WEALTH ON INCREASE
Assessed Valuation for the Year
1907 is $4,000 Greater than
for Preceding Year

Stearns county is rich.
Better than that, the country is
growing richer every day.
The assessed valuation for the year
1907 amounts to 3,5OS,129. This is
an increase of $4,000 over the valu-
alton for the preceding year.
These figures are shown by the Of

tres valuation is s903, ,537; Melrose is
put down at 1864, Cos These figures
include both real and personal prop

Of the various townships, Maine
Prairie has the highest assessment, the

PLENTY OF BUSINESS
All That is Necessary to Do is
to Stop Growing and Go
After it Hard

Apropos of existing financial con-
ditions the following letter, recently
issued by one of the leading manu-
facturers OF the country, makes good
reading:
The Big NOISE" now is the fl
nancial situation" Folks are going
about with faces as long as the un-
dertaker's at rich mans funeral,
saying, what do you think of the fl
nancial situation and expecting
everybody to weep in sympathy.
Now, as necessary as the financial
situation" is to the business system,
the business system of this country
is strong enough that if business"
will just keep it's wits it will bring
the Financial situation along like
father leads a scared child soothingly
to bed.
New York got scared and locked it
self in the house and shouted hyster-
ical alarm from the the upstairs WIN
ows until the timid were infected with
the fright and have run crying to
their own shelters. What's the use:
There is not manufactures in the
country who has exhibited any enter
prise in getting business that has his
orders filled as he should have them
at this time of the year. There is no
less business in the country than
there was two weeks ago. Labor is
earning just as much as it did two
weeks ago. Good banks are as as
sound as ever.
The business situation was never SO
GOOD and the only hard times we need
experience are the hard times to fill
orders, if everybody will just cheer
up and go on with their legitimate
business instead of letting themselves
become scared by timid TOmmys
howls of alarm. Doubtless it is not
a tiger but only old pussy suffering
from too much canary. Cheer up!
Get busy!

EASTERN WOMEN

FIR. Art Writes fntertdiningly of
the Feminine Sex and Their
CirCumsCribed Lives

The European or American travel
er landing at any point in the East
i, struck by the curious way in which
women are dressed, writes Fr. Arzt,
in his last letter to The Herald. In
the house the woman wears large
pantaloons, as is the fashion of the
modern female bicyclist, but they are
made of very light printed cotton and
reach 10 the ankles. There is a
short dress worn over this, and
waistcoat, often richly embroidered,
with tight sleeves, whilst handker-
chief is carelessly thrown over the
head, ever ready to be pulled over the
face should a man appear.
Always barefooted, the townswomars
has wooden clogs with two supports
under the soles varying from 3 to
inches high. The clogs are adorned
with inla.d mother-of- pearl in circles
triangles or squares. The toes of the
feet and the nails of the hands of
lie women are stained with henna,
which tie pilgrims always bring home
with them from Mecca for their wives
and children. The palms of the
hands are also colored brown in SYM
metrical lines.
The hair over all the face and body
is shaved or burnt. excepting the hair
Of the head The place where the
eyebrows have been is painted black,
as we'll as the eyelashes The cheeks
are painted faint red, and the hair
is dyed brown.
In the afternoon two or three hours
are spent out of doors, and it is here

thrown over the head and body, very
neatly folded. The face is covered
with a thick colored veil so that the
face of woman can never be seen,
whilst she can see everything.
They may. be seen in groups of
three or more moving slowly towards
down either arotind the grave of Il
G' Earted relative, or along the road
side to look at passerby, and uncon-
about themselves, their neighbors or
the public.
The family life of the woman is re-
stricted to women's society. for the
husband, be he an official or "a busi-
hess man, is always away from his
own women folk. AT the age of ten
or twelve the girl begins to veil her
face, never again to show herself rec

unveiled faces.

Entertainment BY SCHOOL

Arrangements are being perfected for
a school entertainment to take place in
Owl hall OH the evening of December 20
At the present time the school fund in
this particular district is somewhat be-
low par. 1t is proposed, therefore, to re-
plenish the same with funds to be de-
rived from the entertainment.
One of the featuresof the program
will be the presentation of that most
laughable farce, The Country School
master, = in the caste of which will APP
pear local talent of high order. Other
numbers will go to make up All evening
of genuine pleasure, to be followed by a
jolly, good dance.
Tickets for the entertainment are now
in the hands of the printer and will be
ready for distribution within day or
so. The cause is a most worthy one, in
view of which fact every one should help
it along. Get ticket. Attend the
show. You are guaranteed value re-
ceived with liberal interest.

