YOUNG FOLKS MARRIED.
X. II. Mulder Takes Unto Himself
A Helpmate.

We made good guess In our last
issue, when we accused Manager Karl
Mulder, of the Fallon Creamery, of con-
templating marriage. Sure enough
last Wednesday he met Miss Martha
Gotzeit, of Los Angeles, in Reno,
where the ceremony that made them
man and wife was performed. The
step had been contemplated by these
young folks for a long time and the
happy event Wednesday was the cul-
mination Of courtship that has ex-
tended over a considerable period.
Upon Mr.. and Mrs. Mulder's arrival
Wednesday afternoon immediate pre-
parations were made for housekeeping
in the residence adjoining the cream
cry, where Mr.. Mulder is actively look
ing after affairs.
This paper extends congratulations
to the newly married couple.

J. NJ. FULTON PROMOTED.
Southern Pacific Has Enlarged
Scope of His Control.

John M. Fulton left his Office last
evening the retiring district freight and
passenger agent for the Southern Pa
cifc company. He returned to the
same Office and same desk this morning
an assistant general freight and pas
senger agent for the central district
of the Southern Pacific company with
headquarters at Reno, Nevada, for
this is the manner in which his title
reads.
About the only change noticeable
was that he wore rose in his button
hole and was in a mighty optimistic
mood.
When asked what changes would be
made IN the Office Fulton said he antic.
ipated none, except that there might
possibly be additions to the force. The
matter of appointing q new district
freight and passenger agent, he said,
was not determined, SO far Is he had
been informed. Mondays Gazette.

ESTABLISHING LINES.
Southern Pacific Surveying Crew
At Work In This County.

The establishment of permanent
boundary lines on the twenty-mile limit
of railroad land and definite conclu-
sion of just what sections are leased
within these boundary lines is now
under way by two surveying parties
engaged in work in the northern part
of this county.
Following closely this work will be
that of the government geoiogists, who
will determine the character of the land
itself, as to whether it contains mineral
or not. Although this work is being
conducted under the immediate super
vision of the Government, the railroad
shares one half of the expense. The
surveying crews are working east.

COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM.
An Ali-Important Subject To Have
Early Consideration.

Eaffy consideration.
II has been suggested that one of the
moves to be made by the county gov
ernment in the near future should be the
installation of road sprinkling ser
vic on the main Travelled throughfares
out Of Fsllon. This is an innovation
that has been pretty generally adopted
over California and along the coast
during the summer season and there
is no good reason why Churchill county
should not fall into line just as soon as
finances will admit. With a reduction
of the county's fixed expenses which
are now away and beyond what they
should be, more funds will be available
for expenditure on the roads of the
county.
Much of the road system in this
county that are row in very bad condi-
tion would be made practically perfect
by daily sprinkling. In dua course of
time the base for much o. our road sys-
TEN will come from Sand Springs,
where County Commissioner E. 2. Nc
Lean states an excellent gravel deposit
exists The present county board of
commissioners has been handicapped all
along with lack of funds to prosecute
road work along approved lines, but the
near future should witness change in
the county's finances to permit of more
and better roads.

HUMBOLDT WATER TANGLE,
Is Still In Courts and Promises To
Be Hard Fought.

The case of the Pacific Reclamation
Company VS.. Judge Ducker of HUMP
boldt County was argued in the supreme
court yesterday. The case is one
in mandamus to compel the District
Judge of Humboldt county to fix bond
to stay the execution of a temporary
injunction pending an appeal from the
same.
The case was argued by Judge George
Brown and L. A. Gibbons for the petit
tioner and by Mr.. Hawkins of Cheney,
Downer, Price and Hawkins for the
respondent. This case is side issue of
what bids fair to be one of the greatest
water suits ever fought out in the state.
The main suit in which the temporary
injunction was issued was brought by
the water owners on the lower Hum
boldt river near Lovelock, to enjoin the
Pacific Reclamation Company on the
head of the humboldt from taking
water therefrom, during the irrigation
season.
The Pacific Company has spent over
hundred thousand dollars in improve
ments which will be affected by the fin
al outcome of the litigation. Last

COUNTY LOSES ITS FEE SUIT
Judge Ducker Decide That A.
Ex-Officio License Collector
Sheriff Gets Commission.

Judge E. A. Ducker, Humboldt's
district judge, presiding over the
Churchill county district court, render
ed an opinion last Wednesday in the
case of Churchill county vs. Ex-Sheriff
Lee N. Wightman, an action in which
the county was seeking to recover the
sum of 5000. .39, fees held out by the
ex-Sheriff for business and sheep IL
cense collections made while he was in
office. The total amount of business
licenses collected upon which Mr..
Wightman claimed a six per cent. COM
mission was $13, 040.45 and sheep Ii
censes to the amount of $500 were also
collected, the statutes providing Q 20
per cent. commission on the latter form
of collections.
Judge Ducker's opinion favored the
ex-sheriff and was quite lengthy. He
held that under the present laws OPP
erative, the sheriff receives $1,000 N.
nually as sheriff and that he 10 also
empowered to appoint = deputy 1t
salary of $72o per annum. That thsss
sums are payment only for the duties
of sheriff and do not apply to payment
for license collections.
Decisions have already been render
ed by the states supreme court In sims
liar instances where other counties
were concerned and In every instance
the supreme court has held against the
counties suing and in favor of the sher-
if holding out the commissions.

THE ROOSEVELT TICKET.
Will Have Electors In Nevada Who
Will Carry Colors.

