UNCLE JED'S TALK TO THE LIT
TIE FOLKS.

Our little story writer's and CORE
spondents have been very busy this
week and the result is total of thirty
letters received, containing thirteen
little original stories, ten nice letters
and seven letters of acknowledgment
of prize books. We shall be able to
print only half of them this week.
and this makes them draw just twice
as many prizes as if we printed them
all at once. So the little folks should
be patient, for their letters will all
appear in due time.
One little tot of nine writes Uncle
Jed letter of thanks and inquiries
what she received the book for If
she did not write the letter Uncle Jed
received, he does not know; if she
did, that is what won the book for
her
Uncle Jed wishes to say that the
boys and girls of no other state are
writing better stories or letters than
those he is receiving from the little
wide-awake workers who compose The
Bulletins family.

NV Garden.

When school was over and vacation
really and truly began. l got some
seeds and started to make a little gar
den. 1 didn't have very much room
but I made the most of what l had.
Some lettuce seed was given to me,
and I planted it the best l knew how.
1t didn't come up very good. though.
Then I set my geraniums out. and
also some slips / had. Next I planted
morning glories and there are thirty
one blossoms out this morning.
Ny geranium has four pink bios
SONS on it, and one of the slips has
big red blossom.
/ also planted some dahlias and they
have come up fine.
Every evening just as the sun goes
down. 1 water them; and you don't
know what fun it is to wake up every
morning and try to guess how many
blossoms are out.
l have got nasturtiums and violets,
too: but the violets won't blossom
again until next year.-Mildred Smith

Tho Autobiography of a Carriage.


Here l stand in Mr.. Smiths wagon
shop, brand new, with black body
and red running gear, waiting for
somebody to buy me.
Three years previous I stood large
sturdy oak in the middle of dense
forest, my boughs stretching out as
much as thirty feet over the small
shrubs and bushes.
One day two men came and chopped
me down. So now l am made into a
beautiful carriage. But. look! here
is man now looking at my wheels.
Yes. he has made a bargain with my
owner.
Oh, how l hate to be drawn through
the sand and get my nice wheels all
dirt. But here I go, over stones and
deep into the mud.
Alas. 1 have reached home, but no
one would ever recognize me as a
brand new wagon. Ny new owner used
me very roughly and soon the paint
was all off from me, and 1 was never
painted or even washed.
One day / had been a long distance
and on returning my wheel broke
down. The horse ran and broke the
shaft. / was then dragged home and
thrown into the shed.
Several days afterwards the hired
man came and took me out and split
me into llindlings. / was then taken
in and burned to ashes. My ashes
were thrown on field and the heavy
rains washed them into the ground
and made very rich soil.
This is the end of the red running
gear carriage that was purchased from
Mr.. Smith on June !, 1907.-Carrie

VETO DAY

Yesterday a number of proposed
laws were dumped overheard by Gov
ernor Oddie. Aside from the Pana-
ma Exposition Bill others were put
out of Commission
The bill providing for a raise i'll the
salaries OF all the State Officers was
blue penciled. This law was wide
reaching in every sense. The fact
that the officials who were to receive
the benefits of the raise were elected
with specified salary prompted the
Governor to veto the bill. There is
no doubt but that several OF the state
officers should receive better COM
pensation than is allowed by law, but
it should be handed to those who are
elected with that provision in sight.
The Appeal believes that the Cover
nor acted wisely in exercising his We
to power in this respect
Another law that was vetoed was
that providing bounty for the manu-
facture of sugar within this state.
This law, while it is without doubt
beneficial and meets the approval of

Will Not
Buy the Bank

The bill that passed the Legislature
authorizing the State TO purchase the
Nye x Ormsby County Bank Build
ing. was vetoed by the Governor
The Governor gives as his reason
that he believes the state can gei
along III its present Quarters.
The law provided that $4,000 be
the purchase price. This was what
killed the bill, not the housing OF the
commissions. The building was ex-
amincd and surveyed and found want
ing. The fact of the matter is the
building is not worth the price asked,
nor did it cost that amount of money.
Had the people who own the proper
ty placed a reasonable figure on it,,
such as it could be bought for at pri-
vate sale, the state would most likely
have taken il over. 1t looked like
holding up the state for something
that was not worth the price and was
turned down on that account.

Offices as postal savings depositaries

mostly at industrial centers where
there are many wage earners.
1t is Mr.. Hitchcock's intention TO
conline the offices as nearly as posi-
bic to indu strial centers really need
ing such banking facilities, particu-
larly giving consideration to geo
graphical location, postal receipts,
foreign money order business and
general efficiency OF postmasters.

