ELKS' MINISTRIES
To CAUSE Much
SIDESPLITTING

The Elks minstrels held full re-
hearsal last evening in the Elks'
club rooms and a few surprising
stunts were witnessed. Every song,
dance, monologue and joke on the
program was rehearsed and even the
ballet dance by Bert Gibbons was
tried and declared a success. The
antlered actors are showing some
class and are leaving nothing undone
that will help to make the show a
bowling success. One of the prin-
cipal features on the program will be
the Laloi Fuller dance, which is bet
ter known as the serpentine. This
will be presented by four beautiful
masculine maidens, attired in long
flowing robes of silk. This is also
known as the fire dance, but the
name makes no difference and the
dance will be on the boards with
plenty of calcium and the beauties
will be shaved for the occasion.

NO MORE STATE AUDITOR.

Nevada is not to have state audi
tor after the legislature meets, if the
recommendation of the governor is
carried out. 1t is reported on good
authority that Governor Dickerson
has expressed himself as being
against the present measure and will
ask to have the same repealed and a
bill passed that will allow the gov
ernor of the state to employ an ex-
pert to audit the books of the state
or the counties whenever in his
opinion he considers the matter nee
essary. The Office of state auditor is
now vacant as the governor has
never appointed a man to fill the po-
sition made vacant by the resignation
of Lou Henderson of Elko.-Carson
News.

A HOT GAME
Of BASKETBALL
IS PROMISED

The players of the Tonopah Bas-
ketball club team are in no ways
over-confident on account of their big
score over the Goldfield Blue Dia-
mond team last Saturday night and
are practicing daily for the game
Saturday night, when they meet the
picked team that is coming over from
Goldfield. The success of the Tono-
pah team is mostly due to the eff
ficient coaching of R.. S. Davidson
and H. Stotesbury, who have both
played on a number of eastern teams.
The game furnishes numerous OPP
portunities for trick plays and OF
these the boys have taken advantage
and now have the game down to a
science. The sport lovers of Tonopah
will undoubtedly turn out in force to
witness the game Saturday night at
the Nevada theater, which will be
the first contest with an outside ag-
gregation which has taken place in
this city. The price of admission has
been placed at SO cents, which in
cludes skating before and after the
game. Time will be called at $50
O'Clock sharp.

SAYS silver
Will REACH THE
DOLLAR MARK

The producer of silver will find in
the international silver agitation
which prominent public men of this
country are now stirring up, sub
stantial grounds for hopes that the
metal will be we'll worth handling in
the near future.
"A Washington dispatch, under
date of December 25, contains the
following, which may prove the
foundation of an international agree
ment:
THE publication in Paris of Sena-
tor Teller's letter to Moreton Frew-
en-, the English bimetallist, relative
to the rate of exchange between
American and European countries on
one hand and Asia on the other, has
served the purpose of calling atten.
tion to the fact that Frewen spent
some time last winter and spring in
Washington, urging upon both con-
gress and cabinet the importance oil
recognition of the rapidly increasing
divergence between the gold prices OF
the Occident and the silver prices OF
the Orient.
HE was given a courteous hear
ing. He was insistent in pointing out
the fact that within the last decade
there has been an unexampled rise in
gold prices, especially in the United
States, with an increase in wages and
in the cost of living, while on the
other hand the silver rupee, the
money of 500. 10000 people in Asia,
has remained stationary, with the
consequence that there has been a
marked falling off In exports tc
Asiatic countries, both from England
and the United States.
During the course of his stay in
Washington, Mr.. Frewen addressed
letter to Representative J. w
Weeks of Massachusetts,, member
of the banking and currency com
mission of the house, and also of the
present congressional monetar!
commission, in which he out
lined his plans for an Improvement ii
the exchange rate. In this letter h,
urged the adoption by the United
States and Great Britain of what Il
known as the Coschen plan for tn,
purchase of more silver.
The Goschen plan originated will

Lord Goschen in 1891, when he was
chancellor of the British exchequer
in Lord Salisbury's government. He
was strong monometallist, but he
suggested the establishment of a
strong central gold reserve in Great
Britain, to be composed of gold col
lected from the public by the is
suance of small paper notes, to be re-
deemed in silver and to be made le-
gal tender for only $40. The Eng
lish silver advocates of the time pre-
vented the adoption of the sugges-
ton, but Mr.. Frewen admits in his
letter to Mr.. Weeks that they were
shortsighted in this course, and he
now urgently presses the adoption of
the plan, both in his country and in
this. Mr.. Frewen's letter was pub
lished in the Congressional Record,
but at the time attracted no atten-
ton. In it he dwelt especially upon
the advantages the adoption of the
Goschen plan would be to the United
States. In part, he said:
The demand for silver to put
behind the small notes would raise
the price of silver bullion to 81 an
ounce. The effect of this rise in sill.
yer would be magical. 1t would
raise the exchange with silver-using
Asia; it would thereby greatly i'm.
pair the ability of Asia to export tc
Europe such products as wheat, cot.
ton, rice, timber. etc., products which
compete with your exports to Asia
which now languish with each fall in
exchange-in other words, with each
fall in the price of silver bullion.
You are building the Panama
canal, amongst other reasons, to as
sist your trade it'll the Orient A rise
of 80 cents in the price of silver bull
lion, while giving that profit to your
mountain states, would; by raising
the exchange with Asia, pay ant
probably many times over the entire
cost of the canal
In his interview here, Mr.. Frewer
expressed the opinion that if the gov
eminent of the United States woult
make the Goschen plan a basis for {
proposal to the British government
the proposal would be accepted will
alacrity, and perhaps by German!
Also
ut is probable that Mr.. Frewel
will be afforded an opportunity tt
outline his views before the none
tary commission"

possible to write that the inspection
service generally is efficient: that 7s0
establishments engaged in interstate
commerce which are under the jurls-
diction of the agriculture department
are obeying the law, and finally that
meat shipped by such establishments
and labeled by the government inspec-
tors is fit to eat. In a word, the de-
partment will make a sweeping vindl-
cation of its meat inspection branch.
President Taft will accept at their
face value the conclusions Of the spe-
cial committee as approved by Mr..
Wilson. While the president has shown
some interest in the. meat charges, he
has indicated clearly his confidence in
Mr.. Wilson by holding that the mat
ter is one which that official should
handle without any reference to the
White House. This Is accepted as prov
ing that the president is entirely satis-
fed with the way in which the agri-
culture department is being adminis-
tered
