MINERAL COUNTY ORGANIZED
LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON

A Hawthorne special to the Reno
Gazette says that the new county OF
Mineral was organized Saturday after.
noon at meeting of the board of
county commissioners, appointed by
Governor Oddie.
The meeting was held in the old
court house that was formerly the
seat of government of Esmeralda
county prior to the moving of the
county seat to Goldfeld and the sub
seauent carving out of Mineral from
the parent county.
j. III. Miller was chosen chairman
of the board of county commissioners
In taking his seat he stated that the
board would labor as strenuously as
possible to keep down the tax rate
without lessening the efficiency OF the
county government.
AS Mr.. Miller is one of the old resi-
dents of the county, one of its pro
gressive men and probably its heavi
est taxpayer, there is no doubt that
the program he outlined will be car
ried out.
The board then selected Eugene
Grutt. a mining man of Rawhide, as
sheriff and assessor. J. G. Atchinson
a resident of Hawthorne, and former
county official, who is thoroughly ia
miliar with the ropes, was made clerk
of the county, John Gallagher a sub
stantial mining and business man OF
Lucky Boy, was the selection for audi
tor and recorder. II. F. Breede, al
attorney of Rawhide, was the choice
for district attorney.
1t will require almost an entire week
to get the rough edges worn off ant
the new county machinery in smooth
running order.
Judge Somers, of Esmeralda county
will alos preside over the district cour'
of Mineral county.

CENSUS RETURNS PADDED
SAYS DIRECTOR DURAND

Taking the country as whole, IL rs
probal le that the population is slight
ly overstated by the census bureau,
declares Director of the Census Dur
and in his annual report, but whether
the margin of error is fraction of
one per cent, or amounts to as much as
two per cent, no one can positively
know.
That is should exceed two per cent
is certainly extremely improbable.
1t vas necessary after careful inves-
tigation, the director says, to correct
the population figures fo rtwenty three
cities of the United States, "whose
census returns had been inaccurately
made. or padded either Intentionally
or through carelessness or error.
He says that in several cities there
seems TO have been a deliberate con
spiracy between private individuals
and some of the special agents or
enumerators or both, to initiate fraudu-
lently the census returns. Several
eases of padding are now in the hands
of the department of justice.

BERT sTOKER, OF LOvELOCK,
MARRIED AT SANTA ROSA

The following dispatch published in
the Sunday issue of the San Francis
co Chronicle will be read with interest
by the people of Lovelock and the
south end Of the county, the groom.
Bert Stoker, being the youngest son of
Commissioner III. Stoker:
SANTA ROSA, Feb 1S.-A marriage
that was intended to be kept a secret
for many months was performed here
last evening by Rev. Archdeacon Geo
f. Swan, but it leaked out. The CON
tracing parties were Bert e. Stoker,
of Lovelock, Nevada, and Miss Lillian
Lodge, of San Francisco. The happy
couple gave their ages as 30 and ~
years respectively, so there is no ele-
ment of runaway marriage in the wed
ding. The ceremony was performed at
the reetory of the Episcopal church
on Mendocino avenue. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stoker departed for San Francisco on
the morning train Friday.

MANY INJURED IN
LAST nights WRECK

Palisade canyon was again the scene
of disastrous wreck on the South
ern Pacific last evening, in which a
dozen persons, more or less, were in
iured, at least three seriously. Train
No. 10, in charge Of Engineer G. w
Davis and Conductor Joe Knowles
while running on time and at ordinary
speed struck broken rail at point
one mile and half west of Palisade
at SAT last night. From the fact that
the engine and baggage cars had pass.
ed in safety, it is thought that the rail
broke while the train was going over.
One mail, two day coaches, two tourist
sleepers and the dining-car left the
track, the latter rolling down the EN-.
bankment, distance of 20 feet.
Engineer Davis at once cut his en-
gine loose and run to Palisade,
where he reported the accident to
headquarters. Company Surgeon T. II
Harper was summoned from Carlin
and left for the scene of the accident
by special train, while several sur
geons were taken from Elko on No.
9. All victims of the wreck were Civ
en- attendance, the more seriously in
jured being taken to the emergency
hospital at Elko. While it was impos-
sible this morning to. secure list OF
the injured, it is learned that Con
ductor Joe Knowles and George Suth-
erland, the well-known cattle buyer,
are among the number.
Wreckers were ordered from Carlin
and Inlay and the track was cleared
before noon today. Trains Nos. 3, 3
and l, which were on the other side of
the wreck. passed through Winnemuc-
ca this afternoon. Two coaches, to
take the place of those wrecked,
were sent out from Sparks on No. 4

