pany, asked tall, dark compleXioned,
smooth faced young man wearing a.
dark checked suit and black derby
hat, what he had in the line of gas
tanks. AS an answer he demonstrated
the ''Never out" lamp after which he
presented me with catalogue and his
card, which had the name u. G. Coch-

bottom.
At the office of the Wayne Auto COM
pany, No. 1903 South Main street, I
bothered a short dark compleXioned
chap with a smooth face, who was in
charge of the store, long enough to dis
cover the price for storing a Wayne
automobile. He regretted the fact that
he had no garage, but declared that
as soon as the machine arrived in this
city he would be glad to lend me a
hand in its unloading.
He gave me a card with the name
Bennett engraved on 1t.
over at the office of II. o. Harrison
company, No. 1914 South Main street,
I met a short, dark compiexioned,
smooth faced young man, whose name
1 discovered later was IN. C. Barker"
said he had no place to store Peer
less car, which l declared would arrive
in this city within few days, but sug-
gested that I carry his card next door,
where he was quite sure 1 could get
what ! was after.
Going next door to No. 1918 South
Main street. ! repeated my query to a
young lady bookkeeper in charge of
the office, who referred me to Mr.. Lee,
whom found in the rear of the store.
Mr.. Lee said he could take care of the
car very nicely for SIT a month.
Walking back to the Office of the
Tourist Auto company l asked a tall
smooth faced, dark complexioned man,
whom 1 suppose was one of the sales
men, what sort of a gas tank I should
buy for a Tourist car. He replied that
he was sorry that he could not give
me the information, as the auto man
was out, but added that if l would
wait few moments the manager would
return. After waiting five minutes 1
left the place, picking up a catalogue as
l passed out.

NOT MUCH OF A SHOWER.

What is called financial panic in
these times is the merest trife COM
pared with the real thing such as
came to pass in 1857. At that time
the currency was issued by state and
private banks and carried no govern
ment guaranty whatever. In those
days a citizen scanned the news to
see if the bank notes in his pocket
were good or not Wildcat currency
was plentiful. its discount varying
from day TO day, so that the business
man had to calculate how much his
daily receipts would be shaved by the
brokers Not a tenth part of the
paper money was at par, and the en-
tire issue of bank was frequently a
total loss. Fifty years ago the credit
OF the United States was by no means
gilt edged, judged by the heavy in
terest rate it was required to pay.
The government was not in a posi-
| ton to be of much help in the crisis.
The people struggled through the
general crash as best they could.
In 1857 many banks closed and
their depositors lost practically all.
They also lost such currency as they
| held from broken banks of issue. In.
| finitely better is the situation now
Not a single depositor is known to
have suffered any loss recently. Ev-
eery dollar of the currency passes un-
questioned at full gold value.

There is not a so-cailed dry town,

that is not full of disreputable re-
sorts where the traffic is carried on

Gator of sneaks, and a breeder of

yada Northern answer to the COM
plant of Mr.. Meloy and others re-
main intact They demonstrate

TONERS before the railroad commits
sion would have them do without
placing itself in position as an ever
present menace to the life and limb
of people who are constantly obliged
to move from one side of the town
to the other, nor without bringing up
a large amount of litigation through
condemnation proceedings. which
would not only make for much le-
gal expense on both sides but also
greatly damage the realty values of
Ely.
Can it be that in their urgency in
this matter, the organized kickers,
who falsely allege themselves to be
representative of the people of Ely,
have deep and dark plot under
their vests? Are they ribbing up
in conjunction with shysters
litigation on legs, arms and lives and
on realty actions for damages at the
expense of the Ely public? In no
such deal would we for a minute pre-
sumo that our evening contemporary
would knowingly have part. But it
does look TO US as If il were being

KANSAS AND NEVADA.

