Needs OF the BuFea
I'm a sort Of meat ak way we have been
trying to frame up an intelligent showing
of the growth of land values in Nebraska,
and so with several other important sta
~tistical stunts. But these will very likely
have to await. for publication. the action
of the next legislature. Mr.. Coburn's bu-
reau. which has made Kansas known to
ever the p~ickaninnies at the source of the
Nile, spends more for postage, I believe,
than this bureau is allowed for all other
purposes aside from salaries. Hence, dur
ing the time the present head Of the
bureau has. been in charge, much atten-
tion has been devoted to equipping build
ing with proper lire escapes on the tneory
that some one or two of the multifarious
duties laid down for the bureau ought to
be well attended to, rather than scatter
time and attention and achieve nothing.
Factory i~nspection-and our factories are
increasing with a very healthy growth
is practically neglected; female and child
labor laws are perfunctorily cared for
labor statistics are not gathered or COM
piled, and farm statistics are not nearly
what they should be; the state free EN-
| ployment bureau is not in existence, great
as the need is for such a public conven-
fence in Lincoln and Omaha, from whence
the whole state could be served.
'Maybe-this open confession will be good
for the state. l sincerely hope so. Governor
Sheldon very properly will not countenanc'
a deficiency, but he is alive to the needs
of making this bureau what II ought tc
be: A public service bureau in the widest
and best sense. And with a close and COM

tive work without any very e~xtravagant

In the numerous discussions Of this

the advocates of this financial heresy,
portraying aged depoeitors facing the

of banks in which their life savings and
pittances were deposited. Such misrep-
reservations when made by political
spakers are simply ingenious devices with
which to catch votes for their party can
didates, but when made by bankers can
not be regarded otherwise than as a
mere subterfuge advanced as a means to
the accomplishment of an nd-th en-

THE CLIFFORD ROAD
COMMITTEE REPORT

The committee appointed by the
mass meeting of business men Mon,
day night to go over the road from
Tonopah to Clifford, and make a re.
port thereupon, has completed its
task, and will deliver the folIowine
report at the meeting of Friday
night:
Tonopah, New, Nov. IL, 1908.
To the Citizens of Tonopah:
Your committee appointed to visit
the new mining section east of here
and report on the condition of the
roads between Tonopah and the Ka-
wich camps, particularly Clifford,
herewith submits it's report. The
committee consisting of John Glen
dening and A. H. Elftman, accom-
panied by County Commissioner S. F.
Lindsay, today visited Clifford, Belle
helen and Horseshoe and at this time
give out the facts learned in relation
to the possible trade relations be-
tween Tonopah and the Kawich coun-
try, so that some consideration may
be given to them before your meet
ing Friday evening, and thereby elicit
a more comprehensive discussion Of
the problems confronting Tonopah If
she wishes to retain the trade with
Clifford, Bellehelen, Horseshoe,
Golden Arrow and Silver Bow.
The road between Tonopah and
Five Miles springs, thirty-six miles
out, is in excellent condition with the
exception of about 500 feet in the
Salsberry wash, where the sand is
deep enough to interfere with heavy
freight teams. Joe Nay and Cooney
Ponti, who live at this point, were
given contract to repair this stretch
by covering the sand
with sagebrush and solid road ma
terial.
At Five Mile the road was found to
run in shallow ravine for distance
of 400 feet and the water from the
springs followed the road and i'm
paired its usefulnessJ contract was
let to Charles Eadon to make new
piece of road on dry ground and
build culvert over the ravine to
avoid the soft ground near the
springs.
From Five Mile the old cut to Cliff

three miles of very bad sand. We
