DOUBLE TRACKING
ON THE ESPEE

Despite the policy of retrench-
rnent now being pursued in the
operating department of the
Hartman lines, the new double
tracking which is chargeable to
capital account is being vigorously
prosecuted. says the = odgen
Standard. 3D. e"
On the Salt Lake division of the
Southern Pacific and grade on
some twenty miles from .Montelli
to Lucin has been practically COM
pleted. This new line which will
be used as the westward track
will nave a maximum gradient of
about 5 per cent as against the
l per cent grade on the old line,
which, will be used down hill. The
new low grade line will eliminate
the helper service from Lucin to
Monticello.
Work on fifty miles of new
double track east and west from
Inlay is actively under way.
The heaviest work on the whole
line to be double tracked from
Omaha to Oakland is through the
Sierra Nevada mountains on the
Sacramento division of the South
ern Pacific. At the present time
the ruling grade is 2.2 per cent
but the new line as a result of
exhaustive engineering study has
been brought down to ruling
grade slightly exceeding l per
cent and when completed will be

of the Southern Pacific company.
If the present rate Of construct

until the fall of 1914, the Harri-
man lines will have two tracks in
operation between Omaha and San
Francisco to take care of the
heavy traffic the Panama-Pacifir
exposition at the latter point will
cause.

sCAINAMAN Will FIGHT

- There promises to be an inter-
'esting sequel to the running of a
Chinaman out of Terrill, the new
mining camp thirty miles from
Fallnn.
The Chinaman was escorted to
the camps outskirts and ordered to
leave. He went to Fallon and told
his story. He had been employed
as cook in a boarding house and
the miners held a meeting and
decided that neither Chinaman nor
Jap could stay in that camp.
Similar action was taken in all
the southern camps with the
exception of Tonopah, and even
there was riot over the incoming
Of the Chinaman.
1t is understood that a test will
be made of this case and that the
Chinaman will enudeavor to return
to Terrill, where he will be
offe,ed protection. -. Wonder

WARDEN MAXWELL. ....-,'. .....
STOPPED GAMBLING

That gambling is allowed within
the walls of the Nevada State
Prison is the story that is now
going the rounds of the outside
press. That this is false is known
to all who know anything what
ever of prison regulations. 1t
used to be the caper for the con-
victs TO gamble in the prison but
during the reign of Warden Max
well stop was put to the custom
amt since that time gambling of
no kind has been allowed. The
evening paper in q purported in
terview with Warden Baker over
the matter states that prior to
Bakers taking charge of the
prison gambling was allowed on
Sunday afternoons. If Mr.. Baker
made the statement he was surely
mistaken as the News has a copy
of an order made by Warden Max
well which shows that gambling
was stopped at the prison long
before Mr.. Baker took charge.
Gambling was stopped at the
prison by Warden Maxwell and the
credit for the act belongs wholly
to him and not 10 Warden Baker.

AWNINGS SHOULD Be RE-
MOVED FOR HIGH HATS

A Bonanza reporter has observed
during the past few days quite q
number of Tonopah ladies' heads
adorned with skyscraper hats;
they resemble conrucopia, and
have two long flowing feathers
flutiering in the breezes. The
rep )rter observed two ladies
perambulatirg along Main street
yesterday. and when passing an
awning in front of one of the
downtown stores one of the ladies'
head piece came in contact with
the awning, the force of contact
causing the hat and also the lady's
wig to fal! to the pavement, much
to her embarrassment and the
am ;sement of onlookers. And
now everybody knows this society
L. dy has a wig. Oh. horrors! isn't
this awful? And all caused by an
nasty wfiinG. The commissioners
will undoubtedly be asked at their
coming session to pass an ordin-
ance compelling householders tn
raise their awnings to level of
the top of their buildings. -

