the colony established several years ago at Fort Romle twenty miles from Monterey He is convinced that Industrial development or aid must go hand In hand with any moral work Booth Tucker said yesterday The four most dangerous things to society are churchlesnessworklessness home lessness and orthlesaness and the four are closely connected with each other When you find a condition of society in which millions of men cannot find work to do you have a very serious condition to grapple with The church may go on preaching salvation but If It does not find out the actual condition of the man who does not go to church and why he doesnt go it will accomplish little Missionary work cannot succeed ex ept as It realizes that men have bodies a veil as souls Take the fifty mllllors of money that this Nation spends annually In charity and with it place people on land and make them self supporting and you will have solved the queston To morrow the commander will open the Salvation Army camp

one of Armours managers and John Adams representing Porter Brothers company which is associated with Armour in other interests have become interested in it This company expects to begin the i onstruction of the plant hether or not succeeds in getting contracts at first from tne owners of the Comstock mines and the Comstock Pumping Association The Coinstork peiple are to decide definitely this we whether they will enter into a contract with the new electric company at this time The directors of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad favor the conversion of its motive power from strain to electricity James Newlands Jr one of ih directors said last night that In all probability that step would 1 taken and the power would be supplied by the Truckee company According to Herbert Fleish nacker secretary of the company power for manufacturing and lighting will be bought from the Truckee company by the tow ns of Reno Verdt Truckee Virginia and Gold Hill Donner Lake with thousands of acres of land surrounding it has lately been bought by the syndicate from the Sharon estate This lake will be Jammed at once dividing the lake Into two lakes one of which may be relied upon for a bupply ofwater for the companys operations in dry seasons it will be simply an emergency reservoir Ordinarily the power ill be taken from the Tiuckee river which for a distance of about five miles will be used for supplying power to the electric generators Work on the Donnr lake dam and the dams In the Truckee will be begun at once and the company proposes to be ready to deliver 2000 horse power by December 1st Officers of the company state that they have entered into con tnicts already for 900 hore power with tamp mills and small manufactories The Flelshhacker brother are also con nected with the Floristan Pulp and I Paper Company which was organized ir May with a paid up capital of 400 uoo One hundred and fifty men are low at work on the plant of this paper company at Floristan and it is said that it will be In operation by next March In speaking of the advantages his company would bring to the Comstock region Herbert Fleushhacker said yesterday Steam power Is now used there The fuel Is wood which Is very expensive In the mountains costing as high as 15 a cord The present cost of power is from 25 to 40 per horse power a month Our company will cut this cost to from 5 to a month per horsepower according to the quantity bought MineR that are now flooded pay no profit to their owners on account of the enormous expense of pumping With the cheap power that we will furnish these mines can be cleared at once and put on a paying basis There is a vast amount of low grade ore In the Comstock region both uncovered and on the dumps that will run from 5 to 40 to the ton With cheap pow er thts can all be worked to a profit The result of bringing this cheap power to the mines will be to reopen manufacturing and agricultural Industries as well as mining in the whole Nevada region which will be put once more on a business basis Congressman Newlands of Nevada has encouraged the organization of this company James Newlands Jr said yesterday regarding the project Those who own mining and other property In the Comstock region look upon this electric enterprise as one that will do much for their individual interest and for the development and redevelopment of the whole district The cost of operating many of the mines Is at present prohibitive With the cheap power that will now be available the mines can be pumped out and ores of a low grade profitably mined I believe that the Comstock people will take hold of this project Immediately as soon as a scale of payment to the electric company can be agreed upon My father has locg been In favor of exchanging for electricity the steam power used now on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad and the change will probably be brought about when the new company Is ready to deliver the power Our present method of hydraulic pumping at the mines has not proved a success and is very expensive Divorces Asked for Desertion Solomon A Kusel yesterday brought suit against Caroline Kusel for divorce

July August iand September and to make new rules for the guidance of the police courts There were present Judges Mogan Graham and Treadwell the only absentee being Judge Conlan who though notified failed to attend The first business transacted was the election of a presiding Judge for the months of July August and September and Mogan Judge of Department 1 was chosen Judge Graham the retiring presiding Justice was complimented on the manner In which he performed the duties of the position during the quarter ending June 30th Proposed changes in methods and rules were discussed at length All of the Judges were agreed that the present prison accommodations for minora were defective and calculated to degrade rather than benefit youthful offenders It was therefore decided that an appeal be made to the Building Committee of the Board of Supervisors urging the establishment of a detention place for Juvenile prisoners awaiting trial other than the quarters now assigned to them in the City Prison In the cases of child offenders charged vvlth misdemeanors and found to be incorrigible the Judges agreed not to convict pending the expiration of a probationary period to pe spent In some public institution Then if the child shows an inclination to reform the case will be dismissed and there will be no Police Court record of conviction to hamper him In alter life Other rules adopted at the meeting are In substance as follows After a defendant Is convicted and ordered Into custody to await sentence releases shall be granted only by the trial Judge It Is provided however that when the trial Judge fixes the amount of bail In such cases bonds may be accepted by any of the Judges After the conviction of a defendant bonds on appeal shall be taken only by the trial Judge In cases of felony where the defendant has been held to answer and released on bonds the bonds shall be filed with the record clerk of the Police Department for transfer to the Superior Court The rules adopted will do away with the practice employed by friends of defendants to apply for relief to some Judge not familiar with the merits of the case at Issue After the meeting Judge Graham having cleaned up all of the cases on his calendar during the morning session of his court temporarily forsook business for rest and recreation and began his months vacation WAKKLEK WILL GO nil target with a revolver
