with which his predecessor was re-
garded, together with the great
amount of business on the Court cal
endar of important litigation, has
caused much interest to be shown as
the manner in which Judge t. c. Hart
would fill the difficult position of
Judge of the newly-created Eighth
Judicial District.
The last few years the business OF
this Court, owing to the number OF
counties in the old First District, has
grown until it was too much for one
Judge to handle
Understanding that Judge Hart was
without previous Judicial experience
his administration of the matters pend
ing at the time he qualified, as well
as several important matters begun
since the first of the year, caused him
to be watched with unusual critical
interest.
Among many other closely contest
ed cases tried before him, was the
prosecution of the criminal case con-
Guided Tuesday morning last on the
acquittal of the five men accused of
grand larceny. The trial of which
occupied eight days was one of the
most closely contested criminal trials
that has ever taken place in the county.
Every legal technicality that could be
was raised and fought with most BIT
ter earnestness. Many of the ques-
tons raised were of grave Importance,
involving most complex problems,
which required acute legal knowledge
and courage in an unusual degree for
any Judge to decide.
The dignity and firm manner in
which Judge Hart made his rulings
impressed every one, both lawyer and
citizen that the people of the district
made no mistake in their selection Of
Judge.
A number of prominent lawyers
from outside places have appeared be
fore him, who, without exception,
have spoken of Judge Hart in the
highest terms.
Recognizing the Importance of the
position this paper takes this oppor
tunity to pay this tribute to the high
character, dignity, ability and legal
knowledge of Judge Hart

OLD TRAIL
MAKER PASSES OUT
TO GREAT BEYOND

This paper with greatest regret and
sorrow announces the death of J.
Uake) A. Hofhein which occurred in
Reno last Wednesday morning. He
had been ailing for some time and
was finally advised to go to Reno for
an operation. This being performed
he failed to rally.
Jake Hofhein was born in La Van
Utah, October 8, 1852, where he lived
until attaining the age of IA years
Coming of pioneer stock, he was OF
an adventurous nature, and in 1866
started out for himself, following the
vocation of vaquero, and about his
first job was helping drive a band of
cattle through to the Carson River
At this time the Buckland ranch was
one of the most famed in the pioneeI
history of the State, and he soon was
promoted to the position of foreman
and remained in this position for sew
eral years. At the end of his service
with Sam Buckland he came to Mason
Valley, which at that time was full of
cattle, horses and cowboys-times
when it took nerve, confidence and
experience to hold down such posi-
ton. Soon after coming to Mason
Valley his worth being recognized by
Hook Mason, at that time the cattle
king of this section, he was made fore
man of his big cattle ranch here, which
position he held until 1897, at which
time he went with John B. Gallagher
as foreman of this big cattle and land
owner, remaining with him until his
death.
Jake was a man beloved by all, of
quiet, retiring disposition, and at all
times making his word as good as
most men do their bonds; making
friends wherever he went, and his
range took in a broad scope of coun-
try.
In 1884 he was married to his pres
ent wife, to whom was born Mrs. Belle
Wagner, of Taft, Cal; Mrs Ella
Wagner, of Yerington; three step
daughters, Mrs May Adams, Mrs.
Alice Lewis, Mrs. Lulu Harris, and
one step-son, VIM. Uog) Birming-
ham. He leaves three sisters and
six brothers, who are living in Utah
and Idaho.
He has seen to the fullest the wild
and woody west; has seen the country
settle down into quiet law-abiding
community He was one of the pio-
neer landmarks, full of information
regarding pioneer days and has given
no little information to the historians
of our State. We, with his surviving
family and friends, mourn his untime-
ly DEATH and tender to them our heart
felt sympathy in this hour of their
bereavement.
The funeral took place this morn
ing and was largely attended

AID FOR ARTESIAN WELLS

PROFIT SHARING
is DEFENDED
George w. Perkins Calls
Profit-Sharing Miss
ing Link

New York, Jan. 23.--The examination
of George w. Perkins was continued
yesterday when the federal commission
on industrial relations resumed its in
vestigation into great organizations and
the cause of social unrest.
Mr.. Perkins explained in detail the
wage system of the United States Steel
corporation. He denied that the system
of allowing the employees to purchase
stock in the corporation had tendency
to curtail the personal liberty of the
employees, in that it prevented them
from making complaints about wages
and the length OF working hours.
The witness believed that profit shar-
ing was the missing link between capital
and labor" and that it's general estab-
lishmenI would do much TO lessen indus
trial unrest.
Henry Ford of Detroit, an automobile
manufacturer detailed the working of
the wage system which he introduced
at his plant last year, under which no
employee receives less than SIS day.
Mr.. Ford said that since the plan had
been introduced employees bank deposits
had increased more than 1870 per cent?
that the number of life insurance poll
cies taken out by employees and the num-
Der OF homes bought by them had great
~ increased and intoxication had de-
creased,
Mr. Ford said in his statement that
under his plan as in operation, "men
were made men"
"We have men who have been in pris-
on and who are cripples who are max
ing good. We would guarantee to take
every convict in Sing Sing and make
man out OF him"
As to the accumulation and perpetual
ton of large fortunes, Mr.. Ford said
be believed it better, wiser and more
just to make many men comfortable
than. to make few rich. He said the
great philanthropie organizations prob
ably do some good, but they are not
quail. NO man can bring up a family !
md hope to own home on the ordinary |
-ates of wages" Mr. Ford added.
Il do not think that any man can |
10 good work mentally and physically |
or more than eight hours per day.
'We cannot expect a man to give US
lis best efforts when he Is in debt and 1
las not enough 10 keep his family on.
( corporations are over capitalized they

On the proposal of the committee on
rules to amend rule 2, as follows: "The
House shall meet every day at 10 o'clock
in the forenoon and at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon; provided, however, that when
the House adjourns on Saturday fore
noon II shall be to meet at 3 o'clock on
the Monday afternoon following.
Mr.. Hewitt of Plainfield explained the
proposed amendment, and Mr.. Fairehild
OF Fairfield moved that the proposal be
ordered to lie; Mr.. Foster of Calais OPP
posed the motion; Mr.. Lance Of Cabot
moved that when the House adjourned,
it be to meet Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock. Both the motion to order TO lie
and to adjourn over to Monday prevailed
by an emphatic majority, and on motion
Of Mr.. Hewitt of Plainfeld, the House
AZ o'clock adjourned.
