Constitutional AMENDMENTS
Eighteen About Ready for Submission
To Legislature By Governor Boyle

In the next week or 10 days a
series of Is proposed constitutional
amendments by which it is proposed
to carry out the views of the Governor
on the commission form of govern
ment for Nevada will be introduced
in the Legislature. Governor Boyle
says he has been working with at
torneys on the proposed amendments
for some time and they are about
ready for introduction.
The Governor says he anticipates
no trouble in getting the proposed
amendments through the Legislature
this year or two years hence, the
real fight being before the people.
The commission form of govern
ment was one of the recommend
ations he made in his message.
The views embodied in his message
relative to a purchasing agent for
the State and central clerical office
under which the clerical work in all
the State offices will be handled, he
says, will be taken care of in a
bill soon to be introduced. Under
the proposed bill the board of exam
iners, the State board of control and
the Governors secretary would be
the State purchasing agent. appoint
ing a clerk, who would do the actual
work at salary of $125 a month.
The Governor says very close in
vestigation has been made of the re-
suits that would accrue under the
board of control and that great
savings in all departments would be
brought about without the efficiency
of the different offices being injured.

WRITING UP RESOURCES
OF STATE OF NEVADA
Western Press Association Sends
Woman Writer To Describe
General Conditions

Nevada's industries, resources and
advantages will be given very desir-
able publicity through the Western
Press Association during the next
few months. This big news gather
ing bureau has detailed one of their
best writers, Mrs. Evelyn Corners,
to the Sagebrush State for a few
months stay. Demands from the
weeklies. but especially journals, for
articles dealing with general condi-
tions in the States where settlers are
desired, became insistent and the
Western Press Association selected
Mrs. Corners to come to Nevada and
gather the data for a series Of ar
ticles telling the opportunities for
the homeseeker in the intermountain
region. Mrs. Conners was selected
because she is a Western girl, knows
conditions thoroughly, and because
she has been asked to be sent to Ne
vada.
The laws pertaining to the home
seeker and those governing general
farm and livestock conditions will be
made the basis of the initial articles,
and the men who make the laws will
be given publicity in the dailies
through little stories of their person
alities, makeup and their ideas on
the outlook of the State. Mrs. Con-
ners will also prepare a magazine ar
ticle while gathering the data for
the general articles. Several mining
journals are also furnished articles
by the bureau. But the main mis-
sion of this versatile correspondent
will be to furnish several columns
weekly for the boiler plate" de-
partment, in other words, the plates
which are furnished already printed
to hundreds of weekly papers
throughout the United States.

Governor Boyle says he has been
in consultation with the Senate ways
and means committee, which has the
drafting of the general appropria-
ton bill providing for all State ex-
penditures for the next two years.
He says, in his opinion and that of
the committee, Nevada's expenses
can be cut to $3.50, 900 a year in 1916
16, which would be a reduction of
over 5000. 600 as compared with the
State expense during the last two
years.

GOOD WORD FOR COYOTE
q. S. Government Expert Gives
instruction For Exterminating
Rabbits in Nevada

R. A. Ward and E. R. Sands, of
the Bureau of Biological Survev,
United States Agricultural Depart
ment, are in Winnemucca and will
remain in this vicinity for several
days, says the Silver State. In an
swer to a petition from Grass Valley
farmers, the officials came here to
explain the best method of EXTERN
mating noxious animals and protect
ing those that are useful to farmers.
Last evening a largely attended
meeting was held in the Grass Valley
schoolhouse, at which both officials
spoke. after which they gave the fol-
lowing formula for exterminating
rodent pests, particularly jack
rabbits.
Formulas for Rabbit Poisons
l. Dissolve one ounce of strych
nine (either alkaloid or sulphate.
alkaloid preferred) in one pint OF
water and one-half pint of vinegar.
Mix two tablespoonsfull of ordinary
gloss starch in a half cup of cold
water and stir to the boiling strych-
nine, solution till it makes smooth,
thin paste, free from Jumps. Now
dissolve one ounce of soda bicarbon-
ate in one-half cup of hot water, and
mix with the poisoned starch. Add
one-half teaspoonful of saccharlne.
Pour over ten quarts of good clean
oats and stir thoroughly until every
oat is coated.
2. Dissolve one ounce of strych-
nine alkaloid in 5 1-2 quarts of water
with one pint vinegar (hot). Sprinkle
this over Is pounds of chopped al
falfa hay. mixing until all liquid Is
absorbed.
Good Word for Coyote
Mr.. Sanders is emphatic in his
statement that the coyote is friend
of the farmer, instead of an arch
enemy. as has been the general I'M
preston. Speaking on this subject
to Silver State reporter to-day, he
said:
For at least nine months in the
years the coyote subsists on jack
rabbits and other rodent pests. The
only time he damages the farmer
and stockmen is during lamblng
time. AS this is coincident with the
time the coyote is feeding its young,
it grows bolder and makes frequent
raids on the lambing grounds. IT
the stockman would enclose his lamb
ing ground with a 30-inch woven
wire fence. with two barbs on top,
he would have little to fear from the
coyote"

CLEAN RAGING
AT SPOKANE FAIR
Honest Sport For Horse Lovers
a Feature--- Horses
to Participate.

