quest wss granted. District At
torney Carville then asked that the
firm of Curlcr & Gedney be enter
ed as counsel to assist the prosecu-
ton. This request was objected to
by Mr.. Dysart who wanted to
know whether Mr.. Gedney went to
District Attorney Carville and ask
ed to assist the prosecution Of the
case or whether the district attor-
ney made the offer. Mr.. Carville
answered that he had not heen sp-
preached by either member OF the
firm about being employed as as
sistaDt counsel. Mr.. Gedney was
asked the same question and de-
clined to answer. Mr.. Dysart also
wanted to know if the associate
counsel were to be paid out of the
county funds or by private parties
and was informed that they would
be paid by private parties and
would receive nothing from the
county.
During the tendency of this
matter the jurors were excused un-
til 1880 this afternoon and court
adjourned until that time leaving
the question unsettled.
At the afternoon session the en-
ployment of special counsel was
further considered and the court
took the matter under a%dvisement
until &c o'clock tomorrow forenoon
and adjourned until that hour.

Waste OF NEVADA MONEY

The taxpayers of Nevada are fac
ing the expenditure of Sl40, 900 of
their money for the two California
expositions of 1915.
The size of this amount is such
as to arouse proper criticism not
only tor itself but in view of the
Inadequate return to be anticipat-
ed. Viewed from any light il is too
mucH. No State, however well
provided with money can afford
to pay more for anything than it is
worth, but we see this State
which cannot spare $50, 900 for
highways -appropriating to Cali
fornia an amount which. If given
In the same ratio by other States
would turn a veIitable flood of
nancy rolling toward the Pacific.
Nevada has a population Of ap-
proximatcly 90, 600: New York ap-
proximatc!y 5000. 900. If New
York appropriated to the fairs on
the same scale as Nevada she would
live 100 times S14O, 900, or S14,-
OO0, 900 The excessive proportion
is only seen in the comparison.
Again, for this exposition Neva-
ia Taxpayers arc charged six cents
on tire 500 for two years, which
is twice the amount levied per an
mum for the general school fund
Of the State. In. 1916 we arc called
upon to expcnd in California twice
as much as we cxpcnd in the gen.
cral school fund for the education
IN any one year.
In view Of this condition, public
opposition has been properly arous-
cd ngainst such n large %cxpcndi-
urc add !hc energy of the press,
the State officials and the taxpay-
crs should be directed TO devising
remedy.
l. seems the concensus uf opinion
that such a sum as this should not
ba expended if il can be avoided.
Such an expenditure is not in
ovitable. A way out lies in the dis
erection of the hoard Of directors
of the expositioEs. Present reli-
anco must be placed on them, but
il they fail relief must be sought
AZ the special session of the legis-
lntuge to be called next year.

ury for s16,556.S9 for distribution
to the several counties of the State
representing the proportion of the
receipts during the fiscal year end

THE COUNTY PRINTING

Yesterday we were asked to do
ONE printing for the county and
refused to do it on the ground
that the printing was covered by
the contract awarded by the COM
missioner. In the conversation,
we we're informed that the Elko
Offices had been doing such work
and the commissioners had paid
the bills.
As q taxpayer we protest against
this way of doing business. The
county printer is doubtless ready
to do all the work he contracted to
do and the commissioners have no
right to allow bills for printing
covered by his contract. II IL con-

THE EDITOR ASSAULTED

While at work at our desk this
morning we were startled to see
Contractor Shraven enter the office
with a pistol in his hand. With
out waiting for the usual salutation
he presented the weapon saying
that he had come after US. Seeing
that he meant business we grabbed
the handy shears and made for
him, but seeing that the dangerous
looking weapon vas nothing but a
toy pistol that he swiped from one
of Billy Mayors boys and that in
stead of blood in bis eyes there
was a merry twinkle, we dropped
the shears and listened to his
plant which was that we join OFF,
Ger Cisco, Editor Steninger and
himself and take something at the
Club saloon.
1t is needless to say that we
went. All took cigars and the
trouble ended in smoke. The cause
of Mr. Shraven's invasion of the
Office was the little squib we pub
lished yesterday about our dis
charge from the f~oremanship of
the Mayer Hotel building. We
were put back on the job this
morning but can't say how long it
will be before we are fired again.

The FORTY-THOUSANDTH
LOCOMOTIVE

That a firm of builders should
have recently completed its forty
thousandth locomotive bears testi-
mony to the magnitude of the To-
comotiee building industry o this
country. TIE Baldwin locomotive
company, who have accomplished
this feat, built their first iocomo-
tive IN 1882. The one-thousandth
was turned out from the works in
1861; and in 1880 the fve-thous-
andth locomotive appeared. No.
10000 was built in 1889 and No.
10000 in 1902. It took only five
years for the company to build its
next 10000 locomotives, and the
present year sees the completion Of
the forty-thousandth, a fast pass
enger Pacific type. This locomo.
tive has cylinders &c inches in dia-
meter by 26 inches stroke. S0lnch
driving wheels. 4.525 square feet
Of heating surface, weighs 1S9, 500
pounds end has a tractive force
Of $4,000 pounds. 1t was built for

pay double for it work.
The fault lies with the county
