COOP Work

The OREGON VOTER. published

- doing . wonderful work for the

throughout the state Of Oregon. Mr..
Chapman u giving his readers. and

ity with every issue. cold facts and
figures.
Oregon has been drifting along for
years, the people apparently satisfied
that their public Affairs we're being
handled In the most economical and
businesslike manner. OCCASIONAL
some dissatisned taxpayer would
make . complaint. but - he had no
reliable information to base his
kick" ON. he was given very little
attention.
Instead Of the people running the
Affairs Of the state. counties and cities
|of Oregon. a. they thought they were.
the majority Of the counties Of the
state had ! little combination Of ONCE
holders who dictated and controlled
every public transaetion.
In 1919. while these little combina-
tions were resting secure In their
control Of public affairs. the legisla-
ture passed what was known - the
''Uniform Accounting system." which
provided for an investigation and re-
port on the msthods of business and
expenditures Of the counties Of the
state. BY oalcials from one of the state
departments.
A. soon a. these reports began to
b published and the real facts Of the
waste OF money going ON became
known, there was q furore throughout
the state. The taxpayers became In
tteussiy interested and county officials
were asked to explain many things
which It was not only embarrassing
but difncult for them to do. They
discovered that publicity was bad for
their little schemes and plans. and
Immediately got busy to kill this ne
farious law that was working such
havoc with their control OF affairs.
| With their effective organisation
and the lobbiests from every part
Of the state. which they brought te
Salem at the 1915 session. they sue.
ceeded in repealing the law. but for.
tunately for the Taxpayers Of the state
they were too late. The one year the
law had been in effect the work had
been done. The eyes OF the people
had besn opened and they were giver
just enough insight into what wal
going ON to make them determined

WOOL BUYERS IN DOUGLAS

Several wool buyers visited this sec
ton during the week but as far as is
known did not purchase any of the
spring clip. One buyer offered 1917
cents and later said that he might be
able to pay 10 cents upon consulting
with shis firm. A few weeks ago p
cents was being offered in this part
of Nevada, but at that time lambing
season was on and shearing was out
of the question. A grower informs
this paper that the slump in prices is
probably due to large shipments of
wool arriving from Australia. This
foreign wool is of low-grade and
therefore low priced, but the Yankee
manufacturers are able to make use
of it to the detriment and injury of
growers in this country.-Gardenrville

RICH ORE STRIKE
is MADE IN
CHURCHILL COUNTY

A new mining discovery mentioned
in last weeks Fallon Standard has
continued to be the main local topic
of conversation during the week just
past On last Wednesday returns
were received from samples sent to
Reno for assay and the result is but
confirmed the more sanguine in their
belief that this is the most promising
discovery that has been made in this
section since the days of the Fairview
Wonder and Rawhide rushes. The
first sample which was taken from
what is kown as the gold strike, gave
52.44 ounces gold and 26.40 ounces sill
yer, total value of $l,0ol.74; the sec
ond gave 81 in gold and $l8615 in
silver, based on 4o cent silver. These
are the only assays SO far received and
while they are not claimed to be av-
erage samples of the entire lodges
from which they were taken, they
were not picked nuggets.

DISCUSSING TEXT BOOKS

The State School Book Board met
in Carson this week and perfected
their organization. They took up in
turn the several books being recon-
mended by the agents OF the publish
ers and listened to their recommended
tions. 1t will probably take several
days for the Board to hear all that is
to be said of the merits of each set.
and then the adoption or rejection of
the books will be settled by the Board.
The matter of using the label OF the
Typographical Union will be one
point advocated in the discussion.
The printers have asked by resolu-
ton that the school books adopted
bear the label of their organization
AS this body of men represents the
best there is in the trade, it will prob
ably be of weight in the selection of
the books used for the coming term

WHAT is THE
MATTER WITH THE
MAIL SERVICE

There is something radically wrong
with the u. S. mail service into and
out of Yerington from and to nearby
points. 1t seems all mail from Yer
ington to Sweetwater, Wellington and
points on the Copper Belt is taken
first to Wabuska and then returned
to our postoffice for delivery, causing
from "a hours to a weeks delay We
must say those in charge seem to not
care how long mail is in getting to its
distinction The dis" is evidently a
mighty poor ore, but ! suppose we
must grin and bear it as long as we
have the present Democratic admins
traton, but those in charge should
take some interest in the prompt
transportation and deliver of mail
There is much room for Improvement,
in fact the mail service in this whole
section is bad enough. Those in
charge should correct such; we are
entitled to a good quick mail service;
do we get it? Not much-it's rotten

PLAINTIFF WINS SUIT

The jury in the case of. Fred NJ
May against the Nevada-Douglas
Copper Company tried at Reno, re
turned verdict Thursday in favor
of May for $4,000 damages sustained
while in the employ Of the corpora

company asking $4,000 damages for
injuries received while employed at
the Ludwig mine, alleging his hurts
were due to the carelessness of his
employers. His leg was badly smash
ed while unloading machinery at the
mine. In the verdict of the jury. the
defendant was allowed $1,000 damages
less $3.50 paid him previously by the

A HANDSOME CLEANUP

Tom Sharpe and sons, who are op-
Grating cyanide plant at FIetcher's
Station in Mineral county, were arri-
walls in Carson this week and brought
with them about 240 pounds of cyan
ide precipitates, the result of clean
up they recently made. The precipi-
tates were taken to the Carson City
Assay office and after melting were
run into a bar which weighed up
something like $1,000. The material
from which the values were extracted
is tailings that run off from the dumps
at one of the Bodie mills years ago
and carried by freshets to Flether's
Station, eighteen miles distant There
is lot of the same stuff still remain
ing at the station and this Messrs.
Messrs Sharpe are preparing to put
through their plant The gentlement
left for home, accompanied by Colonel
Woodbury., who will continue on to
Bodie. They also took with them
bout 600 pounds of zinc, which will be
used in the reduction of the tailngs.

