viii gave $4,000 on Exhibit.

BY elimination of separate horti-
cultural and food products exhibits at
the Panama-Pacifc exposition and
combining them with the Nevada ag-
rieultural exhibit saving of $4,000
is to be effected This step was
agreed upon Saturday morning at a
meeting in the Office of Dean j. G.
Sehrugman of the heads of universe
tv departments who have the exposi-
tion exhibits in charge, says the Ga
zette.
Nevada was offered $500 square
fest for the agricultural exhibit, a
similar space for the mining exhibit /;
2.C0O square feet for the horticul-
tural exhibit and 4S0 feet for the
food products exhibit. The exposition
ru'es require an expenditure of $l.50
square foot, but as exhibitors are
required to lay the floor of their
be oths themselves, the cost would be
ne lrer So a foot. The elimination of
practically $500 feet therefore means
saving of $1,000 in preparing the
Nevada exhibit.
The mining site is considered to be
exceptionally good. 1t is surrounded
BY the displays of the United States
Geological Survey, the Alaskan ex-
hisit. United States treasury exhibit,
state of Washington and japanese ex
hibits. Besides the displays in the
mining and agricultural buildings, a
Sc ,eial exhibit will be made IN the

LATTE GAS SYSTEM

During the past several days w. J.
Compton and Frank l.. Reber have
been circulating among realty owners
or the town petition praying the
county commissioners for a franchise
to erect and maintain gas plant and
permission to run gas mains through
the streets and alleys of the town. It
Is probable that the petition will be
presented to the November meeting
of the board.
The gentlemen are said to repre-
sent a large corporation that is intro.
dueing the DeLaitte system in this
country, which is in quito general use
in Europe. The gas is manufactured
frcm gasoline and will be furnished
to Winnemueca patrons for $175 per
thousand feet. This is the present
price in Portland and Seattle, al
though several California cities are
securing it at a figure considerably
below the one quoted. Primarily it is
intended for fuel but NAV also be
used for lighting purposes.
Should the application be presented
at the November meething, it will be
acted upon at the December meeting
ard, if granted. the whole matter will
then be presented to the company,
with the probability that work on the
plant will be commenced about the
first of the year.
