majority report recommending a
state board of control, while Mr..
Merriam filed minority report. Out
of this majority report, filed by Mr..
Porter, has come our present state

Mr.. Porter was reelected to the
9th general assembly. At that time
Governor Shaw carried Appanoose
county by majority OF 423, but Mr..
Porter was elected by majority Of
81, showing his great strength in
strongly Republican community. He
was the youngest member of both
general assemblies.
In 1898 Mr.. Porter enlisted as a

THEscARRoLL-cowNIE I'M.
BRoGLlo.

Governor Carroll and Ex-Member of
the Board of Control Cownie, are en-
gagged In fierce controversy which
promises to become still fiercer as
the months go by.
In reference to this imbroglio there
are some things We know, some
things We do not know and some
things we believe.
We know that Mr.. Cownie helped
save the state of Iowa hundred of
thousands Of dollars, and in so>doing
incurred the enmity of the men who
had grated the state institutions for
vast sums before they were placed
under the management Of the Board
of Control.
We know that for at least a dozen
years Mr.. Cownie has enjoyed the
reputation of being a high class
brainy and incorruptible man.
We know that ever since Carroll has
been governor of the state he has
wanted to get rid of Cownie. When
the last legislature was in session he
appointed Judge Conner to. succeed
Mr.. Cownie, but the Senate refused
to confirm the appointment.
We do not know whether the
charges which Governor Carroll
makes against Mr.. Cownie are true or
false. We do not know whether Mr..
Cownie is telling the truth when
he says that the governors charges
are based upon falsehood, malice and
perjury.
We believe that were it not for
the struggle between the progressiyes
and standpatters, there would be no
such fight between Carol and Cownie
as the state is now witnessing. We
believe that If the Republican party
was not at war with itself, Mr.. Gown
lie would be either kept in office or
proceeded against for malefeasance in
office by some Of the methods point
ed out by law.
For all we know Mr.. Cownie may
have gone wrong, but he is entitled
to his day IN court before he can be
condemned. He is entitled to the pre-
sumption Of innocence until he is
proven guilty.
Three of the four leading daily pa
pers of Des Moines are supporting
Mr.. Cownie, and condemning the gov
ernor. If Governor Carroll knew that
Mr.. Cownie was a wholly unfit man
for the position he held, he should
have asked for a legislative commits
sion and have had him investigated
the same as Ballinger is being inves-
tlgated, or he should have laid the
charges he makes before some grand
jury, and in that way trial might
have been had, where all parties
would have been given hearing and
where falsehood and perjury would
have been driven from behind it's
cover. if there was any falsehood or
perjury in the case. Governor Car
roll may win at the primaries, but in
that event he will find that his fight
with Cownie will seriously handicap
him in his race for the governorship.

VIEWS OF PROMI-
NENT mining man

Malcolm l.. Macdonald, one of Neva-
da's prominent mining operators and a
former associate of Charles NJ Schwab
in the Tonopah Extension and other
properties, arrived in Winnemucca
from the southern part of the state
ON Southern Pacific No. 4 this morn
ing. When seen at the Lafayette this
afternoon by representative of the
Silver State and asked concerning his
mission, Mr.. Masdonald replied:
"There has recently been so great
an inquiry from eastern investors re-
garding mining properties in northern
Nevada, and particularly Humboldt
county, that l determined to run up
from Tonopah and look the field over
for myself. The active interest being
displayed is no doubt due in a great
measure to recent rich discovers at
National and Kimberly.
Tomorrow morning | shall leave
for Sulphur, via the Western Pacific,
to look over the oil and mining situa-
ton at that point, and shall probably
return TO Winncmucca Sunday The
first of the coming week / intend to
visit Barrett Springs and perhaps Ma
tional, after which / shall take run
over to Kimberly.
"sI am much pleased with the ap-
pearance of Winnemucca, noticing
many substantial improvements since
my last visit. some months ago. With
your wonderful mineral possibilities in
Humboldt county. the town should
double in size within a very few
years. y

NO TRACE OF THE
NATIONAL BANDITS

According to latest reports, no trace
has yet been found of the ban.
dts who attempted to hold up the Ma.
tional mine early Tuesday morning
From the manner in which the high
waymen operated, it is thought that
they were former employees of the com
pany.
For some time prior to last Tuesday
it had been the custom of the .grave-
yard shift working in tunnel No. 3
to descend to No. at 4 O'Clock in the
morning for their lunch It was this
hour the bandits selected to make their
raid, but the men had remained in tun.
mel No. 3 on this morning for their
lunch. In order to effect an entrance
to the mine the robbers broke down
two doors, standing 20 feet apart, at
the entrance to No. 3 tunnel The six
miners at work were ordered to line
up, with their faces to the wall, and
were left in charge Of one Of the in
truders, while tn eother two commenc-
ed search for high grade. At this
instant two or three miners were heard
approaching, when the bandits got
cold feet and hastily deeamped the
high grade, which had been sacked and
was awaiting transportation to the
company's mill, was either overlooked
or else the robbers would not burden
themselves with it in making their
escape. While the company officials
are said TO have good idea as to the
identity of the guilty parties, it is not
probable that they viii ever be ap-
pretended. Inquiry at the office of
Sheriff Lamb today elected the fact
that no official report of the affair had
been received.
This was the second attempt made to
hold mp the mine within the past three
months. On the former occasion the
bandits secured sack of high grade
valued at about $4,000 Since that
time an armed guard has been con
stantly on duty at a watchtower stu
ated at the mill and in sight of the
entrance to tunnel No. A, but the
mouth of tunnel No. 3 was far up the
Hill and out of sight from the watch

IN LOCAL
WOOL MARKET

Since election the local wool market
has fallen off cents, although the
price of sheep has remained firm. This
result at this time is probably not
so much due to the election of
a Democratic congress as to the
persistent rumors of probable
reduction in the wool schedule by the
present congress at its short ses-
sion. The latest reports from the east
are to the effect that the tariff com
mission intends making a partial re-
port early in the coming short session,
recommending that the duties on wool
be reduced.
At present but IA cents is being paid
for the very best grades of wool at
Winnemucca, ranging from that figure
down to IL cents. 1t is probable, how
ever, that fully IS per cent of the
last clip has been marketed at the
higher prices prevailing before cleo
tion, and indications are that the bal
ance remaining unsold will be held
over for better prices.
To the woolgrower the outlook is
anything but encouraging. Even should
the wool schedules escape reduction at
the hands of the present congress, that
they will be reduced by the new con-
gress which will meet year from now
is almost certainty. In the face of
such an impending disaster, maunfac-
turers will only purchase enough for
their pressing needs, with the newt
able result that the market will remain
dull until it has been readjusted to
meet the conditions imposed by the
new congress.

A sockful each is all there is, and
woe to him who takes for his a great

descends to tying pants around the

In such spirit was it said that all

which was designed for everyone TO

will belly buster to the CRATE, and do
his best, at any rate.
