WEST END ". P.
AGAIN BLOCKADFD

Landslides and floods on the line of
the Western Pacific, principally in the
Feather river canyon, have caused a
complete tieup of that line between
WInnemueca and the west. Up until
Yesterday trains had been running
from Salt Lake City to Portola. but
last nights No. | was turned here
and for the present trains will be run
no further west than Winnemueca.
AT the local Offices of the company
through freight is being accepted for
eastern points, but none is being ac.
eepted for the west. Through freight
from the east is being transferred TO
the Southern Pacific at Prebel. four
miles east of Golconda.
Last night a work train with two
outfits passed through here from the
east, bound for the Feather river can.
yon. While large forces of men are
a. work repairing the damage to the
roadbed, it is impossible to estimate
when the track will be clear.

LATE DECISION MAY
NUIIrY NEW MEASURE

A decision just handed down in the
case of Tiedemann VS. Tiedmann, JUS
tice Norcross of the Supreme Court
holds that the District Court has pur-
isdiction over divorce eases where the
defendant is found within the state
and is served, thus paving the way for
many quick divorces in Nevada, unless
the new law will affect this decision.
The District Courts had refused to
take jurisdiction where the plaintlh
was not resident, although the de-
fendant was served in the state.
Justice MeCarran dissented. IL Is
believed by some lawyers that the
new law makes the residence OF the
plaintiff for one year necessary, de'
spite service of the defendant within
the state.

SMALLER ASSAY OFFICES
DfS[RYt NORt ATTENTION

1t has been urged as an objection
to the minor assay Offices that they
are not self-sustaining, but as mat
ter of fact there is no reason why
like many other departments of the
government, was. not established pri-
marily as a proft-making business,
but for the accommodation of the pub
lie, and the net cost to the govern
ment for the maintenance of the six
offices now in existence is less than
100000 per annup. These so-called
minor offices' are located at Boise,
Carson, Deadwood, Salt Lake City
and Seattle. The Office at st. Louis
was discontinued June 30, 1911, and
that at Charlotte, June 80, 1912.
The excess of operating expenses
over fees collected during the fiscal
year 1912 at the New York assay of
fee was $117, ,09s.96, while at the sew
en- other offices-Boise. Carson, Dead
wood, Helena, Salt Lake, Seattle and
Charlotte-at all these combined the
excess was only $90,22s.5l, a differ
ence against the New York office of
$26.S7045.
The Philadelphia mint, the most
splendidly equipped institution of its
kind in the world, is only two hours
from New York, and any one having
business with the latter city could,
with almost equal facility, transact
that business with Philadelphia. Yet
for the sake OF the trifling conven-
ience il is to the New York banks to
have an assay Office there, we are
called upon to expend more than is re-
quired to maintain seven assay Of
fees, the two nearest of which are not
less than 400 miles apart, and which
are scattered among the gold produc
ing states, just where they are need
ed, and which accommodate thousands
of people. 1t should be remembered,
also, that the poor man is the one who
is benefited by these small Offices;
they make it possible for him to con
tiLue the business of prospecting, and
il is the prospector who, in the first
instance, has discovered the great
mines which have added so much to
the wealth of the nation.
If, then, the Offices which fail to
collect enough in fees to offset their
operating expenses. should be put out
OF business. the New York Office
should be the first to go, since that
costs more than all the rest COM
bined. But il is said that that office
is worth the cost because of the ac-
eomomdation il affords to trade; then
if this justifes the expenditure, we
are even more justified in expending
whatever sum may be necessary to
maintain sufficient number of
smaller Offices to accommodate the
men who are taking wealth out of
the ground-at the risk of life and
limb, and at great uncertainty of any
return upon their investment; partieu
larly when il is remembered that. by
minting their product, the government
makes a direct profit of $5.000000 an
nually. and that the sum REQUIRED for
their maintenance is less than $780,
600. One would scarcely argue that
the New York banker is entitled to
more consideration than the western
prospector.-Mining and Engineering

