n mine of practical, available infprma-
ton on the subject of irrigation and
reclamation, not to speak of the geo
graphical and statistical data which
proved of great use to the members.
For years Colonel MaxSon worked for
irrigation and he is conceded to be one
Of the first men to undertake agitation
along practical lines.

REPUBLICAN, 5O-CENT DOLLARS

Running away from the fifty cent
dollar we seem to have gone headlong
into it. If William j. Bryan's financial
views of 1896 threatened to cut the
purchasing value of a dollar down to
fifty cents, the republican policy since
that time has in reality accomplished
the cut. In 1896 the cost per pound of

Restriction or Prohibition, Which,

Rev. w. L. Dexter, superinten dent of
the work of the anti-saloon league in
Nevada, delivered an interesting adj
dress ut the Presbyterian church last
night. Nevada is the last state in the
union to he invaded by this league. All
the other states have taken up the work
in earnest and its effects are seen in the
ever increasing area of dry" territory.
Conditions in Nevada are ripe for this
movement and we predict it will gather
force until more stringent laws for the
control of the liquor traffic are placed
upon our statute books. The saloon
must go" has been the slogan by which
state after state has fallen into the pro-
hibition column.
Where will Nevada stand when the
fight is overY Unless more restrictions
are placed on the liquor traffic and the
people given the right to say by their
votes whether or not they want saloons
in their communities, there will come
an awakening that will sweep this state
into the prohibition column. The solid.
sober thought of this state demands
that something be done to control this
traffic, and those engaged.in it should
join in the demand and assist in passing
laws for its control.
If they take the opposite course, they
will force the people to decide between
present conditions and prohibition. If
that time comes, we believe the solid
citizenship of the state will he enrolled
under the prohibition banner. And
! this is no idle dream.
