PRIMARY LAWS HARDSHIpS
Will Be Corrected By Next Leg
islature, According To Car
son Appeal.

Since the application of the new Pri-
mary Law has been in the hands of the
voters the defects of the law are COM
ing to the front. Some time ago The
Appeal stated that it believed that the
law would need amending and trimming.
Several of the state papers are frying
the matter out intelligently with the
result that it is found that objections
to some of the features of the primary
plan will be presented to the Legisla-
ture for amendment.
Probably the greatest objection at
the present time is the swearing to
support candidate on the petition that
is circulated by the verifcation agent.
The result of the oath has caused many
of the best citizens to absolutely re-
fuse to afiix their signatures to any
candidates paper. The verifcation Off
Ger in many cases is compelled to ask
the would-be signer how he stands po-
litlcally. As this is is a day of free
thinking and often the candidates per-
sonality and not his political partisan
ship is the recommendation for Office, the
voter naturally declines to make his
choice known to the verifcation officer,
and some rough tangles have been near
the surface in consequence.
There is also objection to the law
from the fact that it is virtually q
three-campaign matter when candi.
date makes money campaign on the
signature contest. After securing the
required number of votes he will be
compellei to make another spending
campaign for his nomination. n-often en-.
deavoring to defeat his best friend on
the same party lines. After his nom.
ination there is another campaign.
On top of this there is county fee,
a fee to the verification officer and ex-
penses that were not in vogue under
the old law
This is but two objections to the pres.
ent status of the law. 1t is probable
that others will come to light as the
progresses and the Legisla-
ture can easily eliminate the flaws and
make law that will fit the population.
The main trouble with the present law
is that it was framed to fit densely pop
lated states, it should be trimmed down
to the size of Nevada. Carson Appeal.

Marriage of Well Known Young
Folks.

A quiet wedding, uniting two of Fa!-
Ions most popular and estimable young
folks, occurred at the home of George
Burton Wednesday afternoon of last
week at three o'clock, when Miss Mabel
Trolson, daughter of Judge and Mrs.
A. M. Trolson, of near Leetville, became
the bride of Clyde V. Taylor, formerly
an assistant engineer in charge of a
construction unit of this project, but
now successful leaser on the Nevada
Hills mining ground at Fairview. JUS
tice of the Peace T. A. Jones pronounced
the words that united the happy couple,
the ceremony being strictly private.
Immediately following the wedding,
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor left for Fairview,

WESTERN MEAT co. BUYS HAY
Way Com George Likes % ~~ ~~ edAm Roma
A
Contracts For 700 Tons and
5000 Tons Are De-
sired.

The Western Meat Company contract
ed Thursday for seven hundred tons of
alfalfa from County Commissioner T..
p. McLane and Fred Branch, through
the agency of w. w. Williams, who
says the company wants three thu US
and tons of hay in this valley altogether
The price agreed upon is IL cents per
head of beef stock and five cents per
day for paqturage This, it seems now,
will be the ruling price for hay fed,
and it is claimed to be fair figure.
In addition to the price received for
the hay which is between $500 and
500, is the proceeds from pasturage,
and then there is the value that comes
from feeding the hay on the ground,
which is considerable.
Senator Williams thinks il will be no
trick at all to have ten thousand head
of beef stock wintered in this great
valley if the hay raisers will get toge-
ther and make preparations for feeding
them. He is using his utmost influ-
ence in inducing cattle owners to come
here, and it was largely through his
efforts that the feed in transit rate was
accorded Fallon. This rate saves
something like a dollar per head on
took shipped in and out of this valley,

State Mine Inspector Ryan Pas. es
Through Fallan.

Ed Ryan, state mine inspector pas
SCI through Falon yesterday on his
Nay 10 Fairview and Wonder on officia1
business. Mr.. Ryan has been in Office
but nine months, but during this per-
iod, his work has been of such a chars
acter that his nomination by the DEM
ocratic party, an honor to which he as
pires, seems the only logical course
left open for the Democratic voters of
the state. Mr. Ryan is practical
mine worker, having followed the vo-
cation for 10 years and bis knowledge
of mines is such that he is in position
to return to the state the best possible
results. Since assuming his position,
he has succeeded in materially lower
ing the rate of mine accidents. The
law authorizing the office of mine in
spector, makes it mandatory than an
incumbent of the office shall have had
seven years experience as a mine
worker.
Mr.. Ryan interviewed a number Of
the local democrats and made a good
impression. He is clean-cut, aggres-
sive type of gentleman, whom this pap
er feels safe in unreservedly recon-
mending to its readers.

