WONDERFUL RESULTS.
Or the Work of the Committee on
 Contributions for the Celebration.

At five o'clock last evening SsO9 had been promised to the committee that has spent a little time each day this week soliciting funds for the big celebration that is to be held here July fourth. This amount does not in clude the four steers that have been promised. The committee now feels certain that no less than a thousand dollars will be contributed and con- sidering the short space of time that has been required to make this collec- tion. it speaks remarkably well for the prosperity of Tempe that such a large amount has been raised.
 It has been found impossible to print all the contributors for yesterday the amounts got down below the five dol lar figure and it was really surprising at the number who were willing to help the matter along. even only to the amount of a dollar or two. Every little counts though and the committee is willing to accept any amount, no matter how small. Not only are the residents of Tempe coming to the front with cash. but those farmers who were in town yesterday came in with varying from a dollar to five. The contributions to date of five dol lars or more appear below.

the evening was the enthusiasm that waxed loud and furious on all sides. Both societies were well represented not only by colors. pennants. etc. but also by vigorous young people who
 were there not only as a part of the audience but more for the purpose of making noise and lending encourage ment to the contestants.
 The evenings entertainment opened with a selection, a vocal waltz by the chorus that was rendered in a very pleasing and satisfactory manner. President Matthews followed with a few words stating the purpose of the occasion and introducing the various participants on the program of the evening The first contest was that of debate. The question was: Resolv- ed. that Japanese immigrants should be admitted to the United States on equal footing with the European inn migrants The affirmative was ably handled by representatives of the Olympian society in the persons of Miss Hazel Todd and Miss Maude Perry. The negative was taken care of in a manner equally as capable by Roy McComas and Della Schaal. rep resenting the Philomathian society. Lack of space prevents any mention of each individual speaker but it is sufficient to say that each speaker proved beyond doubt that he or she

 Following the debate a ladies' quar- tet consisting of Misses Laura schmidt. Olive Griffen. Helen BIome and Mary Hough. rendered a selection.

To Restrict
immigration

Goodwin's Weekly says: "Ev
cry (male) immigrant coming
without means to this country to
make living should, if between
the ages of IS and 80, be at once
enrolled in the army or navy. and
made TO serve one or two wears.
That, upon receiving an honor
able discharge, that discharge
should be sufficient proof before
any naturalization court to entitle
him to citizenship papers. In ad
dition such soldier or sailor should,
while in service, in time of peace,
receive two hours instruction
daily on the principles of our gov
eminent and the duties of citizen
ship. A national law of that
effect would materially restrict
immigration and keep out those
who leave their native land to
avoid CONSUMPTION"

that have been properly offered
to the said city of Yerington."
The Council must have known the
resolution to be untrue when it
passed it, as it had before it at the
time another application for a
franchise on more advantageous
terms. 1t also had before it in
writing an offer of water for fire
protection for the city made by
the Yerington Water Company,
which is much more advantageous
for the city.
The Yerington Water Company
offers all the water necessary for
fire protection service and street
sprinkling, no matter how many
hydrants are installed, for $40 per
month, or any other sum which
the Council may offer The Stick
ney franchise the Council proposes
makes a contract for ten years,
compelling payment of S. per
month per hydrant except for the
first twelve hydrants. As Main
street and Bridge street alone will
require about thirty hydrants, Ne
vada street eight, Center street
ten and California street four, or
in all fifty two hydrants, without
counting hydrants on new streets
at all, under the Stickney fran
chise the city would be stuck to
pay 5000 per month for forty hy-
drants as compared with $40 per
month to the Yerington Water
Company.
Rough on the taxpayers as this
robbery (for it is nothing less Grim
inal) would be, it is in the rates to
private water consumers that the
Sticknev franchise would be most
discouraging to the residents in
Yerington. To make this clear
we give in parallel column the
monthly rates of the Stickney
franchise. t h e corresponding
monthly rates which will be cllarg-
ed by the Yerington Water Com
pany, and the monthly rate charg-
ed in San Francisco:

What are We Up
Against?

