Hard to Get Farm HeIp.

The following from the Saginaw
Courier Herald shows the scarcity of
help in the vicinity of the Owosso Sugar
Co. s big farm:
illustrating the scarcity of farm hands
in this section conditions on the Prai-
rie Farm, the 10000 acre tract of dyked
land in this county, may be cited. This
farm employs between 500 and 900 men,
and number of women and boys dur.
ing the busy season,
At present the management is en-
deavoring to add to the force in order
to harvest the fall crops, and after a
patient canvass has been able to get but
three farm laborers.
1t is singular that at this season of the
year there should be ascry of shortage.
The majority of work on farms is COM
pleted, although sugar beets, corn and
other of the harder crops still require
much attention. AS a rule the farmer
is enabled to get through the fall
months with the same force as early in
the year and all the crops are easily
harvested. The extraordinary beet
crop is given as the cause of the trouble
this fall.
The same condition exists in Owosso
in almost all lines of work. The Sugar
Co. reports that it is impossible to get
sufficient help to unload beets at the
factory.

Caution to Offenders.

Since the unfortunate tragedy OF last
Saturday, Justice Brissell has instruct
ed the officers of the law to arrest all
members, those without visible
means Of support, hangers-on around
public places and houses Of i'll fame
found with concealed weapons upon
their person and bring them before aim
for accounting. There is an ordinance
against the carrying of concealed
in Nye county, which makes
it an ofense punishable by a fine OF
from $1.0O to $500. and by imprison-
ment for six months in the county jails,
either or both, in the discretion of the
Justice. Justice Brissell declares that
he will punish very severely any such
offenders brought before him.
Chief of Police Mckenzie has issued
similar orders to his s~ubordinates and it
is believed that one or two examples OF
the power Of the law to punish, will
have a very salutary effect on those
who are wont to brandishing firearms,
under the noses of ~law-abiding citizens,
while celebrating a drunken debauch.

st. Marks Episcopal Church

The elegant stone structure-St.
Marks Episcopal church, being erected
in the southern part of town, is rapidly
nearing completion, work being under
the immediate supervision of G. b.
Lyons of this town. The dimensions of
the building are 33x60 and 90 feet high.
The Ladies' Guild will have rooms in
the basement, 2Ox24 feet with an eight
foot ceiling. The breaking of ground
for this building commenced about three
months ago and it is expected that il
will be ready for holding church services
by the first of June.
R. M. Henderson has the contract fol
the building while the responsibility fol
the stone work rests upon R. E. Burdick
The estimated cost of this edifce /:
$40, 900. This speaks well for Tonopah
and, as money talks" in church mat
tiers as well as in any other walk of life
it goes to show that the faith of thu
church-goer is equally strong with tina
of the mining promoter in the future
greatness of u city.

Railroad improvements.

As much trouble has been experienced
in the past in the shipment of freight
between Austin and Battle Mountain,
on account of the bad condition of the
railroad, it will be gratifying to those
who have been doing business over that
line, to learn that the company is over
hauling its tracks, putting on new
engines and cars, and the service will
soon be all that could be desired.

A REPUBLICAN SPEAKS.
II the Tribune Is Honest, Why Does
Il Not Answer Duniway?

Pendletor, April 1S.-(To the Edi-
tor.-T'he only time that the editor of
the Tribune shows that he has any,
thing even like one of the faculties
possessed by the average school boy,
is when he says nothing. That is not
very frequent, however. When he
does attempt to say something he re.
minds me OF the two-headed calf
a freak of nature which is never
frightening anything but itself.
Mr.. Duniway's communication
which appeared in yesterdays edition
of your paper was excellent reading:
but not only that, It was so full of
truth that it's every statement must
have caused Dodd to have had a
series of moral nightmares. The al
legged owner of the sheet dare not an
swer it. He knows what would hap
pen. He realizes what his posi-
ton Is In this community
and were he to invoke all the gods
and goddesses of old to his aid he
would find that paganism, like his
conscience, is nonentity. He is
grasping at the few last straws to save
himself from being hurled into aphe-
lion prematurely. Can he do it7
Nay. think he is tottering more
rapidly than he knows.
AS far as the prestige of the paper
which he attempts to edit Is concern
ed, 1t is about as wholesome and ef-
fective as the walls and yelps of yell