HIGH-GRADE AT AURORA

An exceptional strike of gold ore
has been made on the property of the
Aurora Consolidated Mines Company,
located at Aurora, Nevada, in the
Aurora Mining District, u miles
southwest Hawthorne, ard eight miles
east of Bodie The ore body has been
cross-cut for 80 feet and averages SIS
in gold to the ton. Between 10000
and 100000 tons of ore have already
been blocked out on the new strike.
The property is opened by main
tunnel that cross-cuts the country
before the vein is reached The tun-(
mel has been driven to the south and
where the vein, striking eastcrly and
westerly. was drifted on the east ore
body has been encountered. A cross
cut driven through the vein showed
the ore body to be 80 feet in width,
while the vein is considerably wider
tim this, says the Salt Lake Tribune.

DEATH OF SYLVAN YOUNG

Sylvan John, youngest son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. +. Young. died in San
Francisco May 4. 1915, from a COM
pl;cation of diseases. The funeral
took place from Suhr - Wiebaldt un-
dertaking parlors and interment was
in Cypress Lawn Cemetery. The
Rev. Guthrie of tie Presbyterian
Church read the burial service. 1t
will be remembered that he lived and
attended school in Yerington since
1906 20 about year ago. His death
will cause regret among his many
young friends in this city. This paper
extends its heartfelt sympathy to the
family in their hour of bereavement.
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God $
free light,
Watered and fed by the morning
dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and
night.
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore;
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forever more.

BRIEF SUMMARY
OF THE
EUROPEAN WAR

The European war is fierce one.
Every nation mixed up in it is from its
own reports, winning everything and
whipp ng every other one. 1t is very
hard to determine the exact status of
affairs, but it seems that the German
Austrian forces have given the Rus
SLAMS a bad beating, and evidently the
Russians arc in full retreat and badly
demoralized.
On the Austro-talian frontier the
Italian is winning in minor engage
ments over the Austrian; no very
large engagements have developed, al
though it is said one now is in pro-
gress that will try the metal of the
Italian soldier
On the western line of battle the
British and French troops have, in
places, made slight advances; some
terrific fighting. has been going on
along this line SO far the Germans
seem to have withstood the fierce at
tacks by the allied forces, and are
holding their own.
On the water, German submarines
are playing havoc with English ships,
sinking two to six day, with the
British navy inactive.
AT the Dardenelles the allies have
not made much headway; the Turks
seem to be fighting as hard as the
other fellow, the allies losing a great
many men and several battleships.
1t is really anyone's fight yet, with
the Germans having the advantage SO
far.

BRYAN JOINS THE HAS BEENS

William Jennings Bryan, the peer
less one, seems to have overlooked
some of his points; he has had one put
over on him, and is trying to explain
how it was done, but the more he ex-
plains, the less he seems to under
stand how it was done He evidently
knows one thing, and that is, he is no
longer a member of the Wilson Cab
met. "He jumped his yob," but does
not seem to understand just why, and
is making great big holler about it.
We suppose he will miss that monthly
pay check, but as long as he can make
the Demos who have in the past been
putting up his campaign funds, or can
swing around the lecture circle at so
much per, giving his listeners "hot
air" that he will be in danger of starv-
ing during these times of high cost
of living" Probably the one taking
the position he has just vacated will
accomplish more and with less noise,
Il an has been accomplished by the
peoples idol" For what, we ask.
has he done of any great moment?
What result has he attained benefiting
this nation? There has been plenty
of Bryan noise, but very little in the
way of beneficial results.
Exit William Jennings; enter Wood
row as the future Demo leader.

NEVADA'S MINERAL
EXHIBIT TAKES FIRST
PRIZE AT EXPOSITION

Governor Boyle has received the
following telegram:
I'm competition with National and
State exhibits of the entire world.
Nevada, mining exhibit wins very
highest award-the grand prize"
Isn't that the real stuff? And does
it not put a crirnp in the statement
of the croakers that Nevada has failed
in the mineral exhibit? We should
worry! says the Carson Appeal.
But it is good news, the best that
has been received for many days. To
take the first prize over California,
Montana, Colorado and the other
mining States of the Union, to say
nothing of the exhibits of other parts
of the world, is some homer. but it is
nothing more than was expected by
those who are familiar with the min
erals and mining possibilities of the
Sagebrush State.
Nevada S mining exhibit at the Ex-
position was selected with great care
and represents every section of the
State and all classes, of minerals. The
work of selecting and arranging the
exhibit was. placed in the hands of the
mining department of the University,
and how well they have accomplished
their task is indicated by the fact that
Nevada is first >.
