left Monday on No. 4, for Helena,
where he will remain during part of
the time the legislature is in ses-
sion, to use what influence he can
towards getting some laws passed
for the benifit of the railroad men.
Among some of the things the Or
der is endeavoring to get is a more
strict observance of the 16-hour
law by the railroad companies. They
want the railroad company to be
compelled to put responsible
brakeman on the rear end of each
train and to have a limit placed on
the number of cars that shall con-
stitute train for two men to work,
any in excess of that should re-
quire another brakeman,
They also desire to have law
passed compelling the railroads to
keep man on all mountain grades
to inspect air and brakes before
the train decends.

passenger agent for the Southern Pa
cifc Company, while in town last Mon
day stated that, notwithstanding the
strike, the company has 1850 men at
work in the Sacramento shops out of
a normal force of 1000 He also stated
that the company has 100 men at work
in the sparks shops, and that Carlln,
Ogden and all points on the Southern
Pacific system have ample men to take
care of ever ything necessary to be
done to prevent detention of trains,
and that the road is moving more live
stock out of the state at this time than
anv time in its history. The stock Is also
bringing the highest prices: Mr.. Full

IN LOVE.

A dashing young country swain who
was dead in love, wrote his little bunch
Of sweetness letter as follows:
Dearest, my love for you is strong
or than coffee or n kick Of a COW.
When | think of you my heart fiops up
and down like my mothers churn dash
er and visions of doubt creep over my
soul until / feel like an old cheese
board made full of holes by skippers.
Sensations Of exquisite Joy go through
me like young goats over a stable
roof. feel as though | could lift my
self with my boot straps to the height
Of a church steeple. As goslin SWIM
meth in mud puddle. SO do | swim in
sea of delightfulness when you are
near me. My heart oscillates like a
shaker in a tanning mill, anl my eyes
stand open like cellar doors in eoun-
try town. If my love is not recipro-
Gated will pine away like a poisoned
potato bug and you wall catch cold over
my grave"

DEALERS MUST SWOp BOOKS
That is the Dictum of the State
Superintendent as Regards
School Text Books

Under mistaken view of the require
ments for introducing the new text
books dealers throughout Nevada have
been refusing to give exchange rates
on Curry's Literary Readings for the
seventh and eighth grades, thereby en-
failing upon parents double price up
on said books amounting in the aggre-
gate to nearly $4,000 extra for this year
alone.
Upon learning of this State Superin-
tendent Bray at once took the matter
up with the publishers and secured i'm
mediate compliance with contract.
In some places dealers were found
to be requiring that old books in the
hands of pupils should be in good condi-
tion for use in order to be accepted in
exchange for the new books. "There
is no warrant for this requirement, ;"
said Supt. Bray, land it will not be
permitted to stand. Dealers must ac-
cept book that is substantially whole,
though it may be torn and marked ever
so much.
Dealers in many places have failed
to receive Hoath's Fourth Reader in
exchange for WheeieY's Fourth. This
is contrary to contract with the pub
fishers, and the exchange rate must be
given.
The exchange and introduction rates
are in force on all new books until Feb.
|, 1912. The legal penalty of 500 for
any infraction of these rates will be
promptly enforced by the state super
intendent upon notice thereof.

A Railroad Change.

The portion of the Hartman lines
lying between Sparks and Ogden, the
Nevada & California road, running
south from Hazen, and the various
branch lines in Nevada have been ta-
ken from the Ogden Short Line and
places under the jurisdiction Of the
Southern Pacific, the change having
been made on November 1st.
The Southern Pacific lines in Nevada
will hereafter be under the manage
ment of E. c. CALVIN, vice-president
and general manager. In connection
with the change it is rumored that =.
G. Manson, former superintendent of
the Salt Lake division and later gener-
al superintendent of the Short Line, is
to go to the Southern Pacific and will
have general charge of the company's
lines in this territory. Superintendent
Rowlands will remain in charge of the
| Salt Lake division, but will move his
headquarters from Ogden to Sparks.
Prominent officials Of the Southern
Pacific and Short Line met Tuesday
at Inlay, thence proceeded to inspect
the company's lines in Southern Ne
vada, and these officials completed the
| formal transfer of the Short Line back
to the Southern Pacific.
The entire Nevada territory was
formerly under the jurisdiction of the
Southern Pacific, but was turned over
to the Oregon Short Line about six
years ago. AS far as the road is con-
cerned the change merely transfers the
various lines affected from the juris-
diction of one set of officials to another.
Hereafter the railroad will change
the time of its schedules at Ogden in
stead of at Sparks and Pacific instead
of mountain time will be use on all the
lines in Nevada.

A BAD COON FROM ALABAMA
Exchanges Shots With Officials.
But is Finallp Taken in
Tow and Jailed.

