FEDERAL AID FOR STATE ROADS

The resolution passed by the Reno
Commercial club, calling on our Con-
gressional delegation to endeavor to
obtain a grant of 100000 acres of
land to aid in improving the roads of
the state, should also be adopted by
every commercial body in the state.
In the first place, the lands within
Nevada should belong to Nevada, and
ii sold the proceeds should go to bene-
fit its whole people. No better use
could be made of this fund than to
apply it to improving our roads, for
without good highways the land itself
is of little value.
1t is very probable that our delega-
ton in Congress, backed up by the
public sentiment of the state, can Sc.
cure the grant. That the lands can be
disposed of at a good price goes with
out saying, and within a few years
Nevada viii have a public road system
that will undoubtedly prove to be its
greatest asset.

LEGISLATURE DOING GOOD WORK

In passing what is commonly known
a the Barnes divorce bill the state
legislature did a good piece of work.
As a law Of this character was favore /
by Governor eddie in his message, il
goes without saying that it will be
approved as soon as it reaches his
desk.
Nevada is becoming ambitious to in
crease its population and become a
great state. As a preliminary to this
end, it must amend its laws to con
form to the ideas of the average eiti-
zen of other states from which this
population must be drawn. The pas
sage of a law requiring a one years
residence to obtain citizenship is a
step in the right direction. Now let
the legislature amend the gambling
law to make it a business proposition,
instead of a joke, as at present, move
the state capital to Winnemucca, and
il will have accomplished more real
good for the state than is usually the
case at a single session.

this is what he told me:
When the table was bought, the first
thing he did was to remove the coat

on. This he did by scrubbing it with
hot water to which a good allowance
of washing powder had been added.
When the whole was off, the wood was
rinsed with clear, warm water, and
then rubbed over with a cloth dip
ped in vinegar and water (eGual guam
tities.) You'll probably think that aft
er such harsh treatment it was ruined,
but it wasn't.
After applying the vinegar and wa
ter, he rubbed it as dry as possible,
and when dry he started to polish it
with boiled linseed oil. One can buy

Taking a very little of the oil on a
soft cloth, he began to polish with

When he had gone all over the sur

buster till all trace of the oil was
removed.
Next day he repeated the process,
and this he did every day, barring Sun
day, for six months. adding just a
wee drop of ammonia to the oil during
the last month or two.

But hist! Another factor enter,
this exciting game Of hearts and
polo. A year ago, when Nancy was
visiting her sister, the Countess dc
la Greze, in France, she met the
most charming English officer, home
from India on leave. His name was
Lockett, and he certainly could talk
as well as play polo. He found the
American beauty keenly interested
IN his game and himself. He be-
came Interested In her, not only be-
cause she was beautiful and fasci-
mating, but because 1t was rumored
that she had vowed to marry only
a great polo player.
The fact that she was Charlie
steele's daughter, and sure to In
her1t several OF his millions, did not
count 50 very heavily with the Eng
l1shman. In fact, not once have
these millions affected either Mil
burn or Lockett. Millions and ro-
nance never go together.
But alas! In the midst of a very
interesting friendship that migha
have terminated happily, orders
came which sent the Indian officer
back to his company In India.
Miss Steele returned 30 America,
And now, you see, we are back

"Devvy" did not know that this an

tense moments throughout that game
that made her heart flutter loud
enough to be heard way over on
the field. At least she thought so.
Then came the last period when
the score stood one half goal In
favor Of England. 1t looked very
much as though Nancy would become
British subject by marriage. Then
In the very last ball or the last
period Lockett himself fouled Larry
Waterbury and the Britons were
penalized the half goal and the VIC
tory went to ''Devvy" and his team.
Lockett after all gave "Devvy" his
bride!
The announcement that Miss
Steele would marry "Deyvy" was
made the day after the cup was won.
And everybody said that 1t was just
Mhat they expected. But. Ynn see

But Miss Steele undoubtedly had
her suspicious, Captain Lockett
was a constant visitor at Sunny
ridge, the handsome home Of the
Steeles. He plainly showed his in
terest in the tall, handsome Nancy,
and whenever possible he rode and
drove with her. But
'tDevvy" also rode and drove And
"Devvy' also played as good polo as
ever. Rumor has 1t that there were
times when Miss Steele resented his
devotion to his game. She might
want him TO win the cup, but she
also wanted his attendance on her
TO be more faithful. This attitude
was not logical, but Miss Steele was
a woman.
There was no third person present
when Captain Lockett urged his
claim on Miss Steele, but, as In the
case Of Mr.. Milburn, 1t is possible to
piece out the conversation.
will you marry me? I adore
you," was undoubtedly the tenor of
the Captains conversation
And there is no doubt that Miss
Steele said: II Will marry the man
who wins the polo cup. II the Brit
ons win you will win me, but IL the
Americans win Mr.. Milburn will win
me-"
And now We come down to the
day the last game was played In the
tournament.
The American team had won the
first game, one Of the most spec
tacular and thrilling games ever
fought. The Britons were as de-
termined to win the second game
as the Americans.
But no one was more tense dur
ing the sixty minutes play than

But, you see, Nancy had never de-

she had a new object in view. Being
a wise young person she knew that
II she was to marry a polo player
she would have to make her choice
from among the men who would

And necessarily her choice was linn
tied, for only two Of the American

games SO interestedly, there could be-

strenuously in love with Miss Nancy,
and there were soon evidences that
she was losing her heart to him.
But she was a strong.minded young
charmer, and intended to test her
lover before promising to love, honor
and obey him.
Cf course there was no third or
fourth person present to hear what
MT. M1lburn said to Miss Steele or
what Miss Steele said to Mr. Mil

were undoubtedly some Of the words
used by the lover.
Yes, perhaps-that Is, will II

Miss Steele's answer.
Very we'll, then. "Devvy" knew
