convention to elect delegates to the ma
tona1 Republican convention said:
Now, my dear boys, don't let us say
things about each other that are harsh;
don't let us have to eat crow, for il is
not DaIatable. Good Lord knows l say
from my heart that 1 hope we will all
keep cool-so that we will be prepared
to go up TO the polls on election day
and vote for the nominee, no matter
who he may be. Whoever we nominate
will be better than any Democrat. Go
to the polls, if you have TO go with a
ballot in one hand and your nose in the
other, but vote the ticket"
Now, what did Senator Scott mean
By urging the Republicans of West
Virginia to "vote the ticket even IF
you have to go with n ballot in one
hand and your nose in the Other?" Just
before making that extraordinary re-
mark he had informed the convention
that both candidates for governor were
his personal friends and his sympa-
thies were divided, SO it evidently was
not the state candidate, whoever is
nominated, that would be crow to
the senator or cause him or his par
tisans to hold their noses.
1t is well known that Senator Scott
was bitterly opposed to President
Roosevelt being nominated for presi-
dent, and as long as Hanna lived he
hoped he would receive the nomination,
but with the demise of that leader hope
died within the breast Of Scott. He
accepted the nevitable-RoOsevelt and
crow or a Democrat. Good Lord
knows, 1 hope we will all keep cool"
Judging from the battle of the eau
cuses and conventions, the shouting of
the captains, the perspiring Of the rank
and file and the evident heat of Scott
himself, it would seem that for those
interested Ito keep cool' under those
circumstances would be difficult.

Effect of imperialism.

The claim that Japan makes in wag-
ing the victorious war against Russia
j. a novel one coming from heather

attention and study. The declaration
i made by the japanese that the war
was not declared for racial or relig-
iuu~ reasons. but 'waS being carried
on to secure for the empire of Japan
and the far east permanent peace"
1t j. further asserted by Japan that
the war i distinctly in the interests
of justice. humanity and the ciSiliZa-
ton of the world. This same >cnti-
ment also emanated from meeting
of the BuddhiSts. ShintoiStS and chris

monarchism and militarism has made
christian Russia unchristian to such
an extent that it should he disciplined

and the maintenance of peace? If
this be true. then * emphasized the

NJ. L. Requa, general manager Of
The White Pine Copper Company,
was Officially notified by wire last
Saturday evening of his appoint.
nent as general manager of the

company's property here. While
t is quite true that Mr.. Requa is
manager of both companies it does
not necessarily mean that a consoli-
lation has been affected or even a
working truce established between
he two at the present time, nor is
his likely to be the clse until the
.ffairs of the Now York company
las been taken from the jurisdic-
lion of the New Jersey court.
However under the new regime
active operations rpol the mines
will begin at once. A vast amount
of development work has already
been outlined and by the next week
we will be able to give our readers
some definite information concern
ing the nature of the work. the fu-
ture policy of the company and
such o her reliable news as will be
of interest to all residents of the
camp.

On Friday afternoon last word
was brought to Ely that a cloud.
burst, forty-fve feet wide and
ten feet deep, was coming down
past Lane City. and that tho lit
tie camp above US was already
covered with three feet of water.

pleasant one for this town, as a
volume of water of such magni.
tude could create untold damage.
All the necessary precautions
We're taken to guard against the
coming danger. and contidence
was freely expressed that the
ditch above town would be able
to carry the water safely through

Some Bad Washouts.

CloudburSts and washoutS in
Tonopah and along the lines of
the Tonopah and the Carson and
Colorado railroads last week
were the most disastrous in the
history of those districts. On
the Tonopah road all of the track
rebuilt after a previous washout
was swept away, and it was a
week before traffic could be re-
sumed. At Walker Lake, near
Hawthorne, the track was under
three feet of water for nearly
four miles and the lake had risen
above it's level from six to nine
feet. Great chasms were washed
in the desert and traffic was in
state of chaos. Tonopah ard
Goldfleld were on the verge Of
starvation, and were temporarily
relieved by the rushing in Of
supplies by the way Of Cold
Springs, Silver Peak and Car
delaria by wagon trains, as over
5000 people had to be fed in the
different camps. Food supplies
ut the camps were practically
exhausted. Flour. bacon and ali
staples had run out, and only
canned goods remained. Heroic
measures had to be adopted. No
lives were lost.
