LARGEST LEGISLATIVE
HALL IN THE WORLD
NOT \ QUESTION OF MEMBERS
SO MUCH As 4 PROBLEM IN
FURNITURE THAT MAKES THE
HOUSE UNWIELDY.

Our national House of Representa-
.tives is often referred to as an I'M
wieldy body, and the prospect of a
still further enlargement of its mem
bership under the new apportionment
causes great alarm TO some timorous
souls. But compared with the legisla-
tive bodies of other natoins the House
of Representatives is by no means ex-
cessive in size. The Reiehstag of
Germany has 397 members, the
French CHAMBER of Deputies 5S4 and
the British House of Commons go
members. The present membership
of the House of Representatives is
391, and the purpose is to enlarge 1t
to 433. so that the States whose popu-
lation has greatly increased since the
taking of the preceding census may
get the increased representation to
which they are entitled without re-
ducing the present representation of
States whose population has remain
ed stationary or increased only slight
ly. Even thus enlarged, however. tine
House would not be diversified in COM
parison.
As it is the size of American Con-
gressional constituencies is nearly
twice that of an average constituency
represented in the German R~eichstag
it is more than twice the average of
French and nearly four times the
average size of British Parliamentary
constituencies. The basis of the next
apportionment is to be one Represen-
tatiye in Congress to each 211,000
inhabitants; the basis of representa-
ton in France is one Deputy to each
100 600 inhabitants: the Reiehstag
membership is equivalent to one for
each 10000, and that of the House
OF Commons to one for each $4,000
Inhabitants. German and British
electoral constituencies, however.
vary greatly in size. 1t might be re-
marked of our Congressional eonsti-
tueneies, instead of Congress itself.
that they have become unwieldy.
While 1t cannot be said that we have
suffered any particular inconvenience
from this condition. yet it might be-
come i%nconvenient il the basis of re-
presentation should be increased
greatly beyond the present figure of
nearly a quarter million.
What gives the House of Repre-
~sentatives the appearance of nweil-
diness is NOT the number of its men,
bers, but the size of the chamber in
which 1t meets and the disposition of
the seats. The enormity of the cham

MUCH ACTIVITY
IN ELKO COUNTY
OLD CAMP OF TUsCARORA WILL
BE MADE TO Hun BY EASTERN
MIN AND MONEY-OTHER
CAMPS PROSPEROUS.

Several strikes and recent develop
ments of mining properties in Elko
county, have contributed towards the
interest now being shown in that dis
triet. Concerning the prospects in
that vicinity a recent visitor says:
Ten years ago Tusearora, 40
miles north of Elko in Elko county.
was one of the leading gold camps of
northeastern Nevada. For a time, il
was abandoned on account of certain
legal complications: but now il Is
being opened up by eastern capital
lists. Machinery is being shipped to
the mine through Elko and already 2
pump is at work. In its abandoned
condition, the mine became flooded;
and larger pumps r necessary in
making a thorough renovation before
work is continued.
For some time past. the capital
lists now interested in the old camp
have been making preparations for a
a big investment in the spring and
therefore an onrush is expected.
"Jarbidge. the new mining camp
in the northern part of the county. is
attracting considerable attention, and
men are passing through Elko every
day, determined TO give the new dis
trict a thorough search. The Paylaek
is advancing rapidly with its mill.
which will be completed within so
days.
"A new strike has been made near
Buckhorn, 100 miles west of Elko.
Buekhorn, itself has been working
for one year But five miles south
east of that camp, Charles Hickey,
an Elko man. has made a strike
which mining men claim has a great
er future than the Buekhorn. 1t
shows a 12-foot ledge which assays
$4,000 gold and is a free milling
proposition. Buckhorn is quiet and
will be until April.
"Elko is growing all the time. a
big new court house costing at least
$50 900 beisg nearly completed. A
fine new school house has been erect
ed the past year as we'll as several
business structures.
THE sheep on the ranges are in
excellent condition on account of the
mild winter; and the farmers have
scarcely touched their winter supply
of hay"

cause it is the most healthy physical
exercise they can have. The good
rider brings every muscle into play;

The outdoor life lived by the boys
is the thing that carries them into a
profitable old age. Without my plains

