The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1906-03-17

The San Francisco Chronicle recently
published a lengthy editorial under the
heading, "Nevada's Development. "
which reviews the great awakening
of interest in the mineral wealth aud
mining developments in Nevada taking
place all over the country" 1t then
speaks of the ira le conditions aud
say q strong rivalry has been aroused
among the merchants of most of the
cities to which the new camps in Ne
vada are accessible or being made ac-
cessible by rail. '.What are the San
Francisco merchants doing ?" asks the
Chronicle. The Carson City News
takes up the query ana nicely tells
what they have done for Nevada. Its
reply is as follows:
The San Francisco merchants have
throttled Nevada.
The San Francisco merchants have
prevented the establishment of whole.
sale houses in the State.
The San Francisco merchants have
forced Nevada consumers to pay for
the ''back haul"
The San Francisco merchants have
shut Nevada out from a competitive
market.
The San Francisco merchants. like
the San Francisco stock. manipulators,
have e~ndeavored to squeeze Nevada
like a lemon.
Yes, what are San Francisco mer.
chants doing? They are watching
their trade slip away. while Los An
geles, Salt Lake and far away Denver
are reaping the benefits that have come
through the building of the San Pedro
road.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1906-03-17
What San Francisco Has Done for Nevada

Was the greed of the Southern Paci'
fc Company the sole cause for its fail
ure to give Nevada a terminal poinl
and compel local importers to pay
freight from the East to Sacramento
and local charges back to this State?
Not entirely. The merchants OF San
Francisco went t. Huntington, to Hays
aud later to Hartman aud said:
1--WE want to hold Nevada III our
grasp. We want to charge the people
of sagebrushdom all that the traffic
will bear, and you must be a party to
our scheme. You must charge a pro-
hibitive rate on all supplies th.t they
could get from the East, so that we can
enjoy a monopoly of the trade with
that State. You must do this or we
will ship over the Northern or Canadian
Pacific and bring our goods by water
from the western termini Of these
roads"
That is what the San Francisco mer-
chants have done. Nevada built the
finest structures in San Francisco out
of the Comstock mines and later estab'
lished and supported many Of the mer.
camille houses in the city that sucked
the lifeblood of the commonwealth.
The San Francisco merchants are
now getting their just deserts. Bust.
ness is stagnant, and it will grow worse
especially after the Western Pacific
makes of Reno a terminal point and
ends the shack haul' charge, which
has done more than all other agencies
combined to hold Nevada back.
The San Francisco merchants can al
ready read the hand writing on the wall

ALL RISKS ovERPAID.

Testimony has been given at Wash
ington, before the Senate Committee on
Appropriations. to show that the Pow
der Trust is exacting most exorbitan'
prices for the powder it furnishes the
Government for use in the Army and
Navy. 1t appears that this Powder
Trust furnishes all the powder used by
the Government, and it is stated that
for 81, 900, 900 the Government could
build four powder plants. better than
those owned by the Trust. and in a
single year save enough money not
only to pay for the work. but also to
have a 81, 900, 900 surplus left in the
Treasury, that would under present
prices be paid out to the Trust.
If this statement be true, says the
Sacramento Bee, the Government can
not too soon establish it's own powder
works. In any case, it seems very un'
wise to have the Army and Navy o.
the United States dependent upon Q
private manufacturing concern for 1T
supply of explosives, even If the prices
were reasonable.

Western Teachers the Best Paid.

School teachers are paid better in the
West than in any other section of the
United States. This statement may be
a surprise to many who have been &C
customed to make the "wild and
woolly West" the butt of their jokes,
bat ii is borne out by the last report of
the Commissioner Of Education. The
average salary paid male teachers in
the Western Division according to the
report is $40. 98. and the average for
female teachers is $56. AZ. The West
ern Division includes Montana, Wy
oming. Colorado. Utah, Nevada, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon and California
and the territories Of New Mexico and
Arizona. The nearest approach to the
salaries paid in this division are paid
in the North Atlantic Division, where
men get $67. IS and women $43.57 The
lowest salaries are paid in the South.
where men get $50. 10 and the women
$685.

