their time mentioned in the con-
tract has expired and as a result
they are leaving.
These men all have large checks
coming to them, As they have not
had to pay anything fG lcald
and room during the time they
were employed by the company.
The fifth week Of the strike has

WHAT IS THE
MATTER WITH BUSINESS

1t might not be out of the way
for US to see and realize how other
people even remote from US,
regard the present conditions.
For this purpose it might not Je
out of place Ito reprint the follow
ing from The Banking World of
Chicago, which says:
at must be admitted that husi-
ness in this country is not exactly
what it should be. This is largely
cha-gable to a mental disturbance
which has taken possession Of the
American people. That it is with
out any solid foundation makes
little difference, since business
depends upon confidence. Twenty
years ago a famous English physi.
clan defined health as a condition
where one was NOT conscious Of
possessing any organs except as
his attention was externally
directed TO them. business hcaItb
depends upon much the same con-
ditions. As long as things movc
forward in an orderly way there is
no general complaint. though some
are making less monev than hey
ought to.
But warnings as to abuses and
impending disasters disturb the
mind Of the public and by the
very discussions they provoke.

lead to extra caution resulting in
the curtailment of business trans.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Governor Oddie has issued the
following Thanksgiving proclama
ton:
In obedience to a long and
beautiful custom to observe one
day in each year, especially set
apart by the constituted authori
ties for the purpose of expressing
gratitude unto our Creator for
the many favors bestowed, and IN
recognition of the recommendation
of the President CT the U nited
States. / ,Tasker l.. eddie, Cover
Ior Of the State of Nevada, do
designate Thursday, November
30th, 1911, a day of Thanksgiving
for the people of Nevada should
be truly thankful, for the year
fast coming to a close has added
many thousands of acres to our
cultivated lands; and through the
medium of artesian wells, water
has been found in different Sec
tons of the state, which will have
the effect of turning the sage
brush lands into garden spots, anu
thereby bringing into u midst
large numbers of the tillers of
the soil, who are looking for per-
manent homes.
Our mines are today the world;
greatest producers of the precious
metals, and, not only are they
adding to the wealth of the
country, but are giving employ
ment at the highest wage to
thousands of our people.
Poverty is virtual unknown
within the boundaries of our
Commonwealth and while many of
us suffered greatly as a result of
the financial disturbance of several
years ago, yet today, there is but
little to remind us of that un-
fortunate period.
For all these blessings, and
many others which the All Wise
Father has bestowed upon US, let
us be thankful. and let US be;eeci.
a continuance of his mercies.
On this day let US forget
all sorrows and disappointmonts.
and let US turn to an ali promis-
ing future, and with hearts and
minds prepared, receive the
abundant blessings which God will
surely bestow upon those who
honor Him.
