
time that Scotty has been down and |
out after that first flash of handful |
of double eagles last Friday night, |
since which time ae has been await

also a full review of the Nevada
Trans-cOntinental case now before

One Of the most important items
concerning the welfare of the people
of Nevada is the action taken by the
Railroad Commission with the Wells
Fargo Express Company. The Com
MISSION is about ready to announce to
the people that general reduction
Of express rates on state hauls has
been gained.

That thie 10 not a final reduction
should be made matter of note
The Commission hopes that further
reduction in express charges can be
erected at later time. In regard
to Interstate express rates the follow
ing appears in the report whic, ax.
tends hope that Eastern express
charges can be materially reduced
when decisions that are awaited are
rendered
Express rates are made up on
basis Of two and one-:laif times the
frst-class freight rate, therefore, any
reduction in freight 'ates should
force a corresponding reduction In
express charges"
The Nevada terminal case is now
in the hands Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Should the de-
cision be favorable, as there is every
reason to believe, the Commission
will then set about adjusting express
charges from Eastern points.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
DISCUSS MONEY MATTERS
Question of Raising Funds For County Sup
port Goes Over for One Week.

The statement of the various Off
GERS for the month of December were
presented to the Board, and approv
ed.
A petition signed by a number OF
the taxpayers OF the county relative
to repairing the Lloyd bridge was
presented to the board and it was e.
cided to arrange for the anchOring of
the structure to the banks for the
present time. What is to be done in
this matter will depend entirely on
what action is takn as regards the
replenishins OF the county treasury,
The County Clerk called the at
tentiOn of the County Commissioners
to the franchise of the V. & r. Rail
road in which ii was agreed by the
company at the time the franchise
was given that the company would
keep Washington Street turnpiked
and in repair at all times if the road
was allowed right-of-way down
that street. The city proposes t.
take some action in tais matter soon
and as the franchise was granted
originally by the County Commits
sioners the attention of the board
was merely called to the agreemnt.
The Clerk informed the board that
tn county building was in need of
fuel but as under the law the bOarl
can contract no bills this matter was
laid aside until next Monday when
the board hopes to have some def
mite line of action decided upon.
Several requests for aid were re-
ceived and those matters were also
postponed until the adjourned meet
ing.
The present conditions of affairs |
are to be regretted but can he blam-
ed to no one in particular unless it |
be the fact that the money that |
should he available at this time is in |
The Nye & Ormsby County Bank |
The suit TO recover from the bonds
men OF County Treasurer Patterson |
will be taken up next week and il
the money is eventually recovered it
will come too late to tide the county |
over its present financial difficulties. |
The same condition of affairs eX-
lists in several counties of the state
and in several of them the Emer
gency Act has been brought into
play and the necessary money has
been borrowed to tide the counties
through their crisis.
AS stated before. no action was
taken to-day by the board. but the
matter will be discussed from every
viewpoint and it is probable that at
the meeting to be held on next Mon
day some action will be taken.
