MEYERS BONDSMEN PAID UP

county treasury the first of the week,
despite the fact that Meyers, for whom
they were sorry, was opprehended at
the home of his parents in Eureka,
Utah, few days previous.
After taking French leave Meyers
disappeared from sight completely, but
the work set afoot by the sheriff's of

John P. Burnham left yesterday for
Meyers, who will return to Fallon fac

his trial will follow. The fact that he
was not IN court at the time for his ar

it madatory, according to the district
attorney, for his boadmen to pay the
amount Of the bond.

THE STANDARD BUYS LINOTYPE
Recently Adds Wonderful Piece
of Machinery to Its Equip
ment.

With the last issue the Churchill
County Standard rounded out nine
wears of newspaper existence, this Is
enc being the first of its tenth year.
The paper, though the oldest in the
county, might be considered some
thing of a Juvenile by many, though
its growth from the inception
has been steady and substantial.
With the exception of little more
than one year the Standard has been
owned by its present publisher, who
has conducted it throughout this per-
iod with the exception of ten months.
Il has been our pleasure To use the
paper as a decided upbuilding factor
in the community contributing to its
snpport. Like all other factors, de-
pendent upon the human element for
guidance, the paper has undoubted-
" made its mistakes, but TO it's credit
II can be truthfully said that it has
with few exceptions been allied with
what is right and best for the COM
mnnity.
Like all papers that speak out
frankly upon matters needing corec-
tlon the Standard has made enemies
of whom we are none the less proud
than we are of the large number of
loyal friends into whose homes the
paper goes in ever increasing num-
nera

The electrical system as construc-
ted consists of some 235 poles set
and in place in the city and yicin-
ity on which are strung 123, 100 feet
of triple braid insulated copper wire.
Also the various appliances neces-
sary to make a complete distribu-
ting system. The lines are protec-
ted by nine lightning arresters and
are divided into three sections by
pole type oil switches fer the pur-
pose of facilitating repairs. At
the present time 15 transformers OF
various sizes are installed. These
are of ample capacity to supply the
citys- lighting load, but will be ad-
ded to from time to time in the fu-
ture as requirements may demand.
The distributing system has been
laid out with the idea in view of
serving the greatest number of Gus
toners, and at the same time pro-
viding as adequate a street lighting
system as possible.
The street lighing will be by the
use of tungsten lamps placed in pole
fixtures carrying from one to five
lamps each at some 35 street corn
ers within the city limits, except ON
Maine street where the same type OF
fixtures will suspended over the CEN
ter of the street. Tungsten street
lights were adopted on account of
the possibility of distributing them
over a large part of the city and their
comparatively cheap cost of opera
ton. Had arc lamps been used the
cost of operating six of them would
have been as large as the total cost
of operating the entire 35 tungstens
and the resulting light obtained,
while greater at the lamp would have
been confined to some five or six
street corners.
Street lighting like fire protection
is of benefit to everyone, consequent
lly a street lighting tax should be
made in the next tax levy for this
purpose, doing away with the special
interest tax levy for the electrical
bonds. If this is done the electri-
cal system will also be on a business
basis and will need no other support
: The estimated income of the cleo
trieal system at the end of a veal
should be at least $1,000 per month
possibly more, and the total cost o.
operation at the same time will b'
$40 per month. This includes in
terest and depreciation charges.
therefore follows that $3.50 will b'
available each month for the purpos'
of extending lines and securing new
business. or if this is not desired, tn
selling price of electricity may be re
dueed. When the city's business to
tails $1,000 per month the govern
ment's charge for electricity vii
: amount to $3.50, which is included Il
the $3.50 operating cost. The sup
port which the electrical system Wi
i. receive by the sale of electricit
70 the city for street lighting and 10
pumping will be considerable an
will be of great help to 1t.

They formerly planned to have the per-

owing to the small seating capacity
and having the comfort of the audience
at heart they were able to induce Mr..
Clark to cancel his previous engage

The performances will be for two nights
only and the prices will be the same,
adults to any seat in the house 35 cents
and children 15 cents. All the latest
song hits of the season will be heard
and the people should not miss it as
they will certainly get their moneys

