THE MOUNTAIN VIEW.
A Leading Hotel in Phoebe; First
Class in all its Appointments;
Admirably Situated, Next to
the Court House.

ASK anybody who has ever been in
Lincoln county, Nevada, and who has
travelled widely enough to be en-
titled to an opinion, what he consid@
ers the finest view on the American
continent. He will think a moment,
mention two or three famous show
places with which we are all more
or less familiar-Yosemite, Glacier
Park, Lookout Mountain, the summit
OF Pixies Peak-and then the chances
are ten to one that he will add The
scene from the porch of the Mountain
View hotel in Phoebe. With such an
introduction to the Mountain View, a
stranger would scarcely be prepared
to find it right next door to the court
house, where, in all probability, he
wants to transact an important part
OF the business which brought him
to the city.
But it will not surprise him in the
least, knowing this much, to learn
that the Mountain View is strictly
first class in all its appointments. He
would reason, quite correctly, that
the proprietors couldn't afford to
conduct anything but a first-class en-
terprise on SO valuable a Site Large
and airy rooms, expensive furnish
ing, steam heat, baths and all other
modern conveniences, and table that
is above criticism, these follow as a
matter of course. They are what the
guest would naturally expect at the
Mountain View, and he is not disap-
pointed.
Under the able management of Mrs.
Alex. Orr, the Mountain View caters
to superior patronage, who always
make it their home when stopping in
| Phoebe. The tactful and courteous
hospitality of the proprietress seems
to greet you at the door, and instant
ly you feel that you belong" But
there is one surprise in store for you:
the rates are only $200-$2.5O per
day. Who would look for so small
a charge at first-class hotel in a
mountain town, where prices are
necessarily high? Adv.

I haven't seen Lacy since his return. I will not see him prior to the date of the trial of the case against Oakley. But I will insist that he take the stand irrespective of what he might say or whom his testimony might aid or injure. The truth should come out, and the only way 1t can come out. in my opinion. is for Lacy to take the stand and give testimony under oath.

This decision was reached late to- day by Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the committee, after an informal ccn- ference with some members of the com nlttee and Representative Knowiand of California, one of the most aggressive of repeal opponents in the House
 Early in the< day Senator O'Gorman had stated that he would call q meeting of the committee Monday or Tueslav of next week to discuss the repeai bill in- trcduced by Senator Owen Later how ever. the senator found { hat Senator Crawford. member of the canals ccm- mittee, could not return from South Da- kota until late in the week and he with held the call.
 Senator Crawford is much interested r the tolls matter as members of the canals committed" said Senator C'Gorman, and I do not wish to have tho repeal question disposed of by the committee until all members have had an opportunity to express themselves on the matter.
 The effect of this decision will be to postpone any consideration of the toll exemption repeal by the Senate commit tee until after the House voted on the issue. Administration leaders had ho,5, q to have the committee report on the bill by the time the House had acted.
