Four children-t think of it the moral and physical con- dition of children born of such parents. The mother married at thirteen. and says that her mother sanctioned the step. To me it is appalling.

 Poor girl, Gertrude, l would yet do anytl ing l could for her except take her in my home with the worst, most vicious temper ever knew.

PROSPERITY VS.. ADVERSELY.

Yes, it is alfred easy to smile and bubble over
with good cheer when everything is coming your
way When a man is in easy circumstance he can
pay up promptly; he can set 'em up and even get
gay if he to- but then is not the time to pass
judgment upon him. for anybody can be a good fell
low on easy money, and can look the world square
ly in the face and never bat eye. But it is diff
erent when fellow is on his uppers and everything
he touches turns rust It's pretty hard for him to
smile when he walks down the street and every
other man he meets shoves bill in his face which
he wants to pay but can't; when every man who
owes him dollar gets broke, stands him off or
leaves town. The true test of the man does not
come when he is riding cushioned seat on the
top wave OF prosperity and the gentle breezes are
waiting soft strains OF music to his and sweet
incense to his nostrs. Any kind of shoe-string
sport can smile then. Wait until you get into the
mud knce-deep with heavy upon your neck.

PRICES ARE RISING.

year or so ago. when there a court order
made to dissolve the Standard Oil trust, the Times
made mention OF the fact the effect that with the
dissolution would come the organization OF numer
Gus smaller companies, and that this would mean
more expense to the Standard Oil, which expense
would eventually come out OF the pockets OF the
people Shortly after the dissolution OF the Stand
ard Oil about thirty companies were organized
This did not mean that the Standard Oil would be
at thirty times the expense to run its numerous
concerns but it did mean that it would be at consd
cradle expense. Consequently the price OF oil
and all the other biproducts OF the company raised
There has also been quite a sharp rise i'll the price
of beef pork bacon. lard etc. since the dismissal OF
the suits against the packers This is not because
there will be any more heads to the packing bust
ness. but simply shows how the packers go about
collecting the expenses of the suit against them.
The consumer always has to pay the freight. 1t

ARBOR DAY.

Elsewhere in this sue will be found the proc
loth-next Friday-as Arbor Day. This is day
that should receive particular attention by the peo
pie of the State of Nevada and the residents OF
Yerngton in particular. There is nothing that
beauties place more than trees and shrubbery
and there will be why our little city can
not be made to bloom like a this spring and
summer Tor there will be ample supply OF water
to give every shrub planted sufficient amount OF
water to assure a good growth 1t IS the intention
OF the council plant number OF trees around the
water tank and building and make the place look
as attractive possible and it is duty that every
good citizen with any home pride about him owes
beautify his place of residence. The cost of such
work is great and the exercise that you will get
in looking after the things planted will do you more
good than any other recreation you could take. BY
doing these things you will not only make your own
place more attractive but the city be noted for
its gardens and lawns and in few years will be
so beautiful that it will be admired by every out
slider who visits us This will be of the greatest
advertisements that the city could possibly have
and would no doubt, be the of bringing not
a few among us to make their homes With our
court house. high school and new grammar school
Yerngton will be very attractive little city i'll
very short time. Don't fail to pay considerable at
tention to Arbor Day-next Friday.

THE RED FLAG.

Federal Judge e. H. IIanford, at Seattle, Wash
ington, on Tuesday of this week, predicted that
there will be conflict in the distant future be
tween adherents of the red flag and those supporting
the stars and stripes. The prediction was made
when two applicants appeared for naturalization.
The last step in completing your citizenship
said the court, will be in taking the oath of al
leeance to the constitution of the United States.
and in taking that you must pledge loyalty to the
government. There recently has been procession
here behind red flag and many OF the marchers
were naturalized citizens The time is coming when
there will be conflict between adherents of that
bloody red flag and the emblem OF the American
government.

INDIA BOARDING GOLD.