Many local taxpayers have dis
played keen and patriotic inter-
est in our municipal achievements
of which we are all proud. For
these the mayor and city clerk have
prepared the following comprehen-
sive statements which indicate that
our modern improvements have
come to us only as the result of the
public spirit of our citizens and self
sacrifice of the most commendable
sort on the part of those VIII repre-
sent u.s.
To the public:
The electric lights were turned on
in Fallon at noon last Saturday for
the first time. This completes
the vast work Of our city officials
and l think this fitting time to
mention something of the vast a
mount of work done There are
but few people who ever stop to cor
slider what it means to accomplish
the construction of water works.
sewer and electric systems in 50
short time.
It was not until September 18th,
1908, that Fallon was incorporated.
The first council accomplished con-
siderable towards the starting of
public improvements, but having
only five months could do but little
but sanction and start the prelimin-
aries. The second council contin-
ued the good work that had been
started and got far enough to get
the ordinances passed authorizing
the sale of $4,000 in bonds for a
water system and $4,000 for sew
erage system.
This was a good start in the right
direction and the work was taken
up at once by the present council.
Ii was under the present council
and other city officials that most of
the work has been completed and at
a great expenditure of time on their
part only was it possible to COM
plete as much as they have in so
short a time.
In June. 1911, Mayor George d.
E. Sherman, councilmen John Oats,
j. c. Jones and W. S. Pyle and City
Clerk w. II. Reavis and City Attorn-
ey E. E. Winters took the city gov
ernment into their hands. w. S.
Pyle served only a few months
when he left here and resigned, be-
ing succeeded by Joe Jarvis who
was appointed in his place and is
now serving as councilman. The ap-
pointment of City Attorney &. E.
Winters did not occur until July,
1911. Ii fell to the above named
officers TO accomplish the tasks set
before them and wish to briefly re-
view what they have done in the way
of public improvement.
The mayor and city council serve
without pay and during the time OF
work Of which | speak the city clerk
received only $50 per month and
the city attorney s25 per month
There we're no salaries that justified
any unusual outlay of work and 1t
had TO be done purely through the
public spirit of the officers.
The first work was to find a mar
ket for the ss5,OO0 worth of water
bonds and $4,000 in sewer bonds
These bonds were sold and after
the money for the sewer had been
expended the people demanded more
sewer and $4,000 more bohds
were sold and put into the sewerage
system as 1t stands today. An elec'
tric bond issue of $4,000 was also
nut through. All of this money
has been economically expended
with the result that We now have

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
If Propo,ed Amendment Passes
District Attorney may Proceed
With Criminal Trials.

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen
the proposed constitutional amendments
to be voted upon by the electors OF Me-
vada. One particularly meritorious
proposed change is one having to do
with the grand jury system, which
would not be abolished should the
amendment pass, but the Importance
of this inquisitorial body would be les
sened by empowering the district at
torney of any county in the state, or
the Encouragement of the state to
proceed in criminal matters and go to
trial without the formaIity of an in
dictment at the hands of a grand jury.
Nevada Is the only state in the Union,
where it is necessary that grand jury
indictment shall precede persecution
and there have been many notable mis-
c anispss Of justice as result of the
system.
Let US have the proposed change and
have il as speedily as our form of law
enactment will allow.

TO LEWIS RESCUE.

New York, August 1S.-The question
whether negro attorneys shall be ad :
mitted to the American Bar associa-
tion will be submitted for decision to
the annual meeting of the organlza-
ton next week at Milwaukee. The ex-
ecutive committee of the association
tonight made public special report
regarding the election to membership
of three negroes, which was afterwa I'd

ed at the annual meeting as a basis
for action.
The question first became prominent
last January when the executive COM
mittee reconsidered its action in elect
Ing to membership William II. Lewis,
United states assistant attorney gen.
eral, on the ground that such action
had been taken "in ignorance of ma
terial facts" The facts were that Lewis
was a negro. Later 1t was discovered
that Butler r. Wilson and William r.
Morris of Minnesota had been elected
members under the same misappre-
hension, the report says, and theii
cases were handled as was that OF
Lewis.
The committee in its report declines
to recede from the stand thus taken
but explains that the status of these
three men as candidates for member
ship remains unimpaired and submits
the whole question to the association.
Attorney General Wickersham came
to the aid of Lewis when membership
first was denied him and made a per-
sonal appeal to the 400 members OF the
organization. The Attorney General
declared that Lewis was legally elect
ed and that the committee had no right
to rescind its original action.

Progressiyes
WEEKS TRIP IN SOUTH

oyster Bay August 1S.-Delighted
with his reception in Rhode Island and
Massachusetts,, Colonel Roosevelt re-
at home until Wednesday, when he
leaves for Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Governor Wilson's speech at Seagirt
yesterday, Colonel Roosevelt said, in
terested him, largely on account of
what the governor had to say about
the progressive party. The colonel
chuckled at the governors statement
that 1t was discomfort with the old
parties which had led to the formation
of the progressive party, as well as
the feeling that men have gone into
blind alleys and come out often
enough"
why, someone told me that I
couldn't have defined the progressive
movement as well as that myself" ex-
claimed the colonel. He thought he
saw in Governor Wilson's speech the
result of the stand which the progress
sives had taken. The colonel added that
he wished to speak in only a kindly
way of Governor Wilson.
He made 1t plain, however, that he
was prepared for fight with no quar-
ter. should the campaign shape Itself
into hard hitting contest
Colonel Roosevelt said he believed
that the three-cornered fight was de.
veloping into a two-sided contest.
The announcement of plans for his
western campaign tour, Colonel Roose-
Welt said, had resulted in requests fol
speeches from hundreds of sources. He
wished to make it clear, he said that
he was unable to accept these invita-
lions in the comparatively short period
allowed for a trip of that length.
"All l can do" he said, lis to show
my intentions and good will by Wis
iting the various states and speaking
once or so in each one"
on reaching Memphis, he said, he
probably would take weeks trip in
the south, speaking in Mississippi
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, North
Carolina and perhaps few other
states
