John Wesley was born in June, 1908 but the

son Hall. w. c. Van Arsdel, who is taxi
ing an active interest in the arrangements,

will respond to appropriate toasts are Sem
ators Fairbanks and Beveridge.

FESTIVAL CHORUS REHEARSAL
Conductor Louis Evans Impressed
with the Work of the Chorus.

with the Work of the Chorus.
Louis Evans, of the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, conducted the rehearsal of the
May Festival chorus at the hall in Short
ridge High School last night. Mr.. Evans has
been ill with rheumatism for three weeks,
which prevented his continuing the work
he began last month, but he
found the chorus had made abun-
dant progress in the study of the parts of
the three great works-"Stabat Mater by
Rossini, Elijah by Handel and 1.-THE Gre
alton by Hadyn. BY illuminative instruc-
tions last night Mr. Evans brought out
much more effectively the character Of THE
Creation"
Mr.. Evans says the chorus, which COM
prises over 200 of the city'S best singers,
should be permanently organized and liber-
ally supported in regular concerts during
the season. He says II contains the nucleus
of an excellent choral organization and
should not be permitted to disband after
the festival.
The final rehearsal will be held at Short
ridge High Sshool next Wednesday night.
Rehearsals during the following week will
be with the Chicago Orchestra at Englishs
Opera House, where the festival will be
held May Is and 10.

as a poor man has to in this day and age"

TO CELEBRATE.

Tonopah should, and no doubt will,
this year, Guido all previous efforts
in the way of celebrating the great
natal anniversary-the American day
of days. There is no lack Of means
and public spirit. but it is good time
for people to get move on. Mem
bers of the general committee who
had charge of arrangements upon
the last occasion is the proper au-
thority to call a public meeting now,
at which new executive body may
be selected, organized and delegated
the usual powers. The sooner such
a call is issued the better The hon
ored officers of the day need time to
think up, while all the civic societies
and organizations which will doubt
less participate require most of the
remaining time for preparation.
Let them get at it and provide for a
selection of the Goddess Of Liberty
by popular vote

community of fifty thousand can be
afforded. The expense would be in
considerable compared to the para
mount requisite Of health and safety
of residents and sojouruers. Prop
erty must contribute pro rata to
the municipal good else become value
less in itself.
The present situation is at once de-
plorable and intolerable. There are
no county officials who consider it
any part of their bounden duty to
care for the stranded who may in
the hurlyburly get sick and finally
lie down on the street TO die. There
is no county or unsupported hospi-
tai in Tonopah All the hades is due
to the utter incompetency OF a
county government system to handle
the proportions Of city. Neither
the liberal fraternal societies, unions
or individual charity should be i'm
posed upon, as such have been.
Organized private capital is en-
gagged upon the work of and will fur
nish Tonopah all water needed for
domestic and public purposes. To
provide fire mains, hydrants and
hose; to construct a central sewer
are the two most pressing necessi-
ties. For the purpose of accom-
plishing this and all other progress,
the act referred to is comprehensive
and efficient, in that it authorizes the
people to incorporate and go ahead,
thereby equalizing the burden OF ex-
pense.
Shallit be done? What organization
or public spirited citizen cares to
lead and receive merted thanks?
The preliminary business is simple

GINNING EXCHANGE"

The BONANZA is in receipt Of the
"Officia! Daily List, San Francisco
& Tonopah Mining Exchange, "
which represents quotation of stock
sales on that board.
+ The thing has decidedly unpleas-
ant odor. If the quotations repre-
sent actual sales, Tonopah mine Sc
curities are worth from forty to
fifty percent less in San Francisco
than right here. There is more
money and stock changing hands
here in day than is reported by
that institution in a week. There
are more values involved in these
home transactions. Dealers there are
little else than "rats. The concern.
in the first instance, had no moral
right whatever to tack onto its
name the word "Tonopab. Its list
of purported membership contains
the names of prominent Tonopah
men who disclaim and have repudi-
ated all connection with it. As was
anticipated at the outset, its opera
tion is likely to work more injury
to the mines of this district than any
other or all other causes combined.
There is no aid or legitimate business
in it. Prevailing corporate methods
here do not require its existence,
and it is well .founded belief among
mine operators here that the sooner
it is ended the better.
