Editor Sentinel:
| wish to take advantage Of your kind
offer to use the columns of your paper
in discussing the Water & Light ques-
ton.
."Onlooker" thinks the Commission"
plan would solve the problem that con-
fronts the City. But really Mr.. On
locker, is the city confronted by a real
problem?
"Citizen' says that if the plant was
the property of private corporation,
the first step they would take would be
to appoint a manager for it and hold
him strictly accountable He might
have added that private corporation
would also require the consumers to
pay liberal increase for service and
would require the city to pay over at
the end of each month about S. each
for every fire hydrant and about 81
each for every arc light in use in the
city, to say nothing of flush tanks, pub
lie watering places, etc. This little
warrant amounting to $500 or $500 per
month would help the private corpora
tion out nicely, now wouldn't it?
Citizen then proceeds to give some
figures and endeavor:: to show that the
system is operated in the loosest poss-
ible manner, and that the leaks are
something appalling.
These figures are quite astounding in
themselves; it appears, according to
Citizen that the burning of about
two and one-half tons of coal per day
at cost of about S. 25 per ton, should.
if properly converted into electricity.
earn revenue of LOG per day; likewise
s2.25 worth of coal properly applied to
the pumping of water should bring in
revenue of 5000 per day. $3O6. 40 reve-
nue. from an expenditure Of $3.50 is too
much for me, l admit; 10 enough to
make the most frenzied financief turn
green with envy and drown his sorrow
in drink. Mr.. Citizen, don't you think
you had better study up little and re-

RING A CANDIDATE.
Veteran State Suerintendent Consents
To Run Again.

CARSON CITY, Nevada, July 3--In
response to request made by a
committee of local school men, rep
resenting the known sentiment of
leading educators and other citizens
in all parts of the state, Superintend-
ent Orvis Ring has consented to be
a candidate for denomination for the
office of superintendent of public in
stfuction on the republican ticket.
5Forty-seven years ago, Mr.. Ring
came to Nevada a young college
graduate, and he has devoted nearly
all the intervening years to the cause
Of education in the state. He serv-
ed as teacher and principal for many
years In Reno and other towns, and
he is now completing his fourth term
as state superintendent His staight-
fcrwradness of character, his life
long devotion to the cause of educa-
tion, his continuous efforts in en-
couraging young men to strive for
an education, and his practical help,
financial and otherwise to such
young men has won for him the last
Ing respect and gratitude of the peo-
pie of this state.

Prospector's Endorsement.

Both the Phoebe weeklies will come
cut this week with big headlines tell
ing what rip-snorting time they
had last Monday 1t is not necessary
for the Prospector to do more than
endorse the sentiments that are ex-
pressed.
The Pioche people are boosters all
right. If the people of Caliente would
pull together with half the vim and
vigor expended by the county seat.
Calieute would have popu alton Of
5000 in six months. We have five
times the resources and advantages
of our sister on the hill. But 1t
dosnt do any good to roast Caliente.
You may as well pinch at an armadil-
10. Phoebe Is sensitive; point a crit
icising finger at one of her mines
and the camp wants to fight. When
you try to stir Caliente up, each
Eeighbor says that what you say just
hits the other fellow. Caliente needs
leader like Ed. Prudential.
The way Phoebe does things is a
credit to the state. They're not afraid
of four-bits up there. They have a
commercial club. Caliente could have
had one eighteen months ago. only
there would have had to be five pres.
idents. Ca.iente lacks local pride and
patriotism, the people that were born
here look sheepish when the census
man comes around
Phoebe organized brass band In
two days-and 1t was dandy, too
they're all too busy blowing their
own horns in Caliente, SO they havn't
time to get together.
Phoebe, on a side track, was sor.
ry when the wash-out came. Cal
iente, terminal and junction point
on the main line, and some of them
| prayed for this very wash-out "be
cause it would make times better"
When the road was rebuilt and the
branch re-opened, Phoebe honors the
company by big celebration ano
embraces Caiiente in its fervor
| They deserve all the praise they
are getting and then some.

FIRE DESTROYS
RESIDENCE Of
JAMES NESBlTf

Phoebe was visited by serious con.
fiagration last Sunday morning when
the home of James A. Nesbitt was
almost totally destroyed The wind
was blowing stiff gale. All things
considered it was fortunate that the
fire did not spread to adjoining prop
erty
The volunteer fire department res
ponded promptly and the men did he
roic work in the effort to extinguish
the blaze. but they were handicapped
Oh account of poor water pressure
In the mains.
Practically nothing was saved from
the building, and Mr.. Nesbitt's loss
will be compile as he carried no in
surance. The estimate loss is placed
NJ $4,000.
Just how the fire originated, is
mystery and probably will always
remain SO. 1t started, however, In
clothes closet, while the family
was at breakfast, and famed by the
stiff breeze the place was soon a
seething mass of flames.
Excepting what they had on at the
time. the family lost all their wear
ing apparel. For the present. and I'M
I'll, their home Is ressurected, Mr..
Nesbitt and his folks will be locat-
ed In the Ed. F. Prudential resi-
dence on Meadow Valley street.
