EDITORIAL COMMENT
"OLD SETTLER"
W. c. Black, Editor

NTOW that the Carson Sink section is about to come into its
~ own, we should not overlook the good done for this locality
by the 'old settler nor the part he has played in bringing the iri-
cation possibilities to the eyes of the outside world. Present de
velopments presage a genuine transition for all local conditions,
and for it all there should be extended to the "old settler a debt of
gratitude. He alone is responsible for present conditions, for had
i not been for his hardy fortitude in Drawing the frontier life upon
the Great American Desert and his industry in developing its latent
resources. the Carson Sink might have lain dormant for many
generations to come. The tales of hardship attendant upon his
work are legion and after two generations, during which
= = They built for centuries, not that brief pan
Marked BY The lifetime of one age or man,
he now gracefully gives way to the installation of more modern
methods, as represented by the work of the Government Reclama-
tioa Department, but still, with that mborn nature of activity
and thought for public good, he is an enthusiastic advocate OF
present events and lends every possible aid to the work of reclaim
ing the arid lands that have been tributary to his own through
these two generations. We repeat, the early pioneers work must
not be forgotten. for his industry and thrift furnishes a most
striking example for future generations.
These is a phase of the Carson Sink irrigation project and the
entire development of this vast agricultural community apart and
distinct from the Government work, in which the 'old settler has
played a most important part, and not excepting the Reclamation
service, he stands today the chief actor in the industrial drama
that bids fair to have for it's closing act the up building of thous-
ands of beautiful homes and all that goes to make up a vast mod,
en agricultural section of irrigated lands. The possibilities ore
beyond the dreams of the optimist, but the change that is about
to ensue reflects much credit upon the former Lords OF the desert
We admire and respect the "old settler for the work he has
done, the example. rich in its lessons OF perseverance and thrift,
which he has placed before the rising generation. Mayt the closing
years OF his life glisten with the sunbeams Of prosperity and may
those Of the present, as well IS coming generations, admire and
respect him in like manner, for
Strong we're the qualities in them combined,
Joined in each man strong muscle and strong mind.
Theirs industry which wins in scanty soil,
The tempered pride which stoops to honest toll;
Behold the land their ton-worn fingers formed.

Not A "Model" Prison.

Bro. Russell OF Elko Free Press
is rather stirred up over the po-
sition a great many of the State
papers have taken in praising
the Nevada State prison and re-
ierring TO it as Il model" As he
speaks from personalk nO Wedge,
having formerly been an employe
at the institution and thus be
ing thoroughly conversant with
the situation. his statement may
he 1.knsidered authentic. Among
othf things, he SAYS:
THE Nevada State prison is a
disgrace to the State. 1t is unfit
for the confinement of any hu-
man being. however depraved,
and we hope the day is not far
distant when a part Oft at least
will be condemned.
Warden Considine, beyond
doubt, like his predecessors, uses
every means possible to over
come Objectionable features, but
there are certain things about it
which cannot be overcome.
The cells in which the prison
ers of the Nevada State prison
are obliged to sleep and in which
they must necessarily spend most
of their time, are hardly fit for
dogs. They are very small. be
ing but about seven feet square
and most of them with hardly
any ventilation. With three men
in each of these cells thirteen
hours a day, some true idea OF
the conditions may be gained.
The cells are arranged in two
tiers on either side Off narrow
corridor. The top tier is made
of sheet iron and is within about
a foot Of the ceiling. The bot
tom is OF stone. The only venti-
lation which these cells have is
from the corridor, and it is not
an exaggeration to say that in
the mornings before the prison
ers are turned out of their cells
the air in this corridor is almost
sitting. The cells are kept per-
fectly clean, and regularly VENT
lated and fumigated, but they
are nevertheless a most miser-
able and unfit place to contine
human beings. All human be

NEW CAMP IS READY,
"Bonny View" is Name ot This Cheer
 ful and Picturesque Ranch.

While many local merchants have been aware Of the procedure in con- struction of this health resort. public notice has been withheld until the pres ent time.
 The management is under the per- sonal supervision of Eugene Todd, who for the past year has been in Phoenix, coming here primarily for his own health, and bringing with him very carefully compiled details for con- structiOn conduct, dietary, etc, as adopted by the greatest specialists Tn the care and cure of those ailments for which the Arizona climate has long been famous in it's results
 Mr. Todd is not a physician. For eight years he was assistant general superintendent of Siegel Cooper Co.'S big department store in New York City, just prior to coming here. During this period tho care of tine $500 employees fell on his shoulders and a part of his business was to pro- vide for them during sickness. He says that he has had as many as twelve employees at one time boarding with New Jersey farmers, when run down" all expenses being defrayed.
 This experience proved to him the absolute necessity of getting away from town and habitation generally, ill illness-away from dust and sewerage and out into-the=open air-that itwas

