DEFICIT MADE GOOD

Whatever may be the opinion of
the country at large as to the political
methods pursued by Postmaster-Gen-
eral Hitchcock, all must admit that he
is a man possessing wonderful execu-
tive abilities. Taking the postoffiee
department, with its annual deficit of
millions, in two years he has placed
it on a paying basis.
The result has no doubt been accom-
plished by applying sound modern
business methods to the work, and
should this enterprising official remain
in Office for another two years, penny
postage may be the result.

Sheriff E. E. Harrison is making
preparations to leave for Michigan
to bring back Byron O'Hara and
Victor Clare the suspected South
ern Pacific train robbers.
The latest development in the
case is the turning over to the
authorities of a steel pin, which
was discovered in the Pullman car
in which VIM. Davis the colored
porter was shot and killed. This
pin is from the magazine of a
pump shotgun and as the pin
is missing from the gun which
was. found in the brush near
Warren recently the officers are
satisfied that a direct connection
has been established between the
gun and the holdup of the Over
land Limited.
Sheriff Harrison has secured a
number of important affidavits
which he is convinced will quickly

THE WEIGHT AND MEASURE LAW

Within the next week or tem days
Prof. S. G. Dinsmore of the Ne
vada agricultural experiment
station will issue a circular letter
for the benefit of the merchants
and G general consumers as well
of the state explaining the technic-
al points of the weights and
measures bill, as introduced by
AssembIyman Frank Mayors in the
last legislature. and which has
since become law. Prof. Dins-
more has been preparing the
circular for the last two weeks
and has abolt completed his labors.
The letter will be very interest
ing to both the dealers and con-
SON mers in that it goes in to
every little detail of the new law
which is intended to do away with
! he misrepresentation of weights
of commodities sold to the general
public.
1t has beeC discovered that the
new law will not effect goods that
! are packed out of the state. This
means II at all commodities in car 8
or packages need not be labeled
with the true weight if they have
been prepared and packed by a
foreign concern.
However, an exception is made
Of butter snd fruits sold by the
basket. 1t is the intention Of the
commission in charge to strictly
enfoce the provision relating to
the above mentioned articles
especially the selling of butter. All
rolls or packages of this dairy
product must be plainly marked
with the exact weight and any and
all violations will be followed by
a suit to enforce the law. Par
ticular attention will be paid to
the wood and coal industry. for the
new legislation calls for the
presentation of statement in
writing of the exact amount of
wood or coal delivered to a
purchaser who has contracted for
a stated amount. This will mean
that in the future a ton of coal
will weigh 1000, and that the day
