course at the First Baptist church, Is
a timely one: "The Skeleton King"
The meeting house is on Fayette street

though only 1905 was needed, the
difference comes in handy as it will
be used to buy clothing and a few
other necessities for them. Miss

credit for her part IN the cause as it
was chiefly through her efforts that
the amount was raised, although
some of the contributions came in
unsolicited.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tretten are very
grateful to all who aided them. They
needed $500 In order to get into the
home. They had an insurance policy
for $195. which was accepted as part
payment and from another source
500 was secured, leaving a balance
of 1905 to be raised. Miss Wider

GOLDFIELD PRODUCES NEARLY
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS

Goldfield's total production will
have reached approximately $48,-
600, 900, the production up to the
beginning of the year being about
$50. 900, 900, while a conservative
estimate of the output for 1910

the marvellous riches of the camp,
which seven years ago was naught

ONE OF NEVADES NEEDS

One of the things The incoming
legislature should do is to provide
a suitable place for the confinement
of youthful criminals. Every state,
except Nevada, has reformatory
for incorrigible boys and girls and
such an institution is badly needed
here. Our jails and penitentairy
are not fit places for the
confinement of young criminals.
There they are brought in direct
association with Observation-Disclosures
and the chances of their reform
are greatly ]essened.
Many boy and girl who start
off wrong could be shown the
error of their ways and started on
an upward career that would make
useful citizens, if sent to a reform
school instead of to our jails and
penitenrary.
Nevada is growing rapidly in
wealth and population and the
maintenance of such an institution
would not be heavy drain upon
her citizens. Even if it. were a
burden, the people would be richly
compensated by the good that
would be accomplished We COM
mend such an institution to the
careful cons ineration of the next
