A citizen of Douglas, urging his fellow towns greater efforts secure the location of the county seat at that point. told them that d county would that town than another shelter. To be a county is a worthy ambition of any town and doubt a house is of material benefit to any community in which it may be located, but any great manufacturing industry lensthening the roll is of vastly benefit. This discussion has bearing upon county contest n Cochse. It is purely aca- demic. No argument against court house for Douglas is attempted. There already smelters there and they it the prosperous place it is If another should be built there. that would still be why Douglas should have d house too There is nothing incompatible between court house and a smelter. But if there and town were compelled take choice between them, the wise town would choose the shelter. Court houses not only less profitable they are much common There is every county in the United States.

THREATENS
NEVADA
WATERS
California Would Sue
This State

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 8. = Action
against the State Of Nevada III the
United States supreme court for the
protection of the waters OF Lake Ia
hoe is recommended in the report Of
the state water commission. The re-
port says:
"We believe that immediate action
should be taken by this state to pro-
tect its interest in the waters of Lake
Tahoe, and therefore recommend the
institution of a suit against the state
of Nevada in the supreme court of
the United States for the purpose
OF having the water of Lake Tahoe
and the Truckee river duly appor-
toned in accordance with the decI-
sion of the Kansas VS.. Colorado case.
"In addition to the bringing of this
suit we believe that complaint on be-
half of the state should also be filed
against the Truckee General Elec-
tic company to restrain it from stor-
ny 1foou "dlCI > VI tHt idnN' IN
Importance and necessity of institu-
ting this suit cannot be too strongly
emphasized in order that the rights
of the State of California may be
fully protected
The federal law relating to the dis
POSITION of water power sites is at
tackled as totally inadequate. The re-
pot states that "the power of revo-
cation without compensation has
caused great alarm in the eyes OF
capital, and rightfully," and adds:
"The confidence that the power to
revoke permits would not be abused
by the head of a department was dis
PEELED by the action of former ses-
retary of the interior in calling upon
the city of San Francisco (Which had
been granted a permit under the ac.
for its municipal supply in Hetch

nit should not be cancelled This ac-
ton was taken regardless of the fact
that the city of San Francisco had
complied with all the terms of the,
permit"

The Divorce Bill Passes
The Lower House
One Year Residence is Required.
Vote Stood 80 to ID. Few
Speeches on the Subject

The divorce bill was most certain
ly fried out this morning In the
assembly. The friends of the meas
ure extending the time to one year
were on hand in goodly numbers and
they went home satisfied as far as
the assembly is concerned.
Practically nothing else was done
in the lower house The journal was
read and the business Of the divorce
measure came up right off the bat,
There was less speechmahing than
figured on The flowery ones were
not there with the talk, and the little
that was said was to the point.
The first battle came in the pres
entation of petitions The petition
from the Reno business men asking
for the six months bill never got a
chance to be read nor did the others
that came along. The petitions were
absolutely Of no avail. as the vote
showed that every man voted accord
ing to conviction
The first test came when Mr..
Haight of White Pine offered an
amendment postponing the date of
the enactment until December 81,
1914. 1t was talked over and urged
as a good proviso as it would re-
lieye the Reno business man OF a lot

REDUCES
FREIGHT
CHARGES
N. C.. O. Offers New
Schedule

The Nevada California Oregon rail
road voluntarily has made reduc-
ton in class rates between all points
on its lines and adjacent territory.
The reduction amounts to from Is
to IS per cent of existing rates and
goes into effect March 20
The reduced rates are similar in
most respects, to those asked for by
the Reno Commercial club. ana
which the interstate commerce COM
mission refused to put into force
The railroad believes that the time
is ripe for a general reduction of
freight rates, and voluntarily has
taken the step which gives Reno an
opportunity to compete with Sacra-
mento and Portland in supplying the
territory tapped by the MOO.
The lowered rates will be of enor-
nous aid to wholesale and jobbers
in Reno. The rich Itakeview terri
tory, which is, tributary to this city,
will be opened to local business mer-
aud other territories will become the
