GOOD ROAD ASSURED Government offlclnla connected with the forestry department have been In conferenco In Klko over the matter o( building u now wagon road through Secret l'nss to Iluby Valley, and that the road will be built la an assured fact. According to the regulations of the forestry department, a portion of the revenue derived from crazing and other sources la placed In a fund for the building and repairing of roada, and according to Supervisor Ityan, of the lluby forest reserve, there Is now an amount of about $7,000 to bo ap plied to I Ida purpose, and It baa been decided to npply It to the building of ft road through Secret Pasa. The county commissioner!! will bo expected to provide for a certain amount ~to assist In the work and there Is no doubt they will cooporato with the government ofllclnln. Itoughly cull mated, It will take ten thousand dollara to complete thin work according to present plans. A government aurvey will lay out the grades ami Supervisor Ilyan will propnbly have general supervision of the work. At the present time the road through the Pass la along the west nlde where the snow lies deepest In the winter1 snd where the sun shlnca but a few hours n day during the winter months. It la practically Impassable except for light rigs during n large tmrt of tho yenr. The proposed road pans along tho east side of the I'ass where tho sun shines Hit. yfnr around, and whero tho nnow ?

It Ib said tlixl s<pottcrrt have been active lately, ami tho prlclpal cause for the wholesale dismissals Is the vi olation of "Rdn (I." This rule not only provides ivgainst drinking, but forbids nil railroad men from fre quenting aaloonji. About ton paasenger conductors oy eratiug between Ogden and Spnrks are said to have been dlsmlflBod and among the?e are nomo of tho oldest In service, and horetofore considered tho most reliable.

ADAMS IS DIRECTRESS OF FRISCO EXPOSITION An extended meeting of the Neva da directors for the Panama-Pacific exposition was held yeBterday after noon, at which Governor Oddlo, Lieu tenant-Governor Ross and Attorney General Thatcher were present, says | the Carson Appeal. The main matter of business discussed and acted upon was the letting of the contract for the erection of the Nevada building at San Diego. For this work three bids have been received, tho C. G. Sellman Construc tion putting in one at $16,444, Frled hoff and HocfTor o Keno submitting one at $17,900 and a San Diego con cern bidding $20,475. Tho Sellman bid being the lowest the contract was awarded to that company. Mr. Sell man, accompanied by Architect Do Longchamps, will start for San Diego this evening for a meeting with the directors of the fair there, preparato ry to beginning active construction work. It Is stated, however, that actual work on the building will probably be gin within the coming week. Following a precedent established a number of years ago at other fairs, and as a compliment to the women of Nevada, two ladles were placed In ex ecutive positions in connection with the work of the board of directors. Mrs. J. \V. Adams, wlfo of ex-Governor Adams, was named as "hostess," her duties placing her at the head of the ladles who will do the receiving of vlrltors at the San Franclsoc fair when that fair Is thrown open to the public. Mrs. W. A. Massey, wife of the late Senator Massoy, was appoint ed directress of domestic art and she will have charge of that phase of Ne vada's exhibit. It is believed that that department is going to be quite a fea ture of the exposition, as many ladles of Nevada have expressed their pur pose of exhibiting specimens of em broidery and other kinds of needle work.

The case, as stated in yesterday's Indepen dent, came up over an insurance poli cy which Cluff told to Drown, and which. Drown claimed was not as rep resented. The court ruled, however, that the evidence of fraud or misrep resentation was not shown and ac cordingly awarded judgment in favor of Cluff. The case will probably bo appealed to the ?'?strict court. ?-k NEVADA HAY MAY QO TO EASTERN MARKET Nevada's surplua of 150,000 ions of prime alfalfa hay may be disposed of in the markets of Kansas City and Omaha If present plans of the South ern PaciQc are carried out. Bays the Reno Gazette. J. M. Fulton, assistant general freight and passenger manager, says a special temporary rate on baled hay of $10 a ton 1b being arranged for with the railroad lhie3 east of Ogden. This will be a reduction of about 50 per cent and, it is expected, will en able Nevada hay producers to get rid of their supply in the middle western markets. As it takes about forty days to put through a change in interstate rates the change will be delayed for some thing more than a month and the ef fective date of the rate will be an nounced later. It is said the hay must be baled tightly in order to make up lull car loads. The minimum will be 25,000 pounds to the car. From the estimates made for the Southern Pacific com pany, there should be 10,000 to 15.000 carloads of hay available In Nevada under the new low freight rato. PATHFINDER FOR CROSS COUNTRY RACE II.

