when he passed away.
He was taken down about the mid
die of November with heart disease
and in spite of the best medical skill
was unable to rally from his first
severe attack.
The writer enjoyed his friendship
for many years and it is sad task to
record his uHtimely death.

survive him.
The funeral will take place from DR.

THE ENDLESS PRAYER RACKET.

The Appeal has just received
copy of prayer from some crank in
Sacramento. 1t is accompanied by a
letter asking the editor to write this
prayer out nine times for nine days
and distribute eighty one slips among
his friends. At the end of this per-
formance it asserted that we will
experience great joy
The trouble with this scheme is
that no one during a legislative ses-
sion has time to do all that work and
furthermore the editor of this paper
does not know 81 people in all his
list of acquaintance who ever say
their prayers. They might take a
hint from us as an interference with
their personal rights. We therefore
side step the task of educating this
community to high standard of
praying.

4 DIGGER STRIKE
Why GoldfieIder Gathered his Tools
and Lit out of Heaven.

The following story is told on the
persistant prospector of Goldfield.
One of the miners who recently
died there found his way to the port
ais of Heaven. st. Peter. to whom
he applied for admission, asked his
qualifications and the prospector told
of the good deeds he had performed
on earth, such as giving water to the
famished and rescuing companions
from death in the mines. His work
on earth was awarded by admission
to the city paved in gold.
AS soon as the stranger entered the
city beautiful he commenced pros
pecting. Streets were trenched, the
jasper pushed aside and the entire
habitaiton was being turned over for
the precious metal. St. Peter and the
guardians of the resort were unable
to stop the prospector who threatened
to wreck the entire place.
The next day another spirit from
Goldfield arrived. He asked for per
mission to enter, but was refused
He inquired the reason and was told
that the spirit ahead of him wa:
wrecking the entire place by pros
pecting. He said:
Uncle Peter if you will let me il
| will guarantee that l will get ri,
of the Objectionable spirit in f1v'
minutes
AS soon as he was shown the wa,
down the main street he walked VI
to the first arrival who had just mad
strike and whispered something il
his ear. The prospecting spirit grail
beed his coat, took his pick and SAN
pie sacks and started in a rush fo
other quarters. The entire habitatio
was amazed and the new one wa
summoned before the big council.
"How was it done?" was asked.

RAILROADS.
Nevada Needs Reduced Passenger
and Freight Rates.

Short lines are the best paying rail
roads in Nevada-for instance the v
& 7. and GoldfeldTonopah roads
which both paid the cost Of construc-
ton in less than one year.
East and West passenger rates
range from two to three cents per
mile. Why should people pay double
in Nevada Less than one cent per
ton per mile is the average freight
rate in the United States. Why
should Nevada people pay four times
this amount
Nevada mines cannot be worked
profitably unless fair freight rates
are made on ores. Farmers can't get
their products to market if unreason-
able freights are charged.
If the Nevada Legislature fails 20

freight and passenger rates, the mem
bers will hear from their constituents
No excuses will be accepted.-Gold

MORE REVENUE--LESS TAXES
Plain Language From the GoldfieId
Tribune on the Revenue an Tax
Question in Nevada.

The following from the Goldtield
Tribune should be read by every law
maker. 1t tells OF revenue conditions.
in Nevada and everyone conversant
with the subject knows that its state
ments are inside the facts:
The greatest need Of the hour is a
radical revision of the revenue laws
that the state may be provided with
the sinews of war for the proper con-
duct of business and the maintenance
of state institutions on a scale COM
patble with the dignity of the COM
monwealth. For years there has been
solvency, happy-go-lucky lack Of
system in loking after the funds that
belong to the people. Wealthy cor
| porations have been allowed to pay as
they please, after the fashion of the
legendary railroad conductor who de-
cided what to give the company by
tossing his collections in the air and
retaining what failed to catch on the
bell-cord. That the corporations have
been giving the state the fag end of
their dues goes without saying, as IL
lustrated by a statement made to the
!. assembly at Carson. One witness
stated that in Lincoln county the col
lectons could easily have suffced 10
