Tricked Fellow Brokers.

The Tonopah Sun Of May 9 says:
Several local brokers are very loud in
their complaints against w. j. Arkell
Of the bankrupt firm Of w. J. Arkell g.
Co. They assert that he did under
handed work of the most unprofessional
kind in that he unloaded Tonopah
Home stock by trickery which cost his
fellow brokers thousands of dollars.
The way he is said to have worked
it was to send various parties to brokers
in San Francisco Offering TO buy Tono-
pah Home stock on 80. 60 and 80 day
margins. When the orders were
placed the brokers had to buy the stock
on the Board at the prevailing price of
upwards of 30 cents a share cash. All this
time Arkell was unloading his Tonopah
Home stock and fleeing the lambs.
In speaking of the affair yesterday
a local broker said: 'That very trick
is likely to make the stock business in
Tonopah dull for weeks. Just now
that we are getting owe the recent
plague scare it seems that we must
have the rascality of a man like Arkell
to block all business. The stock bust
ness is the chief business of Tonopah
and it must be kept up. Nearly every.
body here owns more or less stock and
when a man strikes at the values of
stock in that he hurts every
person in the camp"
Last night Tonopah Home sold at
A cents a share. The lowest price it
has ever been.

ARKELL MAKES ASSIGNMENT.
Promoter Of Tonopah Home Goes
to the Wall.

The firm of W. J. Arkell & Co., for
merly known as Arkell. Hicks & Co..
made an assignment at San Francisco
on May s, and Arkell was suspended
from membership in the San Francisco
and Tonopah Stock Exchange on ac-
count Of his failure to take mp 10000
worth of buying contracts. His busi-
ness was turned over to w. Q. Ralston.
Arkell admitted that he had been
'~'pinched" to the extent Of $4,000 in
the recent slump.
The assignment Of Arkell was doubt
less fastened by the disavowal of w.
s. Webb of New York that he was a di.
rector in the companies promoted by
Arkell. Following on the heels of his
reputation came the withdrawal of
Senator Nixon and T. L. Oddie as di-
rectors from the Tonopah Home Con-
solidated Mining Company.
Arkell & Co. were engaged in the
banking and brokerage business in To-
nopah, San Francisco and New York.
They were members of the several min
ing exchanges and were engaged in a
number of mining enterprises, chief of
which was promoting the Tonopah
Home 5000. 900 merger.
Arkell was at one time owner of the
New York comic weekly Judge. He
failed some years ago for a quarter of a
million dollars and came to the Coast
to recuperate.

WARNS AGAINST
JAPANESE AccRESSloNs,

John Hays Hammond seems to think
the United States and Great Britain
m ust get closer together in order to
present a determined front against
Japanese aggressions in the Orient,
says the Sacramento Bee, and it asks:
To what purpose?
In order to open an unobstructed
avenue for English and American ag-
g~ressions?
The American citizen who was
largely responsible for the Jameson
raid in South Africa, whose life was
spared by Dom Paul after he had done
all he could to wrest the country from
the Beers and turn it over to the van.
dial British, has certainly no sense Of
humor when he warns against japanese
aggressions.
With him an aggression is probablythe
act of another Nation in stealing first
that at which he thinks this country
should have the primal chance Of inter-
national brigandage.
For the Declaration Of Independence,
according to such Americans as John
Hays Hammond. resolves itself into
the Rob Roy principle that.
They shall take who have the power,
And they shall keep who can.

Government Constructing Immense
Plant Near FallOn.
The Government has begun the con-
struction of a power house on the main
irrigation canal, six miles west of Fall
Ion. Churchill County.
The building proper is to be 1881 feet
by 40 feet in dimensions and something
Of the magnitude of the enterprise can
be cleaned from the fact that the con.
structioD work to be done by the San
Francisco Construction Company on the
foundation, intake, etc, independent
Of the building aud machinery, will
cost approximately $50. 900.
At the point where the power house
is to be built. the waters of the main
canal drop a distance of 26 feet. AS the
flow is estimated by the Government
engineers to be 1850 cubic feet of water
per second, it is figured that 5000 horse
power can be developed by the modern
methods that will be installed.
This power will find its way over {
system of conduits that will cover {
large area of country, and will be util
lied mainly for the operation of pumps
that will make possible the cultivation

A New Condition.

"The first step, and to my mind, the
most important step. is connected with
giving such power over the great trans
portation corporations Of this country.
l was going to say when the first pio-
neers came to Colorado, but that would
hardly be so, but in the days of the
fathers of the oldest among you the
highways of commerce for civilized ma
tons were what they had always been
that is. water ways and roads. There
fore, they were open to all who chose
to travel upon them. Within the last
two generations we have seen a system
grow up under which the old methods
were completely revolutionizsd and
now the typical highway of commerce
is of curse the railroad. Compared to
the railroad the ordinary road for
wheeled vehicles and the waterway,
whether natural or artificial, have lost
all their i'm Importance. Here in Colorado.
of course, are the only highways that
you need to take into account in DEAL
ing with the question of commerce in
the State or outside of the State.
Therefore. under the changed system
we see highways of commerce grow
up, each of which is controlled by a
single corporation or individual; some
times several of them being controlled
in combination by corporations or by a
few individuals. When such is the
case, in my judgment. it is absolutely
necessary that the Nation, for the State
cannot possibly do it. should assume
supervisory and regulatory function
over the great corporations which,
practically, control the highways Of
ommerce.
