No reply was received from sena-
tor Newlands.
Practically all of Newlands' vast
holdings are in California and he
must protect them and let Nevada
suffer.
Woodburn would have us believe
that Newlands voted against the long
and short haul clause because he was
opposed to the commerce court but
further examination of the Congress
sional Record shows that this excuse
will not hold water. The same session

fore Mr.. Newlands must have sup
ported it, commerce court and all. As
a matter of fact during the many
days consumed in discussing this par
ticular bill, during which time prae-
ticaly every member of the senate
raised objections to or asked to have
certain features remedied, the voice
of Newlands never once was raised
either for or against the bill or any
of its provisions. This despite the
fact that it carried. Newlands would

To delve further into the history of
Newlands' attitude on the long-and-
short haul clause, we have only to
examine more closely the Congress
sional Record.
Here is part of what Senator
Nixon said upon the floor of the SEN
ate about this bill:
"Much has been said here in ref
erence to the justice of the question
under discussion. The speeches made
by the Senator from Montana (Mr.
Dixon), the Senator from Utah (Mr.
Smoot), the Senator from Kansas
(Mr. Bristow) and other Senators, /
think, i'm most argumentative way
have covered the vital points of the
question which has been before our
country for a great many years.
"While the state of Kansas, the
state of Montana and the state of
Utah, as well as other states in the
country, have suffered from the in

can in truth state that the state which

suffered from the determinations,

panies or by the different sections, as
some seem to think, perhaps more
than any other state in the Union. -

Senator from Nevadaa Why was he
not supporting Senator Nixon9
We at least have the bottom facts
regarding Newlands' vote. Sam Platt
did tell the "whole truth about the

Allies occupy German Trenches.

PARIS, Oct 31.-Reports from the
front say nowhere have the Germans
resumed the offensive and the allies
are nearly everywhere occupying the
trenches the Germans held a week
ago. Enormous losses and failure to
advance have disheartened the enemy.
The number of prisoners is increasing.
The officials do not believe the enemy
will be able to reinforce their lines.
The Kaiser's trump card was sending
crack Bavarians into battle, which
failed with enormous Bavarian losses.
The Belgians are cutting the dikes
and flooding the enemy's trenches.

". P. MAY NOT RE-
BUILD AT CERLACH

At 11:30 o'clock Thursday night
the Western Pacific roundhouse 1t
Gerlach caught fire and was practi-
cally destroyed. At present the cause
of the confIagration is unknown, but
will probably be disclosed at the off,
cial investigation which win follow.
Three locomotives in the building at
the time were badly damaged. The
entire loss is estimated at around
100000.
May Not Be Rebuilt.
It is the opinion of local officials
that the roundhouse will not be re-
built. The distance from Winnemuc-
ca to Gerlach is only 95 miles, which
is too short distance for division.
1t is thought probalJis that passenger
trains will be run from here through
to. Portola, a distance of 210 miles,
while freight engines Will be run
through, changing crews at some
point midway, probably Phil, Is miles
west of Gerlach.
Passenger Trains Annulled.
Effective Sunday, November 8,
Western Pacific passenger trains Nos.
3 and 4 will be annulled until further
notice. No. 8, leaving Salt Lake Sat-
urday night, will run through to San
Francisco, but No. A, leaving San

LONDON, Oct. 31-Despite the
Black sea depredations, which the
porte has not assumed official respon-
sibility for yet, the Turkish ambassa-
dor is reported as endeavcring to in
fluence the porte to disavow depreda-
tions, preserve peace and promise in

bassadors at Constantinople are tell
ing the Sultan that war with Russia
means war with the allies. However,
young Turks are in control and there
is little hope that Turkey will stay
out of the war.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-That the

by informal inquiries whether Ameri-
ca is willing to take charge of French,

MOVEMENTS OF parties
OF REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
Especial to the Silver State. J

VIRGINIA CITY, Oct. 31.-Gover-
nor Tasker L. Oddie invaded the home
territory of his opponent here last
night and he was accorded reception
of far larger proportions than that
given Boyle.
The National Guard hall was pack
ed to the doors and close to SO persons
stood outside endeavoring to catch
the words of the speakers. Local
pride may be of some benefit to Boyle
in this section but from the en-
thusiasm of last night g audience the
Governor and other Republican can
didates will at least break even in
Storey county.
There seems to be no doubt but
what Governor Oddie will carry Vir-
ginia City by safe majority.
The one thing that has hurt Boyle
in his own home town is his straddl-
ug and lodging of the two vital il
sues of the campaign.
Especial to the Silver State.)
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 31.-The Platt
party had a good meeting here last
night and they gained many new sup
porters, numerous Democrats volun-
tarily pledging support. Indications
of success are more assuring every
day.
The party win be at Goldfeld to-
night, Hawthorne and Aurora Sunday
and Reno Monday.

gone out. But Mr.. Boyle did not say
the word. Why notf

In my speech during the primaries
before the Republican club in Reno,
which has been widely published in
the press, I went into the subject of
state finances and economies in de-
tail and stated my position on mat
tiers relating to how and to what ex-
tent the burden of taxation for the
support of the state and county gov
ernments could be reduced. The Re-
publican platform presents in con-
crete form the pledges and purposes
of the Republican party if given the
power to carry them out and which
believe will be to the advantage AMI
advancement of the sound and perma-
nent welfare of this commonwealth.

