SELECTS SHOOTING AS
MODE OF EXECUTION

Jose Salgoda, who last December
brutally bntehered and killed a squaw
on the streets of Elko, and who last
week was convicted of murder in
the first degree in the courts of that
county, was brought to Carson yes
terday by Sheriff Harris and after be-
ing taken to the Office of the state
police. where Bertillon measurements
we're taken, was conducted to the pen
itentiary and placed in the condemn
ed cell, there to remain till he is TAX
en- out and executed.
Friday, June Goth has been named
as the day of execution. Salgoda has
selected shooting as the means to ac-
ccmplish his end and the machine guns
which were used last May for the
shutting off of Mierovieh, who killed
John Gregovich of Tonopah, will
again be gotten out and placed in po-
sition for the opposition of Salgoda.
The crime for which Salgoda, who
is Mexican and % years of age,
was convicted was heinous in the ex-
treme. Without warning and during
drunken rage he met the squaw on
the street after dark and with an ak
or Ratchet hacked her to pieces.-Car.

NORTHERN ROUTE
in GOOD CONDITION

+. 5. Gedney, president of the De
velopment league and of the Elko
Auto association, returned yesterday
from Winnemucca, where he had been
the past couple of days. While there
he went over the road matter with
those interested in good roads in
Humboldt county and was agreeably
surprised to learn that thousands of
dollars are being spent on the roads
of Humboldt county this spring and
that before a month has passed the
roads from Battle Mountain to Reno
will be among the best in the state
Arrangements are being made to
put the old railroad grade of the
Southern Pacific from Lovelock part
of the way to Reno in shape and it
is estimated that the cost will amount
to possibly $4,000, the most of which
would be for culverts, there being at
least 60 to replace. When this is done
the road will be an ideal one, without
grade and on which high speed can be
obtained. The bridge over Rock
Creek which was built last fall by
Reese jenkins and which was wash
ed out last winter, has now been en-
tirelv rebuilt by Mr.. Jenkins and in
far better shape than before. He took
a contract with the good roads peo-
pie to build II miles of road and to
build a bridge across Rock creek for
$3.50. A contract was signed to this
effect and in it Mr.. Jenkins guaran-
teed that the bridge would stand the
high waters for at least five years. As
il was due to the washing out of the
piers under the bridge that it went
ont this spring he has had to rebuild
the bridge at his own expense. As it
is about 90 feet long with five con
crete abutments, the cost has been
considerable.
Elko county is working on the roads
across the county and they are in
fairly good shape for auto travel, hav
ing recently bought two carloads of
road machinery The red sign posts
with which the northern road across
the state is to be marked are finished
and will be placed in the next few
days. The road across the counties of
Lander and Eureka will also be mark
ed with these posts by Elko and Hum
boldt counties, and it will be impos
sible for the tourists to get lost in
following the northern road.
As it now is the road from the state
line to Reno is in good condition for
auto travel.
The road from Snowville, Utah, is
being rapidly put in shape and two
steam outfits are at work, the con
tracts already 1t aggregating over
$4,000. With the completion of this
section of the road it will give the
transcontnental tourist a good road
from Ogden clear across the state of
Nevada into Reno.
The Free Press office is just com
pleting 10000 small pamphlets, con
tanning the official log from Cheyenne
to Reno. Arrangements are about
completed for a printed log from Reno
east to Ogden, and all indications
point towards perfect working
northern route from Ogden to Reno,
and with the road in good condition
there can be no doubt but this will
be the popular route across the state.

GENERAL MANAGER PLACE
BACK FROM IDAHO TRIP

Col. f.. r. Place, general manager of
the Winnemucca Northern, accom-

turned Yesterday noon from Boise,
Idaho. The trip was made over the
serveyed route of the road by auto,
taking about nine days.
When seen this morning at the com
pany's local headquarters and asked
what was new in railroad matters,
Col. Place replied
Everybody in northern Nevada
and southern Idaho is jubilant over
crop prospects. The rainfall during
the winter and spring has been far
above normal and all indications
point to bumper crops. -
"When do you expect to begin
construction work, Colonel?' was
asked
"Southern Idaho will have the
greatest fruit crop this year in its
history The people up there are
wonderfully prosperous, having so
much money they do not know how
to spend it.
"Yes, but what about the rail
road3'
ooh, yes. Well, | am not in po-
sition to talk railroad affairs today.

shaping up slowly, and ! shall probab-
ly be able to tell the public something,

POLLUTED WATER.
Two Simple Tests by Which lts I'm
purity Bay Be Noted.

Every one knows and admits the ne
cessity for pure water When you are
away from home and are not sure OF
the character OF the water supply 1t
would not be a bad idea to make few
simple tests. The results may prove
that it was decidedly worth while to
take the trouble says the New York
Sun. Here are two tests that you can
make very easily:
Fill tumbler with water. drop In a
lump OF white sugar. cover 1t with a
saucer and let it stand overnight on
the bricks at the side Of the range on
the kitchen mantelpiece or in fact,
anywhere where the temperature will
not sink below 60 degrees. If next
morning the contents are clear the wa
ter is pure. If, on the other hand, the
liquid is cloudy some source OF con
tamination is indisputably proved.
The second test is to drop q few
grains of permanganate OF potash into
a tumbler Of water. cover and let II
stand for an hour. If the water is
still of the bright rosy color to which
the chemical turned it, it Is perfectly
safe for drinking If 1t is Of brown
ish color it is impure, although the i'm
purity may be OF the kind that boiling
will rob OF it's power to harm.

NO FEARS OF LABOR FAMINE,
immigration Restriction League Re-
plies to DR.. Eliot.

immigration Restriction League Re-
plies to Or. Eliot.
In answer to a statement by Dr.
Eliot of Harvard issued by the Ma
tional Liberal immigration league, the
immigration Restriction league gives
out the following:
"Dr Eliot says that the reading test
will cause a scarcity of labor That
would mean at present a comparative
scarcity of the unemployed. 1t would
mean for all time check on the un-
limited flow of unskiled labor from
the old world and the possibility Of
maintaining an American standard of
wages and Of living. That is one rea-
sen why we want it.
He also is afraid that restriction
will check our material development
Such would not necessarily be the
case. With a higher average of intel
hgence smaller number Of workers
at higher wages may produce more
than larger number at a lower level.
But material development is not the
most important consideration. If it
We're our country's mission to see that
the vacant lands of the continent are
taken up, its soil exhausted and its
mineral resources consumed in the
shortest possible time. it might be
that the lower our rate of wages and
the more rapid the immigration from
whatever source the sooner would that
mission be fulfilled"
