official Paper Of City ana County
Wilson and the New Spirit

Woodrow Wilson typities the new
spirit Of the times in things political.
He il the embodiment OF the new
thought in the nation.
This clear headed and profound schol'
ar brought to the Iowa people a mes
sage of hope and good cheer. He came
carrying the standard Of progressive
army Of thoughtful Americans fully
determined that whatever else may
happen it shall be brought about that
this shall be again government by
and for the people.
In his coliseum address the governor
properly assumed that there are ten
denotes in American life that are
wrong, that evils have grown up, that
we haye gotten away from the moor
ings of free government. No need
to discuss these things. But what is
the remedy?
He analysed the problem with the
dispassionate logic of the great unlver-
sity teacher before his class. He was
especially happy in his Characterization
of the problem as one relating to
privileged business rather than
big business" for it is not size 80
much az it is the enjoyment OF special
privilege that makes some business de-
structive of all that is good in COM
mercial and political life. He was
right, too, in leading back to the orlgi-
nal source and refuge of all special
privllege-the protective tariff.
Without attempting to 60 into de-
tails he pointed out that the remedy
that we all are seeking must be secur-
ed, if at all. through agencies that are
free to act. No axiom of the school
books could be palmer.
Woodrow Wilson brought to Iowa
people message they heard with
eagerness, because they want just such
a message. He spoke from the stand
point Of the lifelong and earnest stu
dent of world politics, as one who has
approached the subject with ripened
intellect and we'll trained mind. and
following the eternal principles OF
truth, has reached conclusion that
cannot be assaiIed. Without any
oratorical fourishes he held his audi
ence entranced. He said nothing but
that which he knew to be true. He
made no use of merely fine sounding
phrases. 1t was cold logic, yet told in
simple and direct language.
Here. then, is the new man i'll poll
tics, a man come as a new prophet
among us to preach the new gospel.
We have come upon a new time, when
things are different, when the prob
lens are not what they once were,
when the people are eager for some
discussion of present day politics in
the light of present day conditions.
That is why Woodrow Wilson'S mess
age to Iowa people was 50 refreshing.
30 inspiring, so helpful
What ever else they may do. the
Iowa people, without regard to the
particular particular party tag they
are just now wearing, with small con-
sideration for the grandfather preju-
dices, owe to Woodrow Wilson a vote
of thanks for having taken us far to
the front of the battle line and shown
us that which lies just beyond. : Des

WESTERN PACIFIC
TO IMPROVE ROAD

Western Pacific general officials
have decided to spend large amount
of money during the coming summer in
bettering their roadbed and adding to
the equipment. For the purpose Of
estimating the expense and gathering
data as to the needs of this division,
Supt. r. NJ Ogilvie is in town today
in conference with local officials.
Since the line was completed suffi-
cient time has elapsed for the road
bed to settle and the improvements to
be made the coming summer will be
of a permanent character.
Among the improvements contem-
plated at this division will be large
addition to the freight she'd
Panama Pacific Express.
It is probable that the Western Pa
cifc is beginning the work at this
time in order to have their line in
frst-class shape for handling the i'm
mense traffic that will result from the
great expositions to be held in 1915 at
San Francisco and San Diego, to cele-
brate the opening Of the Panama
canal The name of the train hereto
fore known as the Limited being
Nos. l and 2, has been changed to the
Panama Pacific Express, and it
will be made one of the fastest and
finest equipped trains. of the world.

