clear saving of all that portion of the

Some queer deductions arc being
made from the registration lists

decrease in its voters. Reno is in
the same fix. Ely has fallen off a
few and a number of mining camps
that furnished votes last election
r completely off the map. On
the other hand the new camp of
National will come in with quite a
heavy vote as will Jarbidge and
several other new camps, especially
in Humoldt county. The argri-
cultural districts all show an in
creased registration. Carson valley,
Fallon, Humoldt valley, and in fact
all of the farming sections are
help ing balance up. the loss from
the mining section. Ormsby
county, contrary to all predictions,
comes in with nearly seventy more
votes this election than last. This
increase occurs in spite of the fact
that Empire has lost a large per
cent of her voting population.

that the total vote throughout the
