NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
They All KnoU Us NotO

Now is the time when the State news
papers are receiving letters from men
they do not know. and possibly never
heard Of, stating the writer is to be a
candidate for some office or has some
pet scheme and any aid the editor can
bestow will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, no doubt it would. On the
other hand any aid these politicians can
bestow lin advance) to recompense for
the space used in the paper, would also
be appreciated. II politicians want to
advertise their business why in dickens
don't they include check as evidence OF
good faith for the amount of advertis-
ing they desire and send along copy
properly signed for advertising?
Talk about business. If there is any
business in newspaper men giving away
space any more than a merchant giving
away his goods we are unable to see
where it comes in.-Carson Appeal.

NEvADAN HAS GREAT INVENTION
Desert Youth Excels Thomas A. Edison
In Dcvising Important Patent

An invention which may prove to be
Of the greatest Importance in use of the
telephone, and possibly of the phono-
graph-a device for intensifying cleo.
trical currents-has been patented by
William Hoppe, 30 years old, who
comes from the small town Of Tecoma.
Nevada, says the New York Times
This desert youth asserts that his
patent was granted over an application
OF Thomas A. Edison. who had long
been working on similar device. and
that he also outreached several other
electrical experts.
Hoppe says that with his intensifier
and sufficient power music could be trans
mitted from q London music hall and
produced on the streets Of New York
with srch volume that it could be heard
for one hundred yards or more. He de.
clares that the ocean could be crossed
by wireless waves and the effect would
be the same,
Some demonstrations he has given
with q small instrument show that
music can be so carried for q short dis
tance at least. He was able to inten-
sify the tick of watch so that it could
be heard 80 feet away. He ia now en-
gagged in making tests Of the transmits
sion of music between cities in this
vicinity.
As explained by the young inventor.
the device consists Of magnetized in
tensifier and a repeating mechanism to
strengthen and keep unde6led the cleo.
trical currents, based on the principal
that variations of sound cause vibrations
in the length OF the waves. He asserts
that he can transmit the waves over a
wire in such fashion that they will not
lose their identity. The only trouble
would come from mechanical interfer-
ence, and this with care and sufficient
numb Der of intensifiers and repeaters, he
believes, could be reduced to a negligible
quantity. In his tests in carrying the
tones ef a violin. trombone or the human
voice it has seemed to unframed observ-
ers as though the sonnd ives almost
perfect He has also employed the prin-
oiple of leverage to an electrical current.

Unique Explanation of Reason
Why So Many People Like
Mining Camps

One of the principal delights incident
to living out in the desert mining camps
is the continual state of uncertainty
which attaches to every move of our
daily life. Il Is Q continual and con.
tinuous game Of perhaps.
In the morning, as the shadow Of the
eastern hills grow shorter and the sun
begins to peep over the crest of the
malapai, one begins to speculate as to
the kind Of weather the day will pro.
duce. There 10 nothing on which to
base an opinion. no criterion by which
to judge. Let the sun rise on perfectly
clear sky. not cloud in sight nor a
breath Of wind stirring, and anywhere
but here it would be safe to predict fine
weather for the day. Not so in the
mountains Half an hour may bring a
gale Of wind. the sun may be obscured
by angry black clouds, threatening to
deluge everything, and In another 10
minutes the storm has blown past. not
. drop Of rain having fallen. and every.
thing as calm and serene as the CLASSY
surface Of q mountain lake. What is
coming next is beyond the power OF
man to tell.
Il is the same with everything as 1t Is
with the weather. II man digs in the
ground for the foundation of building,
he may expose goldbearing quartz vein.
Followed down, it may turn to silver.
and then to copper. You can never tell
Q speck about IL.
The kind of people who inhabit min.
ing camps are the kind who love to
guess and gamble, who are forever
chasing the end Of the rain bow. and the
reason they 20 to mining camps is be-
cause there are plenty of opportunities
to guess and gamble. and plenty Of
rainbows to chase .-Wonder News.