The City Council seems bent Oh
destroying Yerington. For just
what reason we are unable to say,
unless the rumor is correct that
some of the members are interest
ed in other townsites in this vicin-
ity. The Council is passing ordi-
nances which will only have to be
enforced to insure the abandon
ment Of the city. Ordinance No.
8, if enforced, will drive business
houses out of the city where they
will not have to pay prohibitive
license. The ordinance, while not
at present being enforced, hangs
like the knife of a gullotine over
the head of the city, And now
comes the proposed water fran
chise ordinance, which if enacted.
will create water monopoly so
burdensome that no one can afford
to live in the city.
This proposed water ordinance
is published in full in our adver-
tislng columns this week. The
people should read it carefully
We have been to considerable
pains to find out just what it
means.
Right at the beginning the reso-
luton states a falsehood in declar-
ing that "the terms and conditions
hereafter set out in detail are the
best and most advantageous terms
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1907-08-03

Yerington impossible The pur-
pose of sewer system is to make
it possible to dispense with the
water closets and privys which
are growing menace to the
health OF the people of Yerington.
The Stick -it-on" franchise would
impose prohibitive monthly charges
for the water closets and urinals
which would have to be used with
sewer system. Fifty cents
month for each water closet in
private dwellings, SI.oo for each
one in hotel and $500 for each
in saloon, and $3.50 per month
for the use of urinals are prohibi-
tive charges. In San Francisco
the charges are 20 cents in hotels
and 40 cents in saloons for water
closets and S cents and cents per
month for urinals. The Yerington
Water Company will make no
special charge for either, making
only fat inclusive water rates SO
that there will be no reason for
restricting the introduction of san
itary conveniences.
AS we said at the beginning of
this article, the City Council
seems actuated with an intention
to destroy Yerington The license
ordinance which they refuse to
repeal and dare not enforce, can
have no other comprehensive mo-
tive for its enactment. The Stick
it-on" water franchise is another
clumsy effort by the Council which
can have no other comprehensive
motive for enactment. Nobody
but the promoter has asked for it,
and the circumstances of its adop-
ton, as they have been reported,
are thoroughly discreditable if not
worse.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1907-08-03

Comparing these rates it will be
noticed that the Yerington Com
pany's rates are, on the average,
less than half as much as the
Stickney franchise.
Taking the city as it stands and
assuming that every building and
business took water, there would
be collected under the rates of the
Stickney franchise not less than
S., 200 per month, while the
charges of the Yerington Water
Company will only aggregate $3.50
per month.
The Stickney franchise rates
are TO be in effect for ten years ''or
until the net earnings therefrom
shall equal the total cost Of Install
ing the water system, with inter
est thereon at ten per cent per
annum." We Gods and Big Graft
ers! How do the people like this
last clause for a franchise Joker?
What, pray, does the met cost of
installing the water system" mean
in dollars under this Stick it-on"
franchise? What kind Of ten per
cent interest is meant? From
when does it commence to run?
Do the License and Franchise
Pirates (miscalled our City Coun-
ciD not know that in accounting
cost of water works it is com
pound interest that is always en-
ployed.
Returning to comparison OF
the rates, the "Stick-it-on" fran
chise would tend to make the in
stallation of sewer system in

The Draper Bankrupt Sale was
the biggest event of that kind ever
known in the history of Newton,
Kan. Draper bought the Warner &
Crane bankrupt stock from the
creditors at 60 cents on the dollar,
and the entire stock was thrown on
the market at the same price. When
the doors were opened last Satur-
day morning there was a crowd
ready to rush in the store after the
bargains. and when the doors closed
at night the result showed nearly
s.. 600 worth of sales for the day.
When Draper arrived at Newton
and said that he was going to put
the entire stock on the market, he
was told that he was spending his
money for nothing. but when the
people of Newton saw new. first
class goods thrown on the market at
60 cents on the dollar they knew a
good thing and went after the
goods. All the stock was new and
worth from s1.1O to $1.2O on the
dollar. Draper will run the sale
one week longer in Newton and
ship the remainder of the stock else
where.
