Although an ordinance was passed
by the board of county commissioners
some two years ago authorizing house
holders to number their buildings it
remained for Rev. p. II. Willis to in
augurate the movement. Starting in
several weeks ago to agitate the sub
ject Rev. Willis discovered that an or
dinance had been passed, and looked
the matter up. Figuring ont ten feet
frontage to a number, he ascertained
that the M. f. parsonage should be

sary figures, and now resides at No.

ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR SUGAR TRUST

Louisiana sugar growers lost the
second round of their fight to keep
up the duty on sugar Thursday when
AttorneyGeneral McReynolds hand
ed down an opinion that Cuban sugar
is entitled to enter the United States
at all times during the life of the
present reciprocity treaty on payment
of duty of 90 per cent less than
other sugars.
The Louisianians contended that
there was a conflict in the new tariff
law between the reafnrmation of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty, which pro-
vides for a 20 per cent preferential
for Cuban sugar, and that part of the
law which provides for general re-
duction of the duty on sugar of 25 per
cent, beginning March 1st. They
hoped that the attorney general would
find that there could not be a re-
affirmation of the treaty and a re-
duction in sugar duties.
The. attorney generals opinion,
however, will result in an almost i'm
mediate reduction in the rate on
Cuban sugar, keeping it as now, 90
per cent under other sugars. After
March 1st Cuban "95 per cent? su-
gar Will DC duhhittCd w tnO ChitCu
States on payment of duty of about
I cent per pound.
Any further action by the sugar
growers probably will be in the Su-
preme Court. Suit might be brought
to determine judieially the question
of conflict on which McReynolds has
ruled.
Representative Broussard, of Louis
lana said that while the decision of
the attorney general would not make
any difference in the volume of the
sugar business between Cuba and the
United States, as the country takes
all of Cuba's crop, there is a guam
tity of Cuban sugar in the bonded
warehouses in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and New Orleans, where
the refneries are located being held
to await the decision so as to take
advantage of the double reduction,
effective next Monday March 2. 1t
means, he said, saving of millions
OF dollars to the American refiners of
Cuban sugar.

NEWLANDS NOT THE
FATHER OF IRRIGATION

Twenty-Five years ago today Sen
ator Stewart, of Nevada, introduced
resolution in the senate providing
for the selection of a committee on ir-
rigation and irrigation OF arid lands -
s. +. Chronicle, Feb 9, 1914
This was before Senator Newlands
ever saw Nevada. So il was, and un-
till the death of old "Bill' Stewart
whenever Newlands had himself ad-
vertised as the father of irrigation in
therefor) Chip threw fit. Now
"Bill' had few to equal him and
none to excel him in throwing fits.
He drove an OK team across the plains
in aobut 1850, and followed his "pro-
fession" as an expert bull puncher
for years after in California and
parts of Nevada. He learned the reg
ular Missouri vernacular necessary to
be acquired to successfully navigate
an OK team across the deserts, and
over mud swamps and difficult places
laboring under heavy loads, and from
his vast experience excelled in throw
ing fits. The language that old "Bill' ~
used whenever Newlands tried to
steal his thunder as the father of ir-
rigation in the arid west is unfit for
publication in a family iournal-be-
ing rather too blasphemous.
The fact is, however, that Charles
W Kendall, congressman from Neva
da, is entitled to the greatest credit
Ia about 1871 he introduced and OBJ
tanned the passage of bill in con-
gress appropriating a sum of money
to dig artesian wells in Nevada. He
is certainly the beginner in that line
Of endeavor. A very small sum was
appropriated for the purpose; machin-
cry for such purpose was at that time
very weak and imperfect; notwith
standing, number of well were in
Humboldt and Elko counties and
probably other counties, which pro
dueed sufficient water to Justify the
national government, and the govern
ment of the state of Nevada, and that
Of other states, to make larger expen-
dtures and tests to produce water
from underground flows to be used
on the surface for every beneficial
purpose.-Carson News.

