ELY-GoLDF1ELD RAILROAD.

Commenting on the proposed Ely-Goldfeld
railroad, the Reno Gazette of recent issue,
says:
1T is again announced that the Ely-Goldfeld
railroad will be built. A mere glance at the
map of Nevada would evidence that such
line would prove to be a cutoff of hundreds Of
miles between Salt Lake City and Southern
California, and in addition, it would open up
many districts which contain almost unlimited
tonnage of ores that cannot, on account of their
rebellious nature, be worked the ground neither
can they be shipped proftably owing to their
present distance from the railroads.
The only reason that this road was not
built many years ago is the difficulty in con-
struction. The mountain ranges in Nevada
practically all run north and south and the only
way to cross the state without spending an enOr-
nous amount of money is to follow the water
courses, all of which, it is alleged have already
been pre-empted by three transcontinental roads
now passing through the state.
''It is possible, however, that by making de-
tours, the Ely-Goldfeld people may avoid heavy
construction work. The building of the pro-
posed line would vastly stimulate mining and
other industries in Nevada

ToNoPAH's FIRE DEPARTMENT.

From the efficient work of Tonopah's fire de-
partment in the test of new chemical nozzle
yesterday afternoon, it is, comparatively speak
ing, the peer of any department in the entire
country. 1t has long been admitted that the
local department is about the best in the state
of Nevada, and if any doubts existed they
must have been swept away, when Chief Sin
clair and his competent crew, in the short space
of 80 seconds-with the aid of the new attach
ment-extinguished blaze that had gained
considerable Roadway in shack saturated with
oil for the occasion. Incidentally the boys
showed burst of speed in re-chargmg the
chemical nozzle, accomplishing the feat in three
seconds The volunteers also did some good trial
work and the two departments are things of
which Tonopah has every right to be proud.

FOR THE SOUTH POLE.

The announcement that Roald Amundsen has
embarked for trip to the South Pole in the
severe winter of that region has caused some
commotion in the world of explorers. But prob
ably Amundsen knows what he is doing He has
considerable experience in exploration. He was
the navigator in the Belgian expedition under
De Gerlache, who spent two years in the polar
regions In 1902 he set sail for the north in
order to discover the magnetic pole, and three
years later word was received that he had sue
ceeded in this, and also in discovering the North
west passage, SO long sought in vain.
The South Pole, it is supposed, is situated
on a plateau 10000 feet high, while the North
Pole is covered with water As far as known
there is no higher forms of life at the extreme
SOUTH but the explorers have noted that the
winds that blow from the south are compare
lively warm
Friends of Captain Amundsen hope that he
will reach the South Pole. If he does, he should
not commit the error of Mr.. Peary and take
precautions against having any witnesses to
triumph. There can be little satisfaction in
having to meet skepticism after having con
quered the indescribable difficulties of nature,
merely for lack of witnesses. If Amundsen
reaches the South Pole the honor and glory
will be his, no matter if he leads an entire
army to victory.

THE ARKANSAS WAY.

In the lower house of the Arkansas legisa
tube a bill has been passed which provided for
the removal from office of any public official who
becomes drunk more than once during his term
of office. The press reports of this action are
far from specific. They fail to define the
word drunk, which for century upon century
has been question for debate and what is
more, they fail to state just how long that cone
drunk" shall last Should an official become
intoxicated upon the first day of his term and
remain soaked" through his entire tenure of
office, that would constitute one glorious
drunk, and according to the wording of
the bill, would be in accordance with the law
of the state. Looks like damphool legislation
and trife hard on Jeff" Davis

MEETING A NEED FOR ART.

A Chicago institution has sprung into being
to meet the need of negro "racial art' in
the south. 1t will be recalled that the Rev.
DR. Oscar Haywood, of New York, recently
called attention to this more or less lOng-felt
want, and the Chicago concern is putting this
advertisement in newspapers Of the south
Agents Wanted-Our new negro re-
ligious picture, The Little Shepherd
ready this month. All negroes buy
Negro Angel Jesus Died for Negroes,
Rock of Ages, Jack Johnson 'Por-
traits pillow tops, frames. Catalogues
and samples free"
The close association in the advertisement
of the Crock of Ages and Jack johnson y
rasps bit one s sense of propriety and pro-
portion, but newspaper advertising space at
cent word probably compels economy in the
description of art for SALE Remembering how
an enterprising individual got rich selling in the
south preparation guaranteed to make the
African S hair straight it is easy to believe that
'all negroes buy Negro Angel" ETC., but in
the interests of "racial art'' we would like to
know how the sales of ''Jesus Died for Ne
groes" compare with those for Jack johnson,
who has achieved that dizzy ultimate of Eth
opian ambition of having white man working
for him.
