water has fallen, but the downpour
generally has been steady and long.

LETTER FROM MR.. ORwIN.
Says Pine Valley Is Not to Be q
Mormon Settlement.

The SENTINEL Of Aug. 90 stated that
the Pine Valley Land and Stock Com
pany of Utah was negotiating for o
number of ranches in Pine Valley. Eu.
reka County, and that it was said to be
the intention of the company to make
Pine Valley a Mormon settlement.
With reference to the article printed
last week the following letter from
Jesse Orwin, said to be the representa-
tive of the Pine Valley Land and Stock
Company in Nevada, was received at
this office on Wednesday:
PALIsADE, New, Aug. %. 1904.
EDITOR SENTINEL-An article in your
paper of Aug. 20 attracted my attention.
and I would like to insert a few lines
for correction. As I have q lease ON
the Ennor ranch, / am a participant in
a movement to consolidate the ranches
Of Pine Valley, and have taken some
steps to get capital to improve condi-
tons. The deal may go through. or
may not but there has never been any
thought Of making a Mormon settle
ment. For those who have beheld the
progress of the State of Utah, 1t will
not be difficult to appreciate that ever a
Mormon might do better than SOME of
the ir~religious nom Mormons who have
kept the advancement of this State at
bay.
Yours truly,
JESSE ORwIN.

Delega ate Convention assembled. at an
adjourned meeting thereof, held on this
23d day Of August, 1904, in Silver State
Hall at Winnemucca, declare that a cen.
fury of time aud experience have demon.
strated the wisdom of the policy of the
Fathers Of the Republic in their adopt
ing silver and gold coin-the twin hand.
maids Of civilization, of commercial
prosperity and Of the common veal OF
the common people-as the money of the
country.
We denounce the political assassins
who struck down n of these cherished
twins. and we anathematize the political
action Of the political COW ards who say
that its restoration to life and activity
in the business relations Of the people
ssh all rest in allegiance"
In the last two elections for President
of the United States the Silver party. on
principle and not for pelf, voted for the
gallant leader Of the then reconstructed
Democratic party, William ]. Bryan,
who favorsd the free coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio Of 16 to /, u and who
stood upon a free coinage platform; but
the party annot vo to for Alton B.
Parker, who decla red to the St. Louis
Convention that he regarded "the gold
standard as frml y and irrevocably es.
tablished." and t cannot train longer
with the Democratic party. which &C.
quiesced in that declaration and has
gone back to its vomit and its wallow
in the Cleveland. Wall SAeet mire.
On principle the Silver party cap no,
so vote, on principle " can not so train
and 1t viii not SO vote or train for boo.
ne. As the only difference between
the Democratic and Republican partie.
on bi-metallism and many other ques.
lions vital to the welfare of the people,
is that the Republican party has taken
the lead in the wrong policies and the
Democratic party is following in its
footsteps, we are impelled to nominate
an electoral ticket in support of the
candidacy of Thomas E. Watson OF
Georgia for President of the United
States. aud Thomas Tribbles of Ne.
braska for Vice President, who stand
for bi.metallism, and who are two dis.
~tinguished and patriotic American citi.
zens, who can neither be shackled by
cunning nor intimidated by Wall street
dictation. (
We declare that the wage Garner in
every industrial vocation is entitled to
the highest wages that the traffic" will
bear that the opening of the minis to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
with gold will greatly increase the de.
mand for labor and add greatly to the
daily wages Of the laborer in every de.
partment of work throughout the coun.
try, and thus by increasing the demaad
for labor and adding to the wages oil

be removed. and labor strikes them