 HE PUT UP HIS WATCH-E. Ruiz was before Justice Burnett yesterday for drunkenness and disturbance of the | peace. There was no doubt of his guilt and he admitted it. He was fin ! ed ST. He had only four with him but he said he had great deal more money at the Star lodging house where he was stopping. Officer Olea went with him after it but on their arrival there Ruiz remembered that he had made mis- i take He had however a silver watch ! which was worth more than $9. That was taken by the officer with the pTi- 1 village to Ruiz to redeem.
 ANOTHER DAN KELLY-In the | list of the police arrests reported yes- l terday morning was one Dan Kelly taken up the previous night for drunk enness. That Dan eKlly is a hobo of whom the police know nothing. There 1 is another Dan Kelly in town and quite
 well known citizen here and ir rPes- colt. He is a member of the Eagles and other orders. When he appeared on the street yesterday morning it ap- peared to him that everybody had been l reading the police item in The Repub- 1 lican and all of MT. Kelly's friends eX pressed surprise at seeing him at large l The purpose of all this is to say that the latter Dan Kelly is not the man under arrest who is still in jail.

not only better for the patient, but also much better for the town folks as well.
 With all this in view he purchased the open tract just north of the Mes singer orange grove, just six and one half miles north on Cave Creek road, from the Christy estate. This site is about 150 feet higher than Phoenix, near the base of the mountains, the roads being perfectly dry while still muddy in town.
 A well of 163 feet depth was drilled reaching an abundance of absolutely pure water.
 Upon this tract have been erected about fifteen tent cottages of new and most artistic design, the woodwork being painted restful shade of green. They are placed fifty feet apart, not huddled together as is sadly the case in many so-called health camps.
 Perfect ventilation, under easy con trol, is assured through the details in construction.
 Cottages are costly fitted with metal wash. stands and bed, rockers, table, stove, desks, chiffonier, etc.
 The dining room is a long substan- tially constructed building with separ- ate tables for guests or parties. That the service and meals will be the best obtainable goes without saying.
 4 free private stage will carry pas sengers, baggage or mail daily MT. Todd says there will be no "ex- tras" or inCidentals above the weekly rate. Guests may follow their own physicians dietary, and will be furnish. ed, without extra cost, all the eggs rich milk and cream, etc, they desire, at the hours required.
 All local physicians have the liberty of the camp, or guests may use the daily stage for coming to their offices, at will
 The arrangements of the camp are such that persons may be either as eX- elusive or sociable as they choose. The plan provides all of the open air ad- lyantages of ranch and camp life, with out the hardships.

English Cabinet Resigns.

London, Dec. 4.-The liberal crisis in
the United Kingdom reached climax
today when Arthur j. Balfour, the pre-
mier, formally rendered the designations
of himself and the members of his cab
met to King Edward, who accepted
them, His majesty has invited Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman to an in
terview tomorrow, when he will offer
him the mission of forming new cabi-
net. Sir Henry will accept the task,
and within a few days a new govern
ment will be formed. 1t would now ap-
pear that the entire program has been
cut and dried for sometime.
1t is stated that Lord Roseberry will
be entirely ignored in the makeup of
the new cabinet, and that John Morley
will be enc of the chief advisers of Sir
Henry in drawing up the list of his Off
cial family which will be presented to
his majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered
likely to go to the Indian Office and it
is probable that Herbert Henry AS
quith will be chancellor of the exche-
auer. The foreign affairs portfolio
will go either to Lord Elgin or Sir Ed
ward Grey, though the latter is consid-
cred likely to be made secretary for the
colonies.

In Memorlam.

DR.. Thomas Lawrence Painter was
born on Cripple Creek in Wythe county,
the 18th day of July, 1S41. His boy
hood days were spent on his fathers
farm, and when the war broke out be-
tween the States he enlisted in the
Southern cause with the first volunteers
and served through the four years war.
He entered the Medical College of
Virginia in 1866 and was graduated from
there in 1868. He began the practice
of medicine at Tazewell, Va, then JEFF
fersonville, and after one year he moved
to LibertyIHill, Tazewell county, where
he at once entered a large and lucrative
practice. Possibly year later he mar
ried Ellie, daughter of VIM. M. Giles
pie. In those days doctors were few
and far between, and his field covered
a radius of many miles and entered four
or five counties. For thirty years he
was an active and cheerful worker, car
rying rays of sunshine and hope into
many homes. He was a gentleman by
breeding and rearing; an affectionate
and loyal husband; kind, patient and
sympathetic father, and genial and
attractive friend or companion. He
kept an open house always, and in his
home and around his freside were seen
to perfection those graces that will for
ever mark the old type of the Virginia
gentleman.
In his contact with the members of
his profession he was ethical and con-
servative always, and in the last years
of his life he served his fellows as presi-
dent of the Tazewell Medical Society.
He died at Tazewell, Va, November
9th, 1905, of acute Brights disease.
The above was submitted to the Med
ical Society by DR., r. B. Gillespie, and
ordered published by the Tazewell Med
ical Society.

