ORMSBY WANTS
NEW BUILDING

Ormsby county Is going to have a
court house, something that the peo-
i pie and all the citizens can be proud
! of. This was the decision OF the
citizens who met with the Greater
Carson Club Monday night, says the
News.
At a meeting held a week ago Il
committee was appointed TO look over
the proposition OF bonding this conn-
ty for sum sufficient to cover the
proposition of bonding this county for
sum sufficient to erect a new court
house, and at the same time provide
a fund TO purchase site for the erect
ion of a memorial building to house
the various commissions that are new
scattered about this city. state ccin-
missions that will have to be retained
and will have to WORK for this state
for many years to come.
The committee having In charge the
program of feeling the public pulse
on bond issue for the erection of a
new county building interviewed most
OF the heavy property holders. There
were no ebjectors. They all realized
that II this county and city was to go
ahead that it must come up to the
Standard OF other progressive towns
and cities
When the committee reported the
question was put to all who attended
last nights meeting, not alone as club
members but as citizens, and the re-
suit was an unanimous decision to di-
rect the Legislative delegation from this
county to offer bill providing for
100000 bond issue. for new court
house. The die has been cast and this
bill will be introduced.
BY the issuing of bonds in the sum
of 100000 IL means that the old county
building and the entire block will be
taken down root and branch and that
a new building of modern pretentions
S
ton OF the city. Ii also means that
the buildings now occupied by business
houses will be vacated and tenents will
seek other places on the main street
The proposition Is 10 take over the en-
tire block and erect a building that
will correspond architectually with the
proposed memorial building. This will
make one OF the finest civic improve
ments OF any city in this state at the
same time this city and county will
have removed some of the oldest
buildings that are along main street,
buildings that face the capitol and
which are not an ornament in any
sense and which can we'll be spared.

Interesting Report of

Among the biennial reports issued
by state officers for the past two

plying for state funds.

the future for Nevada lands. with the
''Of the vast area of over 30 .000,-

Reno Stores
Back this Bill

A bill las been introduced in the
senate by Senator Cowles regulating
the closing OF certain places of busi-
ness at given hour each day. From
the fact that 1t bears the ear-marks OF
class legislation, we give space to the
bill as introduced:
Sec. l. All persons. copartnerships,
companies, association and corpora
tions carrying on or conducting any
retail mercantile business in the State
of Nevada shall hereafter close their
places of business not later than six
O'Clock p. m. daily on each and every
day except Sundays. and remain clos
ed until the following day.
Sec. ,. All persons. copartnerships.
companies. associations and corpora
|tions Carrying on or conducting and re-
|tail mercantile business in the State of
Nevada shall hereafter close their
places of business on Sunday. Sun
day, as used in this act. shall be de-
TINED as the period of time beginning
lat ~ o'clock Saturday night and end
ing at twelve o'clock D. m. on the fol-
lowing night
Sec. 3. This act shall not apply to
places of business conducted exclus-
lively as restaurants. cafes, drug
|stores. news-stands, ice-cream and con
fectionery stores, or cigar stores; pro-
vided. however. that where said busi-
nesses so enumerated are conducted
with business which must be kept
closed as provided in section ! and
of this act, the owner or proprietor
may keep open his place of business
for the purpose solely of conducting
the business herein specifically ex-
cepted
Sec. L. Any person. copartnership,
company. association and corporation
violating any provision of this act
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. and
shall be fined not more than two hund-
red t$2001 dollars or Imprisonment In
the county jail for not more than
thirty days, or both such fine and i'm
prisonment
See. >. This net shall not apply 10
cities and towns or villages where less
than three hundred votes were polled
at the last general election.
Eliminating Section S, the bill would
be favored by practically every rural
store in Nevada. However, in many
of the rural sections of Nevada. two
or more towns are in direct competitor
for business. One town may have less
than BOO voters. the other more

and we believe unconstitutional.
Bill for six o'clock closing five night
of the week, leaving Saturday as
shopping night for working men, and
Sunday closing, for all stores In Ne
yada, irrespective of locality, would
be a bill of merit, and not one giving
unlimited power to one store and and
denying all to the other.

Resolutions Of Respect.

Inasmuch as it has been the will
of God to remove from US by sudden
death, our neighbor, friend and
brother, R. H. McGaughey, who has
since early manhood been a member
of this grange, and at all times taking
leading part in every phase of its
work, laboring theoretically for the
"Good of the Order" as a business
organization for the social uplift of
the community and the promotion of
good fellowship in the community
Therefore it is :
Resolved, That in the death Of
Brother McGaughey the Church Hill
Grange has lost one of it's most I'M
firing workers and the cause of the
patrons Of Husbandry" over the en-
tire State suffers the lost of one Of
its most ardent supporters, who was
at all times ready and willing to give
his time and means for the good Of
the cause.
1t is resolved further, that by the
death Of Brother McGaughey; not
only this grange, but the community
has lost one of its most public-spirited
citizens, one who has for years been
leader in the advancement of his
county along agricultural, social and
educational lines; one who at all
times was ready and did give more of
his time for public enterprises than
for his private business, one who at
this time we can i'll afford to lost.
There was no better citizen than
Robert McGaughey, no sounder, finer
man, no truer gentleman. Although
short in years his life was full of good
to his kind. His influence and effort
were always for the betterment of
the race. His work-alimost his life
work-for the advancement of this
community was monumental, an en-
during and Incompatible benefactor
to his country, Truly, the good he
did lives after him and for all time
will bless his memory.
Resolved, That this grange extends
to the broken hearted family its sin
cerest sympathies in this the darkest
hour of their life and we can only
direct him for help from the One
Source from which cometh all real
blessings and in after years may his
children, some of whom are too
young to realize their loss try toI
emulate MS example as they shall
surely hear it from those who knew
and loved him best.
Resolved, That these resolutions
