Never again will the citizens of
Tonopah fear an invasion of the
yellow peril. Never again will we
shake in our shoes when bill to
repel the Japs is introduced in our
state legislature. For last evening
at the Pavilion theater there was
presented one of the neatest mill
tary drills by sixteen of Tonopahs
prettiest young ladies that has ever
been our pleasure to witness. The
drill corps was under the command
of Mrs. p. D. Mcleod and after each
evolution, the ladies were greeted
with tremendous applause. All the
mysterious maneuvers OF a fancy
foot-work exhibition were present.

Quilted themselves creditably would
be mild way of paying them the
tribute they deserve for their efforts

Mr.. w. d. Forster, general traf-
fic agent of the Tonopah and Gold
field railroad is also deserving of
credit, for it was due to his efforts
that the team reached the high mark
of efficiency. At the conclusion of
the military drill the team present
ed a physical drill with swords that
equalled the first performance. In
response to the generous outburst of
applause that greeted this number
they returned to the stage, each
wearing an electric torch on her cap
and again went through several
more bewildering evolutions. The
members of the team were Captain

DAY
OF The TRIAL
OF v. F. FORD

The second day of the trial of the
state of Nevada VS.. w. F. Ford was
devoid of any excitement and the
entire session yesterday was mainly
taken up in the launching of lengthy
interrogations by the learned coun-
sci for the defense. At the close of
the session last evening but six jur-
ors had been accepted temporarily,
subject to a peremptory challenge.
A few clashes were INDUCED in
by counsel, but they were of an i'm
material nature. When the district
attorney propounded the following
to one of the venire in the jury box
an audible laugh resounded through
out the court room:
Would the statements of the elo-
quent counsel for the defense tend
to bias you in any way toward
reaching a verdict in the case?"
The prompt mo, SIR" somewhat
startled the eloquent attorney for
the defense, but only for a second,
and after launching an ancient pun
he resumed his seat.
From the general line of ques-
lions fired by the defense it is very
evident that counsel has a strong
prejudice against grand juries for
he referred to them several times as
star chamber proceedings. One of
the bits of Information he elected
into the questioning was that when
the grand jury was in session the
persons that appeared before them
are seeking indictments, and conse-
quently only one side of the story
is heard. The learned CD legal light
was evidently speaking from re-
cent experience.
An interesting clash occurred dur
ing the afternoon session when the
two-candle power legal light accused
the district attorney of having Sc
cured the columns of the Bonanza
to spread the trial proceedings
broadcast and also accused the Bo
nanza of printing falsehoods.
At this District Attorney Baker
asked for proof and stated thai
counsel for the defense was en-
deavoring to place the state in /;
prejudiced light before the jury TIT
proof was not presented and it il
an assured fact that the "fightins
lawyer" was as usual talking for tn,
sake of having his remarks go int,
. the records where in his ancien
days he could read and laugh owe
the witty saying that had been &C
credited to him when he was in hi
glory. Probably he may intend t.
publish his witticisms in book forr
: and present a few copies to hi
. many friends. They should prove t
1 be valuable collection and n
: doubt the State Historical societ
: will preserve a copy in thei
n archives.
: At the conclusion of the trial tn
t following jurors were in the box
: John Nicol, E. Pollard, John Grac,

e R. T. Barrett.

on the program was song and
dance by Babe Hackley, who is one
of the best juvenile actresses in this

White Plague Campaign

A campaign against the White
Plague is universal. A half mile
Of publicity is. given to the sub,
iect each week. This is the nn-
lone statement made by the Ma
tional Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis
According to recent statistics
complied by this body the varl ,
GUS newspapers Of the United
States printed articles concerning
tuberculosis which, when meaSur'
ed. amounted to over $4,000 inch
es of space in two weeks, The
investigation which the national
association conducted included all
the daily and weekly newspapers
of the United States as. well as
some of the larger journals and
magazines. In the two weeks $
which were taken. as a standard
Il was found that 51,557 column
inches. of space was devoted to
the subject. If all Of this matter
were gathered together at one
time it would make a newspaper
of the ordinary size. of 1863 pages
printed solid without any adver.
tisement, all on. the subject OF
tuberculosis. If it were arrang,
ed in one long chain it. would
make a single column OF. four
fifths of mile cong and two

