THEY ALL ADMIRE PLUCK

1t cannot be gainsaid that when San
Diego, first of all perhaps to make
such claims, started to talk about hold
ing an exposition to celebrate the open
ing of the Panama canal, little faith
was entertained by those who heard of
it that San Diego could or would un-
dertake seriously such big PROPOSE
tion A city with a population, then,
of some $4,000 people, it was held that
the holding of an exposition was far
beyond the ability of that community.
But San Diego was ambitious and she
was growing, and she was to be the
first port of call under the stars and
stripes after leaving the Pacific end
of the canal. So the people of San
Diego went to work with will, raised
81 100000 by popular subscription for
starter and voted bonds for another
million to finance the fair, and then
people began to take serious notice.
Then the state of California voted half
million more to help the thing along,
and now there are enough promises of
exhibits and subscriptions to make it
certain that the exposition will entail
an expenditure Of fully $10,000,000,
and there is more to come. The fact
is that people love to see an exhibition
of clear grit, and San Diego is putting
up as fine an exhibition as was ever
seen. TIL city has population now of
$4,000 people and practically every
one of them is booster and an up
builder. Under such circumstances
there can be no such word as "fail. -

BOSTROM MAY SUE
SEVEN TROUGHS COMPAN>

Claiming that his reputation ard
good name have been injured and that
he has been made to suffer great in
dignity and embarrassment, Ralph Ros-
from, the well known Lovelocker, who
for some time has been resident Of
Seven Troughs district, threatens the
Seven Troughs Coalition Mining com
pany of that place with damage suit,
for causing him to be arrested and
searched for stolen high grade ore ON
a warrant sworn to by Genral Man
ager Friedman of the Coalition CON-
pany, says the Lovelock Tribune.
The detention of Bostrom and the
search of his suit case and clothing
for high grade ore occurred about two
weeks ago, and was Immediately upon
his arrival in town from the district.
The search was made by Constable
p. H. Wolf, who was unable to find
any high grade.
The search warrant, sworn to by Mr..
Friedman, stated that on his informa-
tipn and belief high grade ore was
contained in the suitcase and bed be-
longing to Mr.. Bostrom
Approached yesterday afternoon and
asked for statement in regard to the
matter, an official of the company
stated that the affair had been en-
tirely in the hands of General Manag-
er Friedman, and he ridiculed the idea
of damage suit, stating that the Co.
alition company was in possession of
certain information which connected
Mr.. Bostrom with having been in the
possession of high-grade. Otherwise
the officials were reticent in the mat
ter and had no statement for publica-
tion

EXTRA SESSION
WORRIED FARMERS
Especial to the Silver State.)

WAonANulONs sept. S.-One OF
the new progressive congressman, Hon.
Ira c. Copley, of the 11th Illinois dis
trict, successful, shrewd business
man, says in recent interview that
whether or not the farmer would be
hurt by reciprocity with Canada would
make little difference; that if he only
thought he was hurt and thereby re-
duced his expenditures temporarily,
the jobbers and manufacturers in the
remotest parts Of the United States
would feel the effects and Wall street
would respond to the resulting strin-
gency in trade.
The recent extra session of congress
did much to worry the faremrs. Besides
passing the reciprocity treaty bill, it
tried to add to the free list the item
of lemons, and failing, announcement
was made by Democratic leaders that
at the next session the effort would be
renewed and that a general assault
would be made all along the line of
the agricultural scheme.
Probably the county at large does
not care much about the lemon grow
ers, although their groves and plants
are said to repesent an investment of
some $175, 100000. Still less does the
county at large care about the addi-
tional duty of one-half cent per pound
on lemons which the Payne -Aldrich
bill gave. and which, in 1910, amount
ed to something less than one cent
each for every man, woman and child
in the United States. Who, then,
should care, that determined effort
should be made to have the duty re-
movedf Who, indeed, but the import
ers of lemons, and the foreign grow
ers Of themf And is it for the foreign
interests that congress is legislatingf
Other nations do not legislate in that
way. When we demanded of Germany
certain concessions in the potash tax,
we received cold comfort from the
German government.
The lemon growers showed very con-
clusively that their competition with
the imported fruit had kept prices
down, and that the tariff, while it
contributed substantially to the treas
ury, was a burden ON the foreigner
only, if indeed on him. But that did
not affect the men who had italian
nothing for lemon growers whose
votes could not help or hinder their
political fortunes. STILL if the lemon
growers, the orange growers, the rails
in, olive, fig, walnut and grape grow
ers and all the other specialists VINO
have to make considerable investments
and wait years for returns, become
alarmed at the threat of reduction of
the tariff on their products, will not
the cotton mills of the south and of
Fall River, the shoe factories Of Mas
sachusets, the automobile makers, the
woolen men, the jewellery manufactur-
ers, the thousand and one crafts in all
parts of the country, feel the tighten
ing of the purse strings and find their
balances smaller at their bankers, and
be constrained to lay off hands to be
on the safe side of the marketf
Perhaps the tariff revisers would do
well to study the possible results be-
fore they undertake to make changes
that will frighten the farming classes,
which, as Congressman Copley says,
"possess so per cent of the purchasing
power Of the country"

