Mr. Harrisman sat down to more
cheers. There was no question that
his assurances were such as to reassure
the meeting.
The majority Of the committee seemed
TO think that the resolution introduced
by Senator NewlanGs directing an in
vestigation of the feasibility of the
project for the government guarantee
Of a $500 900, 600 municipal bond issue
was ill-advised.

"knackers In Warrington"

Eve must show no haste" said
Mayor Schmitz. The knockers are all
lined up in Washington just now, and
if this project is defeated it will be
worse blow to San Francisco than
either the earthquake or the fire. We
can not afford to have any proposition
We may submit turned down in Wash
ington. We must evolve one that will
be accepted. No scheme will be worth
considering that has not the recon-
mendation of the treasury department.
Above all. we must go SLOW
Mayor Schmitz advised against ex-
travagant ideas for the Identification
of the new city. He estimated that the
replacement Of ruined municipal build
ings, including school and fire houses,
will cost Sl0O,060,00

No Dearth of Mechanics.

According to P. H. Mccarthy, presi-
dent of the building trades council,
there is no dearth Of mechanics in
San Francisco. About 1000 men af-
filated with the council are registered.
He advises against mechanics coming
to San Francisco. He said that the
council would not permit an advance Of
wages, and that no advantage would
be taken.

Insurance Losses $250,000, 900.

The estimates of fire insurance COM
panies on losses, carefully checked,
place the total at $3.50, 000, 0o0-much
greater than was supposed. but admit
ted by insurance men to be close to
the actual figures. The adjusters are
rapidly shaping up the rules to govern
the payment of policies. There appears
to be a marked disposition to attempt
the segregation of earthquake and fire
damage, despite the qualifications Is
sued by several of the larger companies
to pay dollar for dollar on policies. The
outcome is awaited with the keenest
anxiety, as a decision not to consider
earthquake damages in the adjustment
would mean ruin to thousands Of per-
sons whose only remaining assets are
their insurance policies.

Securities In Ashes.

The commercial banks have arranged
to receive deposits on new accounts,
which may be checked out without re-
striction. The savings banks are un-
willing to jeopardize the interests OF
depositors by opening their vaults
now, as the contents Of several vaults
prematurely opened have been de-
stroyed. Within the last u hours 576
safes and vaults have been opened, and
in only 60 per cent. of these instances
were the contents found intact. In
many cases a pile of ashes represented
thousands of dollars worth OF securi-
ties and vaIuables.
San Francisco Clearinghouse.
The San Francisco clearinghouse re-
ceived report from its executive COM
mittee which was adopted. A portion
of the report read as follows:
The committee feels that the bust
ness interests, as such, do not need
charity to aid them in rebuilding the
city. With $l50,0O0, 900 or more to be
received from the insurance companies
the banks in strong, solvent condi.
ton, bountiful harvests promised in
the state, and general underlying bust
ness sound. any further financial help
should tie looked for only on strictly
business principles. In other words
since the Insurance indemnity will
largely replace the destroyed build
ings, as we'll as stocks Of merchandise
and our banks able to meet genera
commercial requirements, individuals
| or institutions who may come to FIND
it necessary or expedient to apply tc
! outside sources for loans, should do so
as occasion may arise, on the usual ba
sis of good security. We can not re-
| build in a day. We shall shortly have
more money than can be immediatel!
used, so it seems premature to assume
that the occasion demands the intro
| duction of untried methods OF finance
which may be found to be Illegal Of
otherwise impracticable.

Ed. ". Clark

Born in Nevada and substantial res
ident Of Lincoln county for more than
a quarter oi century, Ed. W. Clark
needs no introduction to the people of
this county. \ pioneer in business, he
has contributed much to the upbuilding
OF Southern Nevada, and his dealings
with the public have always been hon
orable.
At the head of the Ed. W. Clark
Forwarding Company he has shown
himself to be a man of business ability,
integrity and enterprise. Such men
should be placed in charge of Lincoln
county's affairs. AT the request OF the
Democratic party Ed. W. Clark stands
as candidate for County Treasurer.
He is man OF excellent habits and
large property interests, and is there
fore safe man to handle public'funds.
While resident OF Caliente, New, Mr..
Clark is a man of liberal mind, whose
business interests have made him cit
izen of the entire county, rather than
OF a section. He will poll II heavy vote
from both parties.

COUNTY SEAT
Strong Endorsement From
Searchlisht

EDITOR AGE:-I notice in your last
issue OF The Age there was an asser-
tion made that Searchlight was after
the county seat. The report was spread
by a bunch of real estate men and pub
lished in the Los Angeles papers. This
report is canard and absolutely un-
true Searchlight does not want the
county seat, but every man, woman and
child in the camp will do everything in
their power to bring it to Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is the logical position for the
seat. and the amount OF capital
that has been invested in that city,
certainly entities it to this honor.
We don't want it, and will help you
To get it to the best OF our ability.
SEARCHLIGHT.

