Opera house on the evening of

could not as well have been said by
many another man. What gave
Folks words their weight was the
achievements of the man behind
them. While many men have been
bearers and sayers of the word of
civic righteousness here has been a
doer of them. Here is a man

NEW FISH LAW

This morning in the Senate Rill
NJ. GO, Introduced by Senator Miles.
for the protection and preservation
of the fish in the streams and lakes
of this section, was passed. The
new law makes number of
changes in the old law and will be
Of interest to the Waltons of Me-
vada. The main idea of the bill
is to further protect the fish and
prevent The unlawfur catching of
them. To close the season when
the fish are spawning.
Last season on the Tru ,kee River
tons of fish were taken from that
stream at the time then they were
heavy "ith spawn. The bill aims
to prevent repetition of this
useless waste of fishlife that in the
end more people can enjoy fishing
legally and honestly. An amend
meat was proposed. opening the
Truckee River at the time the fish
we're running up the stream to
spawn. The amendment was lost as
it should be. The Truckee River is
great stream but there are
other streams in Nevada that need
as much consideration and protec-
ton. which the new law provides
for.
The bill provides for a closed
season between the sixteenth day
Of October and the thirtieth day
of April. In other words the
season for fishing is.frcm the first
of May until the sixteenth day of
October. giving the angler a
chance at the stream with rod and
line at the time when the streams
are at their best. The dates are
set for the protection of the fish
and not the benefit of the angler
who would takesish heavy witheggs.
The law prevents the trapping,
GraDpng and other unsportsman-
like methods. No more than ten
pounds of fish may be taken in one
day by an angler. provided that
nothing in the Act shll prevent the
taking Of 10 trout or salmon in one
day by the angler.-Appeal.

THE STATE ROAD
Editor independents:


Senator Coryell's state road bill,
presented last week to the legis-
lature, appeals to me so strongly
that l can not resist asking you to
publish few lines from my pencil.
do most strongly and heartily
endorse this move. The opportunity
for it is fully ripe. Nevada today
has almost every natural as every
artificll and domestic advantage she
could ask for, excepting the one
great and important development.
good public roads.
The state today is practically with
out "a system of public roads. The
progress and Prosperity of state or
locality is more known and judged
by its system of public roads than
by any ar even half dozen features
or developments that could be put
forth.
20 We are amply blessed with rail-
roads across our great state, and
with many tributaries leading to
them from The remo,e districts.
But you will agree that railroads
are built for people to travel over
who have money and want to spend
it in that partiular way, and not
for the great majority of people
who do not have the money to take
them on railroad trains. but do
have wagons and teams and few
farming implement, with family
of children, and a homcstcader's
right with which they would sc
to a new country, such as ours.
and with their muscles and energy
intermingled with our great
climate and fertile soil, produce
wonders heretofore unhcard of in
our state.
What we need now above ali
things for the development OF
eastern, northern and western Ne
vada is a modern turnpiked state
road from the Utah Nevada line
down the Humboldt and UP ihc
Truckee river to the Nevada. Calf
onia line. For us to have it, the
state must tuild it; for the several
counties through which the road
would run to build it at their own
expense would be more than the
countries could bear. Once this
grand trunk is built by the state,
the. several counties could then
build the branches and tributaries
into their Innermost districts by
which we would have system of
public roads that would be a credit
to any state.
A word as. to the convict part
of the proposition. As long as we
are sovereign, we must and will
have convicts. We must feed,
clothe, doctor, preach to and
protect them. This all costs heavy
expense to the taxpayers of the
state. We a II agree that man is
in better condition, morally,
physically and mentally, employed
than idle Besides that way
establishes an everything good that
humanity will aways enjoy.
have repeatedly heard the
question asked "How can the
convicts be handled, how can they
be cared for, how can they be held,
etc." ] wish to simply say that
about twenty-five of our sister
states are making use Of their
convict labor, to build public
roads and with perfect success.
The warden of the penitentiary,
our governor and his staff are
there for that purpose. Let's
leave the entire management of
the enterprise to them.
