A COMMISSION HOUSE
One Is Badly Needed in This
City

The Appeal has suggested to the
merchants and business men of this
city on other occasions that a COM
mission house is a pressing need in
this section. An object lesson is now
before the business men that will con-
vince them that such alb usiness would
be money in their pockets. Mr.. c.
ii. Corson, representing Wood, Curtis
& Co, OF Sacramento, is in this city
buying all the apples he can get. Up
to the present time he has secured
two thousand boxes OF apples and has
more in sight These apples will be
forwarded to California or the East
when the market warrants and the
profits will go to the enterprsing Cal
iiorna firm. About the time the ap-
pies are shipped the home market will
be shy on the product and the people
will pay double the amount that the
trult growers are now reCelvlng.H 1t is
too bad that the merchants of Carson
have not taken the same business view
and secured the same crop
This is not the only article that has
been taken in by outside buyers. Near
ly all the potatoes in this section have
been spoken for and will go ont OF the
State and the profits will be made by
the commission men who realize that
Nevada products will be good thing
ior them. Honey is in the same class.
| Most OF it has been sold and little ii
| any can be found in the local market
! Alter a while the same honey will
! come back to lis and we will pay the
| profits and freight to an outside mark
| ct
1t is true that Nevada cannot COR
! tune her own productions, but the bus
! mess men should make the profits on
| the products. A general commission
, house situated in this city would and
! could handle all the products that are
! now shipped out. The produce could
| be placed on the market to better ad-
! vantage and home merchants and pro-
! ducers would secure the profit.
As long as the people continue to
allow the wholesalers of other points
to secure the good things ofthis section
just SO long will the people and the
! merchants pay the foreign houses for
their time and the percent OF profit
that they demand
N1. Corson stated yesterday thar one
reason that his hDnse secured Nevada
products was the TACT that the name
Nevada sells the article at several
points higher than California goods
He says thai the reputation gained by
Nevada apples, honey. potatoes and
butter equals the reputation OF Califor-
on her oranges and grapes OF course
the California commission man is in a
measure responsible for the reputation
as he has placed orr products before
the world Now that this is TACT it
seems about time for the merchants t.
form concern whereby the profits re
main at home. The producing section,
OF California have done this and hnt
that it works to their advantagea nd
it will act the same here About the
time the Nevadan pays a dollar and 4
half Tor a box OF apples that were rais-
! ed w: hin a mile Of his home in winter
he will realize that commission house
in his own town would be good thing
as the difference between Is cents anC
$50 cents has gone to the man OF, the
other side, who is the wise one in thi.
case.

The little Mexican lottery engineers
claim that the ticket winning the CAPT
tai prize in the last drawing was held
in Grass Valley, California A canvass
OF that town by the local newspapers
failed to find the winner, and the state
ment that the prize was drawn there
was probably merely an advertising
scheme of the lottery company.

NEW METHOD WAS ADOPTED
Novel Way Of Cleaning Channel I'm
Upper Delaware River

For some time past the Wilmington
Steamboat Company has heen engaged in
dredging the channel of the upper Della
ware river near Trenton in order 10 re-
move the bars which exist and which
have caused the company much annoy
ance. especially at low water
One of the worst places in the channel
is a short distance above Bordentown. In
this spot are several large rocks ON the
bottom of the stream. They are too
large to be removed 10y a drcdgc and the
usual process In such cases is To drill aud
blast. In this instance, however. novel
plan viii Doe adopted The drcdge will
scoop out a large hole 10y the side of each
rock and when the excavation is dcep
enough the stone will hc rolled into 81.
This procedure will not Interfere IN the
least with the government in drilling
when it decides TO commence the work Of
dredging the channel TO a depth of ten
feet at mean low water, which is CON
templaied.
Captain Horace Wilson said to-day
that he expected the work of removing
the rock would commence at once and hc
completed i'm a few days Despite th,
Instructions, the company's boats ar,
running ON regular time.

