man who has braved the wint-
er's frosts and t he dusts of sum

an ungrateful public, has lost his

THE ELECTION
DATE CHANGED
Voters Must Determine
Issue On Tuesday,
July 18th.

On July 25th the voters of
Churchill county will be called
upon to vote for or against an
issue embodying progress.
Conditions are ripe for the build
ing and equipment of county
high school. The future of your
children and your neighhor's
children are dependent to large
extent upon the successful termi-
nation of the. issue. However,
there can be little doubt of the
result. Only show by a compli-
mentary vote the Importance
placed upon educational progress
by the electors who hold the
cornty's destiny in their hands.
Election supplies have been ord
cred, the issue will be thorough
" canvasSed in all its features.
for there can be no deception nor
coercion i'll the matter at all 1t
is simply the two sides arrayed
one against the other, progress
versus mossbackism. - The lat
ter side has a very scant
following in this section.
and the Standard feels safe in
predicting an Overwhelmingly
large majority for the modest
little high school, that will be a
large factor i'll determining the
futures of a great many of our
children in the years to come.

Noted Party to VISIT Divert
ing Dam

The Reclamatio authorities
and others who will form the
party to inspect the Carson Sink
project next Saturday will spend
a part of the day at the divert
ing dam on the Burton ranch
II miles west of this city, when
it will be put to practical use for
the first time Contractors in
charge of the work are bending
every effort to have every part
of it completed for the occasion.
Owing to the lack of organiza-
ton on the part of local citizens
it has been impossible to learn
anything definite of the affair be-
yond the fact that they will be
there some time during midday.
The earlier part OF the day will
be spent at the head gates near
Derby. 1t is probable that the
inspection trip will be hurry-up
affair, as their itinery makes
necessary that the party shall be
in Reno on the same evening.
A great many of our citizens are
planning to visit the diverting
dam next Saturday.
Recognizing the day as an ep-
och making date a great many
of our local citizens are planning
to be in attendance at the di-
verting dam, and to let the con-
gressional committee know in
part at least the appreciation
that is felt in this section for the
successful progress made on the
greatest irrigation project now
under active development.

Unless all signs fail, Nevada
will soon boast of more trans
cop tinental railroad lines than
any other state in the Union.
The Cent? al Pacific and Salt
Lake & Los Angeles, will soon
be augmented by the Western
Pacific and possibly one other
road. The latter is being talked
of, and if built will run from Nor
folk, Virginia. to San Francisco,
and will be more than 400 miles
shorter than any present route,
its total length being 1892
miles. When the projected rail
road building is accomplished
the development of this states
latent resources will be an as
sured fact.

The Irrigation Question.

While the present irrigation
fund of $50, 900, 900 would not
60 very far, distributed through
out the Is great western states
and territories, in two, three or
four million dollar amounts, it
is being made to carry forward
quite uniform and comprehen-
sive irrigation development, by
making the irrigation works pay
for themselves.
In other words it is not the
program of the Reclamation Ser
vice to build large projects com
plete Immediately, but to finish
Il small but independent portion
of each project so that the water
rights of the lands thus irri-
gated may be sold to the set
tiers and thus Immediately fur
nish money with which to carry
the work still farther. The gov
ernment is III each case starting
the works and allowing the
project itself and the settlers to
provide for its completion And
as in all the government pro-
lects the lands are eagerly being
taken up by. settlers, -there-is~-ase
question of the success and COM
pletion of the works, of however
great magnitude.
That the eastern part of the
United States is not indifferent
to the national benefit of irriga-
ton and the development of the
west is shown by the III telligent
resolutions passed at the recent
annual meeting of the National
Associa of Manufacturers
held at Atlanta, Ga. ,on MAY q. .
Recognizing that the reclama-
tion OF western desert acres will
will furnish the finest mar
ket possible for eastern man
ucturers, the resolution of Secre-
tarv Hitchcock of the interior
department, whois charged with
the administration OF the irriga-
ton law, endorsed Director Wal
colt and Chief Engineer Newell
of the reclamation service, ard
pledged to them the support of
some $500 OF the largest manu-
facturers in the United States in
their continued efforts to carry
out the national irrigation act
for the creation of the largest
possible number of prosperous
American homes.

OUR MINING
RESOURCES
Are Commencing To
Attract Wide Spread
Attention.

Churchill county is Just now
the objective point OF a great
many prospectors and mining
developers. Some are already at
work and number OF promising
lodges are being opened up The
section that promises most lies
to the south and east of Fallon
III what Is known as the Still
waterrange OF mount tains. Min
ing experts are unanimous in
opinion that some of Nevada's
most valuable properties will
soon be uncovered. During the
past few weeks number Of
prominent parties from Tonopah
have visited this section and they
are firm in the belief that Il is
fully as good country for a
peetor as the one from W hich
they came, and state that the
eyes of the outside mining peo-
pie are centered on Churchill
county,
The transportation feature has
been a serious one in the past
and the promised railroad build
ing into this section doubtless
has a great deal to do with the
present influx OF prospectors.
1t is said by reliable mining men
that the mineral belt when de-
veloped will extend from above
Hazen. south, where it will in
tersect the already defined belt
on which are situated Tonopah,
Goldheld and Bnllirog
Whenever thecountry is tapped
with a railroad the mining in
dustry will assume proportions
nndreamed of. At Eagleyille
many prospects and several val
uable mines already exist Ore
from the Eagleville mine is being
treated very successfully, while
the owners of the Margin Min
ing Company and others con
template an early installation OF
machinery for the working OF
their ores.
II. ]. kincaid, representing the
kincaid Mining Company OF
Virginia City, left Wednesday
for the Eagleville district where
he will investigate one or two
properties that have already
come under their notice as beng
particularly rich. 1t is probable
that his visit will be followed by
development work on the part
OF his company.
Other reports keep reaching us
daily of new lodges being nncov-
cred, among which is a discoy-
cry made by Webb & kiefer,
near Jobs peak, in the Still
water range OF mountains. 1t
is said that this ledge is many
feet in thickness, and carries
gold, silver and nickel in abnnd-
ant quantities.

