BIG MILL READY
GOOdSpringS Will Experience
Great Activity Soon

Goodsprings and the Yellow Pine
mining district are about to come into
their own. After months of patient
waiting and the expenditure of much
money, ]. F. Kent, on Saturday last,
had the satisfaction of starting up the
big mill and testing the machinery in
all parts. The sight of smoke pouring
from both stacks of the plant brought
to the people the knowledge that their
district was about to enter upon an era
of great prosperity, and the whistle
gave many loud screeches of triumph.
So soon as the narrow guage road,
the rails for which are now on the
ground, is completed to the mine, the
Yellow Pine mining company will be-
gin to operate the mill at its capacity
of 100 tons per day. Two hundred
cords of wood are ready to begin oper-
ations, but the boilers will be changed
to oil burners as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made.
The completion of this mill and rail-
road will be long step toward max
ing this one of the greatest zinc GEN.
ters in the country.
Those who so steadfast!y foughttheir
way through the years of discourage
ment to the present success are de-
serving of the highest praise.

THE REASON WHY
Clark County Refuses to Be
the Goat

This question of Indebtedness be-
tween Lincoln and Clark counties is
simple one. To state the question
clearly and concisely. the Lincoln
county officers between Jan. l, 1909
and July 1, 1909 spent approximately
500, 600 of county funds being more
for this six months than for any pre-
vious year of this excessive expenditure
no portion came to the Clark county
portion for permanent Improvements.
The reason why the expenditure was
so great was because county division was
accomplished, the law being approved
Feb. 6, 1909 to go into effect July
l, 1909, and it was apparently in
tended by the Lincoln county officers
that there should not be one dollar left
in the treasury to divide with Clark
county, although the tax payers of the
Clark county portion had paid into the
Lincoln county treasury SO per cent. of
the $1OO, 1000 spent by the Lincoln
county officers. Not only was the
treasury drained dry, but deficit of
several thousand dollars created. Then
in a further excess of selfshness
they went through the formalities of
letting a contract for a vault, calling
a special meeting of the commissioners
June 18th in order to make an apparent
claim on Clark county for a building
not constructed nor paid for until sew
eral months after county division.
There has been a sentiment among
the Clark county people, that we should
be generous with the mother county on
account of her misfortunes and pay
whatever she claimed within reason.
The situation has now changed. 1t is
remembered that Las Vegas, since her
foundation was treated by the Phoebe
end of the county in very shabby
manner both politically and otherwise.
In fact we have never had the pleasure
of seeing friendly word for Las We
gas anu her people ard enterprises,
printed in any Phoebe paper. On the
contrary there has been there always
the overbearing spirit which finally
drove the southern portion to form
Clark county. The fact that Lincoln
county deliberately emptied the treas
ury by excessive expenditures rather
than leave a few dollars to divide with
the new county did not improve the
sentiments and the final underhanded
effort to "soak" Clark county again,
good and plenty, has settled it with US.
Clark county does not and never did
legally owe Lincoln county one dollar.
Whatever payment it was intended
to make to Lincoln county was
entirely through a feeling of moral OBJ
legation coupled with generosity, on
account of the misfortunes of the old
county. We believe that the unfair
ness of the Lincoln county bunch has
wiped out all obligation on the part of
Clark county to be generous and that
we are now justified and bound, if we

Candy Kids Again Say Nay

The shop boys put considerable gin

of the strenuous efforts of the west

on Her Advantages

The following address by James G.
Givens, president of the Las Vegas
Chamber of Commerce, was the fea-
ture of Nevada Day. at the Land
and Products Exposition in Los Ange-
les last week. 1t points a bright fu-
ture for this section based on the solid
facts of what we have already accom-
plished.
Ladies and Gentlemen

