is authorized in assembly bill No. 90,
introduced in the house by Fulmer
of White Pine, which is reported to
have the backing of many members
of the house, was sent to the COM
mittee on ways and means.
Fulmer provides that in the event
OF the resignation or retirement or
expiration of term of the chief COM
missioner, the associate commission
.er will become the chief. A reduc-
tion in salary of the chief commits
sioner, who is now granted $4,000
per annum, is provided, the amount
being cut to $4,000. The remaining
two commissioners, who now re-
ceive $4,000 yearly, will be paid SIS
per day for all days when they are
actually engaged in the service of
the commission and in no case shall
they receive a sum in excess of $1,000
per year,
The secretary of the commission
will also experience a slight reduc-
ton in his pay, being granted ST.
500 annually instead of $4,000 he
now receives.
Senator Thatcher of Eureka. last
week introduced an anti-gambling
bill designed to prohibit entirely the
playing of all games of chance for
gain or percentage and places all
slot machines under the ban. The
measure is so constructed, however,
that it will permit the conducting of
a little poker game when staked as a
private party, says the journal.
No reference is made in the meas
ure to betting on hodse races by
the pari-mutual system which is now
legaliZed by an act of 1915. Stud
and draw poker are prohibited as are
all games usually inscribed in the
gambling catalog. Even the PLAYING
of slot machines for checks or mer-
chandise is made a misdomeanor.
Violation of the provision of the act
is made punishable by fine Of not
less than $50 nor more than $500, or
by Imprisonment of not less than 30
days or more than 80 days or by
both fine and Imprisonment.
The sheriff is authorized to seize
all gambling apparatus and devices
when the same is believed to be had
Tor the purpose of violating the law.
Such devices are to be taken before
a magistrate and after examination
Of the proper witnesses shall be or
dered destroyed.
The measure is designed to drive
out the riff-raff and army of unde-
sirables usually to be found where
gambling flourishes declared Senator
Thatcher in explaining the measure
Nevada is now populated by many
persons of this kind and they should
be forced to leave the state immedi-
ately. Two years ago we passed a
law permitting poker to be played,
but specifying that no percentage was
to be exacted. This law was not en-
forced and percentage games are now
being freely operated. The proposed
law will prohibit such games and
should tend to clean up the state. &"

me to read the Herald for it has some
good letters from some of the Ten
nessee boysA especially enjoyed
Mr.. ,Bartlenn's letter from Camp Cor
don. Some people have the idea that
us boys cannot live right in the army
but want. to say that he same God is
waching over us now that was when
we were at home. believe If we will
put all our trust in. Him He will carry
us through and land us safely on the
other shore. congratulate Mr.. Bart
lett on his faith and determination to
live right even If he is the army.
wish every soldier boy was a soldier
for Jesus Christ. Speak kind word
to your fellow man and be a man
wherever you go.
! would be glad to- see more letters
the paper every week. They en-
courage us boys, so give us the news
rom good old Tennessee.
Something has been said about the
home folks sending their boys cakes
and candies. Ireceived cake from
Nashville few days ago, which was
enjoyed very much. Anything like
hat will keep all right. A box of
chestnuts would be appreciated by
any of your boys who are now in the
army, so if you want to cheer them
up send them a letter or some little
gift from home.
Boys, let us all not do anything that
would cause a black mark on our
character. Let us play the man, and
all the way through, and when We all
come home again let us come as bet
er boys than when we left.

MY HIKE IN TEXAS

| 1t was one bright and sunny morn
ing on Oct. s, 1915, when the soldiers
at Eagle Pass, Texas, were as busy
as bees fixing for big, long, dreay
hike. Each one was rolling up his
blankets with three extra suits of un'
derwear in it and his little house or
half tents as we called them, around
the blankets. and we put two small
pieces of bacon, two boiled potatoes
and four small pieces of loaf bread in
our mess kits, then put the lid on.
This was for our dinner, and we put
salt, sugar, coffee and mess kit in our
haversack and aquart of water in our
canteens. remember It was very
hot and sultry morning. About $3.50
we started out on our long and dirty
march. Each, of us was in good spir-
it's, thinking it something great to be
soldier and make such long hike.
We had teHminutes rest every hour
and when resting time came we Ten
lesseans would scatter over the coun-
try and return with skunk, rattle
snake, horned toad or some other in
habitant of Texas. Each company
averaged capturing 25 snakes day,
besides other things. Some of the
Joys skinned the snakes and had the
skins made into belts. and they GER
tainly were pretty.
About 1890 of the first days hike
we all had drank our pitiful little
quart of water, and the first night we
quartered near pond with a scum
over the water, and when. we unslung
packs we made for the water like a
mother will for her child when 1t has
allen into the fire. We came to Spot
ford Monday evening, which was the
goal we were looking for, but our
comical ways were dying fast. We
to find q town but saw moth
ing but a saloon and a wide place in
the road. I4Ee s#a E& 81
The next day the khakis were seen
in every direction hunting bottles in
which to carry water as we started
back toward Eagle Pass, and most of
the boys got beer bottles, as that was
about all that could be found.
Spiritually we soldiers considered
ourselves total loss, for any nan
with any gray matter at all knows
that God has never visited that part
Of Texas since he made It. When we
sot out of the outskirts of Eagle Pass
we never saw house except very
few ranch houses until We reached
the saloon and broad road at Spofford.
The country was a desert ard would
AXE a good camel to cross it. We
lidn't mind the food nor the hiking
30 much, but the water was very
carce and we didn't know we were
going to be on camel parade or we
would have taken eight days supply
,long for emergency. But thank the
lord, after we had eaten the dust for
eight days, we came to our dear old
amp. All were tired and dirty over
he long and tiresome march, but it
