GRAND ARMY
Has The President of The
United States as Its
Honor Guest

ROCHESTER,, Aug. 23-Presi-
dent Taft arrived here today to at
tend the national encampment OF
the Grand Army of the Republic.
The main parade began to move
as soon as the President had reached
a seat in the reviewing stand.
The president took a motor ride
this afternoon. He will have dinner
at the residence of Henry a. Strong
and attend the Grand Army camp
fire in the evening.
First business session of the Ma
uonal encampment will be held to-
morrow, when officers will be eIe,t-
ed.
"A mild sensation was created to-
day by the charge that General Nc
EIroy, candidate for commander In
chief was claiming the support Of
President Taft. 1t brought out
prompt denials that the President
was taking sides.

LEADING LADY OF
THE BARRIER

Rex Beach selected Helen Barham to
play the role of Chere Malotte in the
New York production of "The Spoil
ers" presented by Daniel Frohman,
but Miss Barham, who was then but a
short time in America, had the con
ventional prejudice of the English ac-
tress against playing unsympathetic
roles.
When "The Barrier was originally
produced by Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger
at the New Amsterdam theatre, New
York City, Eugene Presbrey, the dra-
matist, added his request to that of
Rex Beach that Miss Barham be en-
trusted with the part of "Necia.
Klaw & Erlanger had Miss Florence
Rockwell under contract, however, and
could make no change in their stipu-
lated plans. When this transconti-
mental tour was booked for 1.-THE Bar
rier' the author and playwright joint
ly specified that the one condition they
would impose on the management was
that the leading role be entrusted to
Miss Barham, therefore the laurels she
is winning, while distinctly her own,
must reflect credit upon the judgment
of Rex Beach and Eugene Presbrey.
Miss Barham is not star in this
particular. There are no stars in
''The Barrier company. 1t is a
eapably constructed, evenly balanced
aggregation of playerfolk who are
presenting this delightful story of
''the last west' in a manner that is

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE

The National Copper bank, in its
latest trade and finance letter, says:
From the crucible Of the recent bust
ness depression certain deductions are
being evolved and the necessary steps
are being planned to meet future re-
quirements. In view of this, a splen-
did tribute to the inherent wealth of
this section is found in the recent de-
eision of the great railway system to
double track their lines through Ne
vada, and to spend many millions of
dollars. in general improvements and
equipment.
President Lovett, in announcing the
intention of the Union Pacific to spend
$75,OO0,0OO for the building Of 1878
miles of main line, says:
"The entire country served by the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
systems is rapidly. developing. In
deed, it is only in its infancy, and we
are convinced that its growth in popu-
lation and it's agricultural and CONNER
cial development must continue
1t is also stated that $100,000,000
more is to be spent by these systems
in the construction of extensions and
new lines tributary to the Union and
Ii n
official statement has been made that
the new regime in control Of the
Gould lines has authorized the expen-
diture of like sum for general i'm
provements. It is said that one-fourth
of this amount, 25,O00,OOO, will be
used in double tracking the Denver h
Rio Grande to Salt Lake, and in the
general improvement of it's roadbed,
also in making certain cutoffs. All of
this means the spending of more mil
lions by these systems of railroad Tor
additional equipment. 1t means the
employment of many thousands Of men
and awakened activities in every sec
tion touched by their lines. Business
all over the country has aready taken
heart from these announcements, and
their good effects are felt in financial
and other markets. y
A hopeful, optimistic tone, tempered
with moderation is everywhere notice
able in the mountain states. The
downward tendency in stock values
seems to have ceased and solid bottom
has probably been reached, as we note
gradual broadening in the market
for investment securities. The local
stock market shows general aver
age advance of fifteen per cent since
January /. There is every indication
that the mining interests of Nevada,
Utah and sister states will prosper in
1911. New discoveries of ore through.
out the territory are being recorded
weekly, and most of the mining and
smelling companies are now better
equipped to handle their ores than
they were last year. -

