WHERE ARE THE FUNDS

Governor Oddie is in San Fran
cisco to pick out site for the 1915
fair. The site picking is all right
but how is Nevada to pay for it?
From the present indications the
treasury will be cleaned of the
last farthing before the next leg
islature meets and the state will
have to devise some means to pay
salaries and meet running expenses.
Should a site he selected it must be
paid for and to pay for it the
people must go down in their
jeans.
it locks very much like the
governor will have to do a lot Of
figuring to see the price of admis.
sion in this particular. Nevada has
seat commissioners to half dozen
fairs and expositions ard in each
instance has footed a relief bill.
In this case the relief will have
to be issued before the show opens
its Doors.
Truly the road of a republican
governor in Nevada is hard plow-
ing.-Appeal.

RANGHERS SELL POTATOES
At $40 Per TON NOW

A rancher from the Carson
river, below Dayton, was in
Virginia City Wednesday and
stated that potatoes are now bring
ing very high price. A buyer
from a California jcbber was in
that se:tion recently and contracted
for several carloads at $40 per
ton this being the highest price
brought in many years. Some Of
the ranchers disposed of the last
of their spud crop last week at $35
per ton, and are therefore con-
siderably disappointed that they
did not wait a week. There are
very few potatoes left around
Dayton and the scarcity around
Sacramento is said to be the most
acute in long time.

MULE ATE PIANO

Mule ate piano shipped. Send
another by next boat" This
message was received recently by
q local piano house from an "up-
the-riiver" purchaser whose $500
instrument had been forwarded
via Mississippi river steamboat.
In its usual pine box the piano
had been installed on the lower
deck next to lanky, sleepy-look-
Ing mule bound for the cotton

though provided with plenty of
oats and hay, the mule ripped off
portion of the outer box, dis
posing of six octaves of black and
white ivory keys, running the
chromatic scale up to &c" in the
treble clef. He had gnawed away
the mahogany pa mel in front,
masticating felt hampers and ham
mers by the dozen, wrecking the
melodiors "insides" of the instru.
ment. Steamboat Bill, stocking a
b oiler twenty feet away, said the
mule must must have had his feet

Smile Counts.

Every one likes to see a smiling
face and to smile becominsly enc
must cultivate a cheerful and sympa-
thetic condition Of mind. The face
wreathed in smiles Is like a perpetual
sunshine in a house. 1t is Irresistible
and conquers all hearts. A smiling
mouth loses half its charms II the
eyes do not correspond; for the eyes
are the windows of the soul, and the
smile that lies only about the lips
soon dies away. leaving an Indifferent
spirit to survey and chill the world.
Cultivate the art Of smiling not with
your lips, but with your eyes. Every
one can have laughing eyes. They
are not a matter Of inheritance. nor
can they be acquired with the aid OF
the masseuse and the professional
beauty specialist. Love Is great
transformer The sternest features
may be softened. the hardest natures
humanized by love.

TIRED OF CONVICT LIFE

George Jim, and Frank White
Piute Indians, tired of the life at
the convict road camp about five
miles south of Reno, and took their
departure about o'clock Thurs
day night. The absence of the two
prisoners was discovered shortly
afterward and the alarm was
spread without loss Of time.
Warden Ray Baker was in Reno
when he received word of the
escape and FASTENED to the camp.
No trace Of the Indians could be
secured and it was impo ssible to
determine the direction they took
to gain their liberty. All the
avenues of escape were; closely
guarded an hour after the de.
parture of the convIcts and the two
Indians may be capture! without
delay.
White is serving a 14-year term
upon conviction in the Lyon
county district court of assault
with intent to commit rape. He
was received at the State prison
on August 16, 1909.
George Jim was sentenced to
9 years for murder committed in
Reno. Jim killed another Indian
in small cabin in the rear OF
Dan O'Keefe's saloon on Virginia
and Third treets. The killing was
done with an axe, the murdered
man heing literally chopped ts
pieces. Jim was received at the
prison on August 2, 1910.

Caesar and tho Empire.

The reason why the Roman en-
pire succeeded the republic" was that
there was felt to be an urgent need OF
a strong central power. For many
years the republic mad been desolated
and the cry Of the whole people was
for peace-peace almost at any price.
Now. peace could be secured only by
the ascendancy of a single man, rul-
ing with absolute and irresistible
sway. SO the people acquiesced in the
change. They even hailed It with Joy.
A few patriots like Brutus and Cato
gave up in despair. but most men
were pleased with the revolution
which made Caesar supreme. Not
that they were monarchistic at heart,
but that after the devastating strife
they wanted peace, even though 1t be
at the sacrifice of some OF their liber-
ties. -

ates have selected the site for Ne

for conducting the exhibit. The
last legislature in it's extravaganza
appropriated $l5O.OOO for this
purpose, but Governor Oddie
vetoed the bill. Had he approved
the measure. it is more than
probable that the money would be
in the pockets of tax eaters by
this time. Former expositions
have proved useless and expensive
luxuries for Nevada, and we wager
the prediction that the Panama
exposition will prove no except IN
to the rule.

Griswold returned from Illinois

for the South Fork Creamery COM
pany. The cows have records as
good mixers. We congratulate
South Fork on its enterprise. They
started with sc head, but two of
the cows caught cold at Evanston,
w, oming, and died on the wsy

cost per head of the cattle il Elko
is $8l.17s.
Carson's population is about
300 and it has Fl saloons. Elko
has in the neighborhood of 1000
people and has at least Is places
where liquor is retailed over the
bar. Carson's mayor wants the
saloon license increased with the
view Of getting rid of some of the
saloons. AS Elko is not an incor-
porated town, its people can take
no steps in wedding out the
saloons. If the next legislature is
composed of the right kind of
material. it will take hold of the
liquor question and pass a more
restrictive law than the state now
has. Unless something is done
soon to regulate the liquor traffic
in this State, move will be made
toward prohibition.

hlloulng for the 3-Cornered handi-
cap, and the further handicap--muCh
greater in American politics even than
it would be in British-that he had
only an extemporized organization
barely three months old, Mr.. Roose-
velts performance was wonderful
one.
He carried such great states as Hi
nois and Pcnnyslvan,a outright. and
secured fifth of the electoral college.
Had the Republican party's con
venton adopted him instead Of Mr..
TAFT he would pretty evidently have
got in: and the miserable showing
made by the outgoing President, who
only polled few OF the most insignif-
cant states bears out all that WAS said
by the RooscVeltitcs about his Candi-
daturc being i6isted on the party a.
gainst the wish OF the great majority
OF Republicans.
incidentally, it also suggests how
small the conservative" vote in the
United States must now be : though
probably many conservatives supported
! Doctor Wilson in the belief that Mr..
| Tait had no chance. His e'ection to
the presidency four years a 90, which
was received at the time with universal
favor, has proved one Of the most
unqualified disasters tha. ever belell
his party reflection which Doctor
Wilson, as in his turn he enters the
White House untried amid very
similar enConiums, will perhaps pom
der and digest.
The sweeping victory of ..r. Roose-
welt over MIR. Taft means, presumably,
that the Progressive party will 60 on,
and may reabsorb in its victorious
ranks the relics OF the official Republic
cans. In any case the party will be
strong enough in the Senate and Con-
grcSS to get a hearing, and will have
opportunities OF making the running

keen dissatisfaction with things a

tions under which they live; that a