A GOOD SUNDAY BALL GAME |
Reno Ramblers Defeated Again
On Local Diamond At
ter Hard Contest.

The Reno-Fallon ball game at the To-
cal ball park Sunday was worth the
price paid and then some. The features
were SO many that complete mention
would be impossible, but the chet had
to do with the closeness of the score
which stood five to four in favor OF the
home team, after Falon s mighty swat
ters had done their best, and the
game was good, chiefly because the
home team won. And the home team
won because it played rings around the
boys from the divorce colony. At that
it was anybody's game up to the end
of the first half of the ninth inning
when the Reno boys had completed
their futile efforts. AT the outset things
looked bad for Fallon. Reno was pre-
sented with three scores in the first
half of the first inning, all on mis-
cues and bobbles and again in the
third inning did another Reno baseball
gladiator cross the home plate, feat
made possible by bad pegs by Fallon'
infeld, which by the way was slightly
off color and did not shine so conspicu-
ously as Reno's fielders, who threw
better and felded quicker than the To-
cal boys, taking the afternoons per-
formance as whole to judge from.
The work of the alfalfa kids, George
Johnson, in the box, and Earl johnson,
behind the bat, was particularly good,
the throwing of Earl johnson being
real feature. Time and again
base stealers were nipped at the Sec
ond and third bags by heady work and
true throwing by the catcher. Once at
third, a baserunner was nabbed by
clever swing at first by Earl Johnson that
somehow let the ball into Birch's hands
on third, and before the runner, who
was off the base but few feet knew
what was up he was tagged. George
Johnson started off bad in the beginning
but pitched better as the innings pro-
gressed and when the runs were most
needed by Reno the invading batsmen
were swinging their noodles off at a
fine dandy in-drop that made them
hump their backs and look very foolish.
Little J eff, who shows up with the
same degree of precision as one A.
Mutt, was worn down by the Ramblers'
manager as a watch charm to save

Saltwater Farmers Meet With Nevada
Sugar Company Representatives

General Manager Fred Hinze, Secre-
tary George Likes and Thomas Dolf,
director, of the Nevada Sugar Company,
made the trip to Saltwater Friday, in
order to be present at a meeting of the
farmers of the Saltwater district con-
vened on the afternoon of that day
The meeting occurred in the old county
court house, and was quite generally
attended by the farmers of the district
who were presided over by c. p. Cirac.
Rapid fire questioning was the order Of
the afternoon and a more perfect UNDER
standing was had between the farmers
of the district and the men behind the
beet sugar factory. The matters of
raising beets, transporting them to the
factory and various other questions
were talked over and it is pretty well
determined that the Saltwater district
Is to be one of the heaviest supporters
of the Nevada Sugar Company.
The officers of the sugar company
will go over the valley from time to
time with the purpose in view of culti-
waiting beet raising sentiment.

w. II. webber Nearly Loses His Life

w. II. Webber, general manager of
the Nevada Hills Mining Company, met
with an accident at Fairview Friday
morning, while assisting Professor A.
c. Lawson, geologist in the University
of California, in geological research,
that might have terminated fatally,
had not kind fate interyened in his be-
half. Together with the professor,
Mr.. Webber was tracing an ore vein on
the Cyclone group of claims and they
were descending ladder leading down
into winze thirty-five feet in depth.
Believing the ladder, which is only fif-
teen feet in length, led to the bottom of
the winze Mr.. Wehber never slackened
in the descent and lost his hold, drop
ping twenty feet into the bottom Of the
winze. A broken arm, a dislocated ell
bow and numerous bruises in addition
to general shaking up was suffered.
Quickly gaining consciousness, Mr..
Webber directed Professor Lawson TO
a nearby property where a ladder of
sufficient length was secured, and
he was assisted back to the tunnel
and safety. Directly following Mr..
WebbeI al the time of suffering the
fall was the geologist, who barely saved
hi mself from roppin &
into the bottom of the winze. Had
this occurred, they would likely have
suffered before help which was two
miles distant, would have found them
in their predicament.
First aid was rendered Mr. Webber
at Fairview by DR.. G. l.. Servoss, fol-
lowing which the Kent auto brought
them to Fallon where Drs. Gardner
and Servoss attended to the broken
and dislocated bones. Sunday
morning the George Wingfield auto
was driven down and returned with Mr..
Weber who will recuperate in Reno
from his injuries. Certainly, in view
of the circumstances Webber's es-
cape from death was miraculous.

