A Friend Sends Out a Call
For Help.

To The Friends of Mr.. Watson
and the JeffersOnian Publishing Co.:
Let US not be unmindful of Mr.. Wat
son and our Publishing Co., what
peril they are in. l have reference
to his trial which is to take place in
Augusta next March. Don't, | beg of
you pass this by lightly, and say
there is nothing they can do to him,
or if they do, there is nothing [ can
do to help him. Let me tell you this
one thing, they ar going to leave no
stone unturned that will help to con-
Wet him, they are going to use the
power of this great government of
ours as far as they dare do it. Then
they will use the influence of their
societies, and last, all the money that
will be needed to carry their point,
for as little as you may think Of it,
a great deal depends on that case,
either way it goes.
If the Roman Catholics are sue
cessful, down will go all of our re-
form papers, and in a few years
there won't be a paper or book
printed and sent through the mails
without first being censured by
Roman Catholic. Do we Baptist
want that? Do we Methodists want
it? Do we free thinkers want it?
In fact, would anyone want it, ex-
cept bigOted Roman Catholic. Re
member your Bible is not their
Bible, they go through the mails.
Remember they oppose our free
school system because it tends to
enlighten the masses, something
they do not want. Ignorance and
superstition is their greatest bull
Wark.
Can l help in this matter, you ask.
OF course you can. You ask how.
Well | will tell you.
First, let every man, woman, boy
and girl, that has this cause at
heart, get some one to subscribe to
the paper or magazine, or both, that
will help. Then get every one you
can to take stock in the Company,
it's safe.
Second, I want to ask everybody
who reads this to get out and get up
q fund to help Mr.. Watson in his
trial. Remember that we are just
as much on trial as he is. We have
been giving him our sympathy, now
he needs our help, and We will be
less than true if we do not give it,
but every man, woman, boy and girl
can give something, if it is nothing
more than a nickle, dime or rs cents,

A Card to the Public

The following cards are self-ex-
planatory:
Carson City, Dec. "a, 1918.
HON. H. F. BARTINE, Chairman
Railway Commission, Carson City,
Nevada.
Dear Sir: Our attention having
been drawn to a complaint or crit
icism which was inserted in one OF
the daily papers alluding to the fact
that some one was about to make a
complaint against the Nevada Con-
solidated Telephone & Telegraph
company for allowing messages to
go to Bodie, California, over one
line in preference to another, the
former Of which lines charged a
higher rate than the other. and the
cause of the complaint being
groundless in so far as the Tele-
phone company is concerned, we
have concluded to draw your atten-
ton to the matter ourselves.
The complaint is being i~nstigated
by a rival company, and in view of
the fact that it is wholly unwar-
ranted and all of the messages sent
to Bodie, California. from Decem-
Der 9 to December y were sent by
w. w. Chatfield. these being the
messages complainded of and all

the messages that were sent by any
one, the within letter of Mr.. Chat
field we desire to file with your
commission in answer to any COM
plant that may be made by reason
of such charges. In further ans
wer we desire to state that it is I'M
material to the Nevada C%onsolidat-
ed Telephone & Telegraph company
which route its patrons may select
to send their messages, and that it
has no desire to send a message
over any line which may have a
higher rate than the other, unless
the party so sending it desires it SO
sent and requests the same to be
especially that way. Respectfully,
NEVADA CON-. T. & T. CO.,

Rich Ore Found
Beyond Tonopah

The Mohawk group, well named
after the big bonanza of Goldfield,
was located half a mile east of Han
napah November 3, 1913, by Jack
Clarks, who made one shipment
from a depth of 38 feet that Melted
$45 a ton for nine and one-half
tons.
Al Ward1e and Alex Mckenzie
have taken a lease on the group for
a period Of one year and think they
will make a second shipment be-
fore long. The distance from Tono-
pah is eighteen miles. The quartz
lies in porphyry and carries a very
rich strata of chloride of silver four
inches wide, lying in porphyry and
tale, of which they have only the
hanging wall. The ledge runs east
and west, the same as the Tonopah
formation, and as the ore is sill
cious, it is given a special rating by
the smelters, which class it as high
ly desirable. The high-grade streak
runs an average of $92 for eighteen
inches. The quartz carries small
gold values, with a silver content
running as high as 5000.
The leasers will sink to a depth
of so feet and then drive a cross
cut to begin stoping.-Bonanza.

