NEVADA DELEGATION FOR TAFT.

The Republicans who met in Fallon on Monday
Of this week did eNectly what it supposed they
would do They selected set OF men to go to the
Chicago convention who are irrevocaby pledged to
William H. Taft for President. The manner in
which the delegates from the several counties were
selected go to the State convention foretod this
action p. l.. Flanagan, the National Committee
for the State OF Nevada. desired to go to the
National convention. but would not go pledged to
any candidate: therefore he will stay at home. As
we look at the matter of sending pledged Taft
delegation to Chicago is very poor politics for
the Republican party of this State. Roosevelt is
gaining strength daily This must be acknowl-
edged by even those who are opposing him. and ii
he is nominated he will be elected Then it may be
that Nevada Republicans will wish that they had
at least sent delegation to Chicago that at
least uninstructed and free for the best good
OF the party and the State. 1t cannot be supposed
that Roosevelt. if he is the next President, will be
as heartily friendly to Nevada he would if the
State had not SO bitterly opposed him. lie is the
man. who when President. the friend OF the
West. When the reclamation bill having a
hard row to hoe it President Roosevelt who
took off his coat and labored with the members OF
the House to get them i'll line Tor the measure. Il
would have been useless to have thought OF passing
the measure II II had not been tor the influence ol
Roosevelt had with the eastern Congressmen, a
great many OF whom he changed that they sup
ported the bill. For many years Congress had been
asked to recognize the West in this matter Our
Senator's and Congressman had tried time and aga'r
to pass such measure. but the East aSail,s
them. Roosevelt carried the measure through when
he got to work it. Evidently the Republicans q
Nevada forgot this action of his when they were N
Fallon in convention assembled. At any rate they
did not give the friend OF Nevada-Theodore Roo,'-
vet-a square deal However the milk is split and
there is crying over it.

GOOD ROADS.

There is never so good an Improvement IN any
country which needs them good roads. Inc
eastern and middle States have spent hund-
reds OF thousands OF dollars in building roads, and
in some OF those States it costs an immense amount
OF money to build roads. There is great deal OF
good roads save him a great deal of money each
acadamizng be done after the dirt road is turn
pked and it costs money. Automobile travellers
have been the ones find the bad roads, and they,
too are responsible for the building OF many humid
reds of miles OF good roads. The farmer OF the East
and the West is also awakening to the fact that
good roads save him great deal OF money each year
after they are constructed. This saving comes IN
the shape of less expense to get crops to market less
cost to keep vehicles in repair and less wear on the
animals.
There probably is no State in which good roads
can be made cheaper than in Nevada-that Is most
parts of this State. At the present time an automo-
bile route is being considered across the State and
it is safe to say will any more in proper
ton than road of this kind would across the States
of Illinois. Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas or any OF
the western States. Such highway would be a
great thing for Nevada. 1t would bring many auto
mobile travellers within our borders, and they would
naturally become acquainted with many OF our re-
sources Then, If there were good roads branching
from this main road into other parts OF the State
these visitors would be induced to visit sections
away from the man road. Every county can afford
to build few miles of good road each year 1t
will not do to half do the work. The roads should
be made substantial il only mile two is built
Then the upkeep will not be expensive i'll the
future.
Lyon county needs good roads. One good.
broad highway from the north to the south end. OF
the valley. macadamzed with the rock OF which
Yerington streets are built would be one OF the
greatest things the valley could have. 1t would
cost money, but the return would more than
pay Tor the expense, in more ways than one. Be
cause we have railroad running through the val
ley is why wagon roads should be
overlooked. You cannot travel on the railroad and
be accommodated in reaching your destination
when YOU choose but YOU horse and
buggy or an automobile to travel at your will when
YOU have good roads to travel over.
A crusade for good roads should be started in
Lyon county. We need them. The money eX-
pended on them will be given to home people and
will not be taken out of the community.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The sugar rchners. who desire free raw sugar,
make the assertion that sugar beets only be
grown in a Jew restricted localities They say YOU
can never hope to produce your sugar at home.
Why encourage an industry which at best sup
ply but portion OF your needs while we sup
ply all YOU consume.
In to this argument ii can be stated
that our Secretary OF Agriculture. Wilson, is en-
thusiastic supporter OF our home sugar industry.
He tells us that with present yield per acre
less than 100000 acres planted to sugar beets
would produce all the sugar consume, and that
in territory that stretches from ocean to ocean,
we have 2740OO,O0O acres OF wel-defned sugar beet
soil, enough to produce nearly hundred times
the total amount OF sugar consume.

Realizing that for various reasons public sent
ment is antagonstic to the sugar refners, they are
attempting turn this antagonsm to their pr-
vate gain by making the people believe that the most
efficient way they hit the refners is by reducing
or removing the duty on foreign sugar. And
not few of the people falling for this kind OF a
statement. Study up the question.

GREENS ON RIVER CRAFT,
How Christmas Was Observed Along
the Water Front.

Christmas day is being observed as
holiday In all the business houses along
the river front. except at the steamboat
wharves. where the late arrival of steam
ers from the lower river has kept the
clerks on duty the greater part Of the
day delivering Christmas packages. When
the lumber, wood, railroad tie and coal
handling houses closed yesterday after
noon they were not to open their doors
again until tomorrow morning. At the
FISH wharf the dealers kept open in the
morning to receive incoming shipments
OF fish, but before noon practically all
were closed up and the men had gone
home.
The spirit OF the holiday season was
seen in the evergreen decorations on the
steamboats,, and even the little tugs and
some few sailing craft had cedar bushes
at the top OF their fagpoles and mast
heads Some few of the vessels in the
haroor displayed their flags In honor of
the day. and the steamers were all
dressed out in their bunting.
The steamers arriving from the lower
river points with the last consignment OF
Christmas freight from the river landings
attracted large number Of persons to
the steamboat wharves. and they were
busy places the greater part OF the day.
The number Of small packages contain
ing Christmas remembrances. sent by
residents OF the river section Of MARYLAND
died by the river steamers has been
heavier this year than for several years,
and the steamboat agents and clerks have
been working eighteen out Of each TWEEN
ty-four hours for the last week or ten
days.

SHIPS NOT TO SEEK RECORD.
Vessels Bearing Presidential Party
Will Cling to Schedule.

So far as officials of the Navy Depart
ment are advised no attempt to break the
speed record will be made by the battle
ships Arkansas and Delaware, bearing
the President and party, on their return
trip from Panama.
The Presidents itinerary provides for
his return to this city in ample time to
hold the usual public reception in the
White House New Year day, and the
schedule of the naval vessels was ar
ranged with that object in view.
Unless plans have been changed since
the Presidents departure from Key
West, he will disembark from the Arkan-
sas at that port and make the remainder
of the trip to the National Capital BIS
rail That vessel and her es eort, the Del
aware. made the run from Key West to
Cristobal at the rate of about eighteen
knots an hour, in doing which they made
up two hours Of delay in their departure.
1t is expected that the same average
speed will be maintained on the return
trip to Key West 1t is not at all inn
probable, however, that when the men,
bers Of the presidential party have dis
embarked at Key West the vessels will
make squirt to Hampton roads in order
to establish a working record between the
Virginia anchorage and the northern en-
trance to the Panama canal.
Naval officers regard it as extremely
unlikely that any experiments will be
made with the ships engines or boilers
while the President Of tn United States
is on board as a passenger.

William L. Soleau. who up to a year
and q half fPo was the disbursing clerk
Of the department., also was guest at

to Washington for the holidays from
Ios Angeles, Cal. where he is now in

The chief clerk Of the department. Both
celebrations took place Immediately after
the close Of Office hours.
