Wnnemucca Is Years Ago Today
From The Daily Silver State

Q The statement in a press dispatch, says the Virginia Enterprise. that
Q the movement suggested several years ago to petition Congress to make
9 a appropriation for driving a tunnel six miles long through the Sierra
Q Nevada range where the most trouble is encountered from snow block
o AIDES, is to be renewed, would result lin overcoming in great measure the
o present difficulty of keeping that part of the road open for traffic during
Q the winter. A tunnel only six miles sin length, however, would still leave
o a long line of road across the nov belt, subject to blockade. The dis
O lance from Cisco IN the west to Truckee on the east is twenty-seven
Q miles by rail. The most serious trouble from or the eastern slope
Q of the Sierras is between Tunnel 13 and the summit Tunnel 13 is only
@ six miles west Of Truckee, and to avoid danger of future b1ockades the
Q eastern end Of the tunnel should be three miles east of the summit, and
@ the western end would be only three miles west of the summit-a point
" ten miles east of Cisco, at which station snow falls to nearly as great a
@ depth rs on the summit. From this statements it will be teen that it
@ would still be necessary to keep up more than thirty miles of sheds to
Q prevent winter bockades. A survey made several years ago through
Q Beckwih Pass demonstrated that the Sierra range could be crossed
o without heavy grades, and the snowfall there is said to lever exceed a
o depth of three feet 1t would. of course. be impractcabe to utilize that
q pass in connection with the Central Pacific line, but the question arises
o whether it would not be cheaper to build a through line via the Beck

TWO HUNDRED AND TEN

n nd. Mitchell and
orth Counties

l. w. Brunt, of Decorah, director
OF the Census for the Fourth con-
gressional district OF Iowa has issu-
ed an S. o. S. call. Two hundred and
ten enumerators for the government
count to begin early in January are
reeded and applications are coming
in slowly.
Supervisor Brunt of this Fourth
district, which includes the counties
of Winneshiek, Allamakee, eerro
Gordo, Chickasaw, Clayton, Fayette,
Floyd, Howard, Mitchell and Worth
counties, states that he will need
about 210 enumerators for this dis
trict.
Applications or requests for ap-
plication forms should be sent to him
on or before Oct. %. His address is
Decorah, Iowa AS test of their
fitness for the work the applicants
will be required to fill out a sample
schedule and will be duly notified os
the time and place for this test. So
far as practicable the place selected
will be one which is easily accessible.
The work begins on Jan. 2. and
will last about two weeks in cities,
and month or more in rural dis.
tHctsss Rates of pay will vary, de-
pending upon the locality and
oh. 80 Af xf he rio 70 hn
vassed. The average pay per enumer.
ator at the census Of 1910 was abou.
$40. At this coming census it will
probably be not less than $1oO.
Active, intelligent, and reliable
men and women, not less than 1S
years of age, are needed for this
iask," said Mr.. Brunt, "and, in Il
sense, this is call for volunteers.
The Importance of a complete and
eliable census, especially in these
critical times when more than before
perhaps we need complete data re-
garding population, conditions
tendencies and resources, can hardly
be overemphaslzed. The reorgan1Za
tion Of the social and economic
structure and the readjustment of in
ternatioual relations necessitated by
the war must be based on accurate
knowledge if We are to act wisely
and deal justly with all classes and
all interests. 1t is hoped, therefore,
that public-spirited energetic people
thruout the country will volunteer
to act as census enumerators even
tho they may not care for the posi-
tions so far as the pay is concerned.
1 should be sorry to think, and I do
not believe that all our patriotism
was used up by the war and none
left over for public service in times
iCf peace"

IOWA's NEW PACKING PLANT.
Big Concern Opened at Dubuaue
Last Wednesday.

Dubuque, lathe long expected
event in the history of Corn Belt
Packing Company OF Dubuque has
come to pass.
The packing departments OF the
company are now in operation, and
each working day runs" of Iowa
hogs, cattle and calves are being put
through the big and splendfdly
equipped plant in Dubuque. TIE
packing departments of the company
were swung into operation, as prom
ised on Wednesday, October 18th. A
big run" of hogs and cattle was put
through on the opening day and the
size of the runs has increased with
each succeeding day.
Opening of Corn Belt Packing
Company's big new plant in Dubu-
que signalizes the beginning of al
important industry in Eastern Iowa,
which hitherto has been without a
meat packing plant. Millions of dol
lars year will be paid out by the
company in the purchase of Iowa
hogs, cattle and other live stock.
The new plant of Corn Belt Pack
ing Company is a model of it's kind.
1t is equipped with the best and lat
est machinery that money could buy.
1t has been working like a charm
ever since it was opened.
The plant as it stands today re-
presents value of we'll over $500.
900. 1t is an Iowa industry, backe
by Iowa men, and is expected to de-
velop into one of the big independ-
ent packing institutions OF the
country.

An Insult to Americanism.

