GIRL MINER

One OF the saddest instances Of the
ineXorable and Unsuitable fate thai
the desert holds for the unwary, was
given last night when Deputy Sheriff
Jack Marshall of Tonopah. brought
Helen Rope. cultured English girl,
from Tonopah, suffering from insan

fects of exposure on the desert sands
near Luning two weeks ago.

to America has been pitiable one

Their deprivations, disappOint

fail to the lot of the average pros
pector, but they knew little OF the
strange country. where death and
fortune play hide and seek with the
children of life.
They fitted up rude cabin in the
hills, where the plucky girl cooked
for both and made Il home in the sol
itudes, until one day she, too, heard
the siren-ca OF the shifting sands of
the desert in her brothers absence.

CASSON MINE
GOES AHEAD

On the Grutt- Balloon Hill lease ac-
tive progress work is being carried
on and it may now be said that the
ore shoot Is proven on the 185-fOOt
level for over 100 feet and for this
distance they are all in ore, says the
Rawhide Press Times.
A carload was dipped yesterday
to the HaZen sampler, ana another
will go out in a few days.
They are now prosecuting at the
250foot; level, which depth was
reached this week. They are en-
ploying three shifts of men in the
work and they expect to reach the
ore body within two weeks. The ore
shoot appears to be getting larger
with depth, and mining men are OF
the opinion that they will have a
large and rich ore shoot on this lev
ei.
The company is working on the
25O-fOOt Level almost exclusively on
account of the hoist being Inadequate
for the work They are not making
any effort take out any more ore
than necessary in the course OF de-
velOpment, but will wait for the big
plant to be installed. They are block
ing out the ore with this end in view
1t is said that the mine is looking
better than It ever mas. This is the

Likes The Thistle

Garden City, May l8.AThe fact
that the law makes it mandatory on
the board of county commissioners
and the county attorney to get rid
of Russian thistles, and that the
board will issue its order to the
township and road officers in June
when it meets as board of equaliz-
alton, is distasteful to some people
in the county.
d. w, Herman of Ravanna has
written the following letter to the
board:
81 see that you are going to put a
big tax on the owners of land to rid
the county OF Russian thistles.
81 hope you Will not do so. You
put so much tax on the land people
won't buy it or settle in our county.
It's less taxes and more set lers we
need. "
"Besides, the Russian thistle
makes good hay and good pasture.
My cattle eat it in the wheat a.,d
let the wheat alone"
Members OF the board and coun-
ty attorney say Dir. Herman appar-
emily proceeds on the theory that
the thistle order is entirely optional
with them. He seems to overlook
the fact, they say, that the law is
plain, and that it uses the words
"must" and "shall". There are no
two ways aboutit, they say.
OF course the officers would like
to see other counties adjoining take
up the matter, SO that, if Finney
county is cleared up on thistles,
there will not be crops in other
counties to blow over this clean
county and seed it.
The order will be made by the
commissioners in June,

ONE MAKES LAW
FOR Ninety MILLION
ALDRICH HAS CONTROL OF
TARIFF QUESTION
Has Bought Off Other Republican
Members of Committee-Demo-
ings-Taft is Stay
ing Out.
(By Clyde H. Tavenner.)