LOCAL 80VS LOSE TO HNEIKGA Basketball Team of Elko High School Beaten, 32-15 WINNEMUCCA'S SPEED TOO MUCH FOR LOCALS Boys Put Up Good Fight, But Are Outclassed in Speed The boys' basketball team of the local high school returned from Wln nemucca yesterday smarting under the sting of defeat administered to them by the lads of Humboldt county. The tune, 32 lo 15, tells the whole story. The local lads were outclassed in speed and teamwork and although they put up a plucky fight and one which won for them many words of commendation, they were no match for the speedy boys of the Wlnnemuc ca High. Captain Mayer of the local team Bays that the hoys are not a whit dis couraged over the defeat and are de termined to work all the harder and get revenge In a return engagement with Wnnemucca.

M. Fulton, Southern Pacific general freight and passenger agent, as one of the rea sons for the retrenchment that has re sulted in laying off several hundred men at the Sparks shops. Mr. Fulton returned this morning from San Francisco, where, he said, he tried to secure some information as to when conditions at the Sparks shops will be back at normal. He said he was unable to find out anything definite. "Three-fifths of the transcontinental freight is now going through the ca nal," said Mr. Fulton today. "The Flanigan warehouse, for instance, Is shipping nails from New York by way of the canal it 25 cents a hundred pounds All space in ships up to Jan uary and February is contracted for in advance, and, as a result, the rail roads suffer. The Southern Pacific can stand it better than some other linee, but even the Southern Pacific must retrench. We took over the Ogden shops from the Union Pacific and must keep them going. We sent en gines down from Portland to bo over hauled at the Sparks shops and have kept them ab busy as possible, but our revenues are falling off. We have competition that we didn't have to meet before in the castbound haul from the coast, and for this reason and the other named, principally the canal shipments, curtailment of ex penditures has been a necessity to meet the reduction of revenues. Nat urally. the Sparks shops must suiter with the rest. 1 would have liked to secure some definite word about the resumption of activities there, but could not." While absent from Reno, Fulton at tended the livestock meeting at Duns muir, where the question of servicc for shippers of 6tock was considered.

INJURI0?fiT WITHOUT FOUNDATION Someone has given rise to the re port, probably In a spirit of jest, that the foot and mouth disease had made its appearance among the cattle of the tioiconda I>and & Cattle Co., also among the cattle of the tleorge Itus sell Land & Cattle Co. at llattle Mountain. Owing to the fact Hint, much publl ciA has been triven lately regarding this disease In the East, it Is easy to understand how such a report, would soon become widely circulated, even though there be no foundation for the same. The Independent has made thorougli investigation of the matter and wc find the report to be untrue and en tlrely without foundation. No sucti disease Is prevalent among tho cnttk of either of these clmpnnies, nor If any infectious or contagious disease of any nature whatever known to ex 1st among them. A letter received hero from 11. Pe trie, superintendent of the Oolcondn Land Cattle Co., says that the re port Is entirely untrue and he ask? that It bo contradicted because of Hit Injury that It might work. Mr. Itus sell, too, says that there is no trull: whatever in the report, and that II wan probably started by someone Ir a Jept and that as It was passed alon* it was probably enlarged upon. II?' says, however, that incalculable inju ry might result from such a report not only to the parlies directly con cerned but to the state at large. We are clad to be able to authenti rally deny the report, and the persor %vho gave It rlso should in the future j t o moro careful. other Ely If the proper capital cat be Interested in the matter. Mr. Wood ward, who owns some placer propertj on Cobb Creek, a tributary to Var Duzer, will remain In the city lintl! tomorrow hoforo returning to hit homo.

Of that number 20 nre men and the other is a squaw, Kitty lllain, given a sen tence of three months for drunken ness and vagrancy. This is a smaller number than nre usually in jail through tho winter months, as a largo number of vagrants take this oppor tunity of getting a home and some thing to subsist on through the win ter. The sheriff's office has had un usually little trouble recently nnd as a reaction from the wave of ctiine which swept this city earlier in tho fall, everyone seems lo bo on his good behavior.
