FINE FRUIT EXHIBIT
AT THE CHAMBER

The general impression prevails
throughout the country, and to a
greater or less extent in this state,
that Nevada produces no fruit. That
more is not grown is entirely the fault
of the residents, as we have the soil,
climate, and in most localities suffi-
cient water for the purpose.
Secretary Jacobs has on exhibition
in the Chamber of Commerce show
window samples of as fine fruit as can
be grown anywhere. In a basket is
contained plums, prunes. two varieties
of apples, and pears, while suspended
from the ceiling are immense branches,
loaded with the fruit enumerated. All
was grown on the ranch of b. Klucny,
situated few miles south of town,
and is an illustration of what NAV be
accomplished in this reputed "desert
country with a very slight effort.

HIGH STANDARD OF NOR
AIS IN UNITED STATES NAVY

The transformation from the sail
PEELED man-o'war to the compli-
Gated mass of machinery known as the
modern battleship is not one bit more
pronounced than the improvement
which has taken place in the personnel
of the men who compose the human
working parts of these great ma
chimes. Time was when the navy was
looked upon by many as sort of re-
form school, a last resort to which
young men could be sent who were
not quite bad enough to put in Jail
and not good enough to roam at large.
Such conditions have fortunately pass
ed away and the American navy today
is composed of brains and muscle of
the highest order and personnel of
which the country can be proud. | was
specially impressed with this fact
when during the past season ] spent
some days in a well-known New Eng
land port which is seldom without one
of more naval vessels during the sum-
mer. At this particular time there
were four batleships and eight smaller
fighting craft, with total of over
four thousand men on board On two
of the battleships the men had not set
foot on land for six months-an un-
usually long time-and naturally were
anxious to get ashore. When | saw
the ships steam launches towing the
long lines of boats filed with
thousand men, with "a hours shore
leave, ga hot time in the old town
tonight, - semed to me inevitable. And
there IS where | guessed wrong. The
young men were allowed the fullest
liberty; they had plenty of money and
were very live wires; and the saloons
and places of amusement were making
special efforts and working overtime
to attract visitors.
When the "a hours expired an the
launches came putting into dock again,
watched the bcys load into their re-
spective ships boats and out of one
thousand, two, Just two boys, requir-
ed assistance from their comrades.
And the chief of police told me his
men had not had occasion to arrest
single man. TO me the high standard
of conduct, TIE respect for the uni
form, and respect fer ones self, which
is taught these young men, was
most impressive thing. Can you i'm
agine 900 Young men of equal age,
landsmen, including clerks in banks,
Offices and stores, and skilled young
men in all the various mechanical
trades, going out on their first holiday
in six months, with plenty of money to
spend, and all restraint removed, and
coming back at the end of "a hours
with only two men disableds'
The conduct of the boys of the navy,
ashore in their own lond, with less
necessity for constraint than in for
eign port, deserves the highest com
mendation, and better words of praise
and congratulation than these few
lines express.-H. II. Windsor, in the
October Popular Mechanics Magazine.

LADY SERIOUSLY BURNED
BY GASOLINE EXPLOSION

Last evening, while cleaning gar
ment with gasoline Mrs. J. J. Myers
was seriously burned about the hands
and face 1t is supposed the gosoline
ignited from the friction caused by
rubbing. A can containing several
gallons was standing near where Mrs.
Myers was working, and hearing his
wife's cry for help, Mr.. Myers rush
ed out of the house to the back porch,
where the accident occurred, and
threw the can ont into the yard. He
then wrapped Mrs. Myers in an over
coat and the flames were soon ex-
tinguished.
Dir. Hall was summoned, who reliev-
er the patient to such an extent that
she is much improved today.

ITALIAN WORKERS
TIRED OF STRIKING

Italy has been for the last dozen
years good field for strike expert
ments, and should be a salutary ex-
ample for the working classes in other
countries. Until the end of the last
century strikes, although not contem-
plated by any article of the penal
code, were practically considered
crimes and were treated accordingly.
That was an exaggeration which led
to most unpleasant results.
Slgnor Giolitti, the premier with
that common sense and balance of
mind which distinguished him, chang
ed all this, proclaiming entire liberty
to strike on the part of the workmen,
together, however, with the most en-
ergetic protection of the workmen who
do not wish to join tn emovement. He
realized that the agitation for better
conditions for the workmen cannot be
suppressed, and that any attempt in
this direction might have brought
about riots of revolutionary char
acters. The results he attained are
most interesting. There was at first
an absolute epidemic of strikes. The
workmen could hardly believe in their
new-found liberty, and struck for any
and every reason, and, in some cases,
for no reason at all.
Strikes reached their climax in 1907,
after which year they gradually de-
cteased, as appears from tne statistics
of last year just issued, in which the
greater number of strikes, reaching
ITO, with $4,000 strikers, occurred in
the building trades, followed by nine
ty-two strikes, with 10000 strikers,
among navvies, and sixty-fve strikes
and $500 strikesrs in the brickyards.
1t must, however be remembered
that these workmen only relatively
short time ago received in Italy wages
rising from 25 to so cents day, which
are now doubled and in some cases
trebled.
Taking the strikes as a whole, over
33 per cent ended with the complete
defeat of the strikers, and only abort
10 per cent with their complete vie
tory, while the remainder were suc-
cessful or unsuccessful in varying de-
grees. In these strikes the EMPLOYEES
lost 2.95S.000 DAYS work, besides 6l,-
700 days work lost by trades depend
ent on the strikers, making total in
wages of about So 900, ,000.-New York

TAIL OF MOOSfRS
GETS Y|TUPERAT|vE

1t is an old saying that when the
more disreputable sort of lawyer sees
defeat inevitable he abuses the oppos-
ing attorney. The Third term candi-
date and his associates in the campaign
to elect Woodrow Wilson and defeat
President Taft begin to see that their
program OF party betrayal is bound to
have no other result than their own
discontinue and, partly in a frenzy of
disappointment, partly to divert popu-
lar attention from the real issues of
the contest, they are sounding the low
est depths of blackguardism.
Hiram oJhnson, the vermiform amen
dix of the Third term, is reported to
have used the following language be-
fore the Third term state convention
in Ohio:
cit is with shame, as American citi-
zens, that / say that today the most
humiliating character in all American
history is the president of the United
States.''
The average American has supposed
that the distinction stated by the
blackguard comrade of Roosevelt be-
longed to one of several who might be
named, including Benedict Arnold,
John Wilkes Booth, Guiteau and Czol-
gosz. These evidently are preferen-
Czolzosz-in the es-
TEEN of Roosevelt's associates, and
presumably also of Roosevelt himself
Ito President Taft.
Reckless, desperate, insanely vitup
perative as the Third term team may
be in their attacks on the honored oc-
cupant of the presidential chair, they
ought to have sanity enough to remem
ber that language such as the fore
going is an affront as much to the
American people as to President Taft.
As head of the nation criticism OF his
administration is in order, but attacks
should stop short of infamous insult
to the nation in the person of its chief
magistrate. The citizens OF Ohio who
heard Johnson IS disgusting TRADE
were as much the object of it as their
and our president.
The campaign of anarchy has evil
IDENTIFY degenerated into a campaign of
indecency unprecedented in the politi-
cal history of the United States, and
which cannot fail to impress upon law
abiding citizens their imperative duty
to support law and order, sanity and
safety by re-eleeting President Taft.