SOME LITTLE RAILROADS
IN THE UNITED STATES

In the United States there are ap-
proximately 1850 railroads. OF this
number $50 are less than eight miles
in length, about forty have rights of
way that measure up nine miles, while
there are a score that claim ten miles
of steel, says the Railroad Man Is
Magazine.
There are eight of these diminutive
roads that are one mile from terminus
to terminus, nineteen are two miles,
twenty-five whose locomotives steam
three miles from start to finish, sixteen
that run from four miles before they
come to a stop, forty that cover five
miles, eighteen that go it for six
miles, twenty-five that are the lucky
length of seven miles and twenty nine
that are the giants of the class. with
eight miles to their credit
Every part of the country furnishes
specimens of these dwarf roads. They
are found in mining districts, where
their services are often Invaluable;
they make things convenient for Wis.
itors to scenic sections they are the
handy helpers around industrial plants
and terminal centers; they climb noun
tains that would be impossible other
wise to the average citizen.
The Otis railroad is away up in the
Catskill mountains in New York and
is used to carry summer visitors to
Otis Summit. When vacation time is
on this six mile road and it's transpor-
tation facilities are pretty well strain
ed 1t connects with the Catskill
Mountain and the Cairo railroads. 1t
has one stationary engine, two passen-
nj h ct
the net earnings of the little road were
$7,061.
One mile is the length of the Indiana
Myler with South Bend, Ind. 1t has
been in operation since 1891 and is a
vest pocket corporation of flourish
ing sort, having no funded or other
debts. Small as it is, it is of consid-
erable Importance as belt line, for it
is the connecting link between the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern,
the Grand Trunk Western, the Van
dalia, the Michigan Central and the
Central Indiana and Southern rail
roads. All the stock is held by a
manufacturing corporation of South
Bend. Last year it paid $4,000 in
dividends, it's net earnings being ST.
900.
Perhaps the most remunerative of
all the miniature corporations is the
Manitou and Pixies Peak railroad. 1t
is trifle less than nine miles long
and was opened in 1891. It's equipment
includes six engines, six passenger
ears and six freight ears. In 1910 it
carried 55,267 passengers. It's net
earnings for that year were $46,632
and its surplus in June, 1910, was
$269,259. 1t is said these figures were
increased in 1911.

DEMOCRATS AGREE
ON PARCELS POST

Democratic members of the house
committee on postoffices and postroads
have agreed to incorporate in the post
Office appropriation bill provisions for
general parcels post.
They also have agreed upon gener-
al domestic rate of twelve cents and a
maximum package of eleven pounds.
This is the present international par
cells post rate. They would also pro-
vide for a rural parcels post, the rate
to be cents for one pound and cents
for each additional pound.
The provisions will be incorporated
in the bill to be reported to the house
next week. The decision was reached
after long consideration, some Demo
cratic members advocating system of
parcels post zones in which would pre-
vail different rates.
1t was reported that some Republi-
can members of the committee would
approve the recommendations and that
the bill would pass the house. Mem
bers of the committee, however, ex-
pect to encounter some objection, ON
the ground that new legislation is pro-
posed in an appropriation bill. They
are discussing how to get around these
objections under the rules.
Secretary MacVeagh has sent to
congress an estimate of the postmaster
general of 100000 for operating the
postal saving banks during the next
fiscal year, in addition to the unex-
pended 100000 appropriated last year.

