There will be another effort made
within a few days to put bill to
abolish the State Constabulary on
the calandar and the result will be
watched with a good deal Of inter-
est. The Pennsylvania Federation
of Labor held a convention in Har-
risburg last week and not only ex-
pressed its interest in such legisla-
tiou by resolution but did other
| things. One seldom sees a finer
| looking body of men than that con-
vention. The delegates had corns
on their hands, probably, but they
were dressed like bankers and some
of them spoke with the fluency and
correctnessness, of preachers or law
yers.

badges of their organization being
conspicuously displayed. They
didn't create any excitement during
their visit except such as is inevi
table, but their presence in such
force made people sit up and take
notice" They stood in the lobby
and in the space on the floor be-
tween the gallery and the bar and
talked quietly but earnestly to Re-
presentatives III the Legislature.
The Senate was not in session at
the time, more's the pity, but the
incident made a profound impress
ion on the House and if the bill gets
on the calandar something will
drop.
REFORM MEASURES MOVE SLOWLY.
The reform measures which it
was confidently expected would
run like wild FIRE " through the
Legislature, are making slow pro-
gress instead. The two-cent mile
passenger rate bill which passed
the House just before the Spring
election recess has been reported
from the Senate committee with an
amendment which further weakens
it. That is to say asit passed the
House imprisonment Of officials of
the railroad was one of the penalties
for the violation of the law. That
feature has been stricken from the
measure. Everybody knows that
powerful corporations don't care
much for fines but their officers
have a wholesome dread of i'm
prisonment.
The bill giving trolley roads the
right of eminent domain got a bump
on Thursday. 1t was recommitted
for general amendment. 1t needed
some alterations and if the action
was taken in good faith there may
be no loss either in time or any other
way by the action. But those of
US who have watched the various
processes of sitting legislation in
variably take recommittal as an
omen of death by strangulation.
The friends of the legislation in
question may prevent that result,
if it is intended, by vigilance and
courage and it is absolutely certain
that both will be required.

A FOOLS ERRAND

The latest development in connection with the matter of ncorpora-
ton is the journey to Carson, of a selfappointed delegation of four to
fight the passage of the measure, demanded by 500 out of LOO voters
and taxpayers Just what their argument will be is not a S yet known,
hut the task of convincing the legislators that the people of Tonopah are
against incorporation should be a difficult one, when it is considered
that 500 out of LOO voters and taxpayers have signifed their wishes
in favor of the measure. This selfappointed committee does present
a rather ludnrous side One of the members lives over 200 miles from
that might suffer if Tonopah was incorporated. A third had previously
acted is though he was in favor of the move. Fourth and last is a
member of the County Commission who probably disnkes to be par
TALLY shorn of the perogatves that he now enjoys, but which he is APP
parenty unable to exercise. This is indeed a formidable array and if
their influence is felt it will be nothing short of a miracle.
There action certainly admits of a dictatortal appearance, but at
that they should have no weight if the Legislators are disposed to
comply with the will of the majority. How strongly during the past
mediate remedy What a crying disgrace is the condition of our streets
Deep, sticky mud that it is practically impossible to avoid owing to
the absence of walks and crosswalks. This thick coating of mud is
carried into every home and every germ that may possibly be at large.
How a a single individual who has a single grain of loyalty for his
city oppose a measure that has for its object the betterment of such
who desires to serve a people, who he is sworn to protect, can posi-
bly, fail to vote for a measure that is obviously for the common well
fare of the people of Tonopah. Theirs is a solemn duty to perform
and the people who honored them and trusted them with their conf
that obligation which they assumed when accepting the office to which
they we're elected by the suffrage of the people. Weak opposition
should have no bearing upon the matter especially when springng from
a few disgrunted and selfish people. The people of Tonopah have
spoken and for the Legislature to fail to pass the bill will mean that
they have conveyed 500 voters out of LOO that cast their ballots for
those who are their betrayers. 1t cannot be possible and we refuse
to consider it that those men who have taken upon themselves a
solemn pledge, will at the crucial moment disregard the will of the ma
jomty and fail to pass a measure that the majority demand and which
every law of nature makes imperative. We are anxiousy awaiting the
hour when W e IAN proclaim the success of the measure and record the
fact that the legislators of our state have been faithful to their trust
The will of the majority is mighty and will prevail, We venture the
opinion that before many days have passed the manhood of the legs-
laors at Carson will have asserted itself and the City of Tonopah will
be a welcome reality.

MISS KIRBY DIES
OF PNEUMONIA
PROPRIETRESS OF THE VALLEY
VIEW SUCCUMBED YESTER-
DAY MORNING.

