]. That one OF the problems with
which the American people will
soon have to deal is the revival Of
polygamy in Utah-for the Mormon
church has violated its own revelation
in that the polygamous marriages cor

given up and new plural marriages
have taken place on a considerable
scale.
2. That new polygamous marriages
have been entered into by young men
and women 20 to 30 years old.
3. That If polygamy should suddenly
stop. enough young people have en-
tered the relation recently to keep
the institution alive in Utah for an
other fifty years.
4. That Polygamy is nearly as prev
alent there now as 1t was before
1890.
5. That the long list of recent polyg-
amous marriages in Salt Lake City
(more than 200) is admitted to be
correct by Mormons as well as Cen
tiles.
6. That the Church still teaches
polygamy openly as orthodox Nor
mon doctrine.

HAPPENINGS DURING
CONVENTION DAY.

Hon. w. w. Williams entertained a
large number of his friends from over
the state at luncheon at his home Mon
day between convention hours. Story
telling, and believe US some good ones
were told, formed the chief diversion,
aside from the luncheon. A strange
coincidence had to do with the congre-
eating of four state senators, who to-
gether with II others formed the sem
ate of 1888 that labored at Carson. Old
men they are and hoary headed, but
their activities have been but slightly
lessened, and they are still busy men of
affairs both political and business, or
they would not have been here. Thus
again is the great virtue of Nevada s
climate and mode of living extant here
demonstrated.
An amusing incident happened Mon
day morning as the motor pulled in.
The local brass band had been ordered
to.the depot to meet the incoming horde
of Republican delegates. As the motor
came in sight the musicians filled their
bellows and began to play. They play
ed as they never cid before in their
lives and as the sweet strains filled the
atmosphere two belated delegates with
their carpet bags climbed inquiringly
off the motor. Each looked at the 9TH
er in an attempt to locate greatness.
Then the band leader looked; his puz-
zled countenance started other musical
eyes to wandering and an awful what
the-l expression took possession of
everybody. Then the band beat it for
town, where there was more doing.
Governor Oddie and George Wing
field were among the distinguished vis-
itors who were taken to the summit of
Fallon Butte Monday afternoon for a
birdseye view of the great Lahontan
valley. And they, together with the
other visitors were impressed with the
greatness of this valley; a greatness
that will increase as time goes along
for many years and that was made pos
sible only by the governments s expend-
iture here of six millions of dollars.
The view from the only eminence worth
mentioning within the valley is an ex-
cellent one and the sweep of the eye
covers an empire that will some day be
made to yield the maximum fruition to
society.

SECRETARY MAKES RULINGS
Homestead Mortgage Now Rec
ognized By The Governor
on Project Lands.

The Secretary of the Interior has put
into effect number of important mod
ifications of the regulations governing
the assignments of homestead entries
within irrigation projects.
A settler is now permitted to assign
to any part of farm unit with the ap-
proval of the Project Engineer upon
the fling with the local land Office of
plat of amended farm unit approved by
the engineer along with the other pap
ers. When one-half of the irrigable
area has been reclaimed the entryman
may make proof of reclamation with
out regard to the number of payments
of the building charge which have been
made and will receive evidence of the
acceptance of such proof. Provision is
made for recording mortgages which
will facilitate the making of loans and
at the same time protect the money
lenders. 1t is believed that the new
regulations will result in great i'm
provement Of the conditions on many of
the government projects where the set
tiers have been severely handicapped
through lack of funds by reason of in
ability to borrow money on their lands.

NEVADA HILLS MINE BULLION
twenty-five Bars of Value of

That the two weeks run of the Ne.

bullion that has resulted from the run.
Twenty-one bars of bullion, of a tota
value of S27, 600 passed through Fallon
Saturday consigned to the Selby Smell
tering Works in San Francisco. The
bullion came in under special guard and
was taken up here by Wells-Fargo
Company, which delivered !. at its des-
tination.
At the rate Of production maintained
during the past two weeks the Nevada
Hills mine will produce something more
than half a million dollars annually, and
those familiar with the great mine and
its reserve deposits of precious ore pre-
diet that for many years such a rate of
production can easily be maintained.

GOVERNOR ODDIE CLAIMS
HE WILL NOT RESIGN.

Governor 0ddie, who attended the
state convention, was querrled over the
phone by Reno newspaperman Mon
day for his side of the story that was
set afoot in Reno to the effect that the
chief executive was about to resign, as
a result of his numerous official difficult
ties. He was exceedingly wroth and
in extraordinarily firm language sought
to repudiate the rumor. He said: 'the

Taft's Nomination Now Claimed 60

President Taft's political managers
are encouraged tremendously by his

regard as clinching his nomination at

Even before it was learned that Col
mel Roosevelt had instructed his dele
gates at large (who obviously were
elected through error on the part of the
voters) TO vote for Taft, confidence was
expressed that in view of the fact that
the president had carried the state by
a majority of nearly 1000 that these
delegates at large would be in honor
bound to obey the mandate of the pee
pie. Not only would any other course
have been wholly Inconsistent with the
policies which Roosevelt has so strong
ly urged, but there would be grave
questions regarding the legality of
votes cast in direct opposition to the
expressed preference of a majority of
the people.

started that story did so maliciously
and its manufacture is out of pure
cloth.
When the governor had concluded his
talk over the phone to the newspaper
man at the other end of the line, it was
with some difficulty that he regained
his composure. The thought of giving
up his job seemed to greatly worry
him, even though there is no way save
impeachment or death to bring about
the result. Anyhow, the rumor has
made one thing plain: that Oddie will
continue to draw his salary warrants
until his successor is duly elected lit
tie more than two years hence. That a
a successor will be elected to take his
place is a reasonably sure prognostica-
tion at this time, judging from the
statewide sentiment, though there are
those among his partisans, some of
whom are representative men, who
aver that he has made good.

GEO. WIhGFIELD BUYS LAND
Adds To His Churchill County
Holdings By Buying Section
of Island Land.

Negotiations that have been in pro-
gress between r. l.. Douglass and
George Wingfeld for several months
were brought to mutually satisfac-
tory close Thursday when the latter
purchased GAO tract of Island Ranch
land from Mr.. Douglass for consider
alton of $50, 200. OF the tract, all car
ries recognized vested water right,
while 450 acres are in alfalfa and grain
crops, and are leveled as land should
be. The land figuring in the deal lies
in compact body, the northern lines
approaching mr. Douglass home plot
Messrs. Wingfeld and Douglass dealt
direct with each other, agents being
eliminated entirely in effecting the
transfers, which included assignments
of water rights as we'll as landed trans
fers.
Mr.. Douglass still has $500 acres of
of land left, of which 1000 acres carry a
vested water right. 1t is his purpose
TO further develop this tract of land,
and he will bring practically ali of it
into high state of cultivation.
Mr.. Wingfeld has already announced
his intention to build this fall set of
modern farm buildings on the tract pur-
chased, where he will develop an estate
that will be a model. Unlike many
who have made their fortunes in min
ing, he has particular hobby for farm
ing and fine stock raising and these
branches will form his chief endeavor
on his newly acquired land.