RIG DAMAGE SUIT
SETTLED OUT OF COURT

The personal injury suit OF Martha
T. Genzel. administrative, against the
Southern Pacific company, involving
q claim of 100000 damages for the
death of Charles Genzel, was settled
Yesterday ont Of court by the pay
rent Of 81 600 in cash to the admin
istratrix, who is the widow of the de-
ceased.
Agents of the railroad who effect
Ell the compromise, stated that the
circumstances were such as to make IT
extremely doubtful that any judg-
ment would be secured at all. 1t was
claimed that Genzel was killed
through the carelessness Of locomo-
tive fireman in starting the engine
without warning. but the company in
sist that the fault was Genzel's in 60
ing under a car before the train was
fully stopped. The accident occurred
Just over the California line while
Genzel was employed in clearing away
the result of slide Of earth and rock
on the track.
The company agents declare that
the payment was made on the strict
understanding that all of the monev
was to 60 to the widow and that it
should not be cut down by charges of
the attorneys.-,Reno Journal.

river. It is planned to carry the ques-
tion to the highest court, if necessary,
in an effort to gain control for the
states of the water powers within
their boundaries.
L. K. Armstrong, secretary Of the

MOVING PICTUnE OPPOR-

According to George E. Anderson,
our consul general at Hongkong,
there is a considerable opportunity
waiting for American moving picture
films in that district and in Chinese
ports as we'll Hongkong has half
dozen large moving picture shows,
and there is also growing demand
for cinematograph outfits for private
entertainments. French films are
mostly in favor, though some OF the
films now shown are English, because
of the size of the British community
there. but the business, as a whole, Is
in the hands of the Portuguese, who
also carry on other popular amusement
resorts, as roller skating rinks and the
like. There is no indication that
American films would not be used ex-
tensively if they were offered for sale,

NOVEL EXHIBIT FOR
FOUR-STATE FAIR

Aviator Charles F. Walsh, who has
been engaged to give daily exhibitions
of aerial navigation, at the Intermoun-
tain Four State Fair and International
Sheep show, in Ogdn, September %
to 30, is one Of the few bird men Of
the world who have successfully car
ried passengers on their skyward
flights. When flying alone, this dar-
ing aviator does not hesitate to
show off, some of the startling and
dangerous dips, curves and fancy
turns. He never diappoints his audit
ors who are looking for thrills. His
long experience has given him COM
plete control over his big machine, and
what appears to be foolhardy air
tricks are nothing more than real sport
to Walsh. He is postmaster of the
flying business
each day during the -Four State fair;
the main program being Sunday, Sep
tember "a. Walsh IS fellow passengers
for his flights ON Sunday will be
Mayor Glasmann and some well known
lady of Ogden, whose name will be
announced later. A flight with
Walsh is only secured by invitation
from the aviator himself-no price
being sufficient to purchase such an
experience. Ogden society is agog
with speculation as to who Walsh will
select for his lady passenger. Several
have already expressed their willing
ness to respond if. they should be so
favored.
For his Ogden engagement, Walsh
will use a Curtis Farman bipiane, one
of the largest patterns of aircraft, the
same machine in which he carried Miss
Aida Perrine of Orpheum theatre in
Portland, Oregon, in recent flight
made in that city. Aviator Walsh
believes this machine is best suited to
this altitude, and hopes to be able
to establish some new records.
Unlike many other bird men, Walsh
is willing that the public should learn
all they can about this flying business.
While at the Four State fair, he will
show the keenst pleasure in explain
ing the workings of the big biplane to
those who may be interested. Very
few people know how these big
frames of steel, wings of canvas and
heavy engines are raised from the
ground and made to fly through space.
Walsh will make this plain to those
who want to know.
Manager Rowe is to be congratulat-
ed upon securing this great attraction
for the Big Four State fair, which
promises to eclipse all previous fairs
in the state. With special railroad
rates from all points, every day from
September 22 to 80, will see the fair
ground crowded with interested spec
tators and proud exhibitors.
