GAMBLERS TO SUBMIT TO
GRACEFULLY

era, they had not made enough moley
to warrant keeping open. Only the
ending of the regime prompted them
to continue in business.
Their contentious seem proven b.,
the Oberon, which was closed three
months ago, by the actions of several
saloons which have ceased to operate
roulette wheels, and by the action OF
many of the cafes that close up from Z
to 3 O'Clock in the morning until . or
7. instead of remaining open constantly
as formerly.
Gambling house proprietors OF other
cities coincide with the views OF the
Reno men; Goldtield and Tonopah have
decided to abide by the new law pro.
hibiting the games, and it seems dou'
full if any attempt will be made to re-
store free and open gambling in News
da. the last state in the Union to FOR

sign POSTS GO UP
in DEATH VALLEY

Regarding the establishing of sign
posts in the deserts, State M~ineralogist
Lewis E. Aubury of California says that
he secured an appropriation from the
legislature of 5000 for the purpose of
manufacturing metallic guide posts TO
be erected in the desert sections of Cali
fornia. The state was to provide the
posts, and the counties of Kern, Los
Angeles, San Bernardino, Inyo, San
Diego and Riverside were to provide
for their erection.
A large number of sign posts indicat-
ing distances and directions to water
have been erected, and there ought to
be many more. Only one-half of the
state appropriation has been expended
and the other half is ready upon de-
mand by the counties mentioned. Au-
bury saws that there will be no dim
Guilty in obtaining the necessary FUNDS
if the supervisors of the counties IN
terested will ask for them,a and the posts
will be erected to guide the wanderers
thronoh deserts in California without
calling for federal aid, as is suggested
by advice from Reno.

PERTINENT GOSSIP ABOUT
A AND LOCAL POLITICS

Yesterday, a time subsequent by
nearly two months to the day on which
the last candidate for a legislative po-
sition on the Republican ticket filed
his nomination papers with the county
clerk, the seven Republican nominees
for those places in this county placed
on record statement No. l, which binds
such legislative candidates to vote for
the candidate for the United States
Senate receiving the greatest number
of votes at the general election.
Prior to August 6, the last day for
the fling of nomination papers, each
candidate for nomination for member
of the Legislature On the Democratic
ticket, under the provisions of the pri-
mary law, had filed this same state
ment, going then before the people
with that assurance.
The statement is as follows: 81 fur
Their declare to the people of Nevada
and to the people Of Esmeralda county,
that during RS term of Office, with
out regard % my individual preference,
will always vote for that candidate
for United States Senator in Congress
who has received for that office the
highest number of the peoples votes
for that position at the general election
next preceding the election of a Sena-
tor in Congress-"
The peculiar feature of this late, but
better than never action on the part of
Che Republican legislative candidates
Els that it was taken very shortly after
George S. Nixon, candidate for United
States Senator on the Republican tick
ct. had issued a statement in answer to
one made by Key Pittman, candidate
of the Democratic party for the same
office, the latter having declared thai
there should be no doubt after the No
vember election and prior to action by
the legislature, as TO who will be the
next United States Senator, and nc
sooner had this statement been pub
lished than the typewriter above the
postoffice here became busy, and there
were struck off seven statements which
should have peer filed two months ago
The statements are now with the

torney, 2. A. McCarran of Reno.
4 cart was convicted of murder in the
hfst degree by a Humboldt county

The murder was committed on a
street in the mining camp of Mazuma.

An appeal was taken by Attorney
McCarran and it was about ready to
De heard by the supreme court, when
suddenly Mr.. McCarran withdrew the
appeal and directed his efforts to bring
ing the case before the board of par
dons.
With difficulty he secured a special
session, which was called for Wednes-
day afternoon. Mr.. McCarran made an
lmpassioned appeal for the life of his
client, after he had in clear, concise
fashion reviewed the evidence. TIE
board held a brief consultation at the
conclusion of the argument and com
muted the sentence to life imprison-
ment. Assemblyman McCafferty of
Humboldt county was active in his eff
forts to secure the Communication of

MANY CORPORATIONS
FAILED TO PAY UP

SACRAMENTO, Sept. "a. Forty
five hundred corporations will proba-
bly, forfeit their charters and rights
to transact business in California
through failure to pay corporation Ii
cense tax, according to Deputy Seere-
tary of State Lew Norton. They will
have until 4 O'Clock on the afternoon
of Nov. 30 TO pay up. Ten dollars has
been added as a penalty for delin-
quency.
Norton stated that his collection for
the year had amounted to $637,175 and
would probably reach 100000 before
the close of the fiscal year. The mum
Der of corporations which allowed their
charters to expire is greater by hoo
than last year, but about 1900 new
ones have been formed.

