SHOP MEN OBJECT
TO HIRING ALIENS

The Las Vegas shopcrafts of all
departments of the shops and yards
of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake
railroad have passed a stringent reso-
luton calling on those in authority
not to hire any persons who are not
citizens of the United States and to
replace these aliens now employed
with American citizens The reso-
luton demands in emphatic terms
the elimination of all aliens from the
shops of the Railway Administration.
The situation in Vegas is similar
to the situation in Sparks. There has
been no widespread agitation in this
city, but from talk cleaned on the
streets, it has been evident that there
has been considerable discussion in
at least one of the unions as to the
advisability of admitting the members
of one alien race in the union.
From what can be learned some
of the members of the union are
bitterly opposed to the admission of
the class named and threaten to take
out their cards if these aliens are
admitted.-[Sparks Tribune.

With several companions, he was
bathing in the Humboldt river east of

where the water is deep. But they
found they could not hold him up and
they all went down together. Delbert
Moore, one of the boys who was at
tempting to help Hubbard across.
finally succeeded in pulling him from
the water. Until this morning Hub

REVENUE AGENT To
STOP BOOTLEGGERS

War on San Francisco bootleggers
transporting liquor to Nevada to be
sold in the towns that have recently
experienced a mining boom, was de-
clared yesterday by +. c. Yellowley,
U. S. Internal Revenue agent in
charge of the local district Office,
states the San Francisco Chronicle.
Yellowley announced that he had
already sent large force of agents
to border towns to intercept bOot-
leggers and that another force to
supplement the first would soon be
on its way. Men caught transporting
liquor into Nevada, he said, would be
prosecuted under the Clayton act pro-
hibiting Interstate commerce in
LIQUOR from dry to wet state. He
added:
Information reaching my office
from the outside in the last two weeks
indicates that the liquor traffic into
Nevada at present is something tre-
mendous. The best indication of this
is found in the fact that in Tonopah
and other towns, liquor can be bought
in almost any quantity, and the price
is not much higher than it was in the
days before the state went dry.
From the tips we have received
there seems to be little question that
the bootleggers are San Francisco
men, buying in wholesale lots from
the whisky houses, having the stuff
carted to their apartments and flats
and there loading their machines for
the trip over.
Il have been told that they are
operating also with the use of code
messages, a confederate in Nevada
wiring to the bootleggers at certain
stations as to whether there is any
apparent danger. The various schemes
devised for the transportation of the
booze may be imagined from the fact
that while most of them openly load
their machines with whisky in Pint
and quart bottles, as many as twenty
five cases at a time, others have re-
sorted to the use of false copper
tanks intended to resemble gasoline
tanks beneath their machines. | can't
imagine how they can dispose of
some of this stuff, but as in all min
ing towns where excitement runs high,
there is apparently an extraordinary
need of stimulant in Nevada"
Much of the liquor being taken to
Tonopah and adjacent towns. Yellow
ley said was being shipped from San
Francisco via Bakersfield. Revenue
just this side of the Nevada border
bootleggers waited for two days, if
necessary, to get word from their con-
federates ON the other side of the line
that the coast is clear.
According to Yellowley, it is pos
sible, under the Clayton act. to con-
fiscate the automobile or other con-
veyance used for the transportation
of liquor On Friday night the re-
port went out among men supposed
to be in the bootlegging ring here
that 500 revenue agents had been sent
to guard the Nevada border For
awhile there was much excitement
while kilograms were sent to inter-
cept some of the messengers" at
various points along their route and
warn them to be careful. Yellowley
laughed at this yesterday:
THAT report was based on some
thing else in connection with this
Office" he said. II don't feel at liberty

