The most discoUaging change observed in
this period of manufactured" literature is the
decadence Of humor. That is an article not
TO be fshed out of the inkpOt and measured off
in appropriate quantities at a price. The
growth of nature and accident not even =
professor of literature in woman's college can
impart it, lecture she never so wisely. There is
a painful air of effort in most current "humor "
and the thing becomes abhOrrent when a minor
success evokes repetition and attenuation. The
industrious author, having produced a reason
ably good seller" in vein of fun, straigbtwav
begins another work along the same lines re
peating the performance until whatever hunor
there might have been in the first book is lost
In sfaleness and fatness. America is not the
only sufferer from this propensity. England
it is said, also thirsts in vain for humorous Iit
erature, the publishers beating their breasts and
crying aloud for the amusing books which are
not to be found. There are at least two tricksy
sprites to whom the smell of coin or the "scjen
tflc method" mean nothing at all-Poetry and
Humor.
New-York tribune., 1906-06-03

Mr.. Howells. in his latest discussion Of the
literary situation, is by turns ironica optimistic
and indignant The reading public, he declares,
sis not the old reading public with a critical
taste of more or less refinement and the wish
more or less conScienced, to read good things.
What we have now to satisfy is not a palate; it
is a NAV, asking to be filed with whatever
will produce an agreeable feeling of distention
OF quality, when it does not loathe 1t
this maw is fnsensDle; quantity, preferably
quantity that looks like quality, is what the
maw will and must have" The maw NAV be
conceded to Mr.. HOwellS's wrath but we believe
that the palate is in existence too The old
reading public purSues its quiet way, outside
the rush of the unthinking devOurers of ma
chine made novels; the books that are worth
while are published and bought and read In
tie period TO which he looks back with regret
there was NAV Of dimensions truly ca
pacIouS for the works of Sylvanus Cobb and
Mrs. Il. ID. e. N. SOuthwOrth. Bad as the ma
chine made novels of to-day may be- they are
better than the prepOsterOus twaddIe of those
writers and their imitatorS The NAV" can he

Heavy Rains.

The heaviest rain and hailstorm
known here for years fell in the
vicinity of Jackrabbit, crossing
to the Wilson Creek range east,
last Saturday afternoon. Mrs.
Page an old time resident of the
valley says she never witnessed
anything approaching it; while
Jesse Peaslee avows he drove
through a foot of hail on his way
home with wood. Water rose so
high it filed the well belonging
TO Mrs. Page and spread through
the valley at a width unknown
before. The thunder summer
showers still continues in every
and it Ia not improbable
that another big washout will
occur on the San Pedro down
Meadow Valley Wash before
they are over.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

AS the time approaches for
the different political parties
to contemplate their policies, is
is out of place to suggest a few
issues which may come up for
public discussion by either side.
In times past when Lincoln
county was dead, figuratively,
when its population was meager,
when no mines were worked,
no railroads building, no progress
along any lines made and no
criminality, and when county
officials could stay at home and
till their farms there was little
to discuss from political stand
point. The people were content
to let things rock along, for Lin
county was not able to pay much
for little; all that was re-
quired of county officials was
to meet monthly, audit accounts
and draw their salaries, and their
wage for doing this was fixed in
accordance with their work.
Is that the case today? Not
in any sense, but some people
imagine this state of affairs
should continue so far as salar-
les are concerned, and that good
men, as in the past, can be Sc
cured for cheap wages.
Within the last few years
there have been in excess of 300
miles of railroad contracted in
the county and constitution still
going on, new and prosperous
towns have sprung up every
both old and new mining
camps are being worked, taxable
has increased enor-
nously, the population has grown
ill one scarcely knows his neigh
Dor any more, the financial con-
iition of the county is better
han ever in its history, GRIMM
llity in consequence is raging
'ampant and the burden falls
Upon faithful but poorly paid
'fficials. The Jail is crowded
beyond its capacity for comfort
nd unless something is done in
he way of relief along this line
light and day guards with all
he attendant dangers of such a
'olicy will have to be provided.
Kings are different now from
What it has been and the party
which hasn't brains enough to
ee things about right will have
hard time this fall.

Several here anticipate going

Geo. O. Sawyer is building an
addition to his residence.
A report has just reached here
that Fred Mills while descending
a ladder at the Last Chance mine
at Highland fell to the bottom
about 40 feet, running a sharp
pick through his arm. DR.. Van
Enron happened to be on the
ground and dressed his wounds
thus ileviating the necessity of
bringing him to town, and he is
reported doing well. One of the
wrungs on the ladder gave way

cover himself. Mr.. GorGon who

RAILROAD TO PIoCHE.

|
! Owners of properties and
others interested there are great
ly gratified at the receipt of a
message from President John
Weir Of the Nevada Utah Copper
company that Senator Clark
will commence construction at
once of the railroad from
Caliente to Phoebe.
President Weir was in Liver
pool when he received the mes
sage from Senator Clark, en-
route to Paris.
The assurances of the road are
regarded now as positive, and
have been given by Senator
Clark since hearing reports of
his representatives sent out to
investigate the resources of the
district for large enough tonnage
in reasonable time to warrant
construction.
The grade of the roadbed is
practically completed and ties
will soon begin to arrive. If
men can be secured, the track
laying will be concluded within
forty days from its commence
ment. = Telegram

A CoMPLAINER.

1t isremarkable the persistentcy
with which some persons adhere
to the pessimistic side of every
idea approaching enterprise and
advancement. For instance the
efforts now being made by a few
to facility advance the material
welfare of the community is look
ed upon by some from pessim-
istic standpoint. To them it is
the same idea that nothing good
can emenate from Nazareth.
Nothing in their home town looks
good to them, their neighbors
and friends even have some
serious defects and they are
generally not altogether pleased
with themselves. According to
their way of reasoning there will
never be a mine developed in the
community, for no one knows
how to do it except themselves
and they won't. The community
will never advance because they
are an impenetrable impediment
and the railroad cannot come to
town without running over them.
All of these things are possible
but they will not permit it. The
sun may rise tomorrow but not
having done so there must neces-
sarily be some doubt about. it.
