 By Wilson Will Be Introduced Monday
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 9-The bud get bill which Chairman Good of the house appropriations committee --ex- poets to introduce in congress Mon day will be the same in essentials as the measure vetoed by former President Wilson: It will provide, however, for a budget bureau with both it's director and assistant ap- pointed by the president, MT. Good said, after a conference with the president The vetoed bill contained senate provision that the director should be the secretary of the treas ury with an assistant appointed by the president. The new bill, Mir Good said, would stipulate that congress shall have authority to remove the comptroller of the currency from of flee. In vetoing the old bill Hr. Will son objected to this clause on the ground that the removal power should remain in the hands of the president
 Mir. Good said he expected the sen ate again to insist that the secretary of the treasury direct activities of the budget bureau. He said Presi- dent Harding was impressed with the importance of inaugurating a bud get system. The budget bill will be given a place near the top of the legislative calendar he said.

 The amphitheater will be one of the largest ever built for open air boxing exhibitions. It will be three times the size of the arena construct ed for Rickard at Reno, New, where he staged the Jeffries-J Johnson bout on July 4, 1910, but not quite as large as that built at Toledo for the Demp- sey- Willard match.
 Both pugilists have been instructed to conform their training plans to the announcement made today. Dempsey will leave Seattle for this city on Sunday night and after attending to some personal business will settie down to serious conditioning. Car pentier will sail for this country early next month and will devote at least six weeks to hard training.
 It has not yet been determined where Dempsey and Carpentier will do their training. It appears to be the general. impression of those .n- terested that these camps will not be located at or near the scene of the bout Sites both on the sea shore and in the hill or mountain regions within a few hours ride of this city are under consideration.

DEEP SNOW HINDERS
MAIL CONTRACTORS

o. B. Gefeke, who holds the mail
contract between this place and
Bridgeport, returned to- town latd
Wednesday, evening after being out
two days on trip to the Mountain
House and return, a distance of l8
miles, says the Gardnerville Record.
He reports four feet and a half of
snow on the Double Springs summit,
fifteen miles south OF Gardnerville,
and in order to fight his way through
with the mail truck, he was forced to
shovel snow for the distance of two
miles. AT the Mountain House he
connected with the stages from Well
ington and Topaz, but connections
with Bridgeport have not been made.
At the latter place four feet of
snow was reported Wednesday after
noon and snow was still falling. A
mail carrier left Bridgeport Wednes-
day on snow shoes and carried the
pouch to a point ID miles this side of
that town, there to meet a stage that
will bring the mail to Gardnerville
AT Sweetwater 26 inches of snow was
reported Wednesday.
Last week a band of horses were
driven acknowledgement to Sweetwater
in an effort to open the road for horse
drawn vehicles. Mr.. Gefeke reports
that three big motor trucks are
showed in at Bridgeport and the
drivers were to attempt to plow
through the snow yesterday, but at
the time of going to press no report
of their progress had been received.
1t is the heaviest snow that has
occurred in the past four years and
the mail contractor has his hands
full trying to open the road in order to
maintain the mail schedule between
the two points.

THORNE NOTES

Thorne while out rabbit hunting re-
Gently, came upon human footprints
in the sand, apparently going towards
the foothills of the ellis range. He
followed the tracks but soon found
them obliterated by the wild horses
going to the lake for water. Mr..
Weems came to the conclusion that
the footprints were those of an Indian
searching for or creeping upon band
of wild horses. Though this hardly
explains the mystery, his friends agree
with his conclusions.
Bobby Overman, the son of Mrs
VIM. Weemsof Thorne, who is attend
ing high school at Reno, is spending his
Xmas. vacation at Thorne.

of the management of the Boerlin Ho-
tel. During my sojourn Of nearly a
month there this fall, | was not only
pleased with the very able service but
was rewarded whit good health and
found all the comforts of home.
would like specially to refer to the
excellent table provided by this house.
The food is appctizing, clean and prop
erly cooked. with always abundance in
sight. Before visiting here | had come
to the conclusion that ''hotel comforts
was only a myth, but at the Boerlin
Hotel | found it otherwise; | found
home comforts as we'll; consequently
improved in health and strength.
Let me say that no hotel or restau-