THE CANDY SHOP"
MONDAY EVENING

Until "The Candy Shop made it's
box Office record smashing run of
eight weeks last fall at the new
Gaiety theater in San Francisco, an
engagement of over two or three
weeks at the most was unheard of in
that city and a theatrical event that
previously was considered impossible
During that period, the Anderson
Gaiety company success played to a
total gross of over $S7 900, and that
same run could easily have been ex-
tended as many weeks more with
practically the same success but for
booking arrangements which made it
imperative to shift the offering to
Los Angeles in order to make room
for new succeeding production
At the new Morosco theater in the
latter city "The Candy Shop scor-
ed the same success and the manage
ment was just as reluctant to send it
or the road for the same reasons that
necessitated the move from San Fran
cisco. While the northland city and
Los Angeles are both losers by the
deal, neighboring cities and towns
will in turn be winner, for "The
Candy Shop is being sent on tour
that will give the other sections of
the coast an opportunity to see this
wonderfully successful entertainment.
The itinerary of the attraction takes
it as far south at San Diego for a
week and then northward over the
one and two-night stand route as far
as Vancouver, after which the com
pass of the show will point in the di-
reetion of the middle west and east
unless negotiations with certain big
theatrical interests in Australia and
the Hawaiian islands are fruitful of
successful development A very at
tractive offer has been made lately
for the show to plav an engagement
of forty weeks or more in Australia
with stop-off of fortnight in Homo
lulu. The overtures comprise free
transportation and a cash guarantee
that is known to look mighty alluring
to the management. In the event that
this deal is closed, the company and
complete production will depart from
these shores March 10 next and as the
contract will have an optional extern
sion clause, it is likely to be a year
hence before the outfit returns to the
United States.
Manager Smith, of the Nixon opera
house, has secured "The candy Shop
for one performance, which will be
given next Monday evening.

PRINTERS TROUBLES ONLY
BEGUN BEYOND THE GRAVE

We had a dream the other night.
We shuffied off this mortal coil and
were knocking at the outer gates OF
hell for admission. One of Satan g
inside guardians spilled the bolts and
we were admitted. A guide met us
and asked us if we were ready to be
shown and we told him, sure,
we re from Missouri. - We then start
ed upon our journey. We noted q
cleanliness around the furnaces and
remarked upon the fact and was in
formed by the guide that the place
had been modernized. That they no
longer used the old fashioned Baptist
and Methodist birthstone fuel and
red-hot pitchforks had been discard
ed. Crude oil had been piped in and
was being automatically fed to the
furnace fires. Seeing there was no
wod or coal to buy and everything
running SO smoothly we said, "this
ain t hell.' Entering a large ballroom
where a grand orchestra was drilling
away on The trail of the Lonesome
Pine and other popular airs OF the
day, we saw a lot of swell chickens
dancing the tango, the hesitation
waltz, the kitchen sink, the jelly wob-
nIe ana 0Iner rags Seeing INC Sat0-
ties we said "surely this can't be
hell Going farther we came to
some watts in which a lot of delinquent
subscribers, press agents with lot
of free readers for expositions and
corn salves were being boiled, and
gleefully watching these free public
ity grafters bubble, we said, fthis is
too good to be hell' After wander
ing about and seeing many other
pleasant sights our guide informed us
that he would escort us to our future
apartment and occupation. We were
then taken away out into the midst
of the desert of hell, far away from
supply points and shown little room
which we were to occupy. Upon en-
tering the same we discovered CON-
mon every day gas engine. The piston
was on the blink, the igniter spring
was busted and the spark plug was
n issing. We were informed that our
future operation would be to keep the
engine repaired and in operation. Af-
ter looking the machine over we re-
marked, "well this is hell!' Just
then we awake and realized that our
gas engine was on the bum and the
spark plug lost somewhere between
Nina and San Francisco and every
d-n press tied up awaiting its ar
rival. And this is sure and unmistak-
ably hell.-Western Nevada Miner.

STEADY FLOW OF
GOLD TO INDIA


The adoption of gold by India con
tinues at a heavy rate, though last
year showed rather smaller demand
than its predecessor. In large measure
the gold exports to India are a matter
of recent years. In part they supplant
some of the silver which has been
taken by that country, but in part al
so they are an entirely new growth
from recent prosperity. SO far as they
take the place of silver they affect
that market directly, by decreasing
the demand for it, This is a serious
proposition, since the supply of silver
is quite sufficient, and is likely to in
crease and not to decrease. 1t is pro-
duced so largely in connection with
other metals that a reduction in the
demand does not necessarily mean any
diminution in the supply.
On the other hand, the gold require
ments of India decrease the amount
available for commercial purposes. A
large part of the gold sent to that
country is in bars, which are taken
for the manufacture of iewelry and
generally for boarding purposes. The
coin exported is floating supply,
most of it remaining in the circulation
reserve or being re-exported; but the
bars stay in the country.
The absorption of the precious met
ais in the east is a question which has
been discussed for many years, but
without altering the fact. The absorp-
tion still persists, the only change
being in the substitution of gold for
silver. which is now attracting at
tention.-E and Mining
Journal.

scme condition exists that demands
investigation. That condition does
not now exist, and unless something
unforeseen arises, Judge Taber says
that he will not call the grand jury.
