We understand that these methods
were used in order to attract the mans
attention and assist him in the exer-
else Of faith.
The statement that Jesus sighed is
worthy Of note; we can only surmise
that it indicated His deep sympathy
with the man before Him and with the
grooming creation in general. The
lesson seems to be that He was
Touched With a Feeling of Mans In
firmities,
as had been prophesied He was per-
feet, He did not have a body with
aches and pains and blemishes, such
as other men have. but this did not
make Him cold and unsympathetic,
rather the reverse. His perfect mind
would make all His sensibilities more
active than ours; His sympathy would
be stronger. His sense of pain keener.
We, as a fallen race, have become so
accustomed to many of our surround
lngs that they are commonplace and
we are inclined to consider them nat
ural-fOrgetting that the natural order
Of man would be the perfect order.
and that the bemished state is the un-
natural.
In yet another way may we suppose
our Master was touched with a feel
ing of our infirmities. namely, by rea-
son of His losing vitality on the occa-
sion Of each miracle. Is not this the
meaning of the Scripture which de-
clares that "He poured out His soul
unto death?" Daily, hourly, His vi
tally was being exhausted in the heal
ing, blessing, comforting and instruct
ing Of those with whom He was in
contact. This thought should properly
bring our hearts into very close touch
that much clearer view of the Savior's
love.

1t is following the account of this
miracle that we read that the multi

We are not to understand that merely
this one healing was the basis of their
comment, for the account of these

FATHER is FRESHMAN.
Man Thirty-five in University Foot
ball Squad.

No student of the University OF
Oregon has more pep" than has j.
A. Loundagin, 35 years old and the
father of two children, who wears a
green freshman cap not much larger
than a postage stamp and turns out
for football practice with the vars
ity squad.
With Loundagin's arther belated
entrance into college is connected a
story of unusual ambition and perse-
verance. A dozen years ago he was
student in Pearson Academy, the
preparatory school to Whitman Col
lege. He discontinued his education,
however, before he had received a
high school diploma. Since that time
he has benn engaged with his broth
er in farming their 1,000-acre ranch
in Whitman county, Washington,
and as a result is now in comfortable
circumstances.
Loundagin has always cherished
an ambition to become a physician,
and last summer, being then able to
support himself and his family dur
ing the years course necessary to
the attainment of doctors degree,
he made up sufficient work in the
University of Oregon summer school
to entitle him to college entrance.

The miracles were merely incidentals
and not His real work.
1t would have been a still greater
and grander work for Jesus to nave eX-
pounded the Divine Plan, and to have
opened the eyes of the understanding
of the people. and their deaf ears; but
this work could not be accomplished
to any extent until after He had as
cended up on nigh, and had appro-
priated the merit of His sacrifice to the
Justification of believers. Hence it
was that Jesus said to His disciples,
Greater works than these shall ye do
because | go to My Father"
The account in the conclusion Of this
lesson, of the feeding Of four thousand
people with seven loaves, and the TAX
ing of seven hampers Of fragments,
was another manifestation of Jesus
power, or as He would express it. of
the Divine power in Him. When the
five thousand were fed. five loaves and
two fishes were used, and they were
gotten from n small boy. In this case
the disciples themselves had seven
lOaves. and gave their all for the feed
ing of the multitude, and all had sutii-
cient. Let us exercise faith in God
and partake of our daily bread with
grateful hearts: there will be bless.

Congressman Hawley addressed
the assembly Friday morning on
Mixing Brains With Your Work"
He said that the only difference be-
tween the blacksmith and the man
that makes razor blades or hair
springs is that the latter mixes more
brains with the iron. Each person
has from 100000 to 100000 brain
cells, but the most that anyone has
ever developed is 10000, so that
there is great room for development.
According to the old saying, there
is room at the top, but the top is not
in sight when no one ever develops
more than one-quarter of his brain.
Some people are lucky, but most adj
vance just as far as they are prepared
to go, and they are usually prepared
to go just as far as they want to go.
Education is systematic prepara-
ton for advancement"

rived this week from the state library

instead of the present kind distorted by
excessive giving on the one hand and in
ability to give on the other, which
makes the day one Of mingled joy aud

The most miserable Christmas present,
the kind that no human being is rich

understands will be made unhappy by
that kind of gift. You know yourself thai

MDGrmid Ranch In ElkO

F. A. McDermid, for the last 30 years a
resident of Elko County. west of the present
site of Currie Station ON the Nevada North

the McDermid ranch in Elko and White Pine
Counties. together with valuable water rights

WELLS FARGO EXPRESS RATES

The Wells Fargo Express Company
has a ravenons appetite for profits. 10
the old days il used to be positively un-
civil sharp competition has polished mp
it's manners to some extent. but the fig.
ures unearthed by the California Rail.
road Commission show there is plenty
Of room for more competition in this
State. Wells Fargo seem to have a
hotch-potch of rates based upon what
the traffic will bear; as is evinced in the
example presented whereby it is shown
that the same package which is sent
from Los Angeles to Hemet for 81 may
may be sent from Lodi to San francisco.
q distance of one mile further, for 80
cents. The Commission has found out
that the Wells Fargo Company realizes
between 200 and 400 per cent profit on
its investments in this State, and that
the average monthly profit is around
$340. 900. The railroads get 40 per cent
of the express company charges. and 60
per cent is retained for merely receiving
and delivering the package with a COM
paratively small outlay of equipment.
William r. Wheeler. traffic expert en-.
gagged by the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce, says that practically the same
condition exists in every State as tina
which the Railroad Commission found
in California and that there is no basis
of scheduled rates ON which the charges
are made.
Now that the parcel post is certain.
the express companies are raising their
piteous cry about being driven out OF
business. There is no occasion for them
to plead for mercy with such facts and
figures at hand they haven't been doing
a business at all. but rather practicing
systematic robbery.-Stockton, Cali

