LIQUIDATING DEBT CAUSED
BY BANK FAILURE

In an article printed in the Be
nanZa Sunday morning, relative 70
the democratic political pot, Sheriff
j. j. Owens was named as being the
choice Of one of the democratic fac.
tions for controller Of state. The
dopesters in the northern portion Of
the state we're wrong in naming MT.
Owens for that position. for he has
stated that he viii run for the Of
flee of secretary Of state, and from
reports received from different sec
tions, il is assured that Nye coun-
tvs candidate will capture the coyet-
ed Office.
While this paper is not OF the
democratic belief, IL is our opinion
that a better man could not have
been selected for the office of secre-
tary of state than Jack Owens. He
is widely known in Nevada, both
for his work in Office and in fra
ternal organizations.
While he has been conducting the
affairs of the sheriff's office there
has never been a eopmlaint, Tor
honesty Is his resounding virtue.
When the State Bank and Trust
company and the Nye and Ormsby
County banks closed their doors,
the institutions had on deposit a
sun of money belonging to the sher-
IFS Office that totaled somewhere
around $4,000. This amount ms
been greatly reduced owing to the
fact that Sheriff Owens has been
paying large sums monthly into the
county treasury, thus reducing the
amount he is liable for. When the
Nye and Ormsby County bank
failed, Mr.. Owens Immediately re-
leased his bondsmen and secured
surety bond. The above facts arc
not OF general knowledge and they
go to show the calibre of Sherln
Owens. The Indebtedness caused by
the closing OF the banks will hayt,
been paid within a short time ano
when j.. j. Owens completes M
term of office, the affairs wiz D,
turned over to his successor wlthou'
a shortage of one cent.

RAWHIDE NATIONAL MILL

(By Special Correspondence


RAWHIDE, Nov. 9.-The Nation
al Ore Purchasing and Reduction
company is negotiating with the Ne
vada Machinery and Supply company
of Reno for the installation of a fill
ter plant in connection with their
cyanide plant here, designed to han
die 40 tons of shines per "a hours.
The Burt filter now in use has not
proved practical for the ores of the
district. All during the past week,
plans pro and con were discussed
for the Improvement of the mill, as
to changes, additions etc.
f. w. King. on leaving for New
York. states that his trip is made
for the purpose of %perfecting arr
engagements for the installation of 4
20-stamp mill in place of the Nat
ional now working. The National
company was unable TO finance the
expensive changes in the mill, and
consequently the necessary cash is
advanced by the Queen company and
Mr.. King as an individual. They
will take a mortgage on the plant
and the improvements will at once
be added. Mr.. King is extremely

on the reduction of ores of the dis

manner, and it is with this end ii
view that the money raj advanced
and his trip east made at this time
It is safe to say that If Mr.. Kins
takes the proposition in hand Il
will receive his personal attention
and ii Is certain that the mill prop
osition looks more favorable today
than it has at any time in the his.

able information on the subject of

take agitation along practical lines.
The information furnished the
committee is of interest to those of

Caviare can be made of the roe OF

comes from the sturgeon and the bel

curious fish in the world. 1t weighs
up to 1000 pounds and inhabits the
waters Of the swift-nowing Volga. It
is SO abundant that the natives of
Astracan throw away the flesh
which is whittier than veal and very
dainty--and preserve only the spawn.

much as 200 pounds out of one FISH
This belluga lies on the bottom Of
the river at certain seasons and swal-
lows many large pebbles of great
weight to ballast itself against the

pebbles act as an anchor. When the

s-ow HATRED OF FOREIGNERS
Chinese Historical Plays That Keep
Alive Race Prejudice.

Historical plays are acted every
where IN China They are popular in
The quiet villages. the homes of the
rich. in the crowded cities, and in the
busy market towns. These plays are
written with the object OF intensity
ing the bitterness and contempt Of the
people against the foreigner. The
story Of plunderings and massacres Of
their forefathers is wildly portrayed.
with all the dramatic power that the
actors possess. The foreigner Is rep
resented as monster in appearance.
His face is dragged out OF shape and
his mouth Is made to appear near his
ear. His beard on one side is red and
on the other blue. His eyes are fierce
and staring. and murder is stamped
upon his hideous features. The peo-
pie Of the interior who have never
come into actual contact with the for
eigneE have this conception OF the
hated barbarian To their minds
Americans, French, English, Germans
are all alike barbarians to be de
stroyed
