An Era Of Reform.

The necessity for reform is not cons
fined to politics. Household man.
sgement as well as public sentiment
demands urgent reform in the inter.
ests of economy. The time las gone
when sensible people endure long
treatment for an ailment that can be
cured at one fourth the cost. Nova
days when a man is attacked with
the piles he wants to be cured eco
nomically and speedily. He's had

A bucket brigade was soon formed
and did good service until the engine

still progressing rapidly.
The White Pine Ne,os comes to US
this week on the haif shell.
Quite number of Mason Valley
folks were In town this week.
Quite number of children around

The Ward Refer reports q strike Of
considerable importance in the Mar
tin White mine.
Two new box cars passed over the
road Thursday. They are somewhat
larger than the old ones.
1t is reported that Harry Symons
has Joined the church since he made
the last strike in the Como Eureka.
The first OF April was celebrated

The Headlight.

Tom Crowley Superintendent OF
the Headlight mine of Como, WAS in
town this week, and brought with
him some very fine specimens OF ore
taken from the ledge which was
struck the FIRST part of the week.
he tunnel is now in a distance of
400 feet. Mr.. Crowley seem to be
rather reticent in regard to the value
of the ore, but judging from his sc'
tons one would conclude that he was
highly pleased with his strike. Work
is still being carried on in lhstunnel
aud the plan of the company is to
drIf. north aud south on the ledge
and to also sink shaft to the water
level. 1t has been proven that the
richest ore is always found at and
below the water level, aud when q
shaft is sunk this distance on the
Headlight it will in all probability
open up something pretty rich.

Our Mail System.

DAHIoN1 NoN., ApEil Olu, 1909.
EDITOR TIMEs:-
Abuses, when committed by pri-
vste individuals or corporations,
should be corrected; the same rule
should apply to governmental affairs,
and, when persisted in, should be
opposed by that great lover of ad.
justment, the public press. We
have, running across the confines Of
Lyon county, q railroad, known as
the Carson q Colorado Railroad Co. i,
transferring general merchandise,
passengers, Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S ex
press and the United States mail. OF
the manner in which the express and
mail business 10 now transacted we
propose to speak, and protest
! against the present management,
that the people along this line Of
railroad may receive fair treatment
At the hands of this corporation. 1t
Is Understood that the U. s. mail ser.
vice Is under the control OF a regular
mail agent, appointed and paid by
the general government. 1t is also
understood that the government pays
its agents to transact its business, in
and for the interests of the people
generally, but the agents on this road
who have in charge the handling of
the U. s. mails assume very differ.
cut position. They seem to care not
what becomes of the peoples affairs
for which they are paid by the people
to tend to, and should be- more or
less interested In, and the public is
treated by these self important gov
ernmentaI agents as contemplate
as if they were lot of slaves.
Perhaps on no other mail route in
the United States do such rules and
established regulations exist. For
example,: A letter cannot be mailed
on the mail car or given to the mail
ageut to be by bin posted, AS on 9th
er mail routes. Your letter must be,
by this management, mailed in a
regular postoffice, and forwarded by
a resident postmaster, the agent be-
ing little too tony to accommodate
The dear people in this particular /;
but you are informed by this impor
tant governmental official that il you
will place your letter in one Of Wells,
Fargo Il Co.'S franks he will forward
it. This must be done before your
letter Can hope to take a ride out of
the regular order on the e. Il c. X.
X. These facts are questions of i'm
portancs to the people. Have the
Railroad Company and Wells, Fargo
Il Co. entered into a CON bination
against the United States mail ser
vice, and adopted this course TO force
the people to patronize the express
company Let some one who knows
answer. Another explanation IL
wanted in this connection. Letters
directed t. Wabuska and other points
south, dropped into the postoffice at
Dayton three hours before the mail
leaves in that direction, are held In
the office until the evening train, are
then sent to Carson or Reno, and are
returned on some future day. repass
ing the first place of posting. But
as has been previously stated, your
letter placed in a Wells, Fargo d Co.
frank will go to Wabuska in three
hours. There is something wrong
in all this red tape, or railroad aud
express management, aud the people
demand to know why they are thus
abused. JUSTICE.