Rumor Probably unfounded.

Yesterday wire was received from
Reno, asking about report that a
Newlands "sack' had been opened
in Winnemucea Thursday. An inves-
tigation seemed to indicate that the
rumor started from the fact that
Frank L. Reber, Newlands' Humboldt
county campaign manager, had been
industriously circulating about town
on the day mentioned Offering to bet
any part of $4,000, at even odds, that
Newlands will be elected. As Frank s
personal limit is nearer $3.50, it was
thought by the few who took the prop
osition seriously that it must be New
lands money that he wished to wager.

 ''I'll bet Bossy will never want to taste an apple again." said Wilbur.
 The boys began to plan how to get her down and decided the only way was to get into the tree and operate from above. To climb into the crotch of the tree was easy. Then, catching hold of Bossy's horns (while that wor- thy bawled more dismally than ever, much to the amusement of her rescu- ers) they gave her head pull and a twist and released 1t from the crotch. With below of thanks, perhaps, Bossy dropped on all fours and walked off. eating fallen apples as if nothing unusual had happened.

 Now, Uncle Sam has a corps of men whose duty 1t is to explore and survey hnd learn all about tracts of land In the country that are wildernesses and slncharted. They are known as the topographers of the Geological Sur yey. And they have to face many Hangers in performing their work.
 First of all they must be able to stand any and all hardships while living in rough country. They live in tents or shacks or even right on the open ground with no roof above them. They cook their simple meals over a campfire and carry their provisions, sometimes on their backs, over miles iand miles of wilderness or across bar ren wastes.
 Difficult and dangerous roads, steep mountain sides and stormy torrents can hold no terror for them. Always they must be prepared to face emer- sgencies, to load and handle a train of pack horses, to swim streams and to climb to almost inaccessible places. And from time to time come into the office at Washington tales of the .heroism of these men in the field. A motto of the service is: "In time of Ranger think first of your table sheets"
 Not so very long ago one of these surveyors was compelled to swim a treacherous. turbulent stream; before .plunging Into the flood he took the time to carefully deposit his field maps in a safe place on the bank. And he remarked that even though he and his lorse should be lost in the torrent, his

 Mir. Futile was indeed surprised. He returned to the kitchen and asked the boys if they knew anything about his jersey COW. Edwin told the story In a few words. When he was through, MT. Futile said:
 "Well, boys, I beg your pardon, and if you say so I'll get down on my knees"

 These half-cylinders are then placed in what is known as the f1attening oven, with a thick plate of glass, cov- cred with sulphate of antimony, uh- der each of them. This preparation prevents the hot glass sticking to the glass plates. Heat is then applied and the cylinders are pressed out flat by the use of wooden planes.
 The whole is left in the oven for several days in order that it may cool gradually and so prevent easy break ing When thoroughly cooled, the glass is removed from the oven and cut with diamond into the sizes de- sired by the merchants.

 But Dorothy had not been in the least discouraged. Instead she had set valiantly and systematically abou. 1t. Her allowance was ten cents each week; and she estimated that she could save seven out of each ten spending only three pennies each week for candy-and in that way become the proud owner of the beautiful doll in eight months. A long, long time; but then, you see. Miss Dolly was worth it!
 But, somehow, as time went on, the dropping of pennies into the bank had become less and less interesting. And every now and then Dorothy would pick up the little bank, shake it so that the pennies jingled most tantalizingly and think of all the good things she could buy with the money.

EZ HEN you stand by the window N and gaze at the many inter- A H esting things that are always wv happening out doors, do you ever wonder what really won derful thing is glass? And perhaps you have no idea how it Is made? Many years ago, before the process of making glass had been discovered, windows were covered with oiled pa- per and skins, which let in a little light but were not transparent.
 Glass is made of mixture of lime, soda and silica, which is a non-me- iallie element found pure and in rocks, -sf and certain minerals. This mix the proper proportions, is put g made of fire-proof clay; and s are then placed on stands
 furnace made of fire-proof
 $. A fire of over 2,000 degrees of F is kept continually burning with
 he furnace-and every glass mak- ] plant. of course, has a number of these furnaces.
 The flames leap up and around the small pots and, in fact, envelope them completely In the side of the fur mace, opposite each pot, is a small hole through which the men in charge can reach in and take out the glass and refill the pot with the mixture.
 When the mixture in a pot is ready, a workman inserts in it an iron tube about six feet in length, called blow ing from The handle of this iron is covered with wood so that the work mans hands will not De burned. He turns this tube round and round in the pot until the desired amount of the mixture has adhered to it. Then he pulls the iron out and, with a circular movement, on an iron table, rounds off the, mixture adhering. He then hands the tube to another workman, with the ball of glass still attached to it's end.
 This second man then blows through the other end of the tube until the glass ball is expanded into the shape of pear; and by further and skillful blowing he gradually lengthens the mass until it is a perfect cylinder and of the same thickness all over. The end of the cylinder is then heated at the furnace and an opening is made in it with a pointed iron instrument; this opening Is gradually enlarged and its edges are rounded off until they are smooth.
 But the other end of the cylinder, remember, is still attached to the blowing iron. A cold iron rod is ap- piled right where the glass joins the end of the blowing iron and it imme- diately separates. This break Is rag 2 ged, and uneven. of course. so hot glass is applied and the edge made smooth.
 Before glass can be used in a win
