The Nelson Cans fight last
Monday at Goldheld, Nevada,
was one of the best battles ever
fought in this country. The stay
ing qualities of the men were
something phenomenal Forty
two rounds and the battle won on
a foul. The only unpleasant
feature is the beefng of Nelson
regarding the decision. He was
clearly out-pointed all the way
through. His talk that he was
jobbed will not take we'll with

THE democratic county conven-

passed off very harmoniously.
1t is a practical cinch that the
entire ticket will be elected, for
the reason that most of the Of

giving most excellent satisfaction
to the people. We have no time
or space to give a review of the
proceedings or a write-up of the

Obituary.

DIED:-On Sunday. September
I'd, 1906. aged Sc years, FIVE
months and % days.
DIR. Benjamin Franklin Raft
was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, on
March 10, 1920. For practically
his entire life time he was a
successful practicing physician
and surgeon. Of his boyhood we
have been able to CLEAN but little
information. In 1913 he was
married to Miss Nancy Musser,
at Sandyville. Ohio, and from
this union came four daughters,
Anna, who died very young. Mrs.
James Stanley and Mrs. G. c.
Miller, who have passed on, and
Mrs. w. d. Nelson who survives
him.
In 1868 he lost his wife and
was again married in 1871, this
time in Leon, Iowa, to which
state he had removed in the early
fifties. Mrs. Charlotte Burns was
his second helpmeet and she also
survives the Doctor. Three child
rem were the fruit of this marriage
Frank A. Raiff, now auditor of
smelling and trust company in
New York. Harry L. Raiff, en-
gagged in the sheep industry in
Montana, and Mrs. Helen Hen
ness, OF Oscaloosa, Iowa. Mrs.
Eta Hatch, of this place was his
step daughter and of her the
Doctor was very fond.
The funeral was held in the
Methodist church and was most
largely attended. Nearly every
one in the community knew the
Doctor and all respected and
admired him. The sermon was
preached by Rev. J. K. Hester on
the question of the ages, "It a
man die shall he live again" The
scriptures were read by Rev. DR.,
Dixon, of the Friends church.
Mr.. Raiff's life was an active
one as we'll as extended beyond
the time usually allotted to man.
He served for three years in the
Union army. as surgeon and
constantly followed his profession
after being mustered out. He
enlisted as a member of the
Eighth Kansas cavalry. His resi-
dence in Paonia was established
ten years ago.
While fully realizing that the
Doctor could not remain longer,
life in his case having been pro-
longed as he expressed it after
being struck by paralysis: 81
have lived several years on Dor
roWed time, and must now go.
Nevertheless his absence will be
felt and his death deplored as
deeply as though he had gone
in the full vigor of manhood. He
was a lovable character who
made sunshine and happiness
wherever he went. The writer
feels his loss deeply as do all his
acquaintances.
He never felt fear of death,
seeming to view its approach as
perfectly natural and to be ex-
pected. His knowledge OF the
human family furnished him
perfect information as to his own
condition. He was cheerful and

WHAT Mr.. STEWART SAYS.

date tor KepuDllCan noiiilid'ioii
for governor, at least deserves
credit for frankness and lack OF
pretense.
If he is nominated he will be
nominated as the corporation
candidate.
If he is elected, it will be as the
openly avowed champion of the
corporation cause and the cor
poration policy.
This is made perfectly clear in
letter addressed by Mr.. Stewart
to the editor of the Colorado
Springs Evening Telegraph, who
had ventured to call in question
Mr.. Stewards availability as a
candidate and fitness for the po-
sition of governor.
Mr.. Stewart favors plan "by
which public utility corporations
can be absolutely pushed aside as
factors in the political situation,
and withdrawn wholly from in
reference in politics, and being
interfered with by politicians"
There is such plan, and only
one such plan, and that is the
government ownership and oper-
alton of public utilities.
But Mr.. Stewart does not mean
that he is in favor of the govern
ment ownership and operation OF
public utilities, although he says
he will adopt any plan that will
accomplish those results and add
it to his statement of suggestions"
What Mr.. Stewart really means
is in his opinion, the public utility
corporations have a right to in
terfere in politics, so long as the
politicians interfere with the public
utility corporations.
That is the common excuse and
the usual defense of the corpora
ton managers and the corpora
ton agents. If they bribe the
public official it is entirely to pro
tect their own interests. 1T they
steal an election, it is invariably
to prevent the election. from
going against them; and if they
maintain a lobby in the state
-apitol it is for no other purpose
than to prevent, by whatever
means may be necessary, the
passage of unfavorable legislation.
and to secure, at the least possible
cost, the enactment of such laws
as are of vital importance to the
corporation interest.
If the politicians, that is to say.
the public government, or the
authority of the state, would
cease to interfere with the cor
porations, it would be obviously
unnecessary, and foolish, for the
corporations to waste good money
in protecting their rights" to
make private business out of
public utility service.
Mr.. Stewart has done the peo-
pie real service by his bold con
fession of his position on these
matters.
If he is elected governor. we
may be assured that he will stand
for the principle that the public
utility corporations have the sam e
right to interfere with politics,
that the politicians have to inter
fere with the public corporations.
AS the Denver Republican,
prince of corporation grafters, so
lucidly puts it, "If Mr.. Stewart is
elected governor, every corpora
ton will know where he stands, y
and now thanks to Mr.. Stewart

Lost His Prisoners.

Carson News says Governor
Sparks received a telegram last
evening from Sheriff Murphy of
Lander county, who is at Ogden.
He states that Nevada has lost
its three prisoners. whom he
was bringing from Chicago to
have their trial at Austin on the
charge of fraud, for which they
were indicted by the grand jury.
They were brought from Chicago
under extradition papers signed
by the governor of Illinois, who
revoked his papers after the
sheriff had the men as far as
Utah.
Habeas corpus proceedings
were instituted in Ogden and the
men were turned loose. The in
dictment will remain against the
trio, but they cannot be punished
unless they are caught within
the State.
Governor Sparks remarked this
morning to a News repre-
sentative: New Is a pretty'
good time for tile stockrnen of
Nevada to take warning and look
out for Chicago sharpers, as they
come here and give bogus checks
make contracts for the delivery
of horses and cattle and rel
dudiate their debts.

Mining Very Active
Around GoOdsprings.

After nearly half century of
varying vicissitudes the mines of
Goodsprings are being given
real show. The Salt Lake rail-
road did much for the district,
but the smelter viii make
possiblezI the handling of low
grade ore, and the profitable
working of many properties.
Tradition has it that the
Potosi tribe of Indians roughly
mined and fashioned bullets
from the galena ore. Later the
location of this org lead deposit
became known to Brigham
Young and he sent out band of
Mormons to work the mine,
Then, strange to relate, ore was
taken to Fort Douglas by Gen
eral Sydney Johnstone, and the
bullets manufactured were used
in the miniature war waged
against the Mormons by the
United States government. But
all this is ancient history, and to-
day Mormon and Gentle capital is
pouring into the district and the
section teens with activity.
w. H. Wilson, manager of the
new smelter, together with
Contractor Joseph Dedrichs, ar
rived yesterday, and at once
started preparatory work.
At later date it is their in
tention to visit all the mining
camps of southern Nevada and
personally acquaint shippers
with prices and terms. A
sampling works and assay Office
are to be at once erected, in
order that the company can
commence buying ore. Jean,
which is the station on the Salt
Lake Route, is seven miles dis
tant from Goodspring, where
the smelter will be erected, and
the two places ere to be con-
nected by either an electric or a
regular railroad, The slnelter
will have two blast furnaces,
one fiat bottom for copper mats,
the other a crucible for lead.
