RENO REvEILLE CALLS
HIM THE FATHER-IN-LAW
OF UNIONISM
Southern Pacific Co.
Office of Superintendent.

w. II. Minor arrived from McDer-
mitt yesterday and will be in Winnie
mueca few days on business. From
a recent issue of the Reno Reveille
we clip the following concerning Mr..
Minor:
w. H. Minor Of McDermitt has
some claims to be considered the
fatherinlaw of unionism, whoever the
father may be. One of his daughters
married w. d Haywood, secretary
treasurer of the Western Federation
Of Miners, and now it develops that
another daughter is the wife of G. II.
Mackinon, the newly elected presi-
dent of the Goldheld miners union.
Maybe the returns are all in, but ev-
On as it is, Mr.. Minor certainly has
his share of unionist sons-in-law.

interesting diagram of the growth of
real estate and personal property in
Humboldt county. The diagram shows
at a glance how rapid has been the
development in the varied industries
of the county The assessed valua-
tion of property has more than doub-
led in the last ten years. This rise
has been somewhat peculiar, increas-

during the intervening years growing
more slowly.

Growth Of Assessable Property
In Humboldt County, Nevada
In the Last Eighteen Years

In spite of the growth in asscssable
property, the county has but little to
show for it in the way of new build

money has been on hand has been ap-
piled to the paying of bonds that
were sold to construct the court house,
and there are $1,000 worth, running at
7 per cent per annum, yet to call in.

This matter is of interest locally be-
cause the people of Winnemueca have
been suffering from the same abuse
as the people of Wells. Some time

been somewhat improved, it is yet far
from satisfactory.

The character of our children is
moulded in the schoolroom, and en-
vironments have much to do with the
development of desirable qualities,
hence it is important that we make
our home as pleasant as possible, and
it is equally as important that we
make our schools attractive and in
viting. Every school should have
trees and flowers and it should be
the pride of the children to care for
them. Benefits of such efforts have
been shown in the North and East,

South gave attention to such mat
