The Billion" Record

This is the was Congress has direct
ed the billion dollars and more it has
appropriated at the recent session shall
be spent. 1t is impossible, at this
stage to give an exact statement on
each of the big appropriation bills, and
the amount of continuing appropriations
is necessarily only an estimate, but the
sums here given for the appropriation
have been figured as carefully as posi-

other years. Following are the bills

He is a man of education and
training, being graduate of the
University of California and a
successful teacher. At present he
is Principal of the Virginia School

probably no school in the state

Mr.. Smith is man who has a
very practical turn of mind. He
is no theorist, but a man OF COM

moral man. He is not politician
and will be under obligations to no
one, if elected. He is eminently
fitted to inspire and give conf

Voters will not misplace conf

EARTHQUAKE
IS FELT HERE

Carson Valley, or at least that
portion of it adjacent to Gardner
vile, has been visited by a series
of earthquakes during .he past two
weeks and from the fact that no
other localities on the coast have
been similarly visited, it makes
the occurranee purely local one.
Thus far every shock has been
felt during the early hours of
morning. The last shock was
felt Tuesday morning. Each
disturbance has been very short
but sharp and usually followed IN
twenty minutes or half an hour by
a second shake.
When the first shake was felt
two weeks ago, Geo. Brown was at
a wood camp in Pine Nut. He was
awakened from his sleep. The
second shock set the pots and pans
to dancing on the table and he
was then positive that it was real
earthquake.
Dozens of people about town
have reported feeling these numer-
Gus disturbances of the earth's
surface and their repeated occur
rance is not the fallacy of any one
person.

IS INSTALLING
ELECTRIC POWER

The machinery and churns at
the Douglas County Creamery will
be operated by electricity within a
few days. A crew OF linemea are
now setting poles and stringing
wire from Minden to the creamery,
a distance of about a mile and a
half, the route selected being
through the H. H. Springmeyer

The installation Of electric power
has been under the consideration
of the creamery official for some
time. Power is one of the heaviest
items of expense and the amount
that can be saved by replacing the
steam power by electricity will be
of no small magnitude.
The wires from Minden to the
creamery will carry a voltage Of

diuhiiu Ildll was tuo SCouo
Wednesday evening of one of the
m )st enthusiastic rallies ever seen
in the history of Douglas county.
George Springmeyer was the
first speaker of the evening and
received a tremendous ovation.
On the important questions con-
cerning the selection of Attorney
General, he said in part:
at has been said by some of the
opposition press that l am linked
hand and glove with the railroad
interests of this state. This state
msnt l wish emphatically to deny.
l want it clearly understood that
every dollar of money spent by
me during the primaries was
Springmeyer money; and that
every dollar of money spent by me
during the present campaign is
Springmeyer money. l owe
allegience to no individual or
corporation nor will /, if elected,
allow any individual or corpora
tion to run my Office. l fully rea-
lie the Importance of the Office of
attorney general, and believe that
| am qualified to handle the
multitudinous duties attached to
that office. II elected, | can give
you the assurance that II shall do
everything in my power to pro-
mote the interests of the people of
the State of Nevada. / shall keep
my pre- election promises to the
letter, despite anything that may
be said to the contrary"
Here Mr.. Springmeyer took up
that plank in the Republican
platform that deals with railroads.
He showed it to be for the pro-
fiction of the residents of Nevada,
specifically and emphatically.
Showing wherein it pledged its
candidate for Attorney General to
work for the re-appointment of the
present railroad commission, al
though Democratic. This is be-
cause the commission has done SO
much good and is not political in
any sense of the word.
He appealed to the voters to
forget party lines and support
those candidates who sre working
to secure better conditions for he
people of this state.
From the way he was oheered
throughout his speech, it is evident
that he will poll a heavy vote in
this county.
VIM. Easton, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, was the next
speaker, and in few we'll chosen
words, solicited the support of the
voters.
The next candidate to speak was
that grand old man, VIM. Nc
MILAN, whom Douglas county
gave big majority twelve years
ago when he ran for governor.
He asked for a repitition of the
occurrance in his candidacy for

NEW PHASE
IN BANK CASE

The hearing of Receiver Wildes
against the directors OF the State
B,nk d Trust Co., which has been
going along at steady Jog and
which promises to continue for
many weeks TO come, has taken a
sudden turn that has set the at
torneys lin the case at variance
'and has placed new phase on the
case. The attorneys for G. 1.
nd-r an George Mipas filed a
u p.tition directed TO Receiver Wilds
IN which they as two of the direct
ors of the State Bank d Trust Co.,
offer to pay the Gum OF 1000
each tn the receiver OF the institu-
lion if they are relieved Of all liti-
CATION in the matter. The terms
OF payment are recited in the peti
ton aud the document is partially
recpmmend' d by Rfepiver Wildes.

