STRONG PLAY
AT The NEVADA
FOR TONIGHT
I'm MAINE" WILL BE PRESENT.
ED BY THE RHYOLITE COM
PANY OF PLAYERS.
Keyada Historical Society.
Reno, Nevada

One of the dramatic events of
the season will be the presentation
of the melodrama, I'm Maine,' at
the Nevada theater this evening,
when the company from Rhyolite
will hold the boards.
The company played two nights
in Goldfield, and the press of that
city gives the company most flat
tering Endorsements. They give a
show decidedly superior to that Of
fered by the average travelling
troupe. And the play is one of the
old favorites that abound in Incl
dent, and appeals to the emotions
The company includes Mrs. Clay
Tallman, Miss Cats, Mrs. Smoth
and Miss Gladys Falconer E. P.
Smith takes the leading role, and
does it very acceptably.
Earle Clemens will be feature
of the show, offering several of the
latest vocal hits in his own mimi
table style.
Popular prices will prevail, and
the show is for this one night
only.
The Goldfield News of Saturday
has the following say of hese
Rhyolite people:
THE production of In Maine
given at the Hippodrome Saturday
evening by a capable company from
| Rhyolite and under the auspices
Of the local lodge of Elks, was
a decided success. The members
of the company furnished, because
of their histronic ability, a distinct
surprise. Many went probably just
to be agoing, but these remained
to praise and to congratulate the
players, who after the performance
were entertained with a dance and
refreshments at Elks' hall.
The house was crowded fro \
gallery to orchestra and every
minute of the evening was enjoyed
| This afternoon the performance was
repeated at a matinee, and this
evening there will be another show
for which there has been big
advance sale"

COMPROMISE
WAS REACHED
ON ASSESSMENT
HOW THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
ASSESSMENT WAS RAISED
$4,000 THIS YEAR.

Sheriff Ed Malley returned yes
terday noon from Carson, where
he had been for a week in his
capacity of assessor of Nye county
in attendance on the state meet
ing of assessors.
"The raise of $500 in the assess
ment of the Central Pacific, said
Mr.. Malley this morning, was the
result of a compromise, The as
SCISSORS of the counties through
which the road runs favored a levy
of $2S,000 per mile, the same as
last year. Those of us from the
southern counties wanted a higher
levy. So a compromise had to be
reached, and we settled on $31,500
After this agreement had been
reached some of the others, tc
make a showing on the record, vot-
ed for the higher figure. But the
vote at that time cut no ice what,
ever.
Altogether the meeting was &
harmonious one and the best o.
feeling prevailed. And the work ol
the board was transacted in a bus
inesslike Manner

SINCLAIR IS
REAPPOINTED
fire Chief
HIS REPORT FOR THE PAST
YEAR is A FAVORABLE
ONE FOR THE TOWN.

William J. Sinclair has been re-
appointed fire chief of Tonopah by
an appreciative board of county COM
missioners This will be his second
term.
The report of the fire chief for
the past year showed there were
fifty-three conflagrations during
that period, with a loss of $25,S62,
but that did not include the rail
road machine shops. In 1909 there
were forty-six blazes, with a total
loss of $3.50.
In Goldfield last year, by way
of contrast, the fire loss was $40,-
600, but this does not include the
big Consolidated MILL So it will
be seen Tonopah makes most ia
orable showing as compared with
its sister town.

Both appointments are popular
locally and give satisfaction on all

5000 PEOPLE
CENSUS GIVES
TO TONOP All
WHICH is ABOUT A HUNDRED
LESS THAN WAS LOCAL
LY EXPECTED.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton this morning to The Bonanza
read as follows
The census bureau announces the
population of Goldfield as 4S3S and
Tonopah 5000"
And so all speculation on this
subject is settled at last. While
the figures are little disappoint-
ing-and Goldfield perhaps feels as
badly over it as does Tonopah-
there is nothing to be done except
take our medicine.
In future, instead of boasting
1--WE have about 1900" it will be
1--WE have little over 4000-we
have grown since the census was
taken" In this way will we keep
the score even, census or no census.