WINGFIE[D NOT TO
Be SENATORIAL CANDIDATE
Saws Politics Do Not Interest
Him Except In Aiding Friends
And Policies He Believes
To Be Right

George Wingfeld returned the first
Of the week from his trip East and gave
the Reno Gazette the following inter-
view:
81 understand that some Of the Nevada
and Coast newspapers have been very busy
since my departure in running me for the
United States Senate two years hence against
Senator Newlands. wish to say that / will
not be a candidate against Senator Newlaads
or any one else two years hence. My BUSH
ness is making mines and making the mines
pay dividends. If / succeed in this / viii
have performed my life work. Politics
doesn't interest me anyhow, except 10 the
aiding of my friends and in furthering the in
terests Of men and policies which l believe to
be right.
Then there comes the rumor from certain
busy people in Gold6eld that 1 intend to
wreck their town. Let me say in as few
words as possible that il there is TO be any
wrecking done out there it will be my per-
sonal fortune that meets with disaster.
II have as heavy interests in the town as
all the other people who reside there COM
bined, and I certainly would be short sighted
not to protect these interests. l al to
make Gold6eld a permanent camp, and will
labor continually to that end. I want all Of
Nevada's camps and districts to succeed,
whether l am personally and financially in
terested in them or not.
"If the people who libel me with their ma.
licious rumors were to get in and build and
dig and interest capital as l am doing, they
would not have time for the expression of ma
hcious sentiments directed against those whC
have succeeded because they have taken Q
chance and have plugged without inter
| mission.
But enough of these two unpleasant
and myself greatly enjoyed our 16 days visit
to Chicago, New York, Washington anG
other Eastern cities, the best part of the triI
being the return to Reno.
There Is little interest in mining in tn
East at present. People seem to be sittin,
still after the turmoil Of the political cam
paign. They, however, are vitality interested
in shares that pay dividends or which ap
preciate in value. but they are not taking tn
long chances they did in the earlier days.
"As to Buckhorn, the property is looking
well. Conservatively estimating, there !
!, 1000, 900 worth of ore in sight. We are driv
ing a tunnel to connect with the mine work
ings of the mine to convey the ore to the or
bins at the mill. On the 18th of Decembe
the tunnel was in 998 feet with 572 feet still
to go.
"Icannot add anything to the report W
sent out recently regarding the physical con
dition of the Goldfeld Consolidated. 1t
my belief that the mining industry in tn
State of Nevada is on a better basis an
possesses a more hopeful outlook than at an,
previous time in the history Of the State"

Golfers of the State of Nevada have been
enriched to the extent Of $2s, 700 through

Chase, il is said. could not overcome
the desire for drink. and some years ago
held his hands in the fire. They were SO
badly burned they had to be amputated.
From then on he did not take a drink,
and it was after hat time hat he ac-
cumulated his fortune.

MINING MACHINERY MISSING
Agent Going Out to Do Assessment
Work Finds Il Has Disappeared

Going out to the property Of the Nevada
Star Mining Company, near Carlin, Elko
County. Nevada, to do assessment work, Su-
perintendent @. H. Goodhue, of Indian Falls,
California, found last week that since closing
down the property last January, machinery
and building costing about $1,000 had disap-
peared, as though blown to a far country by .
cyclone.
Consulting with Attorney Mark Walser Of
Reno. he is now laying plans to get back the
missing property, part Of which is said to be
in storage at Lovelock. He charges that ].
w. Wenzel of Lovelock, well known as a
mining promoter in the State, appeared at
Carlin shortly after the closing down of the
property saying that he was there to dismantle
the machinery and ship it away. Part Of the
equipment was sold at Carlin, it is alleged,
and part of it was billed to Wenzel at Inlay
where it was said to have been attached by a
mercantile firm doing business in Lovelock.
At any rate the original owners who are
Cleveland capitalists discovered after sending
their men out to do assessment work. that
they have no machinery, as they supposed.
and they are now taking such steps as possible
to recover it.-Reno Gazette.

CHARGE AGAINST RANCHER
Prominent EIko County Citizen Accused
of Stealing and Butchering Cattle


J. GO. Munson, a prominent Clover Val
ley rancher, is in a rather serious pre-.
dicament if certain charges made against
him are true and car be proven.
Last Tuesday, it appears. a roundup
was made by Glover Valley stockmen.
and that night MunsoD. who had heen
suspected of stealing aud butchering cat
tie for sometime. was given an oppor-
tunity to take an animal out OF the herd.
Adolph Weeks and Tom Trsmmer laid
in watch, and Munson is alleged to have
taken a steer branded with an OK yoke
from the herd, and to have b~utchered the
same. He was watched, and when he
had about finished the W. men entered
the corral where he was and took the
hide from him as evidence. Ii is claimed
that he offered to make settlement. but
this was refused, and il is understood
that the case will be strongly fought by
the cattlemen of that section.
Mr.. Munson lives near Tobar, a small
on the Western Pacific. He is
engaged in dry farming ard has a ranch
Of l44O acres. He is well to do. having
such farming implements as steam pillow,
steam thresher, etc., and this year raised
1000 sacks Of grain.

morning after Munson with a warrant