Senator Morehouse has returned from
a visit in Reno, where he met with
Senator Nixon and other Republican
leaders preliminary to the converting OF
the convention of candidates in Carson
on next Tuesday, when the party plat
form will be adopted. 1t is understood
that the presidents of the Lincoln-Roose-
welt Club of Nevada, which position
Senator Morehouse holds, is now en-
gagged in polishing a rough draft Of the
platform to be presented to the con-
v%ention next Tuesday.
1t is further understood that the
platform will be progressive not
"insurgent,' in character. 1t having
been decided in Reno to make it pro
gressive,D which, by the way, in some
quarters, is a more polite name for
'sinsurgency,' it was thought best to
secure she services of the Goldfeld at
torney to draft the document for the
benefit of those up north who have
come to fear "insurgency' so strongly
that now they would make false love,
divoreing Fright in Reno, too), for the
time being only, Aldrichism and South
ern Pacifcism.
1t is going to be very amusing, the
adoption of this platform, this Gin
surgent'' platform, for Senator Nixon
and the others TO stand on.

The candidates for state and fed
eral places on the Democratic ticket
will within the next few days start on
a canvass of the state which will be as
aggressive as it is possible to make it.
They will reach into every town ana
hamlet and meet every individual vot-
err if possible. This campaign on the1s
part will be pursued for every moment
there is in it, and if great activity on
behalf of a good cause can be made to
win as against the use of much money,
and many other things besides, it win
be done in this campaign.

LETTERS FROM Post
MASTER GENERAL
That Will Prove Of Interest And
Value To Many Along Poorly
Kept Routes
The Postmaster,

Marion. Ky. Sir: 1t is the
desire of the Department that
you earnestly request patrons of
rural delivery routes out of your
office to paint their boxes and
the posts to which they are at
tached, pure White color. This
course, if pursued, will not only
result in benefit to the patron in
serving to protect his box and
post from damage by the wealth
er, but will give all boxes a uni
form color and serve to fix their
iden tity in all parts of the coun-
try as United States mail boxes,
and will give them a much neat
er and sightlier appearance than
they now possess. 1t is also de-
sired that patrons be induced to
imprint their names and box
numbers Oh boxes in black block
letters about two inches high.
Posts to which boxes should
be attached shall be set in an
easily accessible position at the
side of the road and boxes Sc
curely fastened to a projecting
arm of wood; or to a bracket
of band iron about three-six-
teenths of an inch thick, or, if
preferred, an automatic extern
sion arm may be used.
Respectfully,

The Postmaster.

The Postmaster,
Marion, KY, Sir.-As a result
of general and special letters
sent out by the Department, and
the cooperation of Postmasters
and Carriers, there has been a
great Improvement in the high
ways on which rural routes are
established. There are, howev-
er, many localities where road
conditions are bad and improve
ments imperative.
You are directed to inform
yourself with reference to the
condition of roads and bridges
on the rural routes out of your
office, and If you find that they
require improvement you should
present the matter in the strong
est and most positive way to the
patrons and road officials, infor-
ming them that improvements
must be made as soon as practi-
cable. If, after a reasonable time
has elapsed, the improvements
have not been made or started,
you will report the fact to this
office in order that action may
be taken looking to the discon-
tinuanance of the service.
The Department is not immedi-
ately concerned in elaborate
road improvements; but in the
interest of the best service to
the largest number of patrons
it must insist upon roads being
kept in good repair, the lack of
which is usually due to improp
er drainage, and unsuitable
grading and surface work.
which can be easily and cheaply
accomplished by timely work
and the regular use of the split
log drag or other similar device.
Respectfully.

Fourth Assistant p. M. General.
