AN ENTHUSIASTIC
Meeting

The call for the meeting at the hose
house Sunday afternoon, to devise ways
and means to secure the Western Paci-
fic terminal, was responded to by
about rs of our principal business men
and taxpayers. Promptly at $3.50
O'Clock an organization was effected by
the election of J. Sheehan as chairman
and H. w. Duncan secretary.
In order that the men present nigh.
fully comprehend the situation Edward
Reinhart explained to the meeting that
Mr.. Sheehan and himself had been in
touch with the general officers Of the
Western Pacific for the past four
months, with reference to making Win
nemucca division point, and outlined
what would be expected of the citizens
to secure the desired result. He also
stated that options had been secured
on a portion of the land required, ami
that negotiations were now pending
with Miller 6 Lux, owners of the major
portion.
The report was received with great
enthusiasm and resolution was unan-
mously adopted, thanking Messra.
Reinhart and Sheehan for their good
offices in the matter.
Upon motion, Messrs. Edward Rein
hart, j. Sheehan and G. b. Brown
were named as committee to raise
the money necessary to purchase the
required land.
The subscription committee held it's
first meeting at the First National
bank last evening, when it was decided
to begin receiving subscriptions today.

THOUGHTFUL MAIL
ROBBER

In last Tuesdays issue of the Silver
State News mention was made of the
fact that a rumor was current on the
street that mail pouch had been stol-
en- from Mill City, but that details
could not be obtained.
Sunday the Silver State News came
into the possession of the facts in the
case in rather a roundabout manner.
Shortly after the first of the month we
received from W. s. O'Brien, of Chafey,
letter requesting the publication of a
notice of application for the appropri
alton of the public waters of the STATE
of Nevada. While check was en-
closed to cover the cost of the publica-
tion, the notice was missing. Mr.. o.
brlen was at once apprised of the fact,
and in due time letter was received
stating that he had inclosed the notice
in the presence of three witnesses, and
that it must have been lost at this end
of the line.
The loss threatened to remain an un
solved mystery, when Sunday a letter
was received from Mr.. O'Brien which
enclosed the missing notice and the
following explanations:
Postoffice Department-Office of the
Inspector in Charge,--San Francisco
CAL, Dec. 8, 1908.
w. $. O'Brien, Chafey, Nevada.
Sir:-A mail pouch from your office
December was stolen at Mill City and
contents rifled. The enclosed notice of
application for permission to appropri
ate the public waters, which presume
had been mailed by you, was found
with the mail recovered, but the envel
ope in which it was inclosed could not
be identified. /, therefore, return it to
you, assuming that it was mailed by
you.
III there were any other valuable con
tents in the letter, please report the
1acts fully to your postmaster for my
information.
Very respectfully,
JOE P. JOHNSTON,
Inspector in Charge.

members from southern states, of the
interview given out by President-elect
Taft Just before he left Hot Springs,
in which he declared it would be one
of the great ambitions of his admin
istration to win over the south to the
cause of the Republican party. There
is very wide difference of opinion as
to the chances of success in Judge
Taft's favor, but everyone agrees the
experiment will be well worth
watching.
Southern senators and representa-
tives, for reasons which are apparent,
are not disposed to discuss Mr.. Taft $
project for publication, but their
views ON the subject are generally pro
nouneed. There is one important point
which they are almost unanimous in
making. The south is not Democratic
because the civil war was fought, they
declared, nor because the slaves were
freed. Many of the reasons why the
south remains steadfast in its Democra-
cy, it was contended, are present ami
largely local, but if there is reaso
which has its root in history it may bs
found in the Republican party's sins
of reconstruction. The south, declare

resent her in the halls of congress, has

MORRIS HOFFMAN, CO. MAKE
A FINE WINDOW DISPLAY

In honor of the approaching holidays
the Morris Hoffman Co. has made an
unusually fine window display.
The large show windows have been
lined with white cloth, which has been
covered with California holly. The con-
trast presented by the white back
ground and the green leaves and red
berries of the holly gives very pleas
ing effect.
In addition there has been placed on
display fine assortment Of holiday
and other goods. 1t has also been
noticed that since the advent Of Mr..
Blume the printed signs at this estab-
lishment have been of character that
would make old Gutenberg squirm in
his grave with delight.

