A WE AFFORD 1T

Certain newspapers in this state are tryng to have Nevada I'M
represented at the great Panama-Pacifc exposition. Every move that
these newspapers make is toward the beitnement and depreciation OF
the state. In the first place the amount involved is not s. a head for
each inhabnant, SC it would seem that this manufactured bugaboo i
disposed Of by this simple statement
But the main question is al Nevada, a sovereign state OF the
American Union, afford to be classcd as the only state to repuiiate
an obligation it took upon itself when the last legislature passed a
at by which it agreed to take part in the Panama Pacific exposition
and spend a suitable amount of money to make a respectable showing
o II that occasion?
This act had all the force and meaning of a contract with the ex-
position and as such cannot be repudiated without putting the state
of Nevada in the humiiatng position of a wecher, earning the scorn
and contempt of the whole nation.

observance OF an obligation. An individual who repudiates his obhga-
tons is held in deserved contempt by his fellow men The Appeal
believes that the honor of a state is as sacred as the honor of IN in
dividual and more so as it carries with it the honor of the whole pop

himself that he belongs in the sagebrush.

A fortune approxmateng $3NOONO was distributed by Reed B.

his clothing factory 1t Bmghamton, \. Y, "a burned during the

Last Friday afternoon a travelling
man who was spending some leisure
time in the club room in the Wright
block, alone, wandered about and no.
ticing the undertaking room in the
rear he entered to casually look about.
He had never seen the inside of a
casket without an occupant, and be.
ing curious to see how one looked, he
walked up to one and raised the lid.
To mis- horror he found corpse be-
meath his eyes
Shocked almost into helplessness
he dropped the cover and as fast as
his trembling legs would carry him he
got out of the room, down the stairs
and onto the street. He hurried to the
Eagles restaurant where he entered
with his face like chalk and his body
almost collapsed. 1t was long time
before he was able to go about his
business. The body which he came
upon so unexpectedly was that of
Dale Arlington which had just arrived
here by train.

Three powerful, shallow draft