Peterson Oven, 22-year-old Ala
bama coon, had his preliminary hear
ing before Justice c. G. Swingle at
Hazen Monday, and following the in
PRODUCTION Of evidence on the part of
the state, Owen was bound over to
await the action of the next grand
jury on charge of assault with a
deadly weapon. District Attorney w.
5. Wall represented the state, while
Owen was unrepresented. Owen made
statement that he believed his life
was in danger at the hands of the rail-
road crew as he was riding near Hazen,
before he produced his gun and began
shooting.
From the evidence introduced by the
states witnesses, 1t seems that Owen
engaged Constable G. W. Sharkey, the
Hazen peace officer, in a running fusi-
lade that was maintained internationally
from Hazen to the foothills to the west
of Hazen. From there a detour was
made by the negro, who eircled back
past the Swingle ranch and was finally
met up with by Constable Sharkey at
point several miles north of the Fal-
Ion railway track.
When covered by the officers shot
gun, Owen became jocular in attempt
ing eonciliation. He addressed Sharkey
as boss" and asked him what he had
in his gun. When informed that it was
real buckshot and that be would be
killed If he further refused TO throw up
his hands, he said toss a shell over
here boss; sure believe that you are
trying TO take this here coon with a
gun loaded with birdshot He soon
became convinced that the constable
was not fooling and gave himself up.
At the preliminary he said he thought
he must have run Is or 20 miles, and
both the fugitive and the officer had
been without water for many hours
when they boarded the Hazen bound
Fallon train shortly after arriving at
the track, and were nearly famished.
In default Of $1,000 bail, Owen is in
the county jail, where he will remain
until the grand jury has passed on his
guilt.

BROOKS COMET.
Ii is a Conspicuous Object in the
Early Morning sky.

Ii is a Conspicuous Object in the
Early Morning Sky.
Brooks comet is conspicuous object
in the early morning sky, but those
who wish to see IL must do the early
rising stunt. 1t appears just north Of
Venus, in the eastern sky. The comet
is travelling at the rate of 5000, 600
miles day, which is surely gong some,
ana it will not be around this way again
for 1900 years. Get look at it now or
you will never see it againl
With the possible exception of Hal
ley's. this comet of Brooks is the most
conspicuous celestial visitor of the past
decade. Photographs taken at the Lick
observatory show clearly the jets and
streamers originating in the nucleus
and driven out to form the tail by the
repulsive forces emanating from the
sun. Speetroscopic observations show
that. like the Morehouse comet of 1908.
this one consists largely of carbon mo-
noxide gas.
At present the comet is about ST.
600. 600 miles from the earth, and the
tail is 40, 600, 900 miles in length.

Epidemic Rife Among Hogs.

An epidemic is killing off the hogs
by the wholesale In Mason and ad-
jscent valleys, says the Yerington
Times, one ranch having lost as high
as 250 porkers during the summer,
and others from 20 to 100.
What the disease is, apparently has
not been learned, and If any means
Of combating the disease have been
taken, it is not known. IL would seem
that so great loss would call for an
investigation by some authority on
hog ailments Certainly the carcasses
of dead animals should be burned, so
that they will not be eaten by other
hogs and the disease spread any more
than possible.

ME- HUNDRED TONS PER DAY
That is What is Being Handled
At Nevada Hills-.-New Plant
a Big Success.

". H. Webber, a director of the
gsyada Hills and formerly general
manager, and c. z. Burton, secretary
and treasurer Of this Nevada organiza-
tou. we're in Salt Lake. says the Salt
Lake Tribune. Both spoke highly ia
,arable of the new operations, the plant
beiDg in practice even more than was
expected of it in theory. What looks
ssOecially convincing is the fact that
he Nevada Hills company is a pro-
cucer of gold bullion. the first consign-
uent of about s20. 900 having been tor
sarded to the Selby smelter a few
days ago.
All the stamps are dropping at the
MILL stated these officials, and over
100 tons day are being handled, the
Management using only four men to
the shift. And the mill has hardly had
tine to timber up properly as yet.
The plant has given but little or no
trouble from the beginning, some minor
trouble with the filters having been ad-
justed as quickly as the same was de-
tected.
Despite the newness Of the plant
metallic saving is being made now that
lyerages between 92 and 90 per cent,
md this is going to be improved until
he plant gains the distinction, if possi-
lie, OF being one of the closest savers
( values known to the mining world,
nd Messrs. Webber and Burton are of
be opinion that the plant is equal TO
be honor.
Underground work at the property is
ot being neglected, and one of the
ost significant bits of development at
mpted for long time there is the in
lguration of work on the 450-faot level
ward the old Fairyiew Esgle terri
ny, which is now part of the Neva-
Hills estate. This crosscut will find
most interesting territory to explore
r practically all the distance. while

Kicking on DAYTON Potatoes.

A demand that quarantine be
placed on all potatoes shipped into Cal
ifornia from Dayton, New, will be
made by County horticultural Com
missioner F. r. M. Bloomer of State
Horticultural Commissioner Professor
Cooke. Bloomer has discovered that
many of the potatoes shipped from
Dayton are infected with the eel worm
and if allowed to come into this state
will spread the disease.
The infected potatoes were found by
Jess Aiken, an inspector working un-
der Bloomer. Several of the potatoes
were examined and were found to be
full of eel worms.
Trouble was had last year with the
Dayton potatoes and carload was in
tercepted in Sacramento and shipped
back to Nevada. The Nevada people
tried to evade quarantine by shipping
the carload to Los Angeles, but they
were again sent back. The shipment
of Dayton potatoes is just starting and
will be watched closely. The annual
shipment amounts to several hundred
cars-Bee
