DEMAND THE
GUARANTEED
Pure Food Law Became Effective
Last Week...BuIIetin Asks Aid
From the Public.

Beginning January l it became
just as much crime for store
keeper to hand his customers coun-
terfeit goods as il Is now for the
customer to hand the storekeeper
counterfeit money IN exchange for
the merchandise. And by counterfeit
goods is meant anything that is not
Just exactly as it is advertised.
On January l the pure food law
went into full force and effect. The
law became partially effective the
first day of last July, when manufac-
turers were subjected to its provi-
sions, but now the six months grace
expires and retailers who have had
counterfeit goods are supposed to
have disposed of them. Makers and
sellers alike of food products must
hereafter meet all the requirements
of the pure food law or incur liabil-
ity of punishment.
Since January / the dealer who
sells adulterated goods must sell
them as such authorizations, with
their nature clearly stated Fruit
jellies, for instance, must he made
exclusively from the fruits indicated
by the label. If any aduterant is
employed its character must be legi-
bly, shown and its quantity disclosed
When articles of food are sold with
out such qualifying statement. the
presumption is that they are sold UNI
der guaranty that they are exactly
what they purport to be. A recently
issued government bulletin has the
following TO say on the subject;
Consumers will greatly facilitate
the purpose of the law, which is
drawn wholly in their interest, and
vastly increase the efficiency of it's
productive operation, If they will
frankly demand OF their dealers the
delivery of only guaranteed food
products. The dealer who could
raise objection to compliance with
such a demand may legitimately be-
suspected of trickery.
Suppose that customer having
been furnished with supplies as or
dered, We're to offer the dealer coun-
terfeit coin in payment. Is it con-
that any supersensitive deli
racy would restrain his protest. that
he would not loudly inveigh against
he wrong and injustice of the ten
der. and threaten the Intervention
Of the law If sound money did not
replace the counterfeit? A
iealer has no more right to sell a
customer counterfeit goods than a
customer has to pay him in counter
cit money. The consumer proceeds |
IN the basis that he will discharge his
Iebts in honest coin. The dealer
must be made to do business upon
he basis that he will deliver honest
,oods.
Insist upon receiving supplies
under the pure food law.
nd Ii counterfeits are delivered,

At meeting of the Comstock
Pumping association held In San
Francisco few DAYS ago. 100000
was voted to the management of the
Ward shaft for further development,
SO as to improve the drainage sys-
tenn of the Comstock mines. In ad-
dition TO this, the association voted
SOL 900 toward the Improvement Of
the old tunnel connecting the Ward
shaft with the Chollar- Norcross-Sav-
age mines for the better drainage Of
those workings. This drainage sys-
TEN will drain all mines lying on the
lode between Virginia City and Gold
Hill to depth of $4,000 feet, and
Will enable the mine owners to work
a number of new lodges that have
been struck in the lower workings.
II may mean that the Comstock will
boom once more. although 1t IS be-
lieyed that much more money will
have to he expended In the devotion
ment of the drainage system.

Evening. Attended by Novel

\ very delightful affair was THAI
at which Miss Florence Weber en-
tertained in honor of Miss Edna

tests formed the feature of the even
ing, the Irizes being won by Jack
Callahan and Miss Louise Riepe
They were an emblematic Ely charm
and a silver jewel box.
one of the features which created
the greatest amour. of fun was the
declaration on the part of several of
those present that both Mr.. Callahan
and Miss Riepe had secured their an
swers from the original answer sheet,
which Was in charge of Miss Simp-
son. This led % court martial of
the two at which they were pronoune-
ed guilty. Miss Simpsons penalty,
inflicted by the court, was that she
should be made TO remain for at least
a week longer in Ely. Before court
convened TWO of the young men slip
ping to the rear of the house and
securing tin wash boiler, proceeded
TO beat it before the house, declaring
that this was their method of inform
ing the public that court was in ses-

neishbors poked their heads ont OF

front door In very dishabille costumes
to find oul where the fire was" The
joke of the court proceeding was still
further carried out when a large del

then attempted to pat the decree Of
the court into effect. She managed
to escape however.

HIT THE GROUND
HOT FOOTING IT
Temperance Propaganda In Early
Days of Camp Which Made a
Sober Bunch of Indians Here

Forty-six Indians spanked and
caused to become temperance workers
in single night, is one of the menu
cries which the number of Indian
DRINKS lately brought into court
brings to the mind of C. r. Reeves.
The event came off in the Christmas
holiday period about six years ago.
'.Humph,@ Reeves remarked to
group of men last night at the post
Office when the subject of Indian
DRINKS was brought up. Three in
week s nothing. How would you
like to have to hop run in about 40
of the red men who had taken on too
great a load for personal comfort?
Well, | helped do that.
You see ii was this way. About
six years ago, before the smallpox
killed OFF most of the male members
of the tribe, they We're about as on
cry a set of devils as man could
well run across in weeks time.
One night we got the news here
that they had gotten hold of bar
rel of whisky and were having a
high old time. Every available man
in the toxin started ont for their
camp. as we wanted to forestall any
move on their part toward Ely.
We got close to the camp, and
it was certainly a sight Every buck
was dancing and singing and every
squaw was adding her wells and walls
TO the pandemonium. We broke
them suddenly and as none
were arme managed to round II .be-
tween 40 and so of them.
We brought them down town and
then the question of what to do with
them came up. We had no place tol
put the women and therefore turned
them loose. After we had corraled
the bucks one of our bunch hit on
a scheme. We had heard of the
whipping post-why not put it into
execution? We searched around for
a convenient place and soon found
ii. A telegraph pole looked good to
us for the purpose and the first vic.
tim was led to the slaughter He ev-
identity thought we were going tol
burn him at the stake and was as
stoical as one of Fenimore Coopers
Indian braves. Suddenly seizing
each arm and leg he was held off
tue Sloh'ih anu iiSnliN dSd1DSl the
post, while another member of the
white party welded light barrel
stave with hole bored in it, with
telling effect. Ten strokes that bnck
got before he was let down. Ten
was enough. for, with yell, he was
running when his feet touched the
ground. 1t was the same with all
of them and only one tried to show
fight. He ran faster than any of the
others when we finally let him GO
Did they get drunk any more?
Not that bunch. Maybe some of the
young bucks of the tribe who had es-
capped the whipping got full once in
a while, but the older Indians werel
all temperance advocates even after
they got so that they could again sit
down comfortably. 1t was a pity the
smallpox came for it is my opinion
that we would have had the most
temperate, >eXemplary bunch of
braves around here that ever came
down the pike"
