Don't DeseCrate
Decoration Day.

We are told that Bill Squires
will introduce himself to the Amer
lean people by fight in the prize
ring on Decoration Day, the one
day in the year that should be
consecrated to the memory of the
dead soldier, who gave his life that
we, his descendants, might enjoy
the blessings that come to us by
sacrifice of these lives, on our own
battleields-but the day is hal
lowed by the knowledge that there
are none but have a friend in some
one Of our many cemetries, and we
all recognize the fact that this day
is especially set apart not for
prize fights, but for the sacred
duty of paying just tribute to our
departed friends. Let all who re-
spect their dead friends unite and
protest against this sacrilege.

Compulsory
Education.

1t would be well for parents and
guardians Of children to read the
state compulsory education law. A
clear understanding of the law will
guard them against the trouble
which will follow noncompliance
with its provisions.
The section defining the duties
of parents is as follows:
"Every parent, guardian or other
person in the state of Nevada, hav-
ing control or charge of child or
children, between the ages of eight
and fourteen years, shall be requir-
ed to send such child or children
to public school for period of
at least sixteen weeks in each school
year, at least eight weeks of which
shall be consecutive, unless such
child or children are excused from
such attendance by the board OF
school trustees of the school dis
trict in which such parents or
guardians reside, upon its being
shown to their satisfaction that the
bodily or mental condition of such
child or children has been such as
to prevent his or her or their at
tendance at school or application
to study for the period required, or
that such child or children are
taught in a private school or at
home, in such branches as are us
ually taught in primary schools, or
have already acquired the ordinary
branches of learning taught in the
public schools; provided, in case
public school shall not be taught
for a period of sixteen weeks, or
any part thereof, during the years,
within two miles, by the nearest
travelled road, or the residence of
any person within the school dis
triet, he or she shall not be liable
to the provisions of this act"
The law requires the school trus-
tees of each district to take GEN.
sus every year of the children be-
tween the ages OF eight and four
teen years, and to furnish the prin-
cipals of schools with a list of the
names. IL, at the expiration of
four months, it is found that
parents or guardians have failed
to comply with the provisions of
the act, the offenders are to be fin
ed by the justice of the peace of
the district"

Two Big Battle
Ships.

President Roosevelt has under
consideration the naming of two
battleships OF the Dreadnaught
type, for which contracts will soon
be awarded. The ships will be
given the names OF states accord
ing to custom, says Washington
Let "Nevada" be the name OF
our greatest ship
And anything that floats the sea
she'll whip.
No doubt her guns will do great
slaughter
And though chuck full of holes
she'll never take water.

Will EndeayOr to
Force Railroad to
Do Away With
Back Haul
Rates.

The railroad commission of Ne
vada last Thursday decided that
the great grievance of the state
| against the railways is the back
haul from the coast and that til ere
is only one way to bring the thing
to an end.
1t was decided therefore, to bring
the matter before the interstate
commerce and the resolution was
at once acted upon.
That the commission means bus
mess was evident in everything
that WAS said and done at the meet
ing, which was the most important
ever held in the state by any or
ganization or body to deal with the
railway question.
A communication was forwarded
to FL. G. Adams, chief statistician
of the interstate commerce COM
mission, calling attention to the
back haul and clearly and cogently
pointing out that it was illegal, un-
just and all wrong, that it was not
based upon any ruling of the COM
mission as had been asserted by
railways, and that it had done
more to retard the industrial and
material development of Nevada
than any other cause.
II was asked that the federal
com mission take the matter up i'm
mediately.
In the meantime, the railway
commission decided that it was
necessary to gather facts and
figures, aud these will be obtained
Immediately. 1t was resolved to
obtain from Reno, Carson, City,
Winnemucca, Elko, Goldfield and
other points, all such information
as to figures and shipments as
could be obtained, in order that
the states position in regard to
the back haul might he maintain
ed when the interstate commerce
commission should call for figures.

Settled Right of
Way.

