At the conclusion of the speaking, the
chairman proposed three cheers for the
candidates and republican party which
were given with a hearty good will by
the vast assemblage. lntroductlons
followed for few minutes, after which
the chairs and benches were removed,
and those who enjoy the terpsichorean

Ten Gents a Copy
FAlRYIEW IS NOT
A ONE=MINE CAMP
All the Men Obtainable Are Being Put
to Work and Good Ore
Is Showing Up.

l notice that there is quite a little ex-
eitemeut about the opening OF the
Walker Reservation. 1t has attracted
many people from all over the mining
country-east, north, south and vest
but, neyerIess doubt as to whether the
Fairyiew district has felt it as badly as
the other mining districts Fairyiew
has come, and is still coming, up 10 the
front as an ore shipping camp. Ore is
nov being hauled out as fast as
treighting facilities will allow. At the
Nevada Hills mine, ore is being stacked
up faster than it can be hauled away to
be treated for its precious metal. Ore
is also being stacked ON the Fairyiew
Eagle ground and ON number OF
others. It has been shown and proven
that Fairyiew is no one-mine camp.
Mines are springing up all around, and
what is OF more importance, ore Is being
taken out Of them
Understand that Il company has been
incorporated to pipe water into Fair
view from Middlegate, short distance
northeast IRON town. This in itselfwill
materially help the camp, for that is
the only stand-baek Fairview has.
All the different mining properties are
putting a large force OF men to work on
their ground, and it seems to be pref
ty hard proposition to get them, for
there is great scarcity OF mep. Call
after call comes for miners, but the
most of them seem to be unsatisfied.
|, and not only myself, but all mining
experts aud engineers, who have visited
Fairview aud Wonder, after thoroughly
looking over the district, pronounce it to
be one OF the most highly mineralized
districts in the country. The ore is II
concentrating proposition, but it is so
rich and the bodies of ore are 50 large
that the above statement can be inter
preted as a very conservative and safe
statement
Business in the last month or 50 has
substantially increased and the business
men are all preparing for a very good
lall and winter season, and all signs
tend to show that they will not be dis
appointed in their preparations.

The Man Who Means

Once in while hear some ancient
duffer moaning because times and things
are not as they used to be. lie longs
for the good old times. The good old
times were not what they are cracked
up to be. People appeared happy and
eontented but it was forced. In those
days people used to crowd around one
little dingv kerosene lamp at night and
try to read They kept warm by fire
place which broiled the side toward the
fire while the other side frosted. They
saw daily newspaper once month.
They knew little that was going on over
the rest of the world, and toiled from
morning until night for mere pittance.
But then we will always have moaners
with us. Fifty years from now some
fellow will tell about the greatness OF
the present day. They may even brag
about the street railway, but that is put
ting in on pretty thick. The trouble
with people is that as they get older
their stomachs sour and dyspepsia
crawls in, and they forget. Don't be a
moaner.

They Are Fighting GOmpers.

The Industrial Workers OF the World,
who were in annual session in Chicago
last month, denounced Gompers and
John Mitchell as enemies of labor and
accused them of being "reactionaries.
They declared themselves as being op-
posed to the propaganda OF the Amerl-
can Federation OF Labor and said II
Gompers wanted their support they
would have to abandon the Federation
of Labor and come to them and adopt
their ideas. Debs is at the head of the
Industrial Workers of the World, and
it is known that there is bitter enmity
existing between the Socialist and the
labor leader. The |. w. w has absorb
ed the Western Federation OF Miners,
whose headquarters are at Denver.
This is the largest asset which 1t has as
an organization. President Meyer OF
the Federation OF Miners was promin-
ent Socialist before he became connected
with the miners cause

Sparks, buckled OH their saddle bags,
and have made many arduous trips, in

THANKSGIVING DAY
Is PROCLAIMED
The President Sets the Date on Which
the Annual Consumption of
Turkey Takes Place.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The pres
ident today issued proclamation, nam
ing Thursday, November 29th, as day
OF Thanksgiving.
The text Of the proclamation is as
follows.
a Proclamation. The time Of the
year has come, when, in accordance
with the wise custom OF our fathers, It
becomes my duty to set aside special
day Lof Thanksgiving and praise to the
Almighty, because OF blessings we have
received and OF prayer that these bless
ings may be continued. Yet another
year OF widespread wel-being has pass
ed. Never before in cur history, or in
the history Of any other nation, has a
people enjoyed more unbounded mate
rial prosperity than ours a prosperity so
great that it should arouse in us no
spirit OF reckless pride, and least OF all,
Il spirit OF needless regard OF our re
possibilities, but rather sober sense
Of our many blessings, and resolute
purpose, under Providence, not to for
felt them by any action OF our own.
Material well-being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything but
the foundation Of true national greatness
and happiness Ii we build nothing up
on this foundation, then our national
l;Fa ill lo ~ ,,,.o5, ,g.s III ,,,,,,t,. 4. =
house, where only the foundation has
been laid. Upon our material well-be-
ngmust be built Il superstructure OF
individual and national life, lived in ac-
cordance with the laws Of the highest
morality, or else our prosperity itself
will, in the long run, turn out a curse,
instead of a blessing. We should be
both reverentiy thankful for what We
have received, and earnestly bent upon
turning it into Il means OF grace and not
of destruction.
"Accordingly, | hereby set apart
Thursday, the 29th day OF November,
next, as the day OF thanksgiving, and
supplleatlon, upon the people shall
meet in their homes or in church, de-
youtly acknowledging what has been
given them, and to pray that they may,
in addition receive the power to use
these gifts Alright
'In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.

ence OF the United States, the one hun

The Dairy Business

There is no business 50 promising To
the farmers OF the Carson Sink valley
as the dairy business. \ bulletin re-
Gently issued by the California Promo
ton Committee states that less than
half the dairy products used i'll that
state are produced there. In Nevada
the amount produced does not amount
to 10 per cent Of the consumption. We
have, therefore, nearby and home
market of great magnitude, one which
viii take readily and at good prices all
the dairy produce we can raise.
Our country is particularly well adapt
ed to dairying. We have soil which
produces large quantities OF iced, eli
mate which allows the COW to be outside
all the year and to find green pasturage
eight months in the year. Compare
this with the dairy regions OF the Mid
die West, where for five months the
ground is covered with ice and snow and
barren OF all feed. We can produce five
tons OF alfalfa per acre and have con-
siderable pasturage besides. Ensilage
can be put up in large quantities from
the other crops we may produce, but
the amount needed to tide over our
short winters will be less than half that
needed by an Iowa or Minnesota farmer.
An eighty-aCre farm can easily care for
forty cows, and on this farm a goodly
number OF chickens can be raised, ,
which will help swell the revenue. In
California the profits per COW are often
over 500 year. Ii We only realize
one-half this sum, I'm eighty-acre
farm wel-handled will net $1,000 year
profit ON the cows alone, and the calves
will add more to the profits, to say
nothing of the side-lines OF dairying,
the raising Of blooded heiiers for sale,
etc.
We need dairies, SO each farmer now
can have five To ten cows, and a. his
capital increases he can increase his
herd and keep pace with the amount of
land he levels and puts in shape for cui-
tiyation.
Fallon is central point for cream
cry, and some wide-awake business
man should be busy now arranging for
the starting OF this industry in the
spring.
For those who are not well acquainted
with the dairy business, the Depart
ment OF Agriculture has printed a num-
Der OF pamphlets on the subject and
these are distributed free to those who
apply. The following bulletins can be

5. District Court at Sitka.
