sun reaches such Il position varies with
the latitude of the place. There is less

With a Grain of Salt.

The earliest record of the saying
with Il grain of salt" dates back TO the
year 63 b. c.. when the great Pompey
entered the palace of Mithridates and
discovered among his private papers
the description OF an antidote against
poisons of all sorts. which was COM
posed of pounded herbs. These. &C
cording to the recipe. were to be taken
with a grain of salt. Whether this
was meant seriously or as Il warning
sarcasm is not known. but thenceforth
It became the custom TO say that
doubtful preparations should be taken
with grain OF salt. From this the
meaning got transferred to sayings OF
doubtful truth. Attic salt was a
Greek synonym for wit or penetration.
and the Latin word sal had some
what of the same meaning. 1t is thus
easy TO see how the saying cum
grano sails" could have come to mean
the necessity of accepting doubtful or
suspicious statements with grain of
salt"

An ever increasing number OF town

mere pittance. Girls monopolize the
store counters. and hard lines confront
the lad Who shirks work with his

schools are the only places where the
rudiments of mechanical trades may
be mastered by every ambitious boy.

ROBINSON AND HUTTON
Back to what Land?

The movement from crowded sec
lions back to the land" may turn out
an unexpected economic blessing. 1t
is usually believed that there are acres
enough west Of the Mississippi for all
newcomers to this country and to take
care Of the natural drift westward;
also that immigration and the drift
will soon people all those acres. But
lands abandoned by native migration,
whether westward or to the towns,
have value and attraction for agricul-
turists Of moderate ambition.
Taking up abandoned farms started
many years ago as a fad. There is
some prospect that it will soon become
a business. Railroads and state au-
thorities have seen Il great light. The
old commonwealth cannot afford to
be drained 10y emigration, and If 1t Is
good business for railroads to foster
agriculture in one section why not IN
another? The whole community is in

dOned farm land. 1t means more bust
ness for carriers, for buyers and sell

ment is encouraged over the whole
Union those misguided emigrants to
Canada will not long be missed.

Reno Suffers
Another Fire

A fire visited Reno this afternoon
that threatened for time To do 4
great amount of damage. a shoe
shop back of the Nixon Bank caught
fire which spread to the saloon adj
joining. A buildig occupied by tai
lor was also gutted. For time it
required the efforts Of the Reno fire
department to keep the flames under
control. 1t was feared for a time
that the entire block would be wiped
out. The three buildings were so
badly damaged that they will have
to be torn down The loss is placed
between six and ten thousand dol
larss., about half the amount being
covered by insurance.

That Secretary of State Douglass
feels that Jpc Josephs' petition for I

fact that NJ. Leeggett, the present

ready to file should the Court decide
in Mr. Josehs' favor. The case is
one of peculi,r interest, mainly from
the fact that This Office has been over

number OF years. 1t was through
the efforts of Mr.. Josephs that the
matter has come to public attention
and should the Court decide in his

GOVERNOR DICKERSON
ANSWERS NEWSPAPER
Explains Situation Regarding New
Penitentiary Plans

There is just enough truth in the
article in this mornings News to
want to build the prison and | want
to build it in Ormsby County, but
do not want to undertake to build
S5OO,OOO prison on $2O5,O0 ap
preparation. The Legislature appro-
priated $2O5,000 for the purpose OF
buildig a prison. Out of this sos,
600 $2S,000 has already been used
for the purchase of the prison site,
paying the expenses Of the State En-
gineer on his tour of investigation
OF Eastern prisons and for the plans
of Mr.. DeLonchant. The Prison
Board recently awarded without my
$loS,560 for the installation of steel
cells and other steel work required
in the prison, leaving a balance on
hand in the Prison Fund of $S,O31.
The cost of constructing the build
ings in accordance with the plans
prepared by Mr.. DcLonchant would
be considerably over 100000, and l
submit that $8,03l will not go very
far towards the construction of those
buildings.
Now as to the preparation OF the
plans: Mr.. Nicholas, the former
State Eng neer, after his return from
a visit to the Eastern prisons, sub
mitted few drawings of what he
conceived TO be modern prison.
There were no details, no specifca-
tions and no estimates of cost sub
mitted by him up to the time of his
removal from office nor was it pos
sible for anyone to estimate from
these drawings what the cost of CON
struction would be. The Board re-
alizing this, employed Mr.. DeLon-
chant some months ago to assist the
State Engineer to prepare detailed
drawings and specifications in ac-
cordance with the ideas outlined in
Mr.. Nicholas drawings At the time
OF Mr.. DeLonchant's employment the
present State Engineer, Mr.. Boyle,
requested him to forward the draw
ings to the State Engineers office
as soon as each sheet was prepared
in order that the State Engineer
might check up the plans and esti
mate the cost. This Mr.. DeLon-
chant faild to do. He waited until
he had completed all the drawings
and prepared the specifications and
then fled them with Mr.. Legate, the
Clerk of the Board of Prison Com
