Memorial Day Pictures.

Louis Monaco has completed and put on
exhibition in his studio a number of
photographs of the military companies,
staff officers, fire companies, the Grand
Army and the Knights Of Pythias. Some
OF these photographs, all of the ~instanta-
neous process, were taken while the pro-
cession was in motion, and others while
the various bodies of men mentioned were
standing at rest. Every one Of them is a
fine, clear, accurate picture, and it is inter-
esting to look over them and see what his
art has accomplished in perpetuating the
pomp and ~paraphernalia OF Memorial Day.
While all Of his photographs are good and
life like, the picture Of the column march
ing down Main street is the most spirited
and interesting Of them all. The horses
Of the officers, the mel as they marched,
the boys who struggled along on the
streets, are all represented just as they
we're when their images were received in
the camera obscura. Copies OF these
photographs can be had OF Mr.. Monaco 81
his studio for a reasonable price.

The Times Review seconds the nomina-
ton Of Capt. Matt Canavan for delegate
to the National Democratic Convention,
made by the Virginia Footlight, and says
His election by reclamation would be a
graceful recognition OF his fidelity to his
constituents four years ago, while his
defeat could be only regarded as a rebuke
TO an honest representative who had been
faithful to his trust. The Democratic
State Convention cannot afford TO defeat
Mr.. Caravan for delegate, If his name is
presented for that position.
We have heard Mr.. Caravans name
mentioned in this connection several times
BY Democrats and always favorably. We
believe that IL he is a candidate at Austin
he will be elected without opposition. As
for ourselves, we regard him as u OF the
most serviceable delegates the Democracy
can send TO their National Convention.
He 10 q man who is recognized among
broad-gauged men at once. He never loses
his head. He is a sharp, quick thinker.
and Is gifted otherwise strongly as an
organizer. He has a voice and presence
that command attention. He would be at
home among representative men Of the
nation on the floor Of the convention at
Chicago.

BRIDGE

Or. One of the ways In which Pub
lie Money May be S~qunndered.
1t is the general impression that ample
provision has been made by law, from time
to time, to keep the roads and bridges Of
this county in frst-rste condition. Still,
for some reason or other, the history Of
the county for years shows that OH roads
and bridges have been the source Of bur-
densome expenditure; that to keep them
in order, extra sums Of money have been
required beyond the ordinary and proper
appropriations; that, time and again,
when the roads and bridges have got out
OF repair, as lately, owing to the protracted
season Of storms, and when work or them
was an absolute business necessity, there
was no money in the fund to meet the
emergency. For instance, the road up to
the mines, through New York canyon,
would be, even at this late day in thes sea-
son, unfit for travel by quartz teams, had
not private persons and companies ex-
pended their " money to put it in re-
pair. So, also, of the road through the
canyon over to Newark Valley. 1t being
understood that such expenditures OF
money were contemplated in the
natural order Of events and ample
provisions made therefor, the question
suggests itself: What has become
of the money that was apportioned from
public taxes for these purposes? 1t is not
necessary to make a specific reply. The
evil is not Of the present. 1t runs back
too far into Eureka county history and its
landmarks are too conspicuous to need
norfiat,lar natntin n ny1f Rnf a rnintar nf
a recent date may be used. Last Saturday
q week ago. or thereabouts, the bridge
over the road leading into New York
Canyon was injured by q freshet and had
to be put in order and made passable.
Commissioner Arlington and Baily, &C.
c~ompanied by Road Supervisor Stewart,
vent out to look at it and estimate the
cost Of the needed repairs. Mr.. Stewart
said that he would furnish the lumber
and fix it for 500. The repairs seemed to
the two Commissioners named a trifing
matter, and they made up their minds not
to contract with III to do the job until
they could investigate. On their return
to town they saw Tom Dickson, a reliable
man and an experienced b~ridge-builder,
and he guaranteed to take the job and do
it thoroughly and we'll. furnishing the lum-
Der himself, all for S25-$12 for his labor
and S13 for the lumber. Now. Mr.. Dickson
could, and did, do the work for ~one-fourth
as much as the Road Supervisor, Mr..
Stewart, demanded, the presumption be-
ing that he made wages at it. We get
| these facts from an entirely reliable source.
Our informant tells US, besides, that Mr..
Stewart is indignant, and threatens to sue
the county because the Commissioners in
| terfered with him in the discharge Of the
| duties of his .oficel The county is to be
| congratulated upon having a Board of
| Commissioners who know their duty and
| attend to it for the interests of their con-
stituency in an upright, businesslike
manner.

