BOWERS.

Last Sunday was an unusually big day
at the resort if we consider the day in
point of numbers. Visitors began to ar
rive for the week end on Saturday. They
came from Philadelphia. Chester, Will
mingtOn and from all over the state.
The hotels were taxed to their fullest
capacity, especially the Johnson hotel.
to accommodate all who applied. The
visitors remained until late Sunday af-
ternoon. the majority of them taking in
the hook and line fishing. The extraor-
binary catches of fish with the hook and
line is attracting many more to this
place for that purpose this season than
ever before and those who are taking ad-
vantage Of it are having great sport as
well as profit to pay their expenses. The
seine haulers are still making good
money at their business, as their catches
are unprecedented for summer fishing,
and there is a demand for all they catch
at unusual prices. On Monday Of this
week the hauls made were of an average
Of thirty bushels or more to the net.
The sea croaker seems to be more in
evidence than trout, a fact that has
existed along our shore all the season,
but while that fish has predominated
they are growing in favor all the time
with the buyers and consumers.

w. G. Greathouse, county auditor
and recorder from Elko county, spent
a few days in Reno this week.
Mr.. Greathouse is one of the sub
stantial citizens OF the state and it is
rumored that he will probably be a
candidate for secretary Of state at the
forthcoming primary on the demo
cratic ticket, Should he decide to
enter the race, he will give a good
account Of himself before the contest
is over. w. c. Greathouse is a gen.
ueman from the ground up, as square
as men are made in this country and
is as honest as the day is long. His
integrity and efficiency as an official
of Elko county has been a matter ot
remark for the many years that h,
has held that position. The citizens
of the state will welcome him to q
greater field and his advent into the
arena of state politics will be hailed
with delight by his many friends

Official announcement was made
by W. w. Armstrong. state fuel ad-
ministrator yesterday, that the nc.
tiyitics of the district car service bu.

the bureau since its creation last Oc.
tOber had taken a government posi-
tion, with headquarters in the nation
al capital, and that he would not re-
turn here.

director of the car service bureau has
won him recognition all over the
west. was called to Washington about
ten days ago By Colonel D. c. Jackling

caC hof the two plants until they are
completed and Mr.. Spcllman is the
man whose duty it will be to see that