I By Clyde IL. IaVenner.)
Washington, April 27.-The
work of revising the tariff up
ward goes merrily on.
One man to all practical ends
is generously doing all the work.
True, there are 81 other able
senator's here, but in the last
analysis one man will virtually
make a tariff law for 90,000.000
of people. That man is Senator
A1drich of Rhode Island.
He is chairman of the Senate
Finance committee, to which
body the Payne bill was referr-
ed after it came to the senate
from the house. On this FAM
Gus committee there are nine
Republicans and five Democrats.
The Democrats might as well
not be on the committee, because
when hearings are held they are
excluded from the com mittee
room and when it comes to vot-
ing, five stand no chance against
nine.
Republicans Do Nothing
But there are five new Repub-
lican mem bers serving on the
committee. What are they
doing toward revision down
ward? Nothing. Senator Aid
rich has given each of them
sugar tariff plum. This has
been accepted as payment in full
for non-interference with the
new England manufacturers
enormous profits.
One of the new members of
the com mittee is Lodge of Mas
sachusetts. There were al
ready two New England repres-
entatives on the com mittee-Ald-
rich of Rhode Island and Hale of
Maine-but Senator Aldrich de-
cided a third New Englander
should be added on the eve Of
the tariff revision. Lodges con-
StituentS-the manufacturers
have been looked after, and so
he has no reason to oppose any
of Aldrich's plans.
McCumber of North Dakota
is another new member. Agri-
cultural products have been
taken care of, and McCum Der
has no kick coming. Although
the duty of grains has been rails
ed, the farmer does not profit,
as the United States produces
more grain than it consumes.
But McCumber may claim that he
has benefited the farmer in cam
paign speeches and because AID
rich has permitted him to have
his little plum he will not antag
onize the senate boss.
Wool Duty For Smoot
Another new memb is Reed
Smooth of Utah. Senator Aid
rich has given him a nice duty on
wool and the Utah senator sits in
his seat perfectly contented.
He has had his way in wool and
Aldrich can have his way in
everything else.
Still another new mem Der of
the Finance committee is Flint of
California. Is his voice ever
heard protesting against the alb
normal protection given New
England multi-millionaire manu-
facturers. No, his support to
Aldriehism has been bought and
paid. The price amounted to
an advance of duties on Cali
fornia fruits.
The old nam hers of tbe com.

mlttee have had their usefulness
to the people purchased by Aid
rich in a similar way, Under
the domination of Aldrich, the
revision of the tariff is at best
no better, than farce. He has
apparently given no considera-
ton whatever to the popular de-
nand for revision downward.
When Senator Bailey of Texas
in fighting one of the vicious adj
vances$ ia rates of the Aldrich
measure, declared that the voter
of the west had been lead to be
lieve thesrevision would be down.
ward in case of Republican Aid
rich fatty contradicted this view.
He made it plan that the Rep
ublican party stood for higher
duties, and there had.never been
any intention of revising the
acreage tariff rate downward.
This is taken to indicate that
tariff revision downward must
be taken before the people again
at the coming congressional
elections. It has been made GER
ta,nly that downward revision
can never be secured from a
Repu blican congress.
Senate To Enact Laws
In the meantime the senate
will enact the prasent tariff bill
into law. Aldrich will add a
touch here and there until it suits
his fancy. 1t should not be un-
derstood no one but Aldrice ever
gets the floor in the senate. AS
matter of fact, nearly all of the
senators but Aldrich do the
talking. He listens principally.
The speeches denouncing this or
that feature of the bill are prin-
cipally protests. In the end, the
bill will read az Aldrich desires.
There will be muttering- aplenty
even by Republican senators,
but not from those senator's who
might be able to get results.
Senator Aldrich voluntarily
stakes care Of" the interests of
those lawmakers whom he con-
siders strong enough to inter-
fere with his plans. All other
senators, regardless of the num-
Der of speeches and exposes they
make, must remain out in the
cold.

discussion OF the merits OF this DO
sition, stating that it is debataDle

would consider 1t an unfriendly ant
to exclude from the public schools
the children OF it's subjects.
The governor points out that tho
children OF all European nations are
granted the privilege OF attending
the public schools OF California and
that a state law makes compulsory
the attendance OF all resident chill

The governor calls attention to the
protest which President Roosevelt
wired TO him and declares that there
is no present danger to the cali
fornia schools by reason OF the at
tendance of Japanese pupils, 50 far
as is known.
The opinion of Secretary of State
Root in the San GranGsco case is
quoted by the governor in support
of his contention. In conclusion he
says l

message to YOU with, the full hope
and belief that when final action
shall be taken nothing viii be done
which can be the subject OF criti-
cism by the people OF this nation
and that no law will be enacted
which will be In contravention with