Colonel Bent Murdoch of Ell Dora
do, Kansas, sold a drove of hogs the
other day, from which he realized
s2,750. He went to the bank and
fished the big roll of greenbacks out
of his boot and rendered it to the
cashier of the bank, with a deposit
slip.
What do you want to do with
that money!" asked the cashier.
Il want to deposit it here said
Colonel Murdoch.
I'VE can't do anything for YOU
said the cashier. Our vault is so
full that We have to jump on the
money at night to force it into the
vaults. We can't take your money"
Well said Colonel Murdock, per-
suasively as he drew a IA calibre re-
volver and leveled it at the cashier,
you'd better hire a heavier man to
'tromp' on that money, and put mine
with the rest
The cashier accepted the deposit.
That's the way it is in Nevada.
Instead of it being little bunch Of
hogs that are sold, on which few
paltry hundreds of dollars are real
lied, the people OF Nevada are TAX
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
out of the ground in virgin gold. in
copper, in lead and silver. The gold
and silver come ready for coinage.
The lead and copper are ready for
commerce-and the land is not i'm
poverished by constant cultivation.
The banks are full of money, and
the vaults are bigger than they make
them in Kansas.
It's better to live in Nevada than
in Kansas, anyway.

AS TO WHERE THE BLAME RESTS

The Expositor has fallen to SWIVEL
ing in this Nevada Northern business.
1t tells US now that all the bicker-
ing that has been had is the other
fellows fault, that the organized
kickers didn't start it but they, poor
devils, have been bounded and per-
secuted from the start. 1t is the
licked school boys attitude at home
in mothers arms after the teacher
has administered a deserved drub-
bling.
To get at the facts in the case,
We have been at some pains to look
over the files of newspaper publica-
tions in the district since the COM
ing of the railroad and the other
large interests which have dumped
millions in here to make for devel-
opment, growth, high property values
and prosperity where there was be-
fore their coming nothing put a
brave though struggling pork and
beans prominence. In these files we
find that the kickers have been busy
from the beginning and that they as
sert that which is not true when
they take the stand that the other
fellow started anything other than
the lease on the life of prosperity
which commenced with his coming
On the other hand, the interests
which have made the district in the
last few years, by the incontroyertible
evidence of the newspaper files, have
been busy attending to their own af-
fairs, pushing along as rapidly as pos
sible on the live and let live trail.
Let's all get onto it. There is room
and plenty for everybody in the dis
trict. The growth bound to come up
in the next few years will make the
petty attitude of the kickers toward
any particular division of the camp
of today look absurd. Pulling to-
gether this growth, bound to come,
can be made faster than with pres
ence of discord, even If it is small
and definitely branded. Eliminate it,
gentlemen, and help with progress
along fair lines. Put your shoulders
squarely in the collars, drop side is
sues and jump in for results for the
whole district, and resultant benefits
in big, liberal measure for every
body.

Steptoe valley is one of the most
extensive of the world 1t has length
of more than 1900 miles, through
which it is said railroad can be built
with grade of one-half per cent. The
day will come when dry farming
methods will bring a great part of
this splendid valley under cultiva-
ton. The products of its rich soil
will sustain the mining districts of
the state beside sending abroad in
the country large surplus which
will bring back gold for our greater
prosperity. Much of this great val
ley will be tributary to Ely. Big are
the things which we have to look
forward to here, not only as a great
mining and smelling center but as a
trade points for a vast agricultural
region as we'll.

The dry farming congress which
will be held in Salt Lake City this
winter should be productive of a
great deal of good for Nevada. Mil
lions of acres in the state are open
to profitable cultivation under dry
farming methods. On a recent trim
over the lines of the Salt Lake rail-
road and of the Tonopah & Tidewater
railroads in the southern part of the
state, the writer found the system
being worked successfully in a small
way as beginning, at several places
in the desert. One man, Mr.. Rasor of
Rasor station on the Tidewater, has
homesteaded 100 acres on which he
is experimenting successfully with
the growth of California eucalyptus
trees, with the view of marketing
them at maturity for railroad ties.
Cut off close to the ground the eu-
calyptus sprouts and grows up again.
Along the Nevada Northern there are
hundreds of thousands OF acres of
valley land better adapted 10 such
purpose and to general dry farming
than the lands along the TideUater
Built for traffic of the mining indus
try, the Nevada Northern will some
day find its business from agricul-
tural development a big item of in
