Taft and Roosevelt in the Nations Drive for a Second Term
The Sacramento Bee notes Taft has crisscrossed 18,000 miles through 23 states and territories, winning smiles with humor and amiability. While admired for his appeal, his prolonged tour may not have strengthened his political stance, as early speeches appear to hinder reform support and fail to present a clear program.

Plans for Bly-Gold-Avald railroad spur sparks vast job push
W R Alberger announces the Bly-Gold-Avald railroad will hire an immense local workforce from the start, linking Ely with Goldfield and Tonopah Tidewater. The route promises major freight and passenger traffic gains, shortening Ely to Los Angeles trips and shifting ore handling to the district. Expected profits hinge on low-grade ore processing and open routes. A separate Duckwater water rights case in Tonopah heads toward a settlement decree after weeks in District Court.

Looks Like a Swindle In Ruby Valley Horses Sold To Nebraska Dealers
Sam Bachman of Ruby Valley sold 22 head of horses to Langman and Quinsonberry, stock dealers from Nebraska. The horses were driven to Halleck, shipped east, and a $120 check was cashed by Mr. Hazelton the next day. Langman later stopped payment, claiming the horses were changed. Bachman denies this, cites witnesses, and has placed the matter with the district attorney for criminal proceedings.
