Mrs. Bass Tells Of Improved Outlook

New York, Sept. 23.---Mrs. George Bass,

the Democratic National Committee,
has returned from tour of the West during
which she conferred with Democratic
leaders and made number of speeches.
for Governor Cox She addressed meet
ing of $500 men and women in Louis

Republican managers in Illinois and
Wisconsin," said Mrs. Bass, "are un-
happy over the internal differences aris-
ing from the primary elections. In Chicago
the Republican party seems to be in a
bad way through factional bitterness
aroused in the primary campaign and
which bids fair to make the State election
more uncertain than the Republican
managers enjoy.
Wisconsin is in somewhat the same
condition owing TO the nomination of a
LaFollette candidate for governor. This
has aroused the resentment of different
factions whose quarrels may make pos
sible the election of the Democratic
nominee, Mccoy"

HANDBOOK FOR ELECTRICAL
CONSTRUCTION IN THIS STATE

Rules for construction of overhead
and underground electric lines in the
States of Nevada soon will be issued
by the Public Service Commission in
the form of booklet Of approx
mately 40 pages The rules were
prepared and submitted by joint
engineering committee representing
the commission, power. sicnal. and
labor interests. as rrs.4lt of a meet
ing held in Reno few months ago.
The book will serve not only as
guide to Nevada requirements of
electrical utilities, but also as
handbook of reference Tor electrical
engineers, as the appendices contain
great deal of valuable information
of technical nature. All features
of electrical ccrsu uction are covered
in the rules. which are considered the
equal. at least. of any state in re-
quirements that will promote safety
of electrical workers.

NEW SEM|-MONTHLY

The Southern Pacific company has
pleaded not guilty in second suit
that has been filed against it for vio-

law. says the Sparks Tribune. This
time the district attorneys office filed
suit on complaint of AL Lohre, who
charges that he was dismissed from
the service of the company and has
not been paid the money due him.
The case has been set for trial today

MUCH DOUBLE TRACK
FOR S.P. AVAILABLE

The work of double-tracking the
Southern Pacific over the Sierra Ne
vada mountains will be continued
next year. predicts the Sparks Trib-
une. This work has reached such a
stage that with very little effort a
large amount of double track can be
placed in service. During the past
season General Manager Dyer has
caused the construction Of a consid-
erable mileage of siding, built ac-
cording to mainline specifications,
which can be joined up to give the
system a continuous double track
from Sparks to Andover.
The increase in the number OF pas
senger and freight trains that are
handled over the hill causes the dis
patchers to use all their ingenuity
to keep trains anywhere near sched-
ule time. Delays are particularly
felt in freight train schedules, fol
these slower trains have to take tC
sidetracks for a full twenty minutes
before passenger train is due, and
1t makes the work of getting over
the hill a slow process for the heavy
trains. Double tracks would consid
erably increase the speed that trains
are able to make between Blue Can
yon and Sparks.

STATE STANDS HIGH
IN BUSINESS SENSE

During recent days the matter oi
business prospects has achieved CON
siderable attention and many quea-
tions have been asked by The Silver
State of men who are in position to
know as to what may be expected IN
the matter OF price reductions and
general business outlook. 1t seems to
be a general thought that the United
States is passing through a natural
period of reconstruction and that the
spirit of uncertainty on the part OF
buyers will have bad effect only for .
short time.
The manufacturer has gone through
his period of loss and now takes the
position he will manufacture at q
cost not higher than he can obtain
for his goods or will close down. It
is now time for big wholesalers and
metropolitan stores to worry, and
some of them are hard hit, not so
much by reduced prices as by lack of
business caused by stop in buying
on the part of the public.
In some lines it is thought specu-
lation would result profitably, as
goods are being sold at prices less
than cost and less than 1t will re-
quire to replace. Some are Of opinion
slight reaction will be felt in the
matter of prices. t4,
Labor is a matter that must be re-
adjusted, some crafts now oyerpaid
and others underpaid to be naturally
brought TO an equal footing by refusal
of the buying public to purchase high
priced goods manufactured by high
priced labor, and vice versa.
That depression is felt now is nor
denied, opinion varying as to how
long it will last. some saying two
months and others six. But all say
that when readjustment is effected we
may expect prosperity in a degree
that will be greatly pleasing.
A statement yesterday concerning
conditions in Nevada is of interest
The question was put to a well known
travelling salesman in whom conf
dence is placed. He said Nevada mer-
chants are practically ell in good con-
dition financially, with good stocks
carefully bought and on which loss
should be kept to a minimum. They
have all been reducing stock for some
time for two reasons. the first of
which is that inventories will soon be
taken and the second is in anticipa-
tion of lower prices. Several are
conducting pre-inventory sales. No