other property, but she finds it impos-
sible and hard to forgive the outrages
of reconstruction days.
A prominent senator from one of the
states "lately in rebellion suggested
that if the Republican party wants to
win the south away from Democracy
it could take no better preliminary
step than by moving for the repeal OF
the fifteenth amendment to the federal
constitution, which conferred the elect
i've franchise on the then recently freed
bondsmen. 1t is true that many of the
southern states have found way TO
take the sting out of this amendment,
but the south is and always will be
resentful that it should be part of
the organic law of the land.
One Democratic senator who can see
no possibility for success for the Taft
ambition called attention to the fact
that the Ohio platform of this year,
which presumably had Judge Taft $
endorsement, called for enforcement OF
that clause of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution relating ID
apportionment of representation i'll
congress and which provides thar
"when the right to vote at any cleo
tion for the choice of electors for pres
ident and vice president of the United
States, representatives in congress, the
executive and judicial officers of a
state, or the members of the legislature
thereof, is denied to any of the male
inhabitants Of such state, being u
years of age, and citizens of the United
States, or in any way abridged, except
for participation in rebellion, or Other
crime, the basis of representation
therein shall be reduced in the proper
tion which the number of such male
citizens shall bear to the whole NUM-
Der of male citizens 21 years of age in
such state.
Democratic members of congress are
not lacking, however, who believe
Judge Taft has reasonable foundation
in probability for the hope that he may
be able to break into the solid
Democracy of the south: They are
largely representative of the "new
south, +" which holds that the land OF
Dixie should look forward-not back
ward. As one of them pointed out, the
men who control the destinies of the
Republican party today are not the
same men who perpetuated the sins OF
reconstruction, and that the Republi-
can party of today should no more bt
held to account for the acts of past
generation of Democrats, acts which
made war between the tates in
evitable.

In the above beautiful song Long
fellow tells how Hiawatha first met
Minnehaha, Laughing Water, and at
the same time immortalizes the falls
of that name. The latter are now sit
uated within the city limits of Mime
apolis, adjoining the military reserva-
tion of Fort Smelling.
Some years ago the National
Educational association held its
annual session in Minneapolis,
and was largely attended by peda-
gogues from all over the country. Many
young lady teacher had been look
ing eagerly forward to the trip, and
no doubt for year had been denying
herself many little luxuries dear to the
feminine heart in order that she might
view with her own eyes the scenes of
Hiawatha IS wooing.
But after arriving at the convention
city, and having gone out to the hal
lowed spot, imagine her disappointment
at finding the rocks absolutely dry
with not drop of water going ovel
the falls. Another idol of her girl
hood was thus rudely shattered.
Sadly making her way back to the
city, the fact was made known. All
alert local reception committee prompt
ly made an investigation, and found
that, owing to the fact that the seasor
had been unusually dry, an unimag, l.
ative farmer, who had likely nevel
heard of Longfellow or his Hiawatha
had diverted the stream to irrigate hi'
cabbage patch. Luckily for him hi
punishment was not left to the young
ladies. But the committee had the
damage repaired, and before the con
vention closed the teachers had this
unalloyed pleasure of standing behind
the falls, at their base, and viewing
the glorious rainbow effects to be seer
from looking through the falling mst'
from that position.
The incident probably had the effect
Of preserving the spot in all its
pristine beauty to future genera
ions. At the next session of the leg
salture the surrounding territory was
taken in the city limits and converted
into park. Now, for several days
before visitors are expected to arrive
he waters of the stream are stored,
nd in this manner good flow over
he falls is assured at the desired time.

SPOlLSMEN AFRAID
OF ROOSEVELT
(By Sheldon s. Kline.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA lot of
people grow uneacy when they conteiu
plate the things it is possible for Theo
dore Roosevelt to do during the less
than three months that remain Of HIS
administration. Already considerable
number OF congressman are in the
slough Of despond because of the ex-
ecutive order placing $4,000 fourth
class postmasters under the protection
of the civil service laws, and there is
every reason to believe the order will
be extended to cover the remaining
$4,000 fourth-class Offices And there
IS disquieting report from the White
House that the president has in mind
the placing of some 10000 other
offices under the civil service, including
deputy marchals, deputy surveyors,
deputy collectors, assistant district
attorneys, etc.
Already, for all practical purposes,
moved from the class of congressional
patronage, and should the president
carry out the program he is reported
to have under consideration, senators
and representatives fill have left to
them no more patronage than has the
resident commissioner from Porto Rico,
who has no say in the distribution OF
offices beyond the appointment of his
personal secretary.
Seven out of ten members of congress
will then be ready to get up and deciar
that "a foul outrage has been perpe-
trated.o The other three in ten pos
sess unbounded satisfaction at the pros
pect That 8 because there is differ
ence of opinion. The seven who feel
outraged hold to the belief that the
patronage a member has to distribute
makes him more friends than it does
enemies and enables him to hold on to
his seat in congress. The other three
believe q man makes more enemies
than friends through the distribution
of patronage, and don't want to be
bothered with ce-seekers, anyhow.
Mostly, such as these belong to the
i" high brow class of statesmen, who
don't like even to send out garden
seeds.
