ELECTRIC PLANT AT CAMP OF
WONDER CLOSED; TOWN DARK

The public service commission has
granted the application of r. c. Lin
vile to discontinue electric service
for the town of Wonder. In the ap-
~plication for discontinuance Linville
states that but few people remain in
the mining camp, that there is no
call for mining power service, and
that in conducting a steam electric
plant he has lost money for several
months. There were no protests. 1t
is understood that the plant is to be
moved to Carlin, where it will be
placed in operation for the residence
section of that town. 1t was the in
tention to move the plant early last
fall, but bad weather upset the cal
culations.-IReno Gazette.

HOOVER, DEMOCRAT;
WOOD LEADS IN Cop

That General leonard Wood has, at
this time, a commanding lead in The
Republican presidential race. with
Senator Harding of Ohio a close Sc
ond. is the opinion of George b.
Thatcher, who returned to Reno last
Saturday from a months visit TO
Washington, New York and other
Eastern cities. Thatcher. in a state
ment published in the Reno Gazette,
said that his observations were that
William A. McAdoo and A. Mitchell
Palmer are the leading candidates in
The Democratic fight, their strength
being about equal. He is of the opln-
ion, however, that neither will be
nominated and that Herbert Hoover
will carry off the Democratic plum.
There is no denying the fact" said
Thatcher, that General Wood has a
good lead in the Republican fight at
the present time. The contest, to my
mind. is between General Wood and
Senator Harding. The business men
of the East are backing Harding. One
hears a lot about the candidacy of
Governor Lowden. Hiram Johnson
does not appear to me to have a
chance and together with a long list
of other ~'favorite sons who will be
nominated, will not figure long after
the first ballot is taken.
"On the Democratic side the fight
at the present time seems to be be-
tween McAdoo and Palmer. McAdoo
has a strong following, unquestion-
ably, but hasn't enough votes to land
The nomination. 1t will be remem-
bered that it takes a two-thirds vote
in the Democratic convention to nom
mate. a. Mitchell Palmer has a
strong following, probably equal to
hat of McAdoo. He stands very high
IN the estimation of the leaders of his
party in the East. There is a ques-
ton, however, as to what effect his
stand in the coal controversy will
have on organized labor.
81 think that the next Democratic
candidate will be Herbert Hoover, for
mer food administrator, and | believe
that he's the only candidate the Dem
ocrats can win with. Hoover un-
doubtedly is the second choice of
practically every faction and should
a deadlock develop he will be the
Democratic candidate. Hoover has
not and will not make any campaign
for the nomination, but he will ac-
cept it if offered him. And that's
what will hoppen, l believe"

CATTLE FROZEN IN HUMBOLDT
RIVER IN PERSHING COUNTY

Sixteen head of cattle belonging to
Frank Tester were drowned last
week in the Humboldt river, near
Lovelock, during the extreme cold
weather, says the Gazette. The ami
mails were pastured near the river
and during the night wandered down
to the river bank to drink. The river
was frozen over and the cattle went
out on the ice, which broke. Tester
found them the next morning. frozen
to death in the river. He skinned the
animals and sold the beef to ranchers
for hog feed.

annual estimates, proposed appropria-
tio9s Of virtually $1,000, ,O00,o 900 for
conducting the peace-time activities
OF the government during the hscal
year 1921. According to these figures
it will cost more than five times as
much to conduct the peace time affairs

Immediately preceding the world war.
The greatest individual estimates for
expenditures Of course, 60 to the army
