An eastbound fast fruit train was
ditched early Saturday morning at
Toy, about fifteen miles west of
Lovelock. The wreck was caused
by the breaking of an axle on a
car les the middle of the train.
At the time the train was RUM
ing at a speed of better than thirty
five miles an hour Fortunately
no n was injured. Seven freight
cars were piled up on the track and
a number of others were derailed,

dreds of yards along the right of

SENATOR NIxONS POSITION

Senator Nixon is gwen as one of
the 45 republican senators who will
stand pat in carrying out the Taft
legislative program. As the rail-
road bill is one of Taft's pet meas
ures, it might be we'll for the
people of Nevada OF watch Senator
Nixon's vote on the long and short
haul clause amendment. The bill
as originally drawn and as sup
posed by the republican leaders in
the senate was silent on this phase
of the railroad question. Several
western seniors have introduced
amendments making it illegal for
railroads to charge more per mile
per ton for a short haul than it
does for "a long haul. If either
of the amendments become law,
it will put an end to the back haul
robbery. -
hsIf Senator Nixon follows the
leadership of Elkins,, and Aldrich,
he will vote against these amend
ments and for a continuance sof the
back haul robbery of his constitn-
ents. He seems 10 be between the
devil of party regularity and the
deep sea of popular disapproval.
Where will nc land?

EXPLAINING THE SOUL

The following dialogue took place
between two very small boys on
their way home from Sunday
school:
Willie-Where is my soul?
Bobby-It isn't any plac; it's just
air.
Willie-How can it go to heaven
when it's just air?
Bobby-Why. your body goes,
too.
Willie-Bones and all?
Bobby-Yes, everything but your
clothes.

DANGER FROM THE COMET IS
REMOTE

The approach of Halley's comet
within the range of human vision,
and the practically established fact
that the earth must pass through
the tenuous tail OF the glowing
monster of the skies, renew the
troublesome question, What will
it do to u.s."
As d matter of fact. it will do
nothing except. perhaps, treat us
to the most brilliant display of fire
works ever seer in our generation.
The possibility of any more serious
result is so remote that no astron-
omer of normal mind is giving it
the slightest thought.
The possibility OF the comet being
swerved from its orbit by planetary
attractions has been reduced by
astronomers to practically exact
figures, and it is considered very
remote. And if perchance, some
other great body in our solar system
should attract the comet for a time
and cause it to swing several million
miles from the path mapped out,
it would only mean that, by the
time the sun had drawn it back to
the original orbit, the earth would
have sped millions of miles into
space and have progressed far be
yond all possible danger. Spect-
roscopic analysis of the matter in
the comets tail, shows the presence
of deadly gases as well as other
gases which, in combination with
u atmosphere, would produce a
most dangerous confiagration.
When it is recalled, however, that
all the matter in the million of
miles of tail could be packed in q
room of ordinary size, the absurd
ity of supposing that it can harm
Us at a distance of Is, 1000, 900. miles
is apparent.
Halley's comet has passed the
earth regularly for centuries-per-
haps for millions of years so far as
we can tell. Undoubtedly our
planet has passed through the tail
many times in all the aeons, just as
it is known to have plunged
through the tail of countless other
comets.
Halley's comet therefore, will
not harm us. We may see brilliant
meteoric showers and aurora dis
plays, but that is all. At 9 O'Clock
on the night of May Is we shall
begin the journey through the tail.
And at 8 o'clock the next morn
ing we shall be back at our work,
and the timid will congratulate
themselves that the comets bust
ness in the outer realms of space
will keep IL busy for the next
Ueventy-fve ears.-Exchange.

NEVADA'S GREAT
MINERAL WEALTH

II is only when the actual official
figures of the mineral output of Ne
vada are brought to the eyes of the
people that realization is had of the
wonderful resources of this state.
Figures do not lie. and in the case
of an official statement it is more
probable that the output was
greater than the figures given,
than the contrary. For the year
1909 approximately $25, 900, 600 in
gold, silver and copper were taken
from the rugged hills. This am
cunt is so much added to the wealth
of not only Nevada, but the world.
and it is practically indestructible.
Over $50, 000, 900 were paid out to
reap the harvest and the state itself
is richer by over Of n quarter of n
million in the sum total of the
tax imposed. II will be noted by
examining the detailed statements
that there is n steady increase.
The last month is appreciabIy
greater than those preceding and
the first three moaths of the
present year. it is calculated that
production for 1910 will be in.
