GRADY ANSWERS MURPHY

That He Is Out OF Race.
WILL GO BEFORE CAUCUS
Split in Tammany Delegation
Predicted If His Claims
Are Rejected.

Visions Of a big row in Tanmany Hall
and among the Democratic members Of the
Legislature, with periodic fireworks in the
Senate during the coming session, were I'M
folded yesterday when Senator Thomas z.
Grady repudiated the statement Of Charles
F. Murphy, leader OF Tammany Hall. that
Senator Grady had voluntarily taken him
self out Of the race for President pro tenn
pore Of the Senate. The Senator declared
that he was. he always had beeu a can
dfdate for the honor, and would offer his
services in that capacity to the Democratic
caucus. If they were not accepted he
would consider himself free lance. One
thing was certain-he would not resign his
seat.
The statement of Senator Grady was is
sued from the Office of the Order ot Eagles,
In West 42d street. of which the Senator is
the Grand Worthy President But Sen
ator Grady was not TO be seen, and his
friends were of the opinion that he was not
in town, or at least was keeping out of
sight
The statement was as follows:
'I am certain that Mr.. Murphy never
uttered or authorized the statement that L
said that would not consent to accept any
position in the Senate which would take
up all of my time, for the all-suhcient
reason that such a statement would be
absolutely untrue
.'.rhe only foundation there could bV for
such statement would be my oft repeated
declaration. not only to gentlemen proni-
nent IN Democratic circles, but as well TO
a number of my colleagues, that after
having been honored consistently and
unanimously six times by my Democratic
associates in the Senate with their nouina-
ton the minority candidate for presi-
dent pro TEN, I could not, and would not
now, when my party associates are in the
majority, consent to accept any other po-
sition than the for which 1 had had
their unsolicited support since 1899 That Is
my attitude now, and Will be to the end.

foes alike that II ths Democratic party was

Old Land Mark Buildings at the
Sheep Camp on Reservation
Ranch burns down

The Sheep Camp on the Reserva-
tion Ranch below town was destroyed
by fire, last Monday, and buildings
destroyed to the value of about
$500. Employees of the ranch had
been burning icarcasses of cattle, that
had perished last winter below the
camp. The fire crept up along the
grass to some feeding managers near,
and unnoticed, spread to the barn
and later to the house, destroying all
the buildings.
A noteworthy fact in regard to the
Sheep Camp ranching property, is
that it is one of the Oldest ranch loca.
tions in the Lovelock valley. 1t was
homesteaded by Henry McCullem IN
81 while the country was being rent
with the Civil War. The trees on
the property were planted in 70, and
were hauled in from Rye Patch. A
Westfall, now prosperous rancher of
the lower valley then in the employ
of a mining company at Rye Patch,
hauled the trees down nearly forty
yeirs ago. Rye Patch was then run
ming in full blast, but the Lovelock
valley contained but few ranch homes
For several years, P. N. Marker
and his brother the late Hans Marker
owned the Reservation Ranch, and
the latter made the Sheep Camp his
home for several years. Later the
property was absorbed by the Rogers
Estate, and became a portion OF the
Reservation Ranch.

WORK BEGUN ON THE
SYSTEMATIC REPAIR
OF STREETS.
Center of Principal Streets will
be Raised and Concrete Side
Cutters put in

With the completion of the Love
lock sewerage system work has now
been started on the repair Of the
principal streets of the town. and
although the amount of money in the
town fund available for street work
is limited tits hoped by commission
er Stoker to make a good showIdg oil
some of the principal streets. On
Tuesday of this week force of men
under Engineer Cook started to work
running the lines for the grading tina,
is to be done on 3rd street from the
railroad crossing to the schoolhouse.
Work will be done on all of the
principal streets, and on some con-
crete side cutters will be put in with
catch basins which will catch the
surface waters and spill them into the
sewer.
1t is planned to raise the center OF
the streets sufficient to make gentle
grade to the side of the street, where
the cutters will be located. On some
streets it will be necessary to haul in
large quantities of dirt and gravel to
give the proper elevation to the cen
ter of the street.
The need Of some efficient method
of running off storm water from Love
lock streets is as pressing as the need
of sewerage system, and one of the
big benefits to be had from the pres
ent sewerage system is that it will
take care of the street water, and
satisfactory repair work of the streets
is now possible. The Lovelock
streets last winter were frightful.
During the whole winter season there
was hardly crossing in town, that
was not as much as three inches deep
in mud and filthy. wa.era-. On 3rd
street the main business street of the
town, there was but one decent cross
ing and that was a high gravel walk
put in by individual subscription.
This entire street was four inches
deep with mud water and in the
the lower places the water remained
and became green and odorous before
it evaporated.
All last winter Commissioner Sto-
ker was appealed to to haul in gravel on
the streets, but he did not think it
advisable until the sewerage system
was completed, but although he was
censured severely In some instances,
he steadfastly refused to waste the
town fund at that time, when in few
months it could be put to efficient
use. 1t has been the habit of private
property owners to fill in the street
Immediately adjacent to their respec-
tive properties leaving the center of
the street lower and here the water
naturally settled. This order OF
street repair is to be reversed, and
the center of the street will be raised
with proper arrangements for the
water to run off at the side.
The work will be under the general
direction of Commissioner Stoker
and the immediate supervision of
Engineer Cook, which is an indica
tion that it will be done right.

