There is nothing that will kill a
city which is just beginning its
existence so dead as a high
license. This is the testimony of
all camps in the State, or in any
other State, and we hope that the
City Council will see fit to act
favorably on the suggestion of the
Chamber of Commerce and annul
the license ordinance referred to-
We take it that no one will
question our fealty to the city in
which we have chosen to cast our
lot. The matter is one of great
importance to us, as all we possess
is invested here and we do not de-
sire to see our property decrease
in valuation instead of increase,
as it naturally will under wise
administration, or if left entirely
alone.
The TINES has predicted many
things that have come to pass in
this district during the past six
years; take our word for it that

INVITING DISASTER.

Yerington is in need of fire pro-
lection. There is nothing to pre-
vent the town from being wiped
off of the map if blaze should
get any kind of start, especially
on a windy day The best that
we have in the way OF any organ
ization is bucket brigade made up
of everybody who happens to be
on hand when fire starts. This
is bad state of affairs for a city
of our size. We are growing quite
rapidly now and hope to continue
to grow, but we must have some
protection against fire to offer to
the people who desire to come
here and invest their money in
home and business enterprises.
The town is now building up
principally of wooden houses so
that with every building con-
structed makes it just SO much
more dangerous for the entire
community. The Yerington Wa
ter Company is planning to get its
system into the city as soon as
possible, >but it will not be able to
do so much before the first of Sep
TENDER. This company has now
ordered over three miles of piping,
large pump and motor and made
arrangements to take power from
the Truckee River General Elec-
trio Co. as soon as the pipe line is
laid. Beside having power from
motor the company will also
have powerful gasoline engine
to fall back on if at any time the
electric power should go wrong.
1t is fortunate that no serious fire
has started in the city, and it is to
be hoped that none will start until
the company gets its pipes in and
the city gets hydrants and fire
plugs in sufficient number to allow
of several streams being thrown
on a blaze quickly and at the
same time.
A water system which would do
good service in case of fire would
materially decrease the cost of in
surance to every business man in
the city, and we hope to see the
city fathers give us this fire pro-
lection at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

ORDINANCE NO. 8.

The City Council passed up for
publication last week license or
dinance which is obnoxious in
many ways to the taxpayers and
business men of the city. This is
ordinance No. 8. That the ordi-
nance is obnoxious is evidenced
by the fact that the Chamber of
Commerce held meeting on last
Monday night, just as soon as pos
sible after the ordinance had been
published, and by a unanimous
vote requested the Council to re-
scind the ordinance or annul it in
some way. 1t has not been shown
that the city needs any such
amount of money as it proposed
to raise by this ordinance. and,
furthermore, if the city did need
such sum. it should have been
raised in a manner that would
have placed the burden equally
upon all instead of making certain
classes of business stand the brunt
of the taxation.
There is a splendid chance to
make of Yerington one of the fin
est cities in Nevada. The location
of the city is good and there is
every advantage here. We have
some beautiful shade trees that at
tract the admiration of everybody
who comes to the camp; we have
a good location for drainage and a
sewer system. and a chance to get
as good water as can be had any
where in the State; the town is
almost in the center of the finest
agricultural districts in the State
and we are close enough to the
mines to be within easy reach. A
railroad will undoubtedly come
close to our door before many
more months have passed, and un-
der natural conditions there is no
reason why we should not have a
good steady growth in the next
few wears that will make of Yer
ington a city of from 5000 to 5000
people. To do this, however, we
must all pull together and offer
the new conner who has money to
invest, every inducement, and
there must be no strings attached
to the inducement. There are
conditions lowering around that
will be very detrimental to the
city if they once get to moving,
and one of these conditions is the
starting of another town in the
immediate vicinity of this place
which would divide the business
between the two and make of
neither city of importance. To
make one good city should be the
aim of all of the property holders
of this place as we'll as the aim of
the City Council We do not
mean to insinuate that the Mayor
or any of the Councilmen have
any interest in the building up of
any town other than the city of
Yerington, but to do this there
should be no obstacles placed in
the way of those who desire to
come here TO locate and spend
their money in helping us build
the city. We cannot afford to keep
anybody out at the present time;
the door should be wide open for
all corners and when the time
comes that we need prohibitive
ordinances they can easily enough
be passed.
Already the news has gone
abroad that Yerington is high
license town and we know of a
few who were contemplating To-
eating here who will not do SO
until thew are assured I'll at the or

MIDNIGHT BLAZE
BURNS TWO BARNS
Fire at Paradise Destroys $4,000 Worth
OF Attempted Arson at
Enterprise

Two barns owned by Willis G.. Straley,
the Paradise storekeeper, were bufhed
about midnight, Monday, together with
$1,000 worth of hay, some machinery,
and buggy, all the property of Mr..
Straley; two horses, harness and rig
owned by E. w. Southwick, the Wal
Iowa stage driver. The total loss is
at least $4,000; insurance only $1,000.
One OF the barns was new struct ure
and the largest and best in the north
country. 1t cannot be replaced for less
than $500. The other was an old log
building. The fire is believed to have
been of incendiary:origin as it started
in the lower unused corner of the log
barn.
Mr.. Straley was in Lewiston at the
time of the fire. His neighbors worked
hard and helped by a favoring wind
saved the store. One of the stage
horses was cremated and the other was
burned so badly before it got out that
it will die.