CHESTER SUFFERS
With SMALLPOX
About Fifty Cases Reported
in Various Parts Of
That City

Chester. Aug. This city is suffering
from an epidemic of smallpox Since
May 8, on which date the first case was
reported by DR.. W. W. Johnson. the dis
ease has spread to various parts of the
city until now there are between thirty
and forty cases, aud at one time there
We're as many as fifty persons suffering
from the disease
Twenty years ago the city of Cheste,
was ravaged by an epidemic Of smallpox.
and il cost the community large amounts
Of money and many valuable lives before
it was stamped out. Since that time, un-
ill the present, there have only been two
or three isolated cases, and the good peo-
pie had grown confident and careless.
The School BOARD has not enforced the
vaccination laws, and the people them
selves have grown TO disbelieve in their
necessity. Thus when the first few cases
were reported the danger of an epidemic
was pooh-poohed, and some OF the medi-
cal men, who have since confessed that
they had never before seen a case Of
smallpox actually treated their patients
for chicken-pox and failed, Of course. to
report them 10 the Board of Health.
The disease is present I'm a mild form,
and up 10 the present there have been
only three deaths. and these may have
been due to the debilitated condition of
the subjects.

tees in Sixth street near Orange. It
was ordered that the purchaser be di-
rectcd TO pay the purchase price of ST.
500 to the board within ten days, or
quit the place. The agreement of sale
was made two months ago. but the pur-
chaser has thus far refused to comply
with the terms because he thinks the
title was not clear. Edwin r. Cochran,
Jr., the boards attorney, says the title
is good. and, acting on his opinion, the
board ordered that the present deal be
closed, or the property resold.
A communication from George d. Kel-
ley, county comptroller, asking that
the board forward him all books,
vouchers, bills. etc, for auditing, was
answered by the information that the
books of the board are at the county
hospital any day for his inspection. Un-
der the law creating the board, the
comptroller is directed to make an
audit Of the accounts every three
months but itseldom has been done Ger
tain it is that never have the books
been taken from the building; there
fore, the refusal to send them to Mr
Kelley as requested.
After the board had adjourned, in.
spection was made of the hospital
and everything found to be in splendid
condition.

DENSE SMOKE
FILLED THE AIR
Rubbish Being Destroyed by
Fire al tho Pullman
Works

Dense clouds Of black smoke and
flames leaping into the air within the
yards of the Pullman Palace Car Com
nany's plant this morning created CON
siderable comm0tion in the vicinity of the
works. many persons believing that the
plant was on fire.
II was only another phase. however. in
the work of razing the buildings pre-
paratory 10 the erection of new struc-
lures. The last portion of the repair
shop was pulled down to-day and it now
has the appearance OF having been struck
by cyclone. A greater portion of the
lumber either has been retained for use
in scafiolding or sold for kindling wood.
Even after this there was a large mass of
debris left which was practically useless.
Foreman Cassidy concluded that il
would be cheaper TO burn this class Of
material than cart it away and dump it.
accordingly four bOnfres were kindled on
the space occupied by the old building
tins morning As workmen piled on tim
her and great sheets of tar roofing. the
flames leaped up merry and the atmos-
phere was filled with an odor of burning
wood and tar. BY tonight most of the
debris will be consumed.
In order TO make room for the new
powerhouse which is 10 be- erected ON the
site of the old lumber shed. Mr.. Cassidy
found it necessary 90 cut away a portion
of the south end of the saw mill. Work
ON this was commenced this morning
Inc contractors desire 10 have the power
house up as soon as possible in order to
supply the upholstering department the
laundry and the mirror repair shop which
viii soon be under course of erection and
will be completed in about six weeks.
Mr.. Cassidy has engaged twelve dirt
scoops which will be placed in service in
leveling the ground for the new build
ings. To-day twenty extra men were
employed and the work is progressing
rapidly. The lumber shed was moved
about fifty feet south yesterday after
aoon.