COUNCIL CONFIRMS
ALL APPOINTMENTS

The city council held a recessed
meeting last night which lasted until
midnight, the main business being TO
determine upon appointments of city
employees.
First was read a letter of thanks
from the baseball club, thanking the
council for work done on the ball
grounds by the city truck and crew.
I'he clerk was instructed to bill the
ball club for actual expense of the
work
A representative of a carnival COM
pany appeared in an effort to induce
the council to literally interpret the
ordinance covering licenses for this
type of show. offering to pay the city
a blanket license of $25 a day, or to
conduct the carnival under auspices
of the firemen and donate to them the
s25 per day The council members
were of opinion it would not be good
policy to hold the ordinance provi-
sions lightly. thereby establishing a
precedent. A digest of the section
covering licenses for the carnival
company brought out that the correct
amount would be S73 per day. Before
he got through, the carnival represen-
tatiye became rather sarcastic in his
talk of the council. Winnemucca and
Wiun Tho oil oJe
were OF opinion that the ordinance
erected barrier to such attractions.
hut contended the correct way to rem
edy the matter would be TO amend the
section. This would take too long to
be of benefit to the carnival company.
Next came the reading of applica-
tions for appointments. Qualifications
of each applicant were thoroughly
discussed and in the end all of the
councilmen seemed satisfied that the
best persons for the positions had
been chosen.
Appointment of Raymond r. Nor
rison. effective June /, as driver of
the city truck and fire truck, was con-
frmed. The understanding was that
he will receive s125 per month and
will sleep in the hose house TO be on
hand to drive the fire truck in case
OF night alarms.
The appointment of city attorney
was passed. ii being understood that
Mayor Brandon will act in that capa-
city, without compensation.
Joseph Rougon was reappointed as
sewer inspector and fire warden, but
before the confirmation he came in
for condemnation for slight extrava-
gance in the maintenance of sewers
and for not prosecuting violators of
ordinances. both fire and building. He
promised to be more aggressive in
these matters in future.
The appointment of fire chief was
left open, il being decided to allow
the volunteers to pick their own man
and so recommend to the council. A
meeting of the fire department mem
bers has been called for tonight to
attend to the matter.
1t being decided that heavy bond
is sufficient to protect the city from
loss, the Offices of city clerk and city
treasurer were ordered consolidated
thus saving the salary now paid to the
treasurer. 1t was pointed out that no
funds can be paid out without au-
thorization of the council and there
fore the position of treasurer is one
OF little consequence. City Clerk
Frank Case stated he did not desire

DESCENDANT LOUIS
" DIES ON RANCH

The death of X. s. Hanson occurred
yesterday afternoon at o'clock at his
ranch two miles from Rebel Creek, in
Eagle Canyon, after an illness OF
short duration. He would have been
eighty years old June Z.
Mr.. Hanson came across the plains
as boy from his native state of Ohio
in 1852, with an immigration train
composed of OK teams. The family
settled in Napa Valley, California.
Twenty years ago he removed to
Humboldt county and southern Ore
gon, and had lived on his Eagle Can
yon ranch for about eight years.
Hanson was one of the descendants
and heir to the Springer estate at
Wilmington, Delaware, which consists
of most of that city, it is said. The
estate dates back to the time of Louis
", who was a brother to Springer.
Louis Nv became angry at his brother
and banished him from the kingdom.
The brother came to the United States
and assumed the name of Springer
he was granted the land which is said
10 now comprise a great part of the
city of Wilmington.
Hanson is survived by widow and
three sons, besides two sisters and a
brother who reside in California. Mrs
Hanson is prostrated because of his
death. The three sons are F. NJ. Han
son, employed by L. Reinhart Com
pany in this city; J. G. Hanson, who
lives on the Eagle Canyon ranch, and
c. +. Hanson, a wool man of Oregon
The body was brought here last
night by John Gulling of Ayers un-
dertaking parlors. The funeral will
take place at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon either from the undertaking
parlors or from the Methodist church
Rev Westervelt to officiate.

concerted action such as through
representative organizations to which
the government can turn for express
sions of opinion. at least by the
majority of the stock men as to their
needs and desires. this situation will
continue.
"Nevada's chance for voice as to
government regulation as it affects
not only the use of the government
ranges but legislation in general
affecting the live stock industry
appears to be knocking at the door.
The government appears to be anxious
to help the live stock men get in

any changes in existing regulations
