NO POST OFFICE BUILDING
Senate Inserts a Provision In Ap-
preparation Bill Killing
Our Hopes.

Fallon's post Office building went
gimmering last Thursday when Sem
ator Kern, the Democratic nabob
from Indiana, who recently achieved
unwholesome notoriety when he de-
Tended the perpetrators of the dyna-
mite outrages, slipped an amend
ment in the pork barrel" bill pro-
viding that no federal building shall
be erected in any town, where the
postal receipts are less than $4,000
annually. Inasmuch as Fallon's an
nual receipts approximate $4,000
and Winnemucca' S less than $4,000
both these towns are affected by the
more or less drastic conception of
the Indiana senator.
The Kern amendment excluded
between GO and 20 towns in the
country from the scope of the public
building appropriation bill that
would otherwise have profited.
