How would Charles NJ. schwab look
as Senator Of the great State Of Ne
vada?
That's the plan that both Mr. schwab
and the people of Nevada have in mind.
according to a highly eireumstantial
story which comes from the Southwest
ern State.
This account is brought to Washing
ton by Government official who spent
a considerable share OF the summer in
Nevada. He expressed surprise that
Washington and the East had not heard
CT Ar. Schwab's coquettings with the
goddess OF political fortune out in the
sage brush, alkan, and sandhills of the
State once famous for the Comstock
and now fast resuming fame as the pos
SCISSOR Of the GoIdheld and Tonopah gold
regions.
Already Has Grip on Place.
Indeed. it is belfsved by many people
IN Nevada that Mr.NSchwab already has
a steel-riveted cinch on the next open
Senatorship in Nevada There VIII be
a vacancy in 1905, for which an election
VIII be held in 1893 only three years
ahead. Senator Newlands. a Democrat,
is the next retiring Senator from the
State. and it is freely predicted in the
State that he viii have 10 fight the
redoubtable Carnegie protege, former
Steel trust president. multi millionaire.

For Mr.. Schwab. according TO ac-
counts is setting about 10 make hlIn-

new gold regions that are developing and

tson. II is expected the census or 1910

lation over 1906.
No Newer Than Others.
Mr.. schwab viii thus. if ne carries
out the plans ne is understood 10 enter
tain OF becoming n legal resident OF the
State. be nc newer than half his fellow
citizens. 1t is understood he IS planning
10 build a fine home - one OF the gold
towns and 10 spend a good deal Of his
time there. At present. though he de-
votes much time to his interests in the
State. his residence while there is a pal

Nevada has plenty OF gold and a good
deal OF silver: what It needs Is better
society and more water. which places
Il on q substantial parity with another
interesting region more familiar TO stu
dents Of scriptural than to those OF pO-
ltical geography. Mr.. Schwab proposes,
II Is said, TO kelp improve the State in
these respects. He fnds that in order
10 make 1t more Independent. the State
wants smelters and these he is disposed
10 help provide, by investing some Of
his ample millions IN them.
Helps Boom Along.
The anticipation that millions and
smelling facilities are AT last TO be pro-
vided where they are needed, thus Civ
ing 2 chance such as does not now
exist for really developing the State,
has caused something of boom in i'm
portant sections. If Mr.. Echwab car
ries out these plans. together with cer-
tain others relative to expansion of the
irrigation works in the State, he VIII
be looked upon as a benefafcor Of pur-
est radtence, and Nevada viii never
stop TO ask his politics When he intf-
mates that he could do some more good
for the State from seat in the Sen

This is what Nevada expects is going

social ambitions. and the possibility Of