After an illness of six weeks, Miss
S. A. Kirby, the proprietress of the
Valley View Hotel on upper Main
street, died yesterday morning at
3:10 o'clock, The cause of her death
was typhoid-pneumonia resulting
from a cold incurred on an auto
trip to Blair. She was about 40
years of age, Her parents are resi-
dents of Madrone, Cal. Through
some irresponsible persons the re-
port gained currency that Miss Kirby
had committed suicide, and the fact
that several pistol shots were heard
Wednesday night was cited as being
most significant. The absolute abb
surdity Of the rumor is best er-
planned when it is pointed out that
the shot were fred about II 80
o'clock in the evening, whereas Miss
Kirby did not die until after 3
O'Clock IN the morning. The body
viii be held until the arrival Of a
brother Of Miss Kirby when the de-
tails Of the funeral will be arranged.

ORE SAMPLING
WORKS AT HAZEN

FAIRVIEW, Feb. 21.-A large
ore sampling works is being estab-
lished at Hazen by the Nevada Ore
Sampling Company and will be in
operation in a short time. Salt Lake
and Eastern people are at the head
Of the company and are now erecting
the plant which will be one Of the
most complete in the West. 1t is the
only Independent ore sampling con
Germ in the state and all the ore
handled by the company will be
bought, sampled and paid for at
Hazen,
The new sampling works will be
a boon to the Fairyiew and Wonder
districts as well as the southern
camps as it will enable the shippers
to get returns for their ore many
DAYS sooner than they are now able
to do by shipping to Salt Lake and
San Francisco. The plant will be
made large enough to handle easily
all the ore that is sent through
Hazen. which is a majority Of that
produced in the state.
The business is being handled by
r. b. Smith, who has been connected
with similar companies in eastern
Oregon for some time past. Smith
was in Fairview and Wonder last
week and secured considerable bust
ness for his company. After sam
ping the company will ship its or,

CONGRATULATIONS

1t now seems certain that the bin for the Incorporation of Tonopah
will pass and that it will be but a short time before this community will
take it's place among the cities of the country. 1t is a goal for which
it has long sriven and in its realization a distinct feeling of pleasure
is experienced. 1t will near much to the people of Tonopah and will
have the e1evating influence of identifying the city a we'll as ahording
the more substantial blessing of clean streets and many sidewalks. The
sewerage system will be brought within the use of all and water will
drop from a luxury to a basis that will make it assume that position
of an every day necessity, An effective scavenger service will be pos
sble and a modern fire department can be established. Our residential
streets will be laid out along definite lines and the houses systematic
ally numbered and in time will come the establishment of a postal de-
livery. Our police department will be raised to the highest possible
standard and in fact the people of Tonopah will begin to live in accord
ance with modern civilization. 1t is indeed a sweet pleasure to dwell
upon tho blessings soon to be realized and to picture in N minds the
visions of the modern Tonopah. Already a keen anticipation of the
things that are to be creeps over us and a desire to experience the new
conditions wells up in al frrepressibe earnestness. From the day that
jim Butler picked up the stone to hul at his burro Tonopah was des-
tined to be famous, and that fame is to be even more disseminated by
the fact that our city is soon to attain that individuality which it so
Justly deserves. 1t is indeed a moment for congratulations.

new COMPANY
FOR TONOPAH
SAN JOSE CAPITALIST TO OP-
ERATE GROUP OF
CLAIMS.

A deal in Tonopah mining prop
erty was recently completed which
promises to be most important. Mr..
A. f. Eaton, Of the firm of Eaton
& Co. of San Jose, came TO Tono-
pah at the solicitation Of c, f. Rey-
nolds, who he met in San Jose. He
was so much impressed with Ton
opah and its mines that he looked
around to see If he could not pur-
chase some property here. After q
careful examination Of the several
properties he finally concluded to
purchase the Boguero group of eight
claims adjoining the Midway EXten-
sion on the north and west and the
sale was made. The sellers were
John Rost and John Wagner. Mr.
Eaton, who represents strong Cali
fornia capitalists, is also engaged in
mining in Sierra County. California.
He is an exceptionally bright mining
man, and has promoted several large
Cripple Creek properties as well as
having handled a number of impor-
tant leases in Colorado. On his re-
cent visit he inspected the leading
mines of the camp and 1t was as
a result of what he saw that his de-
termination to buy here was reached.
He has plenty Of capital back OF him
and will prove a most valuable ac-
QUESTION to the camp.
1t is his intention to organize a
company within the next ten days,
which will probably be known as the
Tonopah First National. The officers
and directors, It is believed, will all
be San Jose men. Considerable
money will at once be spent in sink.
ing on the Boguero group and the
ground otherwise developed. It Is
expected that as soon after the com.
pany Is organized as Is possible the
stock will be listed on the San Fran,
cisco Exchange.
