THE OFFICIAL GUESSER
On Weight Of Salmon for Uncle Sam
Loses His Job.

Huckspnri, Me. Jun" S.-Thc official
emcss4r for the United States gov
ernment has lost his iob. For airs the
government has bought live salmon
upon the good eve. OF :; veteran fish
ernan who took a saullt Z; each fish
ard chen put down in lis book what
ne guessed t. be the right weight.
The bills we've paid accordingly,
thousands If dollars Every Year the
government l:uys from 500 I" 1890 live
salmon Tor breeding, ti'Gin the Weir
owners on the Bucksport Verona. Or
land and Penobscot waters. The price
paiG is the market rate. from 20 70 80
cents a pound. With 81 cents bonus
for each fish. for the trouble Of keeping
them alive.
To get at the exact weight of live
salmon is practically impossible, for
it is very delicate work at best in
dipping them from the pound in the
weirs t. the car" which is an old
dcry filed With water. carefully lined
with cotton flannel and covered with a
canvas The utmost caution IS neces-
Sary FOR in the SpTing the salmon is
strangely delicate.
50 it is that weighing them is en-
:ircly cut Of the question The govern
ment has for years hired veteran
fisherman to make the rounds OF the
weirs on the little power boat ana keep
account of the fish. All the man had to
go by was his Judgment. but he could
tell by glance at a fish. even in the
semi darkness of the car, about what 1t
would Weigh--10 ~ IA or perhaps 10
or Is pounds 1t was guessing, but by
wears of experience in handling hsh
he could guess very near. At any rate,
lis Guessing was accepted for years
BY the fishermen who sold the hSh as
wen as by tn" government.
Perhaps the government otllclals IN
Washington didn't approve Of paying
ont money w guess. Whatever may
have been the conclusion. the govern
mcnt sueSScr has lost his job. Here |

ONE POSITIVE BENEFIT.
Cold Weather Wipes Out Entire
Colonies Of Brown Tail Moths,

Boston. June S.-The cold and back
ward weather prevailing in this Sec
ton of the country for the past month
has produced one positive benefit-the
determination of hundreds of millions
Of brown-tail moths. In many cases it
has developed that entire colonies Of
the leaf eating pests have been wiped
out. The tent caterpillar also have
heen largely reduced.
1t is estimated that this will result
in a saving Of several thousand dol
lars in the annual spring fight against
the brOwn-tails in New England.

CAPITOL BUILDING
FAR TOO SMALL

The capitol of the State of Neva-
da is far too small to house the
many officers that have become
necessary for the welfare of the
state and as a consequence a
number of them will have to vacate
to make room for the legislature
which will soon convene.
Quarters have been found for
the Railroad Commission in the
visrra building, adjoining the
Park Theater and the commission
will move there at once.
Offices adjacent to the capitol
will have to be found for the State
Auditor, Mining Inspector and
State Banking Commission as the
Offices now used by these officers
will be needed during the legis-
lature.
1t means that the coming legis-
lature will have to take steps to
enlarge the capitol as it is far too
small for the needs of the state.
The Assembly and Senate cham
bers are far too small for the
meetings and give no room FOR the
members and none whatever for
the people who desire to attend
the sessions of the law makers

IN Line FOR
THE PRESIDENCY

AT Sheridan few evenings ago,
story teller's club was organized
and DIR. Southworth was made an
honorary member. After many
whoppers had been reeled off to the
delight of all, the youngest MEM
Der said that he spent last winter
in Norway. 1t got SO cold in the
town where he stayed that it was
impossible to bury the dead so they
shapened the feet of the departed
and drove them into the ground
with pile driver.
The doctor pulled his chair a
little closer to the stove and lit a
nickle cigar. "It gets colder than
that in Bodie" said he after the
cigar got to going. "Last winter
the hotel at which l was stopping
caught on fire and my only ave
nue. OF escape was to jump from a
third story window. At this stage
of the excitement, a happy thought
came to me. 1 poured the water
from my bath out of the window
and it instantly froze into an icicle
and | slid down it and to safety"
Someone stirred up the fire and
it is reported that before the meet
ing adjourned the Doctor was
mentioned as a likely candidate
for president of the club.

MARKETS GOOD
IN this STAET

Thanksgiving will be celebrated
In the proper spirit by the farmers
OF western Nevada, for their
harvest Twas bountiful and the
market good.
J. M. Fulton, district freight and
passenger agent for the Southern
Pacific company, states that the
farmers in the Lovelock, Fallon
and Reno districts have sold prac.
tieally all their hay and at good
prices. Little of it will be meved,
but will be fed on the ground by
the purchasers.
At the three points named and
in Carson and Mason Valleys there
are now being fed over 10000 head
of beef cattle and about 10000
head OF sheep for the winter
market.
The settlers on the irrigation
project are particularly fortunate
that the demand for hay has been
so strong. They will not only
reap profit on alfalfa but will re-
ceive pay for feeding tho cattle
during the winter. This arrange
ment tides the settlers over the
last year of their struggle and it is
now clear sailing for practically
all of them.
The potato and onion crop in
western Nevada is large and the
demand is strong. Thus far about
seventy carloads OF potatoes have
been moved and there are over 500
carloads still to go out, says the
Gazette.
The onion crop amounts to be-
tween seventy and n n ity C trloads
but has not yet begun TO move.
Both these staples grown in Me-
vada are SO superior to those pro
duced in California that the price
10 greater by the amount OF freight
charl ed, thus affording splendid
profit to the growers. The South
ern Pacific makes a very low rate
on all these commodities, as il
does on all Nevada products that
are marketed on the outside.

GOOD SIGNS
FOR BUCKSK|N
new RAILROAD
OFFERS SALUTlON
Will Furnish Cheap Transportation
OF Copper Ore to Mason
Valley SemIter

Buckskin, the mining camp that
is divided by the line between this
and Lyon county, will yet be
numbered with the producing
camps OF the state, is ths opinion
OF mining men in touch with the
situation. Although things have
been quiet there Of late and the
population of the camp has de.
creased, work has gone right a.
long on two of the leading prop.
critics. Copper deposits, even
richer than those OF the famous
Ludwig, and extensive beyond all
knowledge, have been opened up
The long wagon and rail haul to
a smelter, has kept dozens OF
properties in Buckskin from pro
ducing ore ard returning hand
some profits to the owners.
What was never dreamed of one
year ago is reality today and a
railroad is being built to the very
portals OF this camp. To be ex-
act, to the Ludwig mine. Th,
main purpose of the road is tc
haul ore from that famous mine to
big smelter that is being bull
down in Mason Valley. Thi,
railroad and the nearby reduotior
plant promises to be Buckskin'i
salvation. The mines can furnish
a large tonnage of copper ore anc
will assist in making a financia
success of the Copper Belt road
Many mining districts in Neva-
da today are inactive for the wan
of economical shipping facilities
This is especially true of copper
district where the ore must bt
smelted. Those who have invested
heavily in developing ground al
Buckskin are greatly interested in
the recent trend of events and car
see a bright future for that camp
