Willis J.. Stinson was born in
North Carolina about 1856. When
a young boy he accompanied his
parents to a small hamlet in Mis-
souri,. When about Is years old he
learned t~elegraphy and worked as an
operator. His promotion was quite
rapid. He was made chief dis
patcher for the Southern Pacific
Railway at Sparks, Nevada, Ia years
ago; later, train master and assist
ant superintendent. During the
box car blockade caused by the
earthquake at San Francisco in 1906,
he, with the assistance of j. F.
Shaughnessey, then superintendent
at Sparks for the S. P, and now of
the Nevada Railway Commission,
were highly commended by the
higher officials for their executive
ability in clearing their respective
division of surplus cars, Mr.. Stin-
son was nominated and elected
Mayor of Sparks in the Fall of 1910
with a greater majority than any
nominee had ever received. He was
urged to enter the race the following
term, but refused.
Mr.. Stinson is survived by his
widow and two sons, who have
grown to manhood in Sparks. The
eldest, Brad, is agent for the S. P.
Company at Iron Point, Nevada, and
Rex, who is considered the best train
dispatcher on the S. P. system, is To-
Gated with the S. P. at FL Paso,
Texas. Both sons are with their
mother at Sparks during her sad
bereavement.

CIVILIZATION.

Civilization is so general In Its
nature that it can scarcely be
seized, SO complicated that II
can scarcely be unrn, eled, so
hidden as to be scarcely discern
ible. The difficulty of describing
it, of recounting its histery, is
apparent and acknowledged, but
its existence, its worthiness to
lie described and to be recount
ed, are not less certain and man
ifest. Then. respecting civiliza-
ton, what number OF problems
remain to be solved. II may be
asked, it is even now disputed.
whether civilization is a good or
an evil One party deeries It as
teeming with mischief to man.
while another laudS 1t rs the
means by which he will attain
his highest dignity and excel
Ience. Again it is asked whetll-
er this fact is universal; wheth-
er there is asgeneral civilization
of the whole human race,
course for humanity to run. a
destiny for it to accomplish;
whether nations have not trans
mitted from age to age some
thing to their successors which
is never lost, but which grows
and continues as Il common
stock, and will thus be carried
on to the end of all things.
