LENTEN SEASON COMMENCES
TOMORROW, ASH WEDNESDAY

The Lenten season commences to-
morrow, Ash Wednesday. IT has al
ways been observed since the time of
the apostles as a solemn fast in honor
of our Lord s forty days fast in the
desert, likewise eommemorating His
bitter sufferings and death on the
cross, and as "A period Of special atone
ment for sin. To quote from the
pastoral letter Of Bishop Grace" The
faithful are reminded that besides the
obligation Of fasting imposed by the
church, Lent should be in very
special manner a time Of earnest pray
err, of sorrow for sin, Of abstemiation
from amusements, which, not sinful
in themselves, are permitted during
other portions Of the year; and of
generous almsgiving TO the poor
Therefore, in all the Catholic
churches Of the diocese of Sacramento
it is ordered that, Ia addition to the
usual Sunday devotions, Lenten ex-
erc'ses he held on two evenings Of each
week. On one Of the evenings an
instruction is to be given; on the
other, the stations of the cross, and
permission is hereby given for Bene-
dictiun Of the Blessed Sacrament on
both evenings

HOMEBUILDERSBUY
IN NEW ADDITION

Quite a number of homebuilders and
prospective investors were on hand
Sunday at the opening sale of lots in
the new addition just put on the mar.
eket known as Upper Winnemucca Ten
lots were sold the first day, and it is
believed that every buyer intends
building at an early date and the most
OF them making their homes there.
1t is agreed by all who visit this
new addition that the location is ideal.
1t is the most elevated place in the
town; the view is not equalled in any
other section Of the city and there are
no unsightly shacks, stables, chicken
coops or untidy board fences to detract
from the appearance of the place.
The work of planting trees by the
Humboldt Realty company, owners of
the addition, will be pushed as rapidly
as possible, contract has been let for
the grading of the streets and other
steps will be taken at an early date
to enhance the beauty of the place and
make it the most desirable residence
section of Winnemucca.
The first buyer was Charles Hardt,
of the Winnemucea meat market. He
secured a choice corner on Bridge
street 1t is Mr.. Hardt's intention to
build home soon.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
TO LOOSEN UP

Judge Robert s. Lovett, chairman
of the executive committee Of the
Hartman system, will visit San Fran

administration for the past year, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. While il
Is not the intention Of the Harriman
officials to declare the retrenchment
policy off altogether, it is necessary, II
is said, that the railroad be granted
larger appropriations for the next
fiscal year and it is to discuss the par
ticulars and necessities for these ap-
propriations that Lovett is coming
west.
Lovett has been inspecting a mum.
Der of the Hartman roads for the same
purpose. Last week he inspected thA
Texas lines Of the Hartman system
and from Texas is scheduled to enter
Mexico and inspect the Hartman prop
critics in that republic. He is expected
to arrive in San francisco within u
month, at the latest, and will be met
in Los Angeles by Sproule and Vice
President f. 0. Mccormick The work
of preparing the annual budget Of the
Southern Pacific company is now under
way. The recommendations include
requests for appropriations far in ex.
cess of those asked for the current fis-
cal year, appropriations that officials
of the company declare are absolutely
necessary to prepare for the anticipat-
ed traffic Of 1915. The granting Of
these-and officials of the company be-
lieve there is no doubt about them be-
ing granted-wiil necessitate par
tial recession from the retrenchment
policy now in effect and will provide
for the employment of MANY more
men. When the retrenchmnt was an

ton of the Southern Pacifc's army of
employees. each department being af-
fected. BY means of an deficiency
campaign instituted shortly thereaf-
ter, the Southern Pacific has wound its
way along without experiencing any
material Inconvenience, but that it
viii not be able to continue thus is the
opinion of the railroad s officials.
Among the heaviest appropriations to
be asked for inJune at the annual Har-
riman conference IS one providing for
an extensive Panama-Pacifc Interna-
tional exposition advertising campaign

