SHE UP AGA|M,D0WN
AGAIN, GONE AGAIN

Wasn't that pretty landing" was
heard in the crowd which watched
the landing of the De Haviland plane
from Mather Field, Sacramento. this
afternoon, when it gracefully glided
down to the ground at Dedmans
ranch. But the aviator said lit was a
little soft" for nice landing.
The big machine first flew over the
landing field at los pm. piloted by
Lieutenant Beck, with Sergeant Reed
in the second cockpit. The machine
is new De Haviland, with twin
six Liberty motor. Lieutenant Beck
said they had come from Sparks, a
distance of 165 miles by rail, but las
miles by air. in los minutes. The
speed shown on his instruments was
eighty miles per hour, but they came
much faster, actually, because of a
good tail wind. Included in the los
minutes of the trip were several
used in racing with Southern Pacific
train No. 5 as it pulled into Winnie
mucca, and several more circling
above the city. And at that the lieu
tenant said he had not Opened her
up" because the motor is new. The
Liberty motor in the plane develops
435 horsepower.
The details concerning the other
planes, as told by Lieutenant Beck. is
as follows: The two new Curtiss ma
chimes left Mather Field with him,
but could not get over the hills be-
cause of carrying too much gasoline.
They returned to Sacramento, un-
loaded some of the gas and finally
went on without passengers. The
consequence was that one of them ran
out of gasoline just over Carson City,
made forced landing which broke
the tail skid and propeller This ma
chine will continue its journey when
repaired, which may be tomorrow or
Saturday. The lieutenant thought it
might stop here for supplies, but was
not sure.
The uninjured Curtiss stopped at
Lovelock at HOG this morning and
continued its trip later. The plan
was for it TO go straight. from Love-
lock to Battle Mountain, and therefore
it would go so far south Winnemuc-
cans could not see it.
Lieutenant Giroux of this city, an
aviator who flew United States planes
in France and who recently received
his discharge, met the De Haviland
and climbed over the fusilage imme-
diately upon the landing to shake
hands with the visiting flyers. They
were his guests at lunch, while the
plane was being refilled with gasoline
and oil. AT $3.50 o'clock the machine
left to continue its journey to Elko.
1t will remain there over night and
start tomorrow morning for Ogden,
where an exhibition will be put on
Saturday to stimulate bond buying.

WATER SUPPLY WAS
THEME Of ENGINEER

The regular meeting of the CITY
council. postponed Monday night be-
cause of lack of quorum, was held
last night.
F. o. Broili, chief engineer of the
Railroad and Public Service Commits
sions of Nevada, was present, on invi-
tation of the council, and went into
the question of water supply as re-
CARDS fire protection and domestic
use. Mr.. Broili had some good sug-
gestions concerning the local problem
! and so impressed his hearers that a
definite line of action with his idea
as the background is likely to result.
Broili's suggestion for fire protec-
ton is another reservoir between the
two reservoirs now in the canyon, the
new one to be located at heighth
sufficient to develop 110 pounds
nozzle pressure of water for fire fight
ing purposes in all parts of the city.
Additional mains to convey the

of pipes to be so arranged that they
will operate together to supply water

would not be kept in the pipes at all
times, but would be controlled by an
automatic valve. operated by the

the plan are to be brought out at the
public investigation by the Public
Service Commission on the applica-
tion of the Water and Light Company
for an increase in rates.
Broili stated last night that it is
within the power of the commission
to order any Improvements made that
they consider advisable. at the same
time fixing compensation for the
work. There were many ideas ex-
pressed. all of which would be for the
good of the city. Advices this morn
ing indicate the hearing before the
commission will take place on a date
not yet actually fixed, but before
June next.

