Commission for Counties.

NOFB1UtSStOu TOT 60uttStSSs
Pferre.-While there was more or
less comment about the close of the
last legislative session as to the posi-
bility of applying the commission form
of government to the management OF
state affairs, it was not taken at all
seriously, but nov the adoption of
such a form of control for the affairs
Of counties is being pushed as a prac-
teal plan in some sections of the state,
the theory advanced being that il such
a system is good for a city government
as an advance in scientific manage
ment of public affairs. the management
of the business of a county, which is
so similar to the management of the
affairs of a city might well be brought
under the same plan. Since the move
ment is under way for commission
government, it is likely to be spread
out in its application.

New Camp
is Staked

According to the Reno papers there
is the possibility OF new mining
camp at a place known as Fort Sage
in Northern Washoe County. Dur
ing the past few days several hundred
people have left Reno and hiked over
the hills in that section. 1t is stated
that some good float has been
brought in and that there is vein OF
millable gold ore exposed i'll the sec
ton
That townsite has been located
and staked is one of the affairs that
looks more a real estate boom than a
mining boom. 1t will take several
days and possibly weeks to bring this
question out where it belongs. The
fact that one of the locators is a real
estate man is the only thing against
the mining end OF the game.
Several Carson people are figuring
on making a trip to the scene and
settle the question in their own
minds. 1t is hoped that it will prove
a mining camp and good one. The
more the merrier.

|SOME ITEMS REGARDING
LOCAL BANKING AFFAIRS
New Law May Create a
Change in Positions

The law that lately passed the Leg
islature which names the State Bank
Examiner as receiver for all defunc1
banks, is causing considerable agita-
ton among the many who have in
terests i'll both the State Bank and
the Nye & Ormsby.
Under the new lay the State Bank
Examiner, Gene Howell, will take ov-
er the business of rcceivership, thus
doing away with the present receiv-
ers OF the two banks. Should this
procedure prevail it will save very
large amount OF money for the de-
positors.
In the meantime the suit being
brought by Receiver Wildes in the
District Court against the Directors
is being heard The case comes up
again on the 9th OF this month. As
the new law provides that the law
becomes effective ten days after hav-
ing been approved it is not likely
that Mr.. Howell Howell can take the
first steps along the new lines. t is
expected that when he makes appli-
cation for the books OF the two banks
and the keys to the vaults that he
will be turned down. The matter
will then be threshed out in the
courts, probably going to the District
Court first and then to the Supreme
Court for action. In the meantime
the case now on hand will continue.
Some months ago investigation was
held by Judge Langan relative to the
salary that Receiver Wildes was to
receive. Expert witnesses were
brought here to give testimony as to
the cash worth OF receiver OF a de
iunct institution. Judge Langan has
never handed down his decision in
this matter, and many interested de-
positors are wondering how much Of
their money Mr.. Wildes is being al
lowed by the Judge The case OF the
attorneys is i'll like quandry. Judge
Mack some time ago stated that his
bill was $4,000 How much the
Court will allow is in question.
Should the Supreme Court decide
that the new law is valid Eugene
Howell, the Bank Examiner, will

have the destiny of the pending suit:
in his hands. 1t will also result il
the shaving down OF an enormous
salary fund, which shorla be some
compensation to the depositors.
In the case OF the people against
the Nye & Ormsby County Bank this
suit is hanging fire. The s1,it was
brought against the bondsmen Of +
| O. Patterson. Mr. Patterson as the
County Treasurer, deposited some
nineteen thousand dollars in the Nye
/ supposed to be protected by bond
| signed by d number OF bondsmen
, There has never been dollar col
lected and the money to date seems
as good as lost, while the county is
being run without cash in sight
In order to force some settlement
on this score a suit was entered ask
ing that the money deposited be
made a preferred account This mat
ter has been heard before Judge Ian
gan and decision is expected by the
9th of the present month. Should
he decide in favor OF the County
Treasurer there is a chance OF taking
over what money there is in sight.
Should the decision be against the
| Treasurer then suit must be started
Immediately against the bondsmen.
The fact that this suit has hung
fire since the failure of the bank has
naturally caused great deal of criti-
cism. During all the time since this
bank failed the county has been short
the amount OF money deposited and
mot cent has been paid over.
As the new law effects the Nye &
Ormsby Bank it is possible thaat Ex-
aminer Howell will be called upon to
institute the suit or defend it as the
case may be- There are many people
in this city who are convinced that
time enough has elapsed between ac-
tions and that some course must be
mapped out The late switching of
affairs by the newly framed law is
apt to result in great deal of bene
fit or throw the entire affair back to
its first stages. 1t will certaily keep
Mr.. Howell on the move TO unite the
tangle.

CALIFORNIA HAS MADE SOME
CHANGE IN THE TROUT
LAWS OF STAE

While there is still discussion OF
the new Nevada Fish Law, it is of
interest to notice changes in the trout
laws recently made in the California
Legislature. :.
Senate Bill No. 365 OF the Caliior-
MIA Senate, provides that the general
operating date for the state shall be
April lst. This is to provide for
early trout and steelhcad fishing in
the coast streams. For fish and game
district No. 3, which includes all the
high mountain counties from north to
south, the opening date is May lst.
Thus, on the upper Truckec i'll Cal
iiornia the open season is the same
as that provided in the new Nevada
law: and for the same reason. There,
as here. anglers recognize that trout
should not be taken in their spawning
season.
