SECTION HANDS, COCKTAIL
is MIGHTY POWERFUL DRINK

Wood alcohol, corrosive sublimate
and ginger ale make swell cock
tail. But it must be used with juris
prudence. Joha Melandez, a Mexican
section hand. who partook of the bev-
erage Tuesday evening. without the
aforesaid Jurisprudence, will testify
to that. AS a result of his over-ex-
aberalce he was lodged in the county
jail and yesterday upon coming up
for hearing before Justice of the
Peace Ritchie. pleaded guilty to
drunkenness and was fined in the sum
of thirty dollars. That the Mexican
survived the dose is miraculous, as
it was determined at the drug store
where the alcohol was purchased that
enough corrosive sublimate had been
mixed with the alcohol to kill any
ordinary man-but MelandeZ did not
feel like an ordinary man-until after
his interview with the judge.

NO RATIFICATION At
THE NEXT ELECTION

That there will be no state wide
referendum at the general election
this fall on the act of the Nevada
legislature in ratifying the prohibition
amendment to the constitution of the
United States was made certain by
supreme court proceedings says the
Carson News. BY stipulation between
the attorneys interested in the case
the alternative writ of prohibition
heretofore granted in the action
brought in the name of A. +. Lasher,
Washoe county taxpayer, against
George Brodigan. secretary of state
was made permanent and preemptory.
This writ prohibits the secretary
of state from submitting the question
to the voters at the next general cleo
ton and from certifying the matter
to the various county clerks in ac-
cordance with the petitions filed in
shis Office in December of last year and
January of this year.
Yesterdays action in filing the
stipulation was taken as the result
of a recent decision of the United
States supreme court wherein ii was
held that ratification of a proposed
amendment to the constitution of the
United States by legislature is not
subject to a referendum of the voters
of the state; that the constitutional
provisions requiring ratification by
not referendum by the voters. This
indicated clearly the final outcome
should the case started in the Ne
vada court be fought to and through
the court of last resort in this
country.

MIDAS TO PRESENT

MIDAS Gold Circle District) June
16.-The question as to who will be
the next President of the United
States may be agitating some COM
munities, but outside of news re-
garding the latest topic of interest in
the mines, the chief topic of interest
in Gold Circle is Mrs. Briggs of the

senled at the Midas auditorium on
Friday. June Is.
Not only has everybody in camp

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Maule, of Benz

make his debut as an actor. Besides
these, various couples will come from
Winnemucca, Golconda, Battle Noun

cool of the morn after the dance
which follows the play.
Something which was not written
in the play is due to happen and is
here told in strict confidence with
the injunction that it is to go no
further. Much secrecy was at first
observed regarding the play and the
news hound, whose business it is to
find out what is going on, was un-
able for time to set any details.
One young matron who acknowledged
she was going to take part, said she

ANOTHER NEVADA
IDAHO ROAD URGED

According to advices received at
Elko from Twin Falls, Idaho. tangi-
BILE indication of the early construc-
tion of southern outlet for Twin
Falls has been placed on file with the
county recorded in articles of incor-
poration of the Idaho Central Rail
road Company.
The purpose of the incorporation
according to the articles, is the COP
struction of steam or electric rafs-
road from Rogerson, Idaho. to Wells,
Nevada, a distance of approximately
ninety miles The authorized capitali-
zation is $5,0O00,000.
The Idaho Central railroad has
been in project several months and
received financial backing by the
bankers and business men of the
Twin Falls district. 1t means an out
let to the south. connecting at Wells
with an established rail line east and
west to that point 1t will probably
result in causing the extension of the
present MIinidoka- Buhl branch OF
Oregon Short Line west from Buhl
to the main line of that road at
Bliss.

FIRE THREATENED
ILL|PAH OIL DRILL

After the second shift had quit
work on Monday night at the well
{, the Iliipah Basin Oil & Gas Com
pany, and while all the men were at
away, a fire was observed at the
plant The Ford car was pressed
into service and in a few minutes
part of the crew arrived at the well
and soon had the fire under control
The fire, ii is presumed, started from
the fire under the boilers, which had
not been extinguished. About eight
cords of wood were burned. a por-
ion of the platform and a piece of
hose, none of which was essential in
the operation of the plant. A truck
was immedia tely sent to Ely for lum-
Der to repair the platform, which was
on its way to the we'll early Tuesday
morning. Had it not been for the
service of the Ford, which carried
the men to the well in record time,
and favorable wind. the loss would
have been serious, but, as Secretary
Foster said, 1T was a most fortunate
fire. as but little damage was done"
The plant was in working order Tues
day afternoon and has been pounding