Desert, State of Sage Brush and Mes
quite, State of Mineral Wealth almost
inexhaustible, one of the largest states
of the Union with single counties as
large as some of the eastern states.
To many this great State is mining
state only, but am here today to rep
resent her agricultural interests.
1t may seem travesty on the sub
ject to mention agriculture in connec-
tion with Nevada, but so great are the
agricultural possibilities of Nevada to-
day, that the wealth that has been
taken from her mines is not the peer
by many fold of the wealth that she
holds in her agricultural sections. One
section covering many hundreds of
thousands of acres of fine soil, with a
superb climate, semi-tropic, where
water for irrigation is easily obtained
in quantity, where we produce the
fruits, vegetables, grains, fibres and
grasses such as we have for exhibition
in the Land and Products show certain
ly fixes our right to be classed as agri-
cultural, and we have all of these con-
ditions in Clark County, State of Ne

water, clear as crystal percolates
through limestone; where they raise
the finest horses, the most beautiful
women, and manufacture an article
from corn of such quality that once
heard man say, ''made intemperance
a virtue" But left that state and
came to Nevada because l believe we
can do all in Clark County, Nevada
that we can do in Kentucky; and be-
cause in Nevada we can raise ten to
fifteen tons of alfalfa to the acre. 1t

what is going to make one of the great

THE RED FRONT
Big Store Of San Bernardino
Enters Vegas Field

Sam r. Rawicz manager of the Red
Front Store of San Bernardino, is in
this city making final preparations for
their opening, which will occur April
10th to 18th.
Mr.. Rawicz announces that the same
high-grade lines of goods will be fea-
tured and the same low prices asked in
this store that have built the largest
clothing and shoe business of San Ber-
nardino county, California, during the
past 20 years of most successful mer-
chandising and immense growth. The
store will handle nothing but the best
of famous makes and at most pleasing
prices.
Such WE'LL known brands as "Kauf-
mans Preshrunk clothing for men and
young men; Wolcott's" indestructible
boys suits; Stetson and Kingbury hats;
Ferguson, Mckinney and Cluett-Pea-
body's shirts and collars; and the lead
ing makes of furnishing goods will be
carried.
The stock will include complete line
of mems and young mems shoes and
boots-Regals, Peters and Napa tans.
In ladies shoes they will carry the Red
Cross, Utz & Dunn, Peters and Julia
Marlowe high and low shoes in all the
pleasing styles, as well as the solid
leather shoes for girls and boys in Wal
ton, Grotton and Victor makes.
There will be large and varied assort-
ments in these famous makes, snappy
and according to fashion, sold by the
methods that prevail in their San Ber-
nardino store, and the small prices
which prevail there and which have
built up the greatest shopping center
in Southern California, will be the sell
ling prices here. The name of under
sellers is applied to them throughout
San Bernardino county and they have
justly won same by opposing high
| prices a..
/ Buying as they do in big quantities
direct from the greatest eastern manu-
featuring market, and buying for cash
and selling likewise, saving of from
10 to 20 percent is assured the people
of Las Vegas and vicinity. The Red
Front store has come to stay and We
gas extends it hearty greeting as one
of the new factors in building up q
greater Las Vegas.

A NOTABLE MEETING.

Springfield Republican,: 1t was a
notable mass meeting that Honolulu
witnessed on July 8. The American
and British residents Joined in a pub
lie demonstration in support of a gen.
eral arbitration treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, and
the moral effect upon the diverse ma
tionalities at that crossroads of the
Pacific must have been important.
Governor Frear and the British con-
sui were conspicuous among those in
attendance, while much attention was
attracted by the presence of the Off
GERS and crew of the British cruiser
Challenger. The speeches both by
American citizens and British sub
jects were eloquently keyed to the
spirit of the resolutions unanimously
adopted as follows:
Resolved, That this meeting of
American and British residents of
Honolulu cordially welcomes the pro.
posal that the United States of
America shall enter into a general
treaty of unlimited arbitration with
the British empire, and it urges on
the Senate of the United States the
approval and ratification of this most
desirable and important measure, be
lieving that such a treaty would ma
terially promote the peace of the
world and further the best interests
OF these two great nations.
