Facts. We have them at our digits
points. The bill went through both
houses without serious opposition,
and those who desired that DECKER
son should be disposed were some
what elated over their feat.
Great was the confusion, when the
chief executive attached his sigma
ture to the bill, and told Superin-
;endent A. A. Burke that he ntend-
ed TO appoint Dickerson in his place.
Then brave men wiped their brows
and the kids ran home with the dole
ful tidings. Ii developed that Burke 5
commission had been made out at the
pleasure of the governor.
So far as the jargon jangles Burke
vas not in the down and out class.
another berth had been provided for
him. He was appointed inspector of
police by Superintendent Dickerson.
Dan Edwards, who gained some repu-
tation in the southern part OF the
state for running down cattle rust
lers was sidetracked in his cherished
desire TO make room for Burke.

COVETED APPOINTMENT
LANDED BY D|CKERSON

The attempts on the part of GER
tain lawmakers at Carson to place
the skids under the political aspira-
lions of ID. S. Dickerson, formerly
OF the Expositor, were doomed to
die an untimely death, when the ex-
governor was made head of the state
police and penitentiary by Governor
Boyle last Monday after he had APP
proved the new state police law.
During the recent session of the
legislature, the enemies of Dickerson
rose to wonderful heights, and to add
a gloomy thought to the depressions
of the morning after, sponsored q
measure making the captain of the
state police ex-officio warden of the
penitentiary. They were not consid-
crate of Dickerson's feelings or even
gave a passing thought as to what
the once resident of Ely might do II
their desires were contaminated.

A ..WET. JOKER DISCOVERED.

Our prohibition friends are not

not represented as such, vas schedul-
ed for introduction into the senate,
When 1t was found to be loaded Sen

Those who love keen and delicate
humor asserted that the local contin-
gent looked fairly well at the open
ing of the season last year. when they
administered the only drubbing that
the miners from Copper Flat receiv-
ed during the life of the county
league. Then came the empty stretch
left by the departure of the only
pitcher, and an aching void caused
by the refusal of two diamond per-
formers, who had been traded to Ely
to appear in a local uniform. From
the beginning ii was hard shedding
for the local players. The devasta-
ton had changed baseball history.
With their %perceptive faculties
somewhat blunted by the drifting
away of what seemed to be the nu-
cleus of a merit ball club, they were
muttering many a mutter and MUIR
muring many a murmur but the jinx
still stalked in their pathway. A
good hurler was available before the
disintegrating forces got in their
deadly work, but he broke a bone In
his foot on his first appearance, and
the situation was not improved. Bring
order out of chaos. Not on your Sep
tember morn,
Baseball is not a mystery club at
McGill. The outlook for another
year of strenuous activity on the dia-
mond has clarified. The fans are
loaded down with Joy pills. and indi-
cations point to the organization of
the Mil and Shop teams. The dope
has refused to dope around the
mines. Although last years cham
pions may get busy in the immediate
future, no noise has been heard from
the neighborhood In the vicinity Of
the steam shovel pits.

LARGEST TYPEWRITER KNOWN

One of the exhibits at the Panama
/ Pacific Exposition which can hardly
escape observation, is a typewriter
of gigantic proportions. Lest their
myriads of typewriters that are to be
put on exhibition, an enterprising
company has had a machine built l.
72S times larger than a standard
typewriter. 1t is not merely a eolos-
sal image, but a working model that
actually writes and during the Expo
sition it will type news bulletins on
a sheet of paper 9 feet wide, in let
tiers 3 inches high and 2 inches apart.
The monster machine will be operat-
ed by electrical connection with a
typewriter of standard dimensions.
For instance, on depressing a key of
the small machine the corresponding
key of the large one will respond. A
lever is used for the return of the
carriage and for line spacing or rotat-
ing the cylinder. The big machine
weighs IA tons as against 80 pounds,
which is the weight of a standard
machine. 1t is II feet wide, in ac-
ton, by Is feet high, and requires for
its operation a room measuring %
by 80 by 25 feet. The platen, 8 feet
6 inches long by u inches In diane
ter, weighs 1900 pounds, and the
carriage $500 pounds. Each key
cup. which is the part of a typewriter
that is pressed by the fingers, is 7 in
ehes in diameter, while each type
bar is 80 inches long and weighs as
much as a standard typewriter. This
mammoth typewriter has been under
construction for about two years and
cost 800, 600.

