A BACHELOR GIRLS REFLECTIONS


lfa man could understand women life would
be robbed of most Of its excitement. At pres
ent three-quarters Of the average mans exist
ence is spent in wondering what woman is
going to DO next.
1t is sometimes good thing for the reputa-
tion Of femininity that a woman doesn't think
out loud while she is waiting for her husband
to find the hooks and eyes on the back Of her
dress:
One Of the things that always puzzles a
woman is why it is that the later her husband
works at the office" nights the less money he
seems to have next morning.
Alss, it is no use trying to get a woman Ia
take an interest in little thing like mental
science, socialism or the improvement of the
race until she has had al least one husbandl
When a husband comes home with bunch
Of flowers or a box of candy, somehow his wife
always reserves her enthusiasm until she dis.
covers whether he is apologizing for something
he has done or preparing the way for some
thing he is going to do.
Love-making is the only occupation in
which man never becomes so utterly dis
couraged that he hasn't any heart to begin
again.
Some men regard promise as lightly and
carelessly as they would wedding vow.

Whisky Case Under Fire

Washington. d. O.. May 26.-Colonel
w. H. Osborne. Commissioner of Inter.
nal Revenue, has appealed to the De-
partment of Justice for assistance. He
has been asked to pass upon a question
"Does whisky soaked up by barrel and
afterward squeezed out, have to pay the
tax of 81 10 per gallon ?"
Manufacturers have found that from
one to two gallons can be forced from
an empty wooden barrel which has con.
tanned 90 gallons. More than 81, ,000, ,00O
in revenue is involved.
The point in question is whether the
Government collected the tax previous
to the whisky having soaked in, and in
that event, would not subsequent col
lection be double taxation.

NORTHERN AUTO ROUTE

Dunphy Estate Will Donate a
Right of Way and Assist in
Building Road

+. 8. Gedney, president of the De.

House, in Eureka County, Saturday,
and there he met w. o. Hancock, presi.
dent Of the Lander County Chamb OF
Commerce; Mr.. Lemaire. Mr.. Smith,
one of the Com mi ssioners of Lander
County. aud another gentleman from
Battle Mountain, says the Elko Free
Press.
These gentlemen came from Battle
Mountain along the road south of the
river to point just opposite the White
House.
After hearty luncheon at the White
House as guests of Captain and Mrs.
Mayer, they viewed the country with
the idea of locating q road from that
point to Battle Mountain.
There are two possible roads, one
leading north from the White House
around the boulder field, across boulder
creek and Rock creek, both Of which
would have TO be bridged and ten miles
Of road constructed. Following this
road il would be distance of 35 miles
to Battle Mountain, with a very bad.
rocky stretch of about five miles near
Shoshone point.
The other road would lead directly
west from the White House across the
Dunphy field. over the Humboldt river
and connect with the present road lead.
ing from Battle Mountain to Beowawe.
This road is in fairly good condition,
bat will need some repairs. By this
road the distance is Is miles and is all
upon high ground. whereas the other
road is across an alkali fiat. The only
obstacle is the necessity OF building
bridge across the Humboldt river. which
is about 60 feet wide.
Rock creek would require a bridge
of about the same length. bat. of course,
is not 30 deep. On the other hand.
Rock creek Is ten miles from the rail-
road aud the umboldt only ). few feet.

one of the owners of the Dunphy estate,
all agreed that the road across the Hum
boldt river. thence south to the Southern
Pacific railroad to Battle Mountain, wa
far preferable to the other road and
could be put in repair and maintained
at far less cost than the other road. II
was accordingly adopted as the auto
road from the White House to Battle
Mountain.
Mr.. Gedney reports the road in very
good condition from here to the White
House, with the exception Of small
piece Of road mp Maggie creek canyon,
and this piece will be repaired by George

the use of its grader for this purpose.

MEXICO MUST SETTLE
CLAIMS OF AMERICANS
AMERICAN JUDGES
MEET AT MONTREAL
Aim of Conference Is to Elimi-
nate Delay and Reduce Ex-
penditures of Litigation.

Montreal, August 30.-The first inter-
state conference of judges since Amer
lea became n nation met here tonight
TO plan for uniformity OF judicial pro-
ccedure. The conference was prelimi-
nary to the annual meeting of the
American Bar Association, which opens
here Monday. Every State was repre-
sented, most of them by the presiding
judges of their courts of last resort
There were present also judges repre-
senting the nine Federal Circuit Courts
of Appeals and the Federal courts OF
Hawaii. Porto Rico and the Court OF
Appeals of the District of Columbia.
The aim OF the conference Is to
eliminate the delay and reduce the ex-
penditures of litigation. The judges
wish to have the courts released from
some of the statutes that now bind
them and left free to make their own
rules. 1t was suggested that the Su-
preme Court have superintendence
over the rules of pleading and prac-
tice In all Federal and State courts and
gradually bring about uniformity In
court procedure.
Thomas w. Shelton, of Virginia.
chairman of the commission on uniform
Judicial procedure of the bar associa-
tion, presided. In his address, Mr..
Shelton predicted that the gathering
would mean to interstate judicial re-
lations what the Mount Vernon confer
ence of 1885 between Virginia and
Maryland meant to interstate COM
merce relations.
The practical men OF commerce, said
Mr. Shelton. are demanding the injec-
tion of practical common sense in the
machinery of the courts of Congress.
and tho Legislatures are being called
upon to give the courts tho necessary
power. He advocated IA fixed system
OF interstate judicial relations" declar-
ing that II ought to be quite as pos
sible. and even less difficult, than the
present plan OF interstate commerce
relations.
Instead of thousands of merchants.
manufacturers and bankers and hun
dreds OF railroads and other human
endeavors creating difficult complica-
tions To solve. there would be forty
eight supreme appellate courts and
nine Federal Circuit Courts OF Appeals
To agree upon any. given principle.

slipping by the judges over the back
