for the use of farmers, take in" anywhere from
three to half a dozen fairs held within a radius
of say twenty or thirty miles. or course. this
swells the gate receipts and It also results in
the exhibit classes being better filed.
On the other hand. the motor car has brought
to the county fairs a certain patronage from city
folk who almost never attended these rural exhibit
lions In the old days. Some Of the city folks are
those who have friends or relatives in the country.

Others are one-time rural residents who. having

they can como back via the when
they would not take the trouble II It meant getting
up early In the morning to catch an excursion

the city may not add to the gaiety Of the occa-
sion. particularly, for the country people at the
county fair, but their contributions at the ticket
wondow are we'll worth having and generally ap
preciated. for. be it known, the average county
fair Is conducted by farmers and other members
Of the community who can't wholly overlook the
financial side.
Yet another new influence that has helped the
county fair In our time is the suppression Of
betting and the abandonment Of racing at most

of one kind or another goes on at almost all our
country fairs and whereas It IL not supposed to
be accompanied by betting there are opportunities
for quiet wagers, whereas the mere racing in itself
Is sufficient to attract horse owners and others
who love the sport for itself. Just here. 1t may
be added, that most fairs throughout the United
States are now conducted on a clean, moral basis.
Liquor selling on the grounds or nearby has long
been prohibited in most localities and out-and-out
gambling devices have been barred from many
fair grounds these many years, but ~latterly. In
response to the moral awakening that has swept
over the country, fair managers are showing a
disposition to keep out most of those raffes and
games Of chance which. perhaps innocent
in themselves. might have a bad influence on the
youthful mind.

Of the outsider and no man can ever be convinced
that the world ever held . more important "agri-

That. ~ has been said. the old-fashioned county
fair hasn't been changed beyond recognition. even
60 this day. 10 all the more q matter Of surprise
when We take into account the revolutionary
changes that have taken place In other phases
OF rural life. The Introduction Of rural free de-
livery. for instance. has done away with the
necessity and the opportunity for those friendly
satherings at the crossroads store when the farm
err who drove over for the mail stole a little
leisure In which to swap stories. Similarly q

on the roads of those Tipping. screeching automo-
sbiies has knocked all the romance out OF those
buggy rides in the moonlight when old Dobbin
was allowed to And his own way and set his own
pace.
Not only has the county fair withstood the
ravages OF time and the onslaught of modern
invention. but In some respects II has benefited
by a lapse of time. That Is, many a fair OF the
present day liz vastly bigger and better than was
the corresponding event on the SAM grounds a
score or more of years ago. 1t Is not due solely
TO the natural increase OF population. either, nor
yet to that "back-to-the-soil crusade which has
swept over the land. The latter has helped. how
ever. because It has added to the population of
many IA rural district men and women who are
engaging in farming for pleasure as well as for
profit and who enter their products at the near

even though the prizes would not pay the express
charges on the animals.
The automobile. despised though It be In many
quarters, has had a big influence In bringing
greater prosperity to our latter-day county fairs.
The advent of the horseless vehicles and the fad
for touring, taken In conjunction with that I'm
provement OF country roads which has been 60
aug on this past decade or SO. has made It possible
for farmers to travel greater distances to the

SUPREME COURT PROGRESSIVE.

While the decisions of the United States SUI
preme court in the oil and tobacco trust cases
are anXiouSly awaited and various charges are
made by demagogues that the American judi
eiary seems to be inherently opposed to the
popular welfare, it is of interest to note that
recent decisions of the nation s highest tribunal
have been distinctly against monopoly in
character.
In the commodities clause" case the court
held that common carriers may not for the pur-
pose of circumventing that provision, employ
the ownership Of stock in a manner to merger
the administrative affairs of different CONNER
cal entities and do by indirecton what the law
expressly forbids. In other words railroads may
own stock in producing corporations but not
Intentionally bring about this commingling OF
interests to work hardship upon competitors
in the field of production. The carrying com
pany must be kept distinct and separate from
the producing company This decision gave life
to the clause after lawyers all over the country
had just about reached the conclusion that it
did not mean anything in practice.
Then another decision of recent date struck
at monopoly of manufacture of proprietary
medicines, denying the right of the manufacture
ers to control the actions of jObbers and dealers
and thereby hold prices at any figures desired.
The grant of patent does not confer this priv
ilege according to the opinion of the court
Decisions favorable to the government are
expected in the oil and tobacco cases, although
there is little solid basis for such speculation eX-
ccpt that the supreme court has shown decided
progressive tendency and evinced strong dis
inclination to strain language or emphasize legal
technicalities in the interest of monopoly. There
must BE a growth of confidence among the
masses of the country however, because the
highest tribunal has set itself against combina
tionS in restraint of trade and may be expected
| to continue in such an exercise OF its grea
power.

