Here and There.

1t is 1910 now, and it seems as if, for
the future, the blunder of miscalling the
years which has prevailed for the past
decade ought to be done away. As to
references to past years, it may of course
be expected 10 continue for some time.
Ii was most persistent error, and pecu-
liar in it's persistency and its general
prevalence. 1t began with 1901, which
number not permitting of easy condensa-
ton in speech, was by force of habit and
sloveulinesS of speech made to be spoken
as ''ninety-One," and il continued with
nearly undiminished force through the
wears. Doubtless about as many have
styled the year just closed "ninety- nine, "
as called the one eight years earlier
"ninety-one," and the number of those
perpetrating this error is surprisingly
large fraction of the population in this
part of the world If you have been a
juror sitting on case which required
testimony as to various dates during the
past twenty years, you doubtless heard
more or less testimony which went I'M
challenged something like this:
go. Al -.twas In June, ninety six?"
"k that was June 18th, ninety six"
while you know that il must have been
later than 1900. In court, on the street,
and wherever dates have been named,
the error has persisted. But now the

has trained us to call it, has gone out of
the number of the year, and those who
find life too short to say nineteen ten"
can say ten and no confusion will result.

\ number of hoodlums of this city
got busy Thursday night and enjoy
cd themselves for an hour or so in
blocking the streets in the vicinity
Of the Meyers Mercantile store with
wagons. As luck would have it no
damage was done as result of their
work but different story would
probably have been told had an auto
turned the corner of Ormsby Street
and ran into the mass OF wreckage
that filled the street An examina-
ton of the footprints showed that a
woman was mixed up in the even

these kind of animals and put them
to work on the streets where they
belong before some innocent person
is seriously injured or perhaps killed.

Wagon Struck
By Motor Car

While the motor car on the V. &
T. was returning from Minden this
one of the employees of
Fred Dangberg attempted to cross a
crossing in front of the car when it
was almost upon him and as re-
suit the wagon was broken up and
the driver was thrown a distance OF
about forty feet from the rig. En-
gineer Petersen stopped as quickly
as possible and with the crew picked
up the man who was considerably
bruised but in no wise seriously in
ured The man was placed on the
car and taken back to Minden for
medical treatment. The horses were
uninjured.
The accident was in no wise the
fault of Mr.. Petersen or the railroad
company but simply the desire f tine
driver to cross the track ahead O
the car.

Board Refuses To Act Owing To Absence
of Governor Will Meet Again

Late yesterday afternoon the
Board of Prison Commissioners hell
a meeting to consider the plans and
spo cihcations filed with the Board
Ivy State Engineer Boyle. Governor
Dickerson, who is member of the
Board was attending to business in
Reno and could not get back in time
10 attend the meeting. The other
two mmebers of the Board, Secretary
of State Douglass and Attorney
Genral Stoddard, met, however, and
read the report of the State Engin-
cer. The entire plans and specitlca-
tons for the new prison were pre-
sented to the members and also the
recommendation of the State En-
gincer that the plans and specitca-
tons be rejected on the grounds that
the building would cost the state
the sum of 100000 and that i'll his
opinion cheaper building that
would answer the purpose could be
erected for the state.
Owing to the fact that the Govern
or was absent no action was taken by
the Board and another meeting will
be held on the I'd of the coming
month. next Tuesday. when full
Board will be present.

QUESTION is
RAISED
Regarding Voting For Candi.
dates By Those Who Have
Signed Petitions

The Appeal during the past few
days is in receipt of many queries
regarding whether voter who signs
the petition of one of the many can
didates for nomination at the pri-
maries to be held on the 9th day of
September must go into his booth
and vote for the candidate whose pa
per he signed, regardless of whether
he believes said candidate to be the
best man for the place or not
The Appeal has been. looking the
matter up and so far has found no
thing in the laws that will compel
any one to vote for man he does
not want regardless of the fact that
he signed his nomination paper.
The Reno Gazette has also been
looking into the matter and has the
following to say regardin gthe ques-
tiop.
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1910-07-30

the Board has yet to decide the mat
ter and it is to be hoped that they
will take all questio-s appertaining
to the carrying out OF the will of the
last Legislature under serious con
sideration and finally dispose of the
matter.
If Nevada is to have new prison
it should be of d modern nature,
strictly up-to-date and one that will
last for all time to come. This state
can afford to have the best insti-
tutions of any state in the union and
there is no excuse for the squabble
over the expenditure OF a little extra
money if the results desired are OBJ
tanned.
One OF the members OF the Board
stated last night that he was desir-
Gus of having the work started on
the new buildings and that he believ-
cd that the cost of the prison under
the plans as submitted to the board
was all that could be desired At
any rate the matter will be taken up
at the meeting on the coming Tues
day and a vote taken to decide
the instructions of the last
Legislature shall be carried out or
ignored.
If it is found that the cost of the
new Institution is too high it is
about time that new plans were call
ed for and some progress made to-
ward the erection of the prison by
the Board.

A MOOT QUESTION

Some one, who evidently signed a
nominating blank, has had an after
thought. He wonders what he
swore to do when he ''ntended' to
support at the primaries the candi-
date signed for. He asks the Ga
zette to inform him.
Intend" is most elastic void
gentle inquirer. 1t may mean to fix
the mind or attention upon. 1t may
be construed as pretend, make be-
lieve or simulate. Sometimes it is
construed as to be inclined or dis
posed There are a host of other
meanings such as to look for or ex-
pect.
The Gazette sought legal advice
in the matter and finds that there is
no legal construction placed upon
the word. In fact it is very rare for
the law to construe an individual
word. In fact it is very rare for the
law TO construe an individual word.
it being almost invaribly by con-
text, the spirit and reason of law
and the "intcnton' of the legislat.
ors.
The inquirer might have gone fur
ther and asked for Il determination
of the significance of the three words
in the context: "Declare | intend" "
Declare is likewise many sided eN-
preston. There is a strong chance
that the trainers of the bill intended
to have declare mean to assert or
inform. as its construction in law is
a solemn assertion.
The question that arises is: Does
the signing of nomination blank
compel the signer to vote for the
nominee at the primary election y
1t is a moot question now, but when
the time to vote comes around near
ly every man will enter the booth
and vote for the man he leans to-
ward, regardless of whatever peti-
tons he may have signed
