WAKING UP.
Proposed Organization to Develop
Nevada's Resources.

Asked to do so by a number 0
Washoe county's live men the DISPATCH
advocated the organization of a Nevada
miners association at Reno during fair
week. Because the DISPATCH advo-
Gated it the Reno press. in the disgust
lngly selfish spirit that animates all its
moves, remained dumb.
Then we remarked:
1.-The DISPATCH Is always alive to the
best interests of Washoe county, Reno
included, and always above petty spite.
We cannot believe the progressive men
of Reno agree with the policy Of the
~sllurian newspapers of that burg"
Now the business men Of Reno "are
bringing their local papers to their
milk" A Reno board Of trade will be
organized.
Inc INCiHO JOuiiidi odJo.
"Nevada is the only state in the union
without a board Of trade or chamber Of
commerce. These bodies serve excel
lent purposes. There should be a local
board Of trade in every county in Nevada
to collect data and information regard
ing Nevada's resources. Utah and
Colorado have their mining bureaus
and mining papers. But Nevada sits
idly by without effort.
"Nevada is on the v Of q mining
revival, Notwithstanding the fact that she
has produced upwards of $500. ooo.o 900
the state is today the greatest undevel-
oped mining region in the world.
Legitimate mining enterprises could
be assisted by plenty Of advertising. A
mining exchange and mineral exhibits
In the state would materially assist in
attracting the attention Of the mining
world. Let us advertise Nevada's re-
sources"
A state miners association will be
organized within a few months, and pre-
liminaries can be arranged by cores
pondence and signing the roll which
will be submitted. The state press
favors the proposition. Headquarters
can be located at the place chosen by
the members, and some live town will
eventually have a fine exhibit of the
mineral and ayr cultural resources Of
the state.
The Winnemucca Silver State says:
THE organization of a state miners
association is being urged. Such an
organization would undoubtedly prove
Of great benefit to the mining industry
Of Nevada. Organizations Of this kind
have done their part toward developing
the mining resources of other states Of
the west. and the same results could be
accomplished in Nevada by united effort
on the part Of the miners Of the state"

CLANS NEARLY GONE.
j. r. BoeppIe Returns From Trip Up
the River.


Davenport. July 3l.-The man with
the fiat boat that trails all over the
shallow waters of the Mississippi will
soon be thing of the past, the max
ing of pearl buttons along the river
will cease and the story of its boom
and death will be only an interesting
chapter in the history of western man
]. F. Boepple the pioneer
in the button business in this country,
has Just returned from trip up the
river in which he purchased clans
and studied the condition of the mar
ket and it's future. he above in brief
is the conclusion that he has reached.
Between here and Dubuque, Mr.Boep-
pie said, there are only few OF the
many claiming boats that two years
ago lined the waters edge In many
places. Here and there now is boat
bleaching in the sand. But at Nc
Gregor are about 200 boats all busted
in the work of bringing up the clans.
At Lansing, too, are about 100 boats
in similar occupation, and from
there up to the head of the big water
are scattered lunches of campers pill
ing up the shells.

HARKEN -YE
To the Voice Of Otumwa People

If you will but listen to your friends
and neighbors they will tell you how
the pains and aches of bad back,the
annoyances of urinary troubles, the
nervousness, the restlessness which
come from kidney Ills can be relieved
and cured. Read what one QttumWa
citizen says:
Mrs. Elmer Rutter, of i243 Hickory
street, says: From over exertion l
was seized with an acute attack OF
kidney complaint some time ago. For
a few days | felt poorly, then finally
was taken quite suddenly with most
excruciating pains in my back. 1t
settled in my kidneys and | was lajd
up unable to do the slightest thing and
unfit even to help myself. / knew
what caused the trouble, but how to
check 1t was mystery, In spite OF
treatment it grew worse instead OF
better, and you can readily imagine
what misery a victim suffers who can
neither sit, stand or lie without endur-
ing eXcruciating torture. When at my
wits end noticed a box of Doan's Kid.
