BARTLETT ARGUES
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

George A. Bartlett, former con-
gresham. who recently petitioned
the supreme court for restraining
order to prevent Secretary of State
Brodigan instruct 'ng county clerks
to arrange for the ELECTION of two
judges in each judicial district OF the
state, argued In behalf of his petition
in the session of the supreme court
this afternoon. He made an oral ar
gument and in addition presented a
brief with an imposing list Of au-
thorities.
Judge Bartlett contended that the
act is ambiguous and that the read
ing of the first section. which provide
for two judges in every district ex-
cept Washoe county, is clearly repug-
nant to the spirit Of the act as shown
by the reading of sections two, three
and four. Judge Bartlett contended
that the supreme court has right
to go back of the enrolled bill and
construe an act as ambiguous In ac-
eordance with the intention OF the
legislature as shown by existing cir
cumstances.-- Reno Gazette

P JUMPING WATER FROM
WELL 200 FEET DEEP

Jno. Schreiner, eaJmer living one
mile east of town. has just had
pumping plant installed on small
scale that is well worth travelling a
few miles to see. He had small 2
horse power boiler and engine. He
was told by Kansas City and San
Francisco pump men that he could
not raise water out of the 200-ft
well with this small apparatus. So
he gave up using the engine and
bought a small steam pump and put
it down in the we'll within two feet
of the water and had his boiler
bricked in especially for burning
sagebrush, so that the flames get
to all parts of the boiler. He has
sagebrush to burn, whether he pumps
with it or not. The boiler is little
small for the work, but by close
attention to the firing, he can get
full one inch and a quarter stream
Of water, which is the full capaci
ty of the pump. The pump does fail
work on IS pounds of steam, but
at~S5 or 80 pounds it works at full
capacity boldt Star.

SAM DUNHAM
PUBLICITY AGENT

And so Sam Dunham of the New
York Mining Age has been appoint
ed publicly agent of. the State
Exposition Commission. Sam is a
Democrat. or used to he. but as he
was not member of the last legis
lature his appointment is mystery
not easily explained. He's a good
old scout and the Record Is pleased
to learn that he is to be in on
some of the easy money. But why
publicity agent? Has the COM
mission anything to sell? And, If SO,
hasn't it enough ability among its
numerous appointees to do the
work? Let's see. it now has a
general commissioner, an assistant
at $500 per, secretary and three
or four other members of the legis
lature on the payroll as assistants
With nothing to do but spend the
money But the are entitled to it
1of did they not vote for the bill
and help push it through? OF course
the constitution says no membe
of the legislature shall accept EN-
ployment through any measures pass
ed while he is a member of tn
Legislature. But why a constitutio
anyway? Don't the boys need tn
money? In the language of tn
immortal Web Flanagan, "Wha
are we here for?" And then don
Carson City get all the money? Sur
Mike. Then why spend any of

With the government doing its share

private capital will not be backward

The day is not far distant, in my