MORE COLON|STS
ARE LOCATED TODAY

Yesterday NJ Marich, the Los An
geles land agent who has located a
large number of colonists at Grass val
ley and near Mill City, arrived in town
with another party, composed of Mrs.
Troback, Antoine Buzolich and Gus
Kohler, of Oakland. This morning they
left for Grass valley, accompanied by
County Surveyor Sheldon, and will To-
cate on government lands in that
vicinity.
In speaking of his colonization work
this morning to a representative of
he Silver State, Mr.. Marich had the
following to say:
"For the past several months /
have been endeavoring to bring set
tiers to Humboldt county from the
large cities of California. While my
efforts have been fairly successful, as
is evidenced by the number of men
whom / have actually located on
lands, | would have done much better
had / received the cooperation or
Winnemucca business men. Citizens
here, to whom | have referred intend
ing settlers, have, in many instances,
given a poor account of the country.
Letters have been shown me from res
idents of Humboldt county which stat
ed that the lands concerning which IN
ouiry was made were covered with al
kali, were without water and nothing
had ever been raised on them.
'This latter statement is undoubt-
edly true, for the reason that no ef-
fort has ever been made to raise crops
on the lands The others are untrue,
as there is little or no alkali and good
water may be had in abundance by
sinking wells from l6 to 90 feet. AS
| stated to the Silver State while here
several weeks ago, government land Is
becoming scarce throughout the west
ern country, but here in Humboldt
county are thousands of acres of fer
tile lands which will raise large crops
All that is needed is water and indus
trv. and as | have stated there is nc
trouble about the former. With the
co operation of your citizens l can To-
cate a hundred men on claims in this
county during the present season. All
will have sufficient money to buiid
and secure the first years crop and
will make desirable citizens in every
respect"

TRAIL OF MURDFRFRS LEADS
THROUGH HUMBOLDT COUNTY
Indians, Said To Be Shosoes, Evidently Headed for 0Wyhee
(ounty~-PoS& will Camp at dollhouse Tonight
sheriff FerreI Goes to EkO by Rail

Joined our posse at Lays ranch yes
terday morning, and are included In
the IA men who are on the trail today.
Last night the posse camped at Lays
Willow Creek ranch and tonight will
reach the Toulouse.
1.-The Indians are headed for the
Owyhee country, but are making slow
progress From their camps we ascer-
tanned that they have not made more
than twelve miles in any one day, and
indications are that their stock is
about worn out. Although the posse,
this morning, was IL days behind,
there is not doubt but what they will
be overtaken and captured.
Sheriff Ferrel is of the opinion that
this same band of Indians murdered
the boy in northern Elko county some
months ago, and for the purpose of
confirming this theory visited TRAINER
and Uric at the county jail to talk
over the details of tnat crime.
Sheriff Ferrel and State Policeman
Buck left for Elko on No. 10 this af
ternoon. While, for reasons of public
policy, the Sheriff did not care to dis
cuss his future movements. it is the
reasonable assumption that he hopes
to form new posse in Elko county
and head the Indians off before they
reach their destination in the Owyhee
country.

SUBSTITUTE REAP
PORT|ONMENT BILL

Assemblyman Fulmer, of White
Pine, who introduced the first reap

substitute the counties will be given
representation as follows:
Churchill, one senator, two assem-
blymen; Clark, one senator, two as
semblymen; Douglas, one senator, two

