Many Original and Handsome Designs
This season it affords us more pleasure than
ever before to invite attention to our Japanese
Department. We viewed many lines before
making selections and great care was exercised
in choosing only such patterns and items as we
felt confident would make ready appeal to our
patrons
Nothing remains unshown that is worthy of
being put in our stock. Ornamental and useful
articles are here in greatest abundance, and
many unique effects. This year we have added
any number of new pieces, shapes and decora
tiOnS
Many patterns are carried in extensive
variety so that sets or parts of sets may be
obtained.
Greater efficiency is sho1vn by the artists
than ever before; the designs OF many pieces are
really remarkable for their elaborate use of COL
ors and gold together, yet are in the finest taste

HIGH COST OF ELECTIONS

The high cost of elections is ap-
parently as much a problem as the
high cost of living in Nevada,
judging from the figures published
as a result of Investigation into
costs by several of the county
clerks in the state. In some coun-
ties. the cost per vote is as high as
SO for both primary and general
elections, this figure being about
the maximum. This may be excep-
tionally high in this state and Gov
ers widely distributed precincts. In
Storey county the fetal cost per
vote for the two elections will not
exceed $3.50, this county being
fortunate in having its voting dis
tricts concentrated. 1t all suggests
that the high cost of elections may
receive some attention at the forth
coming session of the legislature

OUTRAGEOUS FOOD PRICES


Famine prices for food through.
out the United States are arbitrar.
lily speculative and criminal. They
have been imposed at a time when
the greatest crops ever known are
maturing and in the face Of an EN-.
barge upon foreign commerce that
may last long enough to Rlut our
warehouses.
1t is thus that the warmakers Of
the earth heap terror upon terror
and add suffering to suffering. The
worst of their offense>is not always
to be seen upon the field of battle.
Savagery there has some redeem
ing traits, such as courage, devo-
ton and sacrifice. In the market
place it is altogether sordid and
calculating. In conflict war kills
and mains strong men. In trade
it starves the aged, the young, the
weak.
The movement in congress to iu-
vestigate this outrageous increase
in the prices of provisions may be
useful in a way but it will not
promptly reach the evil. What is
needed is instant activity on the
part of the department of justice.
There al be no such general and
exorbitant marking up Ct food
prices in the absence of combina-
ton and conspiracy.

unfair business practices, monop-
olies, conspiracies aud combina-
tions are Sc much blank paper il

July. It was used by Sever In
spector Jones to flush the sewer
and left in the street for teams
and autos to run over. Mr.. Shir.
ley dragged it from the street to
the gutter a few days after the
street inspector used it and it has
laid there since.
Our attention has been called to
the hose several times but it es-
capped our memory until now. We
called Constable McMurtrey's at
tention to the hose this forenoon
and he called on Ralph Young who
has charge of the fire apparatus.
Mr.. Young told him the sewer in
spector had Commissioner Patter-
sons permission to use the hose and
the failure to take care of it was
the fault of that official. Here
after Commissioners Patterson
should take a bond from the sewer
inspector when he asks PERMISSION
to use town property. The careless
ness in this case is almost criminal.

THANK WILSON FOR IT

Woodrow Wilson, the president
of the United States, has expressed
we'll the determination of the
American people to remain abso-
lutely neutral in deed and in
thought, and the people endorse
the word which he has spoken, as
their chief officer, thank him for it
and will abide by It."
So say the Hearst papers now.
Hearst, who was raging for war
with Mexico a few weeks ago, and
was villifying Wilson a short time
ago because the president said we
should keep our word with Great
Britain, has discovered that jim
goism is not popular. Hearst knows
no motive but self-interest. To
advance himself he will praise and
flatter those whom he hates, but
moral ideas and his ideals are those
of the hungry hyeDn.-San Fran

Of August 7th, are being read with
much interest, ss giving the view

The word moratorium" is new
to many of US. 1t means, according
to present day usages, a suspension
of debt obligations. The king and
other potentates back in Europe
have found it necessary to issue i'm
perial DEGREES suspending the pay
ments owing to the labber-gasted
conditions within their respective
domains. War, it is said, is the
cause of the change in business
procedure among the Europeans.
But just why the Nevada politicians
should issue q moratorium ovei in
this neck of the woods isn't plain
to our befuddled brain. That they
have done so, we fully conclude,
as we blinkingly look at the red on
our ledger. One particularly purity
boy, who together with a purifier
wife, once posed in a desert set
ting that the moving picture
camera might perpetuate in film his
perfect physical proportions and
those of his estimable life partner,
has taken keen delight in a self es-
tablished moratorium, though he
had money in his jeans with which
to violate the purity of the election
law when he was in Fallon. Evil
IDENTIFY this individual expects to be
elected to a state office on his
shape. Just how far his contour
will carry him remains to be seen.
Churchill Standard.
We think the Standard should be
more explicit and give the name of
the moratorium candidate. While
we have a very strong suspicion Us
to the candidate the Standard re.
fers to, our suspicion may not be
well founded. Several candidates
from the desert" country have
called at this office and all were
good lockers. The same may lie
said of all the candidates we have
seen this year-good lockers all.
This being the case it's pretty
difficult to pick out the right man
from the Standards description
still we know Of but one "purty
boy, who, together with a purifier
wife, once posed in a desert setting
etc." but there may be others who
have done the same. We are in still
in doubt.

FOREST FIRE RACES

According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Grass Valley, Cal,
200 men are fighting a forest fire
in the Tahoe national forest e
the Nevada state line and a call has
been sent out to all neighboring
forest reserves for help. More
than 1000 acres of timber were re-
ported, from Grass Valley to have
burned.
At Truckee, Cal, this afternoon,
Forest Ranger Helbig said the fire
reported from Grass Valley is the
same as that on the north slope of
Peavine Mountain in section So,
township 20. range II north, about
seven miles north of Verdi. He
said it was net the fire ut the head
of Hunter Greek Canyon, which
NAV be seen from Reno. Helbig
said the fire in the Hunter Creek
mountains will be investigated at
once.
Forty or fifty men we're sent
from Reno this morning by Forest
Ranger Frank A.. Wilson to fight
the blaze above Verdi. They went
in automobiles. Wilson said the
blaze already had swept over 1900
acres Of timber and that it was
both commercial timber Of the
Verdi Lumber Company and on
government land. He had sent men
from communities near the fire,
including Portola and Loyalton and
said $50 men would be fighting the
fire this afternoon and more would
be sent tomorrow if they are need
ed. He said he thought the fire
would 500 be under control.-Ga-

A coWardlV murder was COM
mitted Tuesday night on the road
from Reno TO Virginia City. On
that night John Krut7ler, employ
ed on the ranch OF James S. Lyon
had driven to Reno with the II
yesr-old daughter of his employee.
On their return to the ranch they
were stopped by a man who COM
manded them to throw up their
bends. A shot followed the COM
mand and Krutzler fell dead with
a bullet in his brain. The young
woman Mortified by the deed Jump
ed from the buggy and made her
way--to a neighbours house and gave
the alarm. The murdere r disap.
peared in the darkness. AS soon as
news Of the crime reached Reno
officials were in pursuit of the
murderer. Owing to the condition
of Miss Lyons they we're unable to
get a definite description of the
man. About all that she could say
was that he was roughly dressed
and either wore a mask or had a
heavy beard. At latest reports no
trace of the murderer had been
found.
