..H..TPING POINT

The Southern Pacific and West
ern Pacific freight depots are the
scenes of much activity and energy
just now in handling the volume of
incoming and outgoing freight.
This traffic is enormous for there
is an exten i've conSunin ing county
to the north and south. Winnie
mucca is the commercial supply
point and vice versa it is the
emporium that receives the multi
piled products Of the fertile ranges
and mountains for many miles
north into. Oregon and south into
Churchill county. These products
are the fieeces of myriads of sheep,
the fruit of the splendid respon.
sive orchards of the; north lands,
the. grains'of the richly productive
soil of the Humboldt, Quinn River
and Paradise valleys and the splen-
did cattle and mutton that go to
the markets to feed and supply
the multitudes, and the ores of the
richly laden mountains surround
ing Winnemuca.
These depot scenes are but small
index of what is in store for the
thrifty and enterprising of the days
to come. Winnemucca is the focal
point for a great inland city of

ADVERTISING FOR A MAYOR

German cities are the best
governed in the world. How far
apart are the ideas of Germans and
Americans on the subject of city
government may be seen from
reading an advertisement which
lately appeared in number of
German papers:
"The place of mayor of Magde-
burg is vacant. The salary is
.21, 900 marks ($5,25O) a year,
including The rents of a dwelling
in the city hall. Besides his
salary the incumbent will receive
1000 marks ($1,0OO) for his official
expenses. Candidates should apply
before September l."
Can any one imagine an American
city advertising for a mayor? Can
any one give a good reason why a
city should not advertise for a
mayor when it needs one?
The German idea is that a
municipality is a business, to be
conducted on business lines. The
office Of mayor Is one requiring
knowledge and skill of a technical,
professional character. A man
who has proved himself good
mayor in one German town is
frequently invited to another.
The larger look to the smaller
towns to train municipal officers
for them. 1t frequently happens
that two cities bid in competition
for a particularly expert man. So
