and the railroad management in full
all cash. If you are in business
you know what that means to you.
You know that at this time the
amount of money the railroad put
out yesterday means a great deal in
easing things, in helping you to tide
through.
We presume that the Impostor and
it's little following of kickers will find
in the fact that the Nevada Northern
rustled for cash and put it in circula-
ton here yesterday, something OBJ
jectionable. Possibly they will try
for an injunction to prevent the rail
road from doing the same thing next
month. If shame, presuming they
know anything of that, prevents their
finding fault, they will have estab-
lished a record. 1t will be the first
time that they have not expressed
open objection to anything that the
road has done.
The level headed, thinking bust
ness men and citizens of Ely, how
ever, will not be without appreciation
of. the action of the railroad. And
if you will think about it minute,
gentlemen, going back in your minds
over the record of the railroad man
agement here, we believe you will
find great deal to commend it for
and to be grateful for, and that the
more you think about it fairly and
we'll the more you will feel that there
has been a great deal of uncalled for
criticism, a great many demands that
might not fairly be made and mighty
little expression of appreciation of
the immense good the organization
has brought about for you in put
ting the district in touch with the
world, reducing your wagon haul of
frieghts from $50 miles to less than
two miles, and in making possible
the development of the immense ore
deposits of the district.

THE ROOSEVELT DOSE.

The address of Mr.. Cornwell few
nights ago before students of the
College of Commerce in New York
struck the right keynote in attribute
ing the recent financial crisis to loss
of confidence on the part of the pub
lie in many men who previous to two
years ago, when the insurance COM
pany investigations turned on the
light, had the use of the money and
held the trust and esteem of the
people of the country
Mr.. Cornwell's later deduction
that the attitude of President Roose-
welt had made for utter financial de-
moralization and that it had there
fore been unwise, to interpret the
speaker mildly, is doubtless partly
true That five years from now
Roosevelt will be receiving the ac-
claim of the world for his stand,
however, we believe to be among the
things certain to come to pass.
As said before in these columns,
the Roosevelt dose has been hard to
take. Possibly it might have been
administered with as good or better
results, in curbing robbery of the
public and the choking of individual
enterprise, in less destinations,
noisy nerve-racking way than the
able The disease had advanced to
a stage that laughed at homeopathic
doses. 1t demanded drastic treat
ment, which it has received. And of
course you must get sick before you
can get we'll The doctoring Roose-
welt has done has unquestionably
cleaned bad mess from the stomach
of the country and it will be a great
deal better and stronger when re-
covered. However, there is still an
other physic to be administered be-
fore the job is finished. 1t comes I'M
der the label of tariff reform, is 60
ing to be mighty nasty for the trusts
and one time Infant industries" to
take, but is an imperative need to
establishment of the good health of
the country on permanent founda-
ton.

most difficult, dangerous and expen-
sive freight the transportation lines
have to handle. On long hauls re-
loading is frequently necessary, while
slipping and sliding of the material
is a source of constant danger.
An agreeable outcome of the con-
troversy to the consumer would be
to see the railroads jump into the
trust of the lumber barons and lay
bare its practices. The consumer
might then hope for cheaper lumber
instead of the advance in prices
which the barons will undoubtedly
put on to cover any gain, whether
fair or not, which the railroads may
make.

WHERE ELY MONEY COMES FROM

Yesterday the Nevada Northern
railroad put somewhere between
$35, 200 and $4,000 in cash-hard
coin-in circulation in this district
In the last ten days the mines and
the concentrator and smelter man
agements have put in circulation
something over $4,000 in cash. The
money has been paid out for labor
performed. Next month there will
be more paid out and every month
thereafter more and more.
We have been talking here in Ely
about the presence of cash, about
the fact that we seemed to be much
better off in the matter of ready
money, real money, than most towns
and cities of the west The county
treasurer has been telling us that tax
payments are being made freely,
coming in faster and easier, and in
cash, than last year The postoffice
tells us that they are doing an I'M
usual cash business in money or
ders The banks tell us that they
are getting in cash deposits. The
merchants tell us that they are TAX
ing coin over their counters. The
collectors tell us that they are get
ting comparatively few checks. From
the outside, however, Salt Lake, San
Francisco, Les Angeles. Reno and
where not, comes the word that there
is no coin in circulation--that every
thing is on a check basis.
Now then, Mr.. Citizen, Mr.. Bust
ness Man of Ely, what does this pres
ence of coin in Ely mean? How
does it come about when in other
places coin is in retirement?
We will tell you. The Nevada
Northern railroad management, the
mine and the smelter arrangements,
all affiliated so far as money invest
ment is concerned, brought the
money in. They went out and got it.
They hustled for it and they have
put 1t in circulation. They did not,
as they might have done, put out
checks, good as gold but short of the
prosperity making trade moving
powers possessed by real money.
They put out cash, the mines and
smelter management in large part

THAT LUMBER RATE ADVANCE

The railroads of the west and
northwest have made announcement
of an advance in freight rates on
lumber and the lumber barons have
answered with an appeal to the In
terstate Commerce commission for
help. The barons say the railroads
will ruin them if allowed to make
the advance which has been an
nounced as effective on November /.
The lumber barons have had a
long, strong pull at the public pocket
book during the last five years. Ad-
vance after advance has been made
by these gentlemen until they reach
ed the very limit that they could go
to under protection of the tariff and
still keep out foreign competition.
In the west and northwest they have
managed, through ways that have
been very largely shady, to grab enor-
nous holdings and to practically
throttle individual enterprise and
competition. 1t is not apparent
wherein they are entitled to the least
sympathy.
Whether the advance ordered by
the railroads is defensible or not, we
do not pretend to say 1t may be
simply a case of the carriers going
after theirs" or it may be move
based on actual costs of transporta-
tion and entirely fair. Lumber is the

All the evening paper wants is that
freight depot. Just a little while
back, when the Nevada Northern
sought entry to Ely all the evening
paper crowd would stand for was a
passenger station. Let the railroad
bring a freight depot into the town
and put in necessary side tracks
never. The suggestion was met with
howls of no and there was no rest
for the kickers until they got it down
in white and black on the minutes
of the meeting that the concession
of privilege, granted grudgingly, for
the railroad company to put up a
passenger depot was the extreme
limit. Consistent? Sure.