REESE RIVER TWO
10 FIVE MILES WIDE

Rumors were current about town
this morning that the towns east of

ing replies:
Freshet at Battle Mountain.
BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Jan. 3.
1880 a. m.--There is no flood here.
simply a freshet. The Southern Pa.
cife track is slightly weakened for a
few feet, requiring slow orders. The

trouble, as the Reese river is from two

CLEVER BASKETBALL LAT KEENEY'S THEATER

l Basketball on bicycles, an English novelty, serving as the headliner at |Keeney's this week is. one of the most exciting and at the same time anus ing specialties given here in long ! |time The act introduces to local .theatergoers the Three Harveys the
 originators of playing the popular 1n- door sport on wheels. At every per |formance the pair gives bona tide contest, playing for eight minutes with all the skill at their command. There are several exciting moments as they whifl around the stage in pur- |suit of the ball and they exhibit re- Imarkable skill in some instances. One member of the trio serves as referee and the audience gets considerable Amusement out of watching him dodge the cycles. The act is c- head : liner of real merit.
 Neuss and El1rid, the Yappank guardsmen, have one of the funniest acts that Keeney patrons. have seen ln many a day. While they offer some skillful acrobatic feats, it is the com edy that really makes their speciality kn winner Comedy surprises are numerous during the time they are on the stage and while some of their methods are of the slap-stick variety they are employed in such a manner that they>appear different and are ex- tremely funny.
 Lovers of banjo playing will get con- siderable entertainment out of the act of Collins and the Clifton sisters. These people are masters of this pop ular instrument and there is melody and perfect harmony in all their num- bers. They play program of popu- lar pieces and limitations by Collins furnish an entertaining variation from their bill.
 Florence Talbot, dainty little comedienne, is bound to make many friends during her stay in this city. She has a pleasing voice and per- sonality that captivates her, audience
 before she hardly begins her first number. She offers a program of sen-
 ffmental ballads as we'll as the popu-
 lar ragtime selections, winning con-
 siderable applause for each. First
 nirhters'' liked her and gave her the
 recoenition she merited.
 Gfeeves and Coe, a pair of musi- clans and minstrel men of the old
 aays. are in new act this week. They
 ,,lav -f11e saxaphone and other brass
 trafruments in entertaining style.

Properly Made Sandwiches
 Make a Very Tasty Lunch There Are Many Kinds But Those Made of Lobster and Whipped Cream Are Among Best-Chopped Dates
 and Chopped Nuts Good With Latter

Wiches, as it tends to make them more appetizing, while the filling can al ways be made moist enough to spread easily with the assistance of cream, boiled dressing, mayonnaise, etc.
 Be sure that a very sharp knife Is used for cutting the bread into very thin slices, and as fancy cutters in the form of hearts, diamonds and cir cles are sold in cutlery shops now, the sandwiches when made may be stamped into attractive forms, there by adding materially to their appear ance.
 As examples of novel sandwiches the following are suggested:
 Lobster Sandwiches.
 Remove the meat from a boiled lobster, mince it finely and add half the quantity of shredded lettuce, small chopped cucumber pickle, a lit- tie salt and cayenne, one tablespoon full of Sherry and sufficient mayon- naise to moisten. Mix we'll and spread between alternate slices of white and brown bread that have been lightly buttered. Cut into small triangles and serve garnished with punches of crisp cress.
 Whipped Cream Sandwiches Thin slices of Boston brown bread are excellent to use for these delica- cies. For the filling whip until solid half pint of chilled double cream and gradually stir in three tablespoon fuls of Maraschino cordial, half a cup full of finely chopped dates, one heap ing tablespoonful of powdered sugar and half a cupful of chopped nut l meats. Have the filling as cold as possible, spread the bread thinly and l use the filling generously between the slices. Remove the crusts and cut | into oblong sandwiches.