TO DETERMINE
FLOW OF STREAM

The United States geological sur
vey frequently receives letters inquir-
ing for some simple method of deter.
mining the approximate flow of
streams or small rivers. 1t is believed
that the following instructions may
be Of some value to those who for any
reason wish to determine the velocity
or volume of a stream.
To ascertain the velocity of the
stream choose q place where the chan.
mel is straight for 100 to 200 feet and
has nearly constant width and depth;
lay OF on the bank line SO or 100
feet in length, marking each end;
then allow small chips to foat down
the stream, by one Of the methods de-
scribed below, noting the time requir.
ed for these to traverse the distance
laid off on the bank. The surface We
locity in feet per second is obtained
by dividing the distance in feet pass
ed over by the float by the time in Sec
onds it takes the float to travel this
distance. The average of several such
determinations will give the mean sur
face velocity of the stream. This re-
suit multiplied by the coetncient 0.S0
gives very nearly the mean velocity of
the stream.
To obtain the area Of the cross Sec
tion of the stream, stretch tape from
shore to shore and take the depth of
the stream at intervals of two to FIVE
feet. The average of these depths NAV
be assumed as the mean depth of the
stream. This average multiplied bv
the total width will give the area of
the cross section of the stream in
square feet.
The discharge is found by multiply
ing this cross-section area by the
mean velocity, as obtained by the
float measurement, the result giving
the discharge in second feet, or, in
other words. the number of cubic feet
flowing past the point of measurement
each second
Tn determining the velocity for
small streams and when only approx
mate results are desired the float is
placed in the center of the stream
only. For larger streams and when
rreater accuracy is desired tape is
Ttretched across the stream and the
distance between the banks is divided
INTO a number of equal spaces or see.
tions. Floats are then allowed to
drift down the stream as near as pos
sible in the center of each of these
spaces, the same number of floats be-
ing used for each section. The mean
surface velocity is then assumed to be
the mean of the surface volociti OBJ
tanned for the several sections For
each float the distance of its starting
point from the RIGHT bank is recorded
as indicated

CORONFR'S JURY
HOLDS INQUEST

Charles Goodwin, and old man, died
Sunday morning at a cabin which he
occupied near the Southern Pacific
depot.
Goodwin had been on a protracted
spree and when he died several empty
whisky bottles in the cabin led to the
belief that acute alcoholism was the
cause of death. This belief was borne
out by an autopsy performed by DR..
Giroux at the Miller undertaking
rooms, to which place the body was
removed. :. M,t...
A fellow named Jim Doyle, who was
with the Old man at the time of his
death, was put in. Jail to sober up so he
could tell anything he might know Of
the matter.
Goodwin was an inmate of the coun-
ty hospital for time and had been
discharged about two weeks prior to
his death. 1t is said that he had $3.50
at the time he left the hospital, but
only few dollars were found on his
body.
An adjourned session of the coro-
ner's inquest is being held in Justice
Dunn's court room this afternoon to
determine the cause of death.

TARMNER MURDER CASE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

The Tramner case is probably up in
Carson City today. The Reno Gazette
arriving this morning says that Dis
trict Attorney Woodburn has gone to
Carson to argue against the granting
of a writ of habeas corpus in the mat
ter of the application of J. Frank
Trimmer for a writ on the ground that
the district court has no jurisdiction
over him and no right to try him for
the murder of Marie Quiici. In this
matter the defendant is represented
by Attorneys Parker and Frame, who
defended TRAINER when he was ON
trial for the murder of Jean Quilici
and was found guilty and sentenced to
serve a life term in the Nevada peni-
tentiary
These attorneys now contend that
TRAINER cannot be taken from prison
and tried for an act alleged to have
been committed prior to the time he
was sentenced for the murder of Jean
Quiliei. They also contend that even
if the district court did have iurisdic-
tion TO try him it would not have iur-
isdiction to impose the death sentence
and that as he is already under SEN
tence for life for the murder of Jean
Ouiliei, nothing could be accomplished
ty another trial ON another charge.
