cher engineer of the commission.
were in Alpine county this week go-
Ing over the route OF a proposed
new artery OF the highway sysetm of
that state which Is to run from the
coast across the state in as direct a
line as possible. Under the law OF
the $lS.oo0.0 900 bond issue for the
construction of highways in that
state, two main arterys leading
lengthwise of the state is prescribed.
However, the law also permits of

demonstrated that the travel across
the state is as great as over the route
from north TO south and the new road

ing public. While the route of old
established roads will be followed to
some extent, large portion of the
proposed highway traverses new
territory not nov touched by roads.

GIRLS. HERE is THE WAY
TO BE BEAUTIFUL

One of the most beautiful young
ladies of a neighboring state says
that she steams and sweats her face
mothers wash tub, and that wringing
the clothes makes her arms plump,
and hanging out the clothes has en-
eral inches, while the exercise OF
STOPPING and lifting the clothes
makes her waist smaller. The hur-
rying from stove to the table helping
mother get the meals gives her poise
and dignity so much admired in

Would Cooperate
With Dairymen

V. +. Scott of the University OF
Nevada, accompanied by d. II.
Worthington, in the service of the
L. 5. Government under the Smith
Lever bill, spent the greater part OF
the week in Carson Valley interview
ing dairymen with the view of secur-
ing the services of an expert dairy
men to cooperate with the farmers
in increasing the efficiency of their
dairy herds and giving scientific
aid in many other ways.
Under the system every dairy COW
would be subject TO individual tests.
and the farmer would be able to
ascertain those of his dairy that were
not producing the amount of butter
fat that is expected of an average
COW. Assistance would also be given
in building up the strains of dairy
cows with the ultimate result that
withing short time the same number
of COWS that are now being cared for
would bring far greater returns.
Under the Smith-Lever bill an ap-
preparation for this work is made,
Nevada's share being something like
$4,000. To carry on this work il will
be possible for the farmers of Carson
Valley to receive about $1,000 a year
which would pay the salary of a man
as proposed by the gentlemen here
this week, and the only expense that
would fall upon the farmers would
be the living expences of the expert
while here.
II Is understood that many of the
dairymen of this Valley look with
favor upon the proposition.

Smoking is Lost

CHICAGO, Feb. Protests made
by women of this city against men
smoking in the vicinity of the voting
booths at the primary election to be
held Tuesday have been overruled
by the city authorities, and smoking
will be permitted.
The campaign against the use OF
tobacco in the vicinity of the voting
booths was headed by some of the
leading society women Of Chicago.
and every pressure was brought to
bear on the city authorities to pre-
vent smoking. The announcement
that the protest made by the women
was overruled was matter of much
disappointment to them, for it had
been expected that the demonstrators
would win.

children died here this week from
tuberculosis of the lungs. The di-

be a danger that it. will finally ex-
terminate them.
Why the Indians should become
such ready victims of the white

much speculation. The most gener-
ally accepted explanation is that they
have been forced by civilization to

Jury REPORT NOT
POLITICAL TRICK

Much popular discussion has been
prompted during the last week as
result of the refusal of District
Attorney Crossley and Judge Fuller
/ to approve the report of the grand
jury. and some of the supporters of
! the two court officials have gone as
/ far as to infer that the grand jury
/ had made its critical report for the
| indirect purpose of causing the re-
moval Of Mr. CroSsley and Mr. Full
( er.
/ This varied discussion has prompted
/ The Citizen to 90 into careful an
,alysis of the personnel of the jury.
and 1t has determined that the mem
/ bers varied widely In their voca-
/ lions, and as far as can be deter
mined. in their political affiliations.
The jury consisted Of 30 men, one
! Of whom, Robert Menzie was eX-
rused two DAYS before the report was
made. and another Charles Pyne. the
/ foreman. refused to sign the report
Thus the report carries IS names,
Of which but three are known to be
/ Democrats.
/ has been discovered, also, that
At least one of the three commission
ers that the grand jury wanted re-
moved is a Democrat, and therefore,
It is suggested, he could hardly be
an object Of any alleged Democratic
trick
If there are more than three Demo
Gratis on the lis of jurymen, they
are not actively identified in local
| politics. and these, it is asserted,
even if their political faiths We're
known could hardly be accused of
entering into any scheme to remove
the two Republican court officials.
The analysis Of the jury shows
hat Is out of the eighteen who
signed the report are married men.
/ The charge that the jury was not
representative of the mining interests
/ s also disproved by the analysis.
for one-fourth of the jurors are
miners.
Viewed from the point of resi-
dence. occupation or political faith,
he jury vas undoubtedly, it is prov
ed. the most representative that it
is possible to make from the resi-
tents Of the Tanana valley under the
resent jury system.

who signed the report, together with
their respective occupations
Harry T. Mclean, secretary, bank
