$50. 900 POPULATION IN NEVADA

An estimate of the number OF
registered voters in Nevada accord
ing to ID. Y. Jones. who has been
securing the registration of the dif-
trent counties, places the total num-
Der of voters registered at about 3d.
600. SAYS the Elko Independent.
Charles Norcross places 1t at about
$4,000 and Judge Somers places 1t
at about 10000. If Mr.. Jones Is
correct in his estimation, the total
registration of Nevada this election
Is within 800 of the total popuu-
lation OF Nevada in 1900, when the
census of the United States placed
the population of Nevada at 42,33o.
If the registration is about 10000 1t
means that the total population OF
the state is more than 10000 and
that within the eight years Nevada
has more than tripled its population.
This is a wonderful showing and Is
probably a better showing in increase
of population than any other state in
the union Is able TO make. Nevada
has increased in population by leaps
and bounds and is still climbing and
if the prosperity of the state con-
tinues. as all people believe 1t Will.
Nevada will soon have a population
of more than 100000. 1t is believed
| by the members of both the Demo-
cratic and Republican state central
| committees that vote of from 49,
| 900 TO 10000 will be cast on
November 3rd.

MANSON HAS DONE
MUCH FOR NEVADA.

From the official reports of the
Irrigation Congress of which Col.
Maxson was secretary for eight years,
IL appears that he has devoted more
time and money in proportion to his
means than any other man In Me-
vada, during the dark days when the
public were being enlightened along
the lines of the possibilities of irriga-
ton in the arid west His report de-
liyered before the National Irrigae
ton Congress held shortly after the
passage of the Reclamation Act by
congress is most important docu-
ment. II shows that Col. Maxson
was one of committee of three who
went to Washington at their own ex-
pense and appeared before the Com
mites on Irrigation on arid land to
plead the necessity for akine in the
arid west; it also o--1ws Colonel
Maxson as one of the iginal seven
men who met at '"ichita, Kansas, at
the great Trans 5sissippi Congress,
and there made the great fight which
consolidated the ideas of the different
representatives 4 the west and set
aside the idea f the different rep
resentatives of the west and set aside
the eyasive ideas If the state sessio-
lists and adopted the storage plan
which was &C opted by all western
representatives. and which plan was
submitted to the representatives in
congress, of the seventeen arid states

and territories, who In turn worked
side by side In congress for the good
of the arid west waving all political
Civilizations. and every arid state owes
debt OF gratitude to It's representa-
i've In congress who did his duty well
and brought about the pessage of the
Reclamation Act In response to a
message to congress from President
Roosevelt recommending the same,
but the foundation for this was
certainly laid In the National Irriga-
ton Congress, and the TRANSMITS
sissippi Congress which in yearly
sessions advocated such for the arid
west In every session, and whose
combined acts by respective men In
those congresses aided in the mould
ing of public opinion to that degree
when the National Representatives in
congress met and did finally pass the
National Irrigation law.

IfeSluenL ROOSEVELT EoAhtS Ooh AiAA
portance of Electing Legislators
to Support Taft.
President Roosevelt, in a letter to
William Il Mckinley, chairman OF the
Republican Congressional Committee,
appeals to disinterested citizens to join
with the National Republican Commit
tee aud the Congressional Committee IN
a movement 10 elect William II. TAFT
as President and Republican Congress
to support him, saying, in part:
1T is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public interest, to
elect Mr.. Taft, and a Republican Con
gress which will support him; and they
seek election on n platform which spe-
cihcally pledges the party, alike In its
executive and legislative branches, 10
continue aud develop the policies which
have been not merely introduced, but
acted upon during these seven years
These policies can be successfully car
ried through only By the hearty cooper
alton OF the President and the Congress
in both Its branches, and Ii is therefore
peculiarly important that there should
obtain such harmony between them To
fail to elect Mr. Taft would be calam-
ity to the country: and 1t would be
folly, while electing him. yet at the
same time to elect a Congress hostile
to him, a Congress which under the In
fluence of partisan leadership would be
certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft, and at the same time TO elect a
Congress pledged to support him, is the
only way in which to perpetuate tie
policy Of the government as now car
ried on l feel that all the aid that can
be given to this policy by every good
citizen should be given; for this is far
more than a merely partisan matter

SAYS WEALTH IS DISTRIBUTED.
Chief Statistician OF Census Bureau

From tn. Baltimore American.