The modern race horse is the result
of generations of breeding and selec-
ton, and demonstrates what man can
do in improving stock Of any kind. No
one who loves horse can help but
enjoy an honest race.
The Importance that is placed on
racing by many fair associations has
been productive of some criticism, but
the Spokane Interstate Fair manage
ment has carefully investigated the
complaints and applied a remedy that
will insure clean and honest racing.
1t is an indisputable fact that no fair
can make a success without variety
Of attractions, and legitimate horse
racing is always enjoyed by all who
have the opportunity of witnessing
such races as have been staged by
this fair, or its part of it, as for ex-
PLANTATION: Each owner of a horse
in any race must pay per cent of the
total purse before he can enter; then
four of those who win pay an addition
al per cent of the total purse, which
makes quite an amount, with several
entries in each race, and very often
enough to pay the entire purse with
out any cost to the association. BY
adding the grandstand receipts, which
would not be large without racing, the
net cost of the horse races is made
very small compared with the cost OF
other attractions given for the enter
tainment of the general attendance at
the fair.
Since the enactment Of stringent
laws prohibiting pool selling and all
forms Of gambling at race tracks,
horse racing is becoming popular and
is being patronized by q class of peo-
pie who did not care to mix in it under
the old method. and people are learn
ing that an honest race is no more
harmful to good morals than contests
OF any description that are a test of
strength and endurance.
There win be I'll. 2.15, 21S and
2.25 pace events. I'll. Els. 2.1s and
2.25 trots, and besides number of
running events for four days. Among
the stake events are the Spokane
Derby for $1,000. the Power City handi-
cap for $500, the Fraternal handicap
for $500. and the Pioneers handicap
for $500. Entries for the harness
events close August /. and for run
ming stakes, September IL.
The fair opens on Monday, Septem-
Der Is, and the first two days will be
given over to auto races, the horses
having the track the balance of the
week.

DO YOUR VERY BEST.
De Earnest and Thorough and You Are
Bound to Succeed.


There is feature OF Dickens char
acter which cannot be too often or too
seriously insisted upon, and that is his
Intense earnestness and thoroughness
In everything he did. He said to me
more than once:
My dear boy. do everything at your
best. If you do that neither nor any
one else can find fault with you, even
II you fail. For myself. can honestly
say that have taken as great pains
with the smallest thing | ever did as
with the biggest"
In giving advice to a young author he
said on one occasion:
IF you want your public to believe
In what you write you must believe in
1t yourself. When l am describing a
scene | can as distinctly see what
am describing as can see you now. So
real are my characters to me that on
one occasion had fixed upon the
course which one of them was to pur-
sue. The character. however, got hold
OF me and made me do exactly the op-
posite to what I had intended, but
was so sure that he was right and I
was wrong that let him have his own
way"
Whatever he did either In work or
Mt play he always gave of his very best.
He hated slackness or half heartedness
in any shape or form.-Harper's
Weekly.

Peculiar Optical Effects and the Yellow
Spot In the Eye.
II one places a pinhead up close to
and directly in front of the eye the
head of the pin appears transparent
and things may be seen as easily
through 1t as through a sheet Of isin-
glass, the head appearing simply as
large round cloud. If 1t is placed some
what closer no pin or head can be
seen at all.
II one goes into a very dark room
and puts lighted candle near the side
OF one eye very pretty and peculiar ef-
fects are observed. A tracery, form
ing regular network, can be easily
detected, and this Is merely the shadow
thrown by the candle on the retina Of
the eye of the small capillary blood
vessels between the retina and the
candle.
If one looks to the side of dim star
in the heavens the star appears great
deal brighter than direct vision makes
1t appear. This is because the light
in the direct view falls on what is
known as the yellow spot" or point Of
keenest vision. AS this Is not put d.
rectly behind the front OF the eye the
side glance Is necessary. Some people
can see stars that way that they can
not perceive at all on direct vision

BROOK TROUT.
Science outdoes Nature In Raising the
Young Fish.


Young Fish.
The brook trout Is nest builder, but
does not belong to the group Of fish
which cares for its eggs and young
When the function Of egg laying is
completed and the nest covered with
gravel the parent fish seem to feel that
their whole duty has been performed,
and they depart. leaving both eggs and
the young when they are Matched to
the care of nature. and nature, 1t must
be confessed. is generally neglectful of
her charge.
Early In autumn the mature brook
trout In pairs seek the gravelly bot
toms of shoals and spring runs. Here
with nose and fins they hollow out a
shallow basin and make 1t scrupulously
clean. This is their nest, and over the
bottom the eggs are scattered, covered
with gravel. and their duty to posterity
Is ended.
Only small proportion of the eggs
deposited naturally are fortified, and
many of these are destroyed by spawn
eating fishes. Most Of the tiny fish
which do develop and succeed in punch
ing hole through the egg shell with
their little tails and emerging INTO a
watery world do so only to find quick
Judgment In some larger fish.
AS foster parent the trout culturist
is greater success than Dame Nature.
The latter, under the most favorable
circumstances. rarely succeeds in hatch
Ing more than 10 per cent OF the eggs
deposited. while the former expects to
develop into weighing fishes nearly 80
per cent Of the eggs obtained.
