GOV. MEAD ON LEGISLATURE
Not Above Criticism But Has Done
Some Excellent Work.

Rutland, Feb. 1.-For the present
the state as Gov. j. A. Mead has
returned from Montpelier and has es-
tablished headquarters in his private
Office at the Howe Scale Co. Il
haven't given any particular thought
to state affairs since my return the
governor said in reply to an inquiry
concerning his general opinion Of
what has been done at Montpelier
this winter.
MY general impression OF the
working of the legislature is that 1t
was especially praiseworthy as rad
ical information was attempted along
very important lines. For instance,
have realized fully that one great
need of our state is In creased care
for education tending to the improv-
ment Of our agriculture, and this has
received attention. A state in which
&C per cent OF the people are engaged
in agricultural life, we had not even
one state agricultural normal school.
We are to have that lack remedied.
The taking over Of the normal school
property at Randolph and the pur.
chase of additional real estate adjoin-
ing II, making an investment OF from
$4,000 to 100000, is certainly
great advance toward the develop
ment OF our agricultural interests.
This is simply the opening wedge.
There can be no doubt but that other
agricultural schools will be started in
l.tk... .,.fe 81 ha for fhnTa.
should be five or six more in order
that the best results may be obtain
ed
Governor Mead mentioned educa-
ton as another subject OF vital impor-
lance to which the legislature had CIV
en- more than usual attention, and he
appeared to be well pleased with
what has been accomplished In con-
nection with IL. IN what the legis-
lature has done in relation to educa-
tional advancement" he said. 1T has
done more than was accomplished by
any other legislature in this state for
at least 10 years. The teacher train
ing courses, which are at once to be
established in IL high schools situat'
| ed in the most accessible portions OF
the state, will afford excellent facil'
tiles for the fursishing Of teachers
TO the back or rural districts"
Governor Mead was pleased also
with the advance toward road i'm
provement made by the appropriation
of $4,000 annually for the next two
years for expenditure on fine high
ways. He said: I'm this there has
been taken the greatest step evel
made In this state. The beneficial
effect OF good roads could be expat
1 lated upln isdehnitely. They are
benefit to all OF the people in the
state and they are an attraction e
4 lated upon indefinitely They arr
A In the greater facilities they AFFORD {
4 our own people, and they pay In thu
business from outsidt which they at
4 tract to the state in various ways anC
4 especially in the matter of pleasure
! travel"
/, In concluding the interview, The
governor said he would not preten,
. to say that the legislature was ahoy,
f, criticism. IL would be n remarkable
body II II were. lie did not like th'
\ eleventh hour attempt to pass so i'm
. portant n measure Cs the bill relative
to taxation OF intangibles but he wal
willing TO permit his veto to stand a.

PUBLIC PLAYGROUND
Holden Estate Gives the use of the
Flatlron Lot.

The executors of the estate of the
late John s. Holden have presented
the public playground committee with
the fiat-iron lot, near the Soldiers
Home as a playground as long as it is
used for that purpose.
Miss Hilda Pratt had charge of the
grounds last summer and a large
number of children were there when
the weather permitted.
Although there was quite quaint
ty of paraphernalia there last sum.
mer, preparations are being made for
a larger and better outfit the coming
season and it is hoped that many
children will play there rather than
around the streets where there is al
ways danger from automobiles and
electric cars as well as other and
more insidious dangers.

Harris Mcclure, Comedian, at the Nevada Theatre

Tonight the Mimic Musical Com
edy company will give their last
performance this season at the Ne
vada theater. Last night their
presentation Of the gay Partisan
farce, THE Girl From Paris, met
with instantaneous success and
proved to be the most musical
gloom destroyer yet given by this
popular company.
1t seems to a constant attend
ant at the theater that each play
produced by the Minto company is
better than the preceding one
whether because the production is
better or because the company as
a whole and individually grows =
on one it is difficult to decide
Whatever the reason, it is true
that The Girl From Paris, was
a corking good show, full of GIN
ger briming over with laughs, in
Populated with many catchy songs
and bright music and was a Won
derfully satisfactory affair through
out.

INCREASED PAYROLL.

