Mr.. Carson Merchant, Please
Give This Your Attention

One day this week a prominent mining man who is operating
in this section walked into the office of the manager of the Nina
Mercantile company with a list Of goods with prices on them frOn
a San Francisco mail order house. He said to Mr.. Smmerfield.
II saw by your ad that you are willing to meet mail order COM
petition. Here is list of goods with prices from a mail order
house in San Francisco, with freight added. prefer to trade at
home IT you can give me prices anywhere near these. Of course
want you to make a profit and don't expect you to duplicate
these prices.' Taking til, list Mr.. Summerfield ran through it
and replied: This is easy. We meet these prices every day and
make a profit, too The der was filled, the man selected his
goods, knew exactly what - was getting and didn't have to wait
ten days to two weeks for the arrival Of his goods. Besides it
goes to show that the management is keeping it's word as adver-
tlsed in this paper and is not afraid of the ''so-called' cheap prices
OF mail order concerns. This is not an ad for the Nina Mercantile
company. but it is used to show that Nina has a live. wideawake
lot of business firms all of whom believe in advertising and make
good their word. We re proud Of all Of them. They realize
that advertising is the life of a newspaper and also advertise be,
cause they know it brings trade. Western Nevada Miner is proud
OF the fact that while Nina is the very smallest town in the state
that possesses a newspaper its business men are the most hustline.

see any 'honer IN these columns about mossbacks and non-advcr-

general merchandise stores, hotels and saloons represented in
these columns. That s why We are able to publish the best paper
in the state-Western Nevada Miner.

NOVEMBER Fl, 1913
TO THE VICTOR, ETC.

Anent the appointment of a Democratic postmaster at Gard
nerville, over which some individual in that section rants and gives
publicity to his views in the Reno Gazette, and winch were repro
duced in the Appeal of yesterday, there is nothing at all surprising
in it. The Gardnervile postmastership is undoubtedly a pretty
good billet, this is a Democratic year, a Democratic president Is
in the White House, and when the senators from Nevada went
to him and asked for the appointment Of one OF their supporters
for the position, Mr.. President got busy and gave it to them. And
by the way, a better appointment than that of Mr.. Todd could
not have been made, and he was really and truly deserving OF It,,
though not an applicant. He has been a long tried and consistent
Democrat, one of those it is a pleasure to meet and do business
with, and the Appeal can say, without reserve, that he will give
the people of Gardnervlle good service.
But why there should be any protest from the Republicans
is a problem beyond the ken of the Appeal. The Democrats Or
the United States worked awfuly hard for the success OF their
ticket in last falls elections, and being successful they naturally
wanted the emoluments in the shape of jobs that went with their
victory. Hasn't that been Republican doctrine? When Cleve-
land and the rest of the Democrats went out of business in the
spring of 1897, sixteen years ago, did the Republicans hold back
and continue in the offices they occupied! They did exactly what
the Democrats are doing now. They We're hungry for pie and they
left no stone unturned until they got it. That's the way of poll
ties; always has been and always will be.

THE BIG EXPOSlTIONS

Although the big expostions to be held in California in 1915
are more than a year away, Nevada is already beginning to feel
IA benefit from them.
offering a higher price than ever before and they find sellers
holding for higher figures and IA shortage in the beef supply all
over the coast.
They reason that in 1915 many millions of people will visit
this coast that have never been here before and they will have
to be fed beef, butter, flour and poultry for a starter and many
more things thrown in. Nevada will supply a great deal of the
beef and mutton for the exposition. In fact, the extra demand
sagebrush state will find a ready market in San Francisco and San
Diego at the highest figures ever reached for the last quarter Of
a century.
In fact, it is doubtful if Nevada can any more than supply
the demand of the travelling public as it passes through here on
its way to California. 1t is estimated that twenty millions Of
people will come from all parts of the world to visit San Fran
cisco and nearly half as many will take in San Diego. The San
Francisco exposition will rn nine months and the San Diego
one year. San Diego depends much upon the patronage of the
great South American republics while San Francisco will enter
tain the world.
San Diego will draw a great deal upon southern Nevada for
supplies and if these two great shows do not enrich Nevada to an
extent heretofore undreamed of then all signs go for nought.
1t will be a banner year for everyone who produces anything
for human consumption. The dairy men are already beginning
command $5 and $50 now and are hard to get. There will not
be a mich cow of any grade in the state next year that can be
had even at those figures. There is a stiffening of prices every
where and Nevada will benefit at least a million dollars by those
two exposihons.

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS

When the first message was flashed over the Atlantic ocean
by a cable reaching along the bottom of the sea for thousands of
miles it took the people Of the country some time to realize that
we could thus exchange the babble Of two hemispheres. This vas
many decades ago and the triupmh of the Field cable has ceased to
be a novelty.
Now comes the news that IA MarcOni wireless message has
been flashed across the Atlantic and read from one shore to
another.
We are also informed that a German company is planning
a fleet OF aeroplanes to carry passengers across the Atlantic, and
expect to make the trip in sixty hours. Thew can compete in
prices with the ocean liners. 1t will not be MANY wears before

The next thing in order is the naming of a I. S. district
attorney to succeed Sam Plat, the present incumbent. For many
years Nevada was singQlarly unfortunate in the selections of her
L. S. attorneys. All shades of political opinions, however, agreed
that Plat has made an honest and efficient official and cleared
the office of much of the odium that was previously attached to
it. The Appeal hopes that the senator's in selecting his successor
will e. to it that the man who takes his place is equally honest
and efficient and we candidly admit that in order to do so a great
deal of care must be taken in the selection.

The railroads crossing the country are up against it in a
way. They have been making searching Investigations and found
that with their present equipments they cannot carry the crowds

the money to make the necessary improvements.

torneys are availing. Mewhlnney was re-
sentenced by Judge F. g. Loofbourow In

for arrest OF Judgment had been de-
MED.
Attorney Armstrong said later that he
would try another appeal TO the supreme

court denies second appeal he Will carry
the case to the United states supreme
court Meanwhile he will seek q commu-

from prolonged use of drugs when he
murdered Erickson.

interest. lie was led back to the county
jail with the same impa sslve indifference
upon his face that has been there since

done since his case first came before me"
