WILL ATTEMPT TO ANNUL
THE GAMBLING Law

From an authentic source we learn
that there will be determined effort
made this year to amend the gambling
law and to remove from it the sting.
This viii be done under the guise or
remodeling the law so that social
games can be enjoyed and prizes gwen
at card parties. While this is being
dore 1t is hoped to so emaeulate the
law that it will practically be dead
letter on the statute books. Already
a fund has been gathered for the pur-
pose of lobbying the new measure
through and it will mean a hotly CON
tested fight again this year when the
solons meet.--Carson News.

new HEATING
PLANT FOR NIXON

For some months the committee hav
ing in charge the Nixon opera house
composed of W.. A. Brown, Albert
Seeliger and A.S'F Trousdale, have
had under consideration plans for in
stalling new steam heating plant in
the building. Upon his attention being
called to the matter, Senator Nixon
authorized the committee to go ahead
and have the work done and send him
the bill.
Today Mr.. Meyers, representing the
Reno Heating company, forperly Saw
age G. Adair, is looking over the opera
house, in company with members of
the house committee, to ascertain
what sort of a heating system is best
adapted to the place. AS soon as
plans and specifications have been pre-
pared, the contract will be let and the
work commenced at once.
May Interfere With Attractions.
Two frst-class attractions had been
billed for the opera house for next
month. "The Burgomaster, which ap-
peared here last year to crowded
house, had contracted for a one-night
engagement on the 5th of January, and
the "House of a Thousand Candles, -
had reserved the night of the 9th of
the same month Should work be com
meneed on the steam-heating plant
prior to the first of the year, it is pos
sible that it will be found necessary
to cancel both engagements.

coUNTRY,S POPULATION
NEARING 100 MILLIONS

A Washington dispatch says that
the population of the United States
as revealed by the 18th census, IS ex-
pectd to be announced by the census
bureau on December 10. Counting
Arizona and New Mexico as states tne
totals for 2s out of 4S states already
have been announced. The grand total
for 26 of these states is 60,037, ,759.
which is again of between 81 and 22
per cent over the population in the
same states in 1900.
At this rate of increase the total
population Of the country should be
about 9l,000,000. The most striking
development of the census SO far az
shown is the relative growth Of cities
and industrial centers, as compared
with the farming regions. The eastern
states have more than held their own
while the states of the middle west
have fallen off.

NEW ORDER BY INTERNAL
REVENUE DEPARTMENT

The internal revenue officers have
issued new ruling regarding the de-
livery of intoxicating liquors, beer,
etc., which prohibits railroad agent
from delivering any such goods to a
drayman unless the consigneee is pres
ent or the drayman has a written or
der from the consignee. Another or
der is that every empty whisky bar
rel shipped out must have every one OF
the original marks scratched off. 1t
was found that barrels which had con-
tanned the highest grade whisky had
been shippd out with the marks stili
on, and these barrels were reflied
with fourth or fifth grade liquor and
reshipped to customers as first class
goods, the old marks being used, and
the government took the latter method
Of stopping this practice.

WOOLCROWFRS
HOLD SESSION

Hon. J. A. Delfelder, president OF
the Wyoming Wool Growers associa
tion, presided at the seventh annual
meeting of the association which met
at Sheridan Thursday. George s
Walker, secretary treasurer of the
Wyoming association, and also secre
tary of the national organization, was
present. Prominent sheepmen from all
sections Of the state were in attend
ance. The next convention will prob
ably go to Thermopolis.
In the annual address delivered by
President Delfelder, he spoke in part
as follows:
"Our greatest misfortune befell us
when President Taft in his speech at
Winona said he was not pleased with
the wool schedules in the Payne-Al
drich act recently passed, as he
thought there should have been a re-
vision downdard. He did not realize
at the time how far-reaching and revo-
lutionary in character his remarks
would be nor that he was stimulating
agitation that would cause a loss of
of dollars to the people of the
United States. His unfortunate re-
marks caused an industry that repre-
sented an invested capital of over a
billion dollars to swerve from its
course like a rudder to the
ship in storm. The bankers sudden
ly discovered they were loaned long
on sheep and began to hedge. Wool

the assessment was made last year,
the Western Pacific was not complet-