RICH ORE IN LUCKYBOY

The most cheerful news that has
come to Hawthorne for a number OF
years is that OF the recent strike IN the
Luckyboy mine.
a ledge from two to three feet
thick OF ore running from $500 TO
$500 per ton was uncovered last week
by leasers on block OF ground on the
800 level While the general average
of the ore is about $3.50 per ton. a mum
Der of samples have been brought TO
town that will run nito the thousands.
The lucky leasers are Ed, Haller,
Alvey Miller and Dave Lihn. and they
figure there is $4,000 already exposed
with every indication OF big ore body
few feet further west,
J. H. Miller informs the Bulletin that
he believes the present strike is a con-
tinuation of the big ore body worked
the company in 1908 between the 600
and 700 foot levels At the 7C0 the
ledge was lost and Mr. Miller Believes
that the present leasers have found it.
The company took out over 100000
between the 600 and 70c~ievels, and it
is not unlikely that the present leasers
are working on the nucleus of another
big high-grade ore body.
It's pretty good New Years gift to
the leasers and the community gener-
ally.

Nevada is Old Timer

If you are interested in the age OF
the region in which you live your
coriosity is now gratifed, says the
Elko Independent. This state and
Elko county are exactly $4,000 years
old. The passage of time was tackled
on eastern Nevada recently by ma
ture reader, man who finds stories
in mountains and poems in stones
Geologically speaking his name is one
to conjure with, but for the present it
must remain a secret, but for the pur-
pose of this story names are not es-
sential.
1t needs no nature reader to tell us
that hcreabouts once sparkled and
murmered the waters of great inland
sea. Recent articles appearing in the
state papers give the name of this
sea as Lake Lahontan and its western
state extremity lay along the border
of Pyramid Lake, although its surface
was 500 feet higher in the olden days.
Lake Lahontan was Approximately 900
feet deep and had an extreme expanse
of nearly 5000 square miles, which
means that it stretched from the west
ern shore of Pyramid Lake to nearly
the eastern border of Elko county
Our geological friend who recently
visited this part of the state found
the markings of an age extending
back $4,000 years. He came expect
ing OF remain but short time, but
remained for six days and each day
uncovered to his knowing vision new
wonders of the days when giant
animal growth We'd in development
with plant growth that in this day
and age overshadow our most magnif-
cient buildings and put to shame our
greatest vegetable and plant life.
Fossil formations indicate to him
things that transpired in the dark
ages. Near the city OF Elko, he
fonnd, occurred great. upheaval
The great sea found its easiest means
of outlet over the tops of Our noun
tains and the waters of Lake Lahontan
rshed into the vast Pacific. He discov-
cred strange formations on the earth's
surface and beneath it short distance,
formations yielding peculiar odor
and indicating to his expert gaze the
presence of strange minerals Near
that city, also, he discovered a deposit
of potassium salts, deposit that is
quite extensive and one that began its
steady transition in the olden days
$4,000 years ago.
1t is all very interesting, this thing
of konwing the age of the country in
which you live. And it is of certainly
more interest to speak with a mere
human, who has, by study and exper-
ience, learned the lesson of the noun
tain, the stream and the stone. The
classification of the earth's surface in
to ages, whereby men tell exactly
when land first came into being and
the exact age OF the surface OF the
earth over which we walk, is one Of
times most uncanny accomplishments,
but it is still more uncanny to speak
with one who has mastered the lore
of nature.

Japanese names are meaningless to
American ears. but to Japan they are
as significant as Mr.. Smith. Black,
waters or Johnson. "Toku" means
virtue. "Gawa," river: hence "Toku-
sawa," river of virtue. "Iye" is the
house prefix Of the head OF the line
OF Tokugawas. "Sato" means achieve
ment; hence "Iyesato." house of
achievement. The prefix "Iye" was
adopted by lyeyasu in 1903, the first
OF those Tokugawa shoguns who. as
defacto rulers of romantic feudal
Japan, gave tho empire uninterrupted
peace. prosperity and seclusion until
gun. resigned his titles and domains
