DOWIE, THE
HUMAN ROCKET

Old man Dowie played his
bluff to the last. No one could
successfully dispute his claim that
he was really the reincarnated
Elijah.
He had magnetic power enough
to heal some diseases in some
persons; he knew that a sucker
was born somewhere every min
ute, and that a good bluff would
catch fair ratio of them. He
did thriving business so long
as his physical strength held out.
He had enough of the raven
feeding in his other carnation;
in this life he preferred the
solid dollars. At one time he
had SIS, 900, 900 that he had gath
cred from his dupes, and carried
things with a high hand until
his strength began to fail and
those near him wanted dividends.
He was like that animal that has
either to climb or crawl. While
he could climb, he was all right;
when he began to crawl, he was
a sorry spectacle. Salt Lake

New Railroad Commission

Lincoln county has been side
tracked again. This time in
representation on the railroad
commission. We cannot under
stand why, but it seems to be
the invarible rule that no matter
what claims this county may
have, when it comes to a matter
of getting representation we are
passed up.
In making appointments for
the commission, mileage or sec
ton most likely to need the SER
vices of such commission must
certainly not have been taken
into consideration. Claims of
representation for Lincoln county
were based upon the fact that
we have a greater mileage than
any other county in the state OF
Nevada. That Lincoln county
is the only county in the state
touched by the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake railroad
that any differences to be ad.
justed between it and the state
of Nevada, will be differences
more directly concerning the
people of this county than of any
other.
We are not attempting to crit
icise the personal of the com
mission, believing them all to b,
honorable, straightforward ant
intelligent men, but we wish t,
add that Lincoln county also ha.
numerous straightforward, hon
orable and intelligent men, AM
from among them should hav
been numbered a member of tn
commission.
We have a strong suspicion
that in the making of the ap
pointments the mileage was nc
so strongly looked to as the ex
tent of the registrar lists of othe
counties.