Sheriff Ferrel, of Washoe county, and
Frank Buck, member of the state
police, arrived in Winnemucca, via the
Western Pacific, at about 3 O'Clock
this afternoon, coming from Jungo by
freight train
When seen by representative OF
the Silver State this afternoon and
asked the latest news regarding the
hunt for the murderers of the four
sheepmen, Sheriff Ferrel replied:
1.-THE murder was committed by a
band of Shoshone Indians, composed
of one old man, three young braves,
two old squaws, one young one, IL
years of age, and three children, rang
ing in age from 10 to 13 years. That
these Indians committed the murder
there is not the slightest doubt, for
at several of their camps We found
remnants of the clothing taken from
the murdered men, which the squaws
were undoubtedly changing to tit the
men on their party. On the 25th OF
November they stole a quantity of
cartridges from man named Van
Norman, who has a small ranch in
Little High Rock canyon. He is
member of our posse and is able to
give a minute description of all OF
them.
"Sheriff Lamb, with his brother and
Skinny Pascal, the Indian trailer,

lines, would unite and rally to his
support.
The Republicans will not concede
that the wave of Democratic success
which resulted in changing the com
plexion of congress will roll on and
sweep out of office the Republicans
therein remaining. They allege that
the Democrats are preparing to put up
some "creature of the interests
such, they say, as Harmon-and that
they are even now shaping their
course to make sure of generous
campaign sack made plethoric by cor
poration contributions. Believing this
to be the case, the Republicans see no
reason to fear that the next president
will be of the Democratic faith.
Nevertheless, many wise politicians
in Washington-men who make ~
their business to study political inli-
cations everywhere-will tell you
very seriously that only bad manage
ment during the next year or more
can possibly prevent Democratic sue
cess at the next election, compared
with which the recent upheaval will be
insignificant. One of the shrewdest
politicians in congress has remarked
that the next two years will be replete
with political surprises, and while he
NAV not endanger his reputation for
sagacity by telling just what the sur
prises are to be, there seems to be
little reason to believe that his pre-
diction is incorrect so far as it goes

TO CLASSIFY COUN-
TIES OF THE STATE

bill introduced in the assembly
Monday afternoon by Schmidt divides
the various counties into five classes,
according to their assessed valuation
and fixes salaries of county officers.
First class counties are assessed for
over $4,000, 900; second class, less
than ten million; third class, less than
SIX million and more than three mil
lion; fourth class, more than two mil
lion and less than three million; hfth
class, all counties whose assessed valu-
elton is less than two million. The
salaries, under those elassifcations,
ale as follows.
First class-<Sheriff. $4,000; district
attorney, $4,000; recorder $4,000; coun
ty clerk. $780, treasurer, $4,000; as
sesor, $1,000; county commissioners,
5000.
Second class--Sheriff, $1,000; district
attorney, $4,000; recorder, $4,000; eoun-
ty clerk, $4,000; treasurer, $4,000; as
sess r, $2400; county commissioners,
$2e0.
Third class-Sheriff, $3000 district
alto ney, $4,000; recorder $2400; as
sese . $1,000; county commissioners,
$70o.
70 nth class-Sheriif, $2400. I. district
.tto ey, $2400; recorder, $1,000; coun-
ty clerk, $2000 treasurer, $4,000, as
seas $500; county commissioners,
5000
F'f.h sheriff, $1,000; district
alto ney, $4,000; recorder, $500; coun-
ty clerk, $500; treasurer, $500; eoun-
tv clerk, $500; treasurer, $500; as
SCISSOR, $500; county commissioners,
$500.
Hum boldt Would Be in Second Glass.
As Humboldt county's assessed
valuation today is $9,6SS,000 should
the ! i'll become a law it would find 1T
self temporarily in the second class,
which would give raise in salary to
all its officers, with the exception of
assess )r. which would remain as at
present However, it is estimated that
this years assessment will bring the
total valuation of the county up to
$l0,500,000, in round numbers, which
would place Humboldt in the list of
first-elass counties, which would result
in a considerable increase over present
salaries which are as follows:
Sheriff, $4,000; district attorney, $3,
600; recorder, $2,400; clerk, $2,l00;
treasurer, $4,000; assessor, $4,000
commissioners, 5000.
While the salaries proposed by the
measure are none too high in the ag
gregate il would seem that they are q
little out Of proportion, according tc
the service required and responsibility
attached to the several Offices.
