FACTS NOT GIVEN-AS YET.

Though the Bonanza has no use for George Graham Rice, nor
the methods he used in carrying on the affairs of the Nat G. Good
win company, it believes in giving the news irrespective of conse-
quences. The reports now going the rounds that Rice and Merrill
league, his editor, have fled the state to escape punishment for con
tempt before Judge Langan is misleading. In the first place Rice
was never served with papers summoning him to answer contempt
charges. league was the only person cited. He appeared before
Langan on the date originally set and through his attorney, P. A.
Mccarran, asked that subpoenas issue for Frank Wndes, receiver of
the State Bank and Trust company, together with other persons Of
more or less note. III addition he asked that the books of the State
Bank be brought into the court. It is known definitely that league
was, prepared to bring to light facts which would have startled the
state and exposed still more thoroughly the alleged rotteness of
the State bank and many OF those who have been connected in one
way or another with its affairs When this request was made Judge
Langan expressed surprise and incidentally stated that other court
business would prevent him from going into details at such length,
especially at that time At this McCarran agreed to postponing the
case and asked Judge Langan to set a date. Judge Langan found
himself unable to do this and set the case on his calendar without
date; in other words, he indefinitely postponed the affair. This was
ings. It was limited around Reno that certain persons did not want
TIE case to come to trial if startling testimony was to be brought
out and given extensive publicity
That was all the attention gwen the matter until a week ago.

legged contempt of Langan was committed. came out with a leading
editorial announcing that the place of publishing the paper was to
be Immediately transferred to New York. That was on Wednesday.
stated, made the order, setting leagues trial for the following week.
BY that time league was on his way to New York City and is now
there. He made no effort to conceal his departure. Rice was also in
the state and was given much publicity.
In face Of these facts when the league case was called at Car
son and the defendant failed to appear Judge Langan is stated to
have said that he considered the departure OF league a yindication
of his acts as Judge in the State Bank and Trust affairs The Bo-
side of the story or what he intended to prove have not been made
public-as yet.

Has it ever occurred to you that you would not appreciate the
moon any more ii you owned it and could put your hand on it and
examine the materials of which it is made-if YOU had a deed to it
We are told that children cry for the moon, and if it be true it
reveals a characteristic that it is rather difficult to get under and
behind and fully comprehend, that is, if this bent in the child be a
universal bent.
1t is true that our system of civil procedure and the plan upon
which we are educated and the environment that touches us, stimu-
lates a desire for possession, but whether OF not this desire to own
things is purely acquired, is a thought for deeper study.
If a beautiful tree be grown in an adjoining yard, there is no
reason why you should not enjoy it and profit by the blessings it
yields the same as iii stood in your yard.
There is no reason why a diamond on another finger or another
neck should not be admired as much by YOU as If it were on your
finger or your neck.
There are those who, when they see a beautiful rose, want to
pluck it and wear 1t, forgetting that when the rose is pucked, It will
wfther and die and its beauty and fragrance will. pass. but if left on
its stem, it will go on clarifying and pertaining its little world.
The world will have made a great forward stride in the enjoy
ment of the real things of this world when it realizes that possession
is not necessary to happiness and that things have a right to exist
Independent Of the service they may yield YOU and me.

GOOD NEWS FOR NEVADA.

The ntimation carried By the news agencies that John D. Ryan,
now managing director Of the Amalgamated Copper company, will
probably be made president OF that company in succession to the
late Henry II. Rogers, IS distinctly pleasing to mining and business
men Of the west, says the Salt Lake Herald. This region has much
more than a passing interest in the success of the far reaching enter
prise being worked out by the men In Amalgamated Copper and al
lied interests, for it is perceived how easily the present progressive
policy Of that company and its subsidiary organizations might be re-
versed by one not familiar with conditions.
Utah and Nevada are particularly interested In Mr.. Ryann and
his associates in undertakings in these states. The people have con
hdence in his ability to accomplish great material good for both
states, and they believe also shat Mr.. Ryan and the men associated
with him will profit largely By their investments and projects.
Ryan as familiar equally with conditions in mine and smelter. His re-
lations with the labor unions have ever been amicable and salts
factory both to employer and employed, for it is said of him that he
endeavors always to be just and far-an attitude that theoretically
is supposed invariably to succeed and in practice generally does win.
Fortunately for himself and the various companies with which he is
connected in a directing capacity, his status with respect to organ
lied labor is definitely fixed. No one questions his actual friendship
for the workingman or his desire to do the right any more than is
doubted his courage to combat an attempted wrong.
Without any desire or expectation Of influencing the capitalists
who control the Amalgamated company and its subsidiaries, the
Herald hopes in common with all the people Of this region that moth
ing may occur to hamper the completion of the plans inaugurated in
the lifetime of Mr.. Rogers by Mr.. Ryan. For this reason mainly
and also because of his successful and pacific administration in Mon
tana-they hope that the report from New York respecting him is
true.

