CAN'T MOVE LOGS
Reason Why Nearly All Saw
mills on the Mississippi
River Have Been Idle.
Weyerhaeuser Establishments at Min
neapols and Little Falls Only
Ones Supplied.

There has been very little doing
among the lumber mills of the Missis
sippi valley this season owing to a
continued scarcity of logs The situa
ton at Rock Island and Davenport is
reflected elsewhere along the stream
save at Minneapolis. The Minneapolis
Times has the following TO say of the
situation:
TWENTY-FIVE thousand lumber mil
men are idle at present in the Missis
sippi valley from its source to Keokuk
Iowa. Not one lumber mill on the
whole river below Minneapolis is in
operation. The only two mills now
working on the entire river are the
North Land Pine Lumber company ana
the Little Falls Lumber company, both
belonging to the Weyerhaeuser int:
ests.
"The Mississippi & Rum River Boon
company cannot supply the other mill;
with logs. The boom companies say
that the extremely low stage of tn,
water is the reason for their inabilit!
to bring the drives down to the city
The logs now being sawed by the tive
Weyerhaeuser mills were brought down
and put in pockets early i'll the sprin;
before the water went down.
"'There has been some mismanage
ment or miscalculating on the part O
the boom company said John l.. De

LEE WILLARD PUEASES

In the strong romantic drama of
Monte Cristo" Lee Willard and his
company were better received last
evening at Mckissicks than they

Reno, and appreciation was we'll de-
cerved. The cast was we'll balanced
and Mr.. Willard in the triple role of
Edmond Dante, the sailor sent to
prison for political reasons, Able Bu-

and Count of Monte Christie, the char
acter he takes in getting revenge on
his enemies. shows his skill Of the
actors art. =
Mr.. Willard in his portrayal of an
guish and his calm search for re-
! venge many times won the applause
of the house. ~
Iva Shepard had little to do but
that portion was we'll done. The
character of tn avaricious hag, wife
of the innkeeper, was taken by Marian
Dunn in a clever manner. c. Caulkins
and c. Carvel also carried the parts
of the Williams we'll The play is full
of action and no portion of the five
acts is dull. The climaxes are strong

THE GOLDFiELD FIGHT.

Under the above caption the Wall
St. News has the following:
Wherever there is advantage and
much to be gained there will be the
influence that tends toward rascality
and other ills. The recent trials or
one of the richest mining territories
in the country is proof of this fact.
But the encouragement which is given
by the victory in this instance is
most gratifying. 1t shows that after
all, the people OF this country will rise
to an emergency, and the better
judgement OF the better class will win
out over the greed and avarice. Cod
field has much to endure and to deal
with. Not only the efforts of men,
urged on by the labor unions in that
vicinity, but the rigidness of nature
afflicted her With the strike came
bliZzards and bitter weather, lack OF
fuel and scarcity of food. And yet,
without any complaint, those VINO nau
the best interests of the district, at
heart succeeded in holding out for
right and winning. Not much damage
has been done. The wealth of Gold
field will counteract any effort which
reports have had on the minds of IN
vestors There is no district in the
whole of this rich land so worthy Of
good opinion as this part of Nevada
and there is no reason to expect othel
than the greatest prosperity for the
brave mining camps.

LAND COMMISSIONER BILL.

The bill which was introduced to
the senate on January 81, creating
the Office Of the mineral land COM
missioner, has created much interest
among the mining men of this city.
The measure provides that the at
torney general be made ex-oficio
commissioner with salary Of $2,50O
year and he shall have jurisdiction
in all land patent cases.
The bill is summarized as follows:
1t shall be the duty Of the mineral
land commissioner to examine all
applicants for patents of the public
lands of this state, or of the United
States. except mining claims. and e
make an abstract Of such applicatio.
which shall contain the name Of the
applicant, the location of the land az
piled for to be patented by legal sun
divisions, with the section, township
and range, the date of entry of th
applicant, and the character of sucl

SHOULD THE CORPORATIONS
RULE?

A Democratic house has demonstrate
ed that it is here to legslate for the
people and the passage OF the Boyd
resolution puts the fight against the
corporations suarely into the field OF
practical politics.
A Democratic House has placed it.
self on record as being willing to give
the people relief and Republican
Senate has voted to allow the cOrpor
ations to conduct their business here
as they see fit.
The railroads, the Western Union
telegraph company AMI the Wells
Fargo Express company have looted
Nevada for years and held themselves
to be absolutely above the law.
They have charged eXorbitant
prices for poor service and set the as
SCISSOR at defiance. The agents 0f
these corporations have bonded To-
gether to fix their own tax valuations
on their properties and and make
their own returns.
The sworn statement OF the agent
Of the Western Union at Goldfeld is
case in point.
According TO his own statement he
has no hesitation in publishing that
the office at thai point is running At
loss. This is done TO escape paying
taxes and everybody knows it.
The object OF BOyd's resolution was
to get at the real income of this tax
dodging company and compel 1t 20
share the burdens Of running the gov
ernment of Nevada. 1t was not
merely aimed at the Western Union,
but other corporations who conduct
their business on the same principles.
1t was promptly killed because to lift
the lid off their business would show
the real value of affairs and when any
wealthy tax lodging outfit in this
| state wants assistance, it can always
to deliver the goods.
The quick response of the Demo
. cratic House to the call of the people
has placed the Senate on the defen
f sive and the party leaders, already
9 alarmed at the effect it may have o.
the next election and are holding con
s ferences over the situation and insist
j. ing that the Senate get in line TO
some measure that will grant relic
t. to the people.
1t is argued that this must be don
f or the party will make but a pitabl
o showing two years from now.
There was a private conference i
this city last night of the Republica
leaders but the result has not bee
given out.
The people who are asking re; .
are not of the class who want to tea
Ii up railroad tracks Or introduce C nc
,e bills to harry the corporations. the
e simply want a fair consideration {
their rights. They are not asking III
reasonable things and the corpor
tions would do we'll to make these co
ie cessions.
IL The Appeal believs that in the eI
te the railroad people will make no fu
=. ther fight but meet the shippers ha
way.
If they fail TO do this the popul;
= reaction against high freight and pa
senger tariffs in Nevada will NAL
