sits of carbon photographs and en-
cravings, loaned by A. w. Elson Co.,
of Boston, Mass. This collection is a
large one and contains only the very
best reproductions of the masterpieces
of art of different countries and
periods. Nearly every gallery and
country in the world would have to be
visited to see the original pictures
which are here brought together in one
collection.
The collection comprises two hun
dred subjects, representing all the
principal schools Of art and including
many reproductions of sculpture, ar
chitecture and important views from
nature. Few collections have ever
been brought together which so COM

new LIGHTS PROM
|SED IN TEN DAYS

The finishing touches are being put
on the new plant of the Winnemucca
Water & Light company, and it is ex-
pected that it will be started up within
the next ten days. All that is now
lacking is part of the fittings for the
condenser and they are expected to
arrive the first part of the week, and
it will require one day to adjust them
The new plant is perhaps the finest
on the coast, according to size, and
contains nothing but the latest electri-
cal apparatus. Beginning with about
the first of March a day current will
be supplied by water power from the
old plant and continued until July. If
the business warrants it will be made
permanent.

FAVOR CoNvICTS' EARNINGS
GOING TO THEIR FAMILIES

SPOKANE, WASH, Jan. 25.-John
II Wallace, a member of the state in
dustrial insurance commission of
Washington, announced at the annual
convention of the State Federation of
Labor in Spokane that a concerted eff
fort will be made at the next session
of the legislature to pass law, de
signed to protect the families of mes
sentenced to the penitentiarv. The ide
is to change the present system, under
which the felon works for the state
to atone his wrong-doings, so that his
earnings will go to the wife and child
rem, left at home and frequently des-
titute and in want.
The delegates expressed their ap-
proval of the plan, and while no formal
action was taken by the organization
as BODY, it is likely that campaign
viii be launched in short time to
crystallize the idea into measure,
which will be submitted to the state
legislature at its biennial session
early next January.

Root, of New York, is chairman, to
pass resolution authorizing the presi-
dent to invite the nations of Latin
America to exhibit at the big and
unique fair to be held in honor of the
opening of the Panama canal. At the
same time there is a delegation here
from San Francisco asking for legis-
tion in behalf of the exposition to be
held there.
As many persons ask the question, it
may be well to say that there is no
connection whatever between the two
expositions except that they are to be
held in the same year to celebrate the
same event. The San Diego exposition
will not try to cover the scope of a
commercial fair as will be done at San
Francisco, but it will specialize, this
being the age of specialization, and
will give the public something differ
ent from anything ever before seen at
an exposition. Considerable informa-
tion regarding the plans and scope OF
the San Diego exposition has already
been published and from time to time
further details will be made public. lt
NAV be said here, in brief. that the exs
position has $2,500,000 already raised
TO go ahead with, that the buildings
are under construction, that millions
of plants, palms and Towering shruh 81
are being propagated to beautify the'
grounds, and that there is much en-
thusasm and unity of purpose among
those who are responsi| lie for carrying
out the plans adopted.