BUTTON TELLS Of
Cop. CONVENTION

+. j. Button, one of Nevada's dele
cation to the Republican convention,
returned to his home here this morn
ing from Chicago. He said he had
the time of his life while away.
Leaving here on the California Spe-
cial or Johnson Special, with Judge
Curler of Elko, Judge Norcross of
Reno and Whitman Symmes of Vir-
ginia City. Button was taken care of
by the Californians until he reached
Chicago. The Johnsonites treated
him royalty, Button said, and gave
him plenty to eat and plenty of liquid
refreshments. The Californians
would not permit the Nevadans to
spend cent on the trip.
Mayor Rolph of San Francisco
greeted Button as he stepped on the
train here. introduced himself and all
others on the special, land he is one
of the finest men | have ever met"
said Button. when we arrived in
Chicago he took us in his automobile
and we headed the Johnson parade.

any candidate in Chicago

mind to support any Presidential can
didate who was a Western man and

The Silver State this afternoon. II
was told Hiram was radical man,
but the only thing radical was that
he was against the League of Nations.
| have talked with a great many men
while away. and at least two-thirds
are against the league.
Il thought that If we could get a
Western candidate that we would be
better recognized in Washington.
There are a great many things that
might be done TO help Nevada; the
Humboldt river might be straight
ened. which would be of enormous
value for both Humboldt and Perish
ing counties. Also there could be
reservoirs made for storage of water.

care nothing for the welfare of the
West. / believe some of them don't
know there is such a state as Nevada
on the map. The Western delegation,
however. was hopelessly split
while | could not get Western
candidate. we have selected clean
candidates, both for President and
Vice-President. And we are going to

Il have talked with a good many
men since | left, both Republican and
Democrat. and all seem sick and tired
of the present administration.
"The Coliseum presented a wonder
full sight after nominating speeches
were finished for Wood and Harding.
Thousands of flowers were released
from the ceiling of the building after
Woods name was presented and
again for Harding. The thousands OF
flowers presented q beautiful sight
while in the air. 1t required an hour
and half to quiet the crowd when
Hardings name was put in nomina-
tion. 1t was a wonderful event and
wouldn't have missed it for a good
deal.
I'm well satisfied with the final
selections and will take off my coat to
help elect them. Harding is a very
strong man and there's nothing can
be brought against him. Coolidge
the Republican party can be proud.

"THE POOR SIMP"

When Melville Carruthers decided to
propose to Grace Adams it'was the;
most momentous decision he had ever
arrived at. So, armed with a large,
luxurious bunch of orchids and a
Pomeranian pup, he sailed forth.
When he arrived at the house, he
had forgotten what he wanted to say
and after looking at Grace's father
he forgot what he had d'come for.
Then Melville felt blue. and went
in search of adventure. He found it
in the shape of nice bump on his
head, caused by violent contact with
an empty bottle in the hands of an
irate gangster. Then Melville decided
life was too strenuous, anyway, and
he would put an end to'his share of
it. When he found all his friends not
only ready but eager to help him, he
was a very clean-minded chap, he
changed it every few minutes. Then
the excitement comes: thick and fast.
Owen Moore will be seen as Melville
Carruthers in his latest comedy, "The
Poor Simp," at the Opera House on
Wednesday might. l. -

NEW EXPRESS RATES NOT
~. in EFFECT in s. G: YET

:
Columbia, Oct. 23.-The advanced
express rates already effective in
other states, have not as yet been al
lowed in South Carolina, but it is
probable that the South Carolina Rail
road commission at its regular meet
ing on Wednesday of this week, will
take some action for disposing of the
matter SO far as it effects South Car
olina. &c.,. = .. -.
It is thought likely that the COM
mission will issue an order allowing
the rates to take effect. If the rate
advance is refused, the interstate
commerce commission will have the
right to reverse the, decision. There
has been ssme question as to certain
commodities under the new advance,
but to date nothing has been deter
mined by the state commission. -
The advance became effective on
interstate business and on intra-state
express in many states on October Is.
This is the second increase granted
the express company in recent weeks,
the first of twelve and a half per cent
and this being thirteen and half.
