In another column of this issue OF
the Silver State News will be found
the itinerary Of the Commission on
Country Life, recently appointed by
President Roosevelt.
The commission is scheduled to reach
Reno, the only Nevada city which i.
will visit, on December l. 1t will
listen to suggestions by the farmers OF
Nevada as to their legislative needs,
and it is probable that when the gentle
men have completed their trip that q
report will be submitted to congress,
outlining the requirements of the diff
ferent states they have visited.
This action on the part of the presi-
dent is a new departure of an expert
mental character, and the final result
will be watched with interest. Hereto
fore laws Of a national character have
only been secured by petitioning repre-
~sentatives in congress, and results have
necessarily been slow, and in many
cases disappointing. If the new PLAZA
will serve to expedite the granting Of
needed federal legislation, without
doubt it will meet with general APP

that the paper has been sold by George
l.. Sanford to Messrs. James L. Shaw

Department of the Interior, General

14th, 1908.
To the Editor of the Silver State

Sir:-Several special agents are now
working in Nevada, under the direction
of M. D. McEnirny, chief of the field
division of the general land office, of

complaints that have been received by

segregated by the Central Pacific rail

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION

AT last accounts Prosecutor Frances
j. Heney, of San Francisco, was in a
fair way to recover from the effects of
the would-be assassin's bullet. The
man who attempted the cowardly muir
der, however, committed suicide by
means of a pistol he had secured in
some unaccountabie manner
Haas, the man who fired the shot,
claimed that he did SO for the reason
that Mr.. Heney had exposed the fact
that he was an e~x-convict, after he
had been passed as a juror in a former
graft trial. This is no doubt true, it
being improbable that Ruef or any OF
his accomplices were cognizant of the
crime.
Should Mr.. Heney recover, without
serious or permanent injury, the peo-
pie of San Francisco will have reason
for congratulation that the shooting
occurred. Ruef, Schmitz, Glass, Cal
houn, ct al, more than two years ago,
were discovered to have been carrying
ON a carnival of crime and corruption,
which included designation, seduction,
bribery, theft, embezzlement, and we'll
nigh every other crime known to the
d~ecalogue, at which the whole world
stood aghast. Even money and supplies
sent by the sympathetic citizens of
other states to relieve the people from
the effects of one of the greatest calam-
tiles known to history, were ruthlessly
perverted from their legitimate desti-
nation, and were sacrificed to the in
satiable greed of the heartless ~looters.
But it seems that the people were so
overwhelmed by the greater catastro-
phe, and were so busted in attempting
to repair its effects, that they lost sight
of the lesser evil, and had sunk into a
complete state of apathy and indiffer-
ence as to the outcome of the prosecu-
tions.
But the shot fred by the man Haas
has awakened them from their lethargy,
and the indications are that the thieves
will now be given swift justice. The
which is as immutable as the move
ments of the planets, has finally inter
vened to save the fair name of a great
city.

RAILROAD PATENTS TO
BE INVESTIGATED

In its issue of October "a the Silver
State News printed an interview with
Col. Wingfeld Scott Proskey, taken
from the Reno Gazette, calling atten-
ton to the fact that unless mine
owners took immediate action to pro-
tect their rights, that their claims
would be forfeited to the railroad com
pany.
The publicity given the matter by the
press of the state has borne quick
fruit. The subject has been taken up
by the general land office, and in
another column of this issue appears a
communication from MI. ID. J. Lawton, a
special agent of the general land office,
advising mine-owners as to their proper
course of procedure in the premises.

LONE HIGHWAYMAN HOLDS

A lone highwayman Sunday morning
entered the Coffin & Gruber house at
Hazen, and standing the inmates of the
barroom in a line against the wall at
the point of a pistol, compelled one of
them to rife the cash register, give him
the proceeds and then made good his
escape after taking a hat from one of
the men in the room. The robber Sc
cured about $50 in gold and left some
jewelry and a sack containing ten
twenty-dollar gold pieces.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

threatened, for a time, the peace and

have rewarded the toll of the farmers.
Our mines have poured forth a steadv
stream of the precious metals for the
enrichment of our people and the bless
ing Of mankind. Our state is constant
ly and rapidly growing in population
and wealth and we have within N
boundaries less of extreme poverty
than any other state in the American
Union.
Now, therefore, /. D. s. Dickerson.
lieutenant and acting governor of the
state of Nevada, in conformity with
the proclamation of the president of thc
United States, do hereby designate as
a day of general thanksgiving Thurs
day, the Goth of this present Novem-
Der, and do urge and recommend that
throughout the state the people cease
from their wonted occupation, and az

God for the blessings received in the
past and prayers for a continuation of
those blessings has become an unwrlt
