Rough Road
for Big Timbers

This morning Jim McCallum came
into town with fifty -hve-foot stick
OF timber. The timber was cut green
at a point near the Summit and
brought to this city and will be haul
ed to Silver City TO be used by Prof.
Phillips at his cyanide plant and mill.
This is the second timber that Mr..
McCallum has brought out in the
past week. The other was a third
larger than the present piece. The
first one was nearly three feet at the
butt and over two and a-half at the
small end and sixty feet long.
1t took some tall engineering tc
bring these massive and unwieldy
pieces from the camp down Clear
Creek to this city. 1t was a case Of
use horses on both end of the rig
that was fixed for the purpose. On
account OF the extreme length the
long timbers would not round the
sharp curves OF the road. It was then
necessary to hitch the team on the
rear end and swing it back into po-
sition. 1t required two days hard
teaming to get the first large timber
down the grade.
The big pieces are to be used as a
derrick at the slum ponds in Silver.
The main pole is to be 90 feet high,
while the boom carrying the power
shovel is 80 feet long. The two
pieces of timber brought out will be
spliced and then set up Mr.. Phil
lips rugged such derrick last spring
but owing to faults in the original
timber it broke and destroyed several
thousand dollars worth of castings
and other property. He is taking no
chances in the future and placed the
order for red fir to be cut green and
, hauled to the place of operations.
, The pieces will be shaped after they

Many People to
Visit Glenbr0Ok

a large number OF Carson City
people are. going up TO Glcnbrook
to spend Sunday, and will remain
there for few days,
Among this number are several
who have purchased lots in the new
subdivision known as "Glenbrook
Links" and which has just been put
on the market III Carson City. They
are going up to make their selections
and seemed particularly pleased that
they were favored in being given the
preference over the other towns,
both in this state and in California.
Fishing at the Lake has been un-
usally good this season. and as the
season has been a backward one the
fishing will be even better during
August than il has been in July
Bathing at Glenbrook has been III
dulged in more than ever, and with
these warm days scores of boys and
girls as we'll as older folks can be
seen sporting around on the beach
or swimming arounl the old Glen
brook wharf. One can wade out quite
a distance at Glenbrook and the
danger is practically nil.

Golf course lays, or in other words

EXPERIMENTS ON new SCHEME:
Succeeds in Grating Wild Peach
Into Useful Fruit

peach has been regarded as simply
beautiful Towering shrub in the
spring, as thousands of blossoms
appear on each branch. The fruit ori
ginally grows to the size of an al
mond and is as far as known useless
to mankind By proper grating il is
believed that this can be made
fruit of general use and there would
be an abundance of the crop yearly.
Some years. ago the Appeal sug
geested that such an experiment be
carried on by some one who knew
the business. There is also a wild
cherry that bears heavy in this sec
ton of Nevada. 1t annually bears a
heavy crop and seems to survive the
hard winters and late frosts. The
probabilities are that this fruit
would also be productive with graft

Carson Climate
is Appreciated

Mr.. Daugherty, who has been
spending nearly year i'll this city
and who experienced our winter and
likewise our present summer, Is en-
thusiastic over the weather condl-
tions. tie states that why any Ne
vanan wants to talk going to any
other section for weather Is stickcr
with him. The winter, he declared,
was all that any one could ask. he
was led to believe that il was OF a
severe nature, but in spite OF the
storms and snow there was plenty OF
Sunshine at that season.
The summers are, he declared,
ideal. The days are warm but not
oppressive, while there has not been
a night but that it was necessary to
crawl under the bed clothes. Such
weather in any of the Eastern cities
would be at a premium. He insists
that the Nevadan does not appreciate
the conditions that nature has been
lavish with.

