FOR LOCAL THEATRE
MIR. WILLARD'S ENGAGEMENT ~
SURE TO PROVE VERY
ENJOYABLE.

The coming attractions of Mr.. Lee

LOCAL RATHBONE SISTERS DINE
THEIR LEADER LAST
NIGHT.

A most delightful banquet was
held last night at the Merchants Ho-
tel in honor of Mrs. Theresa Audrey,
grand chief of the Rathbone Sisters.
About fifty diners sat down to the
festive board. The table was hand
somely decorated. A long wreath of
smilacs was laid along the center of
the table for its full length. At
each place was a nosegay of carna-
lions. The menu was most tempt
ing and the dishes most delicious.
During the evening many remarks
were made appropriate to the occa-
sion by those present. The diners
numbered among the prominent and
leading men and women of Tonopah.

NINA TO HAVE NEW BANK.
fspeelal 10 Bonanza.

NINA, Feb. 14.-Mina is to have
a bank. This was the decision al
rived at after a meeting of some Of
her citizens together with a confer
ence with leading bankers of Tono-
pah, Goldheld and Reno. SO rap
idly is the mining interest around
Nina developing that this move was
found to to an absolute necessity.
Steps have been taken and i%ncorpora-
ton applied for and as soon as the
articles OF incorporation are received
from the Secretary of State the in
~stitution will throw its doors open
to the public and Nina will take her
place with the other cities OF the
state in a commercial way.
The incorporators Of the bank are
J. II. Miller and ]. e. Adams Of
the firm of Miller G Adams, general
merchandise, Nina and Hawthorne;
B. F. Baker, of the Nina Hotel
Thomas Pepper. A. E. Maquest. II.
S. Mcleod, Daniel E. Storms, w. H..
Davis, and several prominent min
ing men Of this section and Tono-
pah. The institution will open up
with a capital Of 100000 and have
a banking connection with the Farm
ers and Merchants Bank Of Reno and
banks OF Tonopah and Goldfeld. All
of the parties connected with the in
stitution have been prominently con-
nected with the commercial and min
ing interests of this section for years
and have a high standing as safe
and conservative business men. This
shows most conclusiyely the rapid
growth of Nina as a business center.

The glass comes from the factory of

examination and is one of the hand

THE NOISY AUTO BACK.

After a spell of restful quiet the
quiet of Tonopah is again broken
by the temperance upon the
scene of probably the n~oisiest
auto on the desert. The Internal
machine might be considered a huge
joke were it not for the fact that
there r many horses in the city,
and their |proverbial sense cannot
perceive wherein anyone can have so
little regard for the community. As
evidence of their protest. several

through our streets unguided. The
recent edict of Judge Brissell against
concealed weapons should be extend
ed so as to cover machine guns. and
the bucolic quiet of Tonopah might
once again be restored.

In spite of the opinion Of some, railroad legislation is necessary at
this time, in fact, most desirable. We cannot understand why it is that,
when a long suffering people finally rise in their might to throw off
the shackles of some gross evil to which they have long been sub
jeded, that the cry goes forth that their liberated condition will be
much harder for them to bear than their manaeled state. We realize
that conditions in this state are different from most of the others in
the Union and we appreciate that within its W borders the conditions
of the various sections are very different. We do not wish the Legila-
ture to pass laws merely IS a n expedient for revenge, neither do we
see the logic II justice of allowing to continue conditions that are mani
testify wrong. The question Of railroads is most vital to the state, W re
admit, and the extension of the present lines and the building OF new
ones should be encouraged. We do not believe that the rights of the
people should be sacrificed. What we advocate and what We desire to
see is a railroad law that will take into consideration the conditions of
every railroad in the state, and that will see that each and every road
receives exact justice and that the people of the state are given their
just due. We have at Carson the brains to frame such a measure.
1t does not seem right to us that the people Of the state should be
compelled to submit to conditions that are admittedly wrong. Two
wrongs do not make a right There is no question that the railroads
Therefore, the plea that they be not molested at this time does not

