TOnOpah to Exclude Japanese

A Tonopah, Nevada. dispatch says:
There have been during the past few
months 10 or more japanese located in
Tonopah. and most of them have en-.
gagged in various lines of business. The
matter has attracted attention. and steps
are being taken to stem the tide before
the influx becomes too great.
1t is stated that the officials will re.
fuse to grant business licenses to any
Orientals from this time forward, aud
it goes without saying that they will
not be permitted to engage in or con.
tinue in business in the city without
having city licenses. 1t is hoped this
move will at least keep any greater
number from coming in.

RAILROAD IS NEARING EUREKA
Now Expected to Reach Slough
Ten Miles From Eureka BY
March 18th

ing news this week when p. b.
Wallace, the engineer in charge
of construction work on the Eu
reka & Palisade Railroad, paid
US a visit last Wednesday night.
While here Mr. Wallace en-
tered into a contract with William
Zadow Of the Peoples Market to
supply the construction camp
that is expected to be established
at the slough, 10 miles north Of
Eureka, within the next few days.
To inquiries regarding when
it was expected a train would
reach Eureka, he stated within
the next three or four weeks prob
ably, and certainly by April l
unless very stormy weather or
unforeseen difficulties interviewed.
1t is now expected the grading
force will be at work north of
the slough in Diamond Valley
next week, but as it is under
stood a number of bridges and
open trestle work will be put in
for quite a distance on each side
of the slough, it will take sew
eral weeks to complete the work
at this point.
When the Eureka & Palisade
Railroad was built a number of
bridges and large culverts we're
put in along this stretch of road
in Diamond Valley to carry off
the food waters that come
through Devils Gate during the
Spring freshets, but as the vol
ume Of water that came through
the Gate during recent years was
apparently not sufficient to cause
washouts on the road with less
open work, as the timbers rotted
out and needed replacing, fills
were gradually put in until but
few places we're left for the water
to get through the long embank-
ment across Diamond Valley.
When the big food came two
years ago the few remaining out
lets could not begin to take care
OF the water that came bound
ing down the valley, and it grad
ually piled up against the long
grade embankment until it was
forced to give way, and long
stretches OF it went out for several
miles across the valley. AS the
present road is being especially
built to guard against food waters
a number of bridges and trestle-
work will be put in all through
Diamond Valley.
1t is learned that since the
railroad was completed to Black
burn early this week, unusually
good progress has been made.
The road is now reported com
pleted to Alpha Station, 45 miles
from Palisade and 80 miles from
Eureka. 1t is said the construc-
ton engine delivered a couple of
loads of material at Cedar Switch,
eight miles this side OF Alpha,
on Wednesday, and it is now ex-
pected that the road will be COM
pleted to the Slough, about 10
miles from Eureka, by March Is.
When the SENTINEL called up
its Palisade correspondent on the
phone yesterday, it was informed
there was no railroad news to re-
port from there this week as we
had all the construction people
at this end of the line now.

ments of States, and like the hog

from.
The people have enjoyed religious
liberties So long that they have for
gotten how the hand of God directed
Washington and all our fore-fathers
in the great struggle for independ-
ence, and gave them the victory, not
without plood-all for what?
For liberty. That all people since
that time might "sit under their

now we hear things different We
hear of one place, Chicago by name,

suffer prosecutions, for the time is
at hand when they will not be al

be brave, good soldiers Of the Cross
of Christ; for He will subdue every

he, Christ, not the Pope,) will come

arrayed against you, but dear sir,

rules the universe today that ruled
In the day of Gideon, and my faith
in this same God is so great that I
believe He will give you the victory
as He did Gideon when with but
few valiant men he put to route the
great host of Mideon. This is a day
of peril on land and sea-a day of
fads and fanatiCism, a day of great
danger to our religious institutions,
a day Of peril to our blood-bought
