SPOKANE MAKES
STRONG PROTEST
Especial to Silver state.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 7. - Pro-
tests against the decision of the CEN
sus department Withholding the Spo-
kane figures until the Tacoma case has
been settled are being sent to Wash
ington, d. G. by business and profes-
sional interests in this city. The
Spokane chamber of commerce also has
taken up the matter, the officers re-
garding the decision an unjust one in
view of the fact that w. A. Me
Kenzie, inspector of census, gave out
the information that no fraud had
been attempted in Spokane. Charles
NJ Fassett, president of the organiza-
tion, announced today that a formal
protest will be filed by the chamber
of commerce, adding:
Following the statement by Mr..
Mckenzie that our figures are sub
stantially correct, can see no reason
why we should be held up. We believe
we have right to know and we shall
insist that Spokane be informed of its
census returns without being held up
until the Tacoma difficulty has been
settled. We have a right to protect
our interest the same as any city in
the country, and, satisfied that our
figures are correct, we shall insist up
on that right

NEXT INSTITUTE
IN WINNFMUCCA

The state teachers institute for
1912 will beheld in winnemucca. Tbe
Winnemucca delegation attending the
institute at Goldfield last week pre.
sented the claims of Winnemucca and
was successful in having their town
chosen.
This will be glad surprise to the
people of Winnemucca, as it was not
generally known that an effort would
be made to have this place selected.
The attendance, it is expected, will
reach about $50. Without much notice
the caring for so many would be quite
problem; but with SO much time am
pie accommodations can be arranged.
Three sssions were held at Gold
field and one at Ionopah, covering
four days. In conversation with Pro.
fessor Abel it was learned that the
attendance numbered 1873. When ask.
ed why he expected $50 to attend at
Winnemucca when only 1873 went to
Goldfield and Tonopah, Mr.. Abel said
Wlnnemucca was so much more GEN.
traiiy located that many more would
attend. Only few went from Reno,
none from Elko and Lander counties
and only two from White Pine. Those
going from White Pine had the great
est distance of any to travel.
There is no state teachers institute
next year, the sessions being held
once in two years.

BOTTOM OF WASHINGTON LAKE
FAR BELOW SEA LEVEL

Four hundred and ninety seven feet
below the level of the sea is the bot
tom of Lake Chelan, in Chelan county,
north central Washington according to
a report by the United States geologi-
cal survey, which shows the lake to
be 1897 feet deep. The altitude is
about 1,l00 feet. For years it was
believed by residents in the district
and sportsmen from various parts of
the country who flock there every
season for fish and game, that the lake
is so deep it could not be sounded. This
was given out following numerous un
successful attempts by farmers and
Others TO find bottom. The facts
were reported to the geological sur
vey and experts were sent to the lake
some time ago. They toook sounding
in various parts of the lake, which i
more than 40 miles in length. The re
suits of their work is published in ;
report issued recently by the depart
ment. In addition to the foregoing
statistics there is a mass of techniea

THOUSAND CROWD
THE OPERA HOUSE

Nearly one thousand people crow l.
ed into the opera house last evening to
greet Senator and Mrs. Nixon and ex-
tend to them their cordial greetings
and best wishes. Each visitor was
welcomed at the door by the host and
hostess and their son, b. f. Nixon, and
given a pleasant word of recognition.
By $3.50 nearly all were seated when
refreshments were served, consisting
of sandwiches, cake and coffee, which
were greatly enjoyed by the multitude.
During the two hours the luncheon
was being served punch was enjoyed
by all who cared for it. Those who as
sisted in attending to the wants of the
guests were Mesdames Sheehan
Tobin, Card, Hurst, Case, Williams
Dunn, Rogers, Lester, Hearn, Pritch.

