PerilOus State.

Goldfeld is in n perilous state this
winter. Frequent fires, lack of hotel
accommodations, the wild excitement
of speculation, lack Of fuel and the
fear Of an epidemic of the dread pneu-
monia, has we'll nigh set the great
gold camp crazy. Travellers from the
southern camps describe the condi-
tions as something terrible. A bed Is
hard to get, and when found Il charge
of 81 a night Is exacted. AT that rate
men who are fortunate enough to get
a bed pay for it in advance for the
time they intend to stay IN the place.
The papers of Goldfeld are calling
upon the business men of the camp to
do something to relieve the situation,
but they seem powerless to do So A
recent arrival from there says he
counted thirty men sleeping in chairs
in one saloon, and that every saloon
and all-night places in both camps
are crowded with men who sit in
chairs and snatch what little sleep
they can get. Most Of the men have
money with which to pay for accom-
modations, but the rooms are not to
be had. One day last week eight
dead men were in the morgue at one
time, ard il the cold weather con-
tinues hundreds will die, as scores
sleep on the bare floors of the saloons
and are sure to get pneumonia.

To Build New Roundhouse.

The building OF q new roundhouse
here to replace the n which was
burned last week has been commenced.
1t will not be a large structure. as it
will only contain three stalls and the
repair shops, but it will be better than
none at all. The building of the
roundhouse here indicates that the
much-taiked-of removal OF the freight
division terminal to INLAY has not
been definitely decided upon.-Win-

made an enviable record as an official.
In 1899 MI. Murphy and family

cher business. About ten months age

THANKSGIVING DAY.

To-day is than ksgiving day and no
people IN the face of this big globe
have more occasion to observe the DC
casion than have the people OF this
State and the region surrounding it.
Compared with that day when the
custom was first inauguarated on
New England's bleak shore, this year
of grace, 1905, is q festal time. The
crops were never better, the mines
never rs productive, the kindness of
Providence never SO conspicuous in
all the outward manifestations of
bounty. Thanks are due from every
man, m and child in the Nation.
The Salt Lake Herald says If any
single cause for rejoicing were to be
chosen it would not be a material
blessing. The productiveness of the
soil, the richness of the mines, the
munifcent returns from the ranges
are all sufficient reason for gratitude
to the Giver of all good; but better
than that, more permanent in it's
value, more profitable in the final
reckoning is the awakening of the ma
tional conscience, the revival OF con-
victions that make for righteousness
in the individual and the state.
In the short twelve-month that has
elapsed since the last national Thanks
giving there has been n momentous
change in the public attitude, a re-
turn to better things that had been
forgotten or ignored in the universal
desire for wealth at any cost. The
exposures Of wrong-doing in high
places, the revelations of malfeasance
in the management of great trusts,
the sudden and violent demonstration
of the lengths to which men were
willing to 60 in their sordid ambition
for power and money-atl these have
been followed by a sincere and deter.
mined effort by the nation to recover
its early-day sanity and return to the
old and tried standards of probity and
honor.
II the salvation of one soul that has
wandered awrong is of great moment,
the promise of a national awakening
that shall lead to repentance and re-
form is cause for unstinted thanks.
For all his mercies to his people,
give thanks. For progress in ma
terial things, for progress in things
social and political and spiritualthanks
are due. Let them be given reverent-
ly, sincerely; and with them let there
be a prayer for guidance that the next
day of thanks may find us all deserv-
ing OF the beneficence that follows the
footsteps OF man here ia this ysar OF
grace.

trunk lines.
The Commission believes that
the combination is similar to that
planned and organized under the
Northern Securities Company.
If such is found to be the case,
it is presumed that suits to dis
solve the combination will be
brought in the United States
courts, under the Sherman Anti
Trust Law.
Mr.. Hartman has certainly
been the most active man in all
of the worlds history to com bine
under one system and control so
many railroads., and has expend-
ed, fabulous sums of money to ef-
feet this great combination. Not
withstanding this, the greatest
shortage of cars exists through
out the whole system ever known
under any system of transporta-
ton.
Mr.. Harriman:has spent mil
lions upon millions of money to
purchase and unite, under his
plan, every desirable railroad
that he could find for sale, and
yet it seems impossible for him to
fiud means to buy new cars to
move the rapidly accumulating
freight along his roads.
Under his management, the
urgent demand of the public to
move their accumulated products
to market receives little response.
At the same time active effort is
being made by Mr.. Hartman to
gain control of other roads.
The Interstate Commission
should be empowered to go into
this proposition thoroughly and
to require every interstate rail-
road to furnish cars sufficient to
transact the business along the
lines of road operated under the
system. If this were the case,
managers so eager to gather all
railroads possible under one
control would see to it that the
equipment was ample to carry
the traffic offered.

No matter how severe or chronic your

SO much faith in the power of Hyomei to
cure the disease that they will give ys.u
their personal guarantee that the remedy

A complete Hyomei outfit costs but 81,

needed they can be bought for 30 cents,
making it the most economical treatment
for eatarrh. Remember that Hyomel
