Remarks were also made by Messrs.
Casteel, Munger, Carse, and Heagy,
during which some interesting facts
were brought out, it being shown
among other things that in the past 10
years Rock Island has expended APP
proXimatcly $4,000 for baseball over
and above the revenues received from
the games; thai during that time only
one season was there any profit to the

WESTERN PACIFIC NOW
DOWN TO BUSINESS

F. A. Wadleigh, assistant general
passenger agent of the Denver & Rio
Grande, and F. NJ hampton, assistant
general freight agent, made the trip
from Denver to the present terminus of
the Western Pacific, about 140 miles
west of Salt Lake, several days ago. 1t
is believed that the purpose of their trip
was on business connected with the op-
Grafton of trains between Salt Lake and
Bews Siding, where the Gould line con-
meets with the Nevada Northern.
Vice President Schlacks and General
Manager Ridgway have been giving this
matter considerable attention during the
last two weeks, and as the time for
making connection with the Nevada
Northern is rapidly approaching, the
time for the road to get down to bust
ness.
The graders for the Western Pacific
are within three miles of Bews Siding
The tracklayers are some distance be-
hind, but if the plans Of the high Off
Gals are carried out, rails will be laid
into Bews by August /. When the road
bed has been properly ballasted, the

Nevdda's Prosperity

Prosperity first came to Nevada
in 1850, when the Comstock lode,
at Virginia City, was discovered.
Since then the State has period
ically contributed her full share to
the output of gold, silver and lead,
and soon promises to add very
substantially to the copper pro-
duction Of the world.
In her early history, the rapid
development Of the Comstock, Of
the mines of Austin, Tuscarora,
Phoebe, White Pine and score of
other and only a little less noted
camps, gave Nevada the name of
the Silver State" Eureka added
materially to the silver production,
but it also produced lead by the
thousands of tons In the '7o's
Eureka was one of the most inn
portant lead-mining districts in the
world.
In recent years the discovery of
new and rich silver-gold district
at Tonopah once more attracted
attention to Nevada, and that at a
time when mining within the State
had dwindled for various reasons
to very unimportant industry.
1t seems strange that SO little
gold should have been found in
Nevada during the earlier years,
when the most vigorous prospect
ors and investors the West ever
saw were searching every where
for mineral, but this appears to
have been wholly accidental, for
the gold was there.
With Tonopah as new center
from which prospectors might ex
plore the country, came the dis
covery of Goldfield and later of
Bullfrog. Manhattan, Kawich,
Buckskin, Ramsey and of dozen
or more new gold camps. 1t looks
as though Mr. Roberts, Director of
the United States mint at Wash
ington. was right when he said re-
Gently, gold mining in Nevada is
only in its infancy" and that gold
production of that State during the
next few wears will show greater
increase than that of any other re-
gion Of the world.
1t is estimated that the gold pro-
duction this year will reach SIS
600. 900, while the promise for the
wears To come is most assuring. be-
cause of the many camps having
veins carrying gold, silver, copper,
lead, zinc and other minerals OF
economic Importance. Some of
these are not at present CONNER
cially available, owing to isolated
situation; but as transportation
problems are being rapidly solved,
these more isolated mines will
come within the influence of inn
proved conditions. Many places
at present held temporarily in
check by uncompletion of pro-
jected railroads, or the bringing in
of water supplies will come into
prominence and public favor.
The measure of success will be
largely determined by the real
value of the mineral deposits. but
in scarcely less degree by the com

MANY ears ago" says Representa-

Erin had the misfortune to be charged
with stealing pork. Being without
counsel the court appointed a young
sprig of the law to represent him. IT
was a poor effort made to defend the
prisoner, and the members Of the jury
without leaving their seats returned
a verdict of guilty.
The court asked the prisoner if he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. His reply
Was:

The Chinese know a lot. They know
how to make the tea, and, above all,
how to keep it hot without resorting
to setting the pot on the stove and
poisoning the drinker with tanin. And
they have given the occidentals the
tea cosey, that hoodlike cover the Eng
fish particularly affect, and padded
baskets into which the steaming tea
pot is dropped while undergoing re-
moval from fire to table. Some of the
baskets for holding precious teacups
are like boxes intended for jewels,
and should the American with a per
versity peculiar to her so desire, these
lovely woven willow antiques with
brocaded Innings might serve to hold
her fancy work and the ev%er-present

Chinese and Japanese understand the
art Of enhancing the rarely of por-
celain by placing it in a padded CELL, -
as it we're. Hence the beauty of these

The Automobile and Better Roads.

~ HhAOiilbbliG III bCANGl nNahos
Automobiling has given the good
roads movement a great impetus. II
has brought into it men from the
cities who were never far from a
paved street until they began to travel
around in their autos. They are now
the backbone Of the movement. The
farmers have learned a lot on the sub
ject and they are joining hands with
the men who once had their most COR
dial enmity. They are not only with
them on the road question, but they
are even recognizing the fact that the
automobile is a very useful vehicle.
With good roads connecting the mar
kets and the farms there is no reason
why automobile transportation for the
produce of the land may not soon fol-
low, says Pittsburg Leader. Auto
trucks are in use in all large cities
for heavy hauling and if farmers have
roads with bottoms to them they will
soon begin to take advantage of that
very efficient means of transportation.

been crippled or manned, scalded or
crushed, disfigured or i%nvalided; and
we still make no protest. For a coun-
try that has pride in itself and its
progress this seems to me a humili-
atlng situation, observes Carl Snyder
in Everybody's. But the still more hui
initiating fact is that conditions grow
worse year by year. In 1905 it was
twice as dangerous to travel on a rail
way train or to work for a railway
company in the United States as il
was IN 1895.