GCGGENHEIM TALKS ON
COPPER SITUATION

According TO a report from Den
Yer recently, Daniel Guggenheim,
president of the American Smelling &
Refining company, yesterday deelar-
ed the production of the metal in the
United States in the year just ended
was close to 44S, 1872 .00U pounds, an
increase of 3 per cent in a year, and
declared that this year the worlds
stock of copper is likely to show a
decrease of $4,000, 900 pounds, while
present stocks on hand are not ex-
cessiye.
The demand in Europe has been
greater during the last year than in
any previous year" said Mr.. Guggen-
helm. Here the buying of copper
has been lore spasmodic than in
Europe, but the consumption has in
creased about 10 per cent in 1910
over 1909.
The leading consumers in this
country would welcome stability in
the price of their raw material.
frequently a buyer OF a manufactured
copper desires to make contracts for
a years supply, but 1t is impossible
for the manufacturer TO cover such
contracts at a corresponding purchase
OF raw material. He is obliged 10
take the risk of market fluctuations.
II the desired uniformity in prices is
of advantage to both producer and
consumer, there seems to be no rea-
son why an agreement bringing il
about should not be made strictly
legal, and thus relieve this great and
growing industry from a serious
handicap"
Mr.. Guggenheim said that the pro.
duction of copper in the United States
for 1910 is likely to be 4~4S,132,00O
pounds, which shows an increased
production of 3 per cent over 1909,
while the exports and domestic de-
~liveries of copper in 1910 shows an
increase of 5k per cent over 1903

SOME STARTLING PREDICTIONS
Race suicide Growing at an Alarm
ing Rate Says Authority.

Here is food for thought which will
be interesting to many who study
conditions and the trend of the times.
There will be no children in the
United States under ; years of age
in the year 2020. Babies, according
", will have disappeared from this
country as early as 2015.
This is the mathematical c%onclus-
ion of Professor Walter F. Wilcox, of
Cornell University, announced to the
American Statistical association
Monday afternoon.
The only hope of securing babies in
the United States after 2020. accord
ing to Professor Wlicox's calculations
is in possible importation from
France. He says France will con-
tinue to have babies so years after
the United States has quit.
There is proportionately nor ace
suicide in the United States than in
France said Professor Wilcox.
An endowment for the stork was
recommended u the American So
eiologictl association by George How
ard. professor of sociology in the
University of Nebraska. In his ad-
dress on the Social Control of Do
nestle Relations he declared the
state should honor motherhood by en-
downing mothers.
Parents who raise families" he
said. are entitled TO payment and
security from the state, the same as
the soldier and the judge and any
other public servant. The woman
who gives a child to the state should
be allowed an income by the state for
taking care of that child. That
would make the mother the ruler of
the home. That would be social

THE SLAUGHTER OF DEER.

Tit Outing Magazine has been try
ing for some time to secure reliable
estimates as TO the condition of game
of all kinds in this country as regards
increase or decrease and protection.
OF course it is practically impossible
TO secure anything like an acurate
census OF the numbers of many kinds
of game, but in some cases. notably
that of deer. moose. elk. bear, sheep
and goats fairly reliable guesses can
be made by game wardens and state
game commissioners.
In the February number space
is given to the deer and the probable
number in the states of Maine, YER
mount, Massachusetts, Michigan.
Minnesota. Montana, New York, Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and
Colorado. Letters received from the
game commissioners of these states
give a fairly reliable figure of the
number killed during the hunting
season of 1910. The number of deer
in these few states is approximately
ESQ, 900.
Out of this number for the season
of 1910, the official figures show that
about 40. 700 deer were killed in sea-
son and probably as many more out
of season. To be sure these figures do
not point to any definite conclusion:
being official they do lot bear on the
cases that evade the official eye and
are often more dangerous and difi-
cult to deal with.
These figures are offered merely as
raw material for consideration and
deduction. One thing, however, is
sure, that the real problem of game
preservation lies in the control of the
local hunter.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

A SYSTEMATIC ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN OF THE RESOURCES
OF NEVADA SHOULD BE IN
AUGURATED AND MAINTAINED

