MAKESEXPLANATION
REPLIES TO ARTICLE IN BONAN.
IA ON LACK OF
WATER.

The fact that there was no water
In the mains for several hours this
morning has stirred up the people
of Tonopah to a considerable degree,
but as in most cases there are two
sides to the story. It was impossi-
BILE to learn the reason of the shut
down up to the time of going to
press as nobody could be found in
charge to give any explanation. AS
a matter of fact the shutting down
of the water was in consequence of
improvements on the part of the
water company, which has given
Tonopah better fire protection than
it ever had before, by at least 20
or 80 per cent.
This is the statement of Superin-
tendent r. M. Boykin of the Tonopah
United Water Company, and he is
backed in his assertion by Chairman
Davis of the Fire Commission. The
n mistake that Mr.. Boykin made,
which he now admits, is that he did
not notify the chairman OF the Fire
Commission of his intention of shut
ding off the supply.
Il did not think of doing that, .
said Mr.. Boykin. "and | now realize
that l should have informed the

EDITORIAL COMMENT
SING OF ONE OF WORLDS GREAT ONES

In the death of Major Dennis, there passed away one of the last of
that brilliant and forceful school of writer's of Nevada, from which
sprung Mark Twain and Bret Harte, who carried the fame of Nevada
far out into the world.
Their golden words of wisdom, of wit and thought and humor,
have added al much luser to the fair name of the state a. the shining
metal taken from her underground treasure vaults, and as the latter en-
literature.
Major Dennis occupied the editorial chair and did not seek the broad
er heds of literature wherein he would have become famous and would
doubtless have died with the worlds goods a plenty. But he died n
dowed with riches that wealth cannot bring, the high esteem, respect
and admiration Of his fellow men, which amounted well nigh to rev.
erence.
He a forty years in the harness, having begun his career IS edi-
tor OF the Tuscorora Times Review. His clever writings, clear logic and
merry wit made the little paper one OF the best read in the state. He
had a kindly heart like most strong men, but he had also a caustic
wit which Otter made his enemies vince, for he as unrelenting to the
foe. But he was always just, and nearly always right, and no man could
accuse him of assembling. He had always the courage of his convfc-
IONS anu ne so ut straight from the shoulder. When he was
wrong, the error sprung from defective judgment and not from the
promptings of a wn1ful heart. His writings moved his readers to tears
as easily a they melted them to laughter. His death left them all in
tears.

THE PUBLIC ROADS.

the action of the Police Jury at
lite session last week in submit
ting to the voters of the Parish
the proposition to vote a tax of
three mills on the dollar for the
purpose of working the public
roads. In our last issue we
recommended the setting aside of
a tax of the general levy, but we
are satisfied that the citizens of
this parish will see it to their adj
vantage to vote this tax.
As it is now there are many
sections of the country in which
there are no hands on the roads
to work them under the old sys-
tenn, and all of the timber lands
in the parish are owned by for
eign corporations who are using
every endeavor to cut it into
lumber, and in taking this TIM
Der off they are with their heavy
teams and wagons running over
the roads and making them im-
passable. This timber is being
moved by transient laborers who
migrate as soon as they are sub
poened to work on the roads, and
when they do come to answer a
summons they have no implement
with which to work.
Vote the tax and il will be
found that the resident tax pay
ers will only pay between % and
SO per cent while the foreign tax
payers will pay from 81 to IS
per cent.
There is nothing that will
bring q section of country into
notice quicker and induce imml
grafton as well as good roads.
With good roads we can have
better schools, 1 mean better be-
cause of the fact that we can
consolidate small schools and
transport children, giving larger
attendance and thereby securing
better teachers. The Police
Jury of this parish has during the
present administration shown its
members to be progressive men.
Every creek and bayou has been
bridged, contract has been
made to repair and put in COM
plete sanitary system in the
parish jail and the Court House
will be overhauled and put in q
decent condition, the square and
walks to the building to be
| paved, and last but not least,
they have gwen the people an
opportunity to have good public
roads.
After this tax is voted on the
property, the Police Jury will
then pass an ordinance fixing a
per capita tax On all persons who
are residents of the parish for
10 days, which will yield much
larger revenue than one would
suppose, and the tax can be en-
forced, the Supreme Court hay
| ing passed on the question, and
then a wheel tax can be put on
vehicles. After fhe tax IS voted
would suggest, that the Police
Jury send committee of their
tmembers and look over the
system adopted BY some of the
other parishes so that they can
iaaugurate a system that has
been successfully inaugurated in
Claiborne, Bossier, Caddo, Qua
chita and Jackson parishes.
We have advocated this tax
ever since we have had charge of
The Sentinel and we will con-
tinue to use our best efforts to-
wards helping to make the sys-
tenn q success.

PROGRESSIVE WINFIELD.

II Will SoHoia@i
that we call attention to this issue
of The Sentinel. In ii will be
seen the action of the Police Jury
submitting to the voters OF Winn
Parish the question of voting a
three mill tax with which to work
the public roads. This is move
which We have advocated since
we assumed the editorial chair OF
The Sentinel. In this issue will
also be seen the result of an
election held in the town OF
WINFIELD authorizing the con-
ssruction of a system of water
works in the town, to cost twenty
seven thousand and five hundred
dollars. This proposition is one
of the improvements for which
this city has been sorely in need.
There is also in this issue an
authorization of the town
to build city hall. market house
and police Jail. Our city has now
. arrived at that period when these
things are public necessity and
the unanimity with which the tax
was voted shows to the world how
our people pull together. The
result was gratifying to all who
desire to see our city pushing tc
the front.
We desire to call especial at
tention to the page advertisement
of the town in this issue by
Messrs. Pace & Hall and we can
say with all candor that there is
not one line in that splendid ad-
veFt;sement that is not borne out
by the facts. The senior member
] of this firm is one of the progress
sive men of the South. He is
President of the Pace Oil Com
pany, the WINFIELD Oil Well
Railway and is largely interested
in every enterprise coming this
way. HIS success has come abou,
by the fact of his representations
beng based on facts.
Our ice plant, in course of con
struction, will be making ice by
May. All of the machinery is or
the ground and the foundations
for the building have been laid
and the building is being pushed
as fast as men and money can dc
it.
The WINFIELD Iron Works has
been compelled to enlarge It's
plant to accommodate the in
creasing business. The force OF
men has been more than doubled
under Mr.. Cavin's administration
and the foundry is working over
time. Il is thought that it will
be necessary TO add another or
enlarge the cupola in order to
handle the work coming to that
department, another forge has
been added in the blacksmith
shop, and still the plant has
months of work ahead.

Delivered the Goods.

The late Senator NJ. s. Quay, Of
Pennsylvania, kept all the letters his
constituents wrote to him asking for
favors, says the Saturday Evening
Post He had stacks of them when
his last great fight for the senate came
along. Then he sorted out the letters,
eliminating those from people who
were dead and on the back of each
letter wrote: Dear John or Bill:
Do you remember when you wrote me
this letter and do you remember that
l did what you asked? I want your
help now in my fight for the senate.
Can | have it?" The politicians in
Pennsylvania say those letters mailed
to the original senders with Quay's re-
quest on the backs of them, had as
much as any one thing to do with
Quay's winning his fight.
