The first year Of the century has
passed into history. Today we stand
upon the very portal of a new year
and we take this opportunity of ex-
tending cordial greeting to each
and every one, trusting that 1902 may
be year full OF promise and bright
expectations realized. We judge the
future largely by the past and sincere
ly hope it may be one OF prosperity
and happiness to all. We can look
backward with satisfaction to the
good-work accomplished in the year
Just gone, and forward with glad an
'ticipation for greater possibilities OF
progress from every standpoint. In
this beginning of the twentieth GEN.
fury everything about us blossoms to
newness of life. With high ideals in
spired by the handiwork of the Creator
we press forward broadening and
reaching far beyond us toward better
conditions and greater advancement
than we ever dreamed OF before. How
ever, we can only live one day at a
time, and trust for the next, yet we
must ever look upward and onward
buoyed by the hope that springs
eternal. in the human heart. Great
changes are coming in the economic
situations and doubtless We shall all
live to see the dawn at least of great
day when all shall have their share OF
the universal good so lavish in nature.
AS this reaches you there will be a
flicker, curl OF smoke and all that
remains of the log of 1901 will be its
ashes, reminiscent Of memorable
year, a symbol of our deeds-mere
things OF the past. From these ashes,
however, must be recreated new ideas
new ambitions, new hopes, a strong
resolution to think and to do. All
things considered the year 1902
promises to be worth living out, at
least in the state of Washington.

The enlightened physicians who
said President Mckinley would recover
a few hours before death occurred will
ask Congress to settle the bill which
is too enormous fer any ordinary estate
or individual to pay. 1t is probably
proper that the claims should be ad-
justed but not in sum that will
bankrupt the nation.

II that condition in which there is
the boss and the bossed, the master
and the slave, is the desirable condi-
ton, then the extending of suffrage
to the one half OF the human beings
who are denied the right is adverse to
the well-being OF the men, but if true
equality is n better condit on than in
equality, then the step would cerGainly
be hailed with rejoicing by the men.
TO the man who is lover of justice
and believer in equality the granting
of suffrage to the women would be
cause for rejoicing as it would be the
contamination of his wishes in that
respect. To the man who is opposed
to universal suffrage because of the
fact that he believes to sore extent
in "master and slave" so long as he
is the master, universal Suffrage would
come as blessing in disguise for he
would be sure to learn later that real
happiness cannot be the portion of
ole so selfish that he would deny to
Another what he would claim for him
sen. Thus would all, in practice, as
well as in theory, approximate the
golden ideal OF true eqHality, while of
necessity, we would have to measur-
ably depart from our selfish practices
Yes, the extending of the elective
franchise to the women OF our land
would be a blessing and boon to men
as well as to mankind.

OWENS RIVER POWER.
A Great Enterprise Resultant
Upon Bonanza" Report.

Some time ago the BONANZA called
the attention of the mining and indus
trial world to the enormous unutil-
lied energies of Owens river, the
rapids of which cons titute the great
est unappropriated water power on
the Pacific coast. Quite descrip-
tion Of this force awaiting develop
ment was then given, so for the pres
ent it will suffice to refer to the fact
that the stream named-from forty
to fifty feet wide and from five TO
eight feet in depth-falls two thou
sand feet in a distance of fifteen
miles The small falls are number
less, but no great vertical descent
occurs at any one point, necessitat ting
diversion of the water by means of
canals or fumes else the construction
of massive dams, for which there is
no end of loose granite blocks at all
places along the deep channel. The
quantity of water and amount of fall
and pressure to be obtained is limited
only by the applied works.
Tonopah parties have secured
rights at five different points along
the rapids, and the owners have
effected arrangements for compre-
hensive surveys and the application
of engineering ability as to the prac-
tical problems involved. The propo-
sition is of infinite duration, one that
once utilized will earn revenues as
long as natural forces exist or, ac-
cording to the phraseology of old
colonial deeds in York state, as
long as water runs or grass grows.
That the power is to all intents
inexhaustible is now well recognized
| by others. An association of CAPT
talists among whom is Benz. H.
Cramp of the famous Philadelphia
shipbuilding firm, has located three
miles o. the river course, with the
announced object of supplying power
to different localities in nine counties
of California. The locality being on
the eastern side of the toughest and
| highest Sierras, transmission wires
will extend southwark through Owens
valley until practicable crossing
/ is reached in the Walker pass region.
The projectors said to include VIC.
Whitney and J. p. Morgan of New
York now own the noted Reward
mine, situated on the river sixty-fve
miles below the falls; a new 0-stamp
mill is to be there supplied with
power. The same syndicate is the
owners of the Liberty property,
eighteen miles north of Tonopah,
where the preliminary work of ex-
tensive reductio works is now going
on. There is a more or less well-de-
fined suspicion that the Silver Peak
mines are likely to be taken in by
the same aggregation.
BY devoting itself to these all-im-
portant interests capital has before
it a clear task toward revolutionizing
the business of mining throughout all
this region, by harnessing a power
that can be delivered for any pur-
pose anywhere to meet all require
ments and demands.

The Tonopah school opened in good
form on Wednesday, with 100 pupils
registered and two teachers in
charge. Two years ago any one
who predicted the need of such ex-
tensive, or any school facilities at
this place now, would have been ad-
Judged crazy. However, the school
is here and is equipped to stay. The
