UNDERGROUND WATERS

Tho United States geological sur vey has just issued a report by NJ l.. Fuller entitled Underground Waters for Farm Use". Mir. Fuller enumer. ates the various kind of rocks and de- posits that contain and convey under ground water, describes the several types of wells. and discusses meas ures for the protection of springs and wells from pollution. The report. which is issued as water-supply pa per 225, also contains seceions on methods oi well boring. the use of cisterns. the diyining rod, the ad, and cost of wells. 1t covers 5S pages e1t kinds of wells, and the location vantages and disadvantages of differ and s illustrated by numerous plates and figures.
 The Divinino Rod.
 In speaking of the diyining rod MT. Fuller says, No appliance. either mechanical or electrical. has yet been devised that will detect water in places where plain common sense will not show iss presence just as well. The useiessness of the diyin ns rod Is indicated by the facts that il may be worked at will by the oper- ator. that he fails to detect strong water currents in tunnels and other. free courses that afford no surface in dications of water, and that his To- cations in regions where water flows in welldefined channels are no more successful than mere guesses In fact its operators are successful only in regions where ground water occurs In . definite sheet in porous material in such regions few failures to find water can occur. for wells can get water almost anywhere"
 The report can be obtained without charge by applying to the director Of the United States geological survey at Washington.

$3.50 per day, but Odde. as manager of
the Tonopah Mining Company, estab-

Senator Oddie stated that the South

will give them, as well as every indivi-
dual and corporation square deal-and
no more. He should endeavor, too, to
see that the S. p. kept out of politics i'll

Oddie brought out the fact that he
should also endeavor in every way to
see that the confidence in Nevada min
ing is restored, pointing out the fact
that the prosperity of the farmer de
pended largely upon the prosperity of
the mining industry.
Senator Oddie was succeeded by !. A.
Buchanan, his travelling companion.

showing that Oddie had always stood
for the square deal in public and pri-

story of Oddies and Jim Buffers deal

dreds of thousands of dollars were
freely given to the latter when they
could be legally kept, reads today like

Senator Reymers had engaged Owl

meeting which had gathered to hear

mers, the chairman of the evening,
Oddie took the audience into his conf
dence right at the start and told them
he was looking for votes-he wanted

wants especially the votes of miners,
and gave good reasons why he should
get them.

were excluded had fruit small in guam

Reno, New, Sept. II, 1910.


To II e Citizens of the State of Nevada:
Apparently some uncertainty ard
doubt exists i'll the minds OF many voters
as to the purpose and effect of that part
of the Direct Primary Law relative to
the election of the Cnited States SEN
ators.
Being candidate on the Democratic
ticket for that honorable and important
Office and seeking the suffrage and sup
port of all our citizens, | feel that it is
my duty to publicly and uneqrivocally
declare my construction and stand on
that part of the law
The Constitution OF the United States
prescribes that United States Senators
shall be elected by the State Legisla-
lures, aud the members OF legislatures
cannot be deprived OF this privilege with
out amending the constitution. Such an
amendment will undoubtedly be adopted
i'll the near future, as two-thirds of the
states of the Union have endorsed the
amendment and have requested that it
be submitted to the people. Our State
Legislature has unanimously declared in
favor of such amendment and all parties
in our State have heretofore in their
platforms demanded that United States
Senators be elected by the direct vote of
people and have pledged the members of
their respective parties to the support of
such principle.
While the Legislature cannot be de-
prived, without such amendment, of the
power of electing United States Sena-
tors, method has been provided in the
Direct Primary Law by which the people
may instruct the members of the Legis-
lature as to their choice. 1t is also pro-
vided by such law that the legislative
candidates may file with their nomina-
tion papers a statement as to whether or
not they will respect the will of the peo-
pie and vote for the peoples choice for
United States Senator. Similar pro-

"If at the ensuing general election,
either Honorable Key Pittman, Demo
cratic nominee for United States Senator,
or Honorable Judd Harris, Socialist can
didate for United States Senator shall
receive the greatest number of votes for
such Office, then | will use every honor
able means to induce every member of

Thousands Patronize Lurline

Fears that the heavy storm of Thurs
day would AFFECT the new fitering sys-
tenn of the Lurline baths, recently
opened at Bush and Larkin streets,
were dispelled yesterday, when test
of the waters showed that 1t had not
been injured in the least.
There was a doubt in our minds,

well in the face of that storm; but IT
did not make the least difference. The
filtering went on perfectly and the
waters were as clear as on the opening
day
More than 1000 persons have visited
the baths since it was opened, and the
expectations are that at the expira-

will have passed through the gates.
There has scarcely been a moment when
there was not a continual stream OF