Fine Range On
Lower Imfsf

Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Vest will leave
in few weeks for their cattle ranch
on the Imnaha where they will spend
the winter, which will seem less long
and lonely than heretofore as now
there is weekly mail delivery down
the river 10 miles from the bridge.
The mail route is locally known as
the Lightning mail route, not from
any unusual celerityin its delivery
but because its northern terminus is
the mouth of Lightning creek. Mr..
Vest sent in $500 pounds of supplies
and horse feed Tuesday. They will
help beguile the long winter nights by
reading the News.Record each week.
The range in that country is lux
uriant and nutritious almost the cold
season through. Last winter Mr.. Vest
fed his cattle only 5 days and the
winter before only 10 days. Among
the we'll known cattlemen who will
have stock this winter along the lower
Imnaha, Lightning ;nd Cow creeks and
other tributaries, are Mr.. Vest, G. G.
Holmes, Logan Mccormick, G. F.
Graves and j. M. Blakely Of Enterprise;

Splendid Fruit
at Lostine Fair

The fruit and fancy work exhibits
were the successes of the county fair at
Lostine last week. The fruit surprised
even those best acquainted with the
possibilities of Wallowa's soil and eli
mate. There were apples, peaches,
prunes and plums of splendid quality
not only from the Imnaha but from this
valley. The fruit tree agent in charge
acted boorishly in refusing to allow a
photograph taken OF the exhibit that
was to be used as an illustrationin the
advertising pamphlet gotten out by the
county court.
The live stock exhibit was a disap-
pointment in r umbers, but the horses
and cattle shown were fine animals.
McDonald's peerless Clyde, Whitmore's
and Allen & Eades' Percherons, year
ling Percheron owned by Fred Fitz-
patrick, and the German Coach horse
from Wallowa were all splendid stall
lions. l.. p. McCubbin's two Percheron
mares were voted by many horsemen
the largest and bestl for age ever seen.
He also walked away with the blue rib
bon on splendid Jersey bull. VIC.
Dorrance, George Craig and the Fitz-
patricks exhibited Hereford bulls. Ell
liott's and Makin's jacks were shown.
The sheep exhibit was not represen-
tative and swine were conspicuous by
their absence. The race entries were
few but those run furnished exciting
| sport. .....,....... ..........
The e, bit hall receipts on Enter
prise day were about $3.50 and OH
Wallowa day less than one-third OF that
amount.
The Lostine people worked hard for
the success of the fair, entertained hos
pitably and are not responsible for the
small number of exhibitors in the live
stock department.

crush work on the grading; it must
be completed by December 81, for the
steel gangs are crowding u.s." That's
the message from the representatives
of Erickson & Peterson, who have the
contract for the railroad grading, to
John E. Patterson, sub-contractor for
the depot grounds and the 211a miles of
unfinished grade from Enterprise north.
Mr.. Patterson was sent for Monday
to meet Superintendent Jeffries and
Assistant McManus at the camp on
Sheahan's place and sign his contract.
They impressed on him the necessity
for rush work. The temporary bridge
over the Looking Glass is finished and
the rails are laid down the Grande
Ronde to opposite the mouth of the
Wallowa. Rails and ties are on hand
to rush the laying of the track up the
canyon as soon as the bridge across the
Grande Ronde is finished, which will be
in about six weeks or by December l.
All grading is done except the 2H miles
north of Enterprise, the fill at Wade's,
and two short stretches between LostIne
and Wallowa. Gangs are at work on
the last three places now and Mr.. Pat
terson wihi-iTave force at work in a
few days. He will use local labor if
possible. Mr.. Patterson was told the
rails up the valley would be laid as
soon as the grading was done. He be-
lieves track will be down inside the
county before January l, and completed
to Joseph early in February.
D., Engineer r. 1. Long confirms the
good news of rush work. He says the
track will be laid as far as Wallowa by
New Years. It is expected mile day
will be put down this side the Grande

The County High School
There is nothing to which our people
should point with more pride than to-
ward our schools. There is no one
thing of more Importance to the public
in general than the education of the
rising generation. Taking these facts
into consideration every citizen should
feel morally bound to manifest an in

factor in bringing about higher school
standard and more proficient school
work.
This is an age when an education is
essential public and private affairs 1e-
mand it. The boy or girl that goes out
into the world without having at least
acquired the fundamental principles of
the common school branches is deprived
of that which affords the greatest oppor-
tunities and assures succ ess in life II

judgment.
We should not be contented TO stop
with good common schools but should
be anxious iot our children to have the
