WILL GILMORE
 BE CANDIDATE
SAYS HE HAS NOT DECIDED UP
 ON FUTURE COURSE.

T have not given the matter suffi cient consideration and am undecided as to what will do in the matter"
 These were the words by which W A. Gilmore. mayor. answered a ques- tion today as to whether he will be d candidate In the coming municipal election or not.
 He said further:
 "If the people want the majority of the present council to run again probably will be a candidate"
 The mayor declares, however. that under no consideration whatever would he be a candidate on a partisan ticket. That is a republican. demo- cratic or any party ticket. If he runs at all he will run on ''citzens' or peoples tickee.
 He says. by the way, that he did not express himself as favorable to com promise in the matter of the taxes on gold which had been assessed belong ing to the Pioneer Mining and Wild Goose Mining Companies. This ex- pression of compromise was made in the report of the councils hnan '= committee.

 ROME, Feb. lS.-For the first time In sixty years snow fell on this city this morning and the most unusual scenes were witnessed. Only a very small percentage of the people had ever seen snow before and the curios- ity excited was of the most remarka- ble kind.
 Everyone is talking about snow to- day and the newspapers are filling all kinds of space telling stories about the cause of snow and various other mat ters connected with it.
 The fall was only light one and what fell has almost totally disap- peared again.

The statement made in several Al askan papers that Whittlesey was a classmate of Woodrow Wilson in Princeton is not quite correct.
 Whittlesey was in the class of '76 and Wilson was in the class of '79.
 Whlttlesey Is said to be a candidate for governor of Alaska and the fact that he was classmate of the prest- dent-elect had led many to believe that his chances were good. However, he was in the university. although not in the same class. at the same time.

UNIVERSITY FOOT BALL GAMES
ARE THE CENTER OF INTEREST

line or backfield stars who outrank |
in football ability such stars are Hef- !,
flefinger, Moffat, Brookes, Poe, Ames,
Corwin, Lamar, McClung and Hare.
Much material for use in this an
nual controversy between the players
of today and yesteryear has been fur
nished by Parke Davis, who delights
to delye into ancient football records
and emerge with all sorts of interest
ing data which YIELDS together the
past and present in gridiron history.
One of his latest efforts in this di-
rection is the compiling of a list of
full-length field runs. It so happens
that a Yale player first achieved this
spectacular feat, and to add JOY to
the occasion it was against a Har-
ward eleven. r. w. Watson, captain
Of the Yale team Of 1880, was the
hero, and additional honor accrued
to the Eli leader in that he was the
first Yale player to score touch
down against Harvard The Crimson
had been previously defeated by Yale,
but always by field goals. and Wat
son was the pioneer of a long line
OF Yale players who have carried the
ball across the Harvard goal line.
Davis tells the tale as follows;
"a search through the accounts of
the games from 1874 to 1881 finds
only a single instance of a fulfilled
run from kickoff to touchdown. Har
ward was playing Yale at Boston, No
vember 20, 1880 A hard, grueline
battle was drawing to a close, with
out score by either eleven Just
as the last five minutes began, Wal
ter Camp kicked a goal from the fielt
for Yale. The teams quickly linet
up for a kickoff, and Cults of Har

g Yale. With the catch of the bal

HANDSOMELY FROM
SUGAR.

Prof. c. S Knight Of the college
of agriculture has received from Fal-
Ion the good news that the beet
patch in which he is Interested as a
member Of the Business Mems Cor
inthian club of Fallon is yielding five
tons more an acre than he had esti
mated. From present indications the
club will get its money back and net
40 per cent on the Investment
Prof. Knight was one of the organ
izers of the club when he was agri
cultural expert for the Nevada Sugar
company In the principal field Of
the clubs beets he had estimated a
yield of II tons to the acre, Others
we're downcast over the prospect,
fearing the yield would drop to about
u tons. When the poorest half of
the field was harvested this week it
was found to result in % tons to the
measured acre. One small field will
fall much below this, but the general
average for the club is expected to
be 20 tons to the acre.
In the entire valley the average is
Is to II tons an acre, with the sugar
content running from Is to Is pei
cent, about 8 per cent below last
year.
The Corinthian club paid for it

return of $12O. The ordinary farme

SENTIMENT AND THE "sPUCs. "

