THE RUSH IS ON.

The rush to the Walker Lake Indian
Reservation is on in great shape. In
the neighborhood of | 500 people have
passed through Yerington this week
bound for the new FL Dorado, which, up
to the present time, has been held back
from the white man. These people are
from all parts of the globe Some of
them have come in with good prospect
ing outfits; others have QUILTED here
and are going over to the line with wag-
ons, buckboards, horseback, muleback
and on foot with burro or two to carry
their effects.
The country which seems to be attract
ing the most attention is that around the
lower end of the lake, near Mount Grant,
and it is reported that about 1000 people
are camped along the line at different
points from Mount Grant up to where
the agricultural and grazing land is re-
served
1t has been announced that serious
trouble may arise among those who are
seeking their fortunes in this new coun-
try, but we see no reason why it should.
There may be a few sooners " in on
the ground and the claim hog" may
make his appearance, but they will be
dealt with fairly but firmly. A large
number of the men going into the Res
ervation have been in snch PUSHES ="
before and do not lose their heads.
There will probably be dozen or
twenty out of the big bunch who will
secure some valuable ground 1t is there
to be found, but the majority going in
will be coming out in few weeks dis
gusted and disappointed
This will give them an opportunity to
look around the country and see what
we have outside of the Reservation. If
they will stop to look at it they will see
the greatest and best agricultural section
of Nevada; they will see copper proper
ties that will make their eyes stick out,
aud make them believe that this district
is not half bad after all. 1t is possible
that few may drift in here who will
seize upon the opportunity of making a
town of Yerington by doing many OF
the things which need to be done.
The class of people who have gone
through here has not been bad There
has been little drunkenness, no disturb
ances and but few bad actors in the
bunch. They have left lot of money
in our town, and, we think, have re-
ceived fair treatment. We wish that al
of them could get good claim or two

If President Roosevelt only had
the power he asks Congress to
confer on him to dismiss any
officer of the army or navy whom
hemaY deem "unwOrthy"wouldn't
the heads fall right and left when
epauletted autocrats did not "stand
arOUnd"-to suit him? Under ex-
listing law the President cannot
dismiss officers except on the judg-
ment of a court-martial. Anybody
or anything obnoxious to Theodore
Roosevelt is "unworthy" and if it
depended solely on his will none
would be safe that did not act to
please him. With such power as
that he asks of Congress Gen.
Nelson A. Miles would never have
survived to reach the retired list,
and he would have solved the
Sampson-Schley controversy by
chOpping off the latter's official
head. If Congress is wise it will
not extend Mr.. Roosevelt's power

AMER,cUs IS PROSPECTING NOW

The spirit of unanimity eviden-
ced in Americus-this pulling
together as one man for the ad-
vancement of the city's interests,
is commendable and most encoura-
ging withal. 1t is a spirit the
Times Recorder has long and fer
vently hoped would develop among
the people, and this hope is
abundantly realized in the man
ner in which our enterprising Gill
zens get together upon all subjects
affecting the public veal. The
successful pull made for the Third
district agricultural college is cited
as case in point, and now in terest
is centered upon the building of
the Western & Gulf Railway
already an assured success-the
building of a 1925, 900 cotton mill,
an electric street railway, electric
power plant and other enterprise.
A potent factor in the successful
launching of these enterprises is
the Americas Board of Trade. It's
members, well representing every
branch of the city's industrial and
commercial life, work together in
utmost harmony and for the public
good. The wheels of progress and
prosperity in Americus are turns
ing more rapidly than ever before,
and the future of South Georgia's
metropolis was never SO bright as
now. And ia this happy and
prosperous condition the Times
Recorder rejoices with it's people
and with them looks upon a pass
ing year of great accomplishment.

Naturally, no heed will be given to