COL. FRED GRANT DEAD
Sudden Attack of Heart Disease,
Not Cancer, Caused His Death,
Say Physicians

New York, April 12 General Freder-
ick d. Grant, Commander of the De-
partment of the East and son of the
famous OWL War General and Presi-
dent u. s. Grant, died suddenly at
midnight at the Hotel Buckingham,
where he had been taken secretly Wed
nesday evening by his physicians. His
presence in this city was not known
until the news that he had been sud
denly stricken was flashed to newspaper
officers by the Police. A policeman
stationed near the hotel had called an
ambulance at the request of an employe.
who told him that General Grant was
choking to death.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1912-04-20
Statement BY Physicians

Doctors Able and Dench later sent
down to the hotel management state
ment in which they said:
General Grant died suddenly of
heart failure without premonition, at
midnight. He had retired at ii o'clock,
apparently in better condition than for
several weeks. Since his recent trip
his condition had given no special
anxiety to his physician. General Grant
had been suffering from diabetes and
the attendant digestive disturbances
which seemed, however. to be perfectly
under control. This sudden fatal termi.
nation came as great surprise"

Letter From a Louisiana Man Visiting
in the North.
Mr.. D. r. Read, Editor of
A. d. DIT ln,,nnnl

Mr.. ID. II. Read, Editor or
the Rice Belt Journal.
Dear Sir:
Since leaving our pleasant LOuiSi-
ana home at Roanoke, we have travel
ed about 1900 miles by rail and 200
bv hack and private CONVEYANCE,
Have visited in more than 80 homes,
have shared the hospitality OF many
of our old relatives aud friends and
formed the acquaintance Of manv new
ones. We are now turning our faces
homeward, expect TO visit few more
places and spend about 10 days or 2
weeks more in Pennsylvania, then
skip for Chicago, make a short stay,
then embark for Louisiana, one OF the
most productive states for Rice,
Cotton and Cane in tue U. S. Rice is
King in Louisiana, as u money MAX
ing crop, while better class of
people would be hard to find than can
be found there.
If they could but rralize the many
advantages in the south there would
be the largest emigration south that
the United States has ever en-
Derienced. People here are aud have
been blessed with good crops. Their
barns are well filled for the coming
long cold winter, which they talk
much about. WHY so many people
should prefer to stay where it takes
six months of hard labor to get pro-
vision and feed enough in store to
supply them for six months more, and
then endure the hardships of the cold
rigorous winter is something we can
not understand.
We have met people who think Tor
n say they do) they would not like to
81 live where they could not raise wheat.
Z tell them that we have better
money making proposition in rice.
from tie fact that wheat here Yields
from 10 to 30 bushels per acre and
sells now at soc per bushel, while 10
sacks OF rice is q fair estimate per
acre and will sell for S35. 90 to $4,000.
Then the truck farming IN the south,
all things cousi dsrvu, far exceeds the
north. Louisiana Is the finest and
most productive state for Irish and
sweet potatoes ] have ever lived in,
and all manner of garden truck is as
good If not superior in quality to
truck that can be found anywhere.
Corn and oats WELD q fair crop. and
any man who is not satisfied in
Louisiana, and especially in the
vicinity vf Roanoke, Welsh and Jen.
nings, is q chronic kicker. Any person
. who cannot succeed under favorable
circumstances in Louisiana canno
succeed anywhere, and the failures
are more often due to the man thar
the country.
While we have plenty to eat and
drink and are we'll cared for we arr
anxious to get back to our much
appreciated home at Roanoke, La.
Wishing everybody prosperity ant
success. the Journal and editor in

Heavy Rains Delay Harvest.

Beginning with last Friday, this
section of the state has been visited
with a number of heavy rams, frequent
" accompanied with wind and electri.
cal disturbances. While the rains are
of advantage to the late rice, this
benefit is far overbalanced by the de-
lay and damage caused by them in
the work of harvesting the earlier
crop. The crops at the present time
are in splendid condition with quite
an extensive acreage of the Honduras
ready to be cut.

A recent issue of the Jennings Times
Record contains what purports to
have been an interview with a Welsh
citizen, who is candidate for Clerk
Of Court, in which said citizen is re-
ported to have said. 1.-THE welsh
leaders we're very down at the mouth,
that after having checked up the regis
tration that it was found that the best
vote that could be polled in Ward s
was no." The truth of the matter is
the Welsh leaders have not yet COM
pleted checking up the registration
either for Welsh or for Ward =, and
neither the gentleman in question nor
any one is in a position to say how
many votes either Welsh or ward e
will be able to poll. AS for the leaders
of the Welsh parish seat fight being
'sdown in the mouth" that is utterly
at variance with the facts. AS matter
of fact, the Welsh leaders were never
more sanguin of success since the
fight began than they are right now.
The sentiment favOring placing the
parish seat in the center of the parish
is constantly increasing throughout
the parish and there is no reason for
them to feel otherwise than olated
over the prospects that are becoming
brighter every day for the overwheIm-
ing defeat of all opposition on Sep