The payroll in Virginia City and
Storey county for the month of
September reached the highest
point attained for many years, ex-
ceeding the 100000 mark This
was due to the increased working
force in the mines and to the large
number of men engaged on the
Mexican mill site. The number of
people to be seen on the streets
shows in a measure the large army
of men now employed about the
city and county Chron-

STRIKE
At ELY HAS BEEN
DECLARED OFF

The best news which has come
to the district for many days came
down from Riepetown Saturday
night, says the White Pine News
The MIXERS have voted to declare
off the strike on the Veteran mine,
which has been in force for more
than two years. It means more
to the district, to every part of it,
than might seem at first glance.
It means that more men will have
work here; it means that there
will be an increased payroll of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 a
month; it means that the concen-
tratcr at McGill will run at full
blast through the winter months
A few days ago a strike invol-
wing maybe $4,000 men was declar-
ed on the Hartman lines. Outside
the country is in a worse condition
than it has been for many years;
possibly since the panic of 1898.
There are thousands Of idle men
throughout the land while here
Ely and its tributaries, is the
promise of more work and more
money than there has been in the
history of the district. With the
Veteran mine again open there is
no question of keeping up the
supply of ore sufficient to keep
the eight sections of the concen~
traitor in continuous operation. All
of this means much tcthe miners
much to the people on the hill,
much to the merchants and bust
ness men of Ely, much TO the peo-
pie of MeGill its merchants and
business men.
It is estimated that within a
month or two there will be be-
tween 800 and 400 men employed
at the Veteran. What this means
to the district, to Ely in particu-
lar, is not hard to guess. And in
that time there will be an increas-
ed force of men at work on tho
Giroux. While hardship is at
work in many, many cases beyond
our borders, a new prosperity
seems dawning for this district.
The district is to be congratulated
the miners are to be congratulate
ed upon their action last night;
the men who have stood by old
Robinson district through thick
and thin are to be congratulated
To Frank Brown, representing
the Western Federation of Miners,
is due the credit of bringing about
the settlement of the strike. He
was the right man in the right
place Not only is he to be con-
graduated upon the successful out
come of his mission, but to hi
due the thanks of the people of
the entire district for the work he
accomplished; the greatest we
which has been done for the dis
trict since the days of the boom
nearly five years ago His work
done here, Mr. Brown leaves for
new fields of endeavor tomorrow,
and may the best of good luck ac-
company him in his travels an J
may success crown his future el-
forts.

KEEP THEM AT SCHOOL.

Parents should be cautious
about giving their children per-
mission to stay out of school.
Every day out is a day lost to the
school work-they cannot make it
up. They will soon be behind and
want to stop school-find fault
with the teacher-say she is par
tial, ETC., when all the time the

the big bone and making sad medley Of
the lesser bones and toes. The doctor

CROWLEY GETS RELIGION.
And His Brother Senators Are Get
ting Uneasy.

Last Sundays Denver Post con-
tanned the following story about the
senator of Otero county. but the En-
terprise will not vouch for its truth:
I'm off for Rocky Ford. I've got
Crowley" said State Senator John
Cross, of Larimer county, addressing
President Keating and other members
of the land board.
"Why, what's the matter with Sem
ator Crowley" asked Mr.. Keating.
Religion; that's what's the matter
Jacks got it and got it bad. One
of my friends down there has Just
wired me word of it and that's why
I'm on my way there.
ITS like this" Senator Cross ex-
planned. AN evangelist struck Rocky
Ford and, to everybody's astonish-
mcnt, Jack was one of the first to
be stricken with consciousness of
his sins. He at once got up in meet
ing, saying, that he could get no
peace until he confessed all his mis-
deeds.
He had not gotten along very far,
in giving his experiences. before all
the ladies and few sensitive men got
up and went out. A while later even
tne more seasoned OF MS hearers felt
that it wouldn't do for them to hear
any more, SO they got up and left
He had just started in to relate
certain wickedness in which he had
part during the sessions of the senate.
so my friend informs me, when the
evangelist, who was the only one be-
sides Jack left in the meeting house,
suggested that they had better ad-
journ and that he resume his confess
sions at another meeting. To this
Jack agreed. Now, you can readily
see what it's up to me to do. I've
got to go down there and head him

BOLD BAD BURGLAR
flakes MONDAY Visit to office of
English Lumber Co.

A nervy burglar on Tuesday noon
gained access to the safe in the English
Lumber Cos office and during the As
minutes absence of Manager Jamison and
his assistants madea clean getaway
with about Sloo or, to be exact, Ses.lo
in cold hard cash.
From the appearance of things the
burglar was connoisseur in the business
and he must have been concealed in a
rear room when the office was locked for
dinner. as he was able to manipulate the
day lock upon the old-fashioned safe. and
the back door and yard gate through
which he made his departure were unlock
ed from the inside and the keys were still
hanging in the locks.
That he was nervy cuss is apparent
from the fact that the safe from which he
made his haul is in full view of every
passerby who chooses to glance in at the
Main street window.
No clue to the perpetrator has been
found. nor is there likely to be. as the
burglar passed up all checks and took
nothing but good clean cash.
