NFyADANS ENJOY
HONOLULU SIGHTS
(Staff Correspondence.)
Honolulu. Jan. 25. 191


Editor Silver State:
The party Of Eastern Nevadans ar
rived here on the S. s. Sierra Friday,
the Goth. The steamer brought a large
passenger list of seemingly No. j peo-
pie, many of whom we found pleasant
acquaintances since our arrival.
Since coming ashore we have "pros-
pected' around considerably, but have
not yet taken in the sugar plantations.
The country around Honolulu seems
like what the Garden of Eden might
have been Only the most favored
spots of California can approach it.
The people seem to be mixed lot of
natives, Portuguese, Japs an dChinese,
with more children than | ever saw
elsewhere. However, schools seem to
be plentiful, which all children are
compelled by law to attend.
What the future of the country will
be, God alone knows. Queueless Chi
nese and the Japs seem to occupy all
the positions usually monopolized by
whites elsewhere AS a rule the hotel
clerks of the town are Cinnamon, while
the Japs seem to have a monopoly as
bartenders and streetcar conductors.
The police force is composed entirely
of natives, who are also the ruling
class politically.
We are expecting mail today. Have
had no word from the mainland since
leaving San Francisco. Owing to the
expense of cable messages, we get very
little news of the outside world ex-
cept by mail.
We are all enjoying our trip i'm
mensely and having good times every
day. Have set no date for our depart
ure yet, as much will depend upon what
the mail brings us today.
THOS. NELSON.

MANY DOGS POISONED
DURING TUESDAY NIGHT

Tuesday night the cowardIy dog
poisoner made cleanup in Winnemuc-
ca. Yesterday morning dead dogs lit
orally lined the streets and there was
mourning among the juvenile popula-
tion and dire threats of vengeance on
the part of their fathers.
For any person to wantonly scatter
poisoned meat about the streets for the
purpose of poisoning dogs savors of
murder, and case of this kind would
seem to be one of the few in which
lynch law is justifable. Men who pay
the town license on their dogs are en-
titled to protection, and the officers
should make an attempt to run down
the guilty parties and see that they
receive wellmerited punishment.

NO BIDS RECEIVED
FOR POSTOFFICE BUILDING

J. $. Roberts, postoffiee Inspector, re-
turned yesterday afternoon from the
northern part of the county, where he
visited several postoffiees. This was
the last day fer receiving bids for a
new postoffice building, Although the
time for receiving bids will close at
'cloek this afternoon, up to 3 O'Clock
none had been filed with Postmaster
Rogers. and it is not considered likely
that any will be filed. Just what ac-
ton will be taken now, if any, is un-
decided, but the probabilities are that
the postoffice will remain in its pres
ent quarters for some time to come.

CARSON CITY STRUCK
BY A REFORM WAVE

Carson special to the Journal un-
der date of Jan. 81, SAYS there is no use
denying the fact that the great reform
wave has struck Nevada, for legisla-
ton introduced in the legislature has
ably proved this fact.
Today announcement was made that
a bill amending the present divorce
law would be introduced by Hacker, of
Nye county, while later in the day
Salter, of Ormsby, introduced a meas
ure that, if it passes, deals a knockout
blow to prize fighting under license.
Hacker, following the announce
ment that he would introduce bill in
the near future to amend section % of
an act relating to marriage and di
vorce, stated that he had not complet-
ed the drafting of the bill and was yet
studying certain matters. However, he
stated that it was possible that his bill
would call for years residence with
in the confines of the state, and that
such residence must be bona fde, and
in line with the recent decision of
Judge Orr as handed down several days
ago in the Reno district court.
The reform urged by Salter calls
for the repeating of the act permitting
glove contests between man and man
This bill he introduced late in the day
and it was promptly labeled assembly
bill No. "a and was then referred TO
the committee on public morals.
Salter wanted the bill to go to the
judiciary committee, but the other
members Of the assembly decided that
he was wrong and the change was
made.
When the measure was up for first
reading and the clerk read the title
relating to the contests between "man
and man. Sshmidt, of Nye county,
asked that clause referring to bouts
between 'woman and woman be in
cluded. His request was not granted,
for it was shown that his motion was
clearly out Of order.

