the first thing we did in the mining
camp was TO build a meeting house be-
After we did that we Wanted a school
and we couldn't get school taxes we
wanted to have school. and we called

and they all voted to pay a dollar each

there wasn't quite enough and we called
another vote and voted that every man

About Sutherland.
Now ] am afraid ] am taking up too
much time, I'll wind up very quick.
But / would like to ask n Senator, George
Sutherland is I'm the room? The only
reason ] do this is that when he made
his first political speech over IN Hureka
he invited me 10 go and hear him speak
And ! said George. II YOU Will talk on
the silver question ] VIII go down amo

any silver back there. And George was
lecturing in favor Of silver four years
before. and now he is pledged 10 gold
