Nevada has been reading the
death lists from foods and cloud
bursts from over the union. but
never believed that such a fatal
ity would rush into the home zone
and claim d score Of victims
Such occurred at MaZuma. a Small
mining town near Seven Troughs
in Humboldt County last even
ing. A telegram from I.Ovelock,
the nearest railroad point gives
the following story of this loss of
life in Nevada by the cloud burst
LOVELOCK. New, July IS
Estimates made here to night arc
that from twenty to twenty-hve
persons dead will prove the final
toll of human life taken by flood
following a cloudburst which to
day wiped out the mining camp of
Mazma and destroyed the busl-
ness section of Seven Troughs.
The cloudburst originated far
up in the mountains and shortly
before ) clock in the afternoon,
H::tel fifteen feet high sweeping
without warning to the lnhabl-
tants of the camps, sent "a wall OF
down the hillsides. carrying death
and destruction in its path.
The Known Dead
Nine persons are listed among
the known dead, one woman IS
missing and believed lost. two
others recovered are seriously in
jured and may die, while late
message states that fourteen bod
les have been recovered. of which
ten can be identified. but four. by
reason Of their condition prob
ably can never be known.
May Be More Dead
The latest message coming
from Vernon, four miles north OF
Seven Troughs states that an III
telligent estimate OF the total
deaths cannot be made, owing to
darkness which has delayed the
work of search and Identification
until daylight.

CARSON CITY, July Is, 1912.
Hon. Cleveland II. Baker,
Attorney General, Carson City,
Nevada.
My Dear General:
As the matter of the nomination
of candidates for Presidential FL
lectors by the Democratic, Re
publican, Socialist and other par
ties in the State of Nevada is very
important and as there seems to
be a wide divergence OF opinion
as to the legal and proper method
OF effecting such nominations
this year, l beg to submit my
views on the same, with the hope
that you will give them careful
consideration and advise me your
conclusions as to the proper inter
probation of the daw.
The original Primary Election
Law passed by the Legislature OF
1909, approved March %, 1909
(Stats. 1909, p. 273), contains the
following provision in Section 2
of said Act:
This Act shall not apply to
special elections to fill vacancies,
to the nomination Of party candi-
dates for Presidential Electors;
nor to the nomination of officer ;
of the municipalities, whose char
ters provide q system for nomin-
ating candidates for such offices,
ETC."
In the Legislature of 1911 an
Act was passed (Stats. 1911, page
334) amending the above quoted
Section 2. so that it would read
as follows:
This Act shall not apply to
Special Elections to fill vacancies
to the nomination Of party candi-
dates for Presidential Electors,
nor to the nomination Of officers
of the incorporated cities, whose
charters Or ordinances now or
hereafter may provide a system
of nominating candidates for such
offices, nor to the nomination of
officers for reclamation and irri-
cation districts; etc.
The remaining portion Of See
ton 2 which ! have not quoted IS
identical in words and punctua-
ton in both the original and the
amendatory Act. but a cOmparl-
son Of the first portion quoted will
show that the amendatOry Act
changed the law with regard to
the nomination of officers OF
cities, making that portion OF the
provision more explicit and ap-
plying to cities whose charters
or ordinances may thereafter pro-
vide system for nominating
candidates for offices. and it will
also be observed that the comma
after the word vacancies in the
first part Of the paragraph quot
ed is omitted in the amendatory
Act. The omission of this com
ma seems to have caused the con-
fusion in the Interpretation OF the
law as amended
At a regularly called meeting
Of the Democratic State Central
Committee of Nevada. held at Re-
no on the 18th day Of April, 1912.
a resolution was adopted prOvid-

Right Rev. Bishop O'Donaghue ad-
ministered the sacrament of con-
firmation to ninety-seven persons, OF

main faithful to the salutary lessons
taught them by their kind and zeal
GUS pastor, Rev. Father Francis
Felten. who had erected their beau

fully and earnestly for them. The

BEAUTIFIED.
Churchill Downs and Its
Many Agreeable
Changes.

The thousands of people who will
be at Churchill Downs today to at
tend the spring race meeting of the
Louisville Jockey Club, the feature
of which will be the thirty-eighth
renewal of the Kentucky Derby, will
walk in, an atmosphere agreeable
and unchanged at old Churchill
Downs, but, there will be many
changes agreeable to the eye, yet
retaining the sentiment lowering
over the place and which for some
unknown but kindly reason makes
It different from otter race tracks.
On, the front lawn will be beds OF
dainty flowers, artistically trimmed
evergreens and palms lining the
entrance to the grandstand. This
structure will be bright in fresh
green and white. But at the club
house it will be found that the most
extensive transformation has been
wrought. On the roof over the
promenade, where the beauty and
the chivalry of the whole country
have on so many occasions formed
such gay scenes, there Will be
colonial style boxes, extending the
entire length of the club house.
Each box will seat as many as ten
persons, and will be snow white and
decorated. Here win be representa-
tives of highest society extending
from the four corners of the repub-
lie. From this elevated position the
club house members and their
guests may view the races without
any obstruction whatever, never
losing sight of the horses from
start to finish at any part of the
course.

Dilatory. Sir Blaise, Duval and
Chief Lindsey, which assures the