IMPORTANT!
VOTES CANNOT BE SOLD, BOUGHT,
TRADED OR TRANSFERRED

In order to correct a prevailing
impression that votes in The Silver
States campaign can be secured as
above, we wish to go on record as
stating that the following plan is the
only way that votes can be secured
in this campaign:
There r just two ways OF secur-
ing votes in this campaign-one is
by clipping the coupons from each
issue of the paper, and the other Is
by securing subscriptions to The
Silver State upon which votes are
issued.
These votes issued to candidates
cannot be bought. sold. transferred
or traded. They IRE good only for the
candidate to whom they are issued,
and are not transferable under any
conditions. This insures every can
didate the full fruits of his or her
work and makes the competition fair
in all respects.

SPARKS BOASTS OF
100000 PAY ROLL

Sparks-quite rightfully. it would
seem-"points with pride" to the fat
payroll which is distributed in that
thriving little city by the railroad
company. as witness the following lit
tie boast in the Sparks Tribune of
yesterday:
The shop men and the road men
are receiving their pay checks today
for the labor which they performed
during the last half of the month of
September.
The shop appropriation for Sep
TENDER was something like $50, 900.
so that the amount which will be dis
tributed to the mechanical employees
will u in the neighborhood of $45,-
900.
There Is no set appropriation for
the road men. but their pay roll will
run well over 100000 a month. so
is safe to say that they will draw $780,
900, or more
This will make a semi-monthly pay
roll being distributed today of some
thing like a hundred thousand dollars.
In a years time, at the present
rate. the Southern Pacific Company
will distribute over two million and
a half dollars in wages in that city.
This is the largest individual pay
roll in the state and the greater por-
ton of the money finds it's way into
circulation as the employees live well
and give their families every oppor-
tunity they can.

76 YEARS YOUNG, He
IS YET ACTIVE MAN

Joe Wilson, one of Nevada's real
old-timers, who is still active in the
mining game. will resume work on
his Digmore and Star Shooter groups
and expects soon to have a shipment
of ~high-grade ready for the smelter.
These properties are located in the
Rocky Canyon section of the Indian
mining district. one mile southeast Of
the famous Rye Patch mine (Which
has produced about 81. 900, 0O0) and
eight miles northeast of Loring.
While the showing is very good the
development has been limited and it
consists Of a shaft fifty-three feet
deep and several open cuts and two
trenches. Notwithstanding which, a
number of small shipments of high
grade ore have been made. One of four
tons sent out last summer netted $125
per ton-$104 being in silver at 50
cents per ounce, and $21 in gold.
Twelve ton sent from the Star
Shooter No. l some time ago netted
$68.80-of which $3.50 was in gold
and the remainder in silver. with the
latter again figured at 50 cents.
Wilson, who confesses that he is
rs years young. has sold a half in
terest in his properties to Charles w.
Adams, the local contractor, who was
amazed when he got the results OF
the assays and samples he had taken
before closing the deal. The first was
across the sixteen-inch vein and IL
returned $164.8S per ton. The other
samples taken near by gave $40 and
$117.49 per ton, respectively, while
two samples from the wall rock went
$6.11 and 40 cents. A picked speci.
men from the dump went s235.25 pei
ton. The wall rock here also was
sampled. n going s2.49 and another
$4.04 per ton.
AS he Is putting up his W none,

sampling cold-bloodedly. and point,
to the results as proof of the excel
lent opportunities open for mining
men in that district.