INDIANS GET WHISkEY, : j
In LOVELOCk FROM The
FLOATING ELEMENT

The following regarding the un-
lawful practice of selling whiskey to
indians has been handed in to the
TRIBUNE by Superintendent Allen
der of the Lovelock Indian School.
The recent Investigation of the
liquor traffic with the indians OF
Lovelocks, should have tendency to
correct two erroneous suppositions;
lst, that the saloons of this phase are
selling the indians most of their
whiskey and 2nd, that the local Off
GERS are protecting the saloons in
this illegal traffic.
Since beginning this work thir-
teen men, all of the floating element
have been caught buying whiskey for
the Indians. Ofthis number seven
were taken to Winnemucca for hear
ing before the United States Comm
issioner and six of these were bound
over to await the action of the fed
eral grand jury, which has indicted
three. Several of the others were
given Jail sentence and other pun
.ishments. All have left Lovelock
and we hope will not return.
1t is not the desire of any one to
cause these or any other persons to
serve the state or county for this i'll.
egal traffic. We hope that It may
be eliminated or stopped, and this
can be done more effectively and
agreeably by the cooperation OF
those who are handling liquors.
Some are giving us this corporation
and we hope that all will give their
support. The length of life of the
saloon in Nevada, depends, as it does
in other States, upon the business
principals ofithe saloon keepersthem
selves A business conducted con-
trary to the laws of our state and Ma.
tion cannot and will not long be en-
duaed. The worst enemy OF the sa-
loon is the saloon keeper who is al
ways trying to evade the laws.
For the warning of those who may

tistics taken from late government
report, and also quote the federal
laws as. to the punishment for this off

PLENTY OF WORK In NORTH
end OF SEVEN TROUGHS

The north end ofthe Seven Troughs
district has been seemingly quiescent
state for the past few weeks, not be-
cause there is no activity in and about
Farrell but because in many instances,
having located the ore, the companies
at work are developing the bodies at
depth. So
Particularly is this true of the
Seven Troughs Monarch Company.
With an ore shoot opened up for
distance of 2Io feet in tunnel on the
Little Hero, the men are taken off
the ore and put to work on long
tunnel farther down the hill that will
not Only tap the ore shoot opened
above but will cut the formation at
great depth which probable surprising
results in the event of penetrating
other veins. The men are making
progress at the rate of about four feel
a day in the tunnel.
The Caesar reports progress in its
crosscut tunnel but no startling results
are anticipated for some time owing
to the distance still to be traverseo
before the veins are reached.
P. N. Marker has moved to Farrell
from Lovelock and is working a con
siderable force on his properties in
Stone House. Most of Mr.. Markers
activities are centered on the Blue
Birds which have fine surface show
ing.
Herman Erickson is driving a tun-
mel on the White Butte claim to cut
the ledge which showed mill values
across IL feet on surface.
A. H. Baldwin is preparing to

Company following the visit to the

ltallsts who are interested in the COM
pany.

THE new COUNTY
BRIDGE A fine
STRUCTURE
Commodious and Durable
Bridge over Humboldt
at LOvelOck

The first of this week the building
of the new county bridge at Love.
lock was completed and the struc-
ture turned over to the use of the
public The bridge, magnificent
structure, is without doubt the
most substantially built in the coun-
ty
The New Bridge is 18o feet across,
being nearly twice as wide as the old
one, that went out with the food
waters last spring. The river channel
at the point where the bridge was 10
Gated widened to twice its former size,
and the stumps of the old pilings for
the western approach to the old bridge
are now in the center of the stream.
Besides being nearly twice as long the
new bridge is also much wider, and
will accommodate more traffic.
From an architectural standpoint
alone, the new bridge reflects credit
to the builders, the o. P. Johnson
Pile Driving Company, and especially
upon County Commissioner II. Sto.
ker, who gave careful supervision to
the plans and the building of the
structure, From the standpoint of
service and durability the new bridge
is valuable asset to the county, for
when fifty years have rolled away,
there will still be good bridge a
cross the Humboldt, at Loyelock,
unless fire takes it away.
Some of the piling in the river bed
is sunk to dept of thirty feet.
These pilings averaged a7oo pounds
in weight, and were from As to 20
feet in length. They are driven in
the river in rows of SIX with spans
feet apart, and are strengthened by
cross tlmbers and braces. The tim
bers driven in the bank at the side
are of red wood, and the approaches
are especially strengthened to prevent
the bank from caving.
81 would not be afraid, said Com.
missioner Stoker yesterday, "to have
the heaviest freight train that passes
through here cross the bridge.. He
is evidently correct, for the bridge
looks more like railroad bridge in
point of strength and durability that
of an ordinary county bridge.
