ne for bonds to finance it. which Is
a(4ge bill No. 40. During c%onsidera-

which would strike out the

ENORMOUS CROWD SAW
PRESIDENT AT RENO

Reno has entertained some big
crow during the past few years. but
with the exception of the crowd that
was here at the time OF the Jeffries-
Johnson fight In 1910. the city was
never so crowded as 1t was yester-
day, says the Reno Gazette.
Automobile parties started coming
in Saturday and Sunday from all d.
rections. The trains from both west
and east were crowded to capacity.
The hotels have had no vacant
rooms for nearly a week prior to
the Presidents visit and rooms in
private homes were rented to those
who intended to remain in Reno over
night. Tickets for admittance to the
theater where the President spoke
were at a premium and much conf
ment was heard on the streets by
ont-of-two- people who would at the
best receive only a passing glimpse
OF the nations chief executive.

PRESIDENTS TRAIN
THROUGH AT "a N.

Presiden. Wilson's Sepcial train
passed through Winnemucca at two
o'clock this morning, over the South
ern Pacific right of way, en- rouie to
Salt Lake City. 1t did not step here
The occasion of the passing OF a
presidential train over the railroad is
always a great event in railroad an
nails, and everybody from section mar
TO superintendent breathes a sigh of
relief when the train has lowered the
last block signal on the division and
been turned over to the next suppose
something should go wrong while the
train is on the Salt Lake division. 1t
would be considered an everlasting
disgrace by every railroader IN the
system.
The train arrived in Reno last night
at eight o'clock to the second, and it
has not failed to do likewise all along
the Pacific Coast. The ten big cars
drawn by the finest engine IN the
Sacramento division pulled into Reno
with the Presidents car, "Mayfiower,"
resting exactly on the crossing at
Virginia street. The engines and
crews were changed and the inspec-
tors and icers came from Sparks to
make the train ready for its non
stop run to Carlin. 1t was drawn by
an engine that has been tuned up for
a week at the Sparks shops to bring
the train at racing speed to Carlin.
Engineer Painter, n of the oldest
and best drivers on the system, was
in the cab, and G. f. Mcclure, another
veteran of the rails, was in charge
as conductor.
A pilot engine preceded the train
to Carlin to see that the track was
safe and section men were on watch
during the night at all bridges and
curves. Dispatchers and telegraph
ers watched the keys, reporting and
checking progress, and a minute off
schedule caused worry for every Off
cial on the division.
The President train ran as the
second section of number two. but
will arrive in Ogden one hour and
thirty minutes ahead of thai fastest
of fast trains.
The train itself is an object of the
greatest interest. The ten cars are
beautiful examples of car building
as palaces on wheels. The Presidents
car is the last N, and is the May
flower" the official private car of the
head of the nation. 1t was specially
built and is undoubtedly the finest
car e seen on this division.
1t is not the first time a President
has passed over the Salt Lake divi-
sion. President Harrison was the
first, and what a comparison was the
private car he travelled in and the
rolling palace that transports Presi-
dent Wilson. Mckinley. Taft and
Roosevelt have also travelled over
this division.
