A WRITE-UP OF
OUR TOWN.

Battle Mountain dates her his
tory from about 1870, when the
discovery of galena end copper
mines caused most of the business
interests Of Argenta to nov to
Battle Mountain.
The town is most centrally loca-
ted from a mining and commercial
standpoint. 1t is the center of a
very rich mining country-a coun-
try with a splendid mining past
and a country with a great future.
Among the early pioneers who
cast their fortunes in Battle Noun
tain was the late J. A.. Blossom,
whose business is now conducted
by his son, Robert Blossom.
Among the pioneers of the los
are J. w. civilians, engaged in
merchandising; A. Robertson,
agent of Wells Fargo; l.. D..
Huntsman, hotel keeper; A. Lay
ton, freighter; Case & Burneele,
stage owners, and ID. McFlyn.
Many changes have taken place.
The. pioneers have most of them
gone across the Great Divide.
Battle Mountain, passing through
the many vicissitudes typical of
western towns, stands to-day at
the beginning of a new era with a
future rosy with promise and full
of possibilities.
In considering the Nevada OF
to-day we are not so much con-
cerned with the history of the
past, thrilling and at times path
etc, as we are of its real, live OPP
portunities right at hand.
Battle Mountain is a busting,
busy, business town. The stock
interests are large and substantial.
Its agricultural possibilities un-
limited and with the building of
the Rock Greek reservoir, Battle
Mountain would easily be a center
for $1,000 people.
Battle Mountain itself comprises
a wonderful mining district and it
was here that John Kirk in 1857
with a party of road builders had
a fight with Indians and hence
the name of Battle Mountain.
The great mining activity near
Austin, reached by the Nevada
Central railroad, whose terminus
is at Battle Mountain, gives assur-
ances that the railroad will in the
near future be extended to Berlin
and the other mining camps and
the hope exists that Battle Noun
tain will be the junction of the
Los Angeles connection of the
Southern Pacific railroad.
This Summer has seen a large
number of residences erected and
some very substantial business
structures by M. Horton, son of
late State Controller Horton, and
by A. ID. Lemaire. Mr.. /. Solo
mon, whose business house is just
being completed, will shortly open
a large store. w. G. Hancock has
made a number of up-to-date i'm
provements to his hotel, which is
now one of the leading hostelries
along the s. P. line in Nevada.
From a business standpoint the
outlook for Battle Mountain was
never better. The large stock in
terests of George Russell have
headquarters here and Bob Blossom
has also large land and stock in
terests here.
The CENTRAL NEvADAN which
has lately changed hands and is in
the control of Henry r. Lemaire,
has adopted a policy which can
well be emulated by the Nevada
press. Since he assumed charge
of the paper he has devoted much
space to the writing up of the re-
sources of Battle Mountain. Each

THAT oMN1poTENr MINORITY

The Pioneer Press is seeing things at
night. The latest bug-a-boo that has
disturbed its otherwise restful repose'
is an image of the Democratic minority
killing the primary election bill. With a
pathos that would bring tears to the eyes
of hardened criminal, it tells Of the
merciless Vaccinations of the Demo-
Gratis with two exceptions) to kill its
pet measure.
eff the bill is (cG killed. exclaims the
Press midst it's tears, ''pains will certain-
ly be taken by every Republican paper
in the state at the very next election
to call to the attention of the wavering
vote that the Democratic minority in the
senate made it impossible for the people
of the state to protect themselves against
the cGLtrol of oligarchies and machines"
Now wouldn't this make you late! Just
how small Democratic minority is 60
ing to out-vote the Republican large ma
jority, the Press does not state. And
when the people who are groaning under
the Republican machine are informed by
the Republican press of the stdte that
the Republican majority in the senate
refused to allow them to escape by
means of the primary law, how will they
feel toward that party of oligarchies
and machines? Why don't the Republic n
members caucus and pass the primary
bill as a party measure? They have the
votes Will the Press be little more
explicit and let the public know just
how the Democratic minority is going to
kill the primary bill without the consent
of the Republican majority. And will
the Press also explain how the Republi-
can press at the next election is going
to cover the Democratic minority with
the mud of reprobation on account of the
defeat of the primary bill without be-
daubing the controlling majority.
The Saint Paul globe., 1901-04-02