With the kindliest and most approving feelings
for the folks who would denaturize the business Of
Christmas giving by putting it on strictly Unitarian
basis, just word in behalf of foolish giving.
Sentiment is widely regarded as foolish; good
deal of sentiment and all sentmentaity, gets dan
gerously close to folly. No difference; there are
times for sentiment to have chance, and Christmas
is one of them.
The infant without certainty of regular food all
winter, of course, doesn't especially need a Teddy
bear Also he would be lots better off if the price of
the Teddy bear we're invested in socks and shoes
and sausages All very true but we are for the Teddy
bear and the foolishness of it, just the same.
The trouble is that the price of the bear, or of the
auto-crying doll whatever sort of folly it may be-
wouldn't, in fact, get to the youngster This
world ought to have dolls and also food for all its
babies, and no amount of Spug argument is going to
convince many folks who know anything about ba-
bies that poor babies should be denied dolls and
drums and celluoid ducks, and given sacks of flour
and pairs of shoes.
Giving away foolish things, indulgng little ex-
travagances doing the reckless and the unthriy, is
doubtless very reprehensbe but at this time of year
people do these things with better sentiment and
a finer purpose than at any other time.
There isn't much use saving up the cost Of per-
ambulatng DOLL and then spending it the week after
New Year on supper after show.
The Washington times., 1913-12-22
AS TO IMPORTING POTATOES.

The country needs foreign potatoes. There is
reasonable doubt about that The supply is short
here home and the seriousness of the shortage is
made the greater because other vegetables that
commonly be used substitutes are also scarce
Yet in the face of this shortage it is likely that
the Agricultural Department embargo against i'm
portations will be continued and extended.
The reason is that certain very dangerous potato
diseases liable to be brought into the country with
importations. Remembering the orchard pests that
have come with nursery stock, the English sparrow,
the hog cholera and other unwelcome importations,
small wonder the horticultural authorities fear t.
take chances on potato scab
1t is worth while to remember that all the pota-
toes that all the rest of the world could spare would
not much relieve needs The big American mar
ket must depend mainly on the American producer.
That is true about potatoes, and about everything
else 1t is true today and it will be uer in years to
come

THE HEN AGAIN ON THE JOB.

Some day it will again be possible to eat
half dozen soft boiled eggs for breakfast
if you want that many, and not feel as if
you were robbing the baby's bank. When that
day comes the now shrunken poultry show will
require several immense buildings to accommo-
date all the prize hens, because everybody in the
business will be raising chickens on scientific basis
Interest in chicken farming is growing rapidly all
over the country. Scientific egg production has long
sne passed the experimental stage As class farm
ers are fast mastering the technical side Of their bust
ness while the city transplanted to the farm is
bringing business methods to bear upon farming
problems
Tie recent drop in the wholesale price Of eggs
was brought about not by the talk of Government
investigation of hypothetical egg trust and storage
combine, but by "bddy herself. She took heart over
the spell of warm weather and got back the job.
The trick is to keep her there 1t is the hen more
than the storage warehouse that controls tie egg
market.

THE PARCEL POST TEST.

Now is the chance for the croakers who are always
anxious to argue that the Government can't run a
business right" They standing first on one foot,
then the other waiting to be told that the parcel
post has collapsed under the crush of Christmas
business.
Just very little of complaint and protest, justi-
fed or otherwise, will serve to give these people
their text
The fact that the privately managed express sys-
TENS always made mess of Christmas; the fact
that the business is in vastly better shape right
than corresponding date in previous years, when
there no parcel post will make no difference
whatever.
The public will be expected to forget all that
and give attentive to the howl against Govern
ment management that will 60 up if there is the
least possible justification for it.
So many folks think and talk about government
ownership of various things nowadays, that it is
necessary to manufacture as much argument as pos
sble on the other side

NEW YORK'S TAX REFORM.

Governor Gynn IS full of common sense For
wears the chief executives of New York have been
very partial to the indirect tax policy of fooling the
voters about the amount they pay for their State
government. Governor Glynn is forcefuly against it.
Getting rid Of the direct tax in New York was one
of the worst things that ever happened to the State
In the first place, conceal tax as you may it Il
always the public that pays it just tine same In the
second place, conceal the tax for while and the
public grows Indifferent about the State expendi-
tures until they become heavy, reckless and in
many instances utterly bootless that the taxes
can't be concealed any longer because the burden
becomes too crushing to be tucked out of sight
If the people of the State of New York want to
their right to spend it, but they ought to realize
what they're don,. They ought to realize it when
they're doing it-not after it is DONE not after the
chickens come home to roost, not after trouble
which once could have been avoided entirely, can
70 longer be possibly escaped.
That's the mischief of an indirect tax that for
while deceves the public into extravagant expend
lures of treasury funds.
If State supports its government by myster-
receipts from inheritance taxes, stock transfer
taxes, this that and the other tax of which the public
hardly knew the existence, the State will very likely
have wonderful roads, and rather vague idea wheth
they cost too much or not. 1t is not bad thing
TO force the executive and legislative authorities to
