retained him later on, as one of its in
structors in Science.
For number of years he was field
assistant in the work of the U. S. Geo.
logical Survey, performing important
services in the oil and gas :regions in
Southern California. Under this Bu-
reau, he made geological survey and
report on the Yerington Copper District
in this state, which is an authoritative
work.
When the University of Nevada
wanted man to take charge of the
School of Mines at Virginia City. tele-
gram was sent to the University of
California to recommend a man. That
University recommended Dwight 7.
Smith. He got the position agaiest
some twenty odd applicants, and has
conducted the Nevada School of Mines
for the past six years most successfully.
He is eminently fitted for the work
needed at this time in the public schools
of Nevada, and if elected, before his
term is out. will have done everything
possible to place them on par with the
schools of any state in this Union.
Personally, Mr.. Smith is energetic
and full of enthusiasm for whatever
task he undertakes. He is in the prime
of life and vigor, with qualifications and
to make him one of the
most valuable servants of the state
now before the people.

to indnce the farmers to take the
proper care of the beets. Very few
of them planted beets earlier than June,
and there was not single case where
the beets received the treatment
usually considered necessary to the
production of high sugar content. In
spite of these handicaps, the results of
the analyses were invariably satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Hinze selected five samples
of beets at random, and took hem to
Santa Ana for analysis. The results
appear below:

Water Payments May Be Deferred.

The project of securing postpone
ment Of Truckee-Carson water charges
has been actively set under way by
Project Engineer d. w. Cole, who rec
commended recently that this be made
feature again this year. Coles recom-
mendation bore the endorsement of his
superior, Supervising Engineer E. g.
Hopson. Confirming Mr.. Coles repre-
sentations to the department was the
resolution by the local farmers assoc
citation, which was forwarded through
Mr.. Cole to the Interior Department
under date of yesterday.
Mr. Cole hopes to get response to
his efforts in this matter within the
next week or ten days. 1t will be re-
membered that last year, the innova-
tion was somewhat tardy, coming on
the eve of the date when the charges
were due, thus causing great deal of
worry on the part of local water users.

The first churning at the fine plant
of the Fallon Creamery Company oc-
cured Tuesday, at which time Manager
w. r. Robrecht turned out as fine a
lot of pure yellow creamery butter as
it has been our lot to observe. Churchill
county cows, Churchill comfy feed
and an enterprise essentially Churchill
county's were all factors in the process.
AS time goes along needed additions to
the plant will be installed. These will
doubtless include an ice making plant
before hot weather comes upon US
again, an almost necessary adjunct to
a creamery plant, where cold storage
is so necessary in the care of the prod
ucts of the creamery.

An examination of this table is fiat
tering TO the beet production of the
Truckee- Carson project. The average
sugar is higher in Nevada than at any
California factory. IT, as it seems. it
is possible TO produce beets containing
more sugar than the factories in Cali
fornia use, and there are no other un-
usual difficulties in connection with
sugar growing or manufacturing in Ne
vada, a sugar factory should prove
most profitable investment.

inches having started.
These were regarded as typical of
all the plots planted, and from the
writer's personal knowledge of the
experiments, these can not DC regarded
as above the average in condition.
Had these beets been planted in April,
as sugar beets should be planted, and
cared for as experience has demon
strated, it is likely that the sugar con-
tent would have been higner, and the
tonnage greater.
Considering all of the above analyses,
extending over a period of four years,
It is evident that it is possible to grow
first-class sugar beets in the Truckee-
Carson climate. In order to show just
how these analyses compare with those
from districts where sugar factories
are now proiitably operating, the fol-
lowing table is presented;

CHICAGO POPULATION
IS PLACED At 2,lS5,2Ss
It Is Still Safely Second City
in the Country.
EXPECTED NEARLY 100000
It's Population Grows More Slowly
Than New York's-Census Bull
letin on Cities Gains Shows
Growth in East and West Alike.

Washington.-The population OF
Chicago as announced at the bureau
Of the census is ~2,185.2S3. This
marks an increase for the last decade
OF 4S6,70S persons, or 2S.7 per cent.
The actual figures will be a great dis
appointment to C~hicagoans, who were
hoping for d population of about 81
100000. However. the Illinois city
will remain safely the second city IN
the country with a population or
about 100000 short of New York
and 100000 more than Philadelphia.
Chicago's ratio of increase has been
almost cut in half In the past ten
years. From 1890 to 1900 her in
crease was 54.4 per cent. In the
decade just ended New York's ratio
Of increase far exceeds Chicago's, be-
ing 1877 per cent, though Boston,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg show an
increase of about 10 per cent. less
than Chicago. A bulletin issued by
the bureau gives the average increase
for 20 cities with a population or
more than 100000 as 81 per cent
This makes Chicago's rate Of in-
crease about 2 per cent. below the
average fact fully explained by
her more than average size. A re-
CEN compilation of the cities of the
world puts Chicago sixth in point OF
size. with London, New York. Paris,
Toxic and Berlin ahead of her in the
order named.
In recent years there has been a
steady movement of Chicago's people
from the city into the suburbs, and
this has reduced the city's apparent
growth. 1t has taken many hundreds
Of thousands whose business and
other interests are in the city proper
into the populous communities be-
yond the corporate limits. This is
true, too, of many other of the larger
cities whose census returns have been
announced.
Comparing Chicago's growth in
population during the last ten years
with the other lake cities, Cleveland
has an increase Of 46 per cent. giving
it a fighting chance to displace Balti-
more as the sixth city in size. Mil
waukee showed an increase Of 81 per
cent, Detroit SO per cent. Buffalo,
with 20 per cent, and Toledo. with
81 per cent. increase, + both behind
Chicago.
Between 1900 and 1910 Chicago,
with 54.4 per cent. increase, out
stripped all its neighbors on the lakes.
Cleveland was able to show only 46
per cent, Buffalo 81 per cent, De-
treit only SO per cent. and Milwaukee
only 80 per cent.