WOULD PURCHASE
HUMBOLDT ORES

f. NJ Manson, superintendent of the
Western Ore Purchasing company, is in
town today. This concern is one of
the largest of its kind in the country,
operating plants at Hazen, Millers and
Columbia, with facilities for treating
an aggregate of 1000 tons of ore ev-
cry "a hours.
Most of the ores treated come from
Goldfiefd and Tonopah at present from
l75 to 200 tons being shipped daily
from the latter camp to the company s
plant at MiIers. Formerly nearly the
entire output of the Goldfeld Conosli-
dated was handled by the Western Ore
Purchasing Co At the present time
however, the company is handling all
of its own ores, with the exception of
the extreme high grades and the tail
ings.
Seen by representative of the Sill
yer State today and asked concerning
the significance of his visit to Winnie
mucca, Mr.. Manson replied:
81 came to Winnemucca this morn
ing for the purpose of meeting Super
intendent Blood, of the 1910 mine at
Barrett Springs, with whom | have an
appointment for later in the day. 1t is
possible that we may arrange to handle
the ores of this promising camp at our
Hazen plant
What is the mining outlook
throughout the state?' queried the
reporter.
During the past sixty days ] have
visited every mining camp in my terri
tory, except those lying east of Battle
Mountain,' - replied Mr.. Manson, 'and
| am of the opinion that Nevada is on
the eve of the greatest boom in its his
tory. / believe this result due, in a
great measure, to the closing of
licensed gambling. The average pros
pector, as you are aware, is averse to
working much as long as he can make
a living by the easier method of gam
bling. When the games We're closed on
the first of last October, they all took

winter s work is now becoming ap-
parent"
Does your company receive ores
from all sections of the state,' was
then asked.
eve handle ores from all parts of
the state. with the exception of that
territory lying east of Battle Mountain
and a few camps in the extreme north
ern portion of the state. We have ar
with the railroad company
for a sampling in-transit freight rate,
by which parties living in Nevada west
of Battle Mountain may ship to Utah
or California common points at approx
mately the same freight rates, which
range from $500 to $1075 per ton, ac-
cording TO value.
"The Western Ore Purchasing com
pany, as its name implies, buys all ores
sent to it's Hazen plant, determining
their value from sampling a car, after
which il is paid for in cash and the ore
continued on to its destination.
"Thus far, we have had but one
customer in Humboldt eounty-the Ma
tional Mines eompany-but hope to be-
come better acquainted and eventually
handle all the ores produced in your

MASSES AT ST. PAUL'S
YESTERDAY AND TODAY

This morning mass was celebrated at
st. Paul's Catholic Church by Father
Meehan, in commemoration of the
Publication of the Blessed Virgin and
also the Presentation of Our Lord in
Temple at Jerusalem forty days after
His birth.
This is also called Candlemass day,
for Immediately before the mass can
dies used on the altar for the coming
year are blessed
Tomorrow will be the feast of St.
Blasius, bishop and martyr in the
reign of Emperor Diocletian. The very
pious custom of blessing throats on this
day is being revived and spreading
rapidly, for tradition has it that this
bishop miraculously cured boy af
fected fifth throat trouble. On the
morrow, at a. m, the intercession of
this famous saint will be invoked, and
the ceremony of blessing the throats
will be performed by Father Meehan.