NEW MEXICO.

The Music Of Man and Birds.
If the discovery of Independent evo.
'utions Of human music all tending in
the same direction indicates the exist
ence Of an ideal standard toward
which progress leads, how much
stronger is the evidence afforded by
the fact that bird music is developing
along the same lines? 1t seems a far
cry from a Beethoven symphony or a
Wagnerian opera to the simple lay Of
q sparrow, but as we trace the course
Of the mighty river of music back to-.
ward its source, the stream becomes
narrower and narrower, until it is CON
tracted to a point where it is no
broader than the little rill Of bird
music, says Henry Oldys in Harper's
Magazine. Nor does the decrease
stop there; for, remarkable as it may
seem, there was a time when the
music from which ours has been
evolved was inferior to some Of that
which floats to our ears from the
woods Of spring. This is not to say
merely that the songs of certain of
the birds involve more intervals and
greater variety, but that they are of a
higher order judged by our own mod
ern standards.

The strong love of outdoor recreation, unfortunately, is not possessed
by every one; yet nature has made it a law that every one is in need, men,
tally and physically, Of relaxation in the open air. And in these times Of
dolarchasing, many of the most vital necessities of a normal human life
are being neglected.
Is it not true that the higher agencies which have been especially
effective in the refinement Of human nature have their life and influence
from rural surroundings? In my experience i have found that impress
sions which a nan receives who walks by the brooksde or in the forest
or by the seashore make him a better man and a better citizen. They lift
him above the worries of business and leach him of a power greater than
human power.
1t is unquestonably true that nearness to nature has an eevatng
influence upon heart and character. Nature is a school of all the harder
virtues. What, for instance, can impart a more effective lesson in patience
than a days fishing for the whimsical black bass?
As 1 have said on a previous occasion, the real worth and genuine
ness Of the human heart are measured best by its readiness to submit to
the influences of nature, and to appreciate the goodness of the Supreme
Power who is its Creator THIS is THE CENTRAL POINT OF MY
PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.
We need more of those odfashioned consciertou folk who adhere
10 the simple way of living and who believe that every fortune should h
earned honestly and fairly by the man who gets it.

bells on OLD HoLLAND.
Ancient Chimes That Have Delighted
the Dutch for Centuries.

From the earliest times the people
of the Netherlands have so greatly
loved their bells and chimes that the
architecture of their belfries and
steeples shows marked traces OF 1t.
Most of these are of open-work de-
sign, so that the bells might be heard
in the widest circumference, writes
The Hague correspondent of the Chi
cago Daily News. Beautiful examples
of this style can be see in the cathe-
dral towers of Utrecht and Delft. Sew
eral of the smaller towns possess even
finer specimens, either in their church
spires or in the belfries of watch tow
ers. Like the well-known belfry Of
Monnikendam, these towers generally
stood in the principal squares. The
bells we're tolled in case Of danger, to
alarm the burghers, or to call them
together for important communica-
lions. Such a tower is that of Bruges,
of which Longfellow sings:
In the market place of Bruges
Stands the belfry. old and brown.
Thrice destroyed and thrice rebuilded,
Still it watches DER the town.
In Holland there is scarcely a place
{. Importance that does not have one
or more towers with chimes. The
tunes of these are changed once or
twice a year, generally on New Years
day. This is so at The Hague and
Utrecht. Some places, however, are
not content with this and have the
tunes changed oftener. 1t is on rec
ord that in one town, which had a fine
carlton cast by the famous Hemony
in 1877, it was decreed that the tunes
should be changed every fortnight or
at least once a month, so fond were
the burghers of their bells.
In a time when clocks were by no
means general the church bells were
the t~imekeepers for the burghers. The
heavier bell struck the hours and the
lighter bell the half hours. If these
were chimes they played a tune at
noon and another at midnight, while
before the stroke of the hour or di-
vision of the hour a part of the tune
would be played.
The inscriptions on the bells are
| generally in rhyme and made to read
as if the bell itself is telling its name
and the history of its making. Hol-
land still possesses many of these
ancient bells, notably in the province
of Friesland. The earliest authenti-
Gated bell IS that of Krommenie, cast
in 1896 by Rodolphus de Montigny.
Most bells now in existence were,
however, cast in the fifteenth, six
teenth or seventeenth centuries.
The reformation brought a change
IN the naming of bells. The Catholic
saints were forsaken, and only Bibli'
cal or worldly names were allowed,
while the inscription also breathed
other views, as can be seen by COM
pairing the bells cast in the seven
teenth century with those Of earlier
date. Those on the older bells have
a purely religious significance, while
the later ones refer 20 worldly sub
jects, as, for instance, the famous bell
at Ham, which recounts in it's in
scription how it burst in 1866 "be-
cause it had too loudly pealed out its
joy at the victory Of the Dutch fleet
over the English"