IsH is PINCKED in THE
BANK TIE-UP
Are the Ish fortunes on the wane2

Are the Ish fortunes on the wane?
That is the question agitating the
minds of many people III this district
Some are inclined to the theory that the
stock slump attendant upon the recent
labor troubles in Goldfield had the effect
OF scattering the wealth of the Ish
brothers to an unrecoverable extent
Others of more optimistic turn of
mind are of the opinion that the money
of the successful operators is simply
tied up as are the fortunes of manyothers
at the present time. In support of the
latter theory it is stated that immedi-
ately prior TO the closing of the doors of
the State Bank and Trust company the
lsh money was transferred to that in
stitution from the John S. Cook bank,
Several months since, Ish and associ-
ates became heavily, interested i'll the
Yerington district. Beside acquiring
many acres of mining property, they
organized what is known as the Nevada
Registration and Trust company, an or
ganization having for its object a gen
eral banking business in the city of Yer
ington. The fixtures for the new bank
are all i'll place tire books there; III fact
everything III readiness to throw the
doors open as soon as the necessary coin
is supplied The doors have remained
closed tor reasons unknown to all save
The lsll brothers and their associates.
Perhaps their best acquisition, the
Gallagher mine, lies idle. There are
other payments to be made on this prop
erty as well as the annual assessment
work to be accomplished In the par
lance of the street there seems to be
nothing stirring
Yerington hopes that the Ishes are
out OF the mire.. They are good people
lor any community and will, If un-
hampered by financial troubles, make
themselves felt.

Whatever else the effect OF the money
stringency upon Yerington, it has not
vet made itself felt in the building trades.

PLENTY OF FUNDS TO.
PROSECUTE WORK
VIGOROUSLY

Frank +. Cook of Salt Laka City. one
of the heaviest shareholders in the West
err Nevada, arrived in Yerinpton Mon
day evening last for the purpose of in
specting the property. ht
Mr. Cook, at this writing, is still at
the property, consequently the impress
sion made upon him is not for our read
ers of this issue.
Speaking of conditions generally. Mr..
Cook said he believed the money tight
ness would last but short time. He
says there are in the neighborhood of
$500, 900 of western money tie1 up III
eastern banks, which of necessity makes
times somewhat slow OH this coast.
II believe, though, +" said Mr.. Cook,
that it is an experience by which the
people of the west will greatly profit in
the long run. 1t will mean that our
money will hereafter repcse where it
should in the west. OF course. it will
be necessary to keep certain sums i'll the
eastern banks for purposes of exchange,
bat tile great bulk will remain nearer
home =
So far as the Western Nevada is par
ticularly concerned, Mr.. Cook volun
teered the information that the company
has ample funds with which to prosecute
development vigorously. The property
has shown wonderful Improvements of
late and now ranks with the best hold
ings in the district. Mr.. Cook will prob
ably return to Salt Lake today.

eslurium Found
On the Shirley c
AT Mountain View

From Mountain View comes the very
cheering news that tellurium ore has
been uncovered on the Shirley c claim,
adjoining the estate of the Wilson Gold
Mines company.
Thad Hoppin, who is one of the own
ers of the former property, arrived III
Yerington Wednesday from the mines.
With him he brought some of the ore
which is undoubtedly of the character
reported. A peculiar feature is the fact
that it was uncovered but a few feet
beneath the surface while doing annual
assessment work Tellurium, as a rule,
rarely occurs near the surface. However
as that may be- there is no question but
what the ore is of the identical nature as
that being extracted i'll many of the
Goldfeld properties. Here be it said
that the formation of the country i'll the
Mountain View district is the same as
occurs in Goldheld. The strike means
that extensive development VIII ellSue
which will likely prove the Shirley c a
big proposition.
In the main working shaft OF the
Wilson Gold Mines company, now down
SO feet, the ledge is as wide as the shaft
and every inch of it ore of milling
grade. High-grade seams occur IN the
main vein carrying values up to a ship
ping grade, the free gold impregnatlng
the houeycomb quartz
The company is working the estate III
thoroughly business like and system
attic manner. Those i'll charge are hope
full of opening up big body OF high
grade at further depth.

Nevada S railroad mileage at the close
of 1906 stood the same as that of Idaho
1851 miles and in advance of Wyom-
ing, Maryland, District of Columbia
New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut
Delaware and Rhode Island, The new
lines now contemplated there will place
it about equal to Maine and Massachu-
setts, with their 2136 and 2107 miles, re-
spectively. The adjoining State of Cal
ifornia has 63S5 miles, largely due to the
States remarkable mining activity, now
overshadowed by Nevada.
The railroad activities of Nevada are
perhaps greater than those of any other
State in the Union AS matter of fact
the majority of States are at standstill
on railroad mileage, new construction
being practically nil.
And, looking over the entire field, the
Yerington district stands the best chance
of getting several new competing rail-
roads of any section. Ely is assured
four or five roads and already has one,
but so exceptional are the typographical
