Washington, August 11.-(Specia1)- The rumor Is revived and appears to he growing in strength that Presi- dent Taft will be compelled before long to find a way to get rid of Sec retary Ballinger. However, 1t is not believed that any action will be taken until the special committee of investi- gation. appointed by Congress, makes Its report.
 It Is pretty well understood here that a majority Of that committee are anxious to "whitewash" Ballinger if 1t can be done with good grace, but the feeling Is so intense through the west that even Senator Knute Nelson is re- ported to be trying to find a way to have announcement. of the findings de- layed until after the November cleo ton.

OGDEN TO BE RECOGNIZED AS
IMPORTANT RAILROAD POINT

An Ogden dispatch states that Divis-
ion Superintendent w. M. Jeffers, of
the Union Pacific, will be transferred
to Green River, Wyoming, in the mid
die of his division, and that an assis-
tant superintendent to General Super
intendent Ware, of Omaha, will be
placed at Ogden, was the statement of
General Manager s. l.. Mohler of the
Union Pacific system. who accompanied
President Robert s. Lovett out Of Og-
den yesterday afternoon. This means
that Ogden is to be recognized as an
equally important division point as
Omaha on the Union Pacific, say local
railroad men.
Speaking of the change Mr.. Mohler
said:
"The increasing business of the
Union Pacific imperatively demands
that general and important officer
of the road, with far more power than
division superintendent, be located
at Ogden. and this will be done some
time this summer. just who this off
Ger will be / am not at liberty to say
as yet. He will be invested with pow
ers about equal to those of the general
superintendent at Omaha. Ogden g
position as one of the most important
terminals of the Hartman system is
daily growing in the eyes of the man
agement, who already have undertak-
en- vast improvement expenditures in
the local yards.

GOOD MOVEMENT IN
PARADISE VALLEY BONDS

J. G. Jacobs, promoter of the Para.
disc Valley railroad, reports that, judg-
ing from the manner in which the
bonds for the new line are being tax.
en-. he anticipates no trouble in dispos-
ing of the $l50,000 of the securities ap.
portioned to this county.
Mr.. Jacobs Is no novice in railroad
building, having constructed numerous
lines, among which were the cooper
Belt running from the Rio Grande at
Bingham, Utah, three miles up in the
mountains, and the road from Fair
field, on the Union Pacific, to the min.
ing camp of Mercur. Utah. The latter
line is admitted to be the most diff
cult feat of railroad engineering in the
world. Bv wagon road the distance be.
tween the two points is covered in sew
EN- miles. but by rail is fourteen, the
average grade being four per cent.
Shay cog engines are employed,
which pull the average load up the
mountain side. The cost of construc-
tion was about $4,000 per mile.
The Cooper Belt line has an av.
erage grade of ~ per cent, and cost
considerable more per mile for con.
struction.
Mr.. Jacobs estimates that the cost
Of the Paradise Valley ROAD will not
exceed $4,000 per mile. Construction
work will not be commenced until all
the bonds have been disposed Of and
If sold in time the new road will be in
ooeratio some time during December
of the present year.

RAPID PROGRESS
in LOCAL CENSUS

Although Census Supervisor Rus.
sell, of Elko, has been receiving nu-
merous complaints from his enumerat-
ors throughout the state on account of
treatment received from citizens, there
has been no trouble experienced by
Enumerator William E. Moore at Win
nemucca.

the local enumerator started in at the
residence and garage of Ed Smith, on
First street. Last evening, at the close

ond and Third. He reports that SO far
he has been received with uniform
courtesy at every residence where he
has called, and that all questions have
been fully and cheerfully answered.
The territory to be covered by the
enumerator empraces Winnemucca vot-
ing precinct, which covers the town as
well as Rose Creek to the west and
seven or eight miles of territory to
the east and south. The work must be
completed on May IA, and Mr.. Moore
has it figured out that he will be kept
busily engaged to get through on time.
The enumeration of the Chinese
population will be left to the last,

SULPHUR SHOULD
MAKE LARGE CITY

The Good News Mining company,
near Sulphur, will ship via the West
ern Pacific in a few days number Of
sacks of their high grade hornsilver
ore. Some of this ore carries values
exceeding $4,000 per ton. H. c.. Reich,
the general manager, writes the Silver
State that they are now working in =
rich vein of the white metal. A large
number of leasers are now at work at
the mines. AS this mine and the ia
nous Durango Girl, which adjoins, are
only about two miles from the boom
ing oil town of Sulphur, they will con.
tribute no little to the population and
business of the place. Also adjoining
is the extensive works of the Nevada
Sulphur company, employing score
of men taking out and refining sulphur.
A short distance to the northeast are
the Jackson mountains, with their nu-
merous gold, silver and copper mines.
Seven miles to the southwest is the
Rosebud district and near by on the
east is Saw Tooth.
Aside from it's chief attraction-oil-
the town of Sulphur has a splendid
prospect for building up prosperous
city. 1t is also just the right distance
from another large town (Winnemuc-
ca) to make stores and other business
lines profitable.
