Buhrer Thinks 1t Strange That

County Auditors Buhrer and Rob
ertson are getting closer together
They are coming desperately close to
the point where something must
break. Buhrer believed il would not
be long before the old war spirit man.

the job, and he planned diligently TO
avoid trouble, he insists. He saw 20
1t that Robertson should take the room
OF mis- predecessor, William S. Dever,
which would place Auditor Gutman
between Robertson and Buhrer. This
isolation worked all right for one
week. Then Robertson presented a
claim for his pay. He asked for sal
airy, including May /. Buhrer main
tanned that Robertson didn't take OIL
fee until May ?, and refused to honor
Robertson petition. This matter Is
still in dispute, and Buhrer says he

ordered to do so by the courts
More fuel was added to the flames,
Wednesday morning, when Buhrer
found that Robertson had approved a
number of bills for quarantined indig-
ent families. The bills were exorbit-

Robertson is undoing all the economic
precautions taken by himself and Gut
man before Robertson was reelected.
Robertson admits approving some
bills. but says he held one up, be-
cause it included an item for tooth
picks. He also explains that his APP
proving did no harm, as the bills have
to be passed by two of the three audi
tors before payment can be made.
The bill trouble excited Buhrer to
a white heat. but he almost exploded
when he was notified, Wednesday
that persons emplyed in the county
building are hereafter TO enjoy no
more telephone privileges. Hereto
fore all employees in the county build
ing were allowed telephone in their
homes at the rate OF $21 year
whereas the regular rate for the ser.
vice they enjoyed is $50. Thomas
Fraser, one of the employees, was told
OF the change, Wednesday. when he
negotiated with the telephone com
pany for removal of his phone to
another residence.
Buhrer thought II strange that the
change should come with the return
OF Robertson. Robertson, however. de

He says that the telephone company
called him up, few days ago, to ad

WILL RE-NvEST SCHOOL
MONEY AT HIGHER INTEREST

According to John Edwards Bray,
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion, plans are being made by the
state investment board to reinvest the
entire school funds of the state, in
order that an average of per cent
interest may be realized.
The total school funds is $2,000,000.
Of this amount about half a million
has already been re-invested. There
is more than a million in Massaehu-
setts bonds, bearing 3 to 3h per cent
interest, and some money in Idaho
bonds at the same rates, while some is
in United States bonds bearing still
lower rates of interest. 1t will take
some time to change the securities.
Through the re-investment of por-
tion of the state funds and the prom
is of increase in the assessed valua-
tions of the state, the schools next
year will enjoy more money than in
the past.
About all schools of the state are
now closed after a very successful
year, and ali are in good condition. No
great changes are contemplated in
courses of study next year, although
there will be a meeting of deputy
superintendents at Mr.. .5ray's office in
Carson in the middle of July to con-
slider courses of study in the lower
grades.

COACHING POLICE

Especial to the Silver state.)

SALT LAKE CITY, July a.

as guides and information bureaus for
the thousands of visitors who will be

Not, as the chief of police has point
ed out, that the patrolmen need much

lar duties to disseminate information
about the city whenever inquiry is
made of them. But the "eops' are
putting in special efforts to be in rare

EQUIP.
MENT FOR ESPE[

Eleven million dollars worth of roll
ing stock is to be purchased by the
newly formed New York corporation
for leasing to the Southern Pacific
company, according to papers filed
yesterday in the office OF the secretary
of state. At the end of 10 years the
of the Southern Pacific Equipment
Trust, Series A. Payment is to be
made at the rate of 81 100000 year,
$l,0oo,000 being paid down. The
papers are filed in accordance with the
terms of assembly bill Ga, which be-
came law during the last session of
the state legislature.
While nothing definite is known
locally as to the real meaning of the
papers filed or as to the equipment in
volved, the indications seem to be that
it is new engines and rolling stock to
be used during the rush of travel to
San Francisco during the Panama
Pacific exposition. Every engine and
car purchased and leased is numbered.
The numbers do not compare with
those on engines and cars on this part
of the Southern Pacific system. 1t is
not believed that the deal has any
thing to do with the unmerging of
the Southern Pacific and Union Pa
cifie, nor is it believed that the rolling
stock purchased is that already in use
on the Southern Pacific lines.
Bankers and financial leaders of
New York have apparently advanced
the millions through seven represen-
tatives who are named in the papers
as comprising the directors of the
Commercial Trust company of New
York The Commercial Trust company
is leasing the equipment to the South
ern Pacific Equipment Trust, Series
A. The papers call for the issuance of
certificates for the payment of the
loan of eleven millions.

HEAVY BOOM LOOKED
FOR TOMORROW MORNING

There will probably be very little
sleep in Winnemucca after daybreak
tomorrow morning, for it will be the
Fourth of July, the day that has been
looked forward to " the juvenile
population since Christmas. Very few
frecrackers exploding have been heard
during the past week, the kids evil
IDENTIFY saving up for grand demon
stration tomorrow morning.
There will be no regular celebra
tion in Winnemucca, but the day is
usually observed more as holiday
than any other of the year. The banks,
courthouse and practically all the
business houses will be closed, and the
day will be given over to recreation.
Several have already left for Salt
Lake and Ogden to spend the day, at
tracted perhaps by the N. E. A. con-
vention which will begin its annual
session in the frst-named city Satur-
day. Others will leave this evening
for Lovelock and Reno, but the great
majority of our citizens will spend
the holiday at home, or will join pie
mic and fishing parties for the nearby
hills and creeks.