ney if such a move would not result
in discontinuing the West Coast route.
Mr.. Whitney indicated that he rec
ognized this danger. His remedy or
preventive was that the people must
be so thoroughly taught the need Of
the route that their demand for it
would cause the roads to maintain the
route.
Mr.. Cheyney then inquired as to the
Elimits Of the territory east and west
from which travel would converge to
ECincinnati. Mr., Whitney answered this
iquestion @. in detail, showing a fan
shaped territory, with Buffalo and To-
rOnto on the eastern border line and
Chicago on the west, which city in
turn formed the gathering and dis
tributing point for large area far
ther west and northwest.
Mr.. Whitney then departed for his
home, and after a few remarks by
President Linn, the meeting was ad-
journed to meet next Wednesday, to-
morrow night, Jan. 8, in the Beard of
Trade rooms at 1880 o'clock, to d1s-
cuss the advertising proposition.
Altogether, it is felt that the initial
movement of the board of trade, in
trying to arouse interest in advertis-
ing the city as tourist resort has
| been success.
1t seems to be regretted, however,
that some interests tA&t should have
been represented at the meeting last
night, were absent. This is not at
tributed to any desire to hinder the
/ work, however, but rather to a lack of
realization of its Importance. When
/ the business men fully understand its
! importance it is to be expected that
they will all take part, and when they
do this we may expect the inaugura-
ton of work which will eventually
bring desired results.
A vas stated last night, we have
natural advantages, but these can not
of themselves build the town. They
must be used, and used inteIligently.
Let us all get together on this mat
ter. Let us crowd the board of trade
room tomorrow night, and if more
room is needed go to some place where
there is more room. But, at any rate
let us take hold and pull and push un-
til we have placed Tarpon Springs

qualification.
Mr.. Whitney spoke from the view
point Of one who has travelled and
learned from personal contact, of
what people want and how they reach
desired ends. He spoke at length on
the West Coast route. He told of his
work to secure the opening of this
route and of the results already mani
fest. He pointed to the need of equip
ment in Tarpon Springs and the ne
cessity of providing for the tourists.
He went into the details of tourist re-
sources and benefits. He pointed to
st. Petersburg as an illustration of
results attained through tourist trade.
st. Petersburg had cared for 10000
tourists for one hundred days. Figur-
ing that each one was obliged to spend
at least So per day "a very conserva-
tive estimate), this would mean $4,-
100000 to the city in that time. Was
it any wonder the city had four sub
stantial banks?
His arguments were convincing and
his listeners were in sympathy with
his thoughts. Mr.. Whitney has been
one of the prime factors in securing
the opening of the West Coast route
and his recommendation are we'll
received.
When he closed his address and
was seated he was loudly applauded.
In reply to Mr. Linn'S invitation to any
present to speak, John K. Cheyney
arose and stated that he wished to
ask Mr.. Whitney a question. Granted
the privilege, he prefaced his question
by stating that he was informed that
an organization had been formed of
business men of this state for the
purpose Of urging the government to
return the railroads to private man.

sion for good,
Mr.. Linn then announced a solo by
I. {. Barnum. Mr.. Barnum, ALWAYS a
pleasing singer, was in prime mood
for his part, and sang "On Honolulu
Bay" with such pleasing effect that
he was encored and responded with
When Yankee Doodle Learns to Par

then rendered by the orchestra, after
which, and while refreshments were
being brought, A. f. Kroner was call
ed on and sang Lucky Jim, which
captured his auditors in unconditional
surrender Mr.. Kromer's musical
abilities are too well known to need
comment. He was called back and
sang The Three Beggars."
Refreshments, in the way of coffee,
hot chocolate and sandwiches, were
served, followed by cigars.
F. E. Chidester was then called and,
with his usual pleasing effect, render
ed a beautiful saxophone solo.
President Linn then introduced the
speaker of the evening, L. A. Whitney
of St. Petersburg, and secretary of
the st. Petersburg board of trade, who
spoke at length.
We are unable to report Mr.. Whit
ney's address in detail. 1t was most
intelligent address on the merits of
advertising. Mr.. Whitney spoke in a
practical way of practical methods in
advertising. He has made this sub
ject of study for many years and has
considered it from every standpoint.
He put forward the thought that ad-
vertising brings results. when handled
IN an intelligent manner. Originality,
attractiveness and truthfulness in set
ting forth the thought were essential
elements. AN ad which would not
catch the consciousness of mind in
seven seconds was failure. People
are today of practical turn of mind.
Their desires must be considered, as
well as the ways and means for their
