me femaks of a writer in the New
ofk Post few days ago about the
dScision Of the president and the sec
fetafE OF war in favor Of a lock canal
AZ 9anama are given an added point
ana forcz by the damage wrought hy
an earthquake at San Francisco. The
writer says : Our strenuous nresi-
deht and secretary of war seem to
nave ignored the decision Of probablv
the most competent commission of en-
glneers ever convened, who have af
Ter consultation by a vote of eight to
i've determined upon a sea level can
al across the isthmus of Panama
Ihls is against lock- canal, which
would involve mammoth amount OF
masonary at an elevation of so feet
above the sea level and which in turn
would have it's basis upon a yielding
SOIL lmpregnated with the moisture of
the torrential rains falling daily for
half the year. This majority decision
probably carried with it and was in
Huenced by fear of the effect that
might be produced upon the vast mass
OF solid masonry by seismic convul-
slons, which we know are not of in
frequent occurrence upon the 18TH
mus and it's vicinity. Within compaY-
atlvely few years violent earth
quake has done serious damage in the
town Of Panama itself, while the ru-
ms of some of it's old churches and
public buildings testify to their dam
aging effects. Indeed, within an area
OF few hundred miles the whole face
of the country has been changed
through the agency of earthquakes.
Let us imagine therefore for a mom-
ent what would be the effect of a vio-
lent earthquake upon a lock- perched
80 feet high, which might in a moment
of time disintegrate it's solid masonry
ana undo the work costing millions
OF money and years of labor."-Great

MaCkey'e are all Safe.

At least two Lewistown families
have been made happy during the last
week by letters announcing the safety
Of loved ones in San Francisco.
1. "A. Mackay, whose wife and two
daughters are in the stricken city,
last Saturday received letter from
Mrs. Mackay in which she stated that
they We're safe but We're, of course.
suffering many Inconvenience. They
are cooking in the streets and have to
stand in line for food but conditions
are improving. Mr.. Mackay tele.
graphed money to his family with
which to supply themselves with nee
essaries and purchase tickets to this
city and they will likely be here with
in the next week or ten days.
q. w. Cook received a letter the
middle of last week from his son, Will,
who has been in San Francisco for ov-
er a year past, announcing his safety.
The following letter, received a few
days later, gives additional descrip-
tion Of the situation in the stricken
city:
San Francisco, April 90, 1906.
Dear Folks: I just came down to
the office but there isn't anything
much doing. The shop is full Of peo.
pie who have been burned out. 1 am
one of the lucky ones who has a Job
left. The fire didn't hurt this part Of
town, but the earthquake kind of mix
ed things up in this office. Nearly ev-
erything in the office was turned bot
tom side up when l came down the
first morning, but it looks quite re-
spectacle now. The fire has burned
itself out at last and the city looks
pretty fierce. Most of the stone and
brick buildings are standing but the
insides are burned out.
There is plenty to eat now, such as
it is No fires or lights are allowed in
any of the buildings, so we have to do
cooking on a camp fire out in the
street.
Stations have been established
where food is given out. I stood in
line about two hours and a half this
morning before breakfast and got one
can of corned beef for my pains. But
think we will have a pretty good
Sunday dinner, as a couple of the fell
lows went out in the country this A.
M. and got two big chickens and five
or six dozen eggs. We (fifteen of us)
are occupying a flat of five rooms
kind Of crowded but better than the
majority of the people have
People who are caught stealing are
shot on the spot. Yesterday l saw a
fellow lying on the sidewalk with a
sign, Shot for stealing whiskey'' pin
ned on his coat. Another fellow was
shot near where we Were camped for
cutting a dead lady's finger off to get
her diamond ring. A lady was shot
for building a fire in her house. Well,
I think 1 will go home and get some-
thing to eat; that is, if I don't get tir-
ed standing in line. With love,

IVAY1ITH the railroad grade practically completed into Fallon,
~ things are commencing toboom. In another thirty days,
ESNJ the contractors tell us that the temporary structuresacross
the canals and river will have been completed and the rails laid
into town. The day that steam cars first enter Fallon will be a
red letter day for Churchill county, for it means many things. 1t
means cheaper supplies for the consumers. 1t means that team
ing activity will be transferred from Hazen to Falon. 1t means
that as long as Fallon remains the terminal point, 1t will also be
the only point of distribution in the county. 1t means that what
ever mining activity may be in progress will be literally shared
by Fallon. 1t means that we can, for all time to come, dispense
with the sixteen mile ride across the desert and save our digest
i've apparatus the pounds Of sand which we have been eating,
greatly to our discontinue. 1t means SO many things to Fallon
that a celebration OF some kind, would be i'll order. Why not get
toA ether and let the outside world know that we are awake;
that we appreciate the good that must accrue to us by reason OF
the building OF this branch line.

The announcement of the early opening OF the Indian lands
announced in last weeks Standard means more to Churchill
county than is generally realized by local people. 1t means that
thirty thousand acres oil land, situated between Fallon and Still
water. will be subjected to the efforts of the homebulders. lhs
land is, without doubt, the choicest in the Carson Sink, both by
reason of its fertility and the absence of bothersome sand hills.
The entire tract can be cultivated, and will be taken up very rap

work, and declared the lands open. The changing OF the status
Of these lands will certainly mark a new epoch for Churchill

mo CURE, NO PAY
How Rotermund Sells Hyomei.
the Guaranteed Cure for
CAtArrk.

Rotermnud has an unusual offer to
make to our readers, one that will be
of the greatest value to many.
For some years Rotermund has been
watching the results from the use of
Hyomei, treatment for catarih that
cures by breathing medicated air, ab-
solutely without any stomach dosing.
the results have been so universally
successful that he feels justified in
making a public offer TO treat the
worst case of catarrh in Grants Pass
with the understanding that if Hyo-
mel does not cure, the treatment will
cost absolutely nothing
People who have spent large sums
with catarrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit, or the many who have
swallowed stomach remedies in the
vain hope of curing catarrh. have ex-
psrienced almost immediate relief
from the use of Hyomei, while the
continued treatment for short time,
has resulted in a complete and lastii g
cure.
The regular Byomei outfit costs
only one dollar, and consists of neat
pocket inhaler that can be carried in
the purse or vest-pocket, medicine
dropper, and a bottle Of Hyomei. If
this is not enough for a cure, extra
bottles of Hoymei can be obtained for
so cents.
Rotermund positively guarantees a
cure, if Hyomei is used in accordance
with directions, or Rotermund will
refund the money.
