when both Main. and Center streets
VIII require paving in the most urgent

on the investment required and only
inability of property owners to paw
the initial outlay should be negative
argument.-Fallon Standard

The Board OF County Commissioners

all members present

to State Engineer Cottrell, in which
they protest the action of the Nevada
Construction Company, the firm which
has the contract for building the Walk
er Lake Highway, i'll building a por
ton o. the road over route which is
not approved by the Commissioners.
II appears that AT the place in question
two lines had been run by the engi-
neers. known as the upper and lower
lines. The difference in the cost OF
construction of the two routes will ap
proximate $4,000.
The contractors assert that they
made their bids with the understanding
that the lower line was the one to be
built while the commissioners claim
that neither route has as yet been
chosen by MIR. Cottrell. The lower
road, which is favored by the con
tractors and opposed ty the commits
sioners, is, in addition to its being
more expensive, dangerous one. be
ing near the edge OF an overhanging
cliff. and one that will be source of
expense for upkeep.

sale OF County property at Rawhide

How Mint BUYS Gold.

The mint buys gold in any form,
whether coined or not. when presented
in sums to the value Of $50 or more.
The face value of coins is not con-
sidered, only their weight and purity.
An equivalent amount of lawful money
is given in exchange. Theoretically.
the gold Is coined and handed back TO
the owner without charge. In practice,
as a matter Of convenience and TO
save time. the mint simply buys the
gold and pays its full coinage value
that is, what 1t will be when coined.

WOOD STRENGTH GROWS THROUGH LOWDEN LOSSES
Especial to The RepubIican)

CHICAGO, June 1O-One of the dra- matic features of the convention to- day was the seating of the negro poli- tician, Henry Lincoln Johnson, as na- tional committeeman from Georgia. After a poll of the Georgia delegation Johnson stood in the aisle demanding support and yelling lustily as he was finally seated.
 In direct contrast in the way of an amusing development was the boom of an Oklahoma oil king, Jake Ham m0nd of Oklahoma City, for the presi- dency. He will probably get 16 votes on the first ballot.
 The lobby of the Congress hotel is ringing tonight with the bands and campaigns of the various candidates. The Columbus CiIee club of 50 voices. here supporting Harding, has sung in political campaigns since the famous Blaine campaign. It is probable Hard ing will get about 100 votes on the first ballot.
 The senatorial group opposed to
 Wood is apparently going to try out various candidates against him on the first three ballots, but if he shows a consistent gain of these ballots, his chances for nomination are excellent. The sidelights of the convention to- day have been full of interest. The ladoption of the committee on reso1u- tions is regarded as a. concession to the views of Senator Johnson and has greatly cleared the atmosphere. It is reported that this plank was written
 by Elihu Root for use in case of need. i It is now evident that on the first i ballot Wood will get from 290 to 31O votes. Lowdens strength is. admitted : l ly weakening and the admission by the | Chicago Tribune that his chances are i fading has dampened the ardor of the Lowden supporters.
 Actual balloting on candidates is eX- I pected to start Friday afternoon. I Governor Allen of Kansas will mako | the speech putting General Wood in nomination.
 Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania is being groomed by the senate group | for a hard fight against Wood on the second or third baUnt

NATIONAL UNREST DUE TO UNBEL|EF
 ASSERTS SPEAKER

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo, June 10-Bishop Irving r. Johnson, speaker at the banquet tonight of the National Wholesale Grocers' association, star tied his audience with an impassioued arraignment of what he declared were the causes of national unrest.
 "Corporations are things without fear of heTH he told the convention. and labor unions are in the same class. They have nos hope of heaven. They want their wages now. l will tell you what is the matter with Amer ica-the average citizen thinks it is his business to patronize the Almighty. What this nation needs is not lot of theory, but motive. and the posses sion of talents does not exempt one from the use of them
 Other speakers at the banquet were Lieut. Governor Geo. Stephan of Colo rado, Senator Charles $. Thomas, Judge II. C. Lunt of Colorado Springs, toastmaster, and Samuel il. Kinsley, also of this city.
 The fourteenth annual session of the association is drawing to q close. To- morrow will be the last day and much important business has been reserved for it.