BUT ONE STATE RE-
JECTS AMENDMENT

IHenty-une states of the Union
have now notified the state depart
ment of the ratification of the
income tax amendement to the
constitution. Rhode Island is
the only state that has rejected
the amendment. Letters have
been received at the department
from the governors of New
Hampshire and Utah telling of
the rejection of the amendment by
one branch Of the legislature, but
this does not mean it's defeat.
The states that have ratified the
amendment are Alabama, South
Carolina, illinois. Maryland,
Texas. Idaho. North Carolina,
Georgia, Colorado, Washington,
Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas,
Maine. Tennessee, Wisconsin and
Arkansas. The order of their
ratification is given in the
enumeration of tire states. the
first being Alabama on August II,
1909. and the last Arkansas. April
%, 1911.
The constitution of the United
States carries q requirement that
all states acting on amendments to
the constitution by congress or
by constitutional convention shall
notify the secretary of state of
the result of such action by the
individual state. There is no
requirement that a report shall be
made to any other authority.
1t is interesting fact in con-
nection with all amendments to
the constitution of the United
States that once an amendment has
been started there is no telling
when it will result in change in
the organic law. The amendment
can keep on running forever, up
parentlv, or until a sufficient
number of states, one fourth Of the
total number. shall have rejected
it. Then 1t is dead, but ct until
then.
Authorities Of the state depart
ment hold that until there has
been formal announcement from
the state department that the
amendment proposed has been
rejected by one-fourth of the
state it is possible that the
amendment nay pass. A state
rejecting II onca may pass the
amendment. This opportunity
dies with an announcement that
one-fourth of the states have
reelected the amendment even
though the state desiring to change
its position through a new legis.
lature shall give notice to- that
effect.
1t is the duty Of the state de-
partment with determining facts
in hand as to any amendment to the
constitution of the United States
to make that fact known at once
to congress and the pres dent. The
latter issues a proclamation an.
nouncing the ratification or the
rejection as the case may be.
Their seems to be no Limitation

THREW BODY INTO WELL.

Fort Benton.-Paul Freeze, who was

Freeze, who is an unmarried man of

Gilmore, at the ranch of the latter,
Oct. s. After killing, the body was
taken in a wagon twenty miles and
thrown into well. The body was dis.
covered in few hours and the officers
followed the wagon tracks into Great
Falls, a distance of eight miles, where
Freeze was arrested. Soon after his
arrest he confessed to the killing and
claimed to have acted in self-defense.
On the trial he said he had no re-
membrance of putting the body into

came to this county a few months ago
from Idaho, where both have relatives.

Helena Man Sees Great Things for

Helena. - Having as it's prime pur.
pose the settlement and development
of the great northwest, which is inter-
preted to include Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, there will be
organized at a meeting soon. to be held
in Helena the Northwestern Develop
ment League, which will include the
states named. This information is
brought here by Sam w. Teagarden
on his return from st. Paul where he
attended a dinner given by Louis w.
Hill to business men Of Minneapolis
and st. Paul. When the Omaha ex-
position Of western lands products
was in progress, what is called the
Western Development Association was
formed, Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington being invited to join. The as.
sociation is composed of the CONNER
cial bodies of Utah, Colorado, Nebras-
ka and Wyoming, and it's declared OBJ
ject is to advertise western oppor-
tunities in eastern papers and to con.
centrate immigration at Omaha and
~
territory.
Montana, Washington and Oregon
did not accept the invitation to join
this organization for the reason that
it was believed the center to which
it was proposed to concentrate the
stream of settlers was too far south
and would result in the greater por-
ton of the people being sent into the
states Immediately west Of the city Of
Omaha to the detriment Of the ones
further to the northwest.
From the Omaha show Mr.. Teagar-
den went to Minneapolis and st. Paul
to help promote a plan for the CO.
operative development for the real
northwest. The decision at the Hill
dinner was that the movement for a
northwestern development league
should be pushed forward, the states
interested to be Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.
The plan is to have Governor Norris
of Montana invite all the governors
of the states included to attend a
meeting at Helena and at the same
time the secretaries of associations
will extend an invitation to all COM
mercial clubs and kindred bodies to
send delegates. The governor expects
to issue his call in a few days.
