CHOICE OF SENATOR
LEFT TO VOTERS

DR.. II. E. Reid, chairman Of the Re-
publican state central committee, has
received an acknowledgment from
Clay Tallman, chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee relative
the agreement OF both parties to
require their candidates for the legis-
lature to abide by the result of the
primary choice for United States sen
ator at the November election. The
letter is as follows:
Tonopah, Nevada, July 20, 1912.
Hon. H. +. Reid, Chairman Republi-
can State Central Committee, Reno,
Nevada.
Dear Sir: / beg to acknowledge
herewith your communication of the
9th inst, wherein, as chairman of the
Republican state central committee
you advise that your organization is
instEucting your county chairman to
see to it as far as possible that all can
didates on the Republican ticket for
the legislature make the declaration in
their nomination papers, to the effect
that they will abide by the peoples
vote in the election of United States
senator; also that your communication
is with the further object of later on
proposing that the candidates for
United States senator enter into an
agreement to the same effect as that
entered into by the candidates two
and four years ago.
In reply beg to state that I am
heartily in accord with this procedure,
and have not the slightest doubt but
that all candidates for the legislature
on the Democratic ticket will sign and
faithfully carry out the pledge where
in they will agree to vote for that can
didate for United States senator re-
ceiving the highest number of the peo-
pies votes.
This procedure in this state was
originally proposed by the Democratic
party and candidates.; the provision of
the primary law providing for the
pledge referred to was enacted by a
Democratic Legislature, and the last leg
islature which was Democratic on
joint ballot, elected a Republican Unit
ed States senator without dissenting
vote, thus carrying out all prediction
pledges. | know of no disposition on
the part of our party to change this
method of election of United States
senator, which / think all parties will
agree, has worked very satisfactorily
in the election of United States sena-
tors by the last two legislatures.
1t follows therefore, that / have
every reason to believe that l can
safely state that the Democratic party
in this state will be only too glad to
cooperate with the Republican organ
ization, as well as all other party or
ganizations, in absolute good faith to
control in the election of United
States senator.
Very respectfully,
CLAY TALLMAN.

UNITED STATES SURVEY.
ORS DETERMINE ATTITUDES

For the past few days a corps Of six
men. with the government Coast and
Geodetic Survey, have been making
their headquarters at the Shone House.
On the first of March the party, in
charge of J. II. Peters, started from
San Francisco to determine the alti-
tudes between that point and Beowa-
we, the distanre from Ogden to Beo-
wave having been covered last year.
As a matter Of convenience the line Of
the Southern Pacific has been followed,
bench marks being placed at intervals
Of three miles In Winnemucca two
were placed, one on the courthouse and
the other on the Southern Pacific wa
ter tank.
From San Francisco the party work
ed to Reno, going from that city to
Beowawe, and they are now working
back to Reno. When they nave com
pleted their work, anyone wishing to
determine the exact altitude OF any
point on the route may ascertain same
by writing to the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, Washington, d. G.

CLAIMS COPPER MINE
Will SOON Be PRODUCER

J. c. Weir, of the Humboldt Pioneer
Mining & Reduction company, is in
town experimenting the shipment of
material to the copper mines of the
company to erect a reduction plant.
The ore will be handled by process
of their own invention, something af-
ter the order of eyaniding. The tanks
and a portion of the other equipment
are already on the ground.
Mr.. Weir located the property, stu
ated II miles this side of DEMO, in
1868, and has hung on since that time,
never losing faith in the proposition.
In the early days the ground was aban-
doned for time, on account of In
dians, but as soon as they had been
subdued work was again started.
Mr.. Weir, who bears striking re-
semblance to James j. Hill, the rail
road magnate, states that he expects to
see his teams driving up Bridge street,
within the next ninety days, with wag-
ons loaded with pure copper.

LITTLE DONE AT
CHAMBER MEETING

The regular monthly meeting Of the
members of the Chamber of Commerce
was held at headquarters Thursday ev.
ening, with a good attendance.
In the absence Of President Sheehan
and Vice-President Summerfield, J. P.
Grandel was elected to preside at the
meeting.
Minutes of the last meeting were
read and
That was as far as the session pro-
ceeded. A certain member, with an
assumption of humility that would
have done credit to Uriah Heep, as
sured the members that his heart was
without guile and that he wished only
for peace and harmony. However, the
next instant he contended that the
previous meeting had been star-cham-
ber' preceding and declared the elec-
tion of directors Illegal claiming
that two men voted who were not mem
mers of the Chamber at that time. In.
cidentally it may be mentioned that
the gentleman was one of the mem
bers who was not elected director.
From that time until 1890 the dis
cussion became general, at times wax
ing warm, until the meeting had be-
