Word was received here last week
of the death of Ivey Saunders. son
of Samuel V. Saunders of near
Hunnewell. A letter received later
by the father gave the particulars
of his death Mr.. Saunders lived
with his family at Mercedes, Calf,
but at the time of his death was at
Burkely in that state and was q
passenger on street car. In an
effort to change his position to an
observation seat, which it seems
was on sthe side of the car, lost his
balance and fell from the car alight
ing upon his head. Death resulted
in a few minutes. Mr.. Saunders
leaves a wife and two sons. He wa:
born and reared in Monroe county
a thorough gentleman and besides
a large number of relatives, leave
many boyllood friends to mourn
his tragic death.

Booker Washington's Good Advice.
In a speech at Little Rock last
week, before the National Negro
Business League, Booker Washing
ton urged upon young men of the
race the importance of fitting them
selves thoroughly in the funda-
mental skilled trades. Too many
of them, he says, are content with
odd jobs and hand-ro-mouth call
ings. They become walters, Pull
man car porters, tip.takers in some
easy position that carries little with
it that is permanent and depend
able in the way of making provis-
ion for the future. The whole
South, he says, is full of opportuni-
ties for skilled workman at high
wages. In Alabama, for example,
there are colored men who are
earning from So to SIS a day as
bricklayers. In the Birmingham
district of Alabama there are color
ed men who are earning from SIS to
$40 a day as skilled laborers in the
various iron and steel manufactur.
ing enterprises of that State. What
is true of Alabama, he says, is true
of other states, and he adds:
Without the least fear of exag.
geration, would state that employ
ment can be found for 100 addition
al negro architects, 300 negro con
tractors, 100 more electrical engin
GERS, 5000 more bricklayers, 5000
more carpenters, 500 more plumbers
500 stationary engineers, and 5,00(
more skilled workers in the iroI
furnaces. This is to say nothing o.
at least $4,000 places awaiting
skilled farmers, dairymen. stool
raisers, and fruit growers. Atten
ton before it is too late to GU

Monroe City. having pulled off

Missouri and closed the greatest
Chautauqua in its history, should

afford to sit still and see roads
built to other towns which is liable
to take trade away from them. We

Remember

That the nights are getting longer
and longer each day now. Are you
going through this winter without
that
ACetylene Light Plant?
And remember to get the World
Beaten, with the generator out in
the yard and in the ground, for the
following reasons:
1t is safe from all danger of ex-
plosions.
We never take the water out
just the residuum.
We use a ohe-hundred pound
generator, therefore don't have to
re-charge only from three to six
months.
The price will compare favorably
with a thirty-five light or other
makes, and will only have to be
re-charged one-third as often.
Drop us a card for other informa-
ton, or we will cheerfully come
and make you an estimate of the
cost of lighting your home.

WEST GAINS REPRESENTATION
Increase of Eleven VIII Result
Fr m Congressional
Reapportionment.

All the states of the Pacific Coast
and Rocky Mountain region will secure
an increased representation in Con-
gress, as a result of the recent census,
except Wyoming and Nevada. Even
Idaho will gain one member of Con-
gress if the basis of representation is
fixed at the figure now favored by the
House committee, 100000.
Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Montana and
Colorado will each gain one member;
Washington will gain two and Califor-
MIA three, while the new state of
Arizona will have one member, and her
sister state, New Mexico, two. This
will give the far west total represen-
tation of "a in the next house of repre-
sentatives, provided the two new states
become parts of the union in time. At
present these states have only q votes
in the house of representatives.
The numerical strength in the far
west in the house of representatives is
shown in the following table, it being
assumed that 2l0, 900 will be the bass
of representation adopted.
The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1911-01-19

Table two, herewith, is interesting
and instructive land. by the way, table
two is quoted verbatim from the re-
port of the Army Board, while table
one is compilation of statistics con-
tanned in that report).
The second table not only shows how
the regular irrigation fund has been
used, to date, but shows by projects,
how the $40, 600, 900 special fund, and
the $25, 000, 900 reclamation fund Q911-
l914) has been distributed.
1t is seen that the total apportion-
ment of Government irrigation money,
up to the time the Army Board re-
ported, accounts for an aggregate ex-
penditure of $61, ,885, 900. Out of this
total, SO, $50, 900 has gone to Oregon,
assuming, as has been done by the
Government, that the Klamath ex-
nenditures to date have been chargeable
to Oregon. In other words, Oregon,
The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1911-01-19

while contributing more than ID per
cent of the S61, ,OOO,0 900, has received
less than six per cent.
Not the least interesting or least i'm
portant feature of table two is the last
column, which shows the amounts that
must be allotted hereafter to complete
projects to which the Government is
committed by the apportionment made
by the President on Christmas day. This
column, studied by itself, demonstrates
that the $40, ,000 900 ''loan" secured at
the last session of Congress, will not be-
gin to complete projects that have now
been adopted, even when the S25, ,000,-
900 increment to the reclamation fund
is added. On the contrary, when the
full S45, 900, 900 is expended, the Gov
ernment will still be committed to
projects calling for s4S, 312,S5S addi-
tional, and if official estimates be
approximately correct, this will repre-

sent the total increment to the recla-
nation fund for over six years be-
ginning with 1915.
II so happens, however, that under
the terms of the $40, 900, 900 loan bill,
one. half of the reclamation fund, be-
ginning five years from the date of the
first advance from the Treasury, must
be set aside for the repayment of this
loan, with interest at three per cent.
This means that there will be available
for irrigation, after five years, only
one-half the amount estimated to accrue
to the fund each year until the loan is
repaid, and in turn that means that 1t
will take practically l3 years, from 1915,
to complete the projects to which the
Government is committed by the
apportionment approved by the Presi-
cent. For once these projects are be-
gun, they must be carried through to
completion, and when they are well
