The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1907-01-19

The following letter has been receiv-
ed by the SENTINEL from the Nevada
Commercial League. setting forth the
objects to be worked for by an oreani
cation which has already acquired the
pledged support of a very large m
of the most influential citizans in the
State Of Nevada. This is not only a
movement in the right direction, but
is one which has been properly planned
and which will undoubtedly be carried to
fual success. Nevada is not asking
too much. Its interests cannot be
fostered under the existing exhoroit-
ant railroad demands. The payment
of freight rates under the present sys-
tenn increases the cost of all articles to
such an extent as to make the idea OF
building up this State in population al
most an absurdity. We heartily en-
dorse this movement and believe in Its
beneficial effects. The letter reads as
follows:
Reno, Nevada, Jan. q, l5Vf.
Editor Of the Eureka SENTINEL, Eureka,
Nevada.
Dear Sir: 1t occurs to us from obser'
walton Of recent issues of your paper
that you may want to hear from us,
and talk to our subscribers through the
columns of your paper on the work OF
the Nevada Commercial League. We
now have a splendid organization
formed, with our various committees
at work. Most important among these
committees are those ON Railroads and
Legislation. On these lines our work
is progressing splendidly, but at the
same time l know that nobody appre-
ciates more than yourself the import
ance of every man in the State being
enlisted in the interest of this great
work, which cAnnot be overestimated
as a benefit to the State at large. Our
aim this far has been to solicis each
section with a personal representative,
but unfortunately we have been unable
to call on all of them. and as the Legis-
lature will soon convene, there is too
little time left to spend any of it away
from our office. so that we want to
reach the people through you.
In soliciting this membership. we do
not want our subscribers to overlook
the fact that this campaign IS costing
considerable money. and that when the
battle is fought and won, they will
want to say, 1--WE did it," and not
They did it,"
We have already had overtures made

trate what he called the foresight OF
the 'heathen Chinee:"
Dennis Spencer, a prominent Grim
inal attorney Of Napa. Cal, was the
recipient one day Of a call from a Chi
naman, who without circumlocution at
once put this question:
"S'plose, Mr.. Spencer, one Chinaman
kill mother Chinaman With hatchet.
How much you enlarge make him
clear?"
"Oh," exclaimed the lawyer care
lessly. I'D take the case for $oOO!'
The Chinaman vanished without a
word. In about a week be returned
and laid the sum Of $500 on Mr.. Spen-
GERS desk.
"What's this for?' asked the lawyer.
"You say you take case for $780, ex-
planned the oriental.
A light burst upon Mr.. Spencer. Hor-
rified, he exclaimed:
"You mean to tell me that since ]
saw you last one of your c%ountrymen
has been killed."

Chinaman. Il kill him last night"

to MS which we did not even anticipate
and while this is sufficient encourage
ment, it is simply a notice to Us tna'
the harder we work, and the stronger
we make this organization. the more we
are going to accomplish.
The Hartman interests with practi'
cally 500, 0O0, 900 invested in Salt Lake
City, naturally have their l~ieutenants
at work in that city, striving to invade
Nevada as far az possible with their
goods. and some of the jobbers of that
city have already penetrated the Sta
to its western boundary. San Fran
cleo aud Sacramento are, and v
been, for many years enjoying trade to
the eastern boundary. Los Angeles
and Salt Lake are striving for suprem-
acy in the south. The question that
confronts us all now is, "Are we going
to longer sit idly by aud allow our
selves to be torn to pieces by these
would be b~enefactors, whose only inter-
est in us is the profit they are deriving
through the sale of their wares, or are
we going to demand justice. and trans
act this business within our own ooun'
daries ?" With proper rate conditions
these distributing centers would be in
Nevada where they belong right now.
and the men who are deriving profits
from these distributions would be
paying taxes to the State Of Nevada in
stead of our neighboring States, and
the merchants and consumers OF the
State Of Nevada would be enjoying the
privilege of the better prices they are
entitled to.
Somebody once said, "Do not express
a n opinion unless you perfectly under
stand what you are talking about" We
understand what we are falling aboul
in this, and when l say that. l hope
that includes you and all your subscrib-
ers. We all know that the entire coun-
try is covered al the present time with
the dew of prosperity, and it is simply
up to us to get wet enough right now
to keep us moist through any dspres'
sion that might at any time befall the
country. With rate conditions in this
State as they should be. the hardest
times that can come over the entire
United States, outside of Nevada, can
not effect Nevada. but under existing
conditions Nevada will certainly have
to bear her lot under our periodical
hard times.
Very truly yours,