Moving Junk
to University

Senate Bill No 142, which passed
the Legislature and has been APPROX
ed by the Governor, provides for the
moving OF the mineral cabinets from
the halls of the Capitol Building to
the State University, presumably to
the School of Mines.
This is a good move There is the
greatest conglomeration of speci-
mems that was ever collected. At
one time this was conceded to be the
finest cabinet OF specimens in the
West Thousands of excellent and
valuable specimens were collected
and labeled. They came from every
nook and corner in Nevada and many
were from other parts OF the world.
They were loaned from time to
time to exhibits at the big fairs. The
tables were rubbed off The best
specimens were stolen and by the
time they were returned to this city
they were not recognized.
At the present time there are sew
eral tons of all classes Of ores, good,
bad and Indifferent Afew handsome
specimens remain and they will prob
ably find resting place at Reno.
Had there been a proper custodian
for this collection twenty years ago
the state could have presented the
students at the mine college some
thing worth while As it is there is
a lot of junk to be moved 70 Reno
and the State building is well rid of
the wrecked collection.

funds sufficient AS the Governor is
Assessors and could move to raise
taxation on all classes this excuse
seems to be particularly fiimsy.
The weakest point in his veto mes
sage is the suggestion that III it is
necessary to secure a suitable site
for a building previous to such leg
islative session that the funds neces-
sary can be collected from private
sources
As the people understand the mat
ter it is not a case OF public subscrip-
ton, but state affair.
Private individuals have heretofore
subscribed to such expositions and in
each instance are out the money sub
scribed. If Nevada is to have show
at the big fair it must come from the
treasury, and the people should not
build state eXpositions.
The Governor opens his message
with a denial that the veto is exercis-
ed from a political standpoint and i'm
mediately weaves in his expressions
regarding the turning down OF his
bill that would have abolished the
State Board of Assessors. He pun
ishes the state because the wisdom OF
the Senators would not stand for
wrecking the only board that has
ever been created that has raised tax
valuations on all corporate holdings.
The Governor was informed early
in the session that his bill would meet
defeat. That he was a member of
the State Board OF Assessors and

BLUE PENCIL DAY
AT THE STATE HOUSE

every one was declared to be in vari-
ance with the Constitution, which
provides that the state cannot assist
private enterprise.
The veto was also applied to the
bill granting a twenty-year franchise
TO a wireless company. The Cover
nor decided that it was giving away
100 much for nothing, and that the
exclusive provisions might work a
hardship in the end to the state. 1t
certainly asks large holding of the
air, which is supposed to be the only
free article of nature that is on the
list.
The time allowance for examina-
ton OF bills came to an end last
night. AS the Capitol Building was
wrapped in darkness after 9 o'clock
it is presumed that the Governor
wound up all affairs before that time.
He certainly had some hard prob
lens to handle and while a very large
number of bills were vetoed few
good laws received his signature.
Now that the rush is over the Gov
ernor can settle down to the rugula
ton duties OF his Office, which will
not be as manifold as they have been
since he took the oath The Cover
nor put in long and strenuous hours
and he has been on duty early and
late since the Legislature took action.
Previous to that he was busy with
the Board of Assessors and the Board
of Pardon He will get time to take
a long breath and also forget the
blue pencil for another two years.

May Build
A New Mill

Since the ore bodies in the Mexi-
can mine have developed into what
has all the earmarks of a great bo-
nanza, the company is in quandry
to dispose of its millable ores. 1t is
runored that the company is figuring
on the erection of mill to handle
the large amount of ore now in sight.
Practically all the mills on the Car
son River, which in former years
turned out bullion and ground the
quartz from the Comstock mines.
have been dismantled, and if they
were standing they would be useless
under the new treatment that is given
ores. There is not a mill on the river
that could handle the ores to-day
without a thorough remodeling and
the plants are out of the game.
The Buffers plant is under lease,
while the Kinkead mill is engaged on
Ophir rock. This eliminates the pos
sibility OF using any mill in that sec
ton.
Inside of the next thirty days the
development in the Mexican will
probably call for some mode Of treat
ment Every round of shots and ev-
cry shift exposes new and more ore.
1t certainly sounds good and makes
mighty good reading. The old lode
is again coming into its own and with
the virgin ground that is being ex-
plotted there is no telling the new
millions that may be produced

Yesterday wound up the time limit
on bills passed by the Legislature
and Governor Oddie exercised the
veto power with blue pencil in both
hands.
Senate Bill, No. l50-An Act Great
ing fund for an exhibit OF Nevada
products at the Panama Exposition,
and carrying an appropriation OF $l5O-
600 has occasioned a great deal of in
terest throughout the State. Not
only did Nevada and her people spec
ulate on the outcome OF the Govern
or's decision, but inquiries came
from many states, including Callfor-
niaa. As practically every state IN
the Union has taken steps to be rep
resented at the big show, naturally
the people OF this state were interest
ed. The fact that the Exposition is
to be held in San Francisco and was
only secured by strenuous work on
interest. The Governor vetoed the
law.
Accompanying the veto was the re
quircd veto message. Governor Cd
die in his message states that he did
not veto the bill from the fact the law
made the appointive power democrat
