The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1906-10-20


To the Editor Of the Eureka SENTINEL:
Buck Ingalls,, of Oiinghouse fame,
was appointed by Governor Sparks to
represent Nevada in the Mining Con-
eress at Denver this week. and he with
| DIR. Tibbetts left on Monday evening
for that. point.
A considerable amount Of sickness is
reported throughout the city. and
among the diseases mentioned is q
number of the dreaded typhoid.
Among the victims is DIR. O'Neal. who
is reported to be seriously sick with the
malady.
We are all familiar with the old song
about our old COW. "Our old COW she
crossed the road because she crossed
the road, sir, and the reason why she
crossed the road was because she cross
ed the road, sir" and Reno has an old
bridge which crosses the Truckee river,
and the only reason why it crosses the
river, sir, is because it crosses the
river, sir; because when you have
crossed on it all you can do is to cross
back, as one end of it lands nowhere,
or somewhere where the owner of the
land does not want it to land, and as a
result it ends nowhere for the people.
1t hardly seems possible that intelli-
gent people could blunder so. but the
facts are stubborn things and this is
one of them. Now they are talking OF
putting rollers under it and moving ii
to suit the land owners idea of where it
should land.
Politics in Reno are decidedly on the
quiet order. 1t seems this locality Is
especially selected for the final battle
royal, as the candidates now seem to be
busy in other parts of the State.
The Gazette is trying to organize a
boomer club to assist in procuring ter
minal rates for Reno. aud in this that
paper is to be applauded. but one OF the
peculiar things about the whole move is
that only about one out of three of the
members who are already subscribers
to that list are really in favor of the
primary object of the association
Strange, is it not? But if a careful
canvas was TO be made of the business
men of this community, and IN honest
expression obtained from all of them,
not one in ten would express himself in
favor Of terminal rates for Reno.
1t requires the presence of jobbers to
make a move along these lines, and we
have not a jobber in the city, hence the
indifference to the movement. While
this. the "Denver of Nevada" has been
quietly sleeping upon its privileges,
Denver of Colorado, and Salt Lake of
Utah, both of which are full of jobbers.
have already received marked reduc
tons in freight rates, the reduction at
Salt Lake amounting to an average of
10 per cent. while Reno continues to
pay the same old rate. Mr.. Gazette. in

~"GROCERYMAN MANN"
How the Illinois Congressman OBJ
tanned His Title

The latest title won by congressman
James X. Mann of Chicago is that of
''groceryman." He won 1t by his
championship of pure food legislation
when the house of representatives con-
sidered the subject recently In COM
mittee of the whole. On this occasion
the space in front of the speakers desk
resembled a delicatessen store and a
corner grocery combined. The display
Of food products was for the purpose
of demonstrating the contentious of
che majority of the committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, of
which Mr.. Mann is a member, that a
pure food law Is necessary for the pro
lection of the people. In addressing
the house Mr.. Mann selected various
articles of table use from the collec-
ton and, holding them up in full view
Of his audience, showed how they were
adulterated. He showed honey made
from glucose, ~cottonseed oil which had
been used at the Union League club OF
Philadelphia as a fine grade of olive oil
and alleged Maraschino cherries which
had been picked green and colored witt

with.

Freight Rate Discrimination .
the Florida East Coast.

The Southern Ruralist prints an
interesting communication from a pine
apple grower on the East Coast of
Florida. 1t speaks for itself:
In the September number of the
Ruralist, Mr.. r. L. Goodwin, of Ft.
Pierce, Florida, tries to make out that
pineapple growing is nearly a contin-
ua1 picnic. Well, L am raising pines
and L find that it is mostly work and
very little play about it.
Mr.. Goodwin mentions some draw
backs but does not say anything about
the newest and worst one, which is
the discrimination in freight rates the
Florida East Coast r. r. (Flagler's
rOadD put in force this season. Pine
apples are carried from Havana to
Chicago over this road via Miami for
81 cents IA crate. From Miami to Chi
cagO the rate is $1.O5. The railroad
people say they are losing money on
the Cuban deal. Yaw. But suppOsing
they are, then they are taking from
us to give to the Cubans, and what
are you going to do about it?'' The
Interstate Commerce Commission say
they have no authority to interfere,
as the shipments originate in a for
eign port. The extension of the f. E.
c. II. Il. to Key West is for the benefit
of Cuba, not Florida.
In the meanwhile / would advise all
who have hankering to come down
here to grow pineapples to keep away
until this matter is eQualized, or 90
to Cuba, where they will find other
wbacks-brand new ones.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-03-28

Here, then. we have the basis of new
valuation which is by no means a
speculative" valuation
In actual practice the result of in
vesting $3.50 in a good pure bred heifer
is very different from that set forth in
this letter, because of the fact that for
fifty years or more good young bulls
have sold for breeding purposes for
more than their value as meat animals
That fact furnishes the basis for be-
lief that this condition of affairs will
continue and the demand in the future
will be for generations greater for the
good pure-bredS than for the grades;
hence the value of the pure-bred will
for this time be higher than that of the
grade. This fact is self-evident.
This $3.50 heifer may produce calf
that at one year old will sell at the
price of the dam, or, to put it as mildly
as possible, at least half the value of
the dam. This gives a very different
air to the computation of profits after
the first investment. Then, there will
occasionally be a heifer in the course
of breeding operations, and if she is
kept in the herd one will eventually
come into a herd of pure -breds. 1t is
not at all unreasonable to expect that
with good care one good COW will pro-
duce you herd Of seventy females in
ten years, allowing you in the mean
time to sell all your bulls with which
to pay running expenses. Your seven
ty cows will at the end of this time be
worth the value of a good quarter
section of land almost anywhere in the
corn belt. OF course in order to do
this the man behind the gun must
know his business, but it has been
done repeatedly.
Then, consider the effect of this
pure-bred herd as compared with the
grades on the owner and his family.
Almost everyone has an Unborn love
for good animal. Let this be cult
waited for few years and one result
will be the development of expert
knowledge relating to the feeding and
breeding of such animals, and it is
just such knowledge as this that forms
the chief corner stone of an indepen-
dent life.

those exceptions. The conditions were

The people of Manatee county have
been talking canning factory for a
long time. The Tampa Times says:
Manatee county is moving in the
direction of canning factory. This
is necessary preliminary to the act
ual establishment of a factory. But
if we be permitted to lip i'm little on
the subject we would say and affirm
that it is about time there was begin
ming to be a cessation to the talk and
Il beginning to the work. So far as
human wisdom goes there is a certain
ty that such factories could be made
to pay all over South Florida, but no
body seems willing to risk the money
necessary to find out for dead GER
tainty. A Yankee who was down
here two years ago said a factory
would pay if it could get the raw
material, but his utmost endeavors
were unequal to the getting of con-
tracts to supply the material. There
may be something like that is wrong
with us.

Canning Factories.

If the surplus fruits and vegetables
grown in this state could be profitably
canned it would be a good thing for
the growers. We have expressed the
opinion that this could not be done On
a large scale. There are exceptions
to all rules, and the fact that the
factory at Delray was operated pro-
fitably, last season, is only one of
