victory for the upper floor men by the

Marshall's Band Begins Its Out
Door Concerts.
Fourteen Hundred People Hear
an Excellent Programme.
MR.. MARSHALL'S PLANS
Hopes to Give a Series of Con-
certs in Auditorium.
Band Is in Need of New Fatigue
Uniforms.

Garfield park never looked fresher and
more inviting and Marshal1's band new
er played better than at the opening
concert Sunday afternoon.
There was a good attendance. The
first concert brought out !, 400 people
and the street cars were busy long after
the concert. The carriage stand around
the band stand was crowded with We
hicles. The first concert Of the season
set a splendid example for the rest to
follow. To be sure the creek was a lit
tie low and the row boats some times
grounded and a bench or two tipped
over but the grass was free from the
carnivorous young chigger and there
was no dust to bother. The concert was
arranged for hurriedly and no pro-
grammes were issued The following
numbers were played:
1.-The ElkS. .............. March
Poet and Peasant Overture
3-Russian Carriage Song.
American Patrol .............. March
5-IryphoSa Observation-Disclosures Waltz
6-Humming HOttentOtS -....... March
Joy of the World. Sacred Potpourri
S-Porto Rican Melody .....
9-Scotch Airs Medley-Imitating Bag
pipes.
10-A Little Bit of Essence. .
The band appeared in citizens cloth
ing instead of uniforms. The reason is
that the fatigue uniforms are so worse
for wear that they have been laid aside.
The scarlet dress uniforms are not to be
used at all times. The band will have to
expend about $500 for new fatigue uni
forms.
Director J. B. Marshall is already
looking forward to a series of free con-
certs in the Auditorium at stated times
next fall and winter, probably every
Sunday afternoon. The band will not
give any more Auditorium concerts this
summer as the revenue from the park
concerts is necessary to the maintenance
of the organization and enough must be
made from the summer concerts to pur-
chase the new fatigue uniforms and to
pay all expenses of the band and band
rooms until next summer.
Mr.. Marshall proposes to interest the
musicians of the town in the Auditor
ium concerts for next fall and winter
and to have choruses, solos and quar-
tettes and instrumental solos on the pro-
gramme to relieve the monotony Of an
entire programme of band music
In August the band 56 strong, viii go
to Louisville. Ky, with the Kansas
Knights Templar to the trienniaI con-
clave. MarshalPs band is the official
musical organization of the Kansas
Templars and whenever the Sir Knights
make a pilgrimage the band is with
them. In June the Friday night con-
certs at the park will be commenced.

THE POTATO MARKET.

Spuds seem to rule the California
market at present. The demand for
these tubers is SO great that San Fran
cisco and Sacramento commission
merchants are having trouble to fill
their orders. The Middle West and
Southern States are calling for more
spuds, but Texas seems to be the star
customer and no kick is being made
about stiff prices. Salanas Burbank
potatoes are now bringing $l.75 per
hundred, and River Sacramento
Burbanks are $l.5o per hundred. Ne
vada is being called on for large guam
titles OF spuds and we are told that the
commission men are selling California
potatoes for the Nevada article. The
fame of the Nevada spud has gone far
abroad and they are preferred to any
potato on the Pacific Coast. To ship
our product to Texas and the Western
States under a California label is I'M
lust as everybody knows that the Cal
ifornia article is not to be compared
with the Nevada product.

SUGGESTS
MINERS A~SSO
Call tor Convention at Reno Dor
ing State Fair Week.

A man seeking a mining investment
IN this State asked the reporter where
he could find a record of the MINING
districts of Nevada and reliable re-
ports as to what work had been done
on prominent and promising properties.
We told him there was no %orpaniza-
ton OF the mining men OIL the State.
or those interested in mines, and no
printed or ever compiled report Of the
Information sought. That this was
not only true Of the mines, but of the
agricultural lands and stock ranges,
and the products of both. That we
knew OF but n chamber Of COM
merce in the State and it must be
three-quarters dead, as we never heard
OF it attempting to do anything that
would advertise the esources of the
section in which it was established.
Very frequently the newspapers speak
OF the thousands Of acres of govern
ment and State lands in Nevada to be
bought for Sl.25 per acre. The where
abouts of this land can only be found
out at the land offices, and a request
for general Information would cause the
land officers to fall in several dozen fits.
They are there to draw salaries. The
newspapers print beautiful articles about
what our lands will produce, but we
never heard Of any officer of the State
OF u. S. land offices offering to the
printer man a list of the unoccupied
lands Of the State and the counties
such lands are in. We have heard
the Nevada State University professors
have reported some time or other as to
how many tons Of spuds, or turnips, or
hay. or beets we a raise to the acre,
but this information has not been COM
piled to be had for ready reference.
The newspapers Of the State can
change these conditions If they will,
and for the common good Of all. For
a beginning let us call a meeting in
Reno during State Fair week Of all
people interested in the mining indus
try Of the State, and organize a State
Miners Association. 1t can be adver-
tised for two weeks and organization
can be effected at Reno. The Cali
fornia Miners Association numbers
among its members not only miners
and mine-owners but prominent men
Of all classes, because their pursuits
are in some measure dependent upon
the mining industry. Nevada needs
the best men of all classes to promote
her mining interests and there is work
enough for all to do, especially at the
start. The idea Of organizing a min
er's association in Nevada came from
the representatives Of Nevada who at
tended meetings Of the California
Miners Association and were impressed
with the personnel of that body and the
immense advantages and benefits &C
cruing to California through the efforts
Of the association. Captain Griffin, OF
Peavine, has had the matter under
study for several years and has gath
cred a mass Of Information from the
workings Of similar bodies that can be
used for guidance in organizing the
Nevada Miners Association.
Will the press Of the State take hold
and publish a call meeting OF miners
and those interested in mining to be
held at Reno during State Fair week.

What to Do with AguinaldO.
70 the Editor of The Evening Star:

Cabinet officers, statesmen, admirals and
generals are being called upon in turn for
an expression of opinion as to the DISPOSE
ton of the Filipino leader. and the in
dividual temperament advises the admin
istration-mild, cruel or middle course,
according to that temperament. One
doughty admiral would have found Aguin-
aldo dead as the only safe way, and the
situation would doubtless been saved. But
situation confronts up. Now / am a SIM
pie citizen of this great republic, and have
not been asked for views. But having
them, l beg leave to submit them. These
people upon the far-away islands do not
understand that republic like ours does
not desire conquest for conquest's sake
They have had no dealings with people
other than those who were eager to seize
and to hold. They do not comprehend what
the purpose of a government like this
means. Now let Aguinaldo be brought
here by generous conqueror, not like
prisoner going to doom. Let him. as
eyes what mighty country this is far
too mighty to be thinking only of lacking
his little islands to a continent for con-
quests sake Let him see the workings of
the government of a mighty republic like
this and. as he is quick to comprehend
what he sees, when he can take it in give
him the means to instruct his poor fol-
lowers that it is freedom. protected by
this powerful republic that thew are tn
strife and depredations from without. And
when this moral object lesson is learned
by the F1lfpfnos and not till then, there
will be peace. F. g
