The Camp Of
Rochester

Rochester, the new mining camp
that is snow attracting worldwide
attention, is located in the southern
part of Humboldt county, this state
and is of easy access, being but nine
miles from the Southern Pacific
railroad. Oreana, small station a
short distance west of Lovelock is
the nearest point, and is crowded
with people who are anxious to get
on the ground floor in the new Ell
Dorado. Although the first dis
covery was made there twelve years
ago, nothing was done to develop
the discovery at that time, and it
was just recent developments that
brought it before the public as
new camp with a great future.

A Brass Band
Organized
Here

A meeting was held in Gardner
vile Tuesday evening as an outcome
a brass band was organized and re-
hearsing has already been taken up.
The young men in this neighbor-
hood have been discussing organiz-
ing a band for some months past
and even before the formal organ
ization took place, the members
invested several hundred dollars in
the purchase of fine silver plated
instruments. The band starts off
with a membership of Is, and while
many of the members have had
previous band experience, the new
organization will be started from
the very beginning for the benefit
of the new players. A few more
new members would be accepted in
the band and if there is anyone de-
sirous of learning to play band
instrument they should let the fact
be known to Fritz Luhrs, who has
been selected as instructor of the
new organization.

Of Governor Oddie's message TO the
Nevada Legislature:
The state is entering upon a peri
cd Of prosperity in both mines and
agriculture. The debt of the state
is to the state itself, and its credit
as state is not impaired
The fundamental need today is the

ment as much as TO the state GOV

five times as much as in the state.

are advised Other constitutional
amendments proposed include: The
investment of state school funds in
first mortgage loans on farm realty

power of the state from its present
low limit Of 100000. imposing a

Should Enact
AntOmObiie Law

While nearly every other state
in the union have recognized tie
automobile and enacted laws for It's
operation and control. Nevada has
done nothing in this regard. Tne
different town boards and county
commissioners have adopted ordinan-
arces for the control of automobiles
but IN every instance they vary
greatly from the laws Of other
states. Every town mas a different
speed law and the auto tourists have
no way Of knowing when he is Nio-
lating these ordinances.
The legislature should adopt u
universal soeed law for every town
in the state and pass state license
law, taxing autos according to their
rated horse power. All funds thus
collected TO be apportioned to the
road fund of the respective county
in which it Is collected.

Denver, Colo,, March 11.--Stirring
tribute to the rank and file Of Denver's
army of girl and women workers who
maintained their purity in the face Of
grinding poverty was voiced here to-
day by Agnes Riddell, a member of
the lower house of the state legisla-
ture.
at Is wonderful how these girls
said Representative Riddell, keep in
the straight path when one considers
the conditions under which they labor
True, some fall, but, thank God, the
great majority remain good.
However conditions are no better
or worse here than those brought to
light in Chicagos starvation wage
probe and an investigation is needed
here. 1t is not right to deny any girl
a living wage, subject her to the terri
fic pressure of low pay, the high cost
of living and unhealthful self-denial,
no matter how determined she may be
to maintain her purity in the terrific
struggle"
Mrs. Rlddell also announced her de-
termination to introduce a resolution
for an investigation Of wage conditions
in Colorado.

City Attorney Page and Councilman
Macy are the legal representatives in
the case Of the City VS.. Frank Day,
which is being heard before Judge FL
gin in the recorders court this morn
ing.
Day is charged with disorderly con-
duct, which is alleged TO be the result
of fight with Fred Corbin in lodg-
ing house on North Liberty street
Councilman Macy is representing Day
On the witness stand this morning,
Corbin testified that in order to save
his life, he hit Day with an ak, his
fists threatened him with knife and
finally struck him with a milk bot
tie. He told Judge Blgin that Day
rushed at him with a butcher knife,
with the intention Of killing him, and
would have succeeded had It not been
for the defendant being knocked down.
Both combatants were in court, Day
sat with a plaster over his right tenn
pie, and showed City Attorney Page a
hole in his head, where he says Cor
bin struck him with the ak. Corbin's
right arm is in a sling, and long
mark over his forehead shows that he
did not get off without damage. Much
blckeing upon the part of the coun-
sci for the defense and Corbln took
place, and Judge Egin was compelled
repeatedly to interpose objections to
the manner in which the oross-exam-
lnatlon was being carried on.
The case will extend through the
afternoon, owing to the number Of
witnesses to be examined, The pro-
ceedings were evidently looked for
ward to with interest, as several wo-
men were in attendance, and took
careful pote Of the statements made
by the witnesses.