at sen and they could look forward
10 IA decided complication of
answers aud arguments in their
future deiense OF their respective
C tents IN the matter.
Judge Llngan took the matter
up by sta ing that he contidered
the matter one OF greatest charact-
er and on that would need his at
tentiou to determine, not ouiy as
matter OF law in ilsalf but the
counter effect it might have on the
present suit pending against the
defendents in the main action. 1t
was evident thatihe judge was not
going to take any snap judgement
in the issue
Attorney Pick, representing Mr..
Hickey, argued that the petition
would without doubt affect his
course of procedure in connection
with the case ut trial He asked
that the Judge set diy for hear
ing the d iitlon OF Messrs. Bender
and Maprs as be w's convinced
that ths must be out OF the way

case could come up.
Attorney Mack for the receiver,
rec pgnzed the Importance OF the
document, vet he believed that the
case "a an issue could proceed, as
it would prevent delay and the
fact that only onr-eighth OF the
testimony was in. he thought that
it should he given consideration.
Attorney Platt stated Mt this point
that all of his answers and plead
ings would have to be amended.

regareine his candidacy and was
well received.
Jacob Eggers, candidate for
state controller, in short address,
spoke right from the shoulder,
asked the people of this county for
unanimous support, stating that if
reelected he would give the Office
the benefit of his previous exper-
fence in Office.
Chas. Watson, who for twenty
years has been actively engaged in
mining, and knows every branch
of the business like book, asked
for the support of the voters for
mine inspector, not because he was
on the Republican ticket but be-
cause he was qualified TO fill the
office.
Senator II. V. Morehouse, the
most convincing and eloquent
speaker to visit Gardnerville dur
ing this campaign, was the last
orator, AMI like those who spoke
before him, did not allow one
word to cross his lips against the
opposing candidates. He said in
part after his Introductory re-
marks:
"Now, my friends, l am going to
tell you why l am going to vote
for Geo. S. Nixon for two reasons
one political, the other personal.
1t is historic fact that no senator
serving his first term is permitted
to hold the craftsmanship of any
important committee. 1t matters
not how brilliant man he may be
this is custom which has BEEN
maintained for the past century.
l; Nixon is returned he can OBJ
tain the craftsmanship of two very
important committees, that of the
irrigation of arid lands and of the
committee on mines and mining.
All of you must realize how i'm
portant these committees are to a
state more than two-thirds of
which is at present an arid waste.
How we will have an ardent ad-
vocate at all times vigiIant in our
interests, who will bend every ef-
fort to bring to pass extensive de.
velopments in the mining and
other interests" Here he gave his
personal reason. He told of the
failure of the State Bank and the
Nye & Ormsby County banks.
How at Goldfeld he had witnessed
men and women in all walks of
life lined up in front of these two
banks struggling to get their saw
ings. The doors were closed and
they were defrauded out of their
hard earned savings. How on the
opposite side of the street the Nix
on bank paid every depositor in
full, and was made possible by
Mr.. Nixon placing his personal
fortune of over one million dollars
behind the bank.
In all, it was the oleanest politi-
cal meeting ever held here, and is
admitted thus by the Democrats.
The floor was cleared and a
social dance was given in honor of
the candsdates.

Blind" Numbers Of women's Shoes.

OiiHd iNbf1uCTS VI WOTIICn SHOCS.
A trade journal says: "A movement
was recently started by shoe manufac-
turers to begin putting the correct
number on women's shoes. like they
used to do, but the retail shoe dealer
justly objected. Almost all womens
shoes you buy now have blind" or
secret numbers which no one can tell
but the merchant and his clerks. The
reason for using blind numbers is all
women are so vain they will not buy
shoes large enough for them II they
know the number. A woman whom
No. ) fits wants a three, and will buy
no other II she knows 1t, and so on
with the different sizes. This gave re-
tail merchants no little trouble until
blind numbers were used, and is the
cause of nearly all women having
corns on their feet. The way shoes
are numbered now, If woman asks
for a No. the merchant usually shows
her about four and a half, and 1t fits:
still the woman thinks she is buying
three. The use of blind numbers
has saved merchants and clerks a lot
of worry, and If the use Of them is
kept up for a long number of years, it
is believed that women win quit hav.
ing corns on their feet"
