UPSETS THE BALANCE.
Russian Papers Comment ON the
AngIo-Japanese Treaty.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 6--There is
much comment in the morning papers
on the Anglo-Japanese treaty which it
is claimed is not conducive to peace be-
cause it upsets the balance of power
in the far east and makes Great Brit
ain and Japan predominant. The
Novoe Vremya expressed the opinion
that it is directed against German de-
signs in the far east. while the Sviet
declares that the treaty shuts out Rus
sia from the Pacific and the open sea
everywhere IN Asia.

Sewer Machine Bothers Hosnital.

The sewer in the Sixth ward has
been changed on West street in front
of Christ hospital from the west side
OF the street to the east side. The
hospital authorities objected to the
smoke which the steam excavating
machine belched forth and the align

commodate the authorities and to re-
move the machine as far as possible
from the institution. The sewer is
progressing rapidly, and the con-
tractors have been working from
three to four shifts of men.

The Nye and Ormsby County Bank
was organized since the discovery Of
Tonopah. 1t has grown very rapidly
ADD within two years its deposits
have reached close to So, 900, 900. 1t
has been managed ably from the be
ginning and is very popular with all
business men OF southern Nevada. 1t
has largely reflected the personality
of Senator Nixon and when Tonopah
needed plenty Of financial support it
always found a friend in the Nye
County Bank. Many Of the men who
have succeeded can attribute their
success to the financial aid given by
the bank under its liberal policy, 1t
is understood that the general policy
OF the bank toward the growth of
Tonopah and southern Nevada will
not be changed and as in the past, it
will use every endeavor tie promote
the interests of the district.

Las Vegas Lots in Demand.

The surprising demand for lots at
Las Vegas, on the line Of the Clark
road, must be very gratifying TO the
promoters Of both the road and the
embryo city. 1t vas expected that
the demand for these lots would be
brisk, but not even the most en-
thusiastic optimist dreamed that it
would be anything like it has been.
Last week when the bids were opened
the townsite people found themselves
swamped, as there were from ten to
forty applications for nearly every
desirable lot in the place. This is
certainly encouraging, as it means
that another busting little city is
assured for southern Nevada.
