JOHNSON DIED POOR BUT
LEFT A FINE HERITAGE

Governor .Johnson's estate, it is re-
portedfi will not exceed $500 i'll
valuation That fortune will barely
support the widow in moderate com
fort.
Measure by a standard which is on
ly too commonly accepted in this
country, Governor Johnson career
was failure. Men who are giving
their lives to the accumulation OF
money must say. surely, that a man
OF John JohnsOn's ability who. at the
age OF forty-eight years had piled up
no more than $4,000 was not a sue
cessful man. At the age of twenty
two, We have been told recently in
obituary encOmiums, +. H. Hartman
was able to buy Il seat in the stock
exchange for Il sum larger than Gov
ernor johnson left to his widow; and
at tle age OF forty eight Hartman
was a very wealthy man. There Is
larger III the "ublic eye than John
son ana that more Americans are
following in Harriman's than in
JOhnSOns S footsteps.
But measured by other standards,
JOhnsOn's life wa snot a failure He
fought MS way upward from the very
bottom, and the experience, instead Of
making I'm sordid, selfish and con-
ceited, as it makes 60 many men, re-
fined and ennobled him, as it did Alb
raham Lincoln, He was a soldier
of the common good. He worked for
the people, not for himself.
And the people were, in has case.
what hey are not in every case, eag-
erly appreciative of his service and
MS character. In a year when the
Republican national and State tickets
carried Minnesota by an immense ma
jOrity, Johnson, the Democratic nom
inee, was elected Governor by ma
jOrity almost as large as that given
to President Roosevelt.
With he modest little fortune, Gov
ernOr johnson left to his widow an
hOnOred name and a glorious tradi-
tiOn, and even in this age such a
heritage is worth while.-San Fran

CARSON CITY WILL LOSE
IMPORTANT INDUSTRY
AND SEVERAL FAMILIES
ARE AFFECTED BY THE
DEAL

Carson City is about to lose one OF
It's principal industries, the Nevada
Press Company.
Fer some weeks Manager Shaw OF
the Nevada Press Company has been
as busy as Il black ant between this
city and Reno trying to ONE to some
agreement with the Gazette Publish
ing Company to unite the Nevada
Press and the Gazette plants III the
Gazette building at Reno. This ar
rangcmcnt would give Reno one OF
the largest printing houses ON the
Pacific Coast, and would cause Car
son City to lose one OF its main IN
dustrics OF this city, an industry that
now pcddlcs about $1,000 Il month in
u salary roll.
Shaw declares there has nothing
tangible been done yet. Manager
Bingham, Of the Gazette and his fore
man are here today, Tor the second
or third time, and neither will talk
about the matter other than to say
that negotiations are going ON ana
that the deal Is practically made al
though tae papers are not signed us
yet.
Il is reported that the Nevada Press
Company has sub let the building 1t
now occupies and that certain men oil
the force now employed have been
notified that they will be retained
" hen the plant is moved
Manager Shaw has been free to say
Tor some months that ae would move
the plant in Il minute ii he could see
any advantage IN doing 20. He mas
been looking for the main chance i'll

ina, the deal between himself and the
Gazette came after ie mad been III
Reno looking tor II building III which
to move the big plant of the Nevada
Press Company.
Tae larson City News is printed
in the plant Of the Nevada Press. In
Guided III the negotiations, it is stat
cd, Is an arrangements ny Whlch thc
News is to be allowed press, ma
chine and such ypc as it shall need
to get out the News, it having no
plant ot its own.
The News is u small part of the
Nevada Press business and pays out
very little OF u pay roll, having no
Job office. and it Is the removal of the
big job plant, the ruling and binding
machinery and the presses and hug"
stock on hand that will most directly
affect this city.
The Nevada Press Company was
organized about five years ago. 1t

CASE
TO GAIN TIME
editor Appeal:

Senator Jas. T. Boyd, in the mat
against Receiver hall, and objections
to his second supplemental report,
PLAINLY inIIinales tnaL | withdrew sad
chal Ses because was afraid OF some
tnlnS coming, ana did not want the
public TO know it. Now. his mouth
was wide open at the time le made
and there was nothing to prevent INN
from telling what | was AFRAID of. He
had every incentive Of anger to tell
il. | had openly accused Hall and his
counseilOrs and agents oi being
"hnOCkerS, i'll open court, and i'll
support UI the accusation had cited
he admitted that he nad said that Il
large part of the securities We're
worthless, and cited the testimony OF
Mr.. Golden, untouched and unattack
ed, TO The etfec, that it was Il mat
ter OF common nOtOriety in Reno and
Carson that the receivers counsel and
agents were reporting that the Nye
4 CrmSbN would not pay over ) or
10 p,. cent on ,ur dollar.
| stated in open court that Mr.. Gold
Ell had requested me not to object
TO any question, but to turn Boyd
loose and do his best or worst. Mr..
&Boyd cross examined Mr. Golden for
hours last Saturday, with a free rein,
and If he had any sensations to spring
there We're no brakes on him. If
Golden knew Of any sensations that
could be sprung, he would not have
instructed ME to turn Boyd loose, and
il had known Of any such things, |
would not have turned him loose, but
would have tried to shul out all i'm
material matter.
The only reason | Withdrew the
charges was that by so doing | could
save al least two or three months OF
time, and great deal Of expense.
That the Court believed The charges
were sufficiently proved is fully evi-
denced by the fact that the Court
stated tnat if said Receiver did not
resign. he will ask his resignation.
What would be the effect and result
of stating on the public streets that
the Nye 4 Ormsby County Bank
would not pay over five or ten cents
Oh the dollar? Plainly, if such state
menL was believed. it would induce de
pOsitOrs to sell their accounts for
five or ten cents on the dollar. Mr..
Golden has at ali times urged de
pOSitors to hold on to their claims
enable discount as cash is worth to
the claimant for Immediate or press
ing use, and for no less, and not al
low SPECTATORS to scare them or take
advantage OF their necessities.
| further stated in open court that
If counsel on the other side insisted
upon proceeding with evidence that
we were ready, but in such case it
would insist upon the charges made.
and that the same must not be con-
sidered as being withdrawn. unless
tne receiver agreed to resign Then
followed the Courts order with ref
erence to the resignation Of the Re
Ceiver.
