at regular intervals by crevices barred
with bronze. There was but one en-
trance.
Kenkenes was led through the doors,
down low rooted, narrow stone
walled corridor to the room Of the
governor Of police.
The governor Of police was absent,
but his vice, who was jailer and scribe
IN one, sat in chair behind the great
table
When the party entered he sat UP,
undid a new scroll, wetted the reed
pen in the pigment, and was ready.

side. Understanding at last that the
gl1est wished to be fed. he staggered
sleepily through a door and, presently
reaDpearing, signed Kenkenes to enter.
The room into which the young sculp-
tor was conducted was too large to be
lighted by the two lamps, hung from
hooks. one at each end OF the cham
Der. Down either side, hidden in the
shadows. We're long benches, and from
the huddled heap that occupied the full
length Of each it was to be surmised
that men were sleeping on them.
Above them the Slated blinds had been
withdrawn from the small windows
and the morning breeze was blowing
strongly through the chamber. At the
upper end was another table similar to
the one in the outer room except for I
napkin ip the middle with bottle Of
water set upon it. An Egyptian wom-
an stood beside this table and gave the
Young man a wooden stool.
AS Kenkenes walked toward the seat
a stronger blast of wind puffed out the
light above his head The woman
climbed up to take the lamp down and
set it on the table while she relighted
it. The skirt CT her dress caught on
the top of the stool she had mounted
and pulled it over on the wooden floor
with sharp sound.
One of the sleepers stirred at the
noise and turned over. Presently he
sat up.
Kenkenes righted the stool and sat
down on it, the light shining in his
face. He saw the guest in the shadow
shake off the light covering and walk
swiftly through the door into the outer
chamber.
Meanwhile the silent woman served
her guest with cold baked waterfowl,
endives, cucum bers, wheat bread and
grapes and a weak white vine Ken
kenes ate deliberately and consumed
all that was set before him. When be
had made an end, he paid his reckon
ing to the woman and returned into the
outer chamber
At the doors he was confronted by
four members of the city constabulary
and Nubian in a striped tunic.
"Seize him. the Nubian cried. In
stantly the four men flung themselves
upon Kenkenes and pinioned his arms.
NAY, by the gods,' he exclaimed an
grily, what mean you?"
eParley not with him." the Nubian
said IN excitement. "Get him in bonds
stronger than the grip of hands. He Is
muscled like bull

Nubian. He had seen him before

TOTE FAIR, GENTLEMEN.

The EXpositor passes the answer
of the Nevada Northern railroad to
the Meloy complaint with reference
only to the declaration of the rail-
road that there is not room available
in Ely for the establishment of a
freight depot and yard facilities nee
essary. In it's comments the evening
paper in substance declares the con-
tention of the railroad in this re-
spect to be untrue.
The News has no direct interest in
this matter, further than that it be-
lieves in fairness at all times to all
people, the laborer and the merchant
as well as the corporation. Treated
fairly, the latter as a general rule
can be depended upon to do the
square thing on its part, a course
that We deem it the duty of the peo-
pie and the newspapers of every COM
munity to put forth effort to assist,
for the reason that it is organized
capital that opens every country and
makes for general prosperity, just as
rightly conducted properly treated
organizations of labor is to general
advantage.
The attitude of the Expositor is
not fair, as the intelligence of the
writer of the comment of yesterday
must advise him full well. Leaving
from consideration the fact that the
railroad is assailed with litigation to
the end that it be forbidden the use
of the street it now occupies with
single track, the fact that 1t is be-
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-11-05

ing sued for damages because of the
use of this street and the fact that
it frankly sets forth in its answer
that other trackage in the town of
Ely would endanger life and limb be-
side occasioning property owners loss
and large inconvenience through con-
demnation proceedings, it remains
true that there is not the room in
Ely for tracks necessary to freight
depot. The Expositor writer cites
the Southern Pacific at Reno, where
he asserts this road manages to make
an acre do for freight depot and
yard purposes. We believe he has
measured considerably short, but
granting an acre is sufficient on a
fiat at Reno there is nothing in that
to cause us to believe that an acre
so shaped as to afford the same track
facilities is available here in mar
row canyon.
The statement of the Nevada
Northern appealed to us as a remark
ably frank and straightforward ex-
position of facts, and comments on
the streets yesterday and Sunday
added strength to our opinion in this
regard. Let us treat it as such, gem
tlemen of the press. Don't bubble.
If you can find honest, fair grounds
for criticism, go ahead. But tote
fair. The Nevada Northern has put
you in touch with the world, is do
ing big things for you and has still
bigger plans ahead. Put petty preju-
dices aside and deal frankly and hon
estly.

