PLANS To MAKE REFORMS
IN PRISON ADMINISTRATION

mendations were made to Attorney
General for a Communication of SEN
tence, or an equality" of sentence. A
recommendation to the President was
made to this effect and was granted.
The result was that the youthful often
der was liberated exactly at the time
that his cell mate obtained his free
dom. He realized, Ladow stated, that
there was an evident interest in his
case by the government and when he
left the penitentiary under the parole
of the United States Government, he
vowed never to turn crooked again."
The young man now is prosperous
business man in Minnesota.
Numbers of other cases are cited by
the Government experts in support
of their policy of liberal treatment for
prisoners. To further the scheme the
department of Justice obtained favor
able action from the last congress to
extend the patrol system to prisoners
sentenced for life. AS the matter 10 re-
garded by the new attorney general
as one of the most important ques-
lions affecting the welfare of the peo-
pie of the country, it is certain he will
ask Congress for additional reforma-
tory legislation.

TRAGIC AND COMIC
SCENES At DAYTON
Palladium Reporter Tells OF
Incidents of the Rescue
Work There.

A representative Of the Palladium
assisted in the relief work at Dayton
Thursday.
The militia first kept all newspaper
men as we'll as others not directly con-
nected with the relief work from going
to the east side of the river. l finally
got one OF the physicians whom
knew personally, who expected me to
assist him. He left in q canoe but 1
was unable to accompany him because
of the condition Of the boat.
/ "One of the oarsmen who became ex-
haustsd after rowing adj day was tax
en- from boat and l took his place,
rowing some rescuers. The first place
we went was where children were
marooned on the third stories. One en-
tire family which took from the third
floor of house had bottles tied
around their necks with their names
on cards enclosed. All were glad to get
away, but one small child refused to
leave the house until we agreed to
take her dog.
IT saw one family in the direct path
of the relief boats hold up several
boats and obtain provisions each
time. They secured food enough to
last nearly a month and continued to
plead for more. until one of the boat
crews reported what was being done.
"A man rowing boat on the same
route that 1 was on was hailed by a
man who was high above the water
and perfectly safe. He asked to be
taken to the bridge where he could
get to the other side of the river. The
boatman told him there were women
and children who would have to be
taken first. The man was persistent

Immediately taken into the boat and

the river giving out water in half gal

Il took baby six months old from
the boat this morning which appear
ed to be dying. A severe rash had
completely covered it's face and it
gasped for breath. A physician said
it was from stomach disorder due to
lack of proper food.
"One of the men who had been res
cued by our boat said the flood was the
outcome of the opening of the theaters
on Sunday, which started this week.
Il saw a man in a demented state of
mind embrace a woman and claim her
for his wife. He had lost his wife and
three children in the flood"

cases of boiled eggs-each case con.
tanning about thirty dozen-have been
sent from Fountain City.
Bartel's Statement.
Ben C. Bertel who made a trip to
Dayton to take supplies sent over by
the Masonic Lodge of Richmond says
that there is no way to estimate the
number of dead in Dayton.
In going into Dayton when they
reached the Pennsylvania railroad
crossing they found houses gravel and
debris piled some places to a depth OF
100 feet. Their oars attempted to
reach the st. Elizabeth's hospital
where 600 victims were housed, but it
was necessary to turn back and pro.
vide other means Of delivery.
Mr.. Barter said that the most i'm
pressive thing that happened was
when a colored woman ran out to their
cars and pleaded for loaf of broad
saying that they had not had anything
to eat for two days. Soon there was
a crowd around the cars and what
little provisions they carried in the
way of food was distributed among
the crowd.
From CenterviiIe.
A wagon load of clothing was sent
to Richmond last evening from Cen
terville and another wagon load of
food was sent here this morning from
that place. The rural people near that
town are bringing foodstuffs and cloth
ing to Centerville at all hours of the
day and night and it is being brought
here and shipped to Dayton "

Appeal.
The new parties. it is understood
have made the initial payment and
will immediately take charge of the

The sale of this property in
Brunswick canyon means a lot to
this section of the state. The prop
erty has been pretty well developed
by the former owners, Logan and
Y~erington. Bob Logan sold III some
years ago and Jim Yerington and as
sociates carried on extensive develop

large bodies of ore. Several levels
were u off and the ore all shows a
shipping grade of copper.
1t is the intention of the new peo-
pie to place more efficient equipment
on the ground, to ship to the Thomp-
son smelter and carry out plans to
make a big mining property of the

THREE COUNTIES WISH
TO NEGOTIATE LOANS

The state board Of revenue, com
posed of the governor, attorney gen
eral and state comptroller, has re-
ceived applications from three eoun-
ties to make loans. White Pine
county asks permission to make a
loan of $4,000, the money being
necessary. it is stated. because of the
recent strike and for other reasons.
Elko county wishes to borrow 500
600 to cover shortages occasioned by
the recent Primeaux arson trial and
for other Lyon county, the
third applicant, wants $4,000, this
sum being needed for the new court
house and other expenses.
The counties make these loans
from banks and other sources but
under the law it is necessary for
them to obtain permission to do so
from the state board of revenue In
the case of Elko and White Pine
counties the board has granted the
desired permission. The case of
Lyon county has not been decided.

George Wingheld has again proven
himself to be a factor in putting
mining camp litigation TO an end,

value at a most reasonable figure.
The property in question is in

The settlement with Olson was
amicably made by taking up his deed

of $1,000. Mr.. Schick received ST.

A peculiar coincidence in regard
To the death is that Smith was a
partner of O. A. Pemberton, who died
Sunday at Los Gatos sanitarium from

LIFE IN MYSTERIOUS WAY

o. d. Smith, a young saloon keep

day afternoon at the mill city, pre-

existence. His l~ifeless body was
found stretched out upon the bed in
his cabin by friends who had been

several days, owing to his p%erculiar
actions.
Smith was the proprietor of the
Homestead saloon, and for some days
had been acting in a peculiar man

left his saloon and walked over to
the Belmont mill. He remained in
the plant but a short time and then
returned to the saloon. After a brief
stay there he again left and went to
his home. A half hour after friends

BEET FACTORY TO CONTINUE.

The sugar beet factory at Fallon Is
to remain another year at least. The
committee from Fallon which attend
ed the directors meeting at Bay City,
Mich, t~elegraphed the good news
that the factory would continue TO
operate in Nevada, says the Carson
City News.
This past fall when it was found
that an insufficient amount of beets
we're grown, the directors decided to
move the plant to the east where
contracts were guaranteed. The Fa'-
on farmers then became busy and
sent a delegation east to explain the
conditions in this section and assure
the promoters that better results
would follow another year and con-

lay. Il means the employment of
quite a number of men and a general
awakening in the copper district east
of this city.
As the Upper men go over this ter
ritory they all agree that it is similar
in many respects 10 Mason Valley.
There has never been IN great
depth attained in mining across IN
river. Recently drilling along the
belt at the Walker property by the
Gunn-Thompson rig, has shown a
large deposit of high grade copper
with other values associated. The
new outfit coming on the north end
of the belt should result in a general
REVEAL of copper mining near this
city. The Brunswick district has at
tracted attention for many years, but
it has been a case of poor men and
this has resulted only in surface
showing. The two real mining fac
lions together with the United Mines
company operating, surely will result
in a lot of activity and production
within a very few miles of Carson.
Mckenzie and Potter have spent the
past three weeks over the property
after a thorough sampling. Claim
holders east of Carson can e some
future for their labor and trouble.