SAFETY IN TRAVEL.

And still there are. people who are afraid to travel on railroads,
and who rush to secure accident insurance when they contemplate a
trip. in the face of the fact, that out of 141y 0O0, 900 passengers car
rid over the Pennsylvania last year, not a single one was killed
through accident and only 1O2 injured-one injured out Of every
1,3S9,O0O.
To the average man, figures, after they go beyond a thousand or
so. do not mean much, but If you stand but one chance in ten of
winning out on a proposition, the chances ire largely against you,
are they not? If they are one in a thousand, one in ten thousand or
one in one hundred thousand, there is not much likelihood of being
surprised at the result.
But there was only one injured out of every $780, 600 that tray-
eed on that road last year, and although there have been 141OOO.-
900 passengers, not one passenger was killed by accident
A person is safer. as Judged by these statistics, on a train. than
in bed.

If the free printing of stamped envelopes by the postofce de-
partment was something that benefited everybody there would per-
haps be more of an excuse for it's continuation. But 1t don't. II is
only those who can afford to buy as many as $1,000 worth Of en-
veopes at a time that are benefited by the favor. OF course, every
body has the privilege, but the department knows. and everybody
else knows that the great mass of the people cannot anord--do not
have the means-to buy their postage in wholesale lots.
Thus this favor of the government is in fact a favor and a saving
only to those who do not need it. It only people that can AFFORD to
pay for their printing who are able to get 1t done free by the post
Office department. And 1t is a favor to the wealthy and well-to-do
that does not yield one cent Of profit to the department. AS d mat
ter of fact, it adds to the yearly deficit.
The bill before congress to abolish this practice is right and
should become a law.

yesterday with its usual dividend of 80 cents a share, or a distribu-
ton Of $1,O59, TAI to the fortune holders of the stock. This means
that ground that was located five years ago has paid out through
leases and company operations, the magnificent total of SO, 800

with wealth as the holdings Of this one company that has made the
name Of Nevada famous all over the world. In the first six months
of 1909 the Consolidated will have paid in dividends the record
breaking sum OF $211s,4S2, or an aggregate Of s4,592,212 since
the company was organized, with a further distribution that reckons

It is stated on good authority that
cotton shipments from Pensacola
during the next three months will
exceed any record heretofore held

Monday when the recently gathered
and bRled crop will be received and
loaded to steamers now in the harbor
Some cotton has already reached here
but the greater portion will begin to
move early in the week and the l.. &
n. steamers August Belmont and s.. o.
Saltmarsh will be the first vessels to
receive any considerable quantity. The
Belmont will be loaded solidly for
Bremen and possibly another port,
and IL Is stated her cargo will in
value be in excess OF half q million
dollars. The Saltmarsh, also In the
harbOr is to take out possibly 5000
bales for Liverpool. other items to go
on that steamer, which arrived yes
terday with cargo.
Precautions to preclude any posi-
bility of fire in cotton have long been
strictly enforced here, and a fire In
stored cotton is something unknown
in this port. Fires have occurred IN
cotton after having been slowed
aboard ship, but these have been at
tributed to causes not originating
ashore. This care has served to at
tract considerable attention TO this
port, and those who are in position TO
know say this will count much when
shipments and shipping points are
being selected.
In addition to the two L. & n.
steamers now here on which many
thousand bales are to be shipped, the
Spanish steamers Wilma and Gracia
will arrive within the next two or
three weeks, and the Austrian steam