A story was printed in last eY-
ening's Reno Gazette, to the et-
feet that an employe of the Haz-
en- Cold Storage and Commerc-
ial Company had decamped,
taking with him about 500 os
his firms funds. An inquiry
this morning disclosed the fact
the story was hoax, and that
it had arisen from difficulty
that was promptly adinsted.

has assumed new proportions
and the Standard has reliable
information to the effect that its
character will not be steam, but
electric and that it will not be
Quilt under the auspices OF the
Southern Pacific Company as
previously stated but that pri-
vate capital will soon undertake
the enterprise.
At the present time all outgo-
ing and incoming business for
this section finds its way over
the Southern Pacific Company's
lines, and prominent official
OF the road doubtless voiced the
sentiment of the management
when he said in an interview re-
Gently that that part OF the Car
sron Sink business tributary to
this town is firmly in the grasp
of his company, and that the in
crease of business which would
result from the installation of a
steam road into this section,
which would form their only in
centive, would hardly be suffic-
lent inducement for the building
of the road, even though the
route is ideal.
However, it has been given
out by the railroad company
that they would not antagon-
ize such a feeder if built by pri-
vate capital, but ON the con
trarv would lend every assist
ance to the enterprise. and it is
probable that capitalists who
are heavily interested in the
Southern Pacific Company will
undertake to promote the rail
way.
Competent engineers who have
investigated the project make
an estimate of its probable cost
at 800 900, which sum would
in their opinion build and equip
the road. 1t is planned to trans
NIT the power from Floriston,
50 miles distant, where it would
be generated by the Floriston
Electric Company, the Truckee
river furnishing abundant gener-
ating power.
We learn that the generous OIL
fers made by our citizens of
right of way and terminal
grounds would also hold good
for a we'll equipped electric
railway; i'll fact many prefer the
latter road to a steam road, as
it is more feasible for the short
route necessary to give us direct
railroad communication.
1t is said that the promoters
expect to float a part of their
stock in Churchill county in the
near future. They say that the
consumation of the project is de-
pendant upon their being able to
sell at least one-half OF the S40O.-
900 necessary to build the road
to local capitalists. In the opin.
ion of those with whom we have
talked this could be easily done.
At any rate the appreciation
with which the project has met
augurs we'll for its speedy COM
pletion, and it looks very much
now as if the Churchill county
stage driver will soon be sup

For living day by day
With willing feet press along
In the paths that I must tread
Proud that have the strength aud skill
To earn my daily bread
belong to the lower classes
That's phrase we of Ell meet
There are some who sheer at working girls
As they pass rs on the street.
They stare at ms in proud disdaIn.
And their lips in sCorn will curl.
And sometimes we hear them say

Only working girl Thank God.
With willing hands and heart,
Able to earn my daily bread.
And IN life's battle take my part.
You could offer me no title

As the Queen upon her throne.
We gentlefolks, who pride yourse Ives
Upon your wealth and birth.
And look with scorn ON those who have
Naught else but honest worth
Your gentle birth we laugh to scorn
For we hold this as our creed
''That none are gentle save the one
Who does gentle deed
We are only the lower classes,''
But the Holy Scriptures tell
How when the King of Glory
Came down on earth TO dwell,
Not with the rich and mighty,
Meath costly palice dome,

He was one of the lower classes

And till the long day through.
He knows how we get tired.

To work for honest wages.

So when you meet with scorniul sneeTs
Just lift YOUR heads in pride;

Can turn such sneers aside;

ABDUCTION WITNESSED
Passing Pedestrians Heard Loud
Screams and Were IN Time to
See Mssked Villain Fleeing
With Bound and Gagged
Girl

While passing along one of Ocala's
well lighted Cd thoroughfares last
night at an early hour, Miss Annie
Heuser. the beautiful daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Busch, was suddenly
seized by masked man, who, after
sitting her screams, swiftly bound
her hand and foot, placed her in
gunnysack. Being unable to move or
scream, she felt herself placed into a
buggy and then driven down the
street. Intellectually she tried to re-
lease herself from the gag. Alas!
she was bound too securely. Finally
the conveyance stopped. She was
carried into building, fainting and
gasping for breath; the sack was
taken from her head. The villain,
still masked, took the gag from her
mouth, his eyes cleaning like Goals
of fire through his black mask, re-
leased her and Kissed through his
tightly clenched teeth, ''There,
my pretty bird, scream and yell as
loud as you like, no human ear will
ever reach you. You are in my pow
er. Do you hear? Totally within my
power!' ''Where am 70 she gasped.
In a store that never advertises,''
was the cruel response. Alas!
Alas!' she mOaned. NO power on
earth can save me; 10 one Will look
for me here" and the poor girl
tainted.
