The office will also consider the mat

after the children and see that they
are kept in order to attend school
regularly, and complete all arrange
ments before the opening of school in
the fall.
The matter of purchasing q tract

Respectfully,
F. H. ABBOTT,

their confidence in me by investing in
my enterprises, and what I consider to
be my present highest duty to the
state, could deter me from taking ad-
vantage of an opportunity rarely Offer
ed for the qualification of one of the
highest political and personal ambi-
tions.
1t will be discerned from what has
been said that appreciate my present
equipment to be rather in the direc-
ton of business activity than to assist
in the nations government. There
are men in Nevada, however, who, by
training and experience can serve the
state with great distinction in the sen
ate, and, without deprivation to the
state add to their own usefulness and
afford Nevada an added strength in
the national councils. Were / to ac-
cept the office whatever might be the
character of my senatorial service, the
state would inevitably lose something
which | can give only by remaining
for a time in private life.
Grateful for Consideration.
| cannot close this letter without
assuring you of my gratitude to you
for the great personal consideration
which you have shown in bestowing
upon me the highest office within the
gift of the state. 1t constitutes an
appeal of great strength to ones per-
sonal pride and ambition, and it is a
source of extreme qualification to me
that YOU should have believed me to
he worthy to represent Nevada in the
senate. Since your tender OF the ap-
pciatment. also, many people OF both

MASS CONVENTION is NOW
SAID TO BE PLAN.

The long conference held by In-
spector Gorden from Topeka with @.
s. Crawford and others yesterday did
not result in any definite action. IL
was found that no demand existed
for a primary and 1t is now stated
that mass convention for the coun-
ty will be called to select Republican
delegates. Chairman Peterson says
he was informed that several commit
teemen wanted another committee
meeting but when he phoned them
they said they wanted no such thing
and were satisfied to let the matter
stand where It is. Mr.. Crawford Will
probably be prominent in the mass
convention. He was chairman OF the
resolutions committee in the Demo-
cratic mass convention three weeks
ago and knows how to run 1t. In
spector Gorden returned to Kansas
City this morning but will probably
come back to assist in the affair.
Petitions are being circulated this
afternoon for mass convention.

tered. A window was up and they
crawled in. A gold watch was ~

took the money but II was left. They
evidently were watching as Mr.. and

WORKMEN MUST BE PAID.
Supreme Court Hands Down an I'm
pOrtant Decision.

The supreme court holds that the
work of a laborer must be paid for
and that If the contractor who en-
pIoys him does not pay him he can
make a lien lie against the property
OF the person or persons for whom
the work was done This decision was
handed down by the supreme court
Saturday in case from Allen county.
Robert Rankin secured contract
for plastering the buildings Of the
Monarch Cement company and em-
ployed his SON to assist him. The
company paid Robert Rankin. the
contractor, for his services, but ac-
cordlng to the papers in the case,
Rankin did not pay his son, Hanni-
bal Rankin. The son brought an
action against his father and against
the Monarch Cement company. In
the lower court he won his case and
the supreme court Saturday affirmed
the decision of that court. The
court holds that even though the
cement company paid the contractor
presumably for the services of his
son, it is liable for the payment OF
the sons wages.

collect back taxes, but he is going
to arrest every person who owns a
dog and has not paid his CANNES

DON'T DRAG DRY ROADS.
Rest Results Secured When Highways
Are Still Damp.

Now that spring is here and the
snow is gone, the roads will soon be
in bad condition. 1t will mean loss
of money to the farmers, and the way
to remedy this is to drag them before
they dry.
In the text book written by W. 5.
Gearhart, state highway engineer, ne
gives some important instruction for
road dragging. They are: Drive the
team at a walk, ride on the drag, be-
gin on one side of the road, returning
ON the opposite side; drag the Toads
as soon as possible after each rain
but not when the mud is in such a
condition as to stick to the drag; DO
not drag dry road; drag at all sea-
sons of the year. Always drag q lit
tie earth to the center Of the road
until it is raised from ten to twelve
inches above the edge of the Travelled
way.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated applica'
ton. 1t is estimated that road can
be kept dragged and in good condi-
tion for from s6 to $40 year.
