WHEN COMMISSIONER STOKER
WAS IN HIS PRIME

While talking with a friend last
evening Commissioner Stoker pulled
out his watch, with the remark that he
must hurry as he was late for his sup
per. The timepiece was an old fashion
eed hunting-case silver affair, about six
inches in diameter, and one of the
party asked how long he had carried it.
Twenty-Five years." was the reply,
accompanied with a chuckle. Gin
1890 friend and myself were in San
Jose, California, and having nothing
particular to do went into a saloon to
pass the time away. Some fellows
there, who had ringer in .ow, got
to talking about jumping and offered
to bet their man could out Jump any
man on the coast. Ny friend and
held consultation, after which we
asked them how much they wanted to
bet. On showdown it turned out
that they had no money, but offered to
bet this watch and another just like
it, two pretty fair six-shooers and a
miscellaneous lot of 'phony' jewelry
against 500 in money. We told them
they were on, and went out behind the
saloon with a couple of lanterns to see
by, as it had grown dark and there was
no moon. say, that young fellow made
me jump some. l only beat him an
inch and a half.
"We returned to the saloon, where
we bought drinks for the losers. A
colored porter, who had witnessed the
match, was heard to remark to the
bartender: Fob de lub OBJ Gwad!
Dat big fellah is de jumpinist ole cuss

Low RATE PLAN FOR
DEMOCRATIC CONvEIT

In anticipation of the Democratic
state convention at Fallon on .ruue g..
tie state central committee is sending
ou7 notices giving information shat re-
drced rates, amounting to fare anl a
third for the round trip, may be had
by following plan outlined. =.
The plan will insure those attending
getting the rate provided it is followed
by fifty or more attending the conven-
tion. Tnasmuch as 1876 members are
elected, it is probable that there will
be no difficulty in securing the requisite
number.
To secure the reduction it is neces-
sary for those purchasing one way
tickets to Fallon, to obtain from the
home agent a certificate which when
endorsed by the secretary of the con-
vention enables the holder to pur-
chase the return ticket for one-third
of the regular fare.-Journal.

Route Not Yet Decided Upon.

Although the map in the offices Of
the Winnemucca Northern railway
shows the proposed line running north
to McDermitt by way of Barrett
Springs, starting west out of town and
running around the mountain, the
route has not yet been determined up
on. The line marked out on the map
is supposed to be the most direct
route, as well as the best grade, in no
place exceeding one per cent, and be-
ing on an average about one-half of one
per cent.
In a conference with Col. Place last
evening, Commissioner Haviland sug-
gested feasible route, via Willow
Point and Paradise hill. At the first
mentioned point the line could swing
out to within about IA miles of the
town Of Paradise, which would insure
the line the entire tonnage of Para
disc valley. BY making this curve
Commissioner Haviland was of opinion
that Paradise hill could be overcome
without a prohibitive grade. Within
the next few days, however, Col. Place
and party will cover the ground by
auto, going out via one route and re-
turning by the other.

TEN FEET SNOW
AT H|CHCRADE

A letter received this morning from
Dick Brennan contains the following
regarding the camp of High Grade,
California;:
Wild rumors are still going on here
about the richness of the district. Not
one outsider has yet got into the camp
to prospect, as there is still ten feet
of snow. What they have in the mines
already discovered it is hard to tell
They show us some very rich ore, but
no one gets to go into the mines, as
it is claimed they are under option. A
great many are coming in and great
many going out, very much disappoint
ed, as they have seen nothing. Our
camp is nearest in and we have been
here over a month. We saw nothing
when we came in and it looks just as
good yet. Once in while a snowshoe
man comes down with a nice piece of
rock showing free gold, but it will
never be a high grade camp. If it
makes 500 camp think that will be
the limit, and the season for working
or camping in there will be short-only
about four months.

NEWS OF WEEK
AT WASHINGTON
(Specisl to the Silver State.)

WASHINGTON, May 25-The con-
ferees appointed by the mousse and the
senate to telee upon Il thre,, year home
stead bill reached an agreement Tues
day afternoon and will report to their
respective houses during the week. The
conferees accepted the bill as it passed
the house with two amendments.
One provided that the cntryman
shall cultivate not less than sixteenth
of his entry beginning with the Sec
ond year of entry and one-eighth be-
ginning with the third year and until
final proof; also that the bill shall ap-
ply to all entries under the Smoot en-
larged homestead act, but in the case
of entries under section six of this act
double these amounts Of cultivation
should be required.
The other amendment extends the
provision of the bill to all unprotected
homestead entries. Senator Smoot was
the chairman of the conference commit
tee, and it was due mainly to his eff
forts that an agreement was reached.
1t is expected that the conference re-
port will be accepted by both houses
of congress.

