Tampa celebrated its 57th birthday
anniversary on Sunday. To common
crate this event the Tampa Tribune
issued it's mammoth Christmas edi-
ton on that date 1t contained sc
pages, and every page was replete
with splendid articles, illustrations
and magnificent advertisements. On
Monday afternoon the Tampa Times
got out its Christmas number, which
also did immense credit to Tampa
and to the Times. South Florida as
we'll as west Florida has every right
to be immensely proud of her daily
newspapers.

The express companies are to fight
the parcels post by competition. Rates
are to be cut, the number of employ
es increased and the most modern
equipment is to be installed. On very
small packages, such as would nat,I-
rally be sent by parcels post, the cut
is to be from 80 to so per cent or
even more. If the express companies
do this and continue to make a profit
it will cause the small shipper to
wonder how much money he has been
losing all these years through lack of
effective competition in the express
business.-Savannah News.

JUDGE QUICKER
IS MANDAMUSEO

The Pacific Reclamation COM
pany. against which the injunction
was secured by the Lovelock
water users, has taken the matter
to the state supreme court. Satur-
day an alternative writ of manda-
mus, issued by Chief Justice
Sweeney, was served here upon
Judge Quicker. The writ requires
the Judge to either fix q stay
bond in the water case or to APP
pear before the supreme court on
June 18th and show cause why he
has not done so. Presumably this
is the method decided upon by the
Pacific Reclamation company's
attorneys to get the case before
the supreme court. Judge Ducker,
it will be remembered, denied the
motion made by the eljoined corn.
pany TO fix stay bond pending an
appeal, his decision being on the
ground that there is no appeal
from an order granting s
temporary injunction Humboldt

Sneezing as an Omen.

The only attention we pay to q
Sneeze at the present day is to en-.
deavor to get rid of the chill which
causes 1t; but a sneeze in the days OF
old Greece wars a matter of great con.
Germ and import.
There was then a god Of sneezing,
and great undertakings would even
be abandoned If a man sneezed at an
inappropriate moment, the act being
looked upon as the oracle Of the god.
sneeze between midnight and
noon was looked upon as a fortunate
sign, but between noon and midnight
1t betokened great misfortune. To
sneeze to your right was lucky; to
the left unlucky. Two or four sneezes
were lucky, one or three very I'M
lucky and any undertaking in hand
should If possible be abandoned; more
than four sneeZes did not count.
There Is a saying in many parts Of
England today: "Once a wish, twice
a kiss, three times letter, four times
something better" If people sneezed
together it was good sign, particu-
larly II they happened to be discuss
ing business.

GASOLINE FURNACE EXPlOOES

About 9:30 o'clock this forenoon
Roy Jones who works in Fields
plumbing shop, just east of the
Clifton hotel, lit gasoline furnace
and, after it had started nicely,
he left it for few moments. While
he was away, the furnace exploded,
scattering the burning fluid
over the west END Of the shop. Mr..
Fields who was working in the
front part of the snop saw smoke
coming through the back room and
on investigating found the end of
the room IN blaze. He seized
quilt and beat out the flames as
much as he could but the blaze
finally reached a lot of sulphur
and its fumes drove him out.
While he was beating out the
flames Roy Jones rushed into the
LNNm and carried the gasoline
fWenace inc the yard. In doing so
his right hand and arm were
severely burned.
The fire bell rang and the hose
carts were soon on the ground and
the fire was soon extinguished.
The damage is very slight. This
is another narrow escape for Elko
from disastrous fire.

DEVELOPMENT OF
WORLD TRADE

A statement issued by the De.
partment of Commerce and Labor
shows that the international trade
for the world inceased from $2O,-
500. 900. 900, in 1901 to S35, $780,
100000 in 1911. These totals
represent the Interchange Of COM
nIodities among the nations not the
entire home production and con-
sumption, which would be vastly
larger. The exhibit shows an
enormous increase within rela-
lively short period. This is in
line with trend that has been
conspicuous since the beginning of
the latter half of the ninent,eth
century and has been steady gain
ing momentum. While the aggre-
gate value of commodities inter-
changed many have been augment
ed to some extent by the advance
in price of various articles it is
, also true that there has been a
reduction in the rates of some
products. The fact of importance
is that the nations are trading
with one another to far greater
extent than ever before and, there
is no fixing. the limit of such trans
actions in the future.
Many causes contribute to this
result. The inceasing extent tc
which the races are becoming
civilized and modernized repre-.
sents a powerful influence. The
opening of new territory me ans
additions to commerce. The
enterprise which leads the pro
ducers of country TO seek
markets. elsewhere is a powerful
factor. Germany is fair
example. Not so long ago the
Germans took a relatively small
part in dealings with othe,
countries. Today Germany sone O.
the largest exporters and import
ers, and is energetically pushing
trade in every direction. 1t il
gratifying to note that the United
States is holding its own in thi.
form of expansion and the present
fiscal year will probably record the
largest foreign trade in ou1
history. In common with other
nations the United States look.
forward to still more remarkable
accesslons to the commerce as 8
consequence of the opening of the
Panama canal, which cannot fail to
stimulate intercourse by all com.
mer:ial people.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications as they cannc
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
titutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iEfiamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamud
you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing t
an inf1amed condition e

D|ED FROM RUPTURED HEART

Coroner Lee J. Davis held an
inquest over the remains of J.
H. Kinkead this afternoon and
the evidence showed that Mr..
Kinkead came to his death from q
rupture of the left ventricle of the
heart, and that this rupture was
due to an injury received about
ten days ago while riding on a V.
& T. train between Carson and Vir.
ginia City. The evidence showed
that he was thrown heavily against
TIE back of seat and that this
caused a bruise on the heart which
finally weakened the heart so that
it hurst.
The evidence also showed that
the deceased was SO years of age
and was a native of Ohio. DIR.
Hartzell who performed the
autopsy, DR.. Pickard and DR..
Samuels, who were present at the
time of the autopsy testified and
all agreed that the death was due

NOMINATED WHAT WAS LEFT

Senator John Sharp Williams
tells the Washington Star that his
friend, private John Allen formerly
representing a Mississippi district
in congress-, seems perfectly
satisfied to give his personal atten-
ton exclusively to his personal
affairs around Tupelo and has
seemingly laid aside all political
ambition.
"He mixes a little in local
affairs for the benefit of his trends
and recently made one of the
shortest and best nominating
speeches on record.
An old friends of ours, a confed-
crate veteran who lost two legs
and one arm in battle, wanted a
small Office and asked Allen to
nominate him.
When the time came Allen with
a voice like a guitar said: Gentle
men of the convention. desire
to nominate all that's left of of my
Door old friend, John Smith.
Smith swept the convention.