Nevada is IN better condition now to its
mining than 1t has ever been before, and l be-
lieve there will be many more good mines found
IN the state. The state needs going over very
carefully. The boomS are over and the people
who have claims for sale are disposed to con

anyone to touch them. They are getting their

it all around | believe legitimate mining has a
bright future in this state, as there are many eX-

quite likely that some Of them will make good.
There is one unfair condition which the miner
has to face. but which WILL of course, in the end
be corrected This is the system of unjust tax

we all know that other business enterprises in
the state and other property are deliberately
taxed at from Is to 40 per cent of their real
value while the mine its improvements and

is not the proper encouragement to be extended
to the states chief industry, and it has the eff
feet of multiplying the constitutional provisions

WHITE CAPS
At MANHATTAN
LOOKING GOOD

If the White Caps continue to
make good as it has been doing
since the work was concentrated
on the west side of the gulch, it
will be but a short time until it
will have passed out of the cate
CORY of prospects and be entitled
to full-grown honors. That it will
do so, there seems little question,
and Superintendent Pryor is direct
ing his energies in a way that in
dicates confidence in the future OF
the property.
Since the hoist was installed
across the ravine, sinking has
steadily progressed, and the depth
is now close to the fifty-foot mark
where the ore is about four and
one-half feet in thickness and ex
hibits decided tendency to in
crease in volume.
Assays have shown some remark
able values; one was taken a few
days ago, running to $944; another
a few days later was slightly ovel
$3.50, and Mr.. Pryor gives it as hi
opinion that the entire width O
over four feet will give returns o
about 500. These are remarkabl,
values and will permit of consid
cradle depreciation and still permi

While no tests of any conse

KINGDOMS ToTTERING.

Republics are finding favor in Europe A
few months ago it was Portugal that rose
against monarchy. Now Spain is reaching to-
ward the light and losing faith in the divine
right of Alfonso to rule In the province of
Malaga at least an embryo republic has been
set up. The uprising may be flash in the
pan but it is significant in showing the grow
ing discomfort in the poorer foreign countries
with kings that help to hold them in poverty
The trouble seems to be much economic
as political. The people objecting to royalty
not only because it is wicked, but also because
it is oppressively expensive The revolution in
Portugal followed the discovery that young
Manuel had lavished the money of the kingdom
on a gay and beautiful dancer in Paris. Now
Alfonso is reported to have INDUCED his desire
for extravagant pleasures in the frsky French
capital.
Evidently the people are not as willing as
they once were to go without bread in order
that their monarchs may revel in excuses and

BRIGHT MINING OUTLOOK FOR NEVADA

There appears to be an upward tendency in
mining affairs all the state. The LOska
group of six claims in the Humboldt range has
been taken by the Humboldt Mines com
pany, Chicago concern, with an authorized
capital of $1,500000 Capital from ouesde the
state is going into the mines of Austin and that
district is coming to the front once more
The same trend of affairs is manifest all
over the state, which goes to show that Nevada
is settling down to solid mining basis and
that capital is available i'll unlimited amounts
for good legitimate mining enterprises.
The great development along this line i'll
Fairyiew and Wonder in Churchill county
shows that that section is not behind the times.
The mills that are going up at both OF these
camps will employ large numbers of men for
years to come, because there are immense bodies
of ore to be worked, and the starting OF the
mills will give stimulus to others to develop
property in these districts. Everything consid-
cred the mining outlook for Nevada is exceed
ngly bright.
Manhattan with its arrival OF eastern
and London capital, and it's many new hosting
plants and remodelling of mills, and Lander
