Loses $4,000 a Year.

Bertha Krupp. the richest woman
in German. has one strange hobby
which shows her annually q net loss
Of 100000. She run a hotel In the
little town OF Essen. headquarters OF
the famous Krupp Steel Works, and
though the patronage is small and the
rates are moderate. she insists on Its
being conducted In q fashion that
maket 1t the equal of the best hotels
In the country But back OF the bob
by is an element Of sound business
sense that In the long run probably
makes tfE little hotel a big success.
The sole reason for It's existence Is to
cater to the representatives OF the
German and foreign governments who
have to remain In Essen when the
munitions Of war for their respective
countries are being manufactured.
Year in. year out, the little Essen hotel
shelters under Its roof the most cos
mopolftan and interesting company for
Its size. that could be found any.
where In the world Officers from
Centrf and South American repuh-
lies, from Russia. Japan and Spain
foregather there, and though the rates
charged are little more than nominal
the patrons are entertained on q scale
that Is regardless of expense and
makes them look back on Essen as
an ideal resting place from their more
active Iabors. Miss Krupp, as a hotel
manager may be prodigai and fall
ure. but she knows how to make
friends for me Krupp WORKS.

Virginia has rejected the proposed
sixteenth amendment. not because
Virginia is opposed to an income
tax. for she levies one. nor primarily
because she is opposed to the Fed
eral government levying such a tax.
but because the wording of the pro-
posed amendment Is atrocious, and
couched in such language as to make
it a subtle attack on the rights of
the States. Were It not that In the
proposed amendment appear the
words from whatever source de-
rived 1t Is quite possible that the
verdict OF Virginia would have been
different.
AS a matter Of fact. the republi-
cans who drew up the proposed
amendment worded 1t In such way
as TO practically insure its defeat, for
1t is doubtful II they felt 1t would
ever stand the scrutiny of vigilant
men. In this purpose they will doubt
lees succeed. 1t is unfortunate that
the income tax proposition could not
have been presented to the several
States on its own merits. unencum-
bered by treacherous language. AS
1t Is, its merits have had little to
do with its rejection by Virginia.

The Pike to Petersburg.

Those citizens who putting up their money
to complete and improve the turnpike between
Manchester and Petersburg deserve the highest
commentator for their enterprise and public spirit.
The late Major Lewis Cinter did much for this
city and section but none of his benefactons with
the possible exception of the Jefferson hotel of
such benefit the roads he built. Every mile of
good road built out of Richmond is permanent
benefit to the country through which it passes and
to the city. 1t is especially desirable that there
should be a well made turnpike between Richmond
and Petersburg. 1t will improve farm values. 1t
will help the two cities TO spread out" and it will
build up trade. But the cost should not fall upon
few enterprisng men, 1t ought to be an easy
matter find five hundred men who will contribute
an average of ten dollars each to the work.

YERINGToN WILL PROBATED
AT CARSON CITY


The will of the late Henry Marvin
Yerington, one of the Nevada pioneers
and for many years the associate of
D. o. Mills, was probated at Carson
City Thursday without protest, and a
division of the estate, valued at ap-
100000, will be made to
the heirs as soon as an appraisement is
made.
The will was drawn three years ago,
and, besides giving the home estate in
Carson City to the widow and $4,000
life insurance to the daughter, be-
queaths the balance in equal parts to
the widow, daughter and three sons.
One son, who had received financial as
sistance during the testators life, was
left $4,000. The estate owns a one
third interest in the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad company, the water
system supplying Carson City and
bonds and bank stock in San Fran

COLON|STS ARRIVE
FROM Los ANGELES

Yesterday evening M. Marich, the
land agent, arrived from Los Angeles
with party of eight colonists. This
morning Mr.. Marich left with three
of the prospective settlers for Grass
Valley where they will look over the
country with a view to selecting
claims.
Tonight County Surveyor Sheldon
will leave for Mil City with the re-
naming five landseekers, and tomor-
row morning will drive over to the
vicinity of the Organ ranch, where it
is expected each member of the party
will select claim.
In conversation with a representa-
tive of the Silver State this morning
regarding government lands, Mr..
Marich had the following 70 say:
1.-THE public domain is fast dimin-
ishing and each year land agents find
it more difficult to secure suitable
claims for settlers. About all that
now remains on the coast are the semi
arid lands of Nevada, and these are
going fast. In Humboldt county there
are at present perhaps 1000, or 5000
acres of land suitable for agricultural
but in a few months at most
all of this will have been taken up.
"The land upon which we are locat-
ing colonists at present is situated at
Grass Valley and south of Mill City.
1t is admirably adapted to agricultural
purposes, as an abundance of water
for irrigation may be obtained at a
depth Of 16 feet. On the claims locat-
ed wells will be at once sunk and the
water lifted to the surface by means
of windmills and gasoline engines -
