ELK AND BUFFALO IN
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK

The elk that winter in the Yellow
stone National park now aomunt to
over 10000 according to the report of
the acting superintendent of the park
Just made public by the department of
the interior. "The problem of handl-
ing this large herd of elk to the best
advantage says Lieutenant Colonel
Brett, "'has become an important one,
and one in which many are interest
ed. The department of agriculture
has, in the interests of the elk, limited
the grazing districts for sheep in the
national forests adjoining the park.
The states of Montana and Wyoming
have set aside game preserves adjoin-
ing the park for the protection of the
elk and other game, and the latter
state, as well as the Federal govern
ment, has spent money to feed the elk
that winter in Jackson Hole. -
s'The buffalo in the park - says
the acting superintendent are in two
herds-a wild and tame one. A
special effort was made during the
month of July. to determine as nearly
as possible the exact number of buff
falo in the wild herd in the park.
Forty-nine animals, including ten this
wears calves, were counted. This is
the largest number reported for more
than ten years, and the number of
calves indicates that the herd is thriv-
ing beyond expectation.
q At the present time there are l43
animals in the tame herd, fifty eight
males, sixty-one females and twenty
four this years calves.

SYNOPSIS OF
THE LOTTERY MAN

In spite of the fact that it is con-
trary to law, a lottery will be conduct
ed in this city next Tuesday, at which
time the drawing will take place on
the stage of the Nixon opera house.
Inc prize viii be a young, handsome
and manageable man. In fact the lot
terry is so conducted that only women
are allowed to participate in the
spolls. = The prize in question is
Herbert Thayer, one of the best
known leading men of the American
stage. Mr.. Thayer, of course, is the
LOTTERY man in the play Of the
same name, which now, after it's long
engagement at the Bijou theatre in
New York, is being sent to this city
by Merle H. Norton.
The story, by Rida johnson Young,
author of Brown of Harvard is
far away one of the most interesting
that has ever been woven into dra-
matte form for comedy. Jack
Wright, New York newspaper re-
porter, borrows money of the editor,
Foxey Payton. As security, he gives
his promise that, in the event he loses
the money, he will write one of the
biggest exclusive news stories the pa
per has ever published The reporter
loses and he is sorely beset when it
behooves him to produce the "scoopD
However, he makes good with a ven
geance. He outlines plan for the pa
per to conduct lottery, selling
tickets at ore dollar a piece and he Of
fers himself as the prize. The first
day the story appears, over one thous-
and old maids clamor for the coupons.
Money seems to be no object. Mean
time Jack falls in love with Helene
Heyer and from then on, his one aim
is to defeat his own scheme.
Imagine the horror of thinking
the first woman you meet on the street
may be your wife, says the reporter.
So all hands set about purchasing
coupons. The lucky number, how
ever, falls into the hands of the sery-
ant in the Payton home. Lizzie
(Emelie Woodward) steals the ticket
and claims Jack as her lawful hus-
band. She is threatened with arrest
and finally disgorges and the coupon
falls into the hands of Helene. The
cast is the original one.

THE RIVALRY BETWEEN
AUTOS AND RAILWAYS

1t is already in the way of positive
proof (the proof presenting itself ev-
cry now and again in the shape of mo-
tor-impelled vans and lorries convey
ing heavy as well as light goods upon
country roads, that the railway com
panies, at any rate the railway com
panes with terminals in London, Will
comparatively soon be in grips with
formidable competitors. Formidable,
largely because of the favorable con-
ditions under which the new rivals en-
ter the struggle. The railway com
panes may be free from the light
licensing fee and fuel tax to which
the omnibus and lorry companies are
subject, but they have had to pay
heavily for the land constituting their
roadwavs. as well as for the rails over
which their vehicles run; whereas, the
omnibuses and the lorries have free
run, the community at large not only
nfoviding the road which is so sub
stantial factor in their business, but
keeping ii in repair. But let the fac
to-s be what they please, there is
Ground for the impression that the
fght has already assumed character
which furnishes the railway companies
with reason for serious reflection. An
extension of the motor omnibus service
into Essex hrs produced a material re-
duction in the railway eompany's re-
CENTS from passenger fares--in the case
cf one station. il is asserted, TO the
measure of $500 per week. What pas
seugers find easier and cheaper, pro-
eqcers and purchasers of goods, with
the direct contact from door to door,
vithout any transshipments which the
motor lorry gives them, will in all
rrol ~ ilitv also welcome most cordial
w. The motor lorry, in fact, may play
? considerable part in the rural evolu'
ton toward which we seem to be slow
" moving.
" 20 and more vii agriculture de-
volop the business spirit, and when the
work of feeding their fellow citizens
has got, to a big scale into the con-
t~ol of our farmers and peasant pro-
viders, the motor-propelled van or
lorrv is likely to figure as an instru'
ment of great Importance. II does
not, however follow from this that
the motor lorry will be an instant
success-experimen enterprises are
often attended by disappolntmentsi
besides. the great London companies
VI carriers may stHt ih' AN'i'"N
it probable that any railway company,
least of all the Great Eastern company,
who deals with some 1000 tons of par
cells, parishable goods and the like per
day, is going to sit complaeent while
it is being robbed of traffic; 1t may
reduce rates, it may introduce hght
railways. it may run lorries itse,f.
Nevertheless, it looks as If on an eariV
day the motor van and motor lorry IS
coming to the aid of the grower ana
the manufacturer, the merchant ana
the shopkeeper, and, not unworthy OF
consideration, the buyer and the con
sumner; and the machinery of daily me
win be still further eased, ii not
cheapened. In the end, indeed, nobody
may be penny the worse.-'London

