Home r1erchantS.

Twice year this city along with the
rest in the State is flooded with circulars
and catalogues from the different houses
on this coast and even the eastern States
get in their work. The men as well as
the women patronize these foreign stores
to more or less extent. and it is we'll
known fact that thousands OF dollars go
out Of this city every year for goods that
could have been bought for practically
the same sum from the home me reliant.
The goods bought from foreign houses
are not confined to fineries, but even
groceries and hardware come from the
houses out of the State. Some people
have furnished their houses with fur
niture from catalogues that they could
have received from the home trader at
the same figures, and given the man that
is paying taxes in this city chance to
make commission. The merchants are
the real life of community. Its their
trading that builds up town and puts
it on the financial map. Without the
support Of the people in their own town,
the merchant orders less goods or else
fails, in which case the town receives
black eye from which it takes u long
time to recover.
When party receives catalogue and
is contemplating sending out of town for
goods they should first consult the home
merchant. In nine cases out Of ten, the
goods will be duplicated at the catalogue
price, and often the customer receives
the benefit Of the freight as the mer-
chant often receives his goods at car
load rates. which is less than half what
the individual purchaser pays. The
trouble Is that most people believe that
they are receiving their goods at less
figure. Suppose they do; hasn't the
home merchant got to live. II they are
to remain residents, they must do busi-
ness, and with the cash that is sent away,
you have cheated the townsman of a
sum that is his by right of business in
your city, where he pays taxes and IL
cense.
The extent Of the catalogue business
in this city is amazing. All one has to
do is to take a look at the freight that is
delivered, and it will surprise the home
people. At the money order depart
ments there is regular banking bust
ness done, with all kinds Of orders for
goods that can be furnished in this city.
Could all the cash that is sent away
every year be spent here, the merchants
would place stock of goods in their
stores that would equal anything on the
coast. and it can DO done by the people
themselves. Carson Appeal.

Great Strike Conn
ing.

Officials of the different railroad
unions announce that vote is being
taken throughout the lodges of the
country on the question of asking the
railroads for an increase in wages Of 20
per cent. The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
BY September 10 the large railway sys-
TENS Of the country will be confronted
with demand by 100000 members Of
the Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen
for an increase in wages, which will
mean an additional outlay Of 81 ,000,0O0
a month for wages, by railroads in the
country or the alternative OF a strike,
which will eclipse in it's extent all pre-
vious strikes, including the demonstra-
ton Of the Railway Union in 1894. The
demands, which have been formulated,
but not yet presented. are for an in.

A Pen Picture.

Tonopah though one OF the latest OF
the newly exploited mining camps of the
great West, has reached stage where
it can consistently and honestly claim
that for age and in proportion to popu
lation, it is the greatest mining camp in
the world, says the Miner.
The town, which now has popula-
ton approximating 1900 souls, is pic
turesauely situated quasi basin like in
the heart Of the San Antonio range Of
mountains, at an elevation Of 6,200 feet
above sea level. To the west of it ex
tends long stretch OF level, sandy
country. but on the north and south.
and here and there to the east the chain
OF mountains continues.
The main thoroughfare OF the town is
wide street closely built ur with busi-
ness houses, and perhaps half mile
long. At its eastern end two roads
branch out at an acute angle, forming
almost the letter Y. Both of these roads
or streets are devoted to residence pur-
poses, and many pretty aud substantial
homes are being erected thereon. On
both sides Of the main street, even up to
the steep incline of the mountains.
houses have been built and tents
stretched, and these are in the main in
habited by as prosperous and happy a
set OF people as ever drew the breath of
life.

BUILDING is GREATLY NEEDED
And People of Americas VIII Assist
the Y. M.C A..

The need of a well-organized and
permanently located Young Mems
Christian Association has long been
felt in Americas. Almost a year ago,
under the auspices of the State Asso-
cation, Christian League with few
active, jealous young men was organ
lied, whose object was to become a
full-fedged member Of the Association.
To the young men the time has arrived,
they believe, for a more active effort,
and the first step is to secure the in
terest and the aid of the people of
Americas. The need of it's own Y. NJ.
Q. A. is imperative. The building
fund has had pledged to it $1,000 by q
nonresident of the State, whose only
interest is in helping the cause. This
gift is conditional upon the raising OF
at least 5000. The men and women
of Americus, it is confidently expected,
will not permit this offer to be lost to
the city, and with the beneficial re-
suits to this community following Or
ganization of the Association no one
will fail to do their part.
The building committee have been
named and will within the next few
days call upon our people to subscribe
to this most worthy cause.