RENO WILL HOLD CELEBRATION
Date to be Fixed for JOllificati0n
Over Rate Decision

Reno people are going to celebrate
the event OF the decision by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, where
by Reno and Nevada benefit by the
knocking out OF the back-haul OF
freight and the general reduction OF
commodity rates over the railroads
To- all points in the state.
A mass meeting has been called
which will meet and day set for
the celebration, in which the other
nearby cities will be asked to get in
and have a good time. 1t is propos-
ed TO make it grand jolliiication
and TO demonstrate through this
means the general feeling OF the
public. The Journal states:
At the mass meeting the people
will be uurged to prepare for mon
ster celebration on the order indulg-
ed in by Spokane when the good
news came to the Northern city.
Yesterday the Commercial Club
members said that if Spokane could
afford to spend thousands OF dollars
for red fire and bands on account OF
the decision, Reno certainly was in
as good position. for Reno will gain
as much and more than Spokane.
One man said the reduced rates
would mean as much as $50 10 each
man, woman and child in the state
every year on freight rates alone.
Commissioner Shaughnessy. when
seen later, said that basing the cal
culation on the shipments OF 1908,
the reduction would mean a saving

Reno OF from 100000 to $6O0O00 a
year 1t would be as though that
much money was given to the people
every year
That the Sacramento jobbcrs real
ize that the decision means the end
OF their long-di. 'ance sovereignty
over the Nevada trade is evidenced
by the following statement made by
Gs J. Bradley, manager OF the SaGra-
mento Merchants and Manuiactur
ers' association:
From terminal rate standpoint,
the decision OF the interstate comm
cree commission as reported by the
press, is not very encouraging. 1t
practically means the elimination OF
the Sacramento jobber from large
dIstributive territory which he has
heretofore enjoyed. except on Pacific
coast products, but as we have no
manufacturers OF importance ON the
coast, we cannot expect to serve ter
ritory such as Nevada on commodi-
ties OF middle west production. as
their rates are only IS per cent
higher than ours and unless our
alter rates are very materially re
duced we will be barred from that
territory. AT present labor canditions
in California are such that we are
unable to bring in the raw and dis
tribute the manufa ctured product in
competition with eastern manufact-
urers."

COUNTY TREASURERS
Attorney General Would investigate
Legality Of Salaries

The following self-explanatory let
ter has been sent by the attorney
general to the chairman of the senate
judiciary committee:
Hon. Ira Curtis. Chairman,
Judiciary Committee, Pierre.
Dear Sir: The question has arisen
in many of the counties of the state.
MS to whether or not county treasur-
ers are legally entitled to receive the
salaries that are being paid them.
Under Chapter III of the Session
Laws of 1909 the law provides In
Section / that the county treasurer
shall receive four per cent of said
taxes collected only. Section two
provides that the county commission
ers shall make an annual levy for a
sum sufficient to- pay the county Of
ficers. Section $40 of the Political
Code Of 1908 provides that the coun-
ty treasurers shall receive salaries OF
not to exceed fifteen hundred dollars
in counties of less than fifteen thou
sand inhabitants, end in counties
having more than fifteen thousand in
habitants they will receive not to ex-
coed two thousand dollars per annum.
The legislature. in passing Chapter
III OF the session laws Of 1909, evil
IDENTIFY did not take into consideration
the fact that the Office of county
treasurer is q fee office.
In the county of Trip, for instance,
where there is great deal Of indian
land, the treasurer of Trip county
will receive about one hundred dol
lars per year for his salary by strict
construction OF law. This matter
has been evaded by some of the coun-
ties by having the county commission
ers fix the salary of the county treas
urcr arbitrarily, but there is grave
question whether or not this liking
of salaries by the county commission
ers is in violation of Section G, Article
9 OF the Constitution, and must, UNI
doubtedly be delegation OF power If
they have such authority. AS the
courthouse in Trip county recentl'
burned. destroying many of the rev.
ords of the county, there will be
great deal OF work placed upon the
shoulders OF the county treasurer, and
If he cannot receive, legally more
than One hundred dollars year he
will undoubtedly resign.
If this matter were brought before
the judiciary committee they would
undoubtedly see the necessity OF inn
mediately framing a bill to meet this
situation. Very truly yours.