This is the promise of Director
General d. G. Collier, whose intense
enthusiasm and enormous energy
are apparent in every movement
of the exposition. Plans of the
exposition grounds in Balboa park
have been completed by John c..
Olmstead, Americas foremost land
scape architect, who will remain
with the San Diego exposition un-
til the day of it's opening, These
plans call for more extensive
grounds and more buildings than
did the plans of either the Lewis
and Clarke exposition in Portland
or the Alaska Yukon exposition in
Seattle, add with the provisions for
larger and more comprehensive
archaeological and chronological dis
play than has ever been seen at
any worlds exposition of the past,
and for a great art museum and
spectacular features never before
attempted, the promise of the San
Diego exposition is for a more
attractive show than any ever held
in the great West.

WOULD HOLD UP PENSIONS
Till More Money Rolls In Governor
Warned Legislature Against
Big Appropriations.

ATLANTA.-Seeing a possible de-
felt of more than half million dol
lars in the state treasury for the next
two years or a quarter of million
each for 1912 and 1913 Governor
Smith sent a special message to both
houses urging reduction in appropri-
ations to keep them even with reve-
nue.. AS to the reason for this de-
ficiency the message said:
THE pension act of 1910 really
creates the deficiency"
Governor Smith estimated the 1911
revenues at IS, 100000; for 1912 at
IS, $50, 900; for 1913 at $500, 900.
The increase is estimated at the rate
Of 100000 a year the next two
years. General appropriations pass
ed by the house, the message sets
out, aggregate IS, $50, 900, while spe-
cial appropriations passed by the
house add 100000, a total of &c.
100000. The governor contends
that at this rate the excess in two
years will reach 100000.
Suggestions for cutting appropria-
tions to fit revenues as made in the
message are that the 100000 extra
voted to the common schools be can
celed; that the $4,000 special ap-
preparations for the state sanitarium
be cut to $4,000 and that the 1910
pension act be repealed until the
revenues will justify it.
The governor points out that by
acts of 1910 the common school fund
was increased 100000 and pensions
were raised $250,000, an increase in
these two items of $45O,000. The
pension increas left deficit of $40,-
600 this year, while 100000 is ap-
propriated for next year to the new
pension fund, adding $4,000 to what
it was for 1911.

THEY SANG AND THREW BALLS
Usual Scenes and Horse Play Marked
the Closing Hours OF the
Legislature.

ATLANTA.-The legislature for
this term closed at midnight Thurs
day. The adjournment was auto
matte.
A sealed message from Governor
Smith, motion for an executive ses-
sion, with a motion to adjourn, car
ried to prevent the session, prevented
the general assembly from adjourn
ing at o'clock.
The difference between the house
and senate on the appropriations bill
regarding the power to name pages
in the senate and on the common
school fund could have been adjusted
in all probability.
The usual singing bee, throwing of
paper balls, and horse play marked
the opening of the night session, in
the house, and the immediate recess
to await the senate's action on points
of difference.
Hollis of Taylor took the chair and
the entire house moved to take up
the Tippins bill.
Captain Foster of Floyd quelled
the tumult by appearing with song
book and started another singing
match.
Both sides took a recess at S:45
while the conference committees
worked to settle differences on the
appropriation bill.
During the recess Joe Hill Hall
was called on for a speech, but mod
estly stated that he was unaccustom-
ed to public speaking.
The session has been marked by
the mass of bills introduced and the
comparatively small number passed
In the house alone 693 were offered.
The senate had enough to make the
total a thousand.

TEXAS COTTON DETERlOATING
Galveston News Report Says Decline
in Condition Has Been Rap
id Since July 20.

Galveston-Dallas News published
its second report for the season on
the condition of the cotton crop in
Texas and Oklahoma comprising in
dividual reports from 725 CORES
pondents in those states. Compare
sons are made on a basis of 100 for
condition of the crop on the same
day in 1910. The reports are of even
date of August Sth.
These reports indicate on the above
basis 1922 for Texas and 110.9 for
Oklahoma.
Deterioration in the Texas crop
has been rapid since July 25th. Boil
weevils are doing but slight damage.
Boil and leaf worms are very de-
structive in central, north and east
Texas. Hot winds and continued
drouth have caused shedding and
premature opening of bolls in these
districts.
