OF dancing through the courts,
she visited and helped the poor

She was deeply interested by
the famous Jung Stilling of
Karlsruhe, who followed many
of the principles of Swedenborg.
The eventful year 1914
found her at Karlsruhe, where
sne was a constant guest of the
roval families gathered there.
Up to this time she had taken
no sides in the great political
movements. She had been at
one and the same time the in
innate friend of Queen Louisa of
Prussia, and of Queen Hortense
of Holland, the stepdaughter of
Napoleon. Madame de krudcner
was therefore a welcome guest

Pleads for Funds.

Bishop Moreland of Sacra-
mentO, in charge of the Episco-
pal diocese of Northern Califor-
mia, pleads for an endwment
fund, which, he declared, it was
the duty of Fasteners to help
raise because they largely CON
trolled the mining camps in Ne
vada and California. In $4,000
square miles of Northern Cali
fornia and Western Nevada, the
Bishop said,, the population has
dwindled down to $4,000. In six
counties there is not a Christian
church. In one of the largest
ounties the only place of wor-
sqip is a Chinese josshouse.
Scores of mining camps are
without ministers.

Complaining

Beef and mutton growers of
the West are complaining that
they can't get sufficient cars to
ship their stock to market. This
is a bad condition, but it might
be worse; for instance, not to
have anything to ship. "A sur
plus, so once remarked great
statesman, is easier to handle
than a deficit. . There must be a
surplus of prosperity when the
railroads. with all their mighty
facilities, can't haul to market
the productions resulting from
the energy and enterprise of our
farmers.

FinenesS of Nevada Gold.

There were received by the
San Francisco mint lately sew
eral bars of remarkably fine gold.
The bars came from the camp OF
Goldfield, and were valued at
about $45, 900. They we're OBJ
tanned from the treatment OF
about fourteen and one-half tons
of ore, which gave the remark
able yield of $1,000 a ton. The
purity of the gold, however, is
more noteworthy than even the
richness of the ore, the bars as
saying between 9Sl and 9S7. 5
fine, These bars are said to be
the purest ever received at the
San Francisco mint, and it is
worthy of comment that if the
bars had been a few points finer
they would have reached the
standard Of fineness of the
United States gold coins, namely,
800. The gold in the bullion was
valued as it stood at $20.4l an
ounce, as against $20.67 an ounce
for perfectly pure gold,

A COMMUNICATION

EDITOR NEws:-I noticed your
article in your last issue, in re-
gard to trading at home, which ]
am sure is good healthy advice,
and which should meet with the
approval of every good citizen
that has real interestin his town.
How many people never stop
to think of what Importance it is
to leave their >mohey they send
away among community that
they are, to a certain extent, de-
irving their living from, if not
directly, at least indirectly. All
kinds of schemes are worked on
this community which are not
legitimate. Parties who pay no
license, taxes, rents, clerk hire,
in fact nothing that brings a
revenue to the town, peddling
and selling goods from samples
without license. We ask if this
is a fair way to do business, and
let the merchant, with his tax
able stock of goods, besides his
town and county licenses, to
stand the expense of supporting
our little town, and many other
things that could be mentioned.
The sooner the citizens of Ely
look to their own interests in re-
gard to patronizing home mer-
chants, home industries and home
industries, so soon will you see
other industries in our midst.
Fair property will be worth
moro, your town will assume new
life, and your merchants will be
able to give you values that you
cannot duplicate outside OF your
home town.
One more word in regard to
trading at home. When you
need an article>i a hurry and
have not got spot cash, do you
go outside to look for il ?? Your
school teachers and public Off
GERS derive their support from
taxpayers and principally the
business men who pay the bulk
of the licenses and taxes that
support such Institutions.
And then again, who do YOU
go to when you want contrlbI-
tions for IA Fourth of July cele-
bration or "a public demonstia-
ton on Labor Day. 1t is to our
home merchants you apply, and
not to some concern in an East
ern State.
Study this little article and ask
yourself if you are one OF them.
