The big Shoshone mill is treating 200
tons of ore per day with two shafts, and
the third shaft will soon be added and
the mill run to full capacity-3O0 tons

EARLY HISTORY
State Of Nevada is Now 4S
Years Old

October 81, 1907, was the 43d anniver-
sary OF the day on which President
Lincoln signed the document complete
ing the admission of Nevada as a state.
Nevada was originally called the
Washoe country and was not organized
as territory until 1861. A provisional
government however had been estab-
lished in 1858 under Isaac Roop. A
year latter in 1859 the Comstock lode
was discovered, which in the ten years
that followed produced $l37 100000 in
silver.
Those were the days of the Overland
stage, which made trips between st.
Joseph, Mo. and Placerville. 1t cost
two bits to mail letter on that stage
line, and a letter to Michigan would
cost 81.
The Comstock was booming those
DAYS, but it was before the time of the
Big Four, Flood, Mackay, Fair and
O'Brien.
Senator W. NJ. Stewart is about the
only politician of early days now living.

FOUL PLAY
Body Of Logan Lad Found Near
Kyle Ranch

Wednesday evening the decomposed
( body OF l.. VI. Barclay was found in a
/ elump Of thist!es about one half mile
southeast of the Kyle Ranch and about
80 feet east OF the railroad. The dis
coyery was made 10y Messrs. Holland
and Dupee, who were out hunting. The
officers were notified, but owing to the
condition of the body it was not moved
Wednesday night.
Thursday morning Justice H. VI.
Lillis with Constable Gay and jury
repaired to the scene and held and in
quest. Up to this time the identity of
/ the man was not known. Investigation
/ showed that he had been shot through
the head from behind and been thrown
| into the bushes some time after the
crime was committed. The flesh and
hair were gone from the head proving
that he had been dead several days
/ The coat had been removed and was
| found covering the head, the body
turned inside out. Letters found in an
other pocket established his identity as
/. NJ Barclay, about 22 years of age,
son OF Mrs. Mary Averett of Logan,
| Nevada. from whom he had received a
/ letter At Beatty, Oct, II; another letter
was from sister at GoOdsprlngs, dated
Oct. 2lst and received at Beatty. The
! letter from his mother referred to his
returning home, and he had probably
come down from Beatty for that pur-
pose 1t is stated that he had been
working at Beatty for some time and as
he was steady young man, probably had
transferable money with him. All in
dications point to a deliberate and foul
murder.
/ The jury, composed OF NJ. W. IIamil-
ton Gco. Garwood, Earnest Staley, J.
ID. McAdams, n. J.. Crosby and Geo
Bergman, rendered verdict to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death 10y pistol wound inflicted by a
person or persons unknown.
= Later it was learned that. Young Bar
clay had stopped at the Overland Hotel
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, Oct. %
and %, with another man, whose sigma
ture on the register rcsembled -.

somewhat obscure, who registered as
from Tonopah. Barclay paid the bills.
Thursday afternoon Landlord Wisner
observed them leaving the hotel with
Barclays grips and remarked that there
would be no train till evening, when
they replied they were going to the
Kyle ranch Neither We're seen again
until Barclays dead body was found.
TAKEN HOME
J. II. Averett, stepfather Of the de
ceased, arrived from Logan Thursday
night to take the remains home for
burial. He states that the lad was only
20 years of age this fall, and was ON his
way home to remain after having been
absent since 1903. He was steady,
hardworking young man Of good char
acter, and made friends and bore a
good reputation wherever he went.
The sincere sympathy Of the COM
munity goes out to the griei-stricken
parents and family.

ABOLITION OF THE CIGARETTE.

We are not certain of the consti-
tutionality of the act, but we cannot
withhold our cordial commendation
Of the very practical attempt on the
part Of the State of Washington to
oust the accursed cigarette from her
midst. 1t is a demonstration of her
popular contempt for a contemplate
and evil thing, that will go far toward
reducing the habit to a minimum else
where. 1t was done without regard
to prescriptions or degrees or people
and is a wholesale, peremptory decree,
driving 1t out Of the state; just as
should have been done when the
Oregon legislature made its qualified
attempt in the same direction.
The cigarette has become the sign
of weakness, perversion and utter ne
cation in the business world, and the
"fend" takes his place instantly
among the incompetents and the du-
bious. 1t is the skim breaker to the
dreadful pipe" of the hop-den; and
any blow that is dealt 1t, successfully
or unsuccessfully, is not dealt amiss.

ANOTHER CITY NEEDED.

Oregon suffers by reason of the fact
that there Is but one city In the state
There should be half a dozen. Wash
ington has Seattle, Tacoma, and Spo-
kane; California has San Francisco.
Sacramento. Los Angeles. San Diego
and Stockton. All these are live and
living centers of commercial activity
and strike healthy balance as be-
tween them in the matters of pro-
gress patronage and peace. Oregon
has one great city and that city, nat
urally dominates the state to degree
not altogether comfortable.
1t is the boast of Portland that she
has always, and ever will, conserve
the general good Of the state at large.
This she has done in part,
as became the metropolitan center;
but there have been instances when
she evinced other policies, frankly and
rankly selfish, wherein Portland has
been the desideratum sole. One OF
these, and the latest and most con-
spicuous. is the Port of Columbia law,
framed as she claims, for the sole pur
pose of perfecting the towage and
pilotage conditions on the bar and the
river; but as every man in the Col
umbia basin knows, for the single and
strict advantage of Portland and to
enable her to control the shipping at
the mouth of the Columbia. The
methods she pursued in the handling
OF this bill in the legislature, are point
blank evidence of her ulterior design;
an donl ythat the bill passed and be-
came the law, would the Oregonian
now champion the measure it was too
ashamed of, during that time, to edi-
torially endorse, except in the most
meagre and passive terms.
Realizing these things and the nee
essity for more cities in this common
wealth, Astoria has dealt herself a
few cards lately which will be play
ed in due season and with due know
ledge Of the situation, that will go to
the making of one more city, at least; |
and commercial city at that We
have everything to build on, and to; |
and the only thing that shall stop this
bold undertaking, will be the compre-
hensive work of Portland, to retard
and defeat it, upon the hypothesis
that she Is serving the general good of
Oregon.
And We are wise enough down mere
to do our work upon the distinct un
derstanding that Of all the places in
the state where Portland breads to see
such a city upreared, is right on this
peninsula Nor do we deprecate her
reasons therefore. They are para
mount; but we will endeavor to prove
them quite inadequate.