Although it is yet early to begin the

ready attracting considerable attention
and without doubt the greatest number
Of people are looking to President
Roosevelt to settle that question once
aud for all by renouncing his declared
intention Of retiring at the end Of his
first elective term.
Since President Roosevelt assumed
the Office and began to pilot the Ship Of
State he has sailed her so far of the old
course that the captains who had grown
old in the party service have many OF
them found themselves without a COM
mand and at sea without a rudder.
The Sherman law enacted by Congress
to satisfy and still q demand from the
people, but never enforced, has under
R~oosevelt's guidance proven a reel
upon which he has threatened to pile
the whole craft, or remove it from the

Bossism has been treading a steady

Miss Susan B. Anthony. whose death
occurred Tuesday, was Il Of the most
notable figures Of her generation. Born
in Adams. Mass. in 1920. she had just
finished her eighty-sixth year. Her
early school life was spent in her
fathers school and completed in a
Quaker boarding school in West Phila-
delphia. She taught; school from her
fifteenth to her thirtfeth. year. and in
1852 helped organize the first State
Temperance Society, and became active
in anti-slavery and woman's suffrage
work. During the War she was promi-
nent in the National Loyal League. and
at the close of the War devoted herself
entirely t the woman suffrage move.
ment. She was arrested aud tried for
voting under the fourteenth amend
ment in 1872, and participated in a
number Of State campaigns for Consti.
~tutioual amendments granting suffrage
to women. Her last public appearance
was at the National Woman Suffrage
Convention in Baltimore a few weeks
ago.
Although Miss Anthony's life work
was devoted to securing suffrage for
her sex, it accomplished more. probably
in other directions than in the suffrage
cause. Indirectly. the agitation which
she began and continued so persistent
ly and ably. was instrumental in ex-
tending the rights of women in this
country UNNECESSARILY. This has been
true particularly in the liberalization OF
the laws affecting q wife's right to hold
property in her own name. to have the
care Of children exclusively under GER
tain conditions. and to have a voice in
the management Of public affairs by
limited suffrage.
Although she had lived to see great
made in her life work, Miss
Anthony expressed regret just before
she died because she had done 81 little.

Life Of Noted Woman Reformer Closed

The fact is, she had achieved marvels
in the face of seemingly insurmountable
obstacles. She had to overcome the &C.
cumulated prejudices Of centuries; she
had to combat the natural opposition of
sex selfishness in man; she fought the
traditions Of civil and religious conser.
vatisrh and more than all she had to
struggle with the willingness Of her
sex to approve Of her efforts. In spite
of these difficulties. women in America
have won the right TO unlimited suf-
frage in four States-Utah. Idaho,

they vote on school questions; and in
Kansas they vote in school and NUM-

BACK nome.
I've been up in tn mountains
For a little spell o. rest;
Up where tn birds an trees an BROOKS
Are alwus at their best;
Away from tn din o. tn city's streets.
Away from tn rush o. trade.
Jest lollin' round In tn lap o. peace.
An p'rhaps I'd oughter stayed
A few days more. but / lind felt
That. while twas nice Z roam
Among tn trees an by tn brooks,
I'd like t git back home.
There hain't no place for me like that.
Where / can set around.
now that / own II all.
From tn roof down L TIL ground.
There's certain chairs that fit my back
AS other chairs don't do:
There's a bed that's been my friend fos
years
An a lounge that suits me too.
I like tn paper on tn walls
An tn pictures hangin' there:
! Xix tn carpets on tn floors
An tn scent that's In tn air
OF homemade bread an bakin' beans
An other things that's good.
Cooked by tn sweet faced. gray haired
girl
Who at my side has stood.
Strong an noble. like a queen,
For more than forty years,
Joinin' in my laughter
An Joinin' In my tears.
] put my arm around her
An kiss her precious face.
She lays her head down on my breast
It's her a y'rite restin' place.
/ stroke her snowy hair an think
That. while It's nice { roam
Among tn trees an by tn brooks.
I'd ruther be back home.