I. RS party designated as the Pro-
gressive Republican party is being
launched in Nevada and it is the inten-
tion of men who are organizing in this
state to send delegates to the National
Progressive Republican party conven-
tion to be held on August 9th, at which
I. R. will be it and will be named as
the new party's candidate for presi.
dent.
Petitions containing the declaration
of principles as announced in the call
are being circulated in all the counties
in the state. 1t is the intention of the
organizers to secure the names of citi-
zens all over the state who are willing
to pledge themselves to the support of
Roosevelt and to thus endorse the men
who will be sent to the Roosevelt con-
ventions as the legal delegates from
this state. There will be three men
sent from this state.
The petition now being circulated
calls upon the national committee of
the Progressive party to recognize as
delegates and alternates to the conven-
tion the following citizens: Delegates
H. A. Cumins, George Springmeyer
and Sardis Summerfeld; alternates-
L. A. Haworth, A. R. Merritt and R.
M. Price.
The petition sets forth that the elec-
tors who have signed the petition have
not had time to call special election to
elect delegates and alternates to the
convention to be held IN Chicago Aug
ust 5, and that they want the men
above named to be recognized.

BIG BASEBALL GAME.
Thompson's Crack Nine Will
Be Here Sunday.

Victory will perch upon some base
bal! banner next Sunday afternoon,
when the locals will meet the team from
Thompson to determine finally the su.
premacy between the two teams. The
visiting team Is accredited by some ex.
perts on the game as the fastest nine
in the state, though Falon met and de.
feated the Thompsonites on neutral
grounds at Mason on July 5th, when
they triumphed by score of 5 to 2.
The game will be called at 1.aO p. m.
and that bit will be the best played
game of the 1912 season goes without
saying. There is really iio reason why
every loyal fan who has an ounce of
red blood in his veins should not attend
on this occasion, for there will be ex-
citement aplenty for the most virile
cuss in the community.

gentleman down in Texas writes 10
me and saws, Mr. Gotch, l want TO ASK
YOU if YOU do any training on sunday.
This man may be a minister of the Cos
pei. He failed to state. But shaii
answer him. and give my reasons:
First of ALL / do not do any SUNDAY
training, even when l am working u se.
in shape for hard match. TINS Is not
merely because it might create PUBIC
comment. but because l need that day or
rest. l have found that any man who
exercises his body and mind six days In
the week ought to have one day of free
dom. And Sunday is the most acceptable,
because it is generally regarded as a
day of rest. 1t fits in better with the
general scheme.
But we now come to the question of
the fellow who is cramped up all week;
the individual who gets little fresh air
and probably no let up to his grind. How
about him?
Sunday should find him out of doors as
much as possible, even if the weather
isn't delightful. He can walk. He can
saunter through the parks. along the
streets or across the fields. The latter
would be my choice IL had anything to
say about it.
There is no task on earth that can be
done SO well as the one that is punctu-
ated with rest. First OF all, the fellow
who unremittingly grinds away becomes
a crank on the subject. Once a person
sinks into monomania he loses judgment,
and the judgment is just as necessary in
the cornfield as 1t is at the desk.
Second, the man who shuts himself out
from all pleasure and recreation becomes

THE NOISE OF MACHINES.
Sentiment Crystallizing Against
Needless Disturbance.
frnm the Literary Digest

From the Literary Disest.
Apparently we are more sensitive to
noise than were our ancestors. We live,
too. in a noisier world. Our forbears
had the noises Of battle, the clang OF
smear on SHE'D, the shouts of the chase,
and all that; but they had no steam
whistles, no boiler factories, and no auto
mobile horns thousand and one of the
fendish sounds that torture our too
sensitive modern ears were absent from
their lives. 1t Is modern industry. with
Its accompanying features of commerce
and Transportation, that has made our
century an age of loud and excruciating
sounds. Many of these. we are just be-
ginning to find out, are unnecessary ana
can be abated, like any other nuisances.
Saws a writer in the American Ma
chinist:
1.-The greater part of the noise in this
world is due to industry. Machines are
great noise-makers. Yet this attribute
of a machine is one that the designer
and engineer seldom consider. With the
exception of the steam-engine and auto
mobile industries. there iS no line OF
machinery building or operation where
any one seems to care whether he Is
directly or indirectly responsible for
noise-making or not.
But 1t is possible that we may be In

The Gate of the City.
From Scribner's.

The railway terminal Is the gateway of
the modern city. No walls now make the
people enter and depart through certain
portals. But the compulsion of modern
conditions Of living and transportation Is
as effective as was that Of ancient walls.
Constantly there come and go through
some gateway terminals armies of peace
exceeding in a day most of the great
armies of war, equaling in a week the
inhabitants of great metropolises, rival
ing in a year the population of great ma
tions No other structures serve the con-
venience of such numbers. Rising to the
needs of these multitudes, the engineers
and architects of American railways are
dotting the country with terminals sur
passing in size, in cost. in the comforts
they afford. in monumental beauty, any
others in the world.
Viewed casually, these great gateways
may seem to mean no more than other
large structures. Considered with pene-
trating and rejecting eye, they are seen
to be the resultants, the steel and stone
prsonifications, Of some OF the most char
acteristic and important tendencies and
bespeak the increasing of engineering
skill They express the progress OF archf-
tectural taste. Their size and capacity re-
fleet the wonderful growth OF great cities
and Of travel The elegance or their
manifold conveniences mirrors the same
luxury and even extravagance, which
caused an advance of 100 per cent in
eight years in the American demand for
automobiles. They declare the rise of
civic spirit. They tell of the increase of
the influence of the opinion of the public
over the great quasi-public corporations
that serve the public; for 1t is as much
in response to the demands of public SEN
timent as of business that splendid struc-
lures such as those of the Pennsylvania
railroad and the New York Central in

Northwestern In Chicago, and the Union
