If he is helped by any human

That he has created a real sensa-

IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO BE
MADE TO OVERLAND HOTEL

The Overland hotel in this city Is
to be added to by an additional
story, according to Antoine Lau-
cerica, owner of the property.
Three stories are necessary even at
this time, according to statements
made, if the demands for accommo-
dations at the hosiery are TO be
fully met. Present plans contem-
plate twenty-eight additional rooms
as the result Of adding the third
floor.
It is estimated that approximately
$40, 900 will be the cost of the inn
provements to be made and the
work that will be involved in the
new construction will probably be
started some time in June of this
year.

children are in the family of Mr..
and Mrs. Arentz, ST..
This golden wedding affair leads
to the reflection that the family
connections of the Hon. Sam are
nerhaps not 50 well known in Ne
vada as they should be, If he Is
"a run for Senator this year. A
brief resume will not be out Of
place at this time.
The paternal grandfather was
Samuel Arentz. He arrived at
Chicago in 1912, from Norway.
He established. the first hardware
store at the Windy City which was
then only a frontier post Chi has
since been called the Marvel of
the occident. It's a marvel all
right, but apparently the Occident
has moved West ever since the
second great fire in 1878, and its
longitude doubtless is in the neigh
borhood of the Winnemucca merid-
ian nowadays
The maternal grandfather, Peter
Shaw, arrived in Canada in 1882.
He was educated as q military en-
gineer, and spent his life at teach
ing farming. An interesting side
light on this brach of the family
is that Peters brother John had
charge of the construction of the
first suspension bridge at Niagara
Falls.
Congressman Arentz's brothers
are known TO many Nevada people.
One is a rancher in Smith Valley.
One attended the University OF Ne
vada. The sister at whose home
the celebration Is to be held April
Il is the wife of a Chicago manu-
facturer. Mrs. Fred Johns, an
other sister, lives at Oak Park and
is the wife of a Chicago banker.
1t has been recited often enough
that Sam Arentz left home before
he was of age, determined to be-
come q miner and an engineer
and that he worked his way through
college. He has been working
his own way ever since. He Is
Nevada's lone Representative IN
Congress, and he has made q place
for himself during his first year
He is reported by all his colleagues
as a man of force and character
Witness his appointment on this
select committee. Witness also his
contest during his first month In
Congress when, after committees
had been announced, he demanded q
place on the committee on Mines
and Mining because he thought tina,
was where he belonged, and wher
he was said to have been the first
man in Congress who ever induced
Walsh of Massachusetts, to change
his mind.
Sam AREN'T will have the unani.
nous support of the Senatorial
committee if he is nominated for
Senator. 1t appears that for reas-
ons which are quite well understood
certain interests in Nevada are cir
culating the rumor that Nevada
Republicans will have no assistance
from the National Republican COM
mittee this year. This is quite true
If financial assistance is what ID
meant The National Committee
does not give such assistance. The
Senatorial committee and the Con-
gressional committee, take care OF

the practical affairs of cam
paigns for national officers. Here's
a secret: The Senatorial committee
is for Sam AREN'T; and that's no
secret in Washington"
After adjournment of the House
yesterday it was determined at a
brief conference of the Committee
on Mines and Mining that hearings
on H. r. 7736. the so-called mining
bill, will be held commencing April
81. A report is in from Secretary
of the Interior. He disapproves the
bill as a whole although he Is in
favor of many of the provisions.
Probabilities are that after the
hearings the committee will report
out a substitute bill embodying the
recommendation of the symposium
called by Congressman Arentz, in
which hundreds of practical men
and associations expressed them
selves fully.

nations for the systematic and equita-
BILE handling Of international mail.
Both Of these departments have be-
come very important part of the
postal service today.
The postmaster general traced the
development of the mail transporta-
ton from the time Of the dispatch
bearer 600 years B. C. to the present
day with the modern railway car, the
auto delivery wagon and the airplane.
When Benjamin Franklin was made
first postmaster general there were
only % postoffices in the country and
the average days progress of a letter
was bowen 80 and so miles. Frank
lin received a salary Of $1,000 year,
and the total postal revenue amounted
to only few thousand dollars. Today
approximately one-half Of the entire
number of governmental employees are
in the postal service and the annual
revenues amount to over $460,000, 900
