Returns to Nevada

Ray Baker of Tonopah, who has been
visiting in Reno for a few days, left
for the southern camp, says the Reno
Gazette of last Saturday. Ray, though
not an ~octogenerian, belongs to the old
guard of Alameda county, California,
politicians. He is a Nevada boy, how
ever, having been born in this State
and educated at the State university.
For a number of years he was the right
hand man of the Republicans leaders in
Alameda county-and Alameda county
is the political hub of California. He
says he is out of politics, but anybody
who has known him in former days will
take that statement just as seriously as
if he said he had decided to dispense
with the breath of life. He has come
to the conclusion that Nevada is about
the best State in the union, and has
decided to make his home here.

RIVAL RAILROADS
in THIS STATE

Thai interest in Nevada railroad ex-
tension is felt throughout the West is
proved by the following extract from
the Denver Report:
One of the best evidences of the
favorable light in which Nevada mining
is regarded is the unmistakable rivalry
which the railroads are exhibiting in an
effort to secure the tonnages awaiting
outlet to the smelling markets.
Commencing with the projection of
a number of small competing lines, the
situation is narrowing down to rivalry
between two of the largest interests in
the United States, viz, the Southern
Pacific and Western Pacific or the
Hartman and Gould interests, respec-
lively. Just at the present moment
the former occupies the position of
vantage. With a transcontinental line
~traversing the northern part of the
State, and the Clark road, which is
said to control, reaching across the
southern section, the key to the early
control of the desert region lying be-
tween is in the connection of these two
roads by a link which shall include the
camps Of Bullfrog, Goldfeld and Tono-
pah.
Apparently this link is about to be
welded into the chain which will give
the Southern Pacific the coveted con-
troll for a few years. The road from
Nina to Tonopah is practically con-
trolled b. them, so far as ore tonnage
is concerned, as is also the extension to
Goldfeld. This is the northern part of
the link, In the south, the branch
from the Clark road to Bullfrog is
almost completed, leaving only a gap
from Goldfield on the south. To fill
this, the owners of the Tonopah &
Goldfield decided some time ago to
build a line, and put a large force of
men at work. Now comes the news
that the Clark road has bought the
surveys of this extension to Bullfrog.
thus giving the Southern Pacific a con-
tinuous right of way from its trans
continental line on the north to Clark
road on the south.

Dining Cars Pnt On.

Although Manager Taggart has
failed to obtain a night train service
between Reno and Tonopah, he has
managed to secure dining Ears for the
trains running between Reno and the
southern mining city and the Ears will
be attached to the train in the near
future, says the Reno Gazette. This
will be a great accommodation to the
people travelling over the hot and dusty
desert, as at the present time they are
not only required to make this hot trir
in the day time, but are required to gC
without eating, unless they secure
their lunches from the buffet car.

Tonopah People al the Coast

Santa Cruz is becoming quite a resort
for Tonopah and Goldfeld people, aays
the Journal of Commerce. They say
that the Pacific ocean reminds them of
home because it is as wide as the desert.
and they like to boom" the surf. But
it is quite the thing to take a dip in the
surf and think of the Amargosa river
which is knee deep except in cloudburst
times; or to take a prominade along
the beach and not get hit by a sand
storm.
B. j. Reilly of Reilly lease fame, and
wife are among those present from
Goldfeld andL. l.. Blumenthal and wife
are representing Tonopah. During the
week, and more especially on Satur-
days and Sundays there is a stream of
visitors from Tonopah and Goldheld
who run down from San Francisco.
They don't stay long however, for the
rising tide brings visions of the rising
market and back they hike for San
Francisco.

Enforce The Law.


Point Pleasant's streets will never
be clean until the ordinances in
relation to throwing things into
them are enforced. A dozen men
might go over the streets each day
and carry away the papers and
trash that are thrown there, but SO
long as persons are permitted to go
right along behind them and throw
more rubbish into the streets they
can not be kept clean. The way
to stop this uncleanliness is to go
to the source. If the police would
arrest every person, no matter who
he might be, who seen throwing
papers vegetables, dead rats, tin
cans, sticke, rocks, boots, straw,
banana Feelings, orange Feelings,
60 or any other kind of rubbish
into the streets. and if fines were
imposed on all persons convicted
of such acts, there would be very
little street cleaning necessary. A
few arrests and fines would put a
stop to the practice of making the
streets dumping ground for rub
bish, and municipal cleanliness.
which would please the most fastid-
ious, would be the result.

Mr.. Hugh Thomas, near Lstart,
w. Va, passed from this earth
Thursday. May 8. 1906. He was
faithful believer in God and left
his many friends with the blessed
assurance that he had gone to meet
his Savior.
What a consolation to his dear
friends to know that some day they
can meet him over there.
He was kind, loving young man
and brought sunshine to those
whom he met. he leaves father
and mother three brothers and two
sisters to mourn his death. May
they put their trust in Him who
doeth all things well.
Hugh has gone and left us
He has climbed the golden stair
He is with the happy Angels
In that land SO bright and fair.
We are so sad and lonely
Since he has left us here to roam
But we know that he is happy
In that bright and heavenly home
Dear parents we know you loved him
But the Savior loved him more
So he tenderly called him
To that happy golden shore.
In the cold and silent clay
They have laid him now to rest
With his eyes closed SO gently
And his hands upon his brs asst.
We will trust In the Savior
In his kind and tender care
And when we cross the river
We shall meet him over there.
There well part again no never II
But with him will always stay II ;
On won't that be happy meeting
Farewell. dear Hugh farewell
We will meet you by and by
In that land that's free from sorrow
Which is up beyond the sky.
