The TWlnA,

could scarcely tell them apart. As they
grew Older it became evident that to
Grandmother Harmon at least the
twins were q unit.
"Y01l were asking ne how much the
twins weigh" said Grandmother iiar
mon to n neighbor. When l went out
that afternoon put one Of them on
the scales ut the grocery and found
they weigh Just twcnty-siy pounds.
"Do they always weigh exactly the

GRANDMOTHER Harmon looked quite i'm

"Thc twins" she said. "Of course
why not:"
The neighbor had no reason to give
but she rebelled a few days later when
In answer to her inquiry Grandmother
Harmon said:

their mother has taken them down to
the oculist's to have it removed, they
were fussing so over it."-Youth's

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
AN %UNTHRIFTY SAVING.

Many people greeted the news of the suicide of Morris Haas
The who attempted to assassinate Attorney Francis j Heney
in the courtroom OF Judge Lawlor. in San Francisco, with the e
mark: Good thing he did it-Saves San Francisco the expense o
! trial. We very seriosuly doubt the wisdom of that remark. 1t
appears to s that there is no doubt that back of the attempted as
sassination is the hand of the higher ups. 1t may not be that Haas
a offered any price" for the murder of Heney. But it is more
than likely that Haas, brooding sulenly over the exposure OF his
prison career which had been made by Heney when Haas was about
- ha made A iuryman in the second Ruef trial. was sought out by
rho gen of Ruef, and that for months they had been ceverly play
ing upon his susceptibiities, telling him of the great wrong he mad
suffered at the hands of Heney, and suggesting that his lie a
ruined and that he might as well drag himself and Heney to eter-
niy at one and the same time. Through this course of mental sug-
gesuon Haas doubtless became a monomaniac upon the suD]ect-he
victim of a speces Of hypnotism-and under this sinister Influence
and at a time and in a manner which would appeal to a disordered
mind as bordering upon the heroic, tried to kill the man who Will
eventually be the Nemesis of the San Francisco graft ring. The
attempt made, the minds of his SUCCESSORS turned to covering up
their own tracks and his own poor, weak intellect left to alone face
the certain results OF his cowardly and appalling act, it is no Won
der that he at first Historically cried, in the same breath that he
wanted to kill Heney and then that he wanted Heney to get well
and that he had nothing against him, or that, later, he sent a bullet
crashing through his own brain.
1t is a pity that he suicided. AS sure as the certainty that death
will ONE to all men-and that is the only really sure thing in this
world. Heney, Burns, and the coterfe of clever and true men ahhi-
ated with them would have wormed from Haas the true story of the
attempt upon Heney. They broke Abe Ruef down to the point even
where he confessed in open court where the whole world, through
the medium of the press, might hear. And Ruef, at the time OF ina
confession, did not know that the appellate court of the state of
California would declare that confession invalid and Ruef innocent
Abe Ruef is a clever man. versed in every technicality and intreacy
of the law; a man of iron nerve and of cunning unbelievable. And
that immeasureably weaker tool, Haas, is easy to conceive It is
fortunate for the graft ring that Haas never lived TO tell his story,
but it is unfortunate for the city of San Francisco that he is

SOMEBODY LIED.