LARGEST WATER WHEEL IN
WORLD FOR SPOKANE RIVER
Especial to the Silver State)

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 21.-Con-
tracts have been awarded by David L.
Huntington, president of the Wash
ington Water Power company of Spo-
kane, to a company in Philadelphia for
the construction of four of the largest
water wheels in the world. The near
est approach to them are the five
wheels in the plant at Niagara Falls,
$4,000 horsepower, and the Great
Western Power company's plant in
California, which has similar ca
pacity. The equipment, to be install
ed at Long lake, 80 miles down the
Spokane river from this city, will de-
velop a total of 10000 horsepower.
The weight of the four wheels is esti-
mated at 100000 pounds. They will
be fitted with four 150-ton generators
the largest ever set up. The steel
shaft for the wheels is to be % inches
in diameter and 35 feet in length. It's
weight is placed at so tons. A 10
foot head of water is required to 0pe-
rate the new plant and to reach this
dam, $50 feet in height, 375 feet in
width and $50 feet thick at the base
tapering to Is feet at the top, will be
constructed. The company expects to
have the first unit of $4,000 horse
power in operation before the close OF
1912. The preliminary work on the
dam is under way.

main open, as usual.
The great social event of the occas-
ion will be the ball to be given at the
Nixon opera house in the evening by
the Girls club, to which the general

coon PROGRESS IN
BRIDGE ST. GRADING

The work of grading Bridge street,
from Fourth to Railroad, is progress
ing in satisfactory manner, despite
the frosty weather Of the past week.
Eight teams and drivers, with possibly
half dozen laborers, in addition to
the chain gang, are engaged on the job
and the excavation work is probably
is done there yet remains seven inches
of gravel filing to be attended to, and
it is estimated that the entire under
taking will require from month to
six weeks time.
Aside from the benefits to be de-
rived from the improvement, it has
had the effect Of ridding the town Of
hoboes. Word was no doubt passed
along the line from San Francisco to
Omaha, with the result that today it
would be impossible to find a vagrant
in town with the aid of a search war
rant.
It is stated that there is consider
able dissatisfaction among number
of the property owners along the street
in front of whose lots deep cuts have
been made, but after they have ad-
justed themselves to the new condi-
tions it is thought they will be glad
the work was performed at this time,
when it could be done without expense
to the town or to the property.
This incident brings forcibly to
mind the fact that the town should
have its street grades established, ac-
cording to the universal custom in in
corporated cities. At comparatively
small cost the work could be perform
ed by the county surveyor, in the alb
sence of city engineer, and when
ever lotowner contemplated erecting
a house on land situated on an un-
graded street, he could ascertain the
exact condition his property would be
left in after the street is graded.

PROPOSED NEW IMPROVEMENTS
FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC

That the Southern Pacific railroad
will begin work on the great tunnel
to be run under the Sierra Nevadas
between Cisco and Donner very soon
has been learned from authentic
sources.
With the completion of the cutoff
to Colfaf. the Southern Pacfc will
have a double track from Sacramento
to Colfax. The work of double-track-
ing will then be continued to the west
end of the tunnel and from the east
end of the tunnel to Ogden.
The tunnel under the mountains will
be nearly six miles long and will be
one of the greatest engineering
achievements in the world. BY it's
use the Southern Pacific will shorten
the distance across the Sierras, gain a
better grade and be practically free
from trouble with snow.
Wireless Phones for the Union Pacific.
That the Union Pacific plans to
equip it's entire system with wireless
telephones for sending messages from
moving trains to stations along the
line is the announcement of DR.. Frede-
rick Milliner, of Omaha, an electrical
expert in the employ of the railroad,
who is now in New York city.
"We have decided to adopt the
wireless telephone which our expert
mental work shows to be entirely
practical" Milliner told the New
York Railroad club at their annual
meeting. "Within year or SO wire
less telephoning from moving trains
will be daily feature of trains on
the Union Pacific. Two wireless sta
tions will be established this summer,
one at Sidney, Nebraska, and the other
at Cheyenne, Wyoming, l03 miles
apart, on single line. We expect to
keep up communication with moving
trains between these stations and 9th

will be stretched on top of the cars.
