MR.. ADAMS IS OUT FOR TAFT.

We have not seen in any other form
quite so candid aud philosophical a
plea for the reelection Of President
Taft as is contained in a letter writ
ten by Charles Francis Adams, of Bos.
ton, to Isaac Markens, of New York.
Mr.. Adams favors the re election of
President Taft, because the country
appears to be passing through quiet
revolution, and it is Of the highest I'M
portance that a calm, judicial mind,
man of even temperament, should be
at the helm during the transition
period. The pith of Mr.. Adams 8 let.
ter Is contained in the following ex,
tract, which we commend to all "Trib.
une' readers as good for their pc
rusal:
To me it is now obvious that, for rea-
sons which are generally quite under

TILE DAWN OF A new ERA
Colonel f. R. Place, Railroad Promoter, Talks Of the GtvS
Future, Of Line to the North and the Commercial
Club which is Just Being Organized

Col. E. r. Place, of Caldwell, Idaho,
railroad promoter and empire builder,
has been in Winnemucca for the past
ten days, looking over conditions with
a view to constructing the long talked
of line from here to Caldwell. When
seen at the Hotele Lafayette last even
ing and asked what encouragement he
had received for his project, Col
Place replied:
'Since coming here ten days ago
have interviewed all classes of your
business men--merchants, bankers
lawyers, mining and real estate men,
and all are looking forward to a new
era, in which Winnemucca, Humboldt
county, and in fact all Nevada, are to
take on a new life. New enterprises,
long desired, will become actual reali-
ties, all vacant lands in this vicinity
will be settled upon and the etown
should double or treble in population
within the next decade.

among your business men, and taking

ODD|F'S STATEMENT
ABOUT WARDEN

Governor oddie yesterday made the
following statement to the Gazette
relative to the published reports that
his opposition to Warden Baker was
based on the fact that Bakers sister
in-law and the governor were no longer
engaged, and upon jealousy because of
the publicity given Baker during his
administration:
There is not a particle of truth in
the article that appeared in San Fran
cisco papers this morning. / deeply
deplore the fact that Mrs Baker s
name has been dragged into this af-
fair. / have the highest regard for
her. We simply agreed to disagree and
/ do not see why that incident should
be made a theme for publicity. As
far as being jealous of Baker is con
cerned there is no truth in that 1t is
true that / believed the interests of
the state would be better served at
this time if he would resign and have
requested his resignation. / have not
yet discussed the matter with Secre-
tary of State Brodigan. The whole
affair is very unfortunate. | will
probably have more to say about it
in the near FUTURE
The article that appeared in the
San Francisco papers stated that
Governor Oddie bad requested Warden
Bakers resignation, and that rumor
assigned as the reasons for that re-
quest the termination of the engage
ment that had existed between Gov
ernor Oddie and Mrs. Dale Hartley
Baker, sister-in-law of the warden, and
alleged jealousy on the part of the
governor because Baker had been more
in the limelight than has he in con
neetion with the prison reform work
in this state.
1t has been known for some time
that 0ddie had asked for Bakers res.
ignation, but it had been hoped that
an amicable understanding could he
arrived al. The prison board, which
has the appointing power, is comDosed

ment League all must be interested
all business men and citizens must
pull together. No organization can Sc
cure results when its members are
fighting among themselves. Abraham
Lhncoin's favorite saying was "A
house divided against itself cannot
stand. This biblical quotation was
true when written thousands of wears
ago, was true in Lincoln's time. is
true today and will remain true so

1.-The Caldwell Commercial club and
Development League was organized
shortly after / went there in 1906. and
during the short space of six years il
has accomplished much for the town
and county. At the time it was or
ganized the town was about the size
of Winnemuueca, claiming some 1000
population, which has been increased
to 5,l00. And all kinds of business
has kept pace with the increase in
population. New banks have been
established, fine business blocks and
residences erected, as well as county
and municipal buildings; streets have
been graded and paved, new churches
and schools established, and from
country village the town has rapidly
changed to a modern city of CONNER
cial Importance.
"All these improvements and advan-
tages may be secured for Winnemucea
with perhaps less effort than was re-
quired in the case of Caldwell, for
your situation is better than was that
of the Idaho town six years ago. While
your population is practically the same
as that of Caldwell six years ago, as
well as soil and climate, you are situ-
ated on the line Of two transcontinent-
al railways, which fact in itself should
prove a powerful factor in your rapid
development. Then, again, Winnemuc-

SUGAR STATE MEN
SEVERELY SHOCKED
Especial to the Silver state)


WASHINGTON, March 12.-It was
a terrible shock to the Louisiana dele
cation in congress when the house
caucus decided to put sugar on the free
list.
What consolation was it to the men
from the sugar state to know that the
revenue would not suffer. because II
was intended to make up for the loss
OF revenue on sugar by levying an
income tax?
OF course. the Louisiana men are all
believers in tariff tax for revenue
only; not for protection. But then the
tax on sugar has brought in revenue,
and it has certainly helped Louisiana.
Then why not keep it on2
Other statesmen are less hesitant
about tariff on sugar For instance,
Senator Perkins, of California, saws
that to remove the tariff will result
in running the beet sugar industry in
Napoleon was proud Of having in
augurated the beet sugar industry in
France Emperor William is proud
Of the position Germany holds in this
industry. The Republican party is
proud that it has helped to establish
the industry in the United States
Probably no one wishes to see it
abolished or crippled
There are other big industries which
the tariff has helped to build up, by
damming the tide of foreign imports
while the infant enterprises were get
ting foothold. One Of these is the
cultivation of citrus fruits. If il were
not for the freights on about 10000
carloads of oranges and lemons rom

United States, some roads would have
to cut wages or dividends.
Some congressman wanted TO put
lemons on the free list. They said
they had Italian voters in their dis
triets who demanded it. Bnt il they
had hailed from Florida, they would
have talked differently.
Possibly the success achieved by
Hon. Theron Akin. progressive Re
publican from New York, in making
a campaign with only the arguments he
could adduce from a dinner pail and
lemon, stimulated other congressman
to think they could do the same. Some

s. P. WILL SOON
BEGIN EXTENSIONS

The first of big program of exten-
sions will be begun at once by the
Southern Pacific company by the con
struction of the Fernley Northern rail
road, from Fernley, a station 35 miles
east of Reno, to Susanville Califor
MIA, distance of 124 miles. President
Sproule of the Southern Pacific has or
dered the work, and bids are invited
The estimated cost is $5,000,000.
The Fernley branch is part Of the
extensive system that has been plan
ned for northeastern California A to-
tai of TAG miles Of new road is pro-
jected, at total estimated cost of
$30,000,000 These branches are the
California Northeastern, from Weed,
On the Shasta Route, to Klamath Falls,
which has already been constructed;
the Oregon Eastern, building from
klamath Falls to Natron, on the Shas-
ia Route in Oregon; the Modoc Nor
thern, the Goose Lake q Southern, and
the Chico &Northern. The Klamath
Falls roads will furnish new route to
Portland, cutting out the heavy grade
over the mountains, above Shasta.
Coincident with the ordering of the
above branch to be built comes re-
vival of the rumor that the division
will be moved back to Winnemucca
from Inlay. 1t was taken to Inlay
for the single reason that the distance
between Sparks and Winnemucca-170
miles-was considered too great. 1t
will be noticed that the distance from
Reno to Fernley is given as 35 miles,
which is the distance from Inlay to
Winnemucca. In the event the divis
ions are moved from Sparks to Fernley
and from Imlav to Winnemucca, the
distances would be the same as at