The Hard Coal Supply

|. Seven railroads cnontrOl the
country'S hard coal supply, and
fix the prices which consumers.
shall pay. therefor. One Of them
the Lackawanna, handles about a
sixth of the total product and.
pays its stockholders twenty per
cent a year in dividends. 1t mar
kets some forty million dollars
worth Of hard coal annually. Be
sides the. direct: profit on the
coal, the road derives a gross
freight revenue of fourteen mil
ion dollars a year from hauling
lit. Its annual report for 1908
says: 'The price Of. anthracite
coal established in 1902 has been
generally well maintained in all
markets Partly to break up
this coal monopoly the law says
| a railroad must not own, direct
| " or indirectly the coal which it
transports. The Lackawanna, here
tofore owning the coal which it
transported, has now organized
a coal company, the capital stock
of which it has given gratis to
its own. stockholders. Hereafter
the railroad will mine the coal,
then sell it to the company, which
its stockholders own, then trans
port it. Under the recent supreme
court decision, this arrangement
is perfectly. legal. The law says
you must not have in your pos
ession any. dies from which cOun-
terfeit money may be made. il
you tie a string to the dies ana
hang them out of the window
the law will consider them still
in your possession and punish
'[you accordingly. This simply il
Illustrates one Of the. differences
between you and a railroad. In
cidentally, the Lackawanna gives
its stockholders an extra cash div
idend. Of twenty-five per cent
and an extra dividend Of fifteen
per cent in stock worth six hun
dred dollars a share, besides the
stock Of, the new. coal company.

Heavy Drains on Nations Forests

1.-THE total yearly drain upon
our forests, not counting losses
from fires, storms, and insects, is
some twenty billion cubic feet, u

ester in charge of the office of
forest statistics, in a publication
Just issued by the Forest Service
on. 1.-THE Timber Supply of the
United States -. p
''0ur present forest area of
$50 million acres may be rough
ly estimated to. consist Of 200 mil
lion acres of mature forests, in
WHICH the annual growth is bal
anced by death and decay, Of
$50 million acres partially cut. or
burned. over, on which, with reas-
enable. care, there is sufficient
young growth to produce in the
course" Of time az merchantable,
but not a full crop of. timber, and
100 million. acres of more Sc,
vereIy cut and burned over for
ests, on which there is not suffic-
lent young growth to produce an
other crop Of much value.
'Taken as a % whole, the an
nltal growth Of oilr forests under
these conditions does not exceed :.
cubic feet per acre, a total Of
less than seven billion cubic feet
That Is. we are cutting our for
ests three times as fast as they
aye growing. There is menace in
Che continuance of such condition
While we might never reach alb
solnte timber exhaustion, the
unrestricted exploitation of our
forests in the. past has already
had serious. effects, and it will
have much worse if it is allowed
to continue unchecked. O..
o"White pine, for instance,
which was once considered mex
haustible, has fallen off seventy
per cent in cut since 1890, and
more than fOrty-five per cent
since 1900. The cut of oak, our
most valuable hardwood lum,
Der, has decreased sixteen per
cent since 1900, and that of yell
low poplar twenty-five per cent.

other woods if they are not con-

> 1.-THE fact that timber has
been cheap and abundant has
made us careless of its produc-
ton and reckless in its use. We
take $50 cubic feet of wood per
capita annually from our. forests,
while Germany uses only thirty
seven cubic feet, and France but
twenty-five. On the other hand |
Germany, who has learned her
lesson. makes her state forests
prduce an average Of forty !
eight cubic feet ofwoOd per acre.
We have as fast-growing spec

as good or better forest soil if

Court AffiTTns Verdict Of Guilty.
in Walsh Case.
AGED BANKER CONTINUES FIGHT
Released on Bond Pending Mo-
ton for a Rehearing.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-John r. Walsh,
convicted of misapplication of the
funds of the Chicago National bank,
must serve sentence of five years
Imprisonment imposed upon him by
the trial jury unless the supreme court
upsets affirmation of a verdict of
guilty handed down by the United
States circuit court of appeals here.
Counsel for Mr.. Walsh in their ap-
peal laid the greatest stress on what
they alleged was lack of criminal
intent on the part of the defendant
In the very lengthy brief which they
filed much law was quoted to show
that the convicted banker used the
funds of the bank in what he consid-
cred legitimate manner.
The opinion of the court of appeals,
written by Judge Humphrey and
handed down by Judge Grosscup, is
brief and is confined almost wholly to
the question of criminal intention.
Allegations that Juror Palmer was
undu1y Influenced are dismissed with
a word and but little more is said in
eliminating allegations of inconsist-
ency and repugnancy.
Walsh Remains at Liberty.
Counsel for Mr.. Walsh have thirty
days in which to file application for a
rehearing by the court Of appeals
Meanwhile he will be at liberty under
his present bonds Of $4,000.
The three Walsh banks-the Chi
cago National the Equitable Trust
company and the Home Savings bank
were closed by the comptroller of
the currency Dec. Is, 1905, nearly five
years ago. At that time Walsh not
only owned these institutions and the
Chicago Chronicle, but owned all or
nearly all of the stock of score of
railroad and industrial concerns
According to the brief of the gov
ernment on the appeal all of these
companies were bankrupt, or on the
verge of it, when secured by Walsh
for little or nothing. The securities
were unmarketable and practically
worthless. Then, it is alleged, Walsh
formed corporations to buy these COM
panies from himself, taking in pay.
ment stock Of the new corporations
and enough of their bonds to repay
himself at their face value for the
sums he actually paid for them. In
this way, according to the prosecution,
he secured for nothing stocks !, and
bonds to the face value of $50 0,000,0 900,