COMMENT ON
GAMBLING CASE

There has naturally been more or
less criticism of the district attorney
for moving to dismiss the gambling
case in this city yesterday, and the
occurrence has created wide comment,
not only in Virginia City, but else
followed the proceedings closely from
day to day, the conclusion is inevita-
BILE that the prosecution took the only
logical step TO end what was rapidly
degenerating into farce. The court,
in granting the motion to dismiss did
so solely on the grounds of the evident
impossibility of securing a jury, and
the statement of the district attorney
that conviction was improbable even
with complete jury box. The alleged
impoverished condition of the county
treasury had absolutely no influence
upon the action taken by Judge Ian
gan, as those who will take the trouble
to peruse his decision may see.
The same difficulty has been ex-
perienced in Storey county as else
where in the state, in prosecutions un-
der the gambling act, which was franz
Cu W uO away WIFI OPcu kduDluR ID
existed in the state for years. A con-
viction under the act brands the
guilty party as a felon, there is no
other alternative, and it is this phase
of the law that is practically making
it's effect null and void. in Elko,
jury was secured and the evidence was
overwhelming, but the jury refused to
send a fellow citizen to the peniten-
tiary for playing poker. At Ely, men
found playing friendly game of pok-
er were arrested, tried and released.
1t is generally believed that an amend
ment to the act providing for fine,
or imprisonment, would have the ef-
feet of making the law operative in
cases similar to the ones in this coun-
ty, Elko and Ely. The law - it
stands acts more particularly against
the professional gamblers. and has
succeeded in driving them out.
We do not believe that the dismissal
of the case here was in any sense Of
the word miscarriage of justice, and
from information in our possession, we
are of the opinion that conviction
in the case could not have been Sc
cured. The effect of airing the mat
ter, and the indictments of the grand
jury, has had wholesome effect, and
the hid as regards gambling has
not been so closely nailed down in
years as since these actions were be-
gun. The effect will not be unre-
strained and flagrant gambling in
Virginia Citv as some fear, and the law
will be more closely observed than
ever.
The case has been the means of
creating more pronounced anti
gambling sentiment in the community.
It is freely expressed on all sides that
this case should be promptly followed
by resolution by the board of coun-
| ty commissioners, serving notice that
the first complaint received by the
board will result in a prompt revoca-
tion of the license of the place COM
planned of. Such an edict would have
salutary effect Immediately. Pub
! lie demands that something of this
kind be forthcoming. Had action along
| this line been taken months ago and
enforced, it is safe to say the county
would not now be facing jury and
cost bill of $500. 1t has been an ex,
pensive experience and one that
should be profted by.-Virginia City

5. P. LANDS SELL.
ING OFF RAPIDLY

III. M. Mccartney, speial land agent
for the Southern Pacific, is still at the
Hotel Lafayette, and states that the rs
sections of land placed on sale by his
company the first of the month are be-
ing sold off at rate far exceeding the
expectations of all parties interested.
OF the IL, 900 acres in this vicinity
placed on sale three weeks ago, $4,000
acres have already been sold, 1900
acres by Mr.. Mccartney personally
here in Winnemucea.
Cheap lands on long time are fast be-
coming a matter of hisory, and thous-
ands of homeseekers will doubtless
take advantage of the Southern Pa
cife s. liberal contract to secure homes.
The smallest tract that will be sold is
100 acres, and all lands are listed at
prices ranging from $500 to $500 per
acre. Ten per cent of the purchase
price is required when the contract is
made, the balance to be paid in nine
yearly instalments, with interest at 6
per cent. The second payment, how
ever, need not be made for two years.
If, at any time within five years, the
purchaser wishes to pay the balance
due, he will be given discount of five
per cent from the list price.
Many Local People Buy Lands.
Among the local people to buy lands
are Attorney l.. G.. Campbell who pur-
chased five sections in the neighbor-
borhood of the Sonoma ranch for him
self and Judge Jones, of Reno.
G. L. Tobin, assistant cashier of the
First National bank, bought a whole
section south and half section north
of the river.
b. Connolly, manager of the Verdi
Lumber company, secured section
south of town.
F. f. Born, local agent for the
Southern Pacific, bought half section
at Willow Point.
George s. Clark secured a section
northeast of town
T.. w. Wilson, of San Francisco, pur-
chased a section east of town and two
and half sections north of the river.
The largest individual purchaser thus
far is Charles G. Reeder, of Spokane,
who bought 9,162 acres in the vicinity
of Willow Point. As soon as the con
tracts have been signed, Mr.. Reeder
will put a standard rig on the proper
ty and bore for artesian water.
Homeseekers' Excursions.
On the first and third Tuesdays of
Southern Pacific will sell homeseek-
ers' excursion tickets from various
eastern cities to Elko, Battle Noun
ain and Winnemucea, at the following
