mercial superintendent; G.. S. Tulloch
superintendent of plant, and H. J.
Jeffs, traffic superintendent, arrived in
town on No. 6 for the purpose of con-
ferring with Local Superintendent
Mercer regarding the installation of
new equipment. In addition to the
original plan of six duplex and two
quadruple repeaters, there will be
added four more quadruplex. The new
equipment, which was ordered in New
York some time ago, is beginning to
arrive and will be in place within the
next two or three weeks, when it is
probable two additional operators will
be added to the force.
Supt Mercer states that the CON-
pany has abandoned the idea of in
stalling it's own electric plant in the
Western Union building, having con-
cluded satisfactory arrangements with
the Winnemucca Water Light COM
pany, which will soon furnish a day

TRACKING SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Assistant Engineer j. Whittenmyer
of San Francisco and force of TWEEN
ty-fve men have arrived in Ogden to
take charge Of the double-tracking of
the Southern Pacific line between
Montello and Lucin, the survey work
on which was strted Tuesday that ac-
tual construction may be commenced
within week Mr.. Whittenmeyr will
work under the supervision of Chief
Engineer William Hood, who passed
through Ogden last week for points
along the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Whittenmyr stated that at least
600 men will be employed as soon a
the work is well under way and adde
that it would take at least two mont
and perhaps the greater part OF tn
summer to complete the Job. There
several bridges to be built which will
require the services of skilled me-
chanics.
He also stated that the double
tracking between Ogden and Little
Mountain had not been assigned to
any one as yet, as far as he had any
definite knowledge, although there
might be possibility of his being
placed in charge Of that job as well.
The matter will be determined by
Chief Engineer Hood. Most of the ma
terial is ON the ground and additions
are arriving daily.

TRAINER TRIAL
TO BEGIN JUNE 26

j. Frank TRAINER, charged with
the murder of Gene Quilici and his
wife at INLAY last January, and who
secured a change of venue from the
Humboldt county District Court to
this county, was arraigned in Judge
Moran's court Tuesday afternoon and
his case set for trial.
TRAINER was indicted jointly with
Nimrod Uric and plead not guilty and
asked for a separate trial. Uric was
found guilty of the charge and is now
at the state prison at Carson under a
death sentence.
Judge Moran, on the recommends
tion of District Attorney Woodburn
set the trial for Monday, June 26, at
10 O'Clock a. m. Woodburn stated
that he had received a communication
from j. w. Shields, judge of the pro
bate court at Twin Falls, Idaho, who
will defend TRAINER. Shields asked
that the trial be set late in June, as he
could not be here before that date. In
Difference of the request, the court
chose June 26.
Judge Shields will be the only coun-
sci employed by TRAINER, while the
state will be represented by District
Attorney Callahan, of Humboldt, and
District Attorney Woodburn of this
city.-Reno Journal.

". P. TO stop
CARRYING mail

When the Western Pacific was built
several new towns were established be-
tween Winnemucca and the Califor-
ma line, which in course of time Sc
cured postoffices. For the accommoda-
ton OF the inhabitants, the Western
Pacific has been carrying mail pouches
from Winnemucca free of charge.
The postmasters at Gerlach, Jungo
and Sulphur arranged with John Welch
to deliver and call for their pouches at
the Winnemucca Office, and Postmaster
Rogers was authorized by the depart
ment to recognize this special mes
senger. Under the arrangement men,
toned, the towns affected have been
receiving fairly satisfactory mail SER
vice.
Now comes the Western Pacific.
however, and notifies the interested
parties that after the first of June it
will decline to carry these mail
pouches without compensation. The
action of the company, while it will
work temporary hardship on the
residents of the towns, seems to be an
ordinary business precaution. Should
anything happen to one of the pouches,
the government would undoubtedly
call on the company to make good in
heavy damages.
A Remedy Proposed.
1t is proposed that the patrons of
the postoffiees at Gerlach, Sulphur and
Jungo join in petition for letting a
mail contract to the Western Pacific,
which will be forwarded at once to
Congressman Roberts, when the mat
ter will no doubt be promptly ad-
justed

MAY APPOINT A
GAME WARDEN

There is a probability that a game
warden for Humboldt county will be
appointed by the commissioners at
their June meeting. Local sportsmen
are interesting themselves in the mat
ter, owing to the fact that the law
is being daily infringed, with the pros
pect that unless q competent man is
appointed to enforce the laws, game
and fish in Humboldt county will soon
be thin of the past
Under the new law a warden may
be paid a minimum Of $50 up to 800
per month salary, with expenses not to
exceed $25 in any one month. All
fees collected for hunting and fishing
licenses are turned into a fund for
that purpose, and cannot be used for
anything else. 1t is understood that
ct the present time there is $1,1OO
available for a warden g salary in the
Humboldt county treasury.
In order for candidate to receive
the appointment of game warden, it is
first necessary for him to fle petition
with the commissioners containing the
names Of at least 20 taxpayers. So far
as known no petitions have as yet been
fled, but it is understood that one or
more will be presented at the next
meeting of the board.
