picked up ON the streets of 'ate,
many having been lost by persons
who suddenly lost their equilibrium
when their pedal extremities sud
denly decided to part company ON
striking choice icy spots on the
pavement or in the street. Usually
the articles found are of little value.
consisting principally of leadpen-
ell, pocket comb, tooth bush,
hairpins and all that sort of stuff,
but this morning the Bonanza devil |
on his way to work shortly after
o'clock (having oversight, as he us
ually does) picked up the following |
manuscript which is in the form of |
a letter 1t is apparently the work |
of one of Nye county's newly elect |
ed legislators and the owner can
have the same ii he will call at this
Office In parts the documents APP
pears to be soliloquy and is evil
IDENTIFY a transcription of the var
ious thoughts of the representative
of the people, transcribed for some
unknown reason. For the edifica-
ton of the general public and with
the hope that the real owner will
be discovered, the effervescence of
an overworked brain will be print
ed in it's entirety. Here it goes:

practically the entire population of
Nye county, concerning my future.

other measure at the approaching
session of the legislature. 1t Is a
great thing to be a politician and
listen to the congomeration of ideas
that are to be found floating around
in such small town. Some of the
IDEAS have merit, while others re-
semble few of my original concoc-
tons; that is to say that they also
have merit but the public would
prefer to do all the thinking for
me. In nine cases out of ten the
person with the corner on the idea
market who always gets me in a
corner at every opportunity and en-
deavors to explain why ! should
work for the repeating of the bull
lion tax law, is some sucker who
worked against me at the late cleo
ton, and he thinks that l am not
wise.
''Of course the cry for the relief
of the downtrodden workingman is
heard frequently, while at the same
time the representative of capital
is in evidence with carefully pre-
pared instructions and book OF
advice for young politicians.
1t was only yesterday that one
of our most prominent politicians

how | could carve out a great nam,
for myself If l would just Go as h,
suggested He had had experiene,
and he realized that as this wa
my first venture in politics. he coult
afford to tell me a few things ant
also present me with few chunks
of knowledge that he had to spare
Just as he concluded throwing tn,
