Wilson Favors Treaty.
The committee refused to act upon
the Nicaraguan treaty negotiated by
the Taft administration but has been
strongly urged by the Wilson admin

in the hope than plans can then be
made for the refunding of its fiscal
system. through the control of Gus
toms receipts by the United States
or in some other manner.
The Nicaraguan canal route would
come permanently under the control
of the United States through the pro-
rcsed treaty. While that route was
decided against and the Panama
route chosen for the building of the
American canal, officials favor the
permanent acquisition of the discard

THE CADILLAC CAR HAS
NEW AGENCY IN RENO.

The Western Auto Supply COM
pany of Reno has taken the agency
for Nevada for the 1914 Cadillac car
and intends to make an active CAM
paign of distribution throughout the
state of these standard machines.
The Cadillac has an enyiable rep
utation among lovers of automobiles.
There is constantly increasing de-
mand in the East, as is attested by
the fact that the New York allot-
ment made for years sales was ex-
hausted within less than a month.
A carload of the latest Cadillac
models will be exhibited in Reno, the
agents believing that to see Cadillac
causes wish to have one, while to
ride in one makes one wish to keep
1t.
Attention is called to the new ad
in this issue of the Cadillac 1914 on
page 4. Anyone interested may
write The Western Auto Supply Co.,
Reno, New, for any information de-
sired.

GEO. WINGFIELD PASSES 37TH
BIRTHDAY.

George Wingfeld, who at the age
of g. is rated one of the richest men
in the west, was born in Fort Smith,
Ark, Aug. 16, 1876. Much of his
early life was spent in Oregon on
bis fathers ranch. After leaving his
home he came to Nevada as a cow
puneher and prospeetor. He was
thus employed when Tonopah first ac
qured prominence as mining camp
in 1903. When Mr.. Wingfield first
arrived in Tonopah his total wealth
amounted TO s12. He borrowed a
few hundred dollars from Senator
Nixon and put 1t into mining claim.
In a short time he acquired control
of the Goldfeld Consolidated. Five
years later Mr.. Wingfield was rated
a millionaire and today he is esti-
mated to be worth more than s25,-
100000. When Senator Nixon, who
was his friend and business associ-
ate died several years ago, Mr.. Wing
field was offered the senatorship, but
declined.

PROGRESS At CAMP LARON1AN
Gravel Moving Plant Comes up
To Expectations of The
Engineers.

Friday was record day at Lahon-
tan where approximately 1862 cubic
yards of gravel were handled and
made a part of the embankment. The
gravel placing plant was originally
designed for 1000 cubic yards daily
capacity and ii promises TO be hitting
up this rate regularly within a short
time. The gravel part of the en-
Dankment is now three feet or there
abouts higher than the dirt upstream
portion. 1t is 80 feet above the
river bed and only 30 feet below
where the spillway will be installed,
the objective of which will be the
diversion of the unstored flood wat
ers.
both of the bottom gates and out
let chambers have been installed and
they will soon be ready to control
the river flow. All in all, the work
at Lahontan is progressing highly
satisfactorily under the guidance of
the government dam authorities, and
1t certainly seems as though the pro-
gram will not only be fulfilled but
exceeded and that more than a suffi-
cient amount of the 1914 Carson riv-
er run-off will be stored for project
uses

+ These are days of discontinue for
part of the local Mexican popula-
ton, attracted hither by the lure of
the beet field work. About 20 have
been fioated out of town by the au-
thorities and the work continues.
Since the shooting occurrence where
In Marshal A. E. Volkerts was the
victim, the Mexicans who have shown
disposition to be unruly have been
given an admonition to beat it, which
has been done in most cases with
alacrity.
Among the Mexieans fioated out of
town by the authorities are, 1t is be-
lieved, the parties responsible for
the burglary of a house on Saltwater
avenue, occupied by Mrs. Sweet and
her daughter Ernstein, the latter of
the high school faculty, who are now
on the coast. Obbie Harrell discov-
cred Sunday that the house had been
entered and within shack in the
eastern part of town, formerly occu-
pied by Mexicans who have been
fioated, was found silyerware identi-

believed to be responsible for the
housebreaking.

the price is human life. Fallon has
had sleeping ordinance for nearly
year, making mandatory the con-
Meeting of homes with the city,s

ing why this local law has been al
lowed TO slumber undisturbed when
the eommunity's health conditions
have been seriously menaced there
by.
Just how this policy can be recon-
eiled with what is fair and right is
not apparent at either first or second
sight. Just why property owners
who have gone TO considerable ex-
pense IN complying with the ordin-
anee, should find the health and com
fort of themselves and their families
menaced by the pestilential, foul
smelling and unsightly toilets which
abound Is not plain.
This towns sewerage system and
disposal plant cost a snug sum of
money. II has specific pur1 zee

WATER RELEASED FROM DON
NER LAKE THURSDAY.

The first Donner lake water, Sc
cured under a special arrangement
with United States Senator Francis
G. Newlands and associates, was re-
leased Thursday evening at the rate
of 40 second feet and it is now be-
ing used for project purposes. II is
supposed that one-half of this
amount is to go to this project and
one-half to the Reno farmers, but
it is not likely, or would it avail
much otherwise, that any will reach
this project except what is included
within the Saturday and Sunday
runs of water which from this time
forward will be regular weekly dis
pensations at the hands of the True
kee valley irrigationists. These runs
vary sonnet, the big flow continuing
for about 36 hours, while the runs
are of as hours duration and so far
they have sufiieed to meet most pro-
ject needs, though they have not
been altogether sufficient. The de-
mand has been fairly well met,
but from this time forward there
must be a diminution of the weekly
amounts until the irrigation season
is over.
But the fact remains that the
goodness of hearts of the Reno folks
has been responsible for the saving
of large and valuable crop to this
valley. the residents of which are

In order to obtain ranch hands in

tain the farmer almost has to pro-
vide a coat of mail guaranteed to be
entirely mosquito-proof. Up at Ar
genta they have been forced to leave

hands found life too burdensome and
moved to the mountain districts. A
corps of imported hands stayed one
day and departed. Perhaps after a
few such experiences the farmers
will take some measures to eliminate
the pests.-Star.
