RENO, Nevada.-One week out from
New York, the first craft of the new
aerial transcontfnental mail service
arrived in Reno a few minutes before
six o'clock THURSDAY evening. attract
ing not nearly so much attention as
one might expect. To be plane about
the matter (pun automatically sug-
gestedD the people seem to be tiring
rapidly of these transcontinental and
other kinds of expensive national joy
rides.
Two strange airships have been
seen above Reno this week. Your cor
respondent failed to get any informa-
ton as to what they were. The new
Curtiss airplane owned by AL Francks.
which took header into the race
track on its third flight, is said to
have been more seriously damaged
than was at first supposed. The
owner and his instructor and mechan
ician are reported to have accom-
panied certain parts of the machine to
San Francisco for repairs Ito the
parts, not the men).
When the brand-new all-metal air.
ship failed to arrived in Reno on
schedule time Thursday afternoon,
fellow in one of the newspaper foun-
dries here was mean enough to remark
that perhaps the thing had become
"elkoed" Let US hope Friend Hale
does not see that while he is away on
vacation-and start right home.
A new partnership announced
Wednesday is styled King, Malone &
Henderson, civil, hydraulic and min
ing engineers. Tom King and George
Malone have been in the business in
Reno four or five years. V. NJ.

ber, is we'll known in Reno and Ely.
at which latter place he was instr,Ic-
tor in the school of mines.
A telegram from Goldfield said j. i.
darcy, mining superintendent, would
file for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator. William T.
Mcneil, who some time ago published
the now defunct Nevada Homebuilder.
is out with a neat four-page folder
announcing his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination as Representa-
tive in Congress. 1t appears today
(although nobody should be rash
enough to predict what may happen
before time for filing has expired)
that other alleged aspirants for the
Congressional nomination have been
deferred by the Unexpectedly strong
support which has developed for
Samuel S. Arentz, the miner-rancher-
engineer candidate, who announced
himself some time ago and is now
canvassing the eastern part of the
state Arentz possesses certain quail
fications for the practical representa-
ton of his state which can be matched
by no other man who has been men
toned, and newspapers are approv-
ingly taking notice of this fact. Tas-
ker l.. Oddie, former governor of Ne
vada, will announce his candidacy.
probably Friday afternoon, for the Re-
publican nomination for United States
Senator. Even if there are no more
candidates for this highest Office, the
primary race for the nomination will
be wonderfully interesting.
Reno presents a somewhat queer
appearance with numerous boarded
up show windows in the business sec
ton. An aggravating phase of the
situation appears to be that no as
surance can be obtained of prompt
filling of orders for plate-glass.
"Shortage!" that old chestnut. pops
,ight out of the fire without waiting
to be pulled Some humorous signs
are beginning to appear on the opaque
window coverings. Certain forms OF
damage from Monday mornings eX-
plosion. which were not noticed at
first. are now becoming manifest.
Among these are extensive peeling OF
stucco from the Nixon building, which
would seem to make an entire new
covering a necessity. In some places
fancy marble trimmings were dam
aged so as to require replacement.
