SHUT OFF EARLY

Supt. Akin, of the Water & Light
company, announces that yesterday
the gas engine at the old power plant
broke down, and for that reason the
lights will be shut off between and
10 O'Clock each evening. AS it will
take from two to three weeks to over
haul and repair the engine, it is prob
able that this arrangement will con-
tinue until the new power plant is
started up, which will be as soon as
the brick work can be put in, or mat

SANTA ROSA FOR.
EST GRAZING RULES

In the publication of the Santa
Rosa forest grazing rules in last Thurs
days issue OF the Silver State, several
unintentional errors were made. Ths
rules should read as follows:
The secretary of agriculture has au-
thorized the gazing of 10000 head of
sheep and goats and 16,500 head Of
cattle and horses on the Santa Rosa
national forest during the season Of
1912, and the following grazing periods
have been established:
Cattle and horses--April Is to Oo
tober 81. Year long, beginning Apr.l
15.
Sheep and goats--~Iune Is to Octob-
er 81; May ] to October 81.
The secretary has taken under ad.
visement a readjustment of the year
long cattle rates, therefore the fees to
lie CliaIgcd for the above pertnss can
nor lie determined until aft j. Janu
AIRY |.
Since the number of sheep and ,ats
actually grazed on the forest during
the season of 1911 will have to be ma
terially reduced to meet the authorize
tion, preference will be given in the
following order:
/. Regular occupants of the range
who own improved ranch property
within or adjacent to the forest who are
dependent on the use of the national
forest range, and grazed not to exceed
1900 head of sheep or goats thereon
during the season of 1911.
.. Regular occupants of the range
who own improved ranch property
within or near the forest, who are de
pendent upon the use of the range ana
grazed numbers of stock in exees,
1900 head of sheep or goats during the
season of 1911.
:; Regular occupants of the range
wi o are citizens of the United States,
III; do not own ranch property.
4. All other occupants of the 'ange.
except aliens who own no ranch prop
cyty. The latter will be excluded.
Three consecutive years of use, in
luding the season Of 1911, will con-
st 'tnte regular occupancy of the range.

new ACT Will BE
effective JAN. |

Presidents Office, University of Neva-
da, Reno, December 26, 1911.
To the Public:
The act of the twenty fifth legisla-
ture fixing the standard weights and
measures and regulating the sale of
commodities and articles of merchan-
disc according to such standards will
become effective January l, 1912.
Section Is of this act presents some
difficulties in its Interpretation, but
the meaning of this section has been
determined after careful consultation
and will probably stand the test.
The unit of standard measure of
length, surface or solid; the unit of
standard of weights; the unit of stan
and the unit of standard capacity of
commodities other than liquids are in
accordance with the standards of
weights and measures adopted and
provided for by the government of the
United States. The University of Ne
vada has ordered set of each Of these
standard weights and measures which
will be sealed by the bureau of stand
ards and kept for comparison at the
university
Two working sets of these weights
and measures together with a stamp
for sealing the scales that are approx
ed by the deputy scalers of weights
and measures are provided for every
day work.
Sections 12, 13, A. Is, 16 and II can
be readily understood. 1t was prob
ably the intention of the legislature
that section IS should not be interpret
ed in the sense of the "original pack
age' which has been defined by the
supreme court of the United States,
but was intended to allow the bring
ing into the state by manufacturers
or growers without the state these ar.
ticles which usually are put up in small
packages, as for example, garden
seeds. This section undoubtedly dis
eliminates against a manufacturer OF
grower in Nevada.
1t is the duty of the sealer and his
duly authorized deputies to test and
approve all weights, measures, bal
ances and measuring devices, and fol
all those that are correct to mark such
weight, measure, balance or measuring
device with scale to be kept by him
for that purpose.
The law provides penalties both fol
the public and the sealer and his depu
ties for any violation of the provisions
of this act.

on having the new rates instead of
the old in all cases where the ship

PLAGUE SPOT SHOULD
BE ELIMINATED
Sink Hole OF Basin in Northwestern
Part Of City Should be
sss. Looked After.

Although the matter Of remedy
ing the old sink hole or basin at the
side OF the Northwestern railroad
tr1ck in the northeast part of town,
,1dFth Of the sinterlocking switch
,tpNsr, has been considered for some
Eene; nothing has ever been done to
sb4te the nuisance to the residents
iIStMat vicinity.
y hls hole is located on the right
ofsEay OF the Northwestern railroad
insthe rear OF the Peter Staenders'
home and is at present In very bad
eondition. A north side sewer also
empties into this basin. A ditch
was originally made to drain this
place into the river. this ditch al
so being located upon the right-of-
way Df the railroad company. How
ever. this Is filled up to such extent
that 1t is practically useless. Dur
ing hot dry weather especially, :hs
odor from this place Is terrible, po-
luting the atmosphere In that VI
cinity and endangsring the health
of the people who have to put up
with 1t.
This matter was taken up by the
city council two years ago but moth
ing was ever done to remedy the
evil. AS freezing weather is now
due the most disagreeable feature Of
this plague spot. as well as the dan
ger to health. will be eliminated or
reduced to the minimum until next
spring. when something should be
done to do away with the nuisance.
The first consideration In any city
is the good health Of its citizens
and this matter should be attended
to without further delay. There is
no excuse whatever, financial or
otherwise. which should stand in the
way Of proposition Of this kind.

THEY PETITION FOR
CONCRETE PAVING
Residents Of Elm and Boone Street
Will AK Council Use
That Material.

Petitions are out and being quite
generally signed by property OWL
ers directly interested asking the
council for concrete paving on Elm
and Boone streets. and probably
petitions will be presented
by residents OF the other streets
which are to be paved next year.
The petitioners ask the council to
make the pavement seven inches
thick. the mixture to be i've to one
and all Of one layer, with necessary
joints. The Freeman
Tribune believes concrete II the
thing for resident streets. It 10 DUR
able. more sanitary than brick and
much cheaper than other standard
materials. It would be good plan.
in the judgment of the Freeman
to mark out the pavement
in squares-say in blocks Ave or six
feet long by the same width. Not
lay the cement in blocks, but simp-
ly cut lines into 1t half inch or
SO. II this is done repairs can be
made without showing q patch. as
an entire square could be taken out
and replaced with new cement.