Being prisoner of war, Aguinaldo is
naturally under the control of the Unit
ed States military authorities and is sub
ject to their orders. If the commander
in-chief of the army says go" the Fill
pino chieftain has no alternative but to
hike; and if the same authority bids him
stay, he has no choice but to remain.
If the correctness of this postulate be
conceded, as it must be, 1t is easy to
see where the government can reim-
burse itself, to certain extent at least,
for the expense to which it has been
put in the capture of the willy Filipino
leader. Among the people who live in
the United States, there exists an al
most Unsuitable desire to gaze upon the
forms and faces of those who have either
achieved greatness or had it thrust upon
them; and for the qualification of this
propensity, they are willing to separate
themselves from such loose change as
they may have in their pockets, even
though the butcher and the baker are
invited to call again next week when
they present their bills at the door
There are some millions of people in this
country who would gladly pay a good
| round sum to see Aguinaldo. Suppose,
| then that a company be formed com
posed of him as the star, and that he
be surrounded by a company made up
of Tagalogs, Filipinos, SuIus and such
other representatives OF our newly
adopted countrymen as may happen to
be behind bolts and bars The prelim-
mary rehearsals could be begun in
Manila and kept up during the voyage
ance on this side of the Pacific could be
arranged by Adjt Gen Corbin, who
would of course be the business man
ager of the show" AS soon as the
| company landed in San Francisco, it
would be ready money for Uncle Sam,
! and golden stream would begin forth
with to empty itself into his Golfers.
1t is further suggested, that, by way
of giving variety to the entertainment.
Mark Hanna and Gen. Otis be added to
the cast of characters. The former could
| give an impersonatien Of the president
| Of the United States of America-a stunt
in which he could scarcely fail of sue
cess, since he has virtually been it for
/ the past four years-and the latter to
| garb himself in a gold bespangled uni
| form. stroke his luxuriant whisker and
! try to look wise The latter effort, would
| 1t is confidently believed, be one of the
| funniest turns" ever seen on any stage.
| and would throw the audience into par
oxysms Of laughter. There could be no
doubt of the financial success of the ver-
ture, and any balance remaining after
| the payment of necessary expenses could
! be either covered into the treasury and
credited TO the Philippine war fund or
be distributed among the officers of the
army now in the Orient and relieve their
| necessities to SUCH an extent that 1t would
| be unnecessary for them to steal sup
| plies sent over for the soldiers to subsist
| upon and sell them to the restaurant
and hetelkeepers. as seems to have been
their custom. Further, it would be a
fitting finale to the opera bouffe war we
have been waging against a liberty. .ov-

plain, safe and inexpensive system, COM
pared with the present one, and does
most earnestly urge. our senators and
representatives to support this bill and
thereby relieve our real estate properties
from this archaic and burdensome sys-
tenn.
Now if the real estate men of Mime
apolis and Duluth will adopt correspond
ing resolutions and take steps individu-
ally and collectively to see that their
representatives in the legislature uphold
the hands of Senator Snyder. it is quite
likely that the measure will yet be
passed.
If the members of the city delegations
in the legislature will cooperate for the
enactment of this measure, it cannot be
beaten. While the present system is less
burdensome in the country districts.
where titles are young and land trans
fers comparatively few, the members
from those districts will gladly cooper
ate in the movement to further simplify
and render less inexpensive the transfer
of property. They will not be amenable
to the influences which we all know to
be interested in maintaining the present
fair proportion of the city members, will
secure a reform as important as any
which has during this session engaged
the attention of our lawmakers
The Saint Paul globe., 1901-04-02
A SPLENDID EXAMPLE,

The members Of the real estate ex-
change of ST. Paul have taken step
which should be followed by every or
ganization of real estate men in every
city in the state, and which should in.
duce individual real estate dealers
throughout the state to do likewise: The
st. Paul realty men have urged upon
the state legislature the sleedy adoption
of the Torren's system of land transfer,
and they have characterized, as it should
be characterized, the present burden
some, cumbersome and foolishIy ex-
pensive and insecure plan of land regis
tration.
This is a most valuable departure.
Heretofore no one seemed to care any
thing about the subject of reform of land
titles. It was nobody's' business partic-
ularly, and therefore, passed without any
consideration being bestowed upon 1t.
Every Intelligent and informed person
agreed that it would be valuable
change; but there was no one to take
the initiative, and hence it remained
practically outside the realm of prob
able accomplishment.
For the benefit of the members of the
legislature whose attention may thus be
more readily directed to the action of the
ST. Paul exchange. we here reproduce
the admirable resolutions adopted. They
are as follows:
Whereas, The present system Of land
transfers is exceedingly cumbersome,
veKatious and expensive, and is always
attended with more or less risk to pur-
chaserS, and is so antiquated in all the
forms and methods as to be in strange

