Young Men Joining
Army and Navy

Statistics gathered at the army aud
navy recruiting stations in New York
City and suburban towns show that
thousands of young men have suddenly
developed an eargerness to join Uncle
Sans service. The daily number OF
applicants for enlistment has more than
doubled since the orders were issued for
the mobilization of 10000 troops along
the Mexican border. During the first
ten days of March more than 1000 men
applied in that city to join the army.
This total is nearly doubled by the APP
plications received in suburban towns.
The applications for service in the navy
are about half as numerous as those for
the army. Conditions for entering
both branches Of the service are being
maintained very strictly. however, and
only about 10 per cent Of the applicants
are accepted.

A Pious Wish,

Tonopah Bonanza: With the passage
OF Assembly bill No. 173, introduced by
Coke Of Lincoln County. the one meri'
torious Act Of the late session OF the
Legislature was accomplished. This
Act alone almost made up for the many
things that had been neglected by the
body which adjourned sine die yester'
day. The citizens Of the entire State,
especially those OF Tonopah. feel in
debted to Mr.. Coke for the introduction
Of the measure and grateful to the
Legislature for adopting it.
Carson Appeal: Among the laws
which have passed the late Legislature
is Bill No. 173. which is aimed to re-
lieve the present state of the defunct
banks in the Court. The apparent in.
ten of the law mov the affairs OF
the defunct banks from the hands of
receivers and places them in the hands
of the State Banking Board and the
State Bank Examiner.
The Nye and Ormsby County Bank
and the State Bank & Trust Company
are the institutions against which the
bill was aimed. The Bank Examiner is
already paid a salary by the State and
will be compelled to perform the new
duties without further compensation.
In future all moneys will go to the de-
positors instead of to the receiver, re-
ceiver's clerks and attorneys.
Assemblyma nan Coke Of Lincoln is the
father of the new law, which will be
hailed with joy, not only in Tonopah
but also in Goldfeld, Carson City,
Wonder, Reno and Blair.

ONLY COMPLETE CENSUS
OF INDIANS TAKEN IN 1910
Shows That Navajos Have Always
Practiced PoIygamy and Profited.

The Indian census of 1910 will be
the only enumeration of the red men
in this country which will be near cor
rect. 1t will be the first census taken
in which are recorded not only the
names of the Indians and their ages
and family relationship, but also in it
will be Incorporated all the tribal data
that can be gathered.
In this work the educated Indians
have played a prominent part, and the
1910 census relating to the red men
will contain a vast amount of interest
ing data concerning Indian population
of the country, which is largest in
Arizona
For instance this data will show
that the Navajos practice polygamy
and have since before their history
was begun by the white man. Their
reservation covers many square miles
of northeast Arizona and portion of
northwestern New Mexico.
And in connection with this practice
1t will also be shown that the more

papooses the richer he may be. For
it so happens that in the recent land
allotments made by the government
the proportion of ground is granted to
each and every Indian, irrespective of
whether he be the head of a family or
a one ear-old child.
One-quarter section of land is given
to each child, man or woman, and
thus the Navajo with thirteen wives
and forty children is in luck, while the
bachelor brave with no wife or child
is cut down to a measly 16O acres of
land.
The process of rounding up the In
dams, tabulating them and their rights
to these quarter sections of land is nee
essarily slow in working out.

indianapolis Auctioneer Mayor to Try
Goats Milk Cure.
Mayor Shank of Indianapolis is pre-
parting to drink two quarts of goats
milk daily as a cure for indigestion
and is satisfied that if cure results
he will be able to stay in his office
longer and therefore transact the bust
ness of the city more expeditiously.
He has gathered statistics showing
that goats milk If taken in sufficient
quantities will cure the disease, and he
is going to try it.
The mayor says that as an auction
eer he was never troubled with any
thing, but the mayoralty gives few op-
portunities for cracking jokes, and he
attributes his indisposition to the fact
that there are not as many laughs in
the mayor business as there were in
crying sales.