DID NOT APPRECIATE EDI-
TOR BUCKS LITTLE JOKE

Sheri ingalls,, who went to Nina
last Saturday for the purpose of set

1t appears from the story told by

pany. Another individual erected ten
houses on the land eompany's property,
and, when the townsite matters were
adjusted the railroad was declared the
owner of property on which the resi-

PEPPER. as agent, attempted to col

the company, and asserts that the
Nina editor told him he would be
pleased to shoot up any and all South

his way in the immediate future.
Therefore, Sheriff ingalls, was
called into action, and Editor Buck
is alleged to have stated that he has
no designs on the life of Mr.. Pepper.
However, the latter fails to see the
joke and is now asking for peace
bond from the newspaper man.
District Attorney Emmett Walsh
has refused to issue warrant until
he has given the matter consideration

TO DOUBLE TRACK
SOUTHERN PACIFIC

The executive committees of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
lines, at meeting held in New York
Tuesday, voted to complete double
tracking of the lines from the Missouri
river to San Francisco. They also vot-
ed to double track the Oregon Short
Line from the junction with the Union
Pacific main line at Granger, Wyom-
ing, to Huntington, Oregon, also the
line along the Columbia river in Ore
gon to Portland.
The cost of the double tracking of
the lines as determined upon will ag-
gregate upward of $75,000,000, which
will be distributed over a period of
five years.
In statement accompanying the an
nouncement of the double tracking
project, President Hobert s. Lovett
commented on the reasons which had
impelled the roads to reach their de-
cision, and declared the belief of him
self and associates that present condi-
tions, considered unfavorable to the
railroads, were but temporary. Presi-
dent Lovett said that by July 1st the
lines west of Omaha would have about
$50 miles of double track.
"The entire country served by the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific sys-
tems,' Judge Lovett continued in his
statement, "is developing rapidly-in-
deed, it is only in it's infancy-and we
are convinced that its growth in popu-
lation and its agricultural and COM
mercial development must continue;
and it is our purpose to provide, it we
u4.A.
to accommodate the growing business.
True, the outlook in many respects
is unsatisfactory. With an increase of
wages all along the line, with the right
to increase or rates suspended by law,
and further regulations and hostile leg
islation threatened, and with investors
still timid and asking high rates for
money required by railroad companies,
it may seem a time for curtailment
rather than increased expenditures by
railroad managers. But we believe
these unfavorable conditions are tenn
porary. The growth and development
of the eountry-at least that portion of
it served by our lines-is bound to
continue. Nothing can stop it long.
We are sure it needs our railroads, and
all these facilities we are going to pro-
vide.
eve believe that in the long run the
people are going to treat railroad in
vestments just as they treat all other
investments for the development of
that section. They cannot afford any
thing else.
eff we wait until all difficulties are
out of the way we shall probably find
our lines falling behind instead of do
ing their share in the development of
the grow country in which they are
situated. We have kept abreast thus
far, and we intend to continue that
policy as long as we can, regardless OF
temporary disturbances of any kind.
"Plans for the construction of a
number of extensions and new lines
tributary to the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific in the west and north
west, which for some time have been
under consideration. were also approx
ed, the expenditures therefor to extend
over a period of six years.

Hearts Action and Aids in dag
nosis Of Disease.

Baltimore, Md.-An apparatus Is
now In use in the medical world for
measuring disturbances In the activ-
fly of the heart. 1t consists Of mag
net to which is attached a thin wire
through which an electric current Is
set in motion. The wire In turn II
attached to a mirror which reflects an
oscillating beam of light by the aid Of
a bow lamp on to sensitized photo
graphic paper. A line Is thus traced
on the paper In the same measure as
the current went out from the heart.
as shown In the accompanying illus
tration.
1t is known that an imaginary line
through the body has on one side all
the currents generated by one side of
the heart, and on the other side the
currents generated by the opposite
side, so that by connecting an cleo
trode to each side of the body, obliter-
ating all other currents of the body by
placing them as nearly as possible at
rest, the physician has the current of
the heart where he can measure and
examine 1t.
The patient is put at rest. one cleo
trode is fastened to his arm, and one
