commission Of oregon City sought 70
have the charter amended 80 as 70
nrovlde for the posting Of city ordl.
nancee on bulletin boards instead Of

raners Thinking to make sure OF
the passage Of this amendment the
commission attached it as a rider to
nroposal to reduce the city indebted
ness bv a bond issue, the latter being
) msritorious measure and one highly
nopular with the voters and tax
nayers This direct slap at the local
papers aroused the antagonism Oh the
npblishers and caused the defeat OF
the bond amendment, which would
have unouegtionably been enacted had
ftnot been saddled with the oolection-
able feature. The newspapers put up
a decent manly fight In defense oi
their business, aud the people were
fair-minded enough TO recognize the
Justice Of their Muse.
There Ia a lesson IN this for the pub
fishers Of Oregon. In no other state
in the Union have the newspapers been
30 shabbily treated by the lawmaking
bodies as in Oregon. No move to keep
psopIe 10 thedark concerning things

overlooked by the oorporation-serVlng
Legislatures, and ii has seemed the
easiest way 70 avoid publicity by TAX
ing away as many legal notices as
possible from the newspapers and
posting them on barns and gate-posts
where the least possible number Of
people would BEE them. The latest
move Of this kind is the new law to
abolish advertising Of delinquent tax
sales. which lie to become effective next
year. This law may not be sppre-
clated by the newspaper publishers
and good citizens who pay their taxes
promptly, but it will be warmly vel
coined by the tax dodger" and "sloW
payer" 10 whose interest it was
passed.
And 50 It goes. In most states, the
number OF legal publications Is beinf

being steadily diminished. Many o.

SAYS NEVADA HILLS
IS HEADED FOR SIS
No Such Treasure House i'm The
World, Says a Fairyiew
Authority.

While the advance of Nevada Hills
shares to $3.50 ON the New York
curb has created much excitement in
local circles, 1t was not unexpected;
in fact all well-informed mining men
who are acquainted with the prop
erty have freely predicted that it
was only matter of an attempt at
production to send the stock to SIS,
for which point it is certainly head
ed, says the Fairfield News. The
fact that the Nevada Hills owners
have never made an attempt at pro-
duction is alone responsible for the
shares remaining anywhere under
$40. The present actual ore re-
serve entities the stock to bring $40
per share, while production that will
soon be made from the bonanza vein
will send it up to SIS, and it may
not stop under $25.
Primarily, Nevada Hills speaks for
itself; yet it could not thus speak
but for the magnanimous courtesy
of Manager BILLY" Weber; the
treatment accorded our visiting pub
lie by this gentleman has made the
mine famous in that particular, in
addition to the attractive features of
the ore display. The "glad hand"
system of Fairview was inaugurated
by Manager Weber and the other
properties quickly followed suit; as
a result Fairview is in a class dis
tinctly by itself, in the matter of
its treatment of visitors.
While the Nevada Hills Leasing
company works are just now absorb
ing much attention, the work on the
main property continues undated;
the force of men employed there is
constantly increasing, and the sub
stance of future dividends continues
to pile up in the treasury, although
only exploration work is in progress.
In the countless drifts, raises, wines
and tunnels, where you can walk on
three sides of millions of dollars, we
have promise of what will take
place when transportation facilities
are afforded. With all the boosted
wealth of other mines, there is no
such treasure house in the world,
where $50 feet of depth exhibits SO
many dollars. and the public is grad
ually awakening to this truth. 1t is
now conceded that even Consolid-
ated will never soar to the price at
which this Fairview stock is aimed,
and 1t is but question of time until
the highest quotations of Goldfield
and Tonopah must take second place.

Wheat Stronger.

CHICAGO, July 24.-Wheat closed
with net gain of IL cent today;
corn was up 3-8 q 1-2c, oats Use
higher and provisions cents lower
to s cents higher. In addition to the
unfavorable weather for the crops in
the winter wheat section and in parts
Of Canada, the wheat market was
bullishly affected by rumor that
Spain had suspended the duty on
wheat. Small primary receipts and
light country acceptances also in
creased the demand in the local mar
ket. With the exception of a heavy
tone during the first few minutes of
the trading, due to lower cables and
a generally favorable weather map
in the northwest, the market was
strong all day and closed strong.
September opened 1-&c to 5-8c lower
at Gle to 81 1-2c, advanced to go 3-4c
and closed at go 1-8c.

TONOPAH & TIDEWATER
RUSHING TOWARD RHYOLITE.

Confidence is expressed by officials
of the Tonopah & Tidewater that the
road will reach Rhyolite in October.
1t would cost, it is estimated, $780,
900 to carry the line to Greenwater,
and there appears to be hesitancy in
undertaking it. AS to talk about a
consolidation with the Bullfrog road,
those in authority decline to discuss
it.
The Santa Fe is figuring on a "a
hour passenger service from Los An
geles to TOnopah, over the Bullfrog
& Goldfield. The Las Vegas G To-
nopah will be finished to Goldfield,
but will not be in a position to offer
traffic arrangements owing to rela-
tions established with the Salt Lake
route.
