Rabies Now Working South

E. R. Sans Of the biological survey,
who has charge of the rabies situa-
ton. states that unless there should
be an unexpected development of
rabies in Humboldt County before
that time. he will recommend at the
September meeting of the county
commissioners that the quarantine
be raised on dogs and the muzzling
ordinance repealed. Humboldt and
Elko Counties are clear of rabies and
the quarantine against dogs has been
raised in the latter county. The
rabies has worked south to White
Pine, northern Nye and Mineral
Counties and the government hunters
and trappers are being sent there
from Winnemucca.

Three State Normal
Schools for Coming Year

State normal schools will be main
tanned during the coming year at
Virginia City, Tonopah and Bunker
vile. The location Of the schools
were decided upon at a meeting of
the State Board of Education held in
Carson City Monday and teachers
were selected. Miss Ann Rive, who
taught in the normal school in Car.
son City last year. will have charge
of the Virginia City school,. Miss
Ethel B. Brown will have charge of
the Tonopah school. She taught in
Elko last year. Miss Nina Cornell,
who taught in Panaca last year, will
go to Bunkerville.
Owing to lack of students in the
three places where schools were held
last year, it was decided to make the
transfers.

May Yet Be Fight
Among Republicans

While it has been generally under
stood that in the recent Republican
primaries Sam Plat secured enough
delegates to insure his nomination
for United States Senator. his claims
are disputed by A. H. Howe of Gold
field. Howe makes the statement
that Platt is from seven to ten short
of the required number of delegates
and if Plat cannot break in on these
Howe and Norcross can put up a
combination that will defeat the Car
son lawyer in the coming convention.
Anyway, all the supporters of the
three candidates are working as hard
now as they were before the primar-
les in order to tie up delegates. so it
begins to look as though neither one
of the bunch feels absolutely sure of
the nomination.

Ne Plu. Ultr. Mine Closed Down

Ely Record: The Ne Plus Ultra
mine at Hamilton. which has been
working quite a force of men for
some time past has been closed down
by orders of the Bambergers of Salt
Lake City. who own the property.
The mine was producing heavily, but
met with difficulty in shipping its
pres to Eureka. A truck had been
used in the service, but it broke
down several times, and then the
owner asked for $40 per ton for haul
age, which Mr.. Bamberger refused
to pay. hence the closing down order
which followed.

new CAPITAL IS LUREO
BY THE WESTERN PACIFIC

Fridays San Francisco Examiner
says the proposed road into Surprise
valley. California, sets into motion
plans for a variety of industries.
Bishop c. W. Nibley of Salt Lake is
arranging for the purchase of ten
thousand acres of beet land, and W..
P. Fairman, head of a group of
Philadelphia capitalists, is here repre-
senting the private capital to be con-
tributed toward the construction of
the new line from Gerlach. Nevada.
to Cedarville, California.
1t is stated in railroad circles that
the Western Pacific directors are ad-
vocating an energetic policy in re-
gard to construction or the taking
over of new feeder lines.
j. E. Sexton, general manager of
the Eureka-Nevad railway, says
the new road will have a 36-inch
gauge. He intends to incorporate
for the first 55 miles in the State of
Nevada. this being the exact length
of the road from Gerlach. the West
ern Pacific station in Nevada, to the
California border. Mr.. Sexton states
that he is doing this as he does not
want to be bothered by the Califor-
MIA State Railroad Commission.
After the completion of the 55 miles
it is intended to incorporate for
building a line from the terminus of
the SIS miles on the California border
to Cedarville, CAL. which will come
under the jurisdiction of the Rail-
road Commission of California. The
line will then be put under n sys-
tenn. Sexton said. but as the business
will practically all move interstate,
neither the railroad commission of
California or Nevada will have any
thing to do with the rates.

Discovers New Kind of Bunnie

Carson News: l.. F. Adamson,
who is somewhat of an enthusiast
when game and hunting are the SUBJ
ject, has discovered something new
in the way Of game in Nevada. There
is a small rabbit. which for many
years has been well known in Idaho
and Oregon, but not in Nevada. For
some reason the little fellows have
for the past season been moving
south. and are now to be found as
far south as Eureka. The new rab-
bit is a size smaller than a cottontail.
darker in color and has a black tail.
They are said to be very fine indeed
for the table, rivaling spring chicken.
On a recent trip to the southern
part of the State. Mr.. Adamson
heard of the new variety of game,
and while on the road in his auto
shot one near New Pass. in Church
i'll County. 1t is described as a rab.
bit, rather than a cottontail.

The railroad strike danger is not
ended. So far as employees are con-
cerned the situation is unchanged.

man G~arretson, President Wilson
wants to get information as to the
desired legislation and has called on
the railroad brotherhood chiefs for
another conference.
The executives are understood to
be studying form of communication

Some of the more optomistic still
have hopes of a final decision being
reached before tomorrow Saturday
night. The opinion that the eight
hour basis day will not be conceded
apparently was growing as the con-
ference continued. The executives
and managers devoted practically no
time to-day to the consideration of
freight rate increases and settlement
of future strikes, but conferred on
the length of the working day and
pay.
The German submarine Deutsch-
land is reported to be now prepar-
ing for its second trip across the At

DEMOCRATS PLAN
"HYPHEN" ISSUE
Declare Ohio Republicans
Will Not Let R0OSe-
welt Speak There.

Democratic leaders are getting ready
TO play what they believe will be a
trump card in the. effort to make the
.'hvphen" the paramount issue in the
campaign. This is the charge that Re-
publican leaders in Ohio, and particu-
larly in Cincinnati, have served notice
on the Republican National Committee
that they will not stand for Theodore
Roosevelt being permitted to speak in
that strongly German section.
Believing this to be true. the Demo-
Gratis expect to pound continually on
this point, in the hope of convincing
the voters of the country of its truth or
else forcing the Republicans to send
the Colonel to Cincinnati. If Roose-
welt apparently should be kept out OF
Ohio the Democrats believe this would
be a telling blow. following up the tele-
gram Of President Wilson to Jeremiah
A. OLeary, in which he scorned the
hyphen vote.
On the other hand, il under this at
tack the Republicans should attempt to
refute the charge by sending Roosevelt
to Cincinnati, the Democrats think the
result would be to drive thousands of
German votes in that Republican
stronghold TO Wilson-enough to place