Staunton, Mae Staunton, Fanny Harp

Shortly after II O'Clock the floors
were cleared and dancing was indulg-
ed in until an early hour this morn

At about l O'Clock, just before leav.
ing to take the train for Reno, Senator
Nixon addressed his guests, thanking
them for their attendance, which was
responded to by three cheers.
The function was purely a social a.
fair, the people of Winnemucca simply
meeting to greet their old neighbors
and all matters political were strictly
tabooed

SPOKANE WILL HAVE
A "GREAT APPLE Way
(SneciaI To Silver State.0

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. s.-Two
modern thoroughfares, each "a miles
in length. known as "the Great APP
pie Wav.' will be built the length of
the Spokane valley, between Spokane
and Occur d'Alene, Idaho, at cost of
$350,000. The preliminary work will
be taken up in few days and it is ex-
pected that actual construction will
begin early next spring. The funds
required will be contributed as fol-
lows: States, so per cent; countless,
|35 per cent, and landowners, Is per
cent.
The road will be of oil maeadam,
24-foot center with four-foot shoulders
and lined on both sides with apple and
elm trees, making two of the most
unique highways in America. Orchard
lists and nurseries and irrigation com
panes operating in the valley have
contributed trees and water snd the
work of caring for them VIII De done
by ranchers along the roG.es. The
work on the Washington side will cost
about 100000 and will be done under
| the direction of the state highway
commission and the Spokane County
Good Roads association.
"The first road to be built will be
| the extension of east Sprague ave
nue." said j. A. Perry, secretary OF
the Spokane County Good Roads asso
citation. "The property there
have contributed $4,000, or about 80,
600 more than the proprietors on the
Trent road. The route has been sur
veyed and work will be pusaed next
spring. This road will be Is miles il
length to the idaho line.

THE PIUTEs WE'RE
AT THE RECEPTION

Doubtless Washington society would
have smiled could it have seen the
Indians with their squaws attending
the Nixon reception last night. Every
now and then, hemmed in by a
crowd of well-dressed men and ele-
gantly gowned ladies bedecked with
jewels, there appeared a Piute with
his squaw, and sometimes a pappoose
strapped to her back. The man was
invariably dressed in well-worn
coat; a pair of new overalls turned up
at the bottom to show the trousers un-
derneath; his bushy head of coarse
black hair carefully brushed back and
shining like crows wing; a new
silk handkerchief of bright eolors tied
about his neck cowboy fashion. His
squaw was dressed in her best. Per
haps she wore the new tablecloth
which she had bought for the double
purpose of using for a shawl when she
went out and for the table when din
ner was ready. She had pretty,
bright colored handkerchief around her
head, and doubtless her husband was
as proud other as any white man was
| of his wife.
! "Why, hello, there, BenW the Sen
ator would say, grabbing the rough,
red hand, ard shaking it as though he
had met an old friend. 'What are
you doing now--still drivings How is
Jennne9 Is Eva still going to school

Some whose names he could not
readily recall We're greeted as cold

Mrs. Nixon knew the squaws, some OF
whom had washed and done housework
for her many years ago. And they
were all treated with the kindest con
sideration, although tsere were sc
many hands to shake.

last night" inquired reporter of al
Indian today.

BUILDING MILL BEFORE
JUSTIFIED BY TONNAGE

A mistake often made in opening a
new and improved mining property is
to expend large sums of money in
mills, machinery and other surface
equipment before it is known how
much ore will be available, or what its
character or value will be. As as re-
suit Of this policy thousands of dollars
have been squandered in unnecessary
or unsuitable equipment. Consequent
ly mining regions are dotted with
ruins to the memory of unrealized
hopes, says the Mining World.
Such folly is utterly inexcusable. 1T
is doubtless the result of the optimism
so freely dispensed by certain class
of mine promoters. Why any one al
lows himself to be drawn into such H.
logical schemes is a mystery.
To those who have no intimate
knowledge of mining, its possibilities
and risks, there seems to be a ten
dency, when trying their luck, to east
all discretion aside and go ahead
blindly, trusting that the fates will
be kind. No one would build a hotel
in an uninhabited wilderness in the
hope that travel would come that way
some time. Yet people will plunge
into mining and spend a fortune in
equipment for handling and treating
ore before they know that they have
ore in quantity, or that the character
of their ore will be such that the
equipment selected will give the most
economical results. The folly of this
seems so self-evident as to be almost
unworthy of mention, but, in mining
the apparently self-evident seems Of
ten to be the most deeply hidden.

