[Mr. voyant, perhaps the best known
and most celebrated prognostlcator OF
coming events in the United States, has
located in Yerington. Visions OF the

"calI the turn. A few evenings since
there appeared before him in his SUM
bers picture of the Lyon County Times
as it would appear ten years hence, the
exact date being the issue OF july 3,
1917. Some of the items he saw IN Its
pages are produced below. Ed.
The Director of the Mint is authority
for the statement that the output OF the
Yerington district will next year reach
a sum in the neighborhood of $40, 00O, OOO.

A street car collision occurred last
evening at the corner of Bridge and

car were severely injured, while Miss
Gladys Kapoobler suffered the loss of

the negligence of the company's en-

The basis of such railroad is the con-
struction of a smelter by the Nevada
Douglass Copper company at Yerington,
which is considered certainty. 1t is
estimated that Fairview ores could be
treated at Yerington at a total cost OF
IS. so per ton, including transportation,
which would mean saving of about $50
per ton to the operators of the district
There is no doubt that such a railroad
project is entirely feasible, and 1t is
most interesting as probable solution
of the transportation problem confront
ing this camp as a last resort. How
ever, it is known that the Southern
Pacific is undertaking to look after the
question of transportation for this dis
trict and its officials are not asleep; on
the contrary, they are wide awake to the
situation Nevertheless this new prop
osition of connecting Fairview and Yer
ington is extremely interesting for the
reason that it is project that could be
undertaken by any mining company,
such as the Nevada Hills, Fairview
Eagle or Nevada Fairview, if such be-
comes necessary, and for the further
reason that it leaves no doubt about the
ultimate handling of $40 and $50 ore
produced here.
Were such road and smelter in OPP
Grafton at this time the Nevada Fair
view mine would today be shipping
enormously and its stock would be soar
ing far above par, for it has, in addition
to much high grade in sight, an enor-
nous tonnage of $50 ore already blocked
out.
smelter at Yerington would set this
camp forward wonderfully.

MORN|NCSTAR CAMP IS
BUILDING UP

Mcrningstar is fast becoming real
live lining camp. A mercantile estab-
lishment, saloon building and restaurant
are now tn course of construction, while
the townsite company has completed
new Office building. Numerous tents
have been pitched there during the past
few days and all in all Morningstar is
now on the map to stay.
Harris brothers, promoters of the
Morningstar townsite, were in Yerington
few days since. In an interview with
a Times man they spoke very encourag-
ingly of Morningstar' prospects. A
letter was shown the writer from Los
Angeles capitalists in which they asked
for reservation of several corner lots.
The missile stated that before long a
bank building would be started on one
of the lots and on another 58-room
lodging house.
Outside capital is taking kindly to
Morningstar as one of the future towns
of the Yerington district. OF course,
the more it grows the greater will Yer
ington benefit thereby.
Travel to the town is increasing stead
lily. 1t is located but four miles from
Buckskin and within a few minutes
walk to the Douglass and Ludwig
properties.

yOM HA-K|PPUR|M
 AT0NEMENT DAY at3 4 Another Important Holiday in the Jewish Calendar Will Be Fittingly Observ- ed Wednesday
IS DAY OF FASTING
Function of the Day Is to Awaken X
 Sense of Sin in the IndividuaI-.Sue.
 cial Services at Temple-Stores Will Be Closed. =, |

Another important holiday is to be observed by the Jewish people throughout the world, and especial ly in Pine Bluff, the coming week. It falls on Wednesday, beginning at sundown Tuesday evening and continuing until sundown the fol- lowing day. It is one of the oldest holidays in the Jewish calendar. The day is known as Tom Ha-Kip- purim, but popularly called Tom kippur, or the Day of Atonement.
 The function of the day is to- awaken the sense of sin in the in dividual so that he may be led to repentance and consequent recon struction of his life. It is day when each person searches deep in to the very remotest researches of his soul life, in order to discover his shortcomings and his failures to live up to his ideals.
 The holy day is observed by fast ing throughout the whole twenty four hours and this fasting. ac. cording to the modern reform inter- pretation, is not ritualistic matter. but means to heighten the signi- 1cance of the day The day is commonly spent at the Synagogue in solemn services.
 Tom kippur is of biblical origin and has continu.d and even 1n- creased in it's power in Jewish re- lgious life until at the present day it vies with Rosh Hashona for first place among the sacred days of the Jewish calendar.
 In Pine Bluff, as elsewhere, the stores of the Jewish merchants are closed throughout the day. Ser vices will be held at the Temple, Tuesday evening at 7:3O o'clock by Rabbi Frisch. His sermon will be announced later, as will also the program for Yom Kippur day. The services Wednesday morning will begin at 10 o'clock and will con- tinue throughout the day with the exception of a recess, which will be had at the noon hour and continue until 2 o'clock. At 1 o'clock, dur ing the recess, a special childrens' l service will be held. It will con- tinue about one hour and is new departure in the Tom Kippur ser vices. The musical program for the days will be of unusual excellence.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Sept, IA, 1907. To The Editor of The Graphic,
~l f, !lxs1,|T' l ..s.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Sept, IA, 1907. To The Editor of The Graphic,
 Dear Sir:-I noticed a communi- cation in your paper of the 18th, inst, signed by w. M. Toney and
 seven other citizens of the town, over which appeared the headline, Sacrifice Trees For Improvement" /" I think the article may be some what misleading to your readers, especially as the opening sentence of the article would indicate that it
 was signed by all of the owners of property in the territory embraced in what is known as Sidewalk Dis. trict No. 1 the opening sentence of said article being in part as fol- lows:
 We, the undersigned citizens and property owners composing what is known as Sidewalk District No. 1, of the City of Pine Bluff "
 The writer of the article may possibly have thought that all of the property owners in the district agreed with the view expressed and would sign the article, but if this was the thought it was certainly a mistake. It seems also to be in tlmated in the communication referred to that all the prop erty owners in the district were willing to sacrifice their shade trees in order to make the improve ment just as planned by the organ izers of the movement, and that the effort to have the shade trees saved and the suggestions along that line
 were coming altogether from per sons who owned property in the district and who had no special in terest therein. To show that this idea was a mistaken one I respect fully request that you publish in your paper the accompanying two petitions together with the names signed to them It will be seen from one of these petitions that a great number of the owners of ! property in the district have peti- tioned the council to save the shade trees, and from the other petition that my mother, Mrs. Eliza Hol- combe, and her daughters have pe- tltioned the council for leave to grade the sidewalk and lower the trees at their own expense in order to save them, only asking that the work may be delayed sufficiently late in the season to permit the moving of the trees without destroy ing them. The last petit:an was presented along with the first with the request that it be granted ic
 case the first petition could not pc. In response to these petitions the City Council at it's last meeting very
 kindly and wisely passed (, resolu tion allowing the property owlars
 time and opportunity to move and l save the trees, but the Mayor has
 vetoed the resolution !t r3na;rs to be seen what the Council, will do
 at it's next meet;rv We sincei ely hope that in theic w:;Gocl they will 1 arrange in some way to allow us to save our shade trees
 Yours Truly
 Sarah Byrd l To The Honorable City Council of The City Of Pine Bluff.
 We, the undersigned citizens of Pine Bluff, being owners of real 1 property on Walnut street and
 Olive street in the territory that
 has been designated as Sidewalk District No. 1, believing the shade
 trees add greatly to the beauty and comfort of that part of any resi-
 dence portion of the city in which they are grown do respectfully pe-