Leo O'Nei1 Browne Wins.

Trenton, N. president Woodrow
Wilson Of Princeton university is the
standard-bearer of New Jersey Demo-
Gratis in this falls race for governor.
He was nominated on the first ballot
by the state Democratic convention
here after a stormy session lasting
from early morning until nearly night.
DR.. Wilson was playing golf on the
Princeton links, IL miles away, when
the chairman announced at 4:55
o'clock that he had received 74Sk
votes out of a possible 1,412, or 42R
votes more than necessary for nomin-
alton. In less than twenty minutes,
thanks to a big touring car put at his
disposal, he was in the convention
hall in this city, arousing the dele
gates to a high pitch of enthusiasm
by telling them that he accepted the
nomination and had not the slightest
doubt about his election.
Four other names were put before
the convention. They we're Frank S.
Katzenbach of this city, who received
on the first and only ballot 372
votes; ex-Mayor Hfnchliffe of Pater-

TAFT NOT D0DGING OR
SEEKING NEXT TERM
Willing to Accept if Party Desires to
Nominate Him-A False Roose.
welt Story.

Beverly, Mass.-The publication OF
a story in certain newspapers pur-
porting to come from Beverly. and
announcing that President Taft had
decided to step aside as a Presiden-
tial candidate in 1912 to make way
for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
brought many inquiries to the sum-
mer capital. For a time an official
denial was considered, but it was de-
cided not to dignity the story. which
is reported to be without foundation
whatever, with a statement.
It can be stated that there has
been no change in President Taft's
attitude toward a second term since
he told a number Of friends a few
months ago that he would accept a
second nomination IL his party de-
sired to tender it to him and II that
portion of the American people rep
resented by his party seemed to want
him.
The President, 1t is said, is not cen
sidering his chances for a second term
one way or the other at this time
From the first he has said that he
would devote himself to carrying out
| nearly as possible the pledges OF the
| platform on which he was elected fol
a four-year term. Mr.. Taft. it is
| pointed out, does not know how to
| play politics, and he has been quoted
| as saying that he would not do so II
he could. The fact that he has. often
| in his speeches referred to the fact
that he has only the remainder OF his
present term to serve, means, it Is
said here, that Mr.. Taft does not fee
| that he can nominate himself and
| that he will not make a political bio
| for the nomination.
If, at the end of his term, his party
| feels he has been true to his trus'
| and has carried out its pledges in sc
| far as he possibly could, it no doub1
would be very gratifying to the Presi
| dent to have his administration in
| dorsed. That, he feels, Is for the
country and his party to decide, MOI
himself.
Beverly's busy eason is about a
an end.

MAYOR GAYNOR'S STORY
ABOUT THE SHOOTING
In Letter to His Sister Attributes
Attacks to Hearst's Papers.
CAUSES POLITICAL SENSATION
Shooting by Gallagher Attributed DE
rectIy to Attacks of Those Sheets
That Infiamed Assassin and 9th.
er Eyil.Minded Persons.

New York.-In a letter to his sis
ter. Mary E. Gaynor of Utica, dated
September 3, Mayor Gaynor wrote
''for family record" the story of his
shooting and his sensations after Gal
lagher, the assassin, fired the shot.
The remarkable letter was published
in the Evening Post. In it the Mayor
describes infinitely how he felt after
he was shot by Gallagher, although
he does not mention Gallagher by
name in his recital of the attack on
him. He dismisses the assassin with
the passing reference that he was
told by Dock Commissioner Tomkins
he had been shot by a former employe
of the dock department. The mayor
charges the responsibility for the at
tack on him To the Hearst newspa-
pers. He does not mention W. R.
Hearst personally, but his charge
against the Hearst newspapers is TAX
en- as a direct accusation that the at
titude of Hearst toward him insti-
gated scores Of threatening letters he
received, especially when he refused
to take a stand against the moving
pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight
in Reno on last July 4. Those letters
were so menacing, he says, he was
obliged to discontinue his walks
across the Brooklyn Bridge from his
home to his Office.
The terrible cartoon" to which
Mayor Gaynor refers in his letter was
entitled "The New Barker" and was
published on the second page OF the
New York American on July 29.
1t depicted Mayor Gaynor standing
In front Of a moving picture theatre,
upon the billboards of which
represented pictures of the Jeffries-
Johnson prize tight at Reno.
The letter perhaps is the most SEN
sational document in a political sense
that has been written in many years.
1t is accepted generally that Miss
Gaynor did not give out the letter
without the knowledge and consent
of her brother, the mayor, or his ad-
visers.
