LET THE LADIES
DO CENSUS WORK

There is no doubt that women are
most eminently qualified to serve as
census enumerators. OF all the test
papers SO far submitted by applicants
for positions the neatest and most az
curate are those handed in by women.
The government is desirous of obtain
ing certain inside information, that is
often regarded as impertinent, and
many people hesitate to answer. The
list this year is longer and more search
ing than ever before Besides, the
burden of answering the family ques-
tions falls upon the housewife, who
feels a delicacy in barring family
secrets to "strange man. even if he
is representing the United States.
How does man always know the ages
of his children, or their number some
times, without countingf Then i'm.
agine the embarrassment of an old
bachelor asking all the ladies-young
and old-their ages, how many times
they have been married or not, and
why, and other such fool questions.
And even after nice old maid has
already informed the enumerator that
she has never been married, for that
brief government official to ask, elbow
many children have you hadf Please
state whether black or white and how
many living or deadf' just because
those questions are printed in the
blanks and the law requires them to be
correctly answered.
After reading over the blanks an ex-
sheriff remarked that he would rather
take contract to run down a gang of
hypnotic high-grade prospectors or an
ordinary band of train robbers than
serve as a census enumerator in his
township.
But how nice it would come in for
some semi-literary ladies, who are al
ways more or less anxious to know
what is going on around them, but or
dinarily feel a delicacy in asking lead
ing questions. With not only govern
ment authority to ask, put a sworn
duty, how different.
BY all means appoint female enum-
orators and it will be safe gamble
that the work will require no verifca-
tion on account of errors or omissions.

STOCK
HEAVY SUFFERERS


John Bartlemay, formean for the
Palo Alto Cattle company, with head
quarters in Elko county, was in town
for day or two this week. Asked by
representative of the Silver State
how stock in his locality were standing
the cold weather, Mr.. Bartlemay re-
piled:
"Cattle and horses that are being
fed are in good condition, and win
suffer only nominal loss. There are
good many, however, that could not
be got in from the ranges, and the loss
among this class will be considerable
probably as much as one-third.
s'The sheep losses will be large, not
withstanding the fact that all the big
owners are feeding. Before hay. could
be got to the fiocks, many had become
SO weakened that they are now drop
ping off in considerable numbers.
This has been the most severe
winter in 80 years, and that the stock
in this territory has not been
annihilated is due solely to
the fact that large stocks of hay have
been available.

DR.. and Mrs. J. H. Ostrof arrived
from Chafey the middle of the week.

in answer to an inquiry as to whether
he intended to open Offices here, DR..
Ostroff replied: "For business reasons

the prisoner on any amount of bail.
His only recourse would be to obtain
his release by a writ of habeas cor
pus. However, should Stowe make this
attempt and be successful, he would
no doubt be rearrested before he could
leave the courtroom.
For some time the present officers of
the company have been convinced
that large amount of the jewelry ore
had been stolen, and at considerable ex-
pense have had force of trained de-
tectives at work running down the sus-
poets. Stowe, who was the company g
bookkeeper before the Peltons assuIa-
ed charge last fall, has been undr con-
slant surveillance since leaving the en-
ploy of the company, and the officers
claim that they have sure case
against him.
| AS soon as Stowe has been safely
landed behind the bars of the Hum
boldt county Jail, other sensational ar
rests are expected to follow in quick
succession.