MAY DIVIDE TOWN INTO
TWO VOTING PRECINCTS

A petition is being circulated todav
praying the board of county commits
sioners to divide Winnemucca into two
voting precincts. While the dividing
line is left to the discretion of the
board, it is considered probable that it
will be either Third or Fourth streets.
The town now casts so many votes
that it takes about "a hours for the
count, with the result that the judges
and clerks of election do not recover
from the ordeal for week. With two
precincts, however, the count should be
finished before breakfast on the morn
ing following election day.

WATER WILL FURNISH MOTIVE
POWER OF THE FUTURE

Ihe united states Is passing rapidly
from an agricultural country to an in
dustrial one, and this transition is ac-
companied by large increase in pow
er consumption and an enormous drain
on the fuel resources of the country
In 1900 the coal mined in the United
States was approximately 270,000,000
tons. In 1910 this was over 500,000,0 900
tons, an increase of S5 per cent, being
accompanied by an increase in popula-
tion of approximately 90 per cent. This
doubling in the output of coal over a
decade has been the rate of growth for
some time, and, if continued, the ex-
tinction of our known coal deposits
will be a question of comparatively
few years. The cost of mining coal is
increasing every year and will prob
ably continue to do so, even with the
improvements in methods.
Due to the improvements in generat-
ing machinery, the efficiency Of utiliz-
ing the coal for power purposes is con-
stantly being increased, but natural
limit is being approached. 1t is evi-
dent, without further argument, that
the interests of the people demand a
rapid development of all the water
powers which will in any way tend to
decrease the coal consumption.
1t has been estimated by the geologi
cal survey that the available water
power of the United States at mini
mum flow is approximately 36,000,000
horse power, and that this can be in
creased five or six times by suitable
storage facilities. A recent report by
Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith
states that 100000 horsepower has
been developed in the United State,
for electrical and other industrial FUR
poses.
Before the perfection of electrical
apparatus and the possibilities of low
er transmission, it was necessi " to
utilize the water power at the point Of
development, and this reached it's
greatest application in the mdls Of
New England. The possibility of de-
veloping the water power at the point
where it exists, but of utilizing the
power at the places of greatest con-
venience, has been brought about by
the use of electricity, and this has
been an important feature in modern
Industrial undertakings.-David b.
Rushmore, in Scribner.

TO Begin WORK ON
W.N. ROAD JUNE 10

Not later than June 10th next the
Winnemucca Northern railway will
start the ball rolling in earnest. The
headquarters of the company will be
in Winnemucca, supplies of every de-
scription will be purchased here and
labor will be employed here.
The publicity department of the
company will publish and mail broad
cast throughout the country the hand
soonest, most attractive and turthful
publicity matter ever issued from any
western railway Office. In this connec-
tion numerous exchanges have print
ed the most flattering comments as to
the kind of literature the Golden Gate
railway predecessor to the Winnemuc-
ca Northern) used from time to time
while it was engaged in constructing
the line towards Winnemucca from
Caldwell, Idaho. In fact their printed
matter was acceped and mailed to in
quiring settlers by the great railways
traversing this country, all of whom
were assured that they could depend
upon every statement made as the alb
solute truth. This feature means much
to Winnemucca, in fact means every
thing in making our citv what it
should be, the leading metropolis of
Eastern Nevada.
A number of Col. Places associates
will be in Winnemucca today and next
week to confer with him in reference
to the launching to this great rroject. A
reconnaissance Of the country north will
be made commencing next week, the
surveying crews will be in the field by
the date first mentioned and the most
feasible route and easy grade will be
determined upon. When all is in readi-
ness Manager Place has promised to
give us information that will be Of in
terest to the residents Of Winnemucca
and citizens along the route traversed.
He don I say much, promises less and
says that what is done will be done
right and paid for. The Idaho papers
say that he will do what he promises to
do to a dead moral certainty and that
Nevada people can place every conf
dence in him.

House Wool Bill Fails in Senate
Committee.

The senate committee on finance has
authorized Senator Smoot to report ad-
versely the house wool tariff revision
bill and to announce later the Re-
publican members of the committee
would take up the framing of a Re-
publican substitute. The adverse re-
port was on a six to eight vote.
In presenting the committees ad-
verse report on the house bill, Mr..
Smoot stated that the majority expect
ed to report a substitute.
Senator Hepburn protested that as
the majority had taken no action no
member had right to make such a
promise, which was calculated, he said,
to create the impression that the Re-
publican party is about to enter upon
a revision of the tariff -
Senators Lodge and Penrose added
that the Republican members of the
committee would present a bill based
on the report of the tarin board.
Congress legislates, and it has no
masters to dictate its course said

pose not to he guided by the tariff
