WINTER WINDS AND

The action and effect of the wind
on a skyscraper Is best illustrated
by comparison with that on box
model. built of flexible material
and set IN end. Such model, if
exposed to a strong wind, would
immedi itey tip over. This illus
trates the first elements in wind
bracing-the necessity for anchor
ing the bulldog against overturn-
ing. In buildings of large ground
area. the weight of the structure
is usually great enough tn provide
ali the anchorage needed. But in
very high bulldog of small ground
area special anchorage is an absolute
necessity. In The tower of the
Singer huilding in New York city
the columns are anchored by heavy
steel bLirs that extend downward
forty-fOur feet into the concrete
piers. The forty-;wo story Smith
building. now being built in Seattle,
will be anchored to the piers by

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
RATES REDUCED

The railroad Commission Of
Nevada in an opinion and order
written by Commissioner Shaugh-
messy has ordered that on, or before
February 25th, 1913. the Southern
Pacific company within Nevada
shall reduce the present local one
way passenger fares between all
points on its standard gauge main
and branch lines from 4 and ) cents
a mile to 3 cents a mile.
Chairman Bartine dissents from
the majority opinion on the ground
that. while entirely favorable To a
reduction to 5 cents mile on the
main line, he is opposed to any re.
duc;i1n being made in the fares IN
the branch lire for the reason that
if treated separately and n It includ-
ed as part of the entire system,
as contemplated by the majority
opinion, the business of the branch
line is not sufficient to warrant a
reduction in the fares thereon.
The majority opinion treats the
man and branch lines as a whole,
or in other words, as comprising
the Southern Pacific system with in
Nevada anb in connection Herewith
has made uniform reduction in
the local fares TO 3 cents mile
which it is shown will provide an
ample return IN the fair value of
the property, when earnings, ex-
penses and values are considered
as a whole.
Chairman Bartine does not con-
trUvert the proposition that con-
sidering the earnings, expenses and
values of the two lines (main and
branch as whole the return would
be reasonable to the company, but
bases his opinion mainly upoL the
ground that the two lines cannot
lawfully be treated as one for rate
making purposes.

shrieked Secretar Fisher. who was
admitted to the bar twenty-five
years ago.
1t was explained by the angry
senator that he did not intend to
insult the secretary, hut that he
really thought the head of a great
executive department should have
a little horse sense. it wnuld not
impair his usefulness: and might
prove wonderfully helpful in min
ing decisions.
In turn the secretary intimated
to the superheated senator that he
was weary of scolding and denuncia-
tion. He conveyed the impression
that the senator might find a
number of suitable climates, but
all of them were outside of his
off e. This broke up the party.
The senator backed through the
door. The secretary looked out of
the window until he saw the visitor
stalking down the street being de-
termincd to guard against flank
movements and rushes.

AN EARLY EASTER

Easter Sunday for 1913 will
happen on March %. a writer in
the St. Louis Post-DIspatch says: A.:
Easter bonnets will blossom
earlier this year than they have
since 1856 and earlier than they
will burst into bloom for another
century. The earliest date on
which Easter can fall is March %.
but that hasn't happened since 1918.
This year it will be March %, the
same date on which it fell in 1856
and lS45. The Rev. Father S.
Martin Brennan, a noted st. Louis
astronOmer.tol Post-Dispatch re-
porter that tables computed by
mathematicians have not been
carried far enough to show how
long it will he before Easter again
falls on so early date, but it will
not occur again until sometime
after the year 1000.
The rule for fixing the date of
Easter originally was that il was
the Sunday after the first full moon
following the spring equinox. The
equinox falls on March 81. Ac-
cording to ruling of the council
at Nice if March 81, is a Satur day
and there is full moon on that
day the following day will be
Easter. This year March 2l will
be Friday and there will he full
moon Saturday.

ma Canal and it's importance to the

The lecture was illustrated with
slides that gave those present an
idea of the tremendous work that

oceans by the great canal.
To say that those present enjoyed
every minute of the lecture is but

a morsel of gossip the other day.
Senator Ashurst of Arizona
thinks the mining laws are some

ton. One of these obnoxious
opinions was handed down and Mr..
Ashurst cleared his decks for action

partment. The senator told the
secretary that in his humble judg.
ment the decision rendered against
his constituent was the most unjust,
unsalted, unripe and swaybacked
distortion Of law and common sense
into which he had ever bumped.
The secretary informed the semi
tor that the opinion was twenty

USE THE KNIFE

Secretary Of State Brodigan has
our thanks for n copy Of his bien-
NAL report. In looking over the
comparative statement of receipts
and expenses of this office from
1867 to 1912. we find that in 1907
the receipts were $l24.70O.55 and
the expenses S9065.9O leaving a
surplus of $ll5,634 65. In 1912 the
recciptes were S34, III. 90 and the
expenses Sl1, ,554.9O leaving a SUI
plus of 23.2l7.00 The receipts in
1912 were $S9,92S.65 less than in
1907 while the expense of the office
increased $1,4S9.OO. That is it
cost more in 1912 - run this office
than it did in 1907 when over three
times the amount of work was
done.
We call these figures to the
attention Of the legislature and
suggest that the pruning knife be
energetically used. The taxpayers
should not be made to support USE
less deputies and tvpists orby what
ever name they are called.

THE BOUNTY LAW

DistrictAttorn y Carville has sent
the following letter to the justices of
the peace of this county.
Elko. Nevada, January 31st.. 1918.
To the several Justices of the
Peace of Elko County, State of
Nevada.
Gentlemen Herein | desire to
call your particular attention to
the Act proViding for the payment
for the of bounty Tor the destruc-
tion of certain noxious animals,
which you will find set forth in
Vol. of the Rev. Laws Sects. 7lS
to 727.
Section 7l9 prcscribes thar the
person claiming bounty must take
the "scalps with the ears connected
thereto" to some justice OF the
peace of the county in which the
animals were killed. This certainly
does not mean that the ears be
detached from the scalps. tied in
pairs, and thus taken to the justice.
Section 720 provides for the oath
to be taken by the claimant; this
oath must be administered in every
case: if the claimant is unwilling
to swear that he has himself killed
the animals and that he has killed
them in your county. then you
should issue no certificate.
Section 72I requires the justice
TO detach the ears from the scalps,
and tUdeIiver the scalps TO the
Sheriff. Bounty is not payable on
the ears, but on the scalps: nor
should the ears be given back to
the claimants, but should be de.
stroycd by the justice, thus pre-
venting the claiming of bounty else
were on the ears, as bounty is thus
payable in some other states.
1t has come TO the knowledge of
this office that the requirements of
this act have not been fully observ-
ed in some instances. and tnat Elko
County has paid out large sums for
bounties that possibly were not
payable by this county.
would suggest that you notify
all persons who have been deposit
ing scalps with you, that hereafter
every requirement of this law will
be enforced by the justices and by
the county officials, and that this
office will oppose the payment Of
any bounty wherever it comes to
my knowledge that the Law has been
evaded in the slightest particular.
Your duties in the matter are
clearly and definitely prescribed and
outlined by the statute; you should
carefully observe every require
ment, and issue your certificate
only where the scalps are delivered
to you in the condition required by
Law. an1 only after the claimant
has made oath before you specify
ing that each and every scalp sur.
rendered was taken from an animal
by him personally killed in the
County Of Elko. Your departure
from this law will constitute NAL.
feasance in office, and will seriously
handicap the other officers Of the

the county funds from falling into
