GOVERNOR PROCLA|MS
A COL0N|STS DAY
CALLS ON EASTERNERS
TO COME TO OREGON
Urges Capitalists Seeking Investments
tn Take Advantage OF Vast Oppor-
tunitics Astounding Within state.

Salem, Or, Feb. 16.-Governor
West has issued colonist day proc
lamation, and coming on the heels of
the circulars being issued by the
central labor council of Oregon, pic
turing oregon as a wilderness to be
summed, its optimistic view and
wholesome advice are timely. The
proclamation is call to those who
would come and achieve success from.
the bountiful resources of great
state. 1t is as follows:
"Oregon is waiting for colonists.
Her unclaimed acres need settlers.
Farms need to be peopled and clear
ed, orchards to be planted and culti-
waited, homes to be founded. The state
awaits investment and Industrious anu
well direct effort For this it offers
unbounded opportunity, prosperity
and success
City Man should Wait.
Oregon does not need the city
man, subsisting upon daily wage,
except as he may follow the institu-
ton of the factory, the workshop and
the business house, or the develop
ment and the cultivation of the
farm.
Oregon needs investors, active men
with active money and efficient ef-
fort. She needs energetic men to peo-
pie the vacant places and reap the
abundant products of a fruitful soil.
oregon needs rural development, men
who have the training, the capability,
the energy and the money to build
homes and achieve independence in
the country.
True prosperity demands that the
cities do not outstrip an5 over balance
the country. If We build up the coun
try districts. the cities will keep
abreast with their factories, mills,
shops and stores.
"It has been the custom in the past
to set aside a day to be known as
cUlonist day. at which time it has been
urged that all Oregon people write to
eastern friends, telling them of the
opportunities here and inviting them
to cast their lots with US. 1t is prop
er, as loyal and patriotic citizens of
oregon, for US to draw a true picture
of the state and its possibilities for
our eastern friends. for the truth
needs no establishment
February % the Day.
Now. therefore, I, Oswald West,
governor, by virture of the authority
in me vested, and in view of the fore
going premises. do hereby appoint
and proclaim Thursday, February %,
to be known as colonist day through
out the state of oregon, and 1 earnest
ly recommend that all the people on
this day write their friends and rel
| atives in other states showing to
them the great possibilities of Ore
gon for the farmer, the stockraiser,
the dairyman, the poultryman. the
fruitgrower-for all productive indus
ties-in order that those whom Ore
gon needs may be induced to join with
us in the upbuilding and the develop
ment of our magnificent state"

Rome.-Considerab Interest was
manifest over the promulgation of an
edict by Pope Plus ordering that all
cardinals and other dignitaries of
the church must refuse to attend So

Native and Ruby Silver

Three feet of ore, considered bet

opened up in the Mizpah Extension
property at a point about 1000 feet
southeast of the shaft. The find
was made on the 1O00-foot level in
region heretofore virgin, and ex-
tends the proven zone hundreds of
feet to the northeast of this camp.
The discovery was made several
days ago and since Superintendent
Lawry has been conducting the de-
velopment work with the idea of
determining the extent of the body.
The ledge was first opened up in
"a raise and after the body was
erosscut for some little distance,
raising was commenced. The ore

SENATOR NIXON
HAS BEEN FILED
ESTATE is EQUALLY DIVIDED
BETWEEN THE WIDOW AND

The will of the late Senator Geo.
S. Nixon has been filed for probate
in the district court at Reno, with
Platt & Gibbons, appearing as at
torneys for the estate The will
states that the estate of the late
senator is valued at more than
100000, but does not state the
actual amount. Heretofore F. M.
Lee has stated that the estate was
valued at more than $3.00O,O00.
The will provides that all of those
relatives of the deceased who have
heretofore been receiving monthly
income shall continue to receive the
amounts they have heretofore re-
ceived. 1t also provides a bequest
for each of the servants in the Nix
on household and provides that
the remainder of the estate shall
be divided equally between Mrs. Nix
on and Bertram Nixon. the only
child of the late senator.
1t is further provided in the will
that the estate left to Bertram
shall be placed in trust with the
Bank of Nevada Savings and Trust
company until he attains the age of
80 years when he shall receive the
money. 1t has been stated that
the income from this portion of the
estate will be in the neighborhood
of 100000 per year.
There is also a clause in the will
that the same rules in regard to its
management be carried out as far
as it is possible to do so. There
we're no charitable requests in the
document.

COMMISSIONERS
ATTEMPT TO PLACE
BAN ON CONFETTI
ORDER OF BOARD WILL NOT BE
OBEYED BY MERCHANTS
ACCORDING TO REPORT

Confetti has been placed under
the ban by the county commission
ers and will not make its appear
ance at the Fourth of July cele-
bration Although no official ac-
ton has been taken as vet with re-
gard to the throwing of the con-
fatti. il is expected that resolu-
ton will be adopted and placed
in the records of the commission
ers meetings before the date for
The celebration arrives
OBJECTIONS to the trowing of con-
fetti arose ever the practice OF
ee!ebrators picking and scraping
the paper scraps from the ground
after having been once used. In
securing the confetti from the
ground. dirt is also accumulated
and it is an easy matter to ruin
the wearing apparel OF whoever
happens to receive the second hand
donation
The commissioners will not al
low a fireworks display within the
business and residence portion of
the town. However, the big pyro-
technic display from the top of
Mount Oddie will be held as this
will be without the jurisdiction of
the county fathers.
Considerable comment was to be
heard this morning as to the action
of the commissioners and it was
stated that the board had no right
to place the so-called ban on con-
fetti throwing. The merchants,
who have placed orders for eonfet-
ii will not cancel the shipments
and declare they will sell the wares
as soon as they arrive.
II is believed that the order of
the commissioners will have no
weight with the public and that
confetti will be in evidence through
out the celebration. Efforts will
be made, however to prevent the
gathering of confetti from the
ground. after having once been
used

Superintendent Lawry has not de-
