The close of the earthhly career

many years the honored leader in
this state; ut the great cause of
education or which he gave the
best years of his life: and to the
state of Nevada which he hat
served so nobly during so long a
period of time. He was a man of

LOW WATER At WASHOE Lake

The effects Of the unusual dry
season in this section of Nevada is
shown atWa.hoe Lake. The lake
at the present time is lower by
several feet than in many years.
Hunters who have been tramping
the ponds and sloughs for the past
years report less water in teh tules
than every before in their
memory. Ponds that always
furnished plenty of food for the
the feathered tribe are practically
dry which has also caused the
destruction of large number of
fish. Unless there is a storm soon
there will be further loss of the
fish Of the lake.
At Little Washoe where there
has always been a good b"dy of
water the lake is almost dry. 1t
is possible for the hunter to wade
this pond. The outlet leading
down Pleasant Valley is as dry as a
bone. Usually before this time of
the season there is a bountiful rain
which raises the waters of the lake
and furnishes feed and water for
the fish and game birds.
In spite of this condition at
Washoe lake Carson river is
flowing a fair stream and at no
time has the channel been dry as
has happened on other occasions.
A good storm would right matters
both in Washoe Valley and other
points along the water ways of
western Nevada.-Carson Appeal.

THE WAY THEY WORK IT

1T is managed this way: Mr..
Cannon and the leaders make up
a list of the congressmen..that have
been especial y serviceable to them.
This means the men in congress-
who do just as they are told, vote
exactly as directed, and can be
depended on at all times in any
emergency. Of course, these are
the men the trusts and others of
the privileged class want back,
so they go to them and say.
"'Mr. So-and-So, how do you
stand in your district What ere
your chances of being elected
AGAIN.
Now, Mr.. So-and.So is from
an inland district where the
insurgent feeling is strong, and he
knows his people don't approve
his voting constantly with, by, and
for Cannon and those he represents.
So he expresses his doubts and
fears, and is asked if he doesn't
want postoffice building for one
of the largest cities in his distrit,
or if there isn't river somwhere
that could be dredged out so the
turtles and catfish would have
better navigation, or if he couldn t
use an appropriation for park or
reserve of some kind or a few
thousand dollars to drain an old
swamp.
IF he is from a coast district
he can have a lighthouse or two
and some lifesaving stations, with
postoffies, habor dredgings, river
Improvements, Indian schools, and
perhaps fort or TWO thown in as
they seem to be needed. So these
items are included in the appropri-
atoms and go though like creased
lightning.
"Then the candidate for re-
election is all right, no matter how
he vo ed on the tariff, rules COM
mittee, postal savings banks, or
anything else He has the dope
to bunco the people with and he
proceeds to bunco them. He sends
out press reports to the news
papers that he knows he can use,
because they are as easily buncoed
as any one. telling what he had
done for the district, how much
money he has secured for the
district, what great improvements
he has won for the district, and
how deserted and ruined the
district would be without him.
This the puny editor enlarges upon,
drawing heavily on his handbook
of superlatives, and closes by
pleading with our readers to
work their toe-nails off for Mr..
So-and-So, that he may be sent
back to congress to continue the
GOOD work." -Ukiah (Cal.) Times.

FAR REACHING FRAUDS

The census frauds are very far
reaching. not only in the number
of cities and states where the frauds
are said to have. been perpetrated,
but from the undermining of the
structure of representative govern
ment. Fraud in one city in a state
may give that state an additional
congressman and an additional vote
in the electoral college. When
frauds are prevalent in many
states the number of fraudulent
extra congressman and electoral
votes is magnified.
When congress makes a new
apportionment for state represent
alton in congress and the electoral
college. it often happens that a
small increase of inhabitants would
add another congressman and
elector. because if just enough
fraudulent inhabitants are counted
it would make a majority fraction
of what the apportionment is :.
The state of Washington may have
100000 bona fide inhabitants, so
that if the apportionment is fixed
at 205,000 inhabitants for each
congressional district the state
would be entitled to their con-
gresham with fraction of $4,000
remaining. But as only majority
fractions are entitled to represent
alton, that large fraction would be
of no effect as to congressional
representation or electoral vote.
But supposing that Seattle and
Tacoma, let alone other towns, by
fraud add $4,000 to the count, the
fraction would be increased to
101.00U, which would entitle the
state of Washington to four con-
gre2smen instead of three and six
electoral votes instead of five.
You see the senatore count as well
as the congressman in the electoral
college.
Now, it is quite possible that
one extra congressman would, if
the election were close. allow the
republicans to organize congress,
and one extra electoral vote would
decide the presidency. Therefore,
it is very necessary that all of
these census frauds be investigated
and a new census be taken, if
necessary, before any new appor.
tionment shall be made by con-
gress.
1t is rather suspicious that near
ly all Of these census frauds are in
republican states; and knowing, as
we do, that like frauds were
attempted and some Of them
counted on former occasions, it
naturally makes democrats fear
the like again. There are good
reasons to believe that frauds have
been committed in Philadelphia, for
there have already been numerous
schedules returned more than once
by the census Office to that city for
changes and explanations. -
1t is very doubtful If there has
been an honest census since the
war, and 1t is time there was; for
the democrats do not intend to be
counted out by frauds without de-
termined opposition. One of the
first things for the next congress
to do, If it is controlled ly the
democrats, will be to investigate