1910 GOVERNMENT CENSUS
Well Under Way And Com
plete Figures Will Be Dis
closed in October.

Ii will be about the middle of De-
tober before the people of the United
States learn their true number as re-
vealed by the count of the 18th CEN
sus. II is generally believed that the
number will be about ninety million
and census officials are known to share
this belief.
About 300 of the more than 1900
clerks in the census Office are compil-
ing population figures only, while the
others are working On other statistics.
Contrary to the general opinion, all the
counting Of the people is done by hand,
the tabulatihg machines being used
only in classification as to race, sex,
and other conditions.
Enumeration figures will continue to
be given out day by day for the next
two months or more. while the social
ogical and industrial figures will come
later. All enumeration figures are
counted, three or four times, an an in
vestlgation Is ordered if there is any
suggestion of an error.
In two cities where evidence of fraud
has been discovered, and in one, Great
Falls, Montana, prosecution has been
undertaken for fraudulent enumeration.
The intention Of Director Durand is
to tabulate first the population of the
large cities, after which the figures for
the states will be given out as they are
ascertained, the returns for all counties
in the state being announced at the
same time as the figures for the stats.

GRAY HAIRS BaNISHED.

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
seyenty-hve, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used to make a Sage
tea" and apply it to their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy
and gradually restored the natural
color. One objection to using such a
preparation was the trouble of making
it, especially as it had to be made
every two or three days on account of
it souring quickly This objection has
been overcome, and by asking almost

FOREIGNERS SAFE IN
REVOLTS OF CHINA
Missionary Advises Powers to
Keep Hands Off

According to Rev. E. F. Tatum,
Baptist missionary, who arrived yes
terjay from China, the foreigners IN
the Celestial Kingdom are in little
danger from the revolving natives SO
long as the powers keep their hands
off. Tatum is a teacher in the Baptist
seminary at Shanghai, and when he
left there, he said yesterday, there
was much unrest in the land.
The trouble, he says, is anti dynastlc.
and had its origin in the scarcity of
rice and the universal poverty of the
people. who blame the rulers for their
sufferings. AT Chang Chow. in Human,
about 600 miles from Shanghai, there
was heavy rioting before he left. The
rioters killed scores of Chinese, includ-
ing a large number of officials, but
did not modest any foreigners. In
fact, they issued a notice to the erect
that the foreigners had nothing to
fear so long as the powers took no
hand in putting down the revolt
The rioters wrecked the Seventh
Day Adventist mission about 40 miles
from Chang Chow, but did no harm
to the lone missionary stationed there.
They were prevented from burning the
wrecked mission by the arrival of Chi
nese troops

COURT GRANTS
RUFF BRIEF STAY
Arch CRATER Must justify His
Liberty on Wednesday or
Lose 1t

Abe Ruef has been granted until
Wednesday to explain why he shouldn't
be in JAIL He has been engaged in
TINS pastime with more or less sue
cess during most of the last five years.
For the present emergency he must
produce something satisfactory to
Judge Lawlor. Ruef's last resort has
always been the state of his health.
1t was his i'll health. he asserted upon
one occasion, that led him into bribery.
IT was his i'll health, he publicly an
nounced, that led him to confess his
sins. 1t was his i'll health. he later
insisted, that should acquit him of his
crimes.
Ruef appeared before Judge Lawlor
Yesterday morning to answer to the
judicial summons With him were
Major West, the remnant of his once
gallant army; Thomas B. Dozier and
George keane, his political and per-
sonal attorneys. and Charles Haggerty,
his faithful clerk. Ruef sat in his
accustomed seat, few PAGES from
the spot where Francis Heney fell.
Attorney Dozier opened the proceed
the holidays. He stated that he was
unfamiliar with the issue and offered
to forego his holiday to perfect him
self in the intricacies of the law "in
the interests of the people and my
client"
Judge Lawlor thereupon reviewed the
history of the case and set the hear
ing for next Wednesday. He took oc-
casion to pronounce as false allega :
tions made by Ruef in his petition
bearing upon the preparation of the
transcript. Continuing, he said:
There is only one matter to con-
slider in the case of an applicant for
bail after his conviction on a felony
charge, and that is if some eXtraordi
nary circumstance has arisen. The
court has not interfered with the ex-
listing order pending the completion of
the appeal. With the completion of
that appeal, the court has proceeded as
it sees it's duty. The defendant has
therefore been given opportunity to
present his showing. Mr.. Otto Wise
addressed me saying that he planned
TO be absent from the city for two
weeks. He asked me IL l would be
willing to postpone the action that
long. 1 said, No. The judge will
give the defendant full opportunity to
present his case and for that reason
postponement is ordered until We'd
nesday morning. I desire that the
showing shall be made orally"
1t will be necessary, therefore, for
Ruef to produce the physicians who
are to testify in his behalf.
