GRANTED THE FRANCHISE

After spending nearly all of
Tuesday interviewing the property
owners on Court street, the county
commissioners granted the applica-
ton of the Bell Telephone company
for a franchise through Court
Street. The commissioners inter
viewed "a of the residents and
property owners and 38 of them
favored granting the franchise,
providing the company could not
go through an alley with its poles.
The commissioners went through
the alleys north of the track and
found them all blocked. They then
held a meeting and granted the
franchise.
Nine Of the residents and prop
erty owners on Court street were
not seen by the commissioners but
from what they learned they were
convinced that a majority Of the 9
favored the franchise. The result
of the work Of the commissioners
yesterday indicates that a great
deal of misinformation has been
spread around regarding the OPP
position Of the residents and prop
erty holders of Court street being
opposed to the franchise.
In this connection, we wish to
say that in yesterdays article VIC
merely quoted the language Of At
torney GedDey as given to US by
those who heard it. Today we
were informed that Mr.. Gedney
spoke in a sarcastic vein in reply
to the claim that the property
owners of Court street we're not all

CURES BY FREEZING

Freezing of living persons is the
somewhat heroic remedy proposed
by the Russian scientist Bachme-
tieff, for the Koch bacillus is killed
at 6 deg Cent. below freezing
point, it being the cause of tuher
culosis. SO that by congealing. the
person affected with the disease
the microbes are all killed. Then
he brings the subject back to life
by a very gradual re-heating. BE
has already succeeded in applying
his method to various animals such
as the rat and others by producing
artificial respiration in THIN at
the same time the freezing process
is going on. and he thus produces
suspension of life by cold which is
of great interest to science and
may may also prove of much util-
ity. Freezing of cattle in Winter
would thus preserve them without
food. and they could also be trans
ported great distances when in this
state. Many other applications of
the idea a be imagined. OF
course, the method has not yet been
applied tn the larger ANIMALS nor
10 living persons. but in principle
this does not appear to be inIpos-
sible and now remains to. be proved

actually frozen and then brought

STATE LOOKS WELL

Every once in a while it is we'll
to take stock of what is going on in
the state and look forward and sc e
what is to be expected in the near
future. Looking over Nevada, one
must admit that never since the
early Comstock days has the outlook
for a continuous prosperity of the
country been hetter. The recent
decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court, settling forever the
matter making a terminal for
freight to Nevada will work
wonders in the way Of stimulating
business. The season was never

plant there is being that the crops
are so abundant that there is doubt

of our surplus produce. There are
great haystacks growing in the big
agricultural valleys and there does
not seem to be enough stock to eat
them up. From all over the min
ing sections comes news of mines
which have bee under development
which are now rapidly paying for
the work that has been done on
them. New strikes are constantly
being reported, and many of them
are certain To make good. 1t is
the history Of most mining camps
that at some time, during their
lives they undergo a term Of de-
