From Across the Water.

"A few weeks ago I had pair of British
goo-gooers around who provided me with an
exceedingly queer pain.
They We're making a tour of the world
I couldn't exactly figure how long they had
been married, but they certainly were as
affectionate a sketch team ever | showed
around. This sort of puzzled me, too. for
had always heard so much about the re-
serve of English people.
But with these two it was Agnes, me
own and 'Algernon, NE love-, from cellar
to garnet.
of course 1 walked about ten feet ahead
of them to let them have room, but all the
same they gave me that empty feeling.
But | didn't start to tell you how much
they loved each other, but how they dis
liked the United States. Neither of them
could tolerate this country at all, and they
gave everything at the Capitol the joyous
ha-ha from the minute they set foot in
it.
Now I stood this patiently for quite a
long while, but all the time / could feel
the Indana-A mericano creeping through my
system like a mountain cascade.
They looked at the pictures the walls.
How stoopid," they said in unison.
'"They looked at Statuary.
What a Brumma gem lot. said they in
one voice.
1T was the same all over the building
The whole works, from one wing to the
other, got the laugh from them. till the
spirit of rs began to rattle around in me SO
hard that l could just barely hang on to
myself.
FINALLY, I got them around to the pic
ture of the Battle of Lake Erie, over on
the Senate side.
What a frightful daub, they exclaimed
together. What is it supposed to repre-
sent, gee-ide?
well, say, this made me too hot to
handle.
Twisting the Lions Tail.
That said l. is considered an admir-
able work of art. alt is also regarded as an
accurate representation of the battle of
Lake Erie That battle, as you will of
course recall took place between the
American and British fleets during the war
of 1912 between Great Britain and the.
United States. And if any ileet on salt or
fresh water was ever ker-soaked, smother

COMES TO GEORGIA

On the morning of October 18th
President Roosevelt will set his
face Southwark upon tour which
will take him through nearly every
state of the former Confederacy.
And the people of the South win
welcome the President with the
warmth of Southern hospitality,
and, as a matter of fact, there is
every assurance that Mr.. Roose-
velt's whole visit will be marked
by an enthusiasm nothing short of
that with which he has been greet
ed in the North and West.
President Roosevelt has his heart
set on visit to New Orleans. He
wishes to enter the city, even if
the yellow fever has not disappear
ed under the influence of the early
frosts.
He is being urged not to make
the call at the Crescent City be-
cause of the supposed danger from
the plague. The President, how
ever, holds the danger lightly, as
he holds all danger, and it is the
belief in Washington that he will
not be deferred from carrying out
his promise to be the guest of New
Orleans at the first opportunity.
On this Southern trip the Presi-
dent will smash a precedent. He
will pay every cent of the railroad
expenses out of his own pocket.
He has laid down a hard and fast
rule in the matter and it will be
followed to the last cent.
The Presidents first stopping
place will be historic Richmond.
He will speak to the citizens in the
old capitol where sat the congress
of the Southern Confederacy. At
sunrise on the next morning he will
be in Raleigh, the capital of North
Carolina.
The journey of the second night
will take Mr.. Roosevelt to the lit
tie town of Roswell Ca, the early
home of his mother, Martha Bull
lock, and the place where she is
buried in the village cemetery
Senator Bacon and probably Sena
tor Clay of Georgia will meet the
President at Roswell, and will ac-
company him to Atlanta, where
the party will arrive on the after
noon of October 20.
The itinerary planned will take
the presidential party from Atlanta
direct to Jacksonville, Fla where
Mr.. Roosevelt will deliver an ad
dress and may be, as at Atlanta,
the guest of the citizens at an
evening dinner.
Montgomery, Ala, will be the
next stopping place, and the resi-
dents have planned a reception tc
be held at the capitol building
Booker T. Washington's industrial
school at Tuskegee will be visited
and there the President will ad.
dress the students. Birmingham
and Mobile will be the next cities
to welcome the chief executive
and at the gulf port preparations
for the reception are on an elabor
ate scale.

Tonopah's Population.

Many Going In.

Passengers continue to arrive N
Tonopah at the rate of between ninety
and one hundred a day, while about
forty five people are going cut daily,
making an increase in the district Of
say 1900 month.
The new arrivals from the south
are at least in equal numbers, while
very few go out over the route, hav-
ing felt of it's hardships. The throng
from the east has not developed into
the proportions that were feared, as
the majority of these people wound not
be the sort of men to build up a coun-
try and correspond with the environ
ments they would find here.
Several days ago the Sun re-publish-
ed an article in an eastern paper that
was fairly good writeup Of the camps
but it erred in one particular, namely
that there had been a decrease in tn,
population of Tonopah, ccassioned
by the strikes to the southwark
AS a matter of fact it is patent tt
everyone that Tonopah was never sc
contested with people before. Neve
was there such throngs on the side

ed Hon. H. H. Coreyell Of Elko county
Hon. p A. McCarran of Washoe coun-
ty and Hon G 7. Mills of Ormsby
county as the three members of the
Board of Fish and Game Commission
ers. The appointments meet with
universal appreciation, as the gentle
men named are greatly interested in
thu propagation and protection of
fish
pealed several years ago only one COM
missioner was allowed but the last
legislature reenacted the measure ami
provided for the selection of three
commissioners. No salary is attach
ed to the position. on the contrary,
the commissioners often spend their
own money for the furtherance Of
some scheme that will benefit the peo-
pie of the State. but he does not let
little thing like that bother him
/ from being just as enthusiastic as ever
on the fish question.
MI Mills seryel the State for nine
years as Fish Commissioner and is
particularly fitted fer the position as
fish culture is fad with him and he
leaves nothing undone that will be for
the good of the State in a piscatoriaI
line. Nevada has led in the propoga-
ton of fish in many respects, particu-
larly in the taking and TRANSFORMING
of what is known among fish cuturists
as green spawn being the first to
take the spawn from the fish AMI
transport it sixteen miles to a hatch
cry. The State has also led il the

long distance with comparatively nc
loss.
1t is to be hoped that the people CT
the State will appreciate the appoint
ments and cooperate with the commits
sioners in their work and thus place
the fish culture Of Nevada on the

he was carried from town and onto

Jennings came here some time ago