We are wondering, these days, if in order TO successfully con-
duct a large corporation it is absolutely necessary to be an ac-
compfshed liar. Standard Oil has on its staff, perhaps, the most
accomplished, never firing and perpetualy working force of liars
the world has ever seen. The Southern Pacific is perhaps next.
Down at Winnemucca there is a coal famine, and the state rail-
road commission took the matter up with the Southern Pacific, only
TO be politely informed that the matter is not within the jurisdiction
of a state commission, as transportation of coal is interstate bust
ness; that the Southern Pacific has no coal to sell and that it can
not enter into competition with regular dealers, and that all it can
do is to transport coal from the producer to the dealer, as the same
is consigned to it for shipment. I'll is no fault of the railroad if the
coal mines can not keep up with the demand. In fact, the railroad
says, the principal cause of coal shortage is the fault of the dealers
themselves. who wait until they are practically out of coal before
they order more. and then comes the famine. The dealers get the
principal blame.
Now Tonopah is afflicted with no coal famine as yet, the price
lowering around $8 per ton. But the Bonanza is informed that
there is carload upon carload of coal sidetracked between here and
Reno, this coal having been ordered by dealers long ago, waiting for
a shortage to occur. when 1t will be brought in. a little at a time, and
unloaded at bonanza prices. We believe the railroads lie when
they say they own no commercial coal mines. The writer personally
knows OF thousands OF acres of coal lands in the middle west which
have been bought up, where near railroads, by the agents IL some
powerful organization, the operations upon them stopped, and now
not an ounce of coal being taken from them. We wonder why.
The statement that there is at present a coal shortage in the
United States is a lie. no matter by who made, as far IS it applies to
coal deposits. There is enough coal in the United States for nun
dreds of years. And, in the meantime, while industries using power
are constantly increasing, 20 is the use CT natural water power, cleo
tricity superseding steam. The time is not far distant when the en-
ergy of every stream in the United States will be harnessed and
made to tura mills aud factories, furnish light, heat and through
chemical action. even food, to the inhabitants of America, and the de-
mand for coal thus be 81 lessened that there will be coal for all SO
long as coal shall ever be needed. Time will come, too. when a bit of
coal will be picked up and the plying remark made: 'And Just to
think, our great-great grandfathers used to have to burn this dirty
stuff in order to cook their meals, keep warm. and run their crude
machinery"
But as regards the coal shortage-"Somebody Lied"

ON THE WRONG FOOT AGAIN.

As is usual almost the world over when some matter Of public inn
port comes up, there is already a break beginning to appear in the
effort to secure terminal rates for Nevada from the Southern Pa
cfc railroad. Just now, when the effort of every business man and
property owner in the state should be bent toward the task of Sc
curing terminal rates AT SOME CENTRAL POINT IN NEVADA, diff
ferent localities are letting their jealousies show up, and promise to
divide and materially weaken Nevadas demands for recognition by a
fight as to just what town shall secure the terminal facilities. Reno
was first named, and al the metropolis of the state, has a good claim
slightly more central for some parts of the state, is making a bid
for the terminal rates. That is all wrong. The first thing is to get
the terminal rate for some central portion of the state, and after the
interstate commerce commission has ruled that Nevada shall have a
terminal rate, in consonance with her distance from eastern points,
the best suited to the needs of all the people of the state. We are
not demanding terminal rates for the benefit of any one town alone
of the entire state of Nevada which demands that this state be given
its Just recognition in this matter. and the terminal point should be
where it will work the greatest good to the greatest number. The
robbery of the state of tens of thousands of dollars each year by the
present illegitimate and illegal rate for a haul from Sacramento to
Reno which is never made on freight from eastern points. must be
stopped. The community which will endanger this state relief by a
petty fight as to the location of the terminal is not only short
sighted, but is telling the whole state to go to h in order that it
may gain a few dollars. For shame!

paper is not to blame because the Eggs Do Not Hatch.
Again, the merchant turns over a batch of nice, fresh eggs to
the newspaper for incubation, and when these eggs have been
warmed for a couple of days the merchant stops his advertisement
takes the eggs out of the incubator. And then he cries that "Ad-
vertisng don't bring results"
1t takes three weeks to hatch an egg-three weeks of steady
incubation. 1t takes longer than that to hatch out business eggs.
Pull a hen off the nest in less than three weeks and you have a lot

Pull your advertisement out of the paper before it has had time to
properly bring your business before the public, and you have not live
chicks, but a batch of rotten eggs to pay for your pains. 1t is when
you keep your advertisement in a live paper, every day, quoting real
bargains and backing up the ad quotations in your store, that the
public begins to realize that you are having live eggs Matched out,
and can give it the benefit of not having to pay out money for
eggs that grow rotten in your hands.

The unorganzed and unofficial body of Tonopah business men.
which was called together by the exigencies of the Clifford trade sit
uation, did good work, and merely instanced what a body of men,
all pulling together, an do when they try. The Bonanza believes
that an organization comprising business men, property owners,
professional men and all who II dependent directly upon the pros
perity of Tonopah for their prosperity, should be made permanent
that Tonopah should have a strong and active chamber of COM
merce for the handling of any questions as to trade or development
that shall arise. Such a organization could find much work to do
and could be a great factor in the development of Nye county. Not
only this, but it would afford opportunity for the various business
interests of the city to get together and instead of pulling against
