]. Ross Clark, brother of United
dent of the new railroad being built
from the Salt Lake Route at Las Vegas
to Bullfrog and Southern Nevada camps
paid his first visit to Goldfield Wednes-
day arriving from Bullfrog, with Vice
President c. o. Whittemore, of the
Las Vegas and Tonopah railroad.
Mr. Clark took his first trip over the

was taken for a tour of the camp by
Malcolm Macdonald in the latter's ma

and Mr. Whittemore left for Tonopah
on their way to Salt Lake.
1--WE are not in a position to say" de-
clared Mr.. Clark when asked regarding
his plans whether we will continue the
road from Bullfrog to Tonopah this
year or not. That is something which
the contingencies of the future will de-

can build through to Tonopah, but the
matter is still undecided and will re-
main so until Senator Clark arrives
after the adjournment of congress The
senator expects to personally inspect
the new road soon after it is completed
into Bullfrog, Rhyolite and Beatty and
at that time definite plans for the fu-
ture will be made.
I'VE are very we'll pleased with the
outlook for business. The railroad will

and is built with a view to handling a

Among odd grayestones is one
in Leominster, England which
bears a portrait carved in marble,

These few words give but .

Joseph Palmer died in Leomin-

Of 81. He is not mentioned in the
town history, yet tradition has
many interesting stories to tell OF
him.
1t is said he gloried in espous-
ing the unpopular side in any con
troversy and posing as a martyr.
Early in the nineteenth century
It was fashionable for men to go
smooth shayen, so Joseph Palmer
determined to wear a beard, net
because Of its beauty, but to as
sert his right to be contrary ifhe
wanted to be. Men and bows used
TO jeer at him, much to his graft
fcation.
Once a crowd of young fellows
seized him in a hotel in Fitchburg
and started to cut off his beard.
He attacked his prosecutors with
a knife and wounded one Of them.
For this deed he was summoned
into court, and be ever afterward
felt himself a much prosecuted
man for cOnscience's sake.
According to one Of the older
residents of Leominster, Mr..
Palmer was much interested in the
transcendental philosophy found.

Palmer contributed toward the