Political Melange From Carson
Special Correspondent. to The Goldseld Chronicle

Carson City, Nevada. Jan. I2.-There
will likely be some railroad legislation
at the coming session, although the
power that has so long controlled State
affairs in Nevada will make q desperate
effort to head IL of. 1t may be that the
railroads will consent to the passage OF
a meaningless or e~masculated bill. but
the edict has gone out that anything ef'
~fectiye must not be passed. Governor
Sparks has already told his friends that
in his annual message he would recon-
mend some legislation on the railroad
question. and his attitude will mean
considerable against the fight OF the cor
porations.
In fact, it is stated. this legislation
will be about the only radical thing ad-
vocated by the Chief Executive in the
message. The remainder will be de-
voted to platitudes about the wonderful
prosperity and growth of Nevada along
with the required amount Of statistics.
Senator Campbell Of White Pine. 1t is
said, will introduce a bill to abolish
gambling in the State and will make a
hard fight. and try to carry it through
both Houses and put the measure up &c
the Governor. Several other Legislators
have also announced that they expect to
introduce anti-gambling and prizetigh'
bills, and the sports of the State will
likely be called on to spread some OF the
all healing balm before they a return
to their touches in peace, quietude and
contentment.
In an interview yesterday in this city
Lieutenant Governor Dickerson stated
that he was in favor Of radical leg
islation. He thought there ought to be
a law passed making the maximum fare
on railroads 8 cents a mile, and where
i was possible to govern the freight
tariffs. Another question that the

Carson City people are kept busy these
nights jacking their rents and board up

biennial custom Of the town, always ex.
pected and never found wanting.

returned to the State institutions.

tricks just to show the Board he had

carry q big salary, but DIR. Berry. the
incumbent, and who came here from
Hawthorne to annex the job, and DIR. A.

squabble over the place and the men OF
medicine are pulling their respective
strings like old politicians.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, DEVASTATED

Damage Last Monday

Damage Last Monday
New York, Jan. 15.-Kingston, the
picturesque capital of the Island OF ia
maica. has been devastated by a VIC.
lent earthquake which occurred there
at $3.50 Monday afternoon. The cable
office was badly damaged and com
munication on all the lines to Kingston
were instantly interrupted. The shocks
continue. Everybody is camping out
and much distress prevails. Fires
started at Kingston Immediately after
the earthquake.
Details of the disaster are lacking. as
direct communication with the stricken
city has been cut off. The land lines
had been reconstructed to within five
miles of Kingston Tuesday evening. aud
from meager reports received through
such channels as were open, 1t has
been learned that many of the mos
important buildings have been destroy
ed, and that there has been serious los
of life.
So far as the reports indicate, the
fatalities number less than one hundred.
though the hospitals are filled with in
jured and the list of victims may be
materially increased.
Kingston and the other points OF in
terest of the island are at this season
of the year thronged with tourists from
both America and England, and the
greatest apprehension is felt for the
safety of many persons who had recent
ly arrived at the Jamaican resorts.

ports received here from Jamaica say
it is estimated that 1000 persons have
been killed by the earthquake and fire

Money is useless. The banks have

sides is indescribable. Rich and poor
alike are homeless. Provisions of all
kinds are urgently needed. 1t is i'm
possible to say where anybody IA be
found. The dead are being buried un-
der the smoldering ruins. The mer-
camille community suffered most sever
ly, warehouses falling on the people.
The negroes are looting. CHASTITY
scenes are being witnessed. All the
shops have been destroyed and all the
buildings in and around Kington are in
ruins. Very few of them are safe to

bearing fruit. At Springfield. Illinois.

House of the Legislature announced
that during the entire session he would

suasive smile was received with shouts
of approval by the legislators. among
whom sentiment against the lobbyists
is 90 strong this year that they did not
even frown when the Speaker said that
the rule would apply to the wives and
families Of members, as well as to out
