THE ORIENTAL MENAC

Over twenty years ago a al was waged against TIT Shnese IN
Ormsbv county and everybody resolved not to trade with them. As
a result they left Ormsby county, apparently for good. But the Chi
ncse ar, q patient people and now there is a large Chinese store on
Main street and a Japanese establishment along side of it. If it did
no. receive the patronage of the white citizens of Carson it would
not be there.
Every dollar paid into these stores goes back to the Orient, after
deducting the cost OF living, which is very little.
If these stores are allowed to become rooted here they will
branch out into other lines of business. just TO- it is merely dry
goods and such things as women wear, but it will soon be groceries
and hardware and every other line Now is the time for Carson
citizens to consider these things.
California has awakened to the danger of Oriental competition
in business and has been obliged to take drastic Measure to protect
her citizens. If the citizens Of Nevada go about it right they a
protect themselves. If we decline to trade with them for a few
months they will seek business elsewhere. In the old days the Chi
ncse moved out OF Carson simply because they could find no one to
trade with them. If they had not received encouragement from our
citizens lately they would not be back again.

that is worth reading. Some of his ideas are Ill right M some are
not. -.
His fear that after the San Francisco exposition the state VAL
be ver rn with thieves and begsars is not weh founded he seems
to base his calculations on the fact that after the Jefferes-Johnsoh
prize fight the county of Washoe was overrun with tramps.
lust why he places a worlds exposition, the greatest tn world
has seen, in the same category with a prize fight is 10 apparent.
He argues that the money appropriated by the legislature Is be-
ing given to California.
He seems 10 overlook the fact that during the year 1918 eVGa
million; of people will pass through Nevada and that many OF them
will seek homes here. II eve there wa a opportunity to exploit
Nevada the opportunity will present itself in 1915 and 1t would oe
worse than folly to throw that opportunity away.
The people who pass through the state that year VIII drop on
the way more money than has been appropriated by the legislature.
The opening of a waterway ia Panama between NJ Atlantic
and Pacific oceans is the greatest engineering achievement the world
hs ever been called upon to witness. After the canal is in operation
the reduction in the cost of transcontinental freight viii be n I'M
mediate result and Nevada will be materially benefited. The saving
of freights to the Nevada shippers will be more each year than the
legislative appropriation to have Nevada represented at tn expo
ston.
To have Nevada not represented at the exposition, with every
other state in the Union there, would give us a black eye which n 20
true Saeebrusher could contemplate with pride.

that the ring a purchased by his wife and va not a necessity of
life"
1t being shown that he had worn the ring for several months
as her Gift he declined to return it for Sentimental and other rea-
sons. Judge Graham then proceeded to read the medical blk a lee
fwe on his defense, saying that he belonged to the "near aristoc-
racy" class and that such people were very numerous in San Fran
cisco who put on airs and dress we'll and live we'll by running credit
all over town and never paying for anything if they could help it.
He referred to the defendant a s. worse than al out and u crook.

HOW WELL. DOES
POWER FARMING Paw


A large number Of gas tractors and
steam breaking rigs will be sold this
spring. Tue Independent had some.
thing to say on this subject last week.
Just now, we are engaged in securing
data which will prove Of interest "a
our readers who contemplate engag-
ing in power farming. The indie
pendent doesn't want to be under.
stood AZ being against power farming
at all. for we believe that under the
proper conditions It Is just the thing.
1t is here to stay and we might add,
80 is the horse. We are convinced OF
one thing. and that is that it Is not
good business to mortgage your farm
to buy the best traction engine that
was ever made. In nine time out
OF ten, the farmer who thus mort.
Cages his land, will not only lose wha,
he puts into his outfit, but the land
besides. Statistics will bear us out
in this statement. We talked with
two farmers last week. who own gas
tractors. Both are "big" farmers.
One was satisfied and the other was
not. The farmer who wasn't lives
near Des Laos and he owns q section
OF land. He said: Il bought a gas
tractor three years ago. It cost me
$1,000 and would have been better
off had l invested in twelve good
trood mares, which could have got
ten for that price. l could have
raised six or seven fine colts every
year and think what the investment
would have meant by now. Instead
my engine is costing me large
amount for repairs"
The Independent would like to re-
ceive reports from other farmers,
those who have tried them out Well
be glad to publish them, whether they
be favorable or unfavorable to pow
er farming.

which they were treated last week at

convention. Minot spent several hun.
dred dollars in these events. besides
the o.e. chants gave several hundred
dols worth Of valuable premiums,
besides considerable cash. No ad-
mission to the fair was charged, TO
entrance fee charged for any exhibit
and farmers who did not care to CON-
pete were given space where they
could display the products they had
for sale. The mid.wintcr fair was a