large city stores, because of smaller

ALICE WILL RE-ENTER
NEWSPAPER STRIFE

Alice Haworth, who for a long
time after the death of her husband
engineered the fortunes of the Battle
Mountain Scout. called at The Silver
State Office yesterday. Mrs. Haworth
is going into the newspaper business
again In Nevada, sometime when her
health and strength have been fully
regained Her future newspaper will
be Republican one = unless she
changes her mind. She is now
schoolma'am at Mill City, and she
declares that suburb of Winnemucca
is a fine place to recuperate. She is
growing stronger and more energetic
week by week. she says.
Alice Haworth loves the smell of
ink. One can detect that passion the
moment the lady steps into a print
shop. Her head goes up, nostrils di-
late. and eyes. sparkle. She looks for
all the world like a persona Ne
vada person-who has been East for
a long time. when that person first
catches a glimpse of Nevadas bald
hills and sagebrush plains, upon re-
turning to the state.
It's Just like the lure of the desert.
this smell OF printers ink. Once a
lover of the delicious peculiar tang
always lover; and homesick lover
without it. Mrs. Haworth conducted
the Scout, and did it well, adverse
conditions and impaired health con-
sdered. No doubt she will make
some Sagebrush community hum
when she resumes the (Republican)
editorial regalia.
She has been visiting at Battle
mountain, and says that town has not
for years looked as prosperous as 1t
does now. She says a much-needed
physician has located there; the old
Betty O'Neal mine has been unwatered
and high-grade silver found at the
bottom. just as its old-time owner.
Getchel, said would be the case. The
son. Noble Getchel, is operating the
property now.
Another important improvement at
Battle Mountain which Mrs. Haworth
mentions is the new hospital which
has just been opened there. This in
stitution was financed. she says, by
G.. w. Southworth, manager of the
Jenkins estate, and it is a thing Of
which all Lander county is proud.

WHOLESALE HOUSES
CANNOT COME HERE

The Sparks Tribune takes up, in
vigorous style, the all-important mat
ter for Nevada of getting away from
discriminatory railroad rates. An ed
itorial in a recent issue, which should
be emulated by every newspaper in
the state, is as follows:
Every individual and firm in the
state should get behind the Public
Service Commission in its efforts to
see that the State of Nevada is treat
ed as fairly as other states in the
Union in the matter of freight and
passenger rates.
The development of Nevada has
been immeasurably retarded by the
fact that this state always has been
Disseminated against in the matter
of rates and fares.
There is no possibility of large
wholesale house establishing itself
in this state, to take care of the
large business that belongs to this
district, on account of the fact that
freight rates are such that Coast
firms can ship goods into the state
more cheaply than local concern
can get the same goods from the
East. The back-haul clause never
has been eliminated, and on top of
that the freight rate quotations are
all higher.
Much assistance can be given the
Public Service Commission by the
people of the state, and commission
that has the moral backing of all
the people is in a better position to
conduct a fight for equitable rates
than one that is the subject of attack
from it's own constituency.
The future of Nevada will be made
within the next few years. If leth-
argy characterizes our every action
then the state will stay in the rut /;
but if every public movement re-
ceives the Endorsement of the entire
citizenry then we will get out of the
rut and will progress rapidly and
permanently.
And the best way to start this
progress is to get behind the Public
Service Commission in it's efforts to
secure just freight and passenger
rates for the State of Nevada.

