the seven arrested are all poor men,

stakes. In any event, if the the game
was being played for money, there was
none in sight.
Whether they were gambling or not,
is matter that concerns the taxpay

to the grand jury the men, who will
be unable to give bail, will be COM
PEELED to lay in Jail until the next
term of court, at the expense of the

Seven men enjoying a friendly game
of cards ON a holiday.
As near as can be ascertained, the
citizens of National found no fault
with this card playing. 1t remained
for a state policeman to sneak in and
place the men under arrest. 1t would
seem that if this is all state police can
find to do, it would be well for the
taxpayers to have them abolished.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC

Vice President C. II. Schlacks, of
the Western Pacific, passed through
Winnemucca Tuesday evening, by
special train, on his return to the
coast from trip to the east. Speak
ing of his mission yesterdays San
Francisco Chronicle says:
Charles III. Scmlacks, vice-president
of the Western Pacific railroad, return
ed yesterday from Salt Lake and Den
yer, where he has been for the past
six weeks in conference with other
Gould railroad officials discussing the
Hartman roads closing of the Den
yer gateway to the northwest on Jan
uary 1st, and the electrifcation work
to be done on Soldier Summit in the
Wasatch mountains in Utah. The lat
ter work will, when completed, con
stitute an advantage to the Western
Pacific traffic, especially the freight
traffic, and the lessening of the grade
would have been effected before but
for the lack of an appropriation for
the work
The Gould lines practically have
been shut out of traffic to the north
west since the Hartman lines an
nounced the policy of shutting the
Denver gateway to the northwest,
and the conference of Gould officials
was called for the specific purpose of
forming some policy of retaliation.
Just what this will be is a question
now, though it is commonly reported
that the Gould and Hill lines will
form traffic policy which will effec-
tually offset the disadvantage caused
by the Hartman edict.
Vice-President Schlacks was not in
clned to discuss the results of the
conference, but that he will within
few days was predicted in railroad
circles. The announcement of what
the Gould roads will do to offset the
Hartman edict will be given out with
in a few days, it is understood.

A glance at the tables discloses the
fact that the reductions as a whole
amount to about one-ffith of the pres
ent rates, and upon the basis of last
years business the most careful esti-
mate shows that expressed in dollars,
the total annual saving to the shippers
and travellers will amount to about
$65,000 in round numbers. This is
most substantial benefit to the entire
shipping, consuming and travelling
public of the Ely district, and it is
benefit that should be appreciated
by all concerned.
The commission S action in this case
marks most pronounced improve
ment in the traffic situation on the
Nevada Northern railway.

FREE
Attractions Will Be a Part
of the Fairmont Fair
Program.

FAIRMoNT. Aug. 30-"some-
thing doing every minute" will be
the rule at the Fairmont fair which
will begin four-day session at the
new plant of the association septen-
Der 10. Secretary John s. Scott, OF
the fair, who has. devoted his entire
time for the last fiye years scheming
how to best entertain fair crowds
has decided that large number
OF smaller free attractions is far bet
ter than one big act and in the fu-
ture this policy will prevail at Fair
mont.
mot every fair patron likes
racing to the extent that he can sit
in. a stand and see heat after heat
all the afternoon. 1t requires some
thing else to entertain him. OF
course there is the band which is
almost continually playing and
there are the attractions on the
midway which one may visit during
the afternoons. but still those are not
enough" said Mr.. Scott. This fall
for the Fairmont fair, 4 have not
booked one big free attraction, for
the good reason that weather and
other conditions cause mishaps to
such entertainments. ON the other
hand, have billed large number
OF smaller acts, with which nothing
can interfere / have stages erected
in front OF the grand stand and Just
as soon as heat of racing is over
there will be an act go on to be fol-
lowed by another, keeping up an
endless chain of entertainment from
noon until dark, OF course, all of
the offerings may not be marvels of
their kind, but there will be plenty
OF them and the patrons will not be
given chance to get lonesome"

Geysers are found in only three

, covered, New Zealend and the yell
lowstone National Park, in which
these natural steam engines are
/ more numerous and OF greater beau

toned. In the Yellowstone Park
! the geysers are found in detached
/ geyser basins, or Are holes, as they
were called by the first explorers,
and the groups possess individual
peculiarities which give character
i and interest to each locality. The
most noted of these "basins" is, how
ever, that known as the Upper Gey-
ser Basin OF the F'irehole river. one
of the headwaters of the great Mis-
souri,. The whole floor of the valley
Is fairly riddled with springs
of the boiling water. whose ex-
quisite beauty is indescrlbable
Light clouds of feecy vapor curl up
ward from waters OF the purest
azure or the clearest of emerald,
and, encircling rims of white mar
ble-like silica, form fit setting for
such great gems. A large part or
the valley floor is covered with the
white deposit of silica known as
siliceous slnter, deposited by the
overlooking hot waters. The weird
Wilderness of these areas, the gaunt
white trunks of pine trees killed by
the hot waters, the myriad pools of
steaming crystal, and the white
clouds floating OF from the chimney
like geyser cones, form a scene never
to be forgotten by those fortunate
enough to behold it.
The intermittent spoutfng of gey
sers was long a riddle to scientific
men. The theory, which bears
the name of the illustrious chemist,
Bunsen, IS now generally accepted.
This theory is based on the we'll
known fact that the boiling point of
water rises with the pressure. and is
therefore higher at the bottom of a
tube OF water than at the surface.
In long and narrow or an irregu-
lar tube ebullition in the lower part
Is only possible at a much higher
temperature than at the top, owing
to the weight of the water column
above it. If by the continued heat
ing the lower layer OF water attains
the temperature at which it can boil,
steam is formed, whose expansive
force lifts the superintendent COL
umn OF water, causing slight over
flow at the top. which shortens the
column, so that steam is formed at
"a higher point and further lifting
and relief Of pressure ensues, fol-
lowed by an eruption.
