CHAMP CLARKS PROPHECY

Speaker Clark, himself a candi
date for the democratic presi.
dental nominal ion, recently issued
statement commenting upon
Roosevelt's candidacy for the re.
publican nomination. The speak
er's comments were phrased in
characteristic language and follow
There are some peculiar and
interesting facts in the republican
imbroglio. The big wigs appear
to have forgotten historical facts
or to scorn them. Many persons
we're amazed when the republ1c can
national committee fixed their
convention for the 9Th of June,
the anniversary of Waterloo. Now
comes Colonel Roosevelt. and
February 25th, the anniversary Of
the day when Napoleon escaped
from Elba. No doubt the result
in November will complete the
historical parallel by sending not
only the colonel, but the whole
republican party, to st. Helena, q
consummation de1 outly to be
wished. This year all things work
together for the success of the
democrats and the good of the
country"

Good and Bad Composition,

A writer in the London Daily Chron-
icle has revived the old dispute as to
the finest line in English poetry. He
quotes Prof. Churton Collins as Civ
ing the palm to a line in Swinburne's
Tristan and Iseult," the line that
says: And all their past came wall
ing in the wind" Certainly that is
great line, but the real difficulty, says
the Chronicle scribe, is to find the
worst line rather than the best. And
then he tells us Of a contest between
Tennyson and FitzGerald as to who
could write the weakest imaginable
Wordsworthian line. They succeeded
in producing: "A Mr.. Wilkinson,
clergyman" FitzGerald and Tennyson
each claimed this fine effort and the
point is still undecided. Can any one
else do better than this?

A new INDUSTRY

G. W. Carly, an experienced
cigar maker, has opened a factory
in the Dotta building. He came
here on January 25th, and looked
over the field and concluded that
Elko offered a good field for his
business. He employs four people
and is making as his leader Ell
Processo De Cuba in three sizes,
also SeIlu Del Rey, a domestic
cigar. All his cigars are made of the
choicest stock. He was formerly
in business in Humboldt county.
After disposing Of his business
there he canvassed other locations
and concluded that EIko was the
best field for his factory. At his
request, the Elko papers, made no
mention of his factory until it was
in operation.
He is meeting with good success
as his goods are all he represent,
them to be. He is ready to fill
orders. by mail or otherwise.
Orders large or small, will be
appreciated. His cigars all bear
the Union label. The public il

and see how the goods are made.
Mr.. Carly will bring his family

finger. foot, arm or leg in an effort to
relieve her poverty, a woman. whose
name was not divulged, living in
Govans, has written to the physicians
of Franklin Square hospital with an
unusual and pathetic appeal for tinan-
cial assistance.
The letter conveys, say the physi-
clans, a sad story of much suffering
as the result of poverty by woman
who was once in good circumstances,
but who has recently been reduced to
abject restitution. She named no
specific price for her sacrifice, accord
ing to the doctors. but asked for an

THE LURE OF TREASURE

Once more there has bsen =
revival Of the enterprise that
offers visions Of enrichiny the men
who can save the treasure Of a
wrecked Spanish galleon. And
again lit il the ancient Floreneia
lying off the coast Of Scotland in
Tobormory bay.
This ship was one of the Spanish
armada that went down to establish
English supremacy of the seas in
the days of Queen Elizabeth. It is
tradition that the Florencia was
the paymaster's galleon and that
all the money for soldiers and
sailors was carried in the strong
boxes on board. When the armada
was dispersed and sought flight
around the northern tips of the
British isles only to find destruc-
tion in the treach0rous currents,
the Florencia sank off the lands of
the Duke of Argyll. Efforts we're
made to secure the treasure, but
the strong set of the tide and the
uncertainty of the weather de-
feated all attempts. Sovereigns
of Britain have listened GENEROUSLY
to the stories of sunken wealth,
and Charles II. and James II. took
steps to claim the right of salvage.
Lawsuits we're brought to deprive
the Argyll family of jurisdiction,
but they failed. Runner had it
that 100000 ducats awaited as
reward of some one who could
plan way to rescue the treasure.
Modern engineering has essayed
the task, but has failed. The
wreck is buried in eight feet of
sand under turbulent water and
the proposition is forbidding. But
the Duke Of Argyll has recently
leased the right of salvage to a
new company and pretentious
machinery has been installed to
clear the wreck for the divers to
explore.
Probably they will keep the at
business until some way the buried
gold will be brought to light. But
when the time comes it will
probably be found that the account
of more than three centuries is sin
red ink. 1t is likely that more
money has been spent in the search
than will be realized by the sue
cessful explorer. But it has been
profitable business, no doubt, for
the Argylls who have rented the
right to dig, and the inventory may
spoil comfortable graft

