UNCLE SAM WILL
.EXTERMINATE PESTS
[special to the silver State. }

WASHINGTON, March Mot less
than $175,000 will be spent during the
fiscal year beginning July / next, by
the federal government, under the di-
rection of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, in the killing of wolves, coyotes
and other predictions animals in forest
reserves and elsewhere on the public
domain.
When the agricultural appropriation
bill was under discussion in the SEN
ate, a committee amendment was
adopted increasing from $4,000 to
100000 an item providing for the in
vestigation of the food habits of birds
and mammals in relation to agricul-
ture, horticulture AMI forestry, includ
ing experiments and demonstrations in
destroying wolves, coyotes, prairie
dogs, and other animals injurious to
agriculture and animal husbandry.
Senator Jones of Washington COM
planned that the item would not be SO
effective as if there were a direct in
junction to spend a certain sum in
killing wild animals, preferably IN
forest reserves, AMI he was of the
opinion that the forest officials would
the scientific sharps in their labora-
tories. Later he succeeded in having
adopted an amendment requiring that
at least $4,000 be spent in killing
wild animals in forest reserves and on
the public domain. It was stated in
debate that $15.0OO,O00 would be re-
quired to cover the losses sustained an
nually by the depre lations of wolves
coyotes and other Wild animals.
The Senate has appropriated $780,
900 for the development of water, b.
means of artesian wells, in the arid
and semi-arid regions of the West
Senator Pittman declared that he was
heartily in favor of it and but for
fear that he would jeopardize the ag
ricultural appropriation bill, he would
ask to have the sum increased.

BOON FOR THE SHIPWREcKED
Life Preserver Invented by a German
Enables Person to Remain AfIoat
For Days.

Hundreds of inventions for the pres
ervation Of life in case Of shipwreck
have recently been tested. but what
seems 20 be the safest Is a suit which
takes the form of a combination of
life-belt and suit made of watertight
canvas. which envelops the whole per-
son. The suit has sleeves ending in
gloves, and there IS a portfolio in the
head. which can be closed when the
weather is rough When this port
hole is closed. air enters through
tube above the head, this tube being
so constructed that no water can en-
ter.
Furnished with this device, it is
claimed that a passenger might be
thrown into mid-AtlantiG and live in
comfor for many days while waiting
to be picked up, for the suit can be
equipped with sufficient food and drink
to keep a shipwrecked passenger alive
for a week or more
A man or woman using this device
stands with feet in a sort of bucket.
which forms the base. This bucket
takes in a Ger ain quantity of water,
which acts a. ballast and keep the life
saver and its occupant upright.
Furthermore. the apparatus is pro
vided with revolver an signal lights
with which the shipwreckeS passenger
can signal for help by day or night
Attached to the apparatus are ropes
by which two or three people cal keep
themselves afioat il they have not the
good fortune I, havo one of these life
saving suits
The suit is the invention of Ger
man named Gustave Heinrich, and he
declares that it viii deprive shipwreck
Of all its terrors in all circumstances.

MtNY RUN0RS REGARD-
ING W. N. CONSTRUCTION

The Weekly Engineering News of
New York City, one of the standard
engineering journals that has a we'll
earned reputation of not giving out
information until well authenticated,
under the heading, Railways" con
tains the following good news for
northern Nevada and southern idaho
and Oregon:
"Oregon.-Western Pacific Ry.-B.
F. Bush, president, announces that
funds for the construction of the
Boise Winnemucea branch of the road
have been secured, and construction
will soon be started. T. J. Wyche, San
Francisco, is chief engineer''
While it is probable that the En-
gineering News had good authority
for the above item at the time of pub
lication, events in the railroad world
are moving so rapidly that the basis
for the ordinary announcement is fro
quently changed before the ink is dry
on the paper containing it.
There has been great deal of what
is commonly termed "bull" published
in the papers concerning the building
of the Winnemucca Northern, much of
it originating with the San Francisco
Chronicle. In a recent issue that
paper stated that few days previous
ly Louis Hill had ahghted from
Western Pacific train at Winnemueca
and took an auto FOR Boise, going over
the proposed route Of the road. Most
people here who noticed the article
stopped reading after the opening par
agraph. for they knew that Louis Hill
had never stopped off in Winnemucea.
When in Winnemucca a month ago.
Col. f. R. Place, general manager and
promoter of the line, stated to the Sill
yer State that in his Judgment some
sort of line would be built this year,
but just how much, or by whom, he
was not in a positi m to state.
With the Western Pacific about to
go into the hands Of . receiver, it is
not likely that rold viii be in a 20
sition to build feeders for some time.
If reports are true that the w. P. and
ID. & r. G.. will pass into the control
of J. ]. HILL with Vice-Presidsnt
Brown as president of the consolida-
tion, to be known as the Grand Pa
cific, President Bush remaining with
the Missouri Pacific, it would seem
probable that the last named official
would lose interest in the Wsetern
Pacific and its feeders.
However, upon the return of Col.
Place from the East, which is looked
for during the present month, it is
possible that something definite may
be learned.

OBJfI TO ABOlISHING
DEPUIY SUPERINTENDENT

The last meeting of the Parents
Teachers association held Friday after
noon at the High school was the most
enthusiastic and the most largely at
tended meeting in many months. Many
visitors were present and five new
members were added to the roll.
Judge Langwith . address was full
of good things, and brought out many
interesting remarks and discussions.
Among others the matter of abolish
ing the office of deputy superintendent
of schools, as proposed by bill be-
fore the present legislature, was thor
oughly discussed, resulting in the res
olutions given below, which have been
forwarded to our legislators.
The next meeting ut the High school
will be a social gathering of the so
ciety and its friends en- Friday even
ing next. All are very cordially invit-
ed to attend.
Following are the resolutions;
"The the Honorable Members of the
State Legislature:
"Whereas, A bin has been introduc-
ed into our legislature, the object Of
which is to abolish the office of Dep
uty Superintendent of Schools through
out the State, and place these difficult
duties in the hands Of another county
officer who is already fully occupied
with his present duties;
"And, Whereas, A former expert
ence of this sort with our Nevada
schools proved to be a most disastrous
and harmful experiment;
s'And, Whereas, Since the delegat-
ing of the duties of the Deputy Super
intendent to the District Attorney OF
other county officer, would necessarl
ly require the employment of deputy
in that office to attend TO the duties
of said Office during his absence while
visiting schools and attending to the
many duties of Superintendent o.
Schools, there would Re no economy
combining the two offices;
''Be it Resolved, That the members
and friends of the Winnemucea Par
ents- Teachers Association, do hereby
most strongly protest against the pro-
posed change, as most unwise and de-
struetive to the best interests of the
schools and children of our state;
"And Be it Further Resolved, That
we most earnestly petition our legis-
lators to use everv honorable means
within their power to defeat the p
posed change, and continue the present
system.
