HELP OURSELVES.

We Americans are looked upon by
other nationalities as a commercial
people whose successes in money
making. with the natural advantages
and assistance of a new land, has
made money-mad.
That wealth of vast proportions is
our only dream, our aim and object
to the disbarment and destruction OF
all longing for a study of the nobler
sentiments of life.
In the east such an accusation is
far from correct at the present time
and the day is fast approaching when
the west will make even more rapid
strides than they in the cultivation
of the aesthetic side of Americans
Life in a small western mining
camp is decidedly crude, and in but
few instances have the residents OF

their race after fortune to provide
themselves with surroundings that
would be congenial to religiously in

Sunday the corner stone of St
Bartholomew Episcopal church will
be laid in Ely and the work OF con.
structing the first Protestant church
in this section of Nevada will have
begun.
Many years ago, when Nevada was
experiencing her first boom, several
inhabitants of White Pine county that
had been reared in the Episcopal
faith, decided that their lives and the
lives of their neighbors would be bet
ter lived if they could have the en-
yironments Of church surroundings
out here in the great desert.
1t was no easy task that they pro.
posed, the establishment of a church
amidst the rush and crush of such {
town as Hamilton was in those days
but with perseverance and determi
nation they went at it.
Doubtless few OF the eastern elder
of the Protestant faith would hay,
rested easy had they known of The
tainted money that was used in the
building of the first church For
what is a well-known fact among the
men of the west, those elements that
are considered directly opposed to al
that tends to Christianity are the
ones who first realize the need Of
church institution in a community
and they were the ones, the gambler:
and liquor dealers, who made the
construction of that first church pos
sible.

CHILEAN RAILROADS.
Why They are Inferior 10 Those of

reason is that the railroads of the

there have been great changes since

verdict of felonious killing at the
hands of Wilson. 1t is alleged that

ing, will be held as accompices. They
as well as Wilson. are now in the

The testimony Of John Davis, father
of the dead man, was to the eject
that Wilson and the two Murray
brothers had just returned from Mead
and had just stepped out of the buggy
when they met Davis. According to
the old mans testimony one OF the
Murray boys said to Wilson: Now is
your chance. Get him now"
Upon this. DAVIS says, Wilson COM

shot, which was fired into his abdo-
men. Two other shots were fired, one
taking effect in the hip and the other

cones at the top of the towers at the
Itation at Morien an operator was In
communication with the wireless sta
ton at Manila The message received
was that the American cruiser Phlla-
delphia has arrived there. The Mar
conf people account for the occurrence
by the theory that the cone at Manila
must have been In perfect tune with
that at Morien.
The message from Manila was
picked up" while being sent to some
other station on the Pacific or to a
war vessel. The message was recorded
at the time by an operator in the re-
ceiving room at the Marconi station.
At the time the experts were expert
menting in an effort u receive mes
sages from Ireland. They received
several messages from the Irish sta
ton and were in the act OF making
further tests when the instruments re-
corded the arrival of the Philadelphia

The Marconi people say that no mis-
take was made and that the message
was undoubtedly sent by the Manila
station, which is about 1900 miles
distant, and that as a result expert
ments with the stations in the East