COUNTING THE COST

What remains of the $4,000
voted by the extra session for
legislative salaries, mileage and
other fixed expenses will be equalled
by costs incurred along other
lines, such as printing, the twenty
per" and the $500 that was voted
for cleaning the cuspidors after
the session.
Fifteen thousand dollars is
seven and one-half per cent inter-
est on 100000. which added to
the four per cent to be paid to the
school fund, makes the
money borrowed by the state
rather costly.
1t must also be taken into con-
sideration that the bulk of this
eleven and one-half per cent in
terest has been paid by the state
in advance of receiving the princi-
pal, which makes the rate still
higher. ...... ..
However, there is one satisfac-
ton, considerable amount of this
money was spent in a good cause.
A number of members were kept
in the straight and narrow path
while at Carson City by having
their wives sit beside them during
the session and drawing a per
diem as attaches for sitting there.
By the way, it will be interest
ing to note if the various deputies
and clerks in the state Offices, who
also officiated as attaches, will draw
double pay for that time. They
undoubtedly will.
An assemblyman from Nye
county made discovery that it cost
the state $40 4 line for enrolling
the bills. A room full of clerks
received six days pay and the
product of their toll appeared on
single sheet of paper.
The senate was employed less
than two hours in transactin9 all
the business for which the legis.
lature was convened. 1t was
engaged for five days and q frac-
ton in the pleasing pastime of
batting the governor at the ex.
pepse of the taxpayers. The
house frittered away an equal
amount of time in tossing person
aities back and forth. ..

Gazette.
The Gazette's str ctures on the
senate are hardly fair. According
to reports the senate wasted no
time in doing the work it was
asked to do by Governor Oddie.
If while waiting for the republi-
can assembly to do its work. the
senators INDUCED in hot air it was
because they had nothing else to
do. The Gazette should lay aside
it's partisanship and put the blame
where it belongs-on the re-
publican assembly.

A. c. PRATT

A. c. Pratt, ex-surveyor general
of Nevada died at his home in
Carson Thursday afternoon. The
Carson Appeal in commenting on
his death says:
This community was startled
this afternoon when it was
announced that A. c. Pratt, one
Of the best known men of this
section had died at his home in the
northern part Of the city. Few
knew that he was dangerously i'll
and his death came as a shock.
A few days ago Mr.. Pratt was
taken i'll with bowel trouble which
later was determined to he
stragulation. From this he died.
Everything possible was done to
relieve him and restore him to
health, it was unavailing.
A. e. Pratt has occupied very
active life. Early in life he
moved to California and later to
Nevada. During his long resi-
dence here he occupied places in
public life, having been elected
Surveyor General and has acted as
advisor in many capacities in and
about the Capitol Building.
For number of years he con-
Quoted the Genoa Courier and also
a paper in the boom days in Alpiu g
County. His knowledge was wide
and varied.
A. c. Pratt was a man who
never attended school in his life,
yet he mastered many vocations
that are believed to require the
finest training. He was an expert
telegraph operator. He con-
structed the first telegraph line
to Bodie when it was booming.
He was regarded as one of the
hest surveyors in the state, aud his
map work was one of art. He was
an expert printer and while work
ing at that trade introduced many
novelties in his work that are
seldom seen or used by even the
best printers.
Che data that he gathered
during his life was of vast interest
and value. There was hardly a
section of the state but that he
had trod as surveyor or invest
igator. He had a large knowledge
of mineral and was a competent
assayer. His diversified calling
always kept him busy in this
world and he was a man of
untiring energy. His death
removes one of the real useful
men of Nevada.
A. c. Pratt was native of
T exas, where he was born 81 years
ago. His life has been one of
fortune and misfortune He leaves
a former wife, son and a
daughter, all living in California.
1t is with deep regret that the
death of "a. c." as he was best
known, is recorded. The flag on
the Capitol building is dying at
half mast out of respect to his
memory.
