Announcement was made at

week that he will open the
forthcoming campaign at

5th. He will be accompanied
on that occasion by Hon. j. l.

On the same day Hon. I. j

On September 9th, Mr.. Slemp,

ORDER OF
RED MEN
OF Virginia Endorse National
Indian Monument.

Washington, August l2.-Ad-
ded impetus has been given to
the movement to erect a suita-
BILE memorial 10 the North
American Indian in New York
Haroor by the hearty co-opera-
tion of the various Orders of
Red Men throughout the coun-
try.
At a recent session of the
Great Council of Virginia, held
at Newport News, Representa-
tive II. William May, Of Vir-
ginia, offered resolution,
which was unanimously adopt
ed, instructing the Virginia
delegation 10 the Great Council
Of Red Men of the United
States, which cOnvenes in an
nual session in Detroit early
next month. 10 introduce a res
olution having for its purpose
the endorsement of this colOs-
sal memorial.
Mr.. Walter s. Michley, the
Great Prophet Of Virginia, who
is one of the delegates 10 the
Detroit Convention, is in hearty
sympathy with the movement,
and on the part of the Virginia
Red Men, will support il in
every way.
The movement 10 erect .his
gigantic memorial 10 the In
dian at the entrance Of the Ma
tion, originated with Mr.. Rod
man Wanamaker. Of Philadel-
phia, who, for years, has been a
close student of the Indian on
his native ground. The bill pro-
viding for the same was intro.
duced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Congressman
/ Joseph 4. Goulden. of New
York, at the past session. and
was favorably reported by the
Committee on Library, 20 which
IL was referred. IL is expected
that this bill will be enacted
into law at the next coming
session.

TITLES

Harlan, Ky, Aug. 12.-The
Kentenia Corporation, the most

in this section of the State, has
perfect its title to a bound
airy of 10000 acres of land in
the Southeastern part of this
county and in Bell county, and
will soon make leases for devel-
Opment. This concern is cap
italized at $4,000. 600, and has
its principal Offices at South
Yarmouth. Mass. Charles H.
Davis. Of New York, is presi-
dent Of the corporation, and has
been the moving spirit in work
ing up the enormous boundary
which il now controls.
10 1916 three Harlan men
Smith, Ledford and Skidmore-
made "A survey which included
Sc, 600 acres of land in Harlan

was held by the heirs OF these

chased the survey.
Left Unclaimed for Years.
No effort was made to gair

GOOD N. &
W. SHOWING
Made By Coal Shipments Dur
ing Month of July.

Bluefield, w. Va, July 10
The Norfolk & Western coal
shipments for July will fall less
than a hundred cars short of
April, which was the largest
month in the history of the
road. This record is remar&a-
BILE, and shows the amount of
coal which has been mined dur
ing the last twenty days of the
month. During the early part
of the month the shipments
were comparatively light. on
account of the Fourth of july
celebrations. which the miners
had to have as usual. Since
that time the men have had
steady work at most of the
mines, and although the region
has by no means worked tC
capacity the amount of Goa
shipped will 90 over 400, ,O0s
tons. The official figures ar,
not yet available and probably
will not be given out by th'
railroad company from its Roa

! more.

markets show that at last tn

While on this subject, we
take the opportunity of remind
ing people that the good roads
movement and politics should
be kept separate, and that one
should not be allowed TO Ob
scure or distract public atten-
tion from the other. lt is al
right for Democrats and kepub

Mullins 2O0O acre fine coal and

Sen. DIX Smith
MAKES LARGE
Land DEAL

The heaviest land deal that has taken
place in. this county in decades has been
practically eousummated. 1t amounts
to 100000, a bond for that sum having
been executed between Senator p. l..
Flanagan of Reno, W. Pinctney of Pitts
burg, Pa, and Senator Dix w. Smith of
Elmira, New York. The properties
bonded are ranch holdings owned by
Senator Flanagan. The papers have not
yet been recorded, but will be as soon
as Senator Flanagan returns from a trip
to his Constantia ranch and afixes the
necessary signatures.
Nor is this the extent of Senator
Smiths operations here. 1t is under
stood that he has formed a partner
ship with Mr.. P%inctney and Senator
Flanagan by which immense sums Of
eastern money will be brought to Ne
vada and invested in realty holdings and
various enterprises employing labor and
utilizing the raw products of the state.
1t is, altogether, the biggest and best
proposition that has ever been breach
ed in this state:
Mr.. Pinctney is one of the most not
ed attorneys in the east and is the rep
resentative of large wealth, as is also
s .nator Smith. The latter financed the
Florence Annex and Gem leases on
the Florence Goldfield and spent v.st
sums in the development of that dis
trict, being one of the relatively few
lease operators there who paid divi-
dends.
Dix w. Smith of New York, who has
recently financed a bond deal for Sen
ator p. L. Flanigan's Pyramid Land
and Livestock company, is a thorough
believer in good Nevada lands, and be-
lieves that much money can be turnel
toward this state. if assured of ade-
quate returns. Mr.. Pinctney, whom
Mr.. Smith induced to come to Reno,
was for many years general traffic
manager of the Chicago Great West
ern railway, with his home and head
quarters in Chicago. The influx of
of this stamp will do much tow
ard bringing about the real develop
ment of Nevada.

GOV. ADAMS PRAISES
GOV. DICKERSON

Former Governor Adams, rs years of
age. but still active in his large bust.
ness affairs, was in Goldfeld Monday
In speaking OF the forthcoming cam.
paign, Governor Adams prophesifed a
victory for the Democrats. He said
it was unfortunate that many of the
people of Nevada did not understand
the true character of Governor Dicker-
SON., whom he had learned to know in
timately as a nan of strong character
and lofty ideals. Governor Dickerson,
he said was a man of convictions, and
If ever he made a mistake it was an
honest one. He considers that in near
ly all respects, Governor Dickerson has
made an excellent chief executive and
that his administration has been with
out faint or scandal.
Praise from a man of such high char
acter and business standing, who looks
upon the administration of Governor
Dickerson from a disinterested stand
point, is of much weight and should
have an effect.
