continue to produce just the same.
And the camp is now on milling

there is a camp that they can't stop

The hank situation Is improving

sary To add another man to the stan.
and ne enters upon his duties this
morning.
There Is more money in the city
than there has been since the IN
ancial furry began. There was not
the great outpouring OF money that
was expected after payday In fact.
the amount that is being sent away
to foreign countries has been steadily
decreasing all the time for the past
few months. Between the postoffice
and the express company there was
sent away on Monday about SIS, 900.
On Tuesday there was not half that
amount went out. and yesterday
there was as much money shipped in
as was sent out.
Signatures to the agreement of the
State Bank and Trust company have
not been coming in for the past few
days, for the reason that the major
ity of those remaining to sign are cot
of town. Cashier Cusman says that
it is expected that there will be at
least 80 per cent of the depositors
sign up, and that the bank will be
opened when that percentage has
been signed up. The quicker the
depositors sign" said Mr.. Cushman
the quicker the bank will be open
ed, and the quicker the depositors
will get their money"
The indications are that instead Of
taking year to pay the depositors
that they will all be paid within g
very few months after the bank has
opened. The depositors are signing
in Goldfield in very satisfactor,
shape, according to the reports which
reach here.

at Washington. 1t is understood
that it is the intention of the depart
ment to place an officer at Tonopah
for the better accommodation of the
people here. AT present, your Of
ficer is located at Austin. Mr.. Bar
nett, who is now deputy, will shortly
be the forest supervisor, having
charge over the Toiyabe, Toquima
and Monitor reserves, all three of
which | think are in Nye and Lander
counties. The forests of the United
States are under the jurisdiction of
the forest service bureau of the de-
partment of agriculture.
Steps are to be taken to survey
and plainly mark all the boundary
lines of your three national forests,
in order to avoid question as to
where the land lies. 1t has been i'm
possible to send as many forest Of
ficers as are required into the field,
which in measure accounts for the
lack of general information on the
score of national forests. Mr. Bar
nett's visit is principally to effect
settlements with parties who have
unknowingly cut wood within the ma
tional forest boundaries. There will
be no penalty attached to the settle
ments, besides paying for the wood
| that has been taken. The people
have done the work are called limo

'All the proceeds from the use oil
the national forests go into the
United States treasury. Ten per cent
of all such proceeds are annually
turned over to the county where the

any money. When a claim has beer

FOREST RESERVE
OFFICERS HERE
EXPLAIN by WHAT MEANS WE
CAN CUT AND HAUL
WOOD.

At last we are finding out what the
national forests mean, and by what
means we can cut wood and haul it
from the public domain. David Bar
nett, deputy forest supervisor, ac-
companied by M. J. McVean of the
Washington Office of the forest serv-
ice, have been here for several days.
Mr. Barnett has for the object of
his visit, the settlement with those
who have transgressed in the pre-
scincts of the reserve.
The principal transgressor hap
pens to be. the Tonopah United Water
company, for it is claimed that they
have been getting all their wood for
the plant at Rye Patch from the
government reserves and not paying
anything to Uncle Sam for the wood.
There should be ''stumpage" at the
rate of $3.50 cord. How many
cords that that stumpage may be due
upon, it is impossible to say, but
there has been technical seizure of
the wood now on hand. The wood Is
being used just the same, for if ii
were not our water supply would be
discontinued.
National forests, said Mr.. Nc
Vean, were established early this
spring, under the authority confer
red on the president by the act Of
March 3, 1891. to reserve public
yands for the care and protection of
the timber thereon,
THE forests are created to pre-
serve a perpetual supply of timber
for home industries, to prevent de-
struction of the forest cover which
regulates the flow of streams, and tc
protect local residents from unfair
competition in the use of forest and
range. They are patrolled and pro
tected at government expense for the
benefit of the community and the
home builder.
The principal question of import
ance to this section is the wood bus
mess. Under the regulations. limit
ed amounts of timber can be secured
free by bona fide settlers, miners
residents and prospectors for fire
wood, building, mining and other do
mestic purposes. To others beside
those mentioned, the wood will b
sold in limited quantities by tn
government
For instance, a man with claim
can use any wood that may happe
to be there, for whatever purpose h
may desire in the way of developin
his claim; but he must not haul
on the claim. If anyone else desire
to purchase any amount up to $1Ot
he can do SO from the forest reserv
supervisor; if he wants more tina
that amount he must make apple;

prices are not due to, go low. Rasp-
berries dropped a peg at retail yester-
day but wholesale prices remain the

Tomatoes are weaken ng as the

Apricots are another addition to the
recent market. At $3.50 per crate the

are as yet small, the main crop being

Muskmelons for the high livers are
on the market at $2.75 Wholesale Re-

WHY We ARE so SPLENDID

ing Reasons for Boosting

Americans have always been accused
of Dragging. in fact of claiming almost
everything in sight, and that nowhere
on earth could the exact equal of the
country, its people or its resources be
found. Statistics seem TO give ground
for many Of the claims. if they do not
give reason for a little more shouting
from hOusetops.
According to the reports in 1900 the
government gave the size of the Unit
ed States as S27,S44 square miles, with
a population of 5.30S,4S3. In 1905 the
population had grown to S4154,OO9.

J. w. Lewis is Thrown Out of Buggy
On Alder Street.

j. w. Lewis, CPS Locust street, re-

by being thrown from his buggy on
Alder street in front of the Drumheller
store. yesterday afternoon shortly at
Ter o'clock.
At the time of the accident Mr..
Lewis was sitting in his buggy. An
italian gardener attempted to turn
around a team and wagon. which was
directly behind Mr.. Lewis. The hub Of
the wagon caught in one of the back
wheels of the buggy, overturning it
and throwing Mr.. Lewis out. The
overturning of the buggy frightened
the horse which. with a lunge. broke
the harness and started wildly up AL
der street. running up nearly to the
Walla Walla hospital before being
stopped
Mr.. Lewis was taken to his home.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

BY local applicati tons, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure DEAFNESS
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining of tne
Eusta chan Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is EN-
tirely closed. deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of 10
are caused by Catarrh, which is notn-
ing but an inf'amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

BIG CROP OF PEACHES
AND APPLES ASSURED

The peach and apple crop is late this
year in the Yakima valley, owing to the
cold spring and late rains. but it will

The peaches will begin to move about
July II and early apples will not be
many days behind.
Sunnyside, Zillah, Wapato. Topper
ish and all other points in that sec
ton report peach trees fairly grooming
with fruit and the Orchardists are
looking for splendid year. Indications
in the east are thai prices will be un-

ern buyers are trying in vain to make
contracts ahead of the
shipping season. Nearly all of the fruit
will be marketed on commission this
year.

may tend to stimulate activity. If the
weather continues favorable and crop
prospects improve as generally in July
as they did in June, we may look for
more active and still higher market,
especially should funds return from the
interior and assist in rebuilding local
bank reserves. There is nothing in the
present situation to warrant further
distrust and in the absence of unfavor-
able Developments the outlook is for
better prices. At the same time we
have already had a considerable rise