From time to time in the past the
Goldfeld News has advocated a syste-
matte publicity campaign that should
strongly and attractively put before
the outside public the advantages and
of Nevada. In a timely
editorial that paper says hal this
need is now being widely recognized
throughout the state and Is being
considered by the state and county
officials as we'll as by private indi-
viduals is indeed gratifying, and 1t
is to be sincerely hoped that a def
mite, feasible and resultful publicity
plan be evolved and put into exeeu-
tion at once. True, there are and
have been for a long time, various
newspapers in the state that consis-
tently endeavor TO exploit the vast
~undeveloped Il of the state,
both mineral and agricultural. They
have done a great deal of good, but
their work is necessarily confined TO
a somewhat limited field. These pa
pers cannot afford to send out thou
sands of copies of their paper weekly
OF daily for general distribution.
They must necessarily confine their
circulation to their subscribers. And
thus they cannot Offset the distort-
ions of fact and absolute untruths
that are continually being published
about the state in outside publica-
tions, these articles written and pub
lished by men who have no eoncep-
tion of the state of Nevada as il is,
or as the actual conditions within the
state.
There is a well-defined public idea,
especially east of the Rocky noun
tains, hat Nevada is nothing but a
stretch of desert; that its inhabitants
are in a way se~mi-civilized; that the
"gun-man" is a prominent feature of
the landscape and that might makes
right. No story can be o. highly
sensational that comes out of Ne
vada. As people expect such reports
from the state of Nevada, the mag
gazine and the newspaper editor in
the asst accepts and publishes any
wild-eyed effusion evolved by the
abortive imagination of most any
long-haired scribbler whose closest
approach to Nevada has been the
Mississippi river. The editor not only
accepts and publishes such matter,
but calls 1t good stun The writer
is not to be blamed as long as the
editor accepts such trash and is will
ing TO pay for 1t.
Go outside of the state and talk
about the rich farming lands in Ne
vada and the mouth of your listener
is seen to stand agape in frank
amazement. Show him that most
I'M n county in Nevada is larger
than his entire state, and he is In a
state of collapse. Let him know that
of the mineralized empire within the
state not one-tenth of one per cent
has been Systematically prospected,

even walked over, he turns and tries
to flee. Get him in a corner where
he cannot escape. carefully give him

AN OLD MANS MEDITATONs.

By G. W. H) Methinks I hear the music now
 Bourne on the Zephyrs sweet, Like fragrance on a sunny day,
 Ere spring and summer meet. It is the melody of words,
 They reach my ears now, The voice of love that thrills my heart And clears my wrinkled brow. Like sweet perfume from full blown Her presence fills the air; And visions of her loveliness
 Form in the twilight fair. I feel, I hear, I know, I see,
 Though years ago she passed. To unknown bourne, untrOubled sea- Eternity so vast. Thus when the shades of evening draw Ger sunsets melting gold, l sit and muse on happy days Those happy days of old; Dusk turns to night, nor cen the stars Flash hospitality The dews of love spring to my eyes So dense I cannot see. And thus I sit and visit on,
 The one I love the best, Though many years ago she passed To the unknown land of rest: But time can never sweep aside
 The cobwebs of our fate; For | feel she fingers round me here When the hours are growing late.

 A revolving table for a farm kitch- en would certainly be help to the tired farmers wife with a lot of hir- ed men coming in for their dinner. Here is the idea in brief: Have the table made round, with a standard, one foot in height, in the center for holding a revolving shelf for dishes containing meat and vegetables. The men will be able to help themselves simply turning the revolving shelf till the desired dish comes within reach The tired woman after putting the dishes on the table will be able to get a little rest, instead of standing curing the meal to attend to the mems needs.

FROM A WOMAN'S
 VIEWPOINT

There is an old adage to the effect that if you give a Yankee a hack saw. screw driver land hammer he can build a house. That may have been true in Eye olden tyme'' judg- fng from some of the old homesteads in New England but in this age build ing construction has become a sci ence and today the workman is known by his tools..''
 We are not satisfied with merely a shelter to keep off the rain wind and snow but the home dwelling must be externally as well as in the interior, 1. forming to city ideas of architecture, old homesteads are being remodelled in an up-to-date style, modern convent ences are being installed with view to elegance, comfort and convenience. Hence the farmer not only seeks to improve the soil that yields livelihood for his family. but his home dwelling as well.
 And then there is another kind of building-that of character. Every man is his own architect, and the edi- flee reflects his own thrift or sloth- fulness. This is the most difficult kind of building because oft the foundation is laid on the quicksands of early en- vironment, inherent weakness or ignor- ance: and little wonder that there are so many ranshackle buildings of this nature. But it is within the power of every man to so build that there will be a constant remodelling of the old hack saw edifice, until it stands out a noble work of worthy effort.
 When the final judgment of the M MaSter Architect shall be passed upon cur building we will be commended for the general state of repairs, ac- complished through much patience and perseverance.
