Fine Celery Is
Raised near Car .

II. A. Norcross. formerly a resi-
dent of this city but who now resides
at Lake View where he has some
mining property, is spending the day
in this city on business Mr.. Nor
cross paid this city a visit this morn
ing and brought with him one of the
finest heads of celery that we have
yet seen. The bunch is over two
feet high and of grade seldom seer
here Mr.. Norcross states that had
he mad plenty of water the product
would have been much better than
the sample brought here this morning
The success of Mr. Norcross sim
ply shows that celery can be raised
in this county as we'll as in Califor-
MIA and that the ranchers here nave
the same opportunity of supplying
the local market as the merchants in
the outside state. The stalks are ex-
tremely tender, so much more so
than the imported product that there
is no comparison.
A great deal Of celery is used in
this section and it would be we'll for
some of the gardeners to investigate
tine crop that has been raised by Mr.
Norcross and do likewise

\ movement is now under way il
Tonopah to charter special train
for the purpose Of attending the in
augural ball in Carson City in Janu-

elect, Lieutenant-G -GovernCr-e elect and

years
1t is intended that the train leave
Tonopah at night arrive in Reno on
the following morning then proceed
to Carson. The fare should be nomi-
nal. probably one and one-third fare
for the round trip. 1t is urged that
everyone get out and boost the prop

to make the special train an assured
fact
The inaugural ball is one of the
greatest events in Carson. and will
take place early in January. The ex-
act date has not been decided upon
as yet. but it is thought that it will
take place few days before the CON

from all over the State will be in at

Big Dividend
Is Declared

AT the regular quarterly meeting
OF the Board of Directors OF the To
nopah- Belmont Development Com
pany, held at Philadelphia yesterday,
the regular quarterly dividend OF IS
cents per share was declared The
new dividend was made payable Jan
uary 2. 1911. and the books of the
company will close on December IS,
1910.
The Belmont has a capitalization
Of 100000 shares. OF which but l.
100000 has been issued. This will
make the total of the dividend reach
$225,0 ,000 the same as was declared in
August and paid on October 18th
The two dividends for the year will
total S450OO0
Up to date the Belmont t1as paid
out in dividends $743,000 and the lat
est will bring the total up to So6S00O
With the present condition of the
Belmont mine, the dividends will be
a steady proposition.
While the amount at the present
time is somewhat small. it must be
remembered that there is great deal
of dead work now going on. The
erection of the new hoist and the
preparations for starting operations
through the Belmont shaft necessi-
tated the expenditure of a large sum,
and the company is DESTROYS of keep
ing a healthy amount in the treasury
for an emergency. There is now er~
erv reason TO believe tnat the next
dividend will be for the regular
amount with an extra portion in
cluded.

A PUBLIC LOAN SHOP.
How Kansas City Expects to Aid the
Poor BY Loans.

Kansas City Is one Of the most en-
terprising of the numerous enter
prising cities of the great southwest.
1t has demonstrated this by pushing
to success many public movements
which have contributed very mate
rally to it's rapid growth. When 1t
comes to the conclusion that it needs
something. it Immediately proceeds
to get busy and go after it.
This is the spirit that builds great
cities on enduring foundations.
Furthermore ii may be said in behalf
Of that city that in seeking to build. II
has been more mindful of the welfare
Of the man at the bottom-the hum
bic laborer who tolls for a meager
daily wage and sometimes finds him
self without a job and without food
at one and the same time-than
many ambitious cities. by providing
places of refuge from the wolf or
hunger" until he again finds employ
ment. The city that thus builds can
rest secure in the knowledge that no
competition is powerful enough to
prevail againt 1t.
In this connection, as supporting
what has been said above, we repro
duce the following editorial from the
Kansas City Times referring to pub
lie enterprise. just started In that city:

the direction Of the board or pubic

welfare will be an even harder blow
to the sharks than has been their
persecution in the courts. By MAX
ing use Of the laws delays and by
various subterfuges the sharks have
been able to stay in business. But
the public loan shop threatens them
in a vital spot. For 1t will cut their
profits. When people find they can
get money on reasonable terms from
the new institution why should they
go to the shark and pay 10 per cent
a month? In making possible the
public loan office Mr.. Volker, presi-
dent Of the board Of public welfare,
has added another fine service to the
long list Of his contributions to the
general welfare"
Here Is movement that might find
imitation in many ambitious cities.
The loan shark Is curse to any city,
yet to the under man in the strug-
gle for existence he has made himself
a necessity. These things should not
be in any community where its peo-
pie profess to love their fellowmen.
1t is short-sighted, uneconomic policy
on the part Of any city that permits

Used For Reformation of Colorado
Convicts.
In the Colorado state penitentiary
there are some seven hundred and
fifty prisoners. Over half Of this
number are outside the walls, the
free winds upon their faces, their
white tents pleasantly fecking tire
green of many a mountain valley and
grassy plain, and never a sign to show
that they are the condemnees Of So
ciety. No striped ticking shames their
backs; they sing and laugh after the
manner of free men as they swing
their roads pasts granite lodges or
stack alfalfa on leased farms and
neither during the day nor through
the night do armed guards stand
around in sullen watchfulness. In
these road camps and farm colonies
are criminals Of every degree and
term-crooks, highwaymen. murder
ers, train robbers and border despera-

flight. the one thing that holds them
back from escape, is the word Of

they left their cells for the open.
In a wholesome environment, hap

The doing away with the armed

of guns and revolvers made for re-
