PROGRESSIVE NEW SMYRNA
NEW SMYRNA Is situatcd fftee,

NEW SMYRNA Is situated fifteen
miles south of Dzytona and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by
hard surface road winding through
one OF the most picturesque parts of
Florida.
With its ancient ruins dating back
TO a time when the history Of man
runneth not, interlaced with wires of
the modern telegraph and telephone,
its miles OF shell streets as hard and
smooth as floor and over-arched by
hoary forest giants that grew in state
ly grandeur during the lapse Of by
gone centuries, New Smyrna is truly
place Of romance and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
too is TO be found the best fishing and
hunting in the State of Florida.
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men enterprising. and all unite
in extending the welcome hand of
hospitality to strangers. There are
FIVE church edihces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rary, and up-tO-date business houses.
There are any number Of pretty
homes for the permanent population
which numbers close to 1000, and
some very fine winter residences
There are good hotels and boarding
houses where you can find accomO-
datiOns to meet your requirements.
Adjoining New Smyrna is as fine a
section Of vegetable land as can be
found anywhere. This land has
been divided into small farms which
can be bought at reasonable prices.
Some Of the finest celery grown in
the State is raised on this land. All
other vegetables grow in abundance,
and here, too, is the home Of the fam
Gus Indian River oranges.
New Smyrna has no bonded in
debtedness and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail
to visit is the ruins of the Old Span
iSh Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest of New Smyrna A coed
road leads to the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile.
Silent in the great pine fats by the
margin of the forest, is this place Of
for the pious; this rem
devious for the picnicker. The ruins
are extensive, aud while there is no
authentic history of their origin, it
is presumed that the Mission was
built by the FrancisCans IN the days
when the once powerful KINGDOM Of
Spain first planted its flag upon what
is now American soil. 1t was built
Of cOquina, the roof being Of the

and senator Newlands and one to
use their best efforts to MAINTAIN the
Indian School.
Superintendent Asbury has made
recommendations to the department
OF the interior asking that certain
land and water rights be purchased
for the use of the school. These rec
concentrations Were passed over as it
was understood the school was TO be
abandoned. The telegram of the
Promotion Association has reached
the center of affairs in the Indian

Nevada representatives have been

sire for information as to lands and

Many benefits to the Indian race
and to Ormsby county are derived
from this institution and every effort

posed merely through a piece of per-

REMAINS TO AR
RIVE TO-MORRO$

ELSTNER-
Word was received here last night
that Mrs. Elstner had started from
San Francisco to bring the body of
her husband to Carson by way OF
Los Angeles and Goldfieid. This will
necesstate a three day journey and
is a very trying trip.
The sympathy of Carson people
certainly goes out to Mrs. Elstner in
her sad trial.
Percy Elstner was we'll known in
Carson, having been born here, and
he will be greatly missed by his
many friends.
He leaves two sisters Mrs. Jennie
Kaiser, and Mrs. Lucy Doyle of San
Francesca and brother Harry Elstn-
er who are the only three remain
ing of a large family.
The funeral will probably take
place on Monday in this city.

SOUND ADVICE TO
LEGISLATURE
SOME SUGGESTIONS
REGARDING NEW BILLS

I lars have been taken from a former
ly trusting public, have made Nevada
a stencil in the nostrils of the public
in general: have made any allusion
to the mineral wealth of the state
come TO be designated by certain
inelegant but expressive current
phrase.
The sooner the outside world comes
to know that Nevada regards the
heecing OF the public by fake min
ing promotions as a felony, the better
it will be for Nevada. Here, in this
connection, is where the mine in
spector can do some good work-pro-
yiding he is man of ability and
integrity. What will the Legislature
do along this line? The members of
the coming legislature have it in their
power to be OF great and real benefit
to the state, but are not many of
them sent to the legislature by the
men who are back OF illegtmate in
terests for the very purpose OF block
ing such legislation; and are not too
many of the members of the iegisla-
ture planning to make money from
just such wildcat schemes to ever
hope for the puritication of The min
ing atmosphere by their action?

v. g. T. IN SHAPE

The V. & T. has finished tempo
rary repairs on the line between
Carson and Reno and is pushing the
work of reconStructing the line as
fast as possible.
Two trains were sent over the line
today; one at eleven thirty. which
carried the passengers bound for Re
no and other points. who have been
marooned here for two days, togeth-
er with the mail which had accumu-
lated during the blocade.
The passenger was scheduled to re-
turn from Reno on the locals time,
and will run to Carson and Vir-
ginia ahead of time. leaving Virginia
on regular time to handle the Mound
House connection and the regular
mail, express and passenger traffic
from this city to the main line of
the Southern Pacific.
Gen. Mgr Yerington expects
things TO be normal by Sunday morn
ing. thanks to the efforts of his crew.
The general passenger and freight
agent went to Reno this morning to
look after all perishable freight at
that point for Carson City and other
places served by the V. & T. The
local freight will be taken care of
by the double header freight which
went ont this mnrpipp
g road is in goot shape and, bar
ring accidents, will be running its
trains on time tomorrow.
The Minden branch is in good ord
er despite the high water and every
thing is running smoothly on the

GOOD RAILROAD WORK

Two mud begrimed men stood AT
the side of the V. & T. track today
as the first train two days passed
over the main line toward Reno and
smiled at each other. One was Chief
Engineer Kirk and the other was
Roadmaster Hibbets.
Both men, with forty or fifty work
men have toiled night and day COW
erng washouts with cribbing, sacks
OF dirt and stone; building dams to
prevent further damage to the tracks
from water and opening drains to
relieve the permanent way from fur
ther washouts.
That the company is able to run
trains over the line SO soon is due
to the efforts of both Mr.. Kirk and
Mr.. Hibbets.

The storm which has been raging
all over this section of the country
since Tuesday last is practically at
an end altho' small showers may be
looked for at any time.
The damage in the Carson Valley
while heavy, does not entail a heavy
loss. The fields are covered with
logs and debris left there by the
receding waters and the bridges are
all in good condition with the eX-
ception of the McTiernahan bridge

The Carson River is still high but

LEGISLATURETO
OPEN MONDAY

The state legislature will be called
to order Monday for the oath bien-
nial session.
The Governors message will be
submitted either Monday or Tuesday
and the session after organization
will get down to business Immediate
ly.
OF course the most interesting
question right now is the choice to
be made for President Of the Senate.
and Speaker for the Assembly.
For the first, George d. Pyne, of
Esmeralda, a hold over senator, is
the most important candidate. Sena-
tor Boyd has declined the honor as
has Senator Bell, and as the senate
is Democratic it is almost foregone
conclusion that Pyne will land.
J. B. Griffen, of Manhattan will
in all probability be the Speaker OF
the House, as he is the most prOmi-
nent candidate for the office.
AS to the attaches, that question is
yet to be settled. There are as usu-
al about 700 candidates for each
place, men women and children with
out regard to race, color or previous
condition of 'servitude. The Demo
cratic state central cOmmitte, backed
by the Governor, intends to carry out
the agreement made before election
in the apportionment Of attaches, and
this will be done without doubt.

lators, prospective attaches and 9th
