Unsafe To ReneaI Ordinaee

A petition was fled with the
county commissioners at Winnemuc-
ca for the repeal of the muzzling
ordinance. Messrs. Sans and Piper,
of the government biological sur
vey, which has charge of the rabid
coyote situation, when consulted on
this subject, stated to the board that
at the present time it would be in
advisable to repeal the ordinance
for two principal reasons. In the
first place, the period of incubation
of rabies is so long, varying from
three weeks to six months, that it
would be unsafe to remove the muz-
zles until after rabies has been
thoroughly stamped out. Then,
again, it is a protection to the dog,
which is unable to pick up poison
that has been scattered over the
country to kill the coyotes. Mr..
Sans is of the opinion, however, that
unless rabies shall again break out
that 1t will be safe to unmuzzle the
dogs toward the end of the present
year.

ELECTION LAW IS UPHELD
BY THE SUPREME COURT
by a Decision Handed Down Last
Monday Court Sustains Validity
of Primary Law.

The Supreme Court, in a decision
handed down by Judge Coleman and
concurred in by Judges Norcross and
McCarTen, upheld the constitution
ality of the State election law pass
ed at the last session of the Nevada
legislature. The decision was said
to have been a lengthy one, covering
ten pages of typewriter manuscript.
Thus is laid at rest the uncer-
tainty chat has existed in matters
political since the filing of the test
suit last week, ostensibly by a mem
Der of the Progressive party. The
complaint set forth that under the
provision of the law the party of
which he was a member and which
cast the required percentage of
votes at the election held two years
ago, was dsbarred from exercising
his privileges as a voter for the reas-
on that the apportionment of dele
gates to the State convention were
based upon the vote for Congress
man at the last general election,
Inasmuch as the Progressive party
he'd no candidate for this Office at
the said election nc provision was
made for the apportionment to a
Progressive State convention.
County Clerk A. E. Wilson was
made one OF the defendants in the
action to test the law but did not
eppear District Attorney Cam,
however, made an appearance, but
did not take part in the argument
before the court.
The decision came as somewhat of
surprise to those who had follow
ed the proceedings in this county,
as il vas generally believed that the
court would take the opposite view.
While it cannot be said that the
present system is generally popular
either among the electorate or the
candidate there was a disposition to
regard the bringing the question to
an issue at this late date as a grave
mistake that might lead to endless
complications and hence the decis-
ion was received with satisfaction.

Mr.. Caine is a Neyadan, born,
raised and educated. He grew to
manhood in Reno, where he first
saw the light and was educated in
the public schools of that city and
.ater graduated with high honors
from the State University. Leaving
his alma mater he took up the work
of teaching and was acknowledged
to be one of the best organizers and
most successful principals in Ne
vada His superior abilities in this
respect was demonstrated when he
was offered a professorship in the
University from which he had grad
uated He was then principal of the
Elko High School, and had been
studying law for several years and
declined the offer to enter into the
practice of law. He was elected dis

Artesian Well In White Pine

The county commissioners are in
receipt of daily reports of the oper-
ations of the county drill which is
at work drilling for artesfan water
in the White river valley, and are
much encouraged with the work
thus far. While they have not as
yet a flowing artesian well, water
was struck at depth of something
over one hundred feet and all indi-
cations are that the efforts in this
great work are soon to be crowned
with success.

WILL MAKE ESTIMATES ON
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Government Engineer Passes Over
Route to Secure Date on Which
to Base Suggestions

W. II. Lynch, the government en-
gineer detailed by the department
at Washington to advise with the
officials of the various counties in
the construction and plating of
roads throughout the State, accom-
panied by II. E. Stewart, an .engi-
neer of Reno and representing the
Reno Commercial Club, were in Fal-
lon last Saturday on their return
trip from Ely. They had been on
the road for a week taking observa-
tions of the conditions and making
notes of the amount of work neces-
sary to place the roads in condition
to stand the travel and to make es-
Inmates of the probable cost.
The results of their Investigations
will be the subject of an exhaustive
report which will be made to the
Reno Commercial Club and by that
organization transmitted to the Lin
coin Highway association and the
commercial bodies of the California
cities who have signifed their in
tention of assisting the State in
making improvements on the Lin
coin Highway through Nevada.
Speaking from their observations
and without going into & lis of
the plans which will be e yorated
later. they believe that it is entirely
feasible to construct highway that
viii meet the requiremnts with the
amount that it is proposed to raise
in the northern California cities
supplemented by such assistance as
can be secured through State ap-
propriations and the regular county
road funds.
With regard to the problem pre-
sented By the stretch across the
Sand Springs fiat, both gentlemen
favor the building of a grade around
the eight-mile fiat, thus eliminating
the heavy cost of maintenance pre-
sented at this point. Neither gentles
man believed it feasible to abandon
the present causeway across the
four-mile, owing to the heavy sand

WILL ADVERTISE NEVADA
THROUGH MOVING PICTURES
To Carry the Real Story of the Real
Nevada to Every City In the
United States.

The Standard is in receipt of a
communication from the Pacific
Coast representative of one of the
largest moving picture film distriD-
utors in America, now stationed at
Reno. 1t is the intention of the con-
eern to take a number of typical
Nevada scenes which will embrace
the industrial, social, agricultural,
mining and educational life of the
State The work will comprise the
making of approximately 5000 feet
of film which will include close up
and intimate pictures of many OF
Nevada's prominent political and in
dustrial characters.
When finished the pictures are to
be shown in all the centers of the
State having suitable picture houses,
after which they will be released BY
a film corporation having connec-
tions with at least so per cent of the
moving picture houses OF the coun-
try.
The promoters OF the scheme
state that tbs primary object OF the
enterprise Is not to make money,
but to bring the true story of Nevada
into practically every city and ham
let in the country and thus remove
many of the erroneous impressions
now abroad concerning our State
and which is one of the chief draw
backs to the rapid settlement of this
commonwealth. In order that tie
pieures thus shown may truly rep
resent the various sections they will
be edited by being shown every
where in the State before being re-
leased in other parts of the country
No more certain or profitable way
of advertising the State could be de
yised than that offered through the
medium of moving pictures. and in
no way could a larger audience be
reached, especially If 1t was fortified
by an efficient organization prepared
to furnish literature and data to
those wo would be certain to make
inquiries as result of the country
wide showing of the pictures.
In this connection, no section of
the State should be more interested
than Churchill county In any scheme
designed to advertise the agricuitur-
al resources OF the State. with
quarter of million acres of arabic
land with an abundance Of water
TO irrigate it, all subject to home
stead with water payments on easy
terms extended over a term Of
twenty years and capable OF pro
dueing any crop that can be grown
IN the temperate zone, all that Is
lacking is intelligent and proper ad-
yertising to bring it to the attention
of the land hungry people of the
East to make of 1t one of the most
prosperous and financially solid sec
tons of the Great West
Here is an opportunity for our
live boosters to demonstrate the
faith that is in them by arranging
for series of pictures of the Truck
ee-Carson project which would in
clude scenes at the Lahontan reser-
yoir. typical farms that have result
ed from the government work, show
ing what has been done and can be
duplicated by anyone with the spirit
and determination under conditions
that are open TO all on equal terms.
