WHO'S WHO IN THE
 GOVERNMENT SERVICE

Of all the departments of the
 Federal Government. the Trea- sury Department is the most in- teresting and most important.
 It handles more money than ot-
 her institution in the world. It is the guardian and watch dog of the financial resources of the
 whole country; it conserves the national credit, is the national
 tax collector and collecting the income tax is no little job and it supervises the national bank ing system, including the new
 Federal banking system, which is the talk of the country. Oh, yes! It makes money literally and actually; the Bureau of En- graving and Printing is under i s supervision, and millions of nice crisp green and yellow backs are turned out there every day. It may be truthfully said, also, that the Treasury Department is the most business-like department of the Government in Washing ton. It will be seen. therefore, that the position of Chief Clerk of such department must be a big job-and it is a big job. It is really 5000 job, though it pays but $4,OO0. And the pre- sent incumbent is a liz man
 Mir. James l.. Wilmeth. the pre- sent Chief Clerk of the Treasury Department, is an excellent ,X
 ample of the merit system of the civil service. He is a native of Tennessee. though he removed to Arkansas when but a mere boy and worked on farm until he was 20 years of age take notice you country fellows. he didn't have a political ''pull', which the folks back home" like to prate about; he took the same chance you had, and have today; he worked on a farm in the sum- mer and taught school in the winter. then he spent three years il college, and taught school some more, when he was made principal of a high school. This ,oked like the limit, to him, so tar as school teaching was con- c,rned, so he struck out a d s arted over again in a new field. He took the civil service eXami- n ton in Texarkana, Arkansas. in September, 1894, and was ap- D intel to a clerkship in the Tfea snry Department at $60 n | month in 1895, and he. by tes s,stent work and close atteutios obusiness was promoted through!

Daniel Erni, a Rush county farmer,
wandered all afternoon and far into
the night before his shouts for help
brought him relief.
The story was brought to La Crosse
today by Frank Wesley, a ranchman
of Rush county. He explained that
the wheat stands more than five feet
tall and it is easy for man to lose
himself in a field.
"Erni is not very tall man, and
the wheat extended above his head"
said Wesley He lives in Bison and
drove out into the country to take a
look at his wheat Leaving the car

war fitted with this machine would be
able to communicate with each other

from the Hertzian waves of the reg

with them. The machine would be use
full at night for determining the loca-
tion and distance of an enemy's YES

electrical engineer, tried, just after
the sinking of the Titanic to interest
the navy department in his scheme,
but in reply to his requests for trial,
received word there was no appropria-
tion available for such purposes. He
hopes now the loss of the Empress of
ireland, under more or less the same
conditions as attended the sinking of
the ill-fated White Star liner, will
serve to awaken the government to
the advantages of his plan, and that
a test of his remarkable machine will

START CAPITOL JULY 4.
Ground Will Be Broken for State
House with Fitting Ceremonies.

House with Fitting Ceremonies.
Oklahoma City, Okla, June 1.-THE
state capitol commission has made
plans to break ground for the building
July A. They have very little in the
way of plans to begin with, but expect
to be able to keep gangs employed on
the excavation for basement. 1t was
announced today that plans have gone
far enough to warrant the statement
that the capitol building will have no
dome or big rotunda. The appropria-
tiOn is not sufficient to permit use of
NSpace that way.
\ Meantime the governor has not paid
over the 100000 bonus money that he
has been holding as a sort of unof-
fetal stakeholder, and it is understood
that he will not permit its acceptance
by the state until the abstracts of the
lands donated shall be delivered and
approved These abstracts were exam
ined by the legislature and some
things pointed out as required to make
the titles good. Then somebody mis-
laid them, and there is a delay, while
people who last saw them are telling
what they know of their Whereabouts.
The title is thought to be good, but it
will probably be subjected to further
scrutiny.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-On
the passage Of the trade commission

of congratulation and commentator
OF the chairman OF the committee

lands. 1t has been suggested that
this subject is new and novel. The
thought OF trade commissions is nei-
ther new nor novel, although the
power which this bill seeks to vest
in the commission is, | think, to most
people a somewhat unstudied and un-
thought OF proposition The senator
from Nevada for years, however, has
been an ardent champion OF this
measure and of the scope and pur-
pose of the pending bill, including
section 5. During the time that 1t
was my privilege to preside over that
committee as chairman the senator
from Nevada was constantly advocat-
ing and putting forward his thought
OF this kind of commission. The
senator from Nevada, during the
years of his service in both houses,
has been in the very vanguard of the
thought of developing the functions
of government; developing a union
and unity OF purpose between state

Already the baneful effects OF the
great European war are being felt in
Nevada and unless reaction soon
takes place the hurtiul influences will
be greater.
In Virginia City, on the Comstock
lodges, all the men have been LAID
off with the exception OF those who1e
help is necessary to conuol the
pumps and keep the underground
orkings from flooding. However,
there is an optimistic feeling IN the
town, as the San Francisco managers
of the properties say they believe
things will so regulate themselves in
the next week or two that work with
full compliments of men can be re-
sumed.
In the big copper camps it is dit
ierent. At Ely it is stated that the
miners have already been reduced to
hall time and it is feared that II the
war continues even for few weeks
everything will have TO be shut down.
According to the Guggenheims, who
practically control the copper situa-
ton in Nevada, the properties about
Ely will close down indefinitely un-
less there is lifting OF the war
cloud. This means the throwing out
OF employment OF over 1000 men.
In Montana the same condition
prevails, as will be noted by the
following dispatch sent out by the
yicc-president OF one of the big Ana
conda companies.
''Curtailment has been made abso-
lutely necessary by reason OF the gen.
eral conditions which prevail FOR

this country. The copper producers

per stocks have accumulated, and the

amount OF copper, for which there Is
no market in sight. The Crisis
which has developed in European al

u. S. Prisoners
Fill Reno Jail

Owing to the fact that the Reno Jail
has been filled to overhowing with
federal prisoners, it is stated that the
regular session of the United States
grand jury will be called to convene
the first week in September to con-
slider the numerous cases of boot
Logging, etc, that are now awaiting
the attention of that inquisitorial
body.
Hardly a day passes that new
prisoners are not brought into the
Washoe county bastile from different
parts of the stare, and the officials
are in quandary as to how they can
accomjlodate many more. Owing to
the limited quarters and the excessive
heat in Reno the matter is becoming
a serious one, hence the early sum-
moning of the grand jury which 9TH
erwise would not be called until the
October term OF the Federal court.
