"Although the population1 may have
increased 15 to 30 per cent, since the
census of 1900, entailing a proportionate
increase in the volume of woj& required
it is the belief of the officials that they
may be able to complete the coming
census at a cost but little, if any, in ex
cess of the last census," says the March
popular Mechanics in an illustrated
article, "This economical miracle will
be made possible through the introduc
tion of remarkable machines for the sav
ing of time and labor. It is ^expected
that by the aid of these new machines a
force of clerks no larger than that
employed 10 years ago will be able to
turn out one-fourth and perli$ps one
half as much or more work a^v, was ac
complished in 1900. ; i
"Mechanical mothematicians of one
kind or another have been I used in the
UVS. census office since 1870, $but the
system of electric tabulation w^ich will
be employed for this census a^II be so
far in advance of all predecessors in the
matter of machinery employe^ as to
mark a new era. The census ill be
compiled by the card index systoto, with
q, card for every man, woman arid child
in the country, but it will diff^; from
the card index systems found '.in the
average office in that the information
will be recorded by punching bibles in
the cards instead of records with pens
and typwriters. The positions of the
holes on each card will indicate facts
relative to the individual whose biog
raphy the card holds." The article
further explains low the holes are
punched and counted as required for
the various statistics.
A Timely Warning
The passage of the anti-gambling bill
in the lower house of the legislaaure by
aii easy majority gives rise to the hope
that the senate may ba whipped into
line. Doubt as to the action of the as
sembly was put aside some days ago,
but the senate remains an uncertain
quantity. It is, however, very far from
the hopeless column. In fact, in view
of the fight made in the assembly and
the ridicule gi ven the time worm argu
ment that revenue from gambling is
necessary in this state, so gloriuoaly en
dowed with natural riches, it is not
clear how the gentlemen of the senate
can afford to tumble into the mire in
support -pf gambling. One thing) is
certain. If they do pledge themselves
into the mud, they will never be able to
pull out. If this is not an anti-gambling
legislature the next one will be, and i t
would not be at all surprising if it
should likewise be a prohibition or
ganization. It is up to the saloon men
to get together on high license betwna n
now and the next state election if they
would save themselves from a dose
similar to that which Utah has been
taking the liist several weeks. ? White

Cost of Muddy Day.
It has been calculated that the Cost
of a muddy day in London; is some
thing like 125,000, which is not sur
prising when one remembers that no
less than 32 tons of mud is carried
about from place to place on the
wheels of carts and carriages and
horses' hoofs. After a wet day mud
brushed from people's clothing
amounts to 15 tons, and a very similar
amount is shaken out of doormats.
City mud, hdwever, has its good points.
The shoeblack increases his earnings
in the muddy weather, and new silk
hats and dresses and boots and shoes
are each and all the diroot outcome of
tts destructive qualities.
Miat Report For 1908
The report of the Director of the
Mints is at hand and shows some in
teresting things in regard to last year's
production of gold and silver bullion.
The total gold production of the United
States was $90,485,700. The total silver
production was $37,299,700 for 1908.
Under the head of different States and
their production the Director says of
Nevada:
"Nevada has for the last year or so
attracted more attention from the min
ing people of our country than any other
section by reason of the remarkably
rich mines being developed there. The
gold production for the year is recorded
at $15,411,000 or $6,132,400 in excess of
the year previous. The increase in sil
ver is also large, being 3,072,200 ounces.
In addition to the Tonopah and Gold
field districts, which have made world
wide reputations for richness, other very
promising districts have been discovered
so what. Nevada can or is likely to do in
the way of gold production in the next
few years cannot ba readily estimated.
The new railroads being, extended in
several directions in diff rent parts of the
State are not only making the discovery
of new mines possible but are making
possible the opening of a profit of old j
mines that have been shut down or
abandoned for years."
Nevada is the only State that showed
an increase in her gold and silver prod
ucts.

Another Attache Finds Position
?V ? ' ? ? ?
Another - attache was added to the
already enormous list in the assembly
yesterday. This is only a starter as
from the talks made yesterday it is easy
to see that at least a dozen more will l>e
needed to do the engrossing before the
work is done. It is proper at this time
to repeat a little story that had its birth
in the Sheriff's office here last week.
On the walls of the office of the Sheriff
is a large alarm gong with a voice that
is supposdd to waken the dead. A
stranger was in the office a few days
ago and inquired why it was there. He
was informed that it was connected
with tne State Treasurer's office in the
capitol building by electric wires and
should any one try to break into the
safe the l>ell would commence ringing.
"Well, well," he replied. "It must be
out of working order or it would be
ringing all the time since this legislat
ure is here." ? Carson News.