TAKES NO STOCK
IN CALAMITY CRY

Editor Silver State:
Senator Newlands is out with let
ter addressed to the people and various
commercial bodies of the state, outin
ing movement to lessen the ex-
pense of the state of Nevada. A care
full perusal of the figures compiled by
Professor Adams, shows no gross ex-
travagance in the conduct of the af
fairs of the state, or that the legisla
lures have been extravagant in MAX
ing appropriations. There has been
natural increase in the expense of
the state, due to the healthy develop
ment it has had for the past ten
years. There may be large increase
In such items as prisons and the care
of prisoners, the state police and some
other small accounts. The statement
of expenses in Reno shows that the
city has received great benefit in the
way of improvements.
Humboldt, Elko and WasAoe coun-
ties are rich an can well afford a
much greater expenditure for i'm
provemnts. / would suggest that the
Chamber of Commerce take the mat
ter up with the other counties and in
stead of decreasing the legislative ex-
pense, the counties should be permit
ted to issue bonds the roads and
other improvements. Humboldt coun-
ty could easily afford bond issue of
several hundred thousand dollars for
the roads. A main highway could be
built within reasonable distance of the
Southern Pacific railroad and gravel
hauled tor it ON the road and nnloaded
at convenient places where gravel or
shale could not be had. From this
main road others could be made to the
settlements throughout the county.
1t is nonsense and a detriment to
the state to be putting out the cry of
poverty, at time when the great
mining and agricultural developments
require and demand greater expendi-
lures in order TO make the roads and
towns more attractive to homeseekers.

Martini CHANGES
PLEA TO GUILTY

Yesterday afternoon Pietro Martini
changed his plea of not guilty to as
sault with intent to kill to guilty. to
the lesser offense of assault with a
deadly weapon, etc. This afternoon
defendant was brought before Judge
Ducker, who sentenced him to a term
in the penitentiary of not less than
enc nor more than two years.
On the night of July II last, at I'm
lay, Martini, who was in the company
of squaws, was followed by number
of the railroad boys. When near his
own house he ran in and appeared in
the doorway with revolver, with
which he began shooting at the
crowd. One bullet struck Luigi Meni-
cucci, and the injured man was taken
to the San Francisco hospital, while
Martini was arrested and lodged in
the county Jail.
Considering this was his second of
Tense within the past few years, it is
thought that Martini escaped very
well. He was represented by Salter

INDIAN DUGOUT CANOES
BECOME MOTORBOATS

The primitive Siwash dugout canoe
is still used in great numbers by the
Indians of the northwest, especially
on and around Puget Sound, but any
Indian, good or otherwise, who can
buy or borrow small gasoline engine
bids farewell to the paddle of his
forefathers and 'fput-puts every
where. The cover design of the De-
cember Popular Mechanics Magazine
shows an Indian running one of these
odd motorboats. An article states:
''When the white man goes out in
power canoe he takes along a sail and
oars or paddles, for fear the engine
might stop. The true Indian, on the
other hand, scorns these things. He
opens the gasoline valve, sets the
spark, gives the wheel a yank and
away he goes. When he gets there he
stops the engine. The muller is nom
essential, as he loves noise, and he will
take an old engine white man can
not run and make it go successfully. -
ly told the Riverside Press that he
loves the old Missions of California.
"T have made more than 100 studies
of the old California Missions, he
said "and many of the 43 years |
have spent in California have been
devoted to studies of them. He ex-
pressed pleasure that Landlord Frank
Miller of the Glenwood Mission Inn,
at Riverside, had secured the Ford
collection of Missions for his uniquely
beautiful hostlery.
The San Diego exposition will be
housed in buildings designed after the
modern adaptation of the mission
style, and it is hoped by the manage
ment that the Ford collection and also
some, at least, of Mr.. Jorgenson S
paintings will be on display there.
