WHAT STEWART HAS DOME.


some of His Public Services NJ
senator From Nevada.
The people Of Nevada should not forget
That Senator Stewart is about the only
representative In Congress who is con-
ssantly securing benefits for the State.
The reason why he has accomplished so
much Is because he is . hard worker and
always in his seat attending 10 duty. Ex.
anime what be has done since he has been
In the Senate:
The establishment OF the State Univer.
sisy ct Reno and Government endowment
OF $40. 900 annually, together with . mill
tary instructor from the War Department.
This University Is already . seat Of learn
ing for scholars from other States, besides
afording exceptional opportunities for the
children Of our own citizens 10 acquire an
education.
The construction Of the mint at Carson
and obtaining the necessary appropriations
to operate. Notwithstanding strenuous OPP
position in the House Of Representatives
TO the regular estimates. Only once in
the last ten years has sbis appropriation
been allowed in the House, II always hav-
ing been put on BY an amendment In the
Senate.
The public buildings at Carson. Al
though the first appropriation was obtain
ed in the House by Mr.. Cassidy, Senator
Stewart procured the balance necessary to
complete IL.
Quite recently he had the First Assist
ant Postmaster General increase the clerk
hire at Carson from $3.50 to $500 Q year,
thus enabling the people to continue TO
enjoy she excellent service they now
have.
One year ago an item was incorporated
in the Indian Appropriation bill reim-
bursting the county Of Ormsby in the sum
Of s6,375 for money expended In establish
ing the Indian School. This money was
gratefully received by the county because
IL was much needed in the county treas.
ury. A resolution was passed by the
County Commissioners thanking Senator
Stewart for securing the appropriation.
The Indian School at Carson is an In
stitution which is doing an immense
amount OF good to the Indians and Of the
same time is 9 souroe Of benefit TO Carson
people. In order to show Senator Stewart
that the people appreciate his efforts in
establishing this school IL was named
Stewart Institute.
At the coming session Of Congress the
State Of Nevada Is practically sure Of re-
ceiving S4O4,0 DOC on account Of Rebellion
War claims against the Government,
while private citizens ali over the State
will receive p payment for Pluto Indian war
claims. In the same bill are contained
items beneficial to . number Of other citi-
zens Of Nevada who are seeking relief.
This great bill is called the Omnibus Bill.
Senator Stewart has worked ten years in
getting the State war claims into shape so
that they could be presented for payment.
The collection of data and reports from
Departments on these claims fill three
large volumes. AT every session favorable
reports have been made in the Senate, but
each time no action was bad In the House.
California and Oregon have claims similar
10 those Of Nevada, although much larger
in amount, but IL has been difficult to Sc
cure proper cooperation to have them
paid.
On account Of the great labor bestowed
BY Senator Stewart on these claims, and
his familiarity with every detail connected
with them, he was appointed one Of the
conferees on the part of the Senate. His
persistency and energy will force the pay
ment Of NsvadA's claims at the next SEES
sion, which will put s404, 900 in the State
Treasury. He has already taken steps to
inform each individual member Of the
House Of the business Of the claims of the
State by sending the facts to them.
The Senate Is 80 we'll informed on these
claims that they can be passed through
that body at any time.
The town Of Wadsworth 10 within the
borders Of the Pyramid Lake Reservation.
and consequently the citizens Of Wsds-
worth have never been able 70 get title TO
their holdings. Senator Stewart had q
provision put In the last Indian Appropri-
alton bill allowing the people to get title
70 their lands, under the TOWNSHIP law ct 9
nominal cost. This piece Of legislation Is
OF inestimable value TO Wadsworth and
the citizens heartily appreciate IL.
The establishment Of numerous post
offices all over the State and the changes
OF mail routes to correspond to the con-
venience OF the miners. ran chers and
others, attest the influence Senator Stew
art has at Washington.
The present. mining laws Of the United
States are the product Of the brain OF Sem
ator Stewart. II was he who, when an
effort, which seemed too powerful for re-