De LONG ADVOCATES
USEFUL MAIL ROUTE

Establishment of a mail stage route
from Quinn River Crossing to piute
and voting precinct at veryville are
advocated by Alta L. De Long, who is
in the city on homestead matters from
his ranches at Leonard Creek and
Bartlett Creek. De Longs reasons
are that about twenty-five voters lost
their vote last month because of an
automobile breakdown and the fact
that ranchers and miners in his part
of northern Humboldt county are
lucky If they receive any part of their
mail.
The mail stage is uppermost in De
Longs mind as he believes such an
accommodation would make approx
mately fifty people in his district
supremely happy. His proposed route
would be about forty-five miles each
way. going from Quinn River Cross
ing and taking in Leonard Creek.
Bartlett Greek, Veryville, and swing
ing north to Dyke and ending at
Piute. He says people there are de-
pendent on teaming outfits for their
mail and even If the stage made only
one trip week the benefits would be
greatly appreciated.
De Long expects the petition for
voting precinct at Veryville will be
placed in the hands of the county
commissioners at proper time.

ANNOUNCES FINE
PROSPECTORS' SHORT COURSE

A Bulletin of Short Courses for
Nevada Prospectors, issued by the
University of Nevada, has come off
the press. 1t outlines the excellent
courses which the university offers
for a month beginning January II,
1921. This short course is open to
any man or woman interested in
prospecting. The only charge is a
small enrolment fee of SIS to cover
miscellaneous expenses, including
supplies and chemicals used in DEM
onstration in the various course.
The bulletin gives a detailed state
ment of the subjects which are to be
treated.
The faculty of the Mackay School
of Mines, assisted by representatives
from some other university depart
ments, are offering this course at the
time of year which they calculated
would be best for prospectors to
gather at Reno for a months con-
densed instruction.

HEADON MEET FATAL
TO 0LDW.P. .EMPL0YE

In a headon collision between two
track motor cars Monday evening. a
short distance from Salduro, Utah.
II. c. Maxon. Western Pacific division
engineer, was killed, and NJ. ii. Kill
gore, roadmaster OF the fourth dis
trict of the eastern division. received
injuries about the head. He is now
in Salt Lake City hospital.
According to reports received by
the railroad Offices at Elko, Maxon
and Kilgore were on a tour Of in
spection, having left Salt Lake City
early Monday morning. They had
reached the station east of Salduro
at high rate of speed, without lights.
when they met track motor car
driven by w. NJ. Buswell, an employe
of the Utah state highway commits
sion. who had been to Wendover for
supplies and was returning to the
road camp near the railroad. The
cars met headon about three-quarters
of mile east of Salduro, and the only
account of the collision is that given
by Kilgore after he had reached the
hospital at Salt Lake City, says the
Elko Free Press.
He said 1t was quite dark and nei-
ther he nor his companion saw the
approaching car. as ii was without
lights, and the first thing he knew
he was on the ground by the side Of
the tracks. He was not rendered un-
conscious After examining Maxon
he realized that help must be OBJ
tanned Immediately, and walked to
the station.
A special train was sent out from
Wendover, and when the surgeon ar
rived he found Mr.. Maxon still alive,
but he expired shortly shortly after
he was picked up. about $50 o'clock.
His skull had been fractured and he
had never regained consciousness.
Mr.. Kilgore's injuries were found
to be principally scalp wounds, which
required twenty-one stitches to close.
He will be out of the hospital in a
few days.
The man on the other speeder was
not injured, as he evidently saw the
approaching car and jumped. and al
though he was seen about the station
when the relief train arrived, for
some unexplained reason no effort to
get a statement from him was made.
1t is rumored. says the Free Prsss.
that the second speeder had no right
on the track at that time of night,
and if this be true then it is likely
that Buswell will be arrested on a
charge of manslaughter; but moth
ing regarding any future action can
be learned until the return of Super
intendent O'Connor, who is now on
the ground investigating.
Mr.. Maxon went to Elko in 1908
and until 1910 was assistant division
engineer. being transferred to the
western division in 1910. He returned
to Elko in 1918 and served as assist
ant division engineer until the trans
fer of Mr. Ballentyne last July, when
he was promoted to division engineer.
He was unmarried. Two sisters live
in California. and the remains were
sent to Oakland yesterday.
Mr.. Kilgore has been resident of
Elko county for twenty years. and
was roadmaster out of Elko until 1918
when he was transferred to the Salt
Lake division. He married Miss Nc
Mullen of Starr Valley, and they lived
in Elko for many years. He is known
to practically everone in Elko county.
