Departed for the East.

Chris Hilocker arrived in town last
Friday after an absence of about three
years. During this time he has BEEN in
Southern Lander and Nye county, en-
gagged mostly in prospecting, but says
that be was not crowned with success
for he was not lucky enough to strike it
rich. Chris left on No. 6 last Saturday
for Kansas City. where he has a couple
of brothers residing. and expects to re.
main there some little time visiting with
them, after which be will go to Colum-
bus, Ohio, to visit his sisters and at
which place he will make an extended
visit. He is undecided whether he will
return or not.

Good Outlook.

The farmers and stockmen are wear
ing huge smiles since the recent storm
and well they may. The ranges have
been thoroughly soaked to a consider
able depth and only wait the coming Ut
the next warm wave to send forth snoots
of tender grass in abundance to keep
the range stock in this part Vt the State
in excellent condition the coming sea-
son. In a few weeks the stock will be
branded and turned out to Craze upon
the prolific ranges, and the owner will
not need to worry for fear the feed will
be insufficient.
During the latter part of the storm
large quantities of snow fell in the
mountains. This has drifted into the
canyons and insures a plentiful supply
of water for the farmer.
For the farmer and stockman the com
ing season will be one of the most pros
porous in the history of Nevada.

Storm Still Continues.

Nevada has been visited by one of the
most copious rain storms that the State
has ever enjoyed. Rain has fallen in the
rast two weeks to so thoroughly soak the
ground that renders a dry year out of
the question. That is not all. Snow
has fallen in the high mountains west
to a great depth. 1t has been a glorious
storm and one which will add great
value to this years crops. Feed is start
ing on the ranges and in another month
will be sufficiently advanced to make
beef and mutton.

full and the design is very artistic. Their

upon the backs of the medals. They
were made in San Francisco and are
highly priced by both.

Will See Renewed Activity.

Next spring it is thought that all the
mining camps in Nevada will take on
renewed activity and that the hills will
be full of prospectors. People are just
beginning to realize what a mining
State is. Colorado has had her whirl at
the wheel of fortune and was rapidly fork-
ing ahead when the trouble between the
mine owners and labor came up, since
which time Colorado has been going
down Hill very rapidly. Nevada. how
ever, has not yet seer what real activity
in minirg is, but it is said that this sum
mer will see a great movement, not only
in mining but in Northumberland

WORK TOGETHER FOR THE BRIDGE.

The representative body of men
who met in the City Hall, Wodnes-
day, to consider tho new Raritan
river bridge evidently mean to &C
oomplish something in regard to COM
pleting the structure and the sound
reasoning and willingness to get to-
gether, which was manifested, means
SUCCESS. The f~reeholders, city officials,
trolley company and manufacturers
were represented. 1t was decided to
see the trolley people in an effort to
ret them to r%olinquish their franchise
on the north approach. The repre-
sentatives of the company, who were
present, now thoroughly understand
the situation and see that the officials
concerned are willing to listen to any
reasonable proposition. The county
board wants to get the elephant off
its hands and the city wants the trade
and business from the south side of
the river. Likewise the trolley COM
pany wants to get its cars across the
structure. In the face of this, it
would seem that the trolley people
would be willing to do its part and by
maintaining the harmony which now
prevails the structure should soon be
open for traffic. 1t will doubtless be
necessary for all concerned to give up
something, but it should be done
willingly to accomplish the enc de-
sired object.

This matter of mosquito exterminn-
ton has gotten beyond the stage
where it is a source of amusement. In
other sections of the STATE, particu-
larly around Newark and Elizabeth
and in Cape May county, tho efforts
to kill the pest have been very sue
cessful. Acres of meadow land have
been drained or opened so that the
little fish can get into the trenches to
feed. This subject should not bc
ignored in Perth Amboy and vicinity.
If it was not for the mosquitoes thoir
would be nothing to maj the pleasures
of a summer evening. If the subject
cannot be taken up officially, the bust
ness men might take the matter under
consideration. With the cooperation
Of the other towns, the cost to each
one would not be large in proportion
to the benefits derived.

THE MOSQUITO PEST.

campaign of last year was carried on
with much success throughout the

A UNITED EFFORT NEEDED.

The request Of the Street Commits
sioner that the property owners CO.
operate with him in the effort to get
the sidewalks throughout the city
Strengthened is q reasonable one and
will doubtless be complied with will
ingly. Everyone knows that the pres
ent condition of the walks is any
thing but satisfactory. The brick
sidewalks are, in many instances,
broken and have sunk out of shape !;
while the fiagstones do not join even
ly and not only make places to stub
over but form depressions for puddles
in stormy weather into which people
splash before they know it Not only
is it these things which it is desired
to correct, but in many cases, especial
ly at crossings, the curbstone stand
several inches above the pavement and
is dangerous to all who are not
familiar with the path they travel.
whenAA property owners realize
thatlall are to be treated alike in this
matter there is hardly any doubt but
that they will join heartily in tho
movement to place the city's side
walks in first class condition. There
is not a person, but who can see tbs
need of this improvement and if
everyone will do his part willingly
there need be no trouble or hard feel
ings Notices will be SEM out calling
the property owners attention to his
walk and specifying IL limited tim {
in which lie can get the work done
himself Nothing can be more fair
than that. At the expiration of tn,
time, if the work is not started, it
will DO done by tho city and charged
against the property n This is
also reasonable, for those who will
ingly comply with the request should
not be made to suffer if some refuse.
1t is a general movement to improve
Perth Amboy, something in which,
there is no doubt, every citizen will
join in hearty accord.

ANOTHER EXECUTIVE ORDER

The substitution of executive and
goes on apace. The latest instance is
the regulation announced by the acting
postmaster general providing a sched-
ule of payments for extra service in the
postoffice in separating the mail. The
system, we fancy, is a good one. Ger
tainly where extra help is needed and
given it should be arranged for not
arbitrarily, or on a basis of political
pull, but compensation should be adj
justed to service rendered. In prac-
teal detail there is probably little just
criticism to be made of the new postal
order. although one may doubt whether
it viii interfere vastly with the allow
ances made for political purposes to
Republican members in all the con-
gressional districts.
The point of the moral is that this
system, wise or otherwise, is estab-
lished by official regulation after con-
gress had refused to act. Just such a
regulation as this was proposed and
voted down. It ought to have passed
The conclusion which we wish to drive
home is that an evil situation is better
endured than great Improvement
upon it if the latter is effected without
warrant of law.
The neglect Of congress on the one
hand to do it's duty, the willingness of
officials to extend their prerogative, and
the subsequent. Indifference of con-
gress to usurpation of its functions as
long as it is not called upon to do any
thing, are responsible for a change

TAMS BIXBY PAYS
CITY FLYING VISIT
Dawes Commission Chairman Suspect
ed of Dabbling in Politics

Tams Bixby, chairman of the Dawes
Indian commission, spent few hours
in st. Paul yesterday, coming from his
home at Red Wing. Bixby's visit to st.
Paul is said to have had no political
significance, it being reported that he
came to confer with business associates
in the Bemidji Townsite company, in
which he is heavily interested.
There are those who say, however
that the Goodhue county statesman is
taking an interest in the political game
in Minnesota. He was not in the state
during the preconvention fight but his
friends and business associates at Red
Wing were closely identified with R. c..
Dunn's campaign for the Republican
nomination, and Bixby's advice and
counsel are being sought in determin-
ing the complexion of the state central
committee.
While the makeup of the committee
is the single topic of conversation
among the Republican leaders, it is
very generally understood that Senator
Clapp will not name the committee I'M
til about Aug. 1.