Religious Work

DR.. Balm reports the most enthusiastic
Sunday school last Sabbath in the his
tory of the place. over fifty in attend
ance, with each one of the officers and
teachers in their place. Every interest
is growing rapidly. The evening ser
vice was well attended aud the singing
especially inspiring. SUNDAY school is
at 10 80 a. m. evening servi.e AT I 80.
Everybody is invited to come and help
in the singing.
Work will soon begin on the new
church edifice. 1t will be bullt oi ce-
ment blocks and will be located on lots
IA, Is and l6, block -, just opposite
the public square. The plan will seat
3l5 people, and the church building is
greatly needed. DIR. Balm has charge OF
the State from Bullfrog south. There
is not place of worship in southern
Nevada of any denomination anywhere
except those of the Mormon people at
Bunkerville and Panaca. The report OF
a church building having recently been
erected at Bullfrog is mistake. That
was a public school building.
The Sunday school social on Friday
evening of last week at the home of
Mrs. c. =. Squires was delightful oc-
casion. To see so many children to-
gether and enjoy themselves as they
did was enough to make MS forget all
our troubles for the time. Music, songs
and recitations, and then the ice cream
and cake buried all our sorrows. Quite
a number OF adults and parents were
out. We get better acquainted by oc-
casions OF this sort and hope We may
have them repeated frequently.

THAT COUNTY Debt
More Light Wanted About
the Refunding Bill

At the Democratic meeting in Las
Vegas Governor Sparks and Attorney
General Sweeney denounced the Lin
coin county refunding bills passed and
vetoed last session Of the Legislature
Hon. Frank Williams, who voted for
both bills. and now q candidate for re-
election, was at the meeting. All these
gentlemen belong TO the Democratic
ing question.
At the Republican meeting, held in
Searchlight, Oscar J. Smith, Republican
candidate for Congress, il reported to
have said that part of the debt was
created long years ago by subsidizing a
railroad that failed to build to Lincoln
county.
The Age desires to publish the truth,
and will thank any one in possession of
the facts to enlighten the public.
While the county may be legally
bound to pay this debt there is no moral
obligation to do SO.
Candidates for the Legislature should
before election fully inform the people
OF Lincoln county concerning the terms
Of the refunding bill they propose to
champion. Otherwise the Governor
NAV again veto the measure.
In denouncing the county funding
bills which were vetoed last session of
the Legislature, Governor Sparks and
Attorney General Sweeney placed our
members oi the Legislature, who voted
for the bills, in an embarrassing posi-
tion. Now let us have such a measure
submitted to the people before election,
so that its terms may be made plain.
The people who are to pay the debt
should he fully advised before another
bill is introduced. Who has the bill to
be introduced, and what are its pro-
visions?
Lincoln county tax payers do not
want the big debt refunded in a more
burdensome form. They are interested
in knowing the TERMS on which it is
to he refunded. Candidates for the
Legislature should state their views on
the subject.

The Highest point7

What is the highest point Of lan3 in
Wisconsin? Thi. is a question often
askei, and it is usually answered after
reference to four volume work on the
geology Of Wisconsin which was pub
lished by the state a quarter Of CEN
TUly ago. For many years the highest
point of land in Wisconsin was believed
to be Holy Hill, aud IL was proposed to
call this eminenee Ilaphams Peak. Both
Holy Hill and the highest peak Of the
Blue Mounds are lesa than 500 feet
above level Of tbs aea according to the
Evening Wisconsin. The altitude of
Rib Hill in Marathon conntY. near Wan.
sau, is 1g42 feet above the level of the
sea, and 907 feet above the level Of lake

~ all the purchases made during the
early fall are delivered and tbs grower
Is In possession of the proceeds Of his to-
bacco Seldom ii ever before was the

the credit OF the packers that they have
so promptly resp 1nded to the pressure
OF growers for early delivery, even to
their great inconvenience and expense.
There are plenty of storehouses yet filled
TO the rooi with bundle leaf that will
require some weeks to sort. But with
the howl of the farmers appessed, this
work can be done more leisurely.
The market is eager for anything of
leaf uat1re offered for sale; whether
new or old tobacco, it is quickly snapped
up.
The strenuous condition of the scrap
tobacco msrket is reflected somewhat
locally. Every pound Of filler or low
grade leaf is hunted closely and prices
are far beyond anything ever before re-.