PLUMB BOB THROWN INTO CAR.
Missile Came Near Striking an officer on
the Presidents Train.

Washington, December 3.-As Presi-
dent Roosevelt's special train was pass
ing through North Philadelphia at 7:S(
yesterday evening, en- route to Wash
ington, some unknown person hurled
mason's plumb bob through one of the
windows of the combination cal
Salvius,
The implement was of iron and
weighed about two and a half pounds.
1t fell at the feet of Maj. Webb Hayes,
a son of the late President Hayes, who
was passenger on the train. Frag-
ments of broken glass fell on Major
Hayes, but fortunately he was in nc
wise injured.
The car Salyius was the forward cal
of the train, and might easily have
been mistaken for the Presidents pri-
vate car. Major Hayes was sitting at
the window reading. A profile view OF
him is not at all unlike that of the
President.
No clue to the thrower of the missile
was obtained, although the incident
was reported to the officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Philadelphia,
and the statement was made that it
would be investigated thoroughly. The
President, himself, knew nothing of
the matter until nearly an hour after
it occurred.
Railroad officials are inclined to the
belief that the plumb bob was thrown
by some boy, as incidents of similar
character have occurred before at the
same point.

Russian Emperor Impresses American as

st. Petersburg, December 8.-tewis
Nixon, of New York, was received in
audience by Emperor Nicholas yester-
day afternoon.
The audience took place in the Pal
ace at Tsarskoe-Selo and was unusually
long for an audience of private char
acter, lasting over half an hour. Vice
Admiral Bireleff, Minister of Marine,
was present. His Majesty displayed
not the slightest trace of the gloomy
detection in which he is pictured as
being plunged, but, on the contrary,
showed neither physical nor mental
traces of the great strain he is under
going. He wore the simple uniform of
an officer of the Imperial Guard with
out single order or decoration. Such
references as he made to events in Rus
sia indicated that his Majesty had a
complete grasp of the situation.

REBATE CASES DISMISSED.
Federal Judge Says District Court Is
without Jurisdiction.

Kansas City, Dec. 5.-Judge John F.
Phillips, in the United States District
Court for the Western district of Mis-
souri,, today delivered an opinion hold
ing that his court was. without jurisdic-
ton in the cases brought here by the
Federal government charging the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the --Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, and other railways with CIV
ing rebates on shipments of salt In
Kansas and on coal in Colorado, and
other products, in violation Of the Elk
ins act. The motion of the railways to
quash the proceedings was granted.
The court held that the matter be-
longed to the jurisdiction of the United
States Circuit Courts for the districts
Of Kansas and Colorado, under the law
and decision of the supreme court, the
offense having been committed in that
jurisdiction. In his decision, Judge
Phillips said the government will never
strike at the root Of the rebate evil un-
til it goes after the shipper as well as
the railroads; that it is not fair play and
"a square deal' that the railroads
should first be "held up" by the shipper
and then punished by the government
for being "held up" while the shipper
gets the "rake off "
The court alluded to the fact that this
matter had attracted public attention
because of the sensational association of
the names of President Ripley and the
former vice president, Paul Morton,
with the transaction. But the record
in the case and the evidence taken be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion failed to furnish any foundation for
imputing to those gentlemen any per-
sonal responsibility for the alleged vio-
lation of the Interstate Commerce law.

Obituary,

Little Elizabeth Barrett, daughter OF
]. P. and Maggie E. Barrett, was born
January 3, 1900, and called to her heav-
enly home November 2, 1905.
Little Elizabeth's stay on earth was
short, yet long enough to make a last
ing impress upon the hearts of many
who knew her, She was child of gen.
tie disposition and winning ways.
The cause of her death was diphthe-
ria and the disease was thought to be
under nice control until with a few
hours of her death. Truly the grim
monster often comes when not ex-
pected.
Little Elizabeth's earthly home was
on the pike, two miles west of Taze-
well, Va. Her heavenly home is on the
verdant banks Of the river of life in
New Jerusalem, beyond the stars.
Weep not fond parents, for your little
one; she was and is of that blessed
throng of whom the Savior said, .Of
such is the kingdom of heaven"
