porations...the valuable rights Of til

porationss..the valuable rights Of the
people.
Under no circumstances should q
franchise be granted unless public
necessity exists therefor, nor unless
the interests Of the people will be pro-
noted thereby.
During the past few years our limits
have been extended; our population
has more than doubled and is. con-
stantly increasing, but little has been
done by the city in providing public
parks.
A visit to the lake shore on any day
or evening during the summer raontf1s
will clearly demonstrate the necessity
for larger public grounds near the
lake.
To my mind, the day is not far dis
tant when the breakwater will be ex-
tended two or three hundred or more
feet into the lake, the basin filed III
(which can be accomplished without
much difficulty or great expense), and
the present Eiche1man park extended
north.
Real estate is rapidly increasing in
value in that vicinity.
The city holds the title to several
strips of land north of Eichelman
park. There are other tracts which
should be acquired by the city, and
which would be absolutely necessary
should lake front park be conten1-
plated in the future.
In my Judgment it would be wisdom
to secure this vacant property, and I
recommend that some action be taken
to acquire property at the lake shore,
fully confident that such action will
be duly appreciated by the people and
will be an advanced step in paving
the way for lake front park, and
would materially assist a succeeding
council in providing for the people
such park as will meet their require
ments.
In conclusion, let us bear in mind
that we are the servants Of the people,
entrusted with their confidence and
their property; land let us SO conduct
our affairs that on retiring to private
life we can look back upon our official
actions with the consciousness that
''our duty has been we'll done.'

BRISTOL TO EXTEND
Rural Telephone Company Plans
to Extend Lines Into the
Town of Salem.
NEW POLES AND NEW WIRES

The directors of the Bristol Te1e-
phone company met in special session
at the central Office in the village last
night andsd ecided to begin the work
of building new extension of the
line. Thesline will be eight miles IN
length and will be for the use of peo-
pie in the southwest portion of the
town of Salem. It is claimed that sub
scribers9 have. already been secured to
secure thesbuilding of the line and
the line will be put in during the next
few weeks.
AT theimeeting the directors decid-
ed that it would be necessary to repo1e
the line between the Wi1mot and Bris-
tol roads. This is the first portion of
the line built and 1t has been stands
ing for the past four or Ave years.
When this portion is rebuilt it will be
put in inHa more permanent manner.
The reports of the officers of the
company show that the company has
made decided gain during the past
year, and the finances are in exceed
ing1y good condition. The company
is paying an annual dividend of 10
per cent on the stock and an equal
amount has been added to the sinking
fund each year to provide for repairs
which may be needed from time to
time.
Many people were of the opinion
that the Bristol company had sold its
lines to the Citizens company but
the agreement between the two COM
panies is nothing more than traffic
agreement for a rerind of wears

PUBLIC service corporations some
times get caught skinning the public,
but it is seldom that one has the gall
to advertise the fact that it is vio1at-
ing the provisions of the franchise
under which it does business. The
Kenosha Street Railway company did
that very thing yesterday when it ran
cars on its line carrying signs stating
that no transfers would be given, and
held up as many of the crowd return
ing from the ball game as were
obliged to go up Market street, for
two fares. The fact Eat they la
beled the cars Special makes no
difference. Presumably these ''spec-
ials' ran under the same franchise as
the other cars on the line, and by the
terms of that franchise passengers
can ride from any one point to any
other point on the line for one fare.
One fare for single trip is supposed
to be one of the concessions granted
by the company to the public for per-
mission to use the streets, but the
company has taken advantage of the
failure Of the officials to enforce the
terms of the franchise to grab many
an extra nickel out of the pockets of
the public. If they are allowed to get
away with this special car bluff there
is absolutely nothing to prevent their
calling all the cars on the line specials
and charging everybody that has to
change cars etwo fares. The princi-
pie is exactly the same. If the COM
pany is allowed to work part of its
patrons for double fare, there is no
reason why it should not work them
all. It is about time that the council
braced up and began to look out for
the interests Of the people in this
matter.

MAYOR GoRMAN has stopped the
street cars, and if the mayor sticks to
his present determination the line
will not be permitted to run again
until the transfer question is settled.
Mayor German is to be commended
for the firm stand he has taken, and
bis action in stopping the cars will
bring matters to head at once, as
the company cannot afford to keep
the line tied up for any length of
time. The matter will be definitely
settled now one way or another. The
mayor is entitled to great credit for
the fight he is making in behalf of the
public, and great majority of the
people Of the city are prepared to
give their hearty support to any ac-
ton he may see fit to take to bring the
company to time.