Carson City, Dec. p, 1913
My attention having been called
to a complaint having been, or is
about to be made by the United
Farmers Telephone & Telegraph
company, to the Railway commits
sion. as a Public Service commits
sion, that the Nevada Consolidated
Telephone & Telegraph company,
of Carson City. Nevada, had charg-
ed me a higher rate for a message
from Carson City, Nevada, to Bodie,
California, by reason of routing
said message. from Carson City,
over the Yerington route, rather
than yer the United Farmers line
via. Gardnerville, and I knowing
that an injustice by said complaint
will be done the Nevada CONSOLIDATE
ed Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany, If the facts are not all known
in connection Herewith, | herewith
state that it was at my own request,
and after knowing that there were
two routes to Bodie. I demanded and
requested that my telephone mes
sage be Sent over the Yerington
route, from Carson City, than over
the other cute via Gardnerville,
and | preferred o pay the addition
al higher rate than to send it the
other way. Whatever complaint is
made must be made in face of these
facts to the messages which | sent
from Carson City, Nevada, to Bodie,
California, from December 9 to Dec

A. F. OF L. TACKLING BIG
ORGANIZATION PLANS.
Gigantic organization plans, to
take in the hundreds of thousands
of employees of the stock yards,
harvester trust and the steel
trust, were disclosed today by the
American Federation of Labor,
when John Williams of Pitts
burgh arrived in Chicago this
afternoon.
Williams is president of the
Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. He
will preside at a mass meeting to
be held tomorrow IN East Chi
cago.
The notice of the meeting was
the first information that organ
ization plans were definitely
afoot. Polish speaking organic
ers have, been circulating among
the foreign workers for months
stirring up sentiment for the
formation of unions. The great
est obstacle was the difference in
language among the employees.
More foreign-speaking organ
izers will be placed in the pack

The Summer School offers a splen-

that this subject will soon be added
to those required for second and
third grade certificates. Whether
this requirement is made or not it
is no more than just to your pupils
that you should prepare yourself to
teach it. .....
Mr.. Howell will give a series of
lectures on the subject during the

The grim reaper visited the home
of Benjamin F. Mcdaniel and wife,
Friday, May 18th, and bore away
the gentle spirit of Elizabeth Jane,
their only daughter, to the rest pre-
pared for the pure and the good.
She was born in Davis City, July
IA, 1865, and has been a resident OF
this county all her life. For time
she taught school but she was devot-
ed to her home and aided her moth
er in the care of large family. who

after long suffering. r. -. =. (
August FL, 1897, she took up her
cross to follow the Lamb of God, be-
ing baptized into the Saints church,
under the ministry of Elder Richard
S. Salyards, living the life of a
Christ follower, active in church and
Sunday school work. She leaves to
mourn their loss besides father and

Weather. Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending May rs, 1913
Des Moines, Iowa.
Another unfavorable week has
been added to the record of this be-
lated season. The average tempera-
ture was about degrees below, and
the rainfall was much in excess OF
the normal over the larger part OF
the state. The first half of the week
was especially unfavorable; it being
cool, cloudy and wet, but the lat
ter half was somewhat better, and
gave two days of sunshine. Farm
work was practically at stand
still until Friday, but corn planting
was rushed on Friday and Saturday.
Probably not more than 80 or IS
per cent of the crop has been plant
ed, and unless drier weather and
more favorable conditions come
soon the anticipated acreage OF corn
will be materially reduced. Much OF
the corn that is up is yellow, and
some of the later planting is re-
ported to be rotting in, the ground.
The cold wet and cloudy weather is
also detrimental to garden truck,
and is causing too rank 2 growth OF
oats, wheat and clover. Light frost
occurred in many localities on the
morning Of the 23rd, but no damage
was done, and the fruit prospects
are still promising.
