that the fall elections would pre-.
vent a full attendance.

SAN FRANCISCO MINT
TO RESUME ON GOLD

With gold bullion on hand at the
San Francisco mint worth $780,
100000, that institution will re-
sumo the coinage of twenty-dollar
pieces, it is announced by F. E.
Scobey, director of the United
States mint, who is now in San
Francisco and is expected in a few
days to visit Carson.
The government has four billions
of dollars worth of gold bullion in
various parts of the country, Mr..
Scobey says, and proposes coming
100000 Of it a day into twenty
dollar pieces until further orders.
Forty thousand silver dollars are
to be turned out every day at San
Francisco, too, Mr.. Scobey an
nouces, and they will be the new
dollars as designed for Raymond 7.
Baker, Mr.. Scobey's predecessor in
Office. The objection that they
would not stack" the new director
says, has been met by taking "some
Of the chest off the eagle"
"The mint is in the market for
gold" he added, land will buy any
brought to it. Gold is worth $780,
81 an ounce the world over, ir-
RESPECTIVE of what form it is in,
and the government takes any ex-
cept from Soviet Russia"

SHAUCNESSY FAvoRS
s. PC. p. MERGER

The belief that a merger of the
Central Pacific and Southern Pacific
lines would be Of more benefit to
Nevada than merger of the
former road with the Union Pa
cific was expressed by Chairman j.
Shaughnessy Of the public service
commission at luncheon Of the
Lions Club in Reno recently.
Less freight would flow through
Nevada if the Union Pacific entered
the field, he explained, for the ton
mage east-bound from California
would be divided with one more
company than at present and the
Southern Pacific would send all its
traffic over the southern route.
In celebrating on his stand to-
day, Mr.. Shaughnessy explained
that, according to report, 1882, 900
tons Of freight were delivered by
the S. P. to the U. P. at Ogden in
1921, while the former company re-
ceived $4,000 tons from the latter.
The Southern Pacific shipped 348,-
900 tons to Ell Paso for delivery to
eastern carriers, while $4,000 tons
were received at the same point for
western points.
According to figures furnished by
the Southern Pacific, seventy-five
per cent of the Southern Pacific
traffic flowed through Nevada in
1920, while twenty-six per cent
went by the southern route.

GIRL STRANCLES SELF
WITH SKIPPING ROPE

London. Inadvertently strangi-
ing herself to death with her own
skipping rope was the remarkable
fate of Marguerite Martin, Of Ep-
inal.
1t was learned at the inquest
that after skipping with her school
master she fastened one end Of her
rope to a gate, the other end she
then wound around her neck to
play. A strong wind resulted In
the gate swinging to and fro, and
the girl was swung of her feet,
dying later of strangulation.

Knots

All these vessels with the ex-
ception Of the Homeric burn oil
fuel. Thus, as well as setting the
speed championship, the race will
provide useful data for comparing
the new method of making steam
by oil with the old method Of using
coal.
The contest has progressed far
enough to reveal that the race now
lies between the Mauretania and the
Majestic. Can the latter deprive
the former of her proud and long
held position as the Atlantic speed
queen?" This is the great topic
in ocean shipping circles. There is
much argument and heavy betting.
The Majestic, like the Berengaria,
is German built. She was designed
to capture from Britain, size and
speed records. Her hackers point
out that she has shown her qualities
in the later respect by doing a re-
cent sprint at 27.s2 knots, and that
she is only beginning to "feel her
engines" She will make things
hum for her British-built competi-
tors.
The Mauretania's hackers reply
that she, too, has not yet settled
down since her conversion to oil
burning; that if squirting counts Off
anything she has 1872 knots squirt
to her credit, and that with a
former whole voyage achievement
of over 26 knots she will, if needed,
still show all competitors a clean
pair Of heels.
With all this keen but good
natured rivalry among the grey
hounds Of the ocean," new records
may be looked for before long.
The new Berengaria may produce
some surprise, now that she has
taken to oil fuel. and she is looked
upon as the dark horse" Of the
Atlantic.