The democrats of the Second Dis
trict in Nassau county, New York,
have nominated Elias Raft as a can
didate for the state assembly, in OPP
position to Theodore Roosevelt, who
was nominated by the republicans.
In his opening speech of the cam
paign, Mr.. Raft declared: my hat is
in the ring, and it isn't my fathers
hat, either" If that statement meant
anything at all, 1t was an insinuation
that Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy
was based upon the reputation of his
most distinguished father. That one
statement by Mr.. Raft should be
enough to defeat him. No one but !,
fool or a knave would accuse Theo-
dore Roosevelt of placing any de-
pendence whatever upon the reputa
tion of his father. His conduct in the
recent war was sufficient demonstra-
tion that he has personality of his
own-the ability, initiative and
courage of a full-fedged man. He
went to France early in 1917 inn
mediately after America entered the
war. That he did not seek n safe
position in the rear is demonstrate
ed by the fact that he was wounded,
cited for bravery. and awarded the
French Croix de Gurrie. 1t is safe to
predict that the people of the Second
District in Nassau county. New York,
will administer a fitting rebuke to
Mr.. Raff.

the officials declare.
The railroads have cniy recently
begun to store coal and have not
much of supply ahead nor will they
have on November I. Fac:ories. as
a rule, have not stored coal in any
quantity and most of the hotels and
electric power plants buy heir coal
from week to week so that they
would soon have to shut Town! The
same is true Of the schools which
are unable to store a su'ficieu. aup-
ply to withstand long cold spell.
Hence railroads, street cars and
business houses would be shut dow n
in less than month If the mines
close November l. Business would
therefore be completely par:aly1ed
A considerable number of household
ers have coal stored bat the aver
age supply would not last over
month to month and y half, il IS
estimated.
1t is announced from Washin :ton
that should miners obtl'n what
they are asking, increased wages,
a six-hour day and five days u week
of work, the price of coal would be
$3.50 per ton over present prices.
Not nearly so large q percent of
householders stored coal this past
summer as was true the Two preced-
ing summers. Under the stimulus
of threatened shortage because of
war conditions there was quite gen.
eral storing on the part Of railroads,
business concerns and householders
both in 1917 and 1918. With the
war over and the belief THAI condi-
tions were more nearly normal both
business concerns and householders
have gone back to their old prac-
tices quite generally of b1ytng only

Manufacturers Record: When the
President of the United States for
gets the constitutional provisions
which make the senate party to all
treaties and says he has no respon-
sibility except to the people, he is
appealing to the mob mind like a
lawyer who, having a weak case,
seeks by sentimentalism to control
the jury. Mr.. Wilson is too big 4
man, In justice to himself and to the
country, to have taken this position.
1t is not worthy of him, and certain
ly will not appeal to the sober judg-
ment of the country. When he at
tacks the opponents of the present
covenant as narrow and bigoted and
ignorant OF its meaning and seeks TO
hang them on gibbet, he displays a
degree OF temper which will of neces-
sity react on him and lower the ma
tion's regard for the high Office he
holds. Such statements might pass
from politicians on stumping cam
paign, but they are scarcely proper +?
be voiced by any president of the
United States.

What Happened in Alabama.

In 1916 the 7th Alabama district
gave Woodrow Wilson majority or
1904 in total vote of 1852 says
the Anamosa Eureka. Last week a
special election was held in the dis
trict to elect a congressman to fill
vacancy Charles B. Kennamer, re-
publican, was elected by a majority
of 10. He made the league of nations
his point of attack and won his cleo
tion on that fight, Notwithstanding
the fact that so per cent of the re-
turned soldiers of the district because
of race prejudice were disfranchised.
The democrats put up determined
fight to save their hides in the dis
trict, but the returns showed that
even the Southland will break away
from traditional habits and policies
to support opponents of the admins
tration program of internationalism.

woMANs POLITICAL ABILITY.
New York Paper believes All Doubt
As to Capacity Has Now Been
Removed.

Commenting on the conferences
which the New York women, under
the direction of Miss Mary Garrett
Hay, chairman of the Republican
Woman's National Executive Com
mittee, and Mrs. Arthur L. Liver
more, State Chairman of the Repub-
Iiican Woman's Committee, have
been holding recently, the New York
Sun says:
"If there was ever any doubt about
the skill and capacity of women to
band together for political action,
the splendid working organizations
effected by them in the struggle for
suffrage dispelled it. The advocate
and opponents of that reform dis
played genius for cooperation
which nobody ought to deny. 1t is
only to be expected that the same
gift will be exhibited in the political
associations women will enter now
the ballot is in their hands and they
are called on to perform the duties
of electors at the polls!
"A good many men and women
who fought against suffrage have de-
clared their belief that once the sex
was enfranchised its members would
not take the trouble to vote. To get
masculine voters to go to the polls
has always been hard job for party
managers. Probably the case will not
he otherwise with women. The
organizations to be perfected will
pave the way for this and thus will
be of the highest value to women in
general as we'll at to those who at
elections act with the Republican
party" ~