GOOD LUCK TO INCORPORATION

Ne news is good news and the absence of advices from Carson
would seem to indicate that the question of Incorporation was meeting
with no opposition. The casual observation of the legislators on their
recent visits must have shown that something was necessary especially in
view of the deplorable condition in which they found our streets. The
question of Incorporation is not a sevenday wonder, it is something of
vital Importance and its necessity is daily apparent to every citizen of
Tonopah. The new excitements that are constantly springing up can
not overshadow the need of such a local government that presents the
latitude necessary to make the improvements that are essential to the
advancement of our community. The streets still remain in their mire-
like condition. Our fire apparatus continue to be the antiques that they
have always been. The absence of sidewalks is Is keenly felt as ever
and the wading through sticky mud still convinces that crosswalks
would be a blessing. All these comforts we are forced to forego be-
cause the Commissioners, through no fault of their own, re helpless ito
assist us. The righteousness OF calling "a full aedged city a camp is
obvious to the most benighted. Aside from the internal conditions,
Tonopah has struggled hard for pre-eminence in the state and having
achieved success it is not right to deprive it of that individuality to
which it is entitled. Therefore, W e say, good luck to the incorporation

to the shaft the property is being

blocked out gives the property the

competent to judge, owing to the
well defined lodges, that it will dis
count that property.

A CALL TO ARMS

About January 80 Southern Pacific
Railroad officials requested a confer
ence with a committee OF citizens to
adjust differences, promising to set
a date for the hearing
On February 5 ten out OF. seven
teen Senators killed a bill which
would have given the people of Ne
vada power to investigate railroad
charges, their foundation, discrmina-
ton and justice.
On February 10 the traffic man
ager of the Southern Pacific Nevada
lines showed himself Indifferent to
a conference.
What caused this change Of atti-
tude?
Not n of the Senators on record
against the bill advanced a single
valid reason for their voting.
The railroad is so certain of CON
trolling the Legislature that the con-
duct of its representatives and lob
byists at Carson is insolent.
The railroad attitude sums up as
follows:
We've got you in u grip! You
can't do without us; we own the bal
ance of power in your Legislature;
in our grip you stay. What are you
going to do about it,"
Two Senators voting with the peo-
pie can change the situation.
Shall Nevada continue suffering
because of some Senators serving the
railroads?
There are three ways to bring way
ward legislators into the fold.
One is to argue the subject with
them, appeal to their conscience, rea
son, patriotism, duty to their con
~stituents.
The second is to donate a purse
heavier than the lobbyists will offer.
The third is to stand over them
with a s~ix-shooter until after the vote
is cast.
This is not baying at the moon.
This talk is directed at you-read-
ing these lines at this moment.
1t is directed at you, merchant,
shipper, miner, laborer, clerk, be-
cause it is a movement to save you
money.
Do you know that in many in
stances Nevada pays twice as much
as San Francisco for goods shipped
from Chicago?
How many pounds of things-food
and clothes and fuel and furniture
and everything else-do you buy
daily? How many pounds will it
average per year?
Figure out how much you would
save per year individually with
freights Is cents per hundred less!
Consider 100, 900 people in Nevada
and estimate the aggregate saving.
The millions would be available
for e~nriching the people of Nevada,
instead of sending them away to en-
rich railroad millionaires.
The merchant could sell more and
better goods at lower prices and
make more money.
The Workingman could get more
wholesome food and occasional lux
uries.
New enterprises and industries
would be established enriching the
state permanently, making low grade
mines valuable and profitable to en-
ploy labor for working them, Great
ing a. larger field and higher wages
for labor, increasing the value OF
your homesteads.
If you have children. they could
stay and grow with the state and
have opportunities to succeed, be-
cause with the introduction of just
railroad rates the blight will be re-
moved and Nevada will grow rapidly.