A MUcH-NEEDED SYSTEM

The veto imposed by the governor on
the bill providing for a uniform sys-
tenn of public accounting, whether or not
it operates as such, is regrettable. 1t
may be, and doubtless is, rendered nee
essary by the passage of the board OF
control measure. To that extent the
governor may be right in imposing his
veto; but as general proposition there
is no measure of public interests which
can have a more wholesome effect than
a uniform system of accounts in all the
departments of the state government.
The wisdom of such a measure is fore
ing itself on the consideration of the
Public opinion is becoming more and
more pronounced in it's favor; and 1t
will doubtless be but a comparatively
short time before it is in general opera
ton
Some responsible state official-the
state auditor preferredAshould be called
upon to prescribe a uniform system OF
accounting for the several departments
covering the full period of each fiscal
year. They should be made to the auditor
or whatever other officer is chosen to
have supervision of state accounts, and
their correctness certified to by him,
and should be afterwards resubmirted to
the governor and to the state legisIa-
ture. They should contain among other
information an accurate statement in
summarized as well as in detailed form
of all moneys received and of all moneys
paid out, to whom paid, for what specific
purpose. and on what authority. They
should be attended by daily reports of
>,urrent transactions.
If such a system were adopted, at
tended by a regular and detailed exam
nation at stated periods or at such
times as might be thought important by
the examining official, whether the state
auditor or public examiner, there would
be in operation a system of public ae-
countabinty which would prove of the
utmost value to the people and would
preve at once extravaganza and cor
ruption on the part of public officials. 1t
would moreover be possible fer any in
telligent citizen interested in the admin
istration of the affairs or his state, with
very little preliminary information to
inform himself accurately as to the exact
condition of the finances of the state
and Of its public administration.
The present system of accounting in
practical operation Is of little avail in
fixing official responsibility or Offering
enlightenment to any but these who are
expert accountants and are thoroughly
versed in the business transactions or
the state. From time to time there is
more or less enlightenment offered to
the people through the messages of the
governor and through the report of the
state auditor; but the information usual
ly comes in such form that it has little
or no meaning for the average way
farer With a uniform system of ac-
counting in operation, the main prin-
ciple of which might be easily under
stood, it would be the fault of the peo-
pie themselves were they net enlightened
on their public concerns.

ARMY FRAUDS in MANILA.

The people will not be surprised at the
unearthing of army frauds in Manila It
is only a wonder that the governor gener-
al allowed the facts to become public If
allowed the facts to become public If
we do not forget, young man by the
name of Rice was deported not so long
ago for attempting to expose frauds in
the management of the harbor and dock
age of Manila by a military officer
Army frauds flourish because of the
tendency to cover up the tracks of any
one with shoulder straps. To an army
officer the reputation of another army
officer is very sacred. The question of
innocence or guilt does not cut any figure
in the case. This is taught at West
Point. There cadet who will reveal the
crimes of another cadet is at once marked
for slaughter. He has not the right stuff
in him to make a gallant soldier 1t is
to be hoped that this scandal will be
probed to the bottom by the war depart
ment, even if it involve one so high as
the governor general of the Philippines.
McArthur's management of the Philip
pine situation has been no more credit
able than was that Of Gen. Otis. 1t
is high time that he was removed and
Gen. Chaffee placed in charge. This
programme which has been mapped out
for some time should take place at once.
The deportation of Rice, while not in
itself a matter of great Importance,
undoubtedly had a marked influence on
the Doodle gang in the commissary
department When it became known that
any criticism on an army officer in print
would be followed by deportation, the
public was not likely to learn through
the press of the misdeeds of army
officers. 1t is to be regretted that the
prosecution Of those engaged is under
the management of an army officer.
Here is place for the Taft commission
to get in it's work.
