THE WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE.
Much good will result from the con-
ference now being held between Pres
ident Roosevelt and governors and rep
resentative men from every state AID
territory iii the union. In many respects
the conference is the most notable n
the history of the United States 1t is
the first time in history that the COVER
nOrs of the various states have met in
convention with the president of tn
United States. The conservation of = :
national resources is a matter that de-
mands immediate attention and this is
Roosevelt's invitation TO the governors
and representatives of the various
states, has been accepted in almost
every instance, showing that the big
men of the country are fully alive to
The wasteful use of the national re-
sources.
The conference is taking on wider
scope than was first intended AmOn.;
subjects and important ones too, up for
discussion, are universal divorce laws,
care ard segregation of persons af-
hicted with tuberculosis and a univer-
sal agreement fer the treatment OF
cattle With tuberculosis. The health OF
the nation is fully as important as the
conservation of the forests. minerals
md coal Or the improvement of the i'll
land waterways as each is necessary
unto the other. The conference will
awaken the nation to the many dangers
that threaten its future existence and
will give start to Legislation needed
to overcome these dangers.

DO CATASTROPHES TEACH
LESSONS?

Ri, fire disasters should have the ef-
feet of graduating fire traps. Every
oraa+ fire brings its grist of stories Of
towns which are in a similar plight 70
the one visited by the horror, says c.
ment Age. But few months ago a ca
tastrophe occurred in Montreal by
which dozens of school children be-
came victims of the fire fiend. Through
out the American daily press it was
said: I'VE must have fireproof schools
The Montreal disaster was an example.
How MANY school trustees needed it?
1t would be interesting to know the
number of schools which have been re-
modelled or rebuilt as the result of the
lesson then learned. More than one
hundred and fifty children lost their
lives at Colinwood a suburb of Cleve-
land, O. Why? Because, when a fire
broke out it was found that the build
ing was nothing less than nretrap.
1t was insufficiently provided with es-
capes 1t had two exits, one of which
at the critical hour, was found to be
barred And the fire department of the
village was unable to cope with the sit
uatiOn. Taking this and thousand
other Instances as examples, the civil
lization of America. in these matters,
anyway. has scarcely stepped beyond
the border line of barbarism. No sweep
ing reform can be made in few mo-
ments. 1t is the duty of every munich
paIity to see that its public buildings
are as fireproOf as science will allow
and that in the event of fire a rapid
exit is possible without a panic. This
carelessness means the waste of hun
drcds of milions4 of dollars annually,
and the loss OF thousands of lives No
country can disregard that.

Not very long ago 1t was generally commented upon that the use of firearms among women was becoming more gen eral. Today 1t Is eqnally apparent that children are becoming versed In the use of guns. rifles and pistols at far tenderer years than in the olden days, not except ing the times of our Puritan Fathers. leading manufactures of firearms of all descriptions remarked recently that the orders for weapons for children placed by their parents bad reached such pro- portions of late years that this depart mcut in his establishment had already grown to one Of great importance.

Wages Disproportionate To Cost of Living

The Bureau of Statistics at Washing ton will. in few days. issue a report whereby 1t will be shown that the cost of living Is not only steadily increasing. but. furthermore. this increase Is far in advance of the increase in wages. Thls will not be news to the laboring man, os even to the clerk compelled to support himself and family on the meager week ly stipend be draws It will be recalled that recently the paying teller of one of the wealthiest trust companies In New York walked forth from his cage and out of the building with about s70.00O safely tucked in a suit case. and it was only due to rare piece of good luck that he was captured and most of the money re covered. The president of that truSr company, in the course of an interview. expressed the greatest surprise that this most trusted young man should have gone wrong" addlng that the clerk in question had long enjoyed the officiars fullest confidence. and that he was draw ing an ample salary Later develop mcu;s showed that the ample salary" of tho rian who handled hundreds of thousands of Joilars of the hanks funds each day was iu reality si.4O0 year.

Meets Old Schoolmate

1t was quite by accident, that A. +.
Morgan, Superintendent of the Mazuma
Hills Mill, who was in Lovelock the fore
part of the week, recognized in George
Woods, an old school mate OF years ago.
Morgan went into the Department
Store to make a small purchase, and Mr.
Woods waited on him. After closely
sciutilizing the popular manager OF the
Department Store for minute, the Mill
Superintendent extended his hand and
said "wliy hello Woodsie, know you".
Mr. Woods acknowledged the greeting,
but replied "You've got me.'' Morgan
replied "Why you and went to school
together.
The name OF their old school teacher
was recalled, but still Woods could
not remember. Finally it dawned on
him, as his mind Travelled back thro't the
many years of the past, that the big man
before him was the school mate OF years
ago, with whom he played hookie, and
who occupied the seat rext to him in the
school room. The two passed many
hours together, in pleasant rccollections
Of the past.

bringing with him some choice samples
of rock, which was taken from the
workings of the Company. The B. and

Operations are reported as progress
ing very satisfactory at Trinity. On the
Jack Thompson property there, samples

been taken from well defined ledge
The property being worked by Ed.
Oden, is also looking fine. Mr.. oden
recently had some assays made which
were highly satisfactory.
