WEIGHT AND MEASURE LAW

Keno, December 26, 1911.
To the Public:
The Act of the Twenty-fifth
Legislature fixing the standard
weights and measures and regulat-
ing the sale of commodities and
articles of merchandise according
to such standards will become
effect I've January l, 1912.
Section Is of this Act presents
some. difficulties in it's interpret
alton, but the meaning of this
section has been determined after
careful consultation and will
probably stand the test.
The Unit of standard measure
of length, surface or solid; the
Unit of standard of weights: the
Unit of standard of measure Of
capacity for liquids and the Unit
of standard capacity of commodi-
ties other than liquids are in &C.
cordance with the standards of
weights and measures adopted and
provided for by the government of
the United States. The University
of Nevada has ordered a set of
each Of these standard weights and
measures which will be sealed by
the Bureau of Standards and kept
for comparison at the University.
The working sets of these
weights and measures together
with a stamp for sealing the
scales that are approved by the
deputy sealers Of weights and
measures are provided for every
day work.
Sections IL, 10, ID. Is. 10 and
II can be readily understood. 1t
was probably the intention Of the
Legislature that Section l8 should
not be Interpreted in the sense of
the "original package" which has
been defined by the Supreme Court
of the United States, but was
intended to allow the bringing into
the State by manufacturers or
growers without the State those
articles which usually are put up
in small packages, as for example,
garden seeds. This section un.
dOubtedly discriminates sqainst q
manufacturer or grower in Ne.
vada.
1t is the duty Of the sea]er and
his duly authorized deputies to
test and approve all weights,
measures. balances ard measuring
device with seal to be kept by
him for that purpose.
The law provides penalties both
for the public and the scaler and
his deputies for any violation Of
the provisions of this Act.

UMPIRE JOHNSTON
SPEAKS HIS PIECE

New York. Oct. 6.-Umpire James
Johnston. who was called down ex-
tensively through the season by Nc.
Graw. says that the worlds series will
be n Of the greatest twirIing duels
In the history of the game. ut looks
like the Giant-Athletic series will be
marked by some great pitching bat
ties. Can you imagine a harder prob
lem to figure out than the winner of
a duel between Eddie Plank and Rube
Marquard. with both men fit and
ready?
plank is the American leagues
star southpaw, while Vanguard is the
greatest lefthander in the National
league. The fur will also fly when
George Wiltse and Harry Krause hook
up. Krause beat the st. Louis Browns
the other day. 1t looks like Connie
Mack has been giving the lad a spe-
cial preparation for the worlds Sc
ries.
"Then the righthanders, Mathew
son and Bender, will renew the old
argument Of 1905. Matty tomahawk-
ed the Indian; chief to a finish in that
series. and I guess the redman will
have his scalping knife sharpened for
Big Six II the two clubs clash this
month.
Jack Coombs. who proved Mack's
star twirler against the Chicago Cubs,
will also take a fling at Mathewson
during the series. McGraw has Ames
and Crandall in reserve. It promises
to be a fight between two Of the
greatest twirling corps in major lea
que ball."

IS THE
STAR SLUGGER

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 6.-When 1t
comes down to the question of cham
pion home run hitting, Dan Murphy,
who is old enough to know and wise
enough to remember the figures. takes
strenuous exception to the statement
that Jawn Freeman, alias Buckle, only
had twnty-five homers for the big lea
que record.
Daniel states. and with positive en-
phasis, that Buck walloped the pill
for twenty-seven of these four-sack-
ers, m he offers to wager all kinds
Of mintage that he is right. No less
authority than the expert mixologist,
Ossie Shreckengost, who Is now
warming up the pitchers at Boniface
Kilroy's. agrees with Daniel.
Dan says that Buck made most Of
these hits when the Washington ball
park looked like a bandbox, and the
fence in right used to be against the
first baseman's back.
