EIGHT YEARS AGO.

Eight years ago when Tonopah was
in its infancy, and the residents.
about fifty In number. lived in tents.
the place was visited by spell of
weather that bore strong resem-
blance to the kind we have been en-
joying for the last few days. At that
time the camp was visited by severe
wind and snow storm and many of
the tents were blown down. causing
great hardship to the miners on ac-
count OF the cold Some people here
today talk OF present hardships. while
In fact they dwell In palaces and live
ON the luxuries OF the land.

Throughcmf County.

Corpus christi, Texas. Oct. 22--An-
nouncing himself as an enthusiastic ad-
yOcate of deep waterways, when such
projects can be shown to be practical
BILE and necessary, and declaring that
the piecemeal procession by jerks
policy of Congress in the past with
reference to such improvements should
be replaced with a definite. general
plan for opening up great avenues of
commerce. President Taft aroused the
delegates to the convention of the In
terstate Inland Waterways League. in
session here today. to an enthusiastic
demonstration of approval.
Continuing. the President said that
In addition to extending commerce.
deep inland waterways would serve as
the best means of controlling railroad
rates. In the meantime, however, he
urged the adoption of the interstate
commerce laws to make their provisions
more effective. Mr.. Taft added. how
ever. that he did not favor radical Leg
islation; that his purpose merely was
to keep railroad companies within
bounds of the law and down to reason
able rates. He said the railroads
should be encouraged.
In this connection he took occasion
to refer to the fact that in some local
tiles there is disposition to do in
Justice to the railroads and to dfive
the corporations to a system of econ
omy. which prevents the development
of the country through which they pass.
The President said II was often the
case that the citizens of a county
would go to any extent to get a. rail-
road to come into the county. but once
there. not a friend of the railroad could
anywhere be found, except perhaps the
local counsel.
The President declared that the halt
ing sporadic system Of river and har.
Dor improvements in the past was not
due to the army engineers, but was
the work of the committees In Con-
gress, who had responded to clamor
from home and to party consldera-
tons.

CONSIDER NEW PROBLEM.
Action of Germans COneerninE Potash
Worries Oniclals.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The announced
Intention OF the German government to
ask the Reichstag for authority to I'm :
pose what would amount to an export
duty on crude potash exported to Amer
lea In the interest of the syndicate
which controls the majority of the pot
ash mines OF Germany, has already at
tracted the attention of some ohiciais
in washington who are devoting much
time to the solution of the problems
that are daily arising in connection
with the application Of the new duties
under the Payne Aldrich act.
Onhand. the opinion is expressed that
any such action would constitute just
such a discrimination against America
al Is described in Section Of the new
tariff act. If that we're found to be the
case, then It would be obligatory upon
the President to penalize all German
innorts into America by the imposition
of 20 per cent more duty than they
would otherwise pay.