THE STORM SEWER QUESTION.
Editor White Pine News:

Editor White Pine News:
/ note that the storm qnes-
ton is 10 be an issue in the coming
campaign. If your columns are open
for discussion OF the subject, | would
like TO say a few things in reference
to the same.
am in favor of public improve
ments always, and | uphold any
thing that will be for the general
public good, however, there is a time
for everything and | feel that on ae-
count OF the present financial eondi-
ton OF the city. the voting OF more
bonds should be postponed for a
year or Two at least. II il then APP
pears necessary It may be that By
that time some of the city's present
Indebtedness may have been cancelled.
am not In favor of building a
sewer of the kind proposed, anyway.
It seems TO me that 1t would be a
shame. almost a crime. TO put this
DfduAlluI iIltA 2 Hh1t
Water and green trees In this desert
eountry should be appreciated n
this water might be made the source
of beautifying both hurry and Mill
streets. The normal flow is about
sufficient to supply W. cutters. Let
this water be made to flow in the
cutters on these streets and fill in the
old sewer channel. Plant trees and
grass along fhe curbs and let us hear
the birds singing in the branches and
let us have shade and beauty. IL
you must have a concrete sewer. let
from these cutters at Hayes street,
by the Catholic church, across in
front of the Hayes Hotel. emptying
into its natural channel at the Rich
mar.
If this water is placed underground
it will not only be a constant source
of trouble but the trees now growing
on hurry and Campton streets will
die, because trees only do well here
when they grow practically in the
water.
No underground sewer system
could take care of a flood like the
last one which was actually a water
spout right In own. Such a flood

of Nature. beyond the power of man
to control, known In the law-books as
acts of God. The violence of such
floods is usually compensated by
their ~infrequency.
This flood was augmented too, by
the breaking of the water company's
ditch. To avoid this the water mains
should be extended to the springs up
hurry way. thereby giving the upper
residents fire protection and water
pressure throughout the town.
Whenever the ditch breaks nov the
town is at the mercy of fire till the
break is repaired. The greatest loss
from such a plan would probably be
felt by squaws who would have no
further opportunity to wash their
clothes in the city's water supply.
In conclusion | desire to say that |
admire the stand that Mayor Parker
has taken In reference to these ques-
tons and | sincerely hope that he
may be induced to get into the race
again because being a taxpayer, |
feel safe while the financial affairs of
the city are in his hands.
Yours truly,

This fee was regarded as a deterrent
factor in enlisting entries from the
corn clubs, and in consequence was
removed, that the youngsters from all
sections of the State might be encour-
aged to bring exhibits to the State fair.
Another inducement was offered in
the matter of enlarged premiums in
this department. Previously, pre-
miums amounting only to $3.50 were

new arrangement prizes amounting to

and explaining the schedule of pre-
miums to be paid.
In class prizes, $40 will be dis
tributed. These are for the greatest
yield per acre, combined with the best
written report of production, the best
profit paying investment and the best
ten ears from the crop. The first
prize IN this class is for SIS; the Sec
ond. $40 and third $5.
Where the entry consists only of the
ten-ear exhibit, without history of
crop or estimated cost of production.
prizes amounting to $23 will be paid.
The three premiums in this class are
$40, SIS, and IS respectively.
For the single ear exhibits, prizes
to the value of SIS will be paid. These
are 81, So and SO. Mr.. Baker en-
phasizes that these prizes are sepa-
rate and distinct from all other county
and State prizes offered, and are in
tended only to substitute for the pre-
MUM list originally adopted BY the
State fair.
Mr.. Baker believes that he will
have as many as 100 exhibits. The
corn club boys will also be a prom
nlent factor in the harvest jubilee pa
rade. These will be dressed in farm
lie regalia, the outfit designated be-
ing oVeralls and broad brimmed pal

season idea. Each boy will bear as

AS the batteries are not exhausted

shown its greatest usefulness as the

ORDERED TO LEAVE SOFIA,
RUSSIAN MINISTER MUST DE-
PART FROM BULGARIA..
Nation Given Twenty-fOur Hours i'm
b Which to Make Break With Teu-
tonic Allies and Officers Leave for
Their Own Countries.

Petrograd (via London), Oct. s.
The semi-ofticial news agency says
the Russian minister has been ordered
to leave Sofia unless within "a hours
the Bulgarian government openly
breaks with Austria and Germany and
send away Austrian and German mill
tary officers now in Bulgaria.
The news agency gives the follow
ing note the minister at Sofia has been
ordered to hand to NJ. Radoslavoff,
the Bulgarian premier:
| THE events which are taking place
in Bulgaria at this moment give evil
dence of definite decision of King
Ferdinand's government to place the
fate of it's country in the hands of
Germany.
"The presence of German and Aus
trian officers at the ministry Of war
and on the staff of the army, the con-
centration Of troops in the zone bor-
dering Servia and the extensive finan-
cial support accepted from our enc
mics by the Sofia cabinet no longer
leave any doubt as to the object OF
the military preparations of Bull
garia.
"The powers Of the entente who have
at heart the realization of the aspira
tions of the Bulgarian people have
on many occasions, warned Nj. RADIO
slavoff that any hostile act against
Servia would be considered as directed
against themselves. The assurances
given by the head Of the Bulgarian
cabinet in reply to these warnings ar,
contradicted by the facts.
The representative Of Russia
which Is bound to Bulgaria by Tho
imperishable memory of her liberia
tion from the Turkish yoke can no.
sanction by his presence preparations
for fratricidal aggression against &
Slav and allied people. The Russian
minister. therefore, has received or
ders to leave Bulgaria with all the
staffs of the legation and consulate:
IL the Bulgarian government does moi
within "a hours openly break with
the enemies of the Slav cause and OF
Russia and does not at once proceed
to send away officers belonging tc
armies of States which are at wal
with the Russians.