former RESIDENT
MAKES SUGGESTION

Reno, Nevada, Feb. IL, 1910.
Editor Silver State, Winnemucca, Ne
vada--
I see in recent papers that my old
town of Winnemucca is to have a new
iron bridge, which, I suppose, will re-
semble our former structure across
the Truckee river on Virginia street,
Reno. Thinking that perhaps q few
suggestions at this time will not come
amiss, hereby append same.
All remember here in Reno the dead
fall, thug-trap and holdup affair our
bridge was--a rendezvous for all the
highwaymen, yegmen and after-mid.
night providers that ever stopped in
Nevada. No one was safe in crossing
this structure after an early evening
hour, to say nothing of late pedestrians,
who generally got it in the neck or on
the back of the head with club or
some other blunt instrument
Holdups and assaults became Of such
frequent occurrence that a popular
movement demanded a new bridge,
which should be unobstructed, with the
result that the present structure was
built of concrete and stone, with wide
driveways and foot passages, road en-
frances on both ends, with no high OBJ
stacles in the center to shield evil
doers- everything in plain, unobstruct-
ed view, at night well lighted by elec-
tricity. The bridge stands as a monu-
ment to the county fathers responsible
for its erection.
I hope and trust that my Winnemuc-
ca friends will not err in this bridge
building, but will construct it with a
view to making it safe for any lady or
child to cross at any time during the
twenty-four hours.
In this connection there is another
matter of Importance to be taken into
consideration. By building stone or
concrete bridge, nearly all the money
win be, kept at home, giving it an op-
lportunity to circulate among your
business houses. With steel or iron
bridge, the cash will 60 to oustide
firms, and never a cent will come back.
This one fact alone should open the
eyes of all Winnemucca citizens to
the Importance of stone structure.
As the commissioners Of Humboldt
county are old friends of mine, feel
certain that these few suggestions viii
be taken in the spirit they are made.
1 understand there is an unlimited
quantity of No. l building stone to be
had near Winnemucca, and as for ce-
ment, that may be had east or west.
The work may be let by contract, or
the county might perhaps build the
structure, under the superintendence Of
La No. ! man.
say, county fathers, build for
yourselves stone monument that will
be pointed to with pride for years to
come. FORMER WTNNEMUCCAN.

AAc VI eHO ciOHSdtcu bidte, dIIcSt-
ed on complaint Of the principal "pro-
moter" (and principal welcher) for ex-
hibiting deadly weapon in threaten
ing manner at National, will be given
a trial Tuesday. The case had
originally been set for today, but could
not be heard owing to the fact that
this is legal holiday. The professor
himself is in town and is expected to
put in an appearance at the trial Tues
day for the purpose of exercising his
hypnotic powers on Judge Robins and
the jury.
1t transpires that after the bunch of
"speculators' had failed to break the
faro bank at Reno last week, as pub
lished in the Silver State, they took
tack and transferred their attentions
to recovering high-grade ore supposed
to have been stolen from the National
Mining Company of Nevada. 1t has
been stated about town, and published
in local paper, that the work was
done at the expense of the president
Of the company. However, the present
president, John E. Pelton, Indignantly
repudiates the insinuation, with the
statement that, although approached
in Reno by the outfit, who unfolded the
plan, he promptly informed them that
he did not have a moments time to
consider such foolishness.
In any event, the party visited Ma
tionai last week, where the subject"
was placed nnder the "infuence" af-
ter which, it is said, he jumped on
horse and took the party to a desolate
canyon and showed them where the
high grade was buried. AS there was
several feet of snow to be cleared
away, after which frozen ground would
be encountered, it looked as though the
"subjecto was reasonably safe in his
assertions
However, after turning over to the
"subject 5000, the price agreed upon
the party left camp for Winnemucca by
the same conveyance, apparently the
best of friends. Upon reaching town
and holding communication with par
ties at the camp, the chief promoter
claimed that he had received the
double X and made run for the jus
tiee court, where he swore to the com
plant. as above stated.
Present indications are that there
will be good audience at the trial
Tuesday, professional men as well as
laymen. for Judge Robins win no doubt
he called upno to establish several pre-
cedents in criminal procedure.

PATRIOTISM COSTS
NAN HIS LIFE
Falls So Feet While Mailing
Flag to Roof.

Pittsburg, Pa. May 80. - The pa
triotism of John Gierlowski, a middle
aged Polander, has cost him his life.
While trying to hoist the Stars and
Stripes TO: Memorial Day on the roof
of Turner hall, in Glendale, copper
wire on which the flag was strung
came in contact with a live electric
light wire.
The shock which travelled to Gier-
lowski knocked him down and entan-
gled in the flag and wire he rolled to
ground, thirty -five feet below. He died
half an hour later either from the
electric shock or the injuries received
in the fall
