This is a season of the year when sentimental mother appears at the school house with her sissy boy and tells the teacher he is very high spirited, and must not be whipped; that he can be ruled
 by kindness and kisses. And this is the time of year when the

The teacher who takes the pen cil from a child's hands, to work out problem for him, does that child a grave injustice. The teacher should instruct, but the child should do the work. We know and remember how to do a thing only by doing it. We be- come strong only by self-assertion and self-dependence.

A friend at our elbow suggests that the best way to head off the mail order houses is for the local merchant to advertise literally and get the trade themselves. All of the successful mail order houses are heavy advertisers and if they can make it pay why not the local merchant.

us. Count me in for anything that

to pull out all right. The future is
assured by the tons of milling ore in

ment which has been started is GER

glad to aid it in any way possible.

our company can do to advance the
movement, command us. There is
always an auto at the disposal of the
press on any occasion when it is re-
quired to boost Manhattan 1t will
be pleasure to me to repeat this at
the meeting.
Harry Epstine-I will be at the
meeting, sure. The movement is the
best kind of thing, both for Tono-
pah and for Manhattan. SO far from
it being premature, it should have
been done long ago. If we show that
we have faith in ourselves, we are

TELEGRAPHERS TO
Vote ON STRIKE
IBy Associated Press. ]

DENVER, Oct. 15.-In a state
ment to the public, issued today,
President Charles H. Schlacks
of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
gives the reasons for the company's
final refusal to reinstate on demand
of the Order of Railway Telegraph
ers, Operator r. H. Skeggs, who was
discharged September 21st for refus-
ing to test the Western Union wires
at Grand Junction, Colo. Skeggs'
action, Schlacks says was in violation
of the railroad company's obligation
to the Western Union Company, and
his refusal to obey the order of his
superior officers was destructive of
discipline. A call for a referendum
vote of the operators employed on
the Denver & Rio Grande on the
question of striking as result of
.Vice-President Schlacks' decision,
was sent out tonight

started right, let us continue to be
right. A meeting like that of to-
morrow night will be sure to be pro-
life of many ideas, out of which we
can evolve plan of action that will
bring the capital into this country.
That is all We need; we have the
mines, We want the money to develop
them.
r. P. Dunlap-Anything like this
movement, judiciously handled, can
not help being of the greatest benefit
to Manhattan and to Tonopah. We
do not want to let our enthusiasm
run away with us, but let us get down
to thoroughly well defined plan OF
action, and we cannot help winning

have been made at better time. By

Charles keilhofer-The move is
splendid one, and it is coming just
at the right time. 1t will help not
only Manhattan, in which all Tono-
pah is interested, but 1t will help us
here, and the camps right close to us.
The talk about there being no money
to be had is all rot. There is lots of
1t. and to prove it, | can say that
there is considerable going on in
Goldreef, which is eight miles from
here. You can always get capital
for the right kind of proposition,
and the time is always ripe. The
movement is all right.
Ray Baker-I am sorry that can

plification of this than Ubehebe.
James Skelton-The movement has
had the right start. and it is beyond
stopping. The last two meetings,
the one here and that of last night
at Manhattan, show that the spirit OF
the people has been aroused, ami
that they are going right through
with the movement. Once get the

There is no doubt in the world that
If everybody gets to work in earnest,

of an advertising campaign That
the movement just started is going
to be grand success cannot be
doubted when the following express
sions of opinion are read. They were
picked up at random by representa-
tives of the Bonanza, who asked a
number of people if they were going
to be present at the meeting tonight
Nearly everyone answered in the af-
firmative, and gave his reasons Here
are some of those who are going to
be present, and their opinions of the
movement:
John Salsberry, the copper king of
the Ubehebe--I was not at the prev
ious meeting, but | certainly shall be
at that of tomorrow night, If am in
town If | am not here in person,
| will be at the meeting in financial
spirit. / am willing to do my share,
for | believe that this is the right
kind of movement, and | am heart
lily in accord with it, and so is the
.Tonopah Lumber Company. We need
something to stir up the district, and
| believe in including all the camps
in our jurisdiction AS for Manhat-
tan, | am going to get busy there
next week in the way of develop
ment We are going to commence
work on the Gold Wedge and the
Manhattan Crescent right away
Donald B. Gillies, president of the
Tonopah Extension-I am with the
movement with all my heart. | am
going to the Shoshone in the morn
ing, but | shall be back by evening
in time to be at the meeting A
world of good can be done with
movement like this, not only for
Manhattan, but for all the camps in
our immediate neighborhood. | am
glad to see thing of the kind start
ed, and you can call on me for any
thing in my power
Professor Jenny, mining expert
1t will be pleasure for me to be at
the meeting. Manhattan, with an
area the size of the State of Con-
necticut, and the mines which sur
round it, would naturally be a big
mining center; but apart from that,
she has the mines herself, and all
they need is development This is
the right kind of movement, start
ed in the right kind of way.
Senator 7. L. Oddie-We need at
this time a stimulus for the develop
| ment of the country, and Manhattan
has all the qualities for the develop
ment of great camp. And there
are other districts, in which Tonopah
has the greatest interest. that can
be benefited by movement like that
which has been started. / will take
great pleasure in attending the meet
ing.
John J. Mullin-If half the truth
| about Manhattan were to be told, it
would be enough to make them shut
up their shops in the east and come
and live with u.s. You can take
mine after mine in Manhattan, and
show the greatest expert in the
world, or the poorest one, where
there is not less than $15O,000 on
the dumps, and at that / am very
conservative. With the mills being
rushed to completion. there is no
doubt of the future of Manhattan. 1t
is going to be one of the greatest gold
camps in the world.
l.. A. Gibbons am much graft
fed to learn of the movement that
is going on. All that Manhattan

shipped on railroads may not be kept
In cars without food and water longer
than 2s hours without the consent OF

The cases are against the Rock Island
road. The record show the stock was
kept In the cars an average OF about
As hours.
In n circular sent by Secretary Will
son to the heads of all railroad lines
in the country. he says:
THE department has, to this date,

OF these cases have been reported to

$50 cases will be transmitted to the

In all OF these cases the offense con-

FOREST RESERVE POLICY.
Strongly Attacker In the United
States Senate Discussion.

Washington.-With an amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill
increasing the salary of Forester Gif-
ford Pirchot from $500 to $4,000 per
arnum as its text, the Senate Monday
discussed the forestry policy of the
government, which was pretty gener-
ally scored by western senators. al
though they all voted for increasing
Pinchot's salary on the roll call.
Western men criticised severely the
practice OF creating blanket reserves
embracing lands suitable for grazing
and agriculture. and often without
timber growth %; commercial or other
value. The policy of using public
lands for the purpose of raising rev.
enue was denounced by Senator Full
ton, who contcnded that the lands
should be passed into the hands OF
private individuals as rapidly as pos
sible.
When Fulton arraigned the forestry
bureau for enclosing a great area OF
woodless lands in forest reserves, and
then permitting owners to exchange
for them lieu lands of great value for
agriculture or timber outside of re-
serves, Senators Warren and Carter
called attention to the fact that these
abuses had occurred before the forest
Service was transferred from control
Gr the Interior Department.
