During the past few weeks the
fight to improve the condition OF Car
son City has resulted i'll several state
appropriations that are to be used to
the advantage OF this city and sec
ton. Probably the most important
bill passed in many years is relation
to Carson City was the improvements
TO the State Capitol Building. For
the past ten years the volume OF bus
mess has been increasing annually.
The work of the various commissions
has manifolded. 1t has been case
OF being showed off into outside room,
where the state pays the rent and the
man transacting business has to take
a directory to round up his business.
1t was such argument that has made
the appropriation possible and the
Capitol is to be improved to meet the
conditions and house its officers
Tn this connection the people
should stand in \ new confidence
has been given the property holders
and they in turn must assist i'll every
way. Many civic improvements
could be carried out and put into
practice This city can stand such
improvements and with the work that
the state has assumed the city and
the citizens should go just as far IN
doubtedly many Of the members OF
the two houses will return here two
years from now They should find
better condition IN both the business
world and also in the appearance of
the city.

One Political Battle
That Was q Failure

Waterloo, he had not been refreshed
by sleep and his marshals were unor-
ganized The result was that the
trick was lost last night George for
the first time in the session became
piqued and said few things that he
did not mean. and before the gray had
died from the dawn he was using
plans of attack for two years ahead
1t was the only trick that did not fall
when he asked for it and the battle
but doing a heap of deft thinking

INVENTION
HAS BEEN
PATENTED
New Propeller That
Will be Tried Out

| A company known as the American
HydroAero Propeller Company has
| been incorporated under the laws of
Nevada with its principal place of
business in the Imelli building, Gard
nervile.
| This company has been organized
to exploit an entirely new principal
of propelling a water craft. This rad
ical method does entirely away with
the use of a propeller and is so dif-
ferent from the present adopted meth
DDS of present transmission that to
the lay mind the invention becomes
| mystifying puzzle.
The inventor of this remarkable
device. c. O. Demaurez. has spent
years of toll perfecting this propeller
| and fighting for protection through
( the United States patent Office. He
| finally succeeded in getting that Of
flee to protect his mention.
Since the organization OF the COM
pany here, the inevntor has been at
work in Carson building a machine
that will be installed in a 30-foot
boat When completed the boat will
| be taken to Washoe Lake and given
a trial It will take about two months
| before things will be ready for trial.
Should the invention do all that is
claimed for it the system will revol
utionize the method of operating
ships, because far less power will be
required and the speed will be twice
as great as can possibly be obtained
now The trial to be made in Wash
oe Lake will prove or disprove the
claims of the inventor-Record-

During the late session. which is
extremely fresh in the minds of those
who have recovered from the dav and
night session. George Cole. the angel
of the Assembly. and the program
builder, has won many a trick. He
had the happy faculty of knowing just
what to do at the right moment and
did it. He also had the nerve to say
things right out in school, and his
benevolent smile and candid talk,
won the game. HI centered an eagle
but firmly and proceeded TO mould it
into the form that suited him best
When the matter finally came to is
sue it was found that George had full
control of the situation and he landed
with his remodeled subject at the
center of the ring and gathered in
his prize
His first move was to abolish Char
lev Norcross 1t took four rounds
but he finally secured ha'f-Nelson
on the publicity man and he hit the
mat
George then concluded to take a
fall out of the big tax dodgers. He
got behind the Tax Commission bill.
and behold he came out with so many
scalp locks that his belt could hardly
hold them.
He quietly but firmly assisted the
railroad hovs III handing fancy pack
ages to the railroads and the corpora
tions 1t was all so quietly and
neatly done that the victims acted as
if hypnotized and submitted with a
graceful smile 1t was truly demo-
cratic and everv man admits that the
same cherub-faced and keen-eyed
gentleman from Manhattan was land
ing with the goods.
There was but one bet that slipped.
He tackled the State Poolice. but he
forgot to buckle on his armor and en-
tered the fight with his lieutenants