A RACINE saloon keeper was fined

ting the operation of slot machines in
his place of business. This news will
probably make the Kenosha owners Of
machines think twice before deciding
to fight the district attorneys order

taken out of the saloons now and il

Beat And Robbed A Small Youth.

W. G. Hogan, a hard character who
has been making mis- headquarters in
the Ed. Lacy saloon in Hazen for several
months past, was arrested At that place
last Monday, charged with robbery. He
had his trial on Thursday and was plac-
ed under bonds by Justice Anderson in
the sum of 81 900, which he was unable
to furnish, and in default was brought
to Fallon yesterday and lodged in the
county Jail, where he now awaits the
action of the grand jury.
The complaining witness against Ho-
gan was boy who had been working al
one OF the ditch camps and At the time
of the robbery was sleeping in Il box car.
Hogan Is said to have beaten the youth
quite badly with the butt OF his revolver
during the hold-up process and is un-
doubtedly bad character. From the
evidence submitted at the preliminary
trial, it is not thought but that he will
receive the maximum sentence when
his trial in the circuit court occurs.

on the road to recovery. He left imme-
diately upon receipt Of the news of her

special meeting on Monday, and after a
thorough discussion of the matter, de-
cided to make some slight changes in the

der which the County Physician was

AT meeting OF the County Board OF
Health of Churchill County, New, held
on the lith day Of August, 1905, it was
ordered that all property owners be di-
rected to purify their priyy vaults by
placing in same at least one barrel of
lime, for private residences, and two
barrels for public places, with sufficient
water to slack same, and also to supply
said priyy vault with dry sewerage box

also ordered that all persons remove or
destroy all rubbish or filth that may be
around their premises, the removal or
destruction OF which will tend to the i'm :.
proyement OF the public health. Any

in the main purely from local conditions,

OLNGHOUSE MINERS
Will Fight The Suit Of The
Southern Pacific Company
To Bitter End.
Claim Prior Rights To Railroads Title
Which Was Secured In 1902.

Trouble is brewing in the Olinghouse
district, says the Reno Journal. Now
that the Southern Pacific has instituted
proceedings against Buck Ingalls,, the
miners are preparing to fight back
Judge Peter Somers was engaged the
first OF the week to look after the legal
rights of the miners. He spent day
in Carson and after his return it
was reported that the miners intended
to begin criminal proceedings against
employees OF the railroad company, al
leging that the atfdavits upon which
the patents were secured are not correct.
1t is understood that r. L. Fulton,
land agent for the Southern Pacific
lines in Nevada is understood to have
secured the patents to the lands in liti-
CATION, and those who know him state
that it is not likely he would make a
mistake in filing an affidavit Tor pat
ent, his long experience being guaran-
tee that he would investigate conditions
before doing so.
Monday Buck Ingalls, was served
with summons of the suit filed against
him.
On the same day the railroad COM
pany filed a deed re-ceding to the Unit
ed States all OF the northwest quarter oi
the southeast quarter of section %
township 2l north, range % east. The
Boyee property is located on this Sec
ton. The action of the company in
taking this action is not announced.
4 great many who are heavily inter.
ested in the new district are taking ar
active part in preparing to establish
their rights and a call for a mass meet
ing has already been issued
The mining men are confident OF vic
tory, claiming that their rights are
plainly defined by the highest courts in
the United States. The railroad com
pany comes in for considerable criti-
cism because Of the fact that some time
ago Mr.. FULTON in an authorized inter.
view announced that the railroad COM
pany had no intention of interfering
with the miners in Olinghouse and
gave them to understand that mineral To-
cations would not be attacked.
Some time this week, it is thought
the mining men will be in possession OF
copies OF the atfidavits upon which the
patents to the lands were granted. II
is claimed the railroad secured title in
1902. The miners state that not only
section 81 but nearly every section in
the disputed district was worked for
mineral and ore was found az long as
eighteen years ago.
It will be remembered by the readers
of the Standard that this paper printed
a prediction of thepresent events, prac-
tically as they now exist, n month in
advance OF all newspapers. The correct
ness of the Standards report is now au-
thenticated by the railroad company s
latest action, which means a great deal
OF trouble for some of the mining oper-
ators of the 0linghouse district. How.
ever, we are informed that only part
of the mines of that district are situated
on railroad lands, but they comprise
some OF the finest properties there.