GOOD VOTE DES-
PITE BAD WEATHER

Election day in Winnemucca is
windy and disagreeable, with a hard
dust storm raging most of the time.
1t is considered good Demcratic wealth
err, although it is probable that most
of the Republicans of the town exercis-
ed their rights Of franchise.
Bridge street, in the vicinity of the
hose house, where the poll is being
held, presents rather a holiday appear
ance, both sides being ornamented
with banners and placards, advising
citizens to vote for particular candi-
dates. Early this morning small boys
paraded the streets, passing out cir
culars, setting forth the particular
qualifications of certain candidates
for office.
Several candidates from out of town
transferred to Winnemueca and spent
the day here looking after their politi-
cal fences. Among the number were
noticed Judge Langwith, of Golconda,
and J. A. Callahan, of Loveloe.., op-
posing candidates for district attor-
ney; John Case, of Loveloek, Repub-
lican, and +. f. McCafferty, of Ma
yuma, and J. E. Kendall, of National,
Democratic candidates for assembly
men. Tn addition, several stalwart
state police were in evidence, pre-
sumably in the interest of Governor
Dickerson' s candidacy.
While there was a total registra-
tion of 754, it is estimated that by
taking out the "dead' ones this num-
ber would be cut down to ESQ. When
the board adjourned for lunch, 295
votes had been cast, and at 2:30 this
had been increased to 440, with all the
booths full but the line empty. 1t is
estimated that the total vote will run
in the neighborhood of $50.
The election officers today, with the
exception of Frank Germain, are all
new men. The others are A. ID. Dern,
Bert Ellis, G. E. Otis and Phil Rob-
erts.

ALASKA PLACERS
USE BIG DREDGERS

The placer gold production of Alas
ka for 1909 is estimated at $16, 1922 900,
as compared with $15,SS8,000 in 1908.
This increase must be credited in great
part to districts of the Yukon basin,
nearly all of which had a larger pro-
duction in 1909 than in 1908. On the
other hand, the dry weather led to a
marked falling off in the placer gold
output is some other districts. The
operations in placer mining are test
ed under the heads of the various
geographical divisions of the country.
Perhaps the most significant fact of
the years operations is the continued
activity in installing dredging enter
prises. Five dredges were operated in
Seward peninsula throughout the open
season, and six more were completed
in time to do some work, making
eleven dredges, small and large, which
were in use during 1909. The results
of these enterrises have encouraged
many to take up this form of mining,
and plans for several more dredges
have been made. Three dredges were
operated in the Fortymile district.
Plans were also formulated for dredges
at Fairbanks. Some examinations have
ben made for dredge on Kenai PENN

varieties. The next step is to elimi-
nate all that do not promise to make
good" When the process OF elimina-
tion is over it may mean that tie 80
900 candidates in the seven acre pO-
tato patch will have simmered down
to two, or three, or perhaps four real
good, valuable commercial varieties.
When the final test is made, the
potatoes that are accepted as coming
up to the specifications will have to
be thoroughly adapted to trucking
conditions. At present, the experts
say, there are no high grade varieties
highly resistant to disease. What the
plant breeders wish to do is to CON-
bine good quality and large yield with
vigor of plant and disease resistance.
The late blight and a fusarium dis
ease working in the soil cause great
loss in yield Moreover, the bighted
potatoes will not keep through the
winter.
With 100000 acres devoted to
growing potatoes in this country and
an average yield of 100 bushels to the
acre, the Importance of having good
seed potatoes is apparent. 1t means
increasing the crop without adding TO
the expense of production, and at the
same time improving the general
quality.
