MAY SAVE THE MONEY

There 10 a rumnr circulating
around the city in political circles
that the cards have been shutfled
and there is to be a new deal in the
Pannma-Pacifc Fair insofar as Ne
vada is concerned and that there
will be no Nevada exhibit. The
majority Of the committee is scurry-
ing around trying to have a meet
ing called and end the matter. The
plan. if carried out. is to pay all
the Indebtedness SO tar accrued and
call the fair off, giving as a reason
the war in Europe and the nncer-
tainty of the financial market to-
gethar with the fear that the ex-
hibition will be a failure. The
truth CT the matter is that the fair
scheme has met with such disfavor
in the state and has been handled
in such a way that the people are
universally opposed to the expendi-
tufe of. the large amount of money
and those men seeking political
preferment, who are at the head of
the fair are jeopardising their own
interests by allowing the fair to
continue. Thatcher and Ross are
at the head of the fair as the demo

board and the three were members
