Although they are candidates on the
democratic ticket they can stretch
their political principles to meet any
emergency, and when it comes to
doing the rapid change act they are
artists of no poor ability. I would

a republican and n democrat at the

and at the same time declare himself
in favor of the whiskey business:
say no, then | would like to ask
these gentlemen who have accepted
the nomination on the democratic
ticket what grounds you have for
going among the voters of kanawha
county and saying you are Socialists,
as some of the candidates for office
on the democratic ticket are doing!
II you ar" a Socialist you are not a
democrat. and if you are not demo

democratic ticket. If you can't stand
on the platform and principles of
Your own party. why get out of it,

The New and the Old

Having II little time to spare this fore
noon we visited the new school house
and went through the different rooms.
Several carpenters were at work hang
ing doors opening into the building
from the outside and into the school
rooms from the hall ways. These doors
are of oak and weigh in the neighbor-
hood Of 200 pounds each Tho doors
leading into the school rooms have
glass panels 70 that n a see from
the outside what Is going on in the
rooms.
Everything about the building is Of
the latest design and strictly mp to date
There are stationary wash stands and
sanitary drinking fountains. In fact.
nothing is omitted that would add tn
the comfort or health Of the children.
After inspecting tho new building.
we wandered into the old sch'Jl house
and went through tho different rooms,
partly from curiosity aud part
Iy from force Of habit. In the pri'
mary room. we found Prof. Bonham
and ten boys hard ut work making car
penter's vices for use on their wO.r
benches. Tho boys were ne busy ~
bees and their looks indicated that they
enioyed their work. Some were saving
lumber, some were showing planes and
others were putting the viscs together.
Prof. Bonham was busy, too, planning
and laying of the work for tho boys.
Success to Prof. Bonham and his boy
workers.
Tho new building will not he ready
for the children until next Monday. All
the departments Of the school will then
opcn in the now quarters under the
most favorable conditions. II the
young people do not give a good nc

VIII Hold Coyote Roundup at Manhattan

According to the old timers in Nye
county, this has been the most severe
winter experienced here for IL years.
They do not recoIlcct when the snow
was any deeper, or when the weather
had continued as cold As it had up to a
month ago.
The camps of Belmont, Round Mount
ain and Manhattan have experienced q
much greater snowfall than Tonapah.
As a proof of this fact, the deep snow
has driven the coyotes down from the
hills and they have boldly entered the
hen houses of homes in the neighhoring
camps and carried off grea; numbers OF
chickens. In a number Of cases they
have bdttled fiercely with dogs in the
camps.

About 3 o'clock Monday morning Mr..
Thompson started for Jarbidge with two
four horse teams. and twelve passengers
The teams were pretty we'll loaded
with baggage and supplies. Everything
went along all right until they reached
the mountains north Of town. From
there on. the deep.snow made their
progress very slow and they did not
reach tG.milc station until after dark.
The snow was about six feet deep in
the road and whenever one of the horses
would get out Of the road he had to lie
shovelcd out. The road had to be
broken all the way and this was done
by uuhitching some of the horses and
leading them ahead of the loaded sleighs
for Il short distance and then back to

Something was said about politics,

wanted was food. and, after that. more

The result OF the publication of this

Commission Makes New Class Rate,

The Nevada Railroad Commission.
consisting of Professor Thurtell. ]. F.
Shaughnessy and H. F. Birtine, met i IN
Carson City on Saturday and ordered a
new interstate rate ON classes into effect
on the main line Of the Southern
Pacific. These rates will not 90 into
effect until about thirty DAYS have
elapsed. but when they do go into effect
they will mean big things to the small
dealers and shippers of this state. The
rates will be of especial benefit to the
dealers of Reno. as it will all allow
them to ship into points where they are
unable To compete for trade, says the
Reno Gazette.
The Nevada Railroad Commission
met with the officials of the Southern
Pacific ON several occasions prior to
Saturday and tried to have the officials
agree to the rates. but the officials
would agree to nothing. The Commits
ision waited until Saturday and then
ordered the rates into effect.
This change makes a reduction of
about % per ent on the first six classes
of class rates, but does not affect the
last four classes. which deal mostly
WI" the larger shipments. These were
'o""' he quite fair.
Inc S'e"t~t changes were made in
class rates Oh th.Srst six classes for the
greater Instances For instance, the
class rates on distances e more than
twenty miles.
The new rate sheet showing
new rates is quite extensive and SHOW
much work on the part of Professor
Thurtell and his associates. In 1907
the business moving under the rates
now reduced amounted to more than
S1O,O 600 and thih year it is much
greater.
