MAY INQUIRE OF Mr.. ROOT
Reasons for Sending Troops to the
PhiIiDmnes Wanted.

Washington Feb. lot is probable that sec
rotary Root will have an opportunity TO explain
to Congress through one Of the House commit
tees the actual need of the proposed increase
of the number OF American troops in the Philip-
pines which led to the passage between sec
rotary Taft and the Senate Committee on APP
proprtations recently. It is said that the war
Department in moving in this direction is simply
following the suggestion OF the State Depart
unent. and It is probable that Secretary ROOT
will find it necessary, unless the plan or holding
a force ready for service in China is to De
abandoned, TO explain to Congress the facts
which have impelled him TO make the supposed
suggestion TO Secretary Taft
This explanation VIII doubtless be made IN
confidence for, although 1t is known in a general
way that the State Department has had many
disquieting reports from its agents in China. 1t
is thought that It would not be diplomatic TO
publish them. It is said. however. that the con-
ditions in China bear a striking resemblance to
those that preceded the Boxer uprising OF 1900,
and the position of the State Department is that
as only the presence Of American troops made
the Picking relief expedition possible and saved
the lives Of those at the legations, it would not
be justified in refraining from taking every pre-
caution necessary TO avert a possible loss of
American lives and property, not only at the
legation in Picking, but among the missionaries
and the American business men in the Chinese
trade centres.

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT

W. c. Black, Editor

LOCAL trade conditions are rapidly improving, and all class
es of trade report a handsome increase over the summer business.
A number OF new residences are under construction, several add
tional business buildings are projected among which are an add
ton to the Churchill County Bank building a brick and stone bus
mess house, to be erected on the lots adjoining Beach's Corner
store. The substantial and handsome high school building Is
nearing completion, and two church building projects are under
way. The railroad is daily approaching nearer and already the
whistle Of the locomotive can be heard. With these and numef-
Gus other improvements under course Of construction and COM
pleted, does it not seem as though FaHon is making gigantic
strides towards becoming the trade center of Churchill county, a
city of culture with beautiful homes and clean socety2

THE CHURCHILL COUNTY EAGLE, a weekly publication
conducted by Messrs. a. p BettersWorth and c Ieonesio, made
its appearance in the local field last Saturday. 1t 5 a very cred
liable paper indeed, and the CuuiehuI = andard extends the right
hand OF fellowship with The sincere wish that unmeasurcd success
may attend its flight through the country journalistic world.

AS THE railroad approaches Falon, the question of fttngly
celebrating its completion becomes a live topic. The Chamber OF
Commerce proposes to go ahead and perfect celebration arrange
ments, and every Churchill county 1%nhabitant should take a per
sonal interest in this enterprise. Various matters will be assisted
in by Supervising Engineer L. H. Taylor and his assistants, who
propose to co operate with the Southern Pacific Company in
bringing in excursion trans. and peutc ing other arrangements.

SOME one has said that the $3.50, which still remains unez-
pended from the 1906 Faartfa u uai.. mould be presented to
the Churchill County Chamber Of Commerce Will they please
say why? Is not the Chamber OF Commerce an institution merit
Gus beyond question, and can it not stand upon its own bottom'
In the opinion of the Churchill Standard, the disposition of the
$3.50 should rest entirely with the people who created the fund,
and not with a Sybarte who failed to contribute n cent. Fin
the opinion of the contributors, the Chamber of Commerce treas
urv is entitled to the fund by their decree, the worth OF the pur-
pose is beyond question, and the money could thus be 6ttingy ex-
pended, but fer modestys 81: k, let he people who have a fnan-
cial interest in the fund direct as 10 It's disposition. 1t is barely
possible that some other method Of expenditure may be desired.