Chief Statistician OF Census Bureau
Writes on THE Assets Of the
United States
The nations wealth Is not in the
hands of a few. according TO l. G..
Powers. chief statistlcian Of the ceasus
bureau at Washington.
Writing on The Assets Of the United
States" In the September number OF
the American Journal OF Sociology Is
sued recently from the University OF
Chicago press. Mr.. Powers has the fol-
lowing 10 say OF the concentration OF
wealth in America:
"If we start with the value Of farms
and other homes which are known TO
be owned by men Of small possessions.
the savings bank deposits and other
known possessions OF those OF moderate
means, and then add the lowest popular
estimates Of the possessions OF our
millionaires. we have an aggregate far
in excess OF the census appraisal OF
national wealth. and the conclusion
under such circumstances Is irresistible
either that the census estimates are
ridiculousy small or the popular esti-
mates Of the wealth Of our millionalres
are greatly exaggerated.
The writer does not md any evil
dence that would justify either the
statement that our national wealth Ia
grossly understated or that our million
aires own so large a share OF that wealth
as to leave the great majority without
property"

"All employees not native TO the trop-
les who occupy the positions herein
designated shall be granted the follow
ing increases in pay for length OF con-
tinuous service on the Isthmus: Five
per cent OF the basic or class rate for

dltion OF three per cent of the basic
rate for each subsequent year; pro-
yided, however. that such cumulative
increase shall not exceed total OF Zoe

In other words, Mr. Taft made it
possible for every American laborer on
the lsthmus, by remaining there and
working. to increase his wages % per
cent and at the same time have a per
msnent position. These men also get
four weeks vacation with pay. every
year and Mr. Taft fayors making the
vacation six weeks with pay.

ATTACK ON CATHCART.

The movement to force John w.
Cathcart of tho Republican County
ticket is doomed to the same failure
that should attend every attempt to
heap calumny and personal abuse on
a citizen in the furtherance of spite.
The opposition to Cathcart which
has been going on since his regular
and unanimous nomination by the
Republican convention is backed by
some of the most disreputable factors
this community knows. The charges
take the form of n species of black
mail and innuendo. From start to
finish the antics of those leading
the attack have been Illuminated by
the Illumination of curious, though
bedfellows supplemented
by violated premises.
1t is gratifying that the managers
of the Republican party have thus
far refused to be influenced by stupid
efforts at Misrepresentation, and 1t
will be surprising IL they allow
themselves to be swayed during the
later days of the campaign.
The spite-workers against Mr..
Cathcart who have been busy in their
affidavit mill striving to gain mate
rial with which to embarrass the
party. have gone so far that the flu
ture has one of two courses open to
them.
They must either acknowledge
their error like men, or carry on
their campaign for the election of
the independent nominee, Long.
They have yet to show qualities
of honorable manhood. They will
therefore continue as earnest work.
ers for the split-ticket and Carlos
Long.
If 1t were possible for them to elect
Mr.. Long, the only possible method
by which It could be accomplished is
la direct appeal to the racial pref
udices OF the voting population of
this city and county.
In view Of what has gone before
! in the record of the split-ticket
crowd, and taking into consideration
the associates which they have now
taken in their camp, resort to the
lowest order of political manipula.
ton, Misrepresentation, and dishon-
est as well as intensely evil advice
to the voters may be expected.
The issue will be whether the vo.
ters of Honolulu will support malice
and Misrepresentation or common de,
