CLAIMS APPORTIONMENTO OF
SENATOR'S UNCONSTiTUTIONA

A correspondent in the Reno Ga
zette writes that 'the apportionment
act OF the last session of the legis-
lature is clearly unconstitutional
The constitution of the state of Ne
vada provides in substance that the
number of inhabitants as shown by
the federal census, or state census.
shall serve as the basis of represen-
tation in both houses of the legisla-
ture. In 1854 the constitutional con-
vention made the first apportionment
to the state legislature. The appor-
tionment of senator's by the conven-
tion was as follows.
Storey county a Douglas, /; Es-
meralda, q Humbolt, 2; Lander, 2;
Lyon, l.; Lyon and Churchill, /
jointly; Nye. 1 Ormsby, 2; Washoe

-FOUR MILLION DOLLAR
SALE TO BE REJECTED

An eastern paper contains the fol-
lowing item of local interest:
"The special meeting Of the stock
holders of the International & Inter-
colonial Mining & Refining corpora
ton, which was to have been held
Tuesday. for the purpose Of consid-
ering the disposal of the corpora
tion's $40 acres of copper and silver
mining property situated in Utah
and Nevada, at price in excess of
$4,000,000, was postponed until next
Monday morning.
Although the offer for the prop
erty is said to have been made by
prominent capitalists, interests in
close touch with the affairs of the
corporation state that it will be re-
| jected, as many stockholders have
| filed objections to the sale.'
Il is assumed that this refers to
the Day-Bristol and other properties
formerly under the control of Mid
dleton and others But here it is
pretty generally believed that these
interests have been succeeded by r.

Some leading Democrats recently
endevored to induce District Attor-
ney Orr to run for state senator,
Notwithstanding his decision not
to do so sometime ago, because of
reasons that were explained to some
of his friends
Il am not candidate for any of
office this year" declared Mr.. Orr
a few days ago II have fully de-
termined upon this course and will
stay out of the coming campaign, SO
far as being candidate myself is
concerned"
1t is understood that Mr.. Orr con-
templates becoming candidate for
a higher official position two years
hence. TO run for senator now would
necessitate his resignation as sena-
tor, in case of election, after serving
one-half Of his term and he dosn't
believe that to be the proper thing
to do. Besides there are personal
reasons why he does not want to
get into politics this year.

ON THE WAY TO GROOM

Clyde West returned Thursday ev-

several days ago with B. l.. Smith,

passengers.
The roads, Mr.. West declared yes
terday, are something fierce: the big
truck used in hauling old junk from
Delamar to Caliente having simply
ruined that portion of the highway
for comfortable auto traffic. A like
situation also exists between Groom
and Indian Springs.