Southern Pacific and Western
Pacific roads have finally adjusted
by arbitration their right of way
and crossing disputes in the State
OF Nevada. The Western Pacific
ruus across $50 miles of the South
ern Pacific land grant in this
State, entered on the land just
west of the Utah line, and leaving
it thirty five miles west of Winnie
mucca. There were several points
whero there would have to be
crossings of the tracks, unless the
Western Pacific was allowed to
construct its line within the right
of-way grant of the Southern Pa
cifc, which is y strip of land ex-
tending 200 feet each side of the
Southern Pacific track. At more
than twelve points the Western
Pacific track will extend for sew
eral miles less than fifty feet from
the Southern Pacific track, and
from that to fifteen feet apart. Be-
tween Wells and Winnemucca
there is only one point where the
two lines will be more than half
mile apart.

Saloon is a Gold
Mine.

As dividend payer the Nevada
saloon at Goldfield holds the ace
card. The corporation controlling
it is capitalized at 100000, and
during the past year average divi-
dends have been declared of 30 per
cent per month.
The directors are Tex Rickard,
e. s. Highley, William Haig aud
Ray Holbrook. They met a few
days ago and after going over their
books declared dividend for the
past month Of 35 per cent, and
could easily have made it DO per
cent, according to the following
statement:
Net winnings from gambling
tables ............... $50, ,431
Bar receipts. s.............. 15,029
Totei. ....... -. .$45, AGO
And this in the face of the labor
troubles and stringency in the
money mai iket.
An average of 30 per cent
month on a capitalization of $780,
600 means a return of $360,000 a
year, or an annual dividend of 36
per cent on 81, 100000.
TEX said that as soon as the
premises were enlarged and they
had two bars and few more
games summing, the dividends
would be increased to so per cent.

REOPEN DEFUNCT BANK
Plans on Foot to ReOrganize
Portland Institution.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 1l.-Plans
are on foot to reorganize and reopen
the Oregon Trust aud Savings bank,
which failed here few weeks ago.
The plan is conditioned upon the
willingness of the depositors in the
old institution to subscribe stock in
proportion to their deposits in the
old bank and also to subscribe for
the Home Telephone bonds, which
form a material portion of the old
banks assets. 1t is stated that sub
scription lists which have been circu-
lated for the last few days have been
signed by many of the depositors,
and this, with the fact that President
Moore's friends in eastern Oregon
have subscribed $3.50, 900 for the new
venture, leads to the general belief
that the effort to reorRanize will be
successful.
This plan is to retain both Mr..
Moore as president and W. Cooper
Morris as cashier, both men having
devoted their personal fortunes to the
liquidation of the present institu-
tion's indebtedness.

WANTS BIG FINE SUSPENDED
Standard Oil Thinks 81, ZOO, 900
Bond Is Sufficient.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE Standard
OIL company of Indiana yesterday
applied 10 the United States circuit
court for a writ OF supersedeas, sns.
pending the operation OF the recent
decision rendered by Judge Landis In
the United States district court In
which the penalty assessed against
the company was $40, 900, 900.
Judge GFosscup, before whom the
application was made, declined to
take action until he had heard argu-
ments from the attorneys ON both
sides. The arguments consumed the
greater part of the day.
The government attorneys insisted
tue supersedeas bond, IL a writ OF err
ror was granted, should DO as large
as the fine against the company.
The attorneys for the company ar
gued for bond OF 81. 900, 600.
Judge Grosscup, while not specify
Ing the amount of the bond, declared
that he thought 1t should bo equal at
least to the total value of the Stan
dard Oil company of Indiana.

FREE DELIVERY SOON

1t Is expected action will be taken
in the near future looking toward
free delivery for Occur d'Alene
Senator W. b. Hepburn has written a
hearty recommendation to the depart
ment urging that action be taken at
once. A reply has been received in
which It Is said his wishes will be
fully complied with, at an early date.
IL is planned to have free delivery
throughout the entire corporate linn
its of the city. This means there
must be there carriers In order that
the mail may be distributed once a
day throughout the residence portion
and twice a day In the business sec
ton. The revenues collected through
the postottioe In the city will fully
allow the three carriers. An effort
is also in progress whereby CoAur
d'Alene may secure three mails a day
from Spokane. This will necesistate
the letting Of a new contract which
Is thought to be entirely feasible.
Heretofore, all mail coming from
Wallace to Occur d'Alene required
two days iDasmuch as 1t was sent via
Tekoa, Washington. While Senator
Heyb Was here, he saw the incon-
enience of such service and bad II cor
rected by causing a through pouch
to be put on between the two points.
Now mail from Wallace will reach
Occur d'Alene The same say that 1T Is
mailed. In other words It will come
on the same train and boat with
passengers.