THE DRY CAMPAIGN
PARTY LAUNCHED
Decide to Hold an Election Early In
May-Prelimlnarics Are All
Arranged.

With a whooping display Of verbal
and financial pyrotechnics the cam
paign to make Salem a dry town was
officially launched at a meeting at the
First Baptist church at noon today,
Upon motion made by p. f. SchroCk
the board of directors of the Municipal
! Improvement league was authorized to
take the necessary steps for an cleo
ton on the liquor question at the ear
lest possible moment.
The election will without doubt be
held early in May. A special provision
Of the Salem charter makes an elec-
ton possible at that time, and if the
election is to be held in the course Of
the summer, 1t is the desire of the
league as voiced by r. A. Harris, state
printing expert, to hold 1t before
large part Of the population leaves the
city on summer vacation trips.
Expense rot Great.
The prevailing opinion of the gath
ering was that a special election can
be held in Salem for little more than
$3.50, but President jerks declared
that the treasury should contain 500
good substantial iron men before the
campaign Is far along.
1t was pointed out that a special
election is desirable for two main
reasons. One is that If the liquor
question is merely one feature Of a
general election interest in the ques-
ton is frequently lost. Another rea-
son was that It will be practically Inn
possible for the wet forces to colonize
for a special election as they some
times do for general elections where
the liquor question is an issue.
MintOn and RlgdOn There.
w. T. Rigdon and e. C. Minton, the
two fighting members Of the city coun-
Gil, who are nearly always on opposite
sides in city affairs, were both present
at the meeting and each applauded
vigorously what the other had to say,
and they had a lot to say The two
men will join their efforts to make the
town dry.
A special provision of the Salem
charter makes It possible to call a spe-
cial election by ordinance after the
people have presented to the council
an initiative petition asking for spe-
cial election to be held. The charter
is independent of the state statute.

WILL CONTROL ALL
FORMS OF EPIDEMIC
And Labor Trouble, Too, Are All to
BE Ended by 1860, Says Canadian
Professor.
UNITED PRESS LnAkrn WIRE. l

Edmonton, Alta, March 11.-Profes-
sor Francis j. Lewis, Of the depart
ment Of biology at the University Of
Alberta, in Edmonton, said in the
course Of q public address here re-
Gently that, with the knowledge already
possessed by science it should be pos
sible to remove every form Of epidem-
ic from the known world within so
years. He added that this conclusion
also fits the economic world, says its
application to the strife between cap
ital and labor would remove all frlc-
tion before the close Of 1850.
Referring to the question of dis
ease, the speaker said there is none
known to nature, except amongst the
human race, which means either ex,
termination or readjustment. The for.
mer results in the case OF man; but
with nature It is otherwise, as It has
the ability to adjust itself to envi
ronment and conditions.
Delving into the subject Of organic
evidences Of evolution, he showed the
process which is at work In the phys
ical world, declaring that the struggle
for existence is confined solely to the
members Of their class. He laid spe.
cial stress upon the statement that the
different classes are not in competl.
tion with each other. The remedy, he
said, is the intelligent application Of
economic laws.
Professor Lewis was emphatic in his
opposition to the orthodox view that
man has existed on the earth only two
or three thousand years, and offered
proof in the form of civilization, dis.
covered in Java, that man, in very
primitive condition, existed during the
tertiary period, or many millions OF
years ago.
