Dave Barnett, Forest Supervisor
stationed at Austin, visited Manhat
tan last Thursday for the purpose of
purchasing site for a home, offices
and stables of the rangers. He picked
out two or three sites, either Of which
were suitable to him and wired the
bureau at Washington the facts as
he found them. He received in re-
ply that the government would not
make any purchase of unpatented
realty for any purpose. This ruling
ties up important improvements both
at Manhattan and at Round Mountain,
SAYS the Mail. When seen by a rep
resentative of the Mail, Mr.. Barnett
had a number of sensational state
ments to make all of which concern
the owners Of read estate in Hanhat-

He said: ''In the first place | very

RENO JOURNAL
MAKES PROPHESY
Tells EditoralIy What Will Not

Monday

The following prophesy is from the
editorial department of the Reno
Journal:
1t is distictly amusing these days
to meet representatives OF the Dem
ocratic machine. They force a smile
and tell us that they have everything
cooked and dried for Carson next
Monday and that there is nothing to

O'Clock next Monday afternoon in the
pretty little town that is the capital
Of Nevada.
The machine has been hard at work,
aided by the Republicans, to form a
slate, and there will be gathering
here tomorrow and in Carson on Sun
day to talk the matter over and lay
plans. They cannot understand, ap-
parently. that the good old days when
the slate was written up at Virginia
city have gone and will not return.
The independent Democrats of Ne
yada will be likely to have large wet
sponge on hand Monday and the way
that machine slate will look after

The machine Democrats are all good

fore this.

Democrat is against instructing the

against pledging delegates.
And who are for instructions? The

are quietly referring to Senator Shar-

THE DEVIL"

The marvel Of stagecraft is "The
Devil"
The company presenting "The Dev-
il' has such players as Miss Leila
Summerlin, late leading woman Of the
New York Stock company; Mr.. Tru.
man De Roame OF Bulasko forces; Mr.,
Jack Foster, the juvenile man that was
so popular in The Roundup. "The
Devil" is psychological satire, is a
play of the school of Ibsen, George
Bernard Shaw and Hauptman, but
its rapier-like wit, its caustic humor,
its blistering sarcasm, it is far and
away in advance of the symbolic
drama as represented by these authors.
The devil is presented as a man OF
the world, in the conventional dress
of the day. who comes into the scenes
and sweeps everything before him.
His whole career is one Of evil. Be
ginning by installing poison into the
lives or two people into whose exist
ence he insinuates himself he car
ries them forward to the catastrophe
through malevolent cunning and sub
tie sophistries which fairly take away
ones breath. One must listen to his
satanic reasoning to appreciate the