JAPANESE PASSUP
VANCOUVER RIOT
Will Not Demand an Apology Says
IShii

Seattle, WASH, Sept. IA special
to the Post Intelligencer from Van
couver, b. c., saying that Japan
does mt intend to make an lnterna-
tional affair of the japanese riots
which have occurred In Vancouver,
became known last night when In an
interview, K. Ishil, chief of the bur
eau OF foreign commerce, stated:
Il have received cable dispatches
from the Japanese government at
Toxic to the effect that Japan will
not make an international incident
of the riots of the past few days.
''The relations between Japan and
Great Britain are too close aud too
friendly to be destroyed by this inci.
dent.
"Of course the resident Japanese
of Vancouver will demand payment
for damages, but as far as the govern
ment of Japan 10 concerned there will
be no official representation.
Ishii leaves today for Ottawa aud
is OF the belief that further rioting
in Vancouver will not OCCUR. The
situation is being handled diplomat
ically,
The Chinese and Japanese strike,
which went into effect yesterday
morning was called off yesterday
afternoon, and the Chinese and Jap.
anese will go back TO work tomorrow
morning. In contrast with this, the
white labor unions are debating to-
night whether to call general strike
tomorrow morning In all places where
both white labor and orientals ave
employed. Vancouver and all other
cities OF British Columbia are facing
what may become the greatest strike
in the history of western Canada.

PATHOS OF REAL LIFE
lover the Hills to the Poor
house."

mousse
Spokane, WASH, Sept. 10. When
Patrolman Nick Warner Iedssthe tot.
tering and enfeehled from of AL
Summers into police headq uartera
Monday evening, farmer prosperous
saloon keeper of Spokane took his
initial steps toward the county poor
farm at Spangle. An order had been
given the policeman to bring Sum-
meIs in, and Warner found him on
his way to the cheap lodging house
ON Frol t avenue where he has recent
ly been accustomed to turn in.
Between the years of 1884 and
1887 Al Summers and Cal Duncan
ran the Pantheon on Howard street,
near where the Palm now is located.
1t was the most palatial bar of which
the drinkers of Spokane boosted in
the years mentioned. The place
coined money. Al Summers was one
Of the most popular men IN town.
In fact, in a voting contest carried
on at one of the fairs of the day he
was voted the most popular dispenser
Of drinks In the city.
In 1887 Summers left town and no
one heard of him until about three
years ago, when he returned, a mere
wreck of his former manhood He
was not inclined to talk of his
sffairs, but It was understood by
those who were once familiar with
him that family troubles caused { be
tremendous change in the once hand
some and energetic man. He drank,
of course, but was never arrested for
drunkenness. Indeed, he seldom
drank TO excess. No one knew how
he came by the little money he passed
over the bars. He ever seemed to
be living elsewhere, and the ex
preston on his face indicated deep
abstraction. He was often pointed
out as "once the handsomest aud
most popular man in town. He
has been growing physically feebler
during the past few months, until
the police took him In last night.
He goes to the institution at Spangle
today.

SALOON LICENSE

The most unique feature of the in
crease in a saloon licenses was that
the matter would not have been dug
from the archives had not the repre-
sentatives of the beautiful new Carne-
gle library building come before the
council and urged the need of
books; that the city was so far be-
hind in supplying books that it had
but II, 900 volumes, as compared to
Al, 900 volumes in the Tacoma Ii
brary and 90, 900 volumes in the Sc
attic library. In the annual esti-
mates il had been learned by the Ii
brary commission that S22, 600, or
6ye-eights of mill, had been asked
as an assessment for library purposes
and the council had decided to cut
down the amount by One-eighth of a
mill, or approximately $4,000, and
this sum to be taken from the amount
asked for the purchase of new books.
To the minds of the council It de-
veloped into a case of fewer books in
the library and q smaller saloon Ii
cense or more books in the library
and higher saloon license. The in
crease in books won.
In behalf of the library, j. A. Tor
mey, superintendent of city schools,
and Judge George W. Belt, both
members Of the library commission,
and Mrs. Estella Deffenbaugh, city
librarian. appeared and spoke.