Moreton Frewen NJ F., recently gave to the
| london correspondent Of the New York Times an
interview the question OF the great
drain Of gold to India which is going and which
he described as a matter OF the very first importance
to America
The position is this said Mr. Frewen. "The
government of India in 1910 imposed duty OF
cents all silver bullion imported into
India. The Importation of silver previously tor
some years averaged 100000 to o0OOO0OO ounces
The result OF this high silver duty seemed
discourage importation, and the boarding OF sill
yer by natives, and to throw the whole demand OF
India for boarding purposes upon the other metal
gold
The position is OF great and growing dan
ger. The drain OF gold to India at the present time
threatens the most serious consequences in the
money markets of the western world. Whereas the
importation OF gold into India before the new and
high silver duties didn't exceed, year with
another 100000 serng the importation OF gold
last year into India 920.0O000O and for
the first eleven weeks of this year at the rate OF
nearly million sovereipns week.
The government at Calcutta has applied
the secretary OF for India for permission to
the coinage in India of 10rupee gold
pieces, thus offering to natives, through the IN
Vulnerable bazaars throughout India, means OF
boarding in the most convenient form Such mint
age would make gold for the purposes of boarding,
accessible to 5000000O0 people
Should the government consent to this pro-
posal the hemorrhage of gold to India would
further threaten western finance. 1t seems to me
of the very first importance that organized
the part OF the great western hnan-
cal CenterS should be addressed to the government
here
"The present movement OF gold to India IS on
such scale that when the gold required Tor arts
and manufactures has been deducted, comparatively
little OF the present immense supply of gold from
the mines is left for American or European curren-
ces We shall revert to conditions in the sos.
Mr. Frewen, on being asked what steps ii was
to take i'll view OF the serious situation
thus foreshadowed said that probably deputation
would wait the secretary OF state for India dur
ing the next few days and il was hoped that Arthur
Balfour would head the deputation.
The preoccupations of the public mind at the
present such that it will be easy task
to organize an effective deputation. What is re
CURED is a royal commission to report on the whole
subject OF the Indian currency mudde.
The present action of the government OF India
has discouraged the importation OF silver, and
thereby weakens exchange with China On the
other hand, it must throw increasing strain upon
the Bank of England and other western gold re-
serves, by expelling gold greatly as to mperil
that universal gold standard now obtaining in the
Occident The latest Indian experiment must in
yove dangerous REIMBURSEMENT of rate OF

country. To mind it is the best thing he ha
done since the trouble in Mexico started. The fea-
OF some that this action will make the insur-

less. They will not be near so anxious to up

.GRAFT0 IS
SWEPT BY FIRE
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH
OF PROPERTY DESTROYED.
PUMP WORKS AND THREE
DWELLINGS CONSUMED.

Yesterday the sister city Of Grafton
suffered most severely from fierce
Iy blazing fire, in which the old pump
factory or manufacturing plant of the
Grafton Wood Working Company,
composed of many of the citizens Of
that city, was burned to the ground,
the fire spreading to the residence Of
the widow Graham, and then to the
home OF Charles Thayer across the
street on Maple avenue from the
pump factory. The home OF Mr..
Thayer was saved after hard fight
by the volunteer firemen, while the
home OF the widow Graham was en-
tlrely destroyed. her furniture, how
ever, being saved by the aid of the
iremen.
The fire Was Of mysterious origin
1t not being known how the flames
started. but many think perhaps from
sparks from passing engines on the
D. & o. r. r., or perhaps from a pipe
or cigarette in the hands of hobos
who were spending the night in the
building, as the building is located
directly on the railroad.
The home OF zen MiIle:, Karl Bev-
erlin and many adjacent homes were
threatened by the flames, and when
the report Went out that the water
supply was giving out, the authorities
thought that the whole of West Graf
ton. or at least the choice residential
section and the business district would
be burned.
The homes Of John I. McGraw,
cilas. Durbin, Dr. Warder and Charles
Keefer, as well us the home Of Merle
Watkins would have been destroyed
If tEat section had burned.
Miss Gail Durbin, the eldest daugh-
ter OF Charles Durbin, was in this city
last evening attendant upon the we'd
ding Of Mr.. Charles Hood and Miss
Mary Raymond, and knew nothing Of
the fire until this morning.
While Grafton has hSse wagons and
paid drivers who are stationed at their
fire stations AT all times, the fire
corps is composed Of volunteers. and
they did splendid work during the
night. many OF them being encrusted
from head to toes with ice, caused by
the spray from the hose.
The loss will amount to $lOO,OOO.OO.