In The News of yesterday morning
it is announced that A. Vatican has
acquired control of that paper,
which announcement came day
late. as the Record had published the
modified fact as an exclusive the day
before. The Record vouches for Cap
tain Vatican, says there is nothing
especial the matter with him, and
Judge Leonard knew him in the
southern country. The two have ev-
identity formed compact. agreeing
not to tell all they know about each
others records among the Greasers,
combining their exchange of compli-
ments to vague generalities. The
News already indicates one thing
quite clearly; that its former owners
figured that in inducing Captain Val
jean to acquire CONTROL" it's utter
ances would have more weight, so far
as local controversies are concerned,
than prior to that alleged transfer
of control. Whether or not they are
correct in that diagnosis of the NAL
ady, time alone will tell; but there
is no law against free born Ameri-
can citizen harboring a doubt to the
Captain Vatican to Ely.-EXpositor.
The note of kindness in your greet
ing, Major Connella, quite disarms
us. But here now, we having brought
out the truth of Pink's real rank as
an Arizona dyed in the wool colonel
from the headwaters of the Hasa
yampa, and the whole Ely newspaper
fraternity now being elevated to mil
itary honors, let's follow the army
code, under which we may not dis
pute the veracity of each other. We
know it is going to be hard to get
along with Leonard in this respect
at times, and that he will often oc-
casion us to blush in public, but let's
try it. We ought not to have to
serve documentary evidence on each

REPORT OF LATE NATE Rolf

The report of the late Nate Rolf
to Governor Sparks upon conditions
as he found them in the state in his
capacity as auditor demands the at
tention and earnest consideration of
every taxpayer of Nevada. The re-
port is printed in another column of
this issue of The News and is COM
mended to the eye and brain of every
reader of the paper.
Mr.. Roff's successor will without
doubt find much in the report of his
predecessor which will help him in
bringing about recommended reforms
which are needed in the state. OF
reforms The News has some in mind,
particularly with regard to general
taxation regulations and laws as af-
fecting mining and mining corpora
tions, which it shall bring up later
to the end of securing changes dur
ing the next legislative session which
it believes will carry large advantage
to all the people through establish
ing condition of affairs calculated
to draw larger investments to the
state, rather than to hold them off,
as the present lax laws do, which
Mr.. Rolf very plainly intimates in
several instances.
That life and further public SER
vices were not spared for Mr.. Rolf
is made more clearly a calamity to
the state through the giving out of
his first and last report on the con-
dition of affairs which it had become
his official business to examine into
The report tells better than words
might of the upright, honorable and
fearless character of the man so sud
denly summoned from earthly duties

Let Railroads Make Money!

Meanwhile the railroads OF the
country continue to do a large and
f1ourishing business although their
net profits are diminished by reason
of the growth of their fixed charges
in all directions. Railroads when
fairly run for the public and for
their stockholders ought to make
money, SO that they may be kept in
a state OF high efficiency. Whether
or not the 2-cent passenger rate that
so many States have adopted is really
reasonable or not, it was in our
opinion very unstatesmanlike to
force that issue during this past year.
1t was right to drive the railroads
out OF their old-time control OF State
politics. 1t was also right to oblige
them to discontinue the improper
distribution of free passes. Again it
was right to use every means how
ever drastic, to compel them to
abandon the old system of rebates
and determinations. 1t was right
to compel them to use safety appli-
ances and thus to prevent the slaugh-
ter of their own employees and the
wrecking OF passenger trains. 1t was
right to enforce better systems of
railroad accounting, and more thor
ough publicity in respect to all BRAN
ches Of railroad financiering and OPP
GRAFTON. 1t was right to improve tax
laws and strengthen commissions
But these things constituted a sutfi-
Gent program for the present; and it
was not at all advisable to adopt
arbitrary legislation that could be
construed as an attempt to prevent
the railroads from making money.
So far as most States are concerned,
the 2-cent fare laws will probably so
increase local passenger traffic as not
tocurtail appreciably the earnings of
the roads. But the subject is one that
could have been fairly postponed; and
in our judgment the 2-cent laws will
have proved themselves premature
and therefore more harmful than ben
eficial.-From "The Progress of the
World" in the American Review Of
Reviews for October.