Smith & Moser, at the Postofice book
store. are in receipt Of q number Of Sea-
side novels. bound in small. handy vol
umes. which are much more convenient
than the large unbound volumes in which
they have been hitherto issued. We un-
derstand, also, that these popular station
ers and boob men propose to start q circu-
lating library, with the large number Of
interesting and valuable books they have
already on their shelves. Their plan in
this will be to lend their volumes to re-
sponsible persons for a given time at two
bits each, on condition that the volumes
30 put out shall be returned u~ninjured.
This will be a great convenience to the
public, and will probably induce many
persons to read who do not feel able to
pay the full price Of 9 book for the privi-
lege Of reading IL. Besides. there are only
q few persons who are ambitious to accu-
mulate libraries, or care to pay anything
more for q book than to get the reading

For Heavens sake, Sir.

In her lately published pleasant auto
biography, Mrs. Bray mentions meeting
Mr.. Upcott. who was for some years libra
rian at the London Institution, in Moor
fields, and q collector of autographs, and
so indefatigable in the pursuit Of his hob
by that he purchased sackfuls Of old papers
and went laboriously through them on the
chance of finding one of value. Still there
was method in his mania, for after his
death his collection of autographs sold for
$40, 900. Mrs. Bray, however, records an
episode which illustrates the hight Of abb
surdity to which the spirit Of collecting
can lead q man. On one occasion she tells
us how Mr.. Upcott threw open the door OF
a closely filled bookcase, and exclaimed
triumphantly: "a complete set OF the
G~entleman's Magazine from the first num-
Der down to the present time with the
pages uncut" This recalls the agony OF
the librarian at a great English country
house, who, to the amazement of a visitor.
rushed forward. exclaiming: "For Heavens
sake, sir" just as the visitor was putting a
paper knife into a work 100 years old.

The Explosive Manufacturers Effect
u Combination.
The following paragraph. which appears
In the San Francisco Chronicle Of May 80,
will be read with considerable interest in
Eureka, the cost OF mining being at once
affected by the price Of powder:
II has been known for some time past
that the once prosperous and successful
powder making industry on the Pacific
Coast was suffering extensively from over
production, and particularly competition.
90 that many OF the mills could run but
half time. The formation OF a combina-
ton was suggested, but IL was found so
difficult to harmonic the conflicting in
serests and 10 control the supply OF raw
material. that for nearly q year all efforts
towards IN organization proved ineffective.
The main difficulty lay 10 the fact that any
combination which did not include the
acid manufacturers would not be able to
maintain prices on q dividend-paying
basis, because the advance in rates would
soon draw new capital in competition. To
induce the acid manufacturers to become
parties 70 the compact was not an easy
matter. But ii has finally been accom-
piished aud the combination 10 now q fact.
The parties to 1t are the Giant, California,
Safety Nitro, Vulcan and Vigorit COM
panies, in addition to the six acid
works necessary to make the organization
. success and give it control Of the bust
ness. The compact holds good for five
years, and Its chief and first result will be
to advance the cost OF explosives from 80
TO 70 per cent. A new schedule OF prices
10 now being prepared. with the intention
Of having 1t 60 into effect early next week.

Two pay-days in Hamilton this week
made the town rather lively.

dong term Commissioner, is the noblest

Fortunate was the candidate In White
Pine who has influential relatives. 1t
made no difference which ticket he ran on,
or how rich or poor he was, he pulled
through. Blood does tell.
A fun loving people are the Hamilton
ians. Last Monday evening, q pleasant,
social party was given at Wilmington Hall
in honor Of the Misses Wethered. who were
over on a visit from Eureka.
While in Hamilton this week we visited
the California mill, where Supt. Kendall
is running through the old failing pile.
From the nice chest of amslgam shown us,
and two fine bars of bullion, we should
Judge the enterprise is bound to prove a
success. This, Mr.. Kendall assured US, is
the case. 1t will require a year to run the
pile through. The bullion produced is of
the finest kind, 996 fine. Quite a little
settlement has sprung up around the mill.
Last Monday evening the Hamilton
Democracy celebrated the Presidential
victory in grand style. Salvos Of giant
powder made the grand old mountains re-
vertebrate from base to summit. A pro-
~cession, led by martial music, paraded the
streets and rent the air with shouts of
victory. The ladies, too. caught the in

and did it handsomely.
