IDLE MEN AT RENO

The Gazette says that idle men are
loafing around Reno in greater num-
bers than for a long time. according
to Chief of Police Hillhouse, who
makes daily rounds of saloons and
lodging houses to keep tab on new
residents. How these men live when
out of money, as most of them are, is
mystery. They sleep in chairs in
saloons and occasionally sue d in

or gift of 10 cents to buy a bowl of
soup or Hamburg sandwich. Most of
the men loafing about town are said
TO be willing to work if anyone can
tell them where to 30 to find work.
But when the police feel called upon

are at a loss to tell him where to go
when he seems willing to exchange
idleness for hard labor.

Unless Heavy Fall Is Forthcoming
Soon Stockmen and Ranchers
Will Suffer
SNOW is VERY
LIGHT EVERYWHEE: I:
Valleys Are Almost Devoid OF Sno,
And Mountains Are Very
Little Better

Ranchers and stockmen from al.
over the county are becoming appre.
hensive over the lack of snow which
has fallen in this county during the
winter People from the outlying dis.
tricts in town during the last few
days state that the amount of snow
in the streets Of Elko is a good sample
of the snow in the county with the
possible exceptions of some of the
higher hills where there is slightly
more of the beautiful. In these plac-
es, however, the snowfall has been
light and unless there is more snow
within the near future, the next sum-
mer will be a hard one for ranchers
with herds. In Ruby and other valleys
the snow barely covers the ground and
one rancher some twenty miles from
the city stated yesterday to a repre-
sentative of the Independent that the
snow in his country was so light that
II amounted to nothing. This morn
ing opened up as if good SHOWS torn
would be forthcoming and ranchers
anXiously watched the heavens for
signs of more snow but up TO the pres
ent time no more than a light furry
has fallen. 1t is to be hoped that
more snow will be- falling before many
days pass.

TO GoLDFIELD MAN

CARSON CITY. Jan. 23.-Hal
Mighels. clerk of the supreme court,
announced today that he had offered
the position of deputy clerk in his
Office to Walter Pratt of Goldficld.
While he was unable to say Pratt
would accept the indications are that
the Goldfeld man will soon be on

From all that could be learned to-
day the appointment meets with sat
isfaction from the democrats as to
Il party standpoint and from all 9th
ers as to the question of eligibility
and competency. Mr.. Pratt is regent
of the University Of Nevada but as
that position carries no salary or

Only Incidents.
However all this is but an incident
of legislature which has not as vet
warmed the seats Of the legislative
chambers. One can only say that the
legislature has been organized and the
wheels of the machinery only turned
over enough TO see that they are in
mesh. There has been no clash, few
bills have been introduced. each mem-
bcr is sparring with the other TO find
his feelings and so far they have hard
l. become acquainted we'll enough TO
call each others name upon the noor.
Platform Pledges.
The first effort of the bill makers
has seemed to be an effort to get i'm
on their party pledges and show the
folks at home that they are going TO
do those things they spoke about when
soliciting votes. The democrats. for
some unknown reason after this lapse
OF years, have cried down with nepo.

measure is a word about trading
cred to be right and proper and is be-
coming science so those who have
relatives at work need not worry as
there will be other places at the public
banquet board for them to sit and en-
joy the feast. This early effort to
bring the platform pledges to the
front has something behind it which
will be disclosed later. Could it be
possible that nepotism is whip for
things which did not satisfy some dur
ing the campaign?

Personal G[|MPSES Of

The first week of the eth session
Of the Nevada legislature has ended
and so far all is well. The prelimi-
nary caucuScs We're held on the Sun
day preceding the session and all ar
ranged satisfactory to the republican
side OF the house at least. In the
election of aSsemblymcn the two large
parties drew Il tie and the decisive
votes were held in the hands of the
independents, who, through the able
representations of those who took an
interest in the matter were convinced
they could best serve the interests
of the people by casting their votes
with the republican members. This
was done when the legislature was
called to order and in consequence
both branches of the legislature were
dominated by the republican party.
who dictated the appointment of the
attaches. II was noticeable that the
Independents Jared well in the mat
ter of appointees and they will be able
to return to their home people and
point out their success in leading their
followers 10 the public trough.
n Likely Looking Selection.
Let us say, however, that in the ap-
pointmcnt of attaches for the present
term there seemed TO be a concerted
effort TO secure capable help and this
legislature should not worry about
having business done in a workman
like manner. There is just enough
OF the old timers in the ranks of the
workers to lead the way for better cf-
forts.
The AssmebIy Controller
In the selection of Speaker Mcbride.
the assembly has selected a young
man whose ability as legislator
should be of high order as he has
had experience in the making of
laws and is quick in mind and action.
SO far Ii" has been untried in the
ruling plac" and nay have easy riding
throughout the session but every
speaker has had his trials and his
hours OF tribulations and it is reason
able to suppose that the same will
come to him. There was a moment
during tie past week when the speak
cr grew tight about the lips and barred
his teeth to Il slight extent. This was
when Fitzgerald of Nye grew slightly
sarcastic and in fact domineGring oV-
or the failure of the speaker to ap-
point his committees as rapidly as

pointed. For a momcmnt. to an on
locker who realizes the tenseness of
such situations, it looked as if there
would be fireworks, but the speaker

then the fireworks are to be touched
off all along tie line

In this situation there is Il peculiar
phase. Fitzgerald was elected by the
