LOCAL AUTOIS1S
TO PREPARE
FOR 1916
EFFORTS WILL BE MADE 10
INCREASE MEMBERSHIP
OF CLUB

The Goldfeld Automobile club held
an important meeting Wednesday
evening at the Unity club. Presi-
dent Hewitt presided and among
those in attendance were Secretary
Munro Brown, A. H. Howe, c. G. Pat
rick, C. E. Redman, DR.. Mccarthy
and others. Those mentioned con-
stitute the directory and officiary of
the organization.
A campaign was launched for >
increase in the membership of the
club and the 11S owners of cars in
Goldfield and immediate vicinity
have already been appealed to to n
list in the campaign. The annual
dues, which heretofore have been
$12, were reduced to IS, which it
was believed would so distribute
whatever financial burden there may
be that no member will feel it.
Those who watched the develop
ments of travel on the Midland Trail
estimate that during a period of six
months, say $50 days, there was an
average of four cars per day passing
through Goldfeld over the trail.
This would mean 72O cars during
that period.
One b%eneficient result of the work
of the Goldfield and other clubs has
been the sign-boarding of the road
with uniform signs from Los Angeles
to Ely, the expense of which was met
by the Los Angeles Auto club.
1t was the belief of those present
at the meeting that the recent open
ing of the Tioga Pass through Yo-
semitic National Park will result next
year in a tremendous increase
travel over the Midland trail ar
those touring from the east to San
Francisco. One interesting fact in
this connection that will be brought
to the attention of tourists is that
this route from Salt Lake or Ely via
GOldfield and Bishop and through
the Tioga Pass and the National Park
is So miles shorter than TO
San Francisco via Reno and Tahoe.
The Goldfield club is affiliated
with the American Automobile asso-
ciation, and through this affiliation
holds a position that will, in the
opinion of it's officers, be of advan-
tage not only to this section, but to
the tourists in transcontinentaf
travel.
The meeting of the state %organiza-
ton will be held at Ely December IS,
and a number of autoists from here
will attend the meeting.

Valuable Stallion Goes Mad

Another case of property loss to
coyote menace was recorded recent
ly when a valuable stallion belong
ing to S. Johnson. a rancher in the
northern part of the state. went mad
and had to be shot. The stallion is
thought to have been bitten by a
coyote and to have been infected
rabies. A rabid coyote and n of
the ranch dogs had been fighting
the evening before and the coyote
was victorious. 1t is thought that
the same animal is responsible for
the loss of the stallion.

Heavy Snowfall

Reports recently received from
Elko state that the snowfall this
season in the Humboldt drainage
basin has been heavy, and the sur
rounding mountains are reported to
have received a covering of the
beautiful some three inches thick on
the level. The Verdi Lumber COM
pany is keeping a record for the
farmers of the eastern part of the
state and is mailing them a report
of the precipitation every month.

EAGLES BENEFIT
GREAT SUCCESS
MINSTREL SHOW CAUSE OF
MUCH MIRTH AT EXCHANGE
LAST NIGHT

The minstrel show put on at the
Exchange theater last evening by
the members of the local aerie OF
Eagles was the most elaborate pre-.
duction of the kind seen in Goldfield
in many days. The crowd was
large, there being no vacant seats,
and it was one of the most appre-
ciative audiences that has gathered
under one roof in camp in some
time. The entire production spoke
highly of the efforts that the di-
rector and members of the east have
put forth to insure the successful
staging of the show.
Some of the most startling hits
we're encored time and time again.
The audience insisted that NJ.
Dromiack stay in front of the foot
lights the entire evening with his
song hits and jokes. Munro Brown
came in, as the show was we'll ad-
vanced, all out of breath and relat-
ed some new and clever Ford stor-'
les and also did some clever sing
ing and dancing, which was we'll ap-
preciated by the audience.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. st. Pierre TOOK
the house by storm and were forced
to reappear several times to en-
cores. Louis Polin was the same
old Louis. Mrs. Jack Thompson n
Harry Ennis, in their duet, were
excellent. The young ladies of the
chorus were commended because o.
their ready adaptability to the diff
ficult dancing and feature stunts
that they carried off cleverly. The
afterpiece, the burlesque prize
fight. was the bowling success OF
the evening.
Tonight, the cast of characters Tor
the drama Bought and Paid For
includes a large number of local
pecple. Miss Helen Heffernan, IN
the role of Virginia; Harry Ennis
as Robert Etafford; Lloyd Mayer as
Jimmie Gillie; Mrs. r. l.. st. Pierre
as Fannie Blaine; Miss Nora RED

DEATH CALLS FORMER
GOLDfItLD ENGINEER
SUCCEEDED HIS BROTHER AS
EDITOR OF THE BATTLE
MOUNTAIN SCOUT

Charles H. Gibson, editor of the
Battle Mountain Scout, died at Bat
tie Mountain last Friday afternoon
after a brief illness. When his
brother, who founded the Scout,
died two years ago, Mr.. Gibson, who
was at Battle Mountain as a mining
engineer, took charge of the paper
and conducted it with vigor and
good sense. He made a strong and
newsy publication. His editorial
columns were always well worth
reading, as he brought to the dis
cussion of public questions a mind
well trained and matured. He was a
graduate of Frieburg school of mines
and was retained by several Mexican
mining companies as consulting en-
gineer until the civil war broke out
in that country, when he came to
Nevada. The funeral took place last
Sunday afternoon. A sister, Mrs. G..
A. WHITEWATER of Battle Mountain,
survives him.-Gazette.
Charles H. Gibson was well known
in Goldfield and throughout south
ern Nevada, having been engaged in
this region in the capacity of mining
engineer. His brother, who died
two years ago, was at one time en-
gagged in newspaper work in Gold

Elko nas 1000 Scalps

ElkO county authorities report
that they have over 1000 coyote
scalps en- hand and hat the num-
Der will be considerably augmented
before the time for the final de-
struction by cremation will take
place. The officials are in a guam
Diary as to how they shall comply
with the law, which reads that the
scalps shall be burned. The Elko
court house employs oil burners and
'here is no way of burning the
ScalNs as they accumulate.

No More Fish

George T. Mills, fish commission
er of Nevada, states that owing to
the failure of the last legislature to
provide funds to carry on the stock
ing of the streams of the state with
fish none of this work will be car
ried on until 1917. The fish have
been shipped to various points of
distribution by the fish commission
and planted in the streams and
lakes of the state.

Year of Prosperity for Mason

Mason valley has had a year o.
prosperity, according to advices re-
ceived from the farming section
the central part of the state. The
ranches of that district have had a
prosperous year and have shipped
over 100000 worth of alfalfa seed
from the district. The potato crop
is also extremely large and the price
of spuds is high. The turkeys
shipped from the valley have been
another factor in enriching the
farmer, as several tons of the great
American birds have been shipped
from the valley.

Steel Trade Activity

This week will witness some very high records in the steel industry. Not only is there great activity in the iron and steel trade at the present time but it promises to continue for many months to come.
 A New York journal says that as a result of orders already booked and orders in sight, steel manufacturers seem convinced that their mills will be kept steadily employed well into next year. "There is," it says, "un- usually heavy buying of rails and other material from domestic con- sumers in the last quarter of the year, and the question of deliveries is now an important one. If the railroads enter the market as heavy buyers they are expected to find difficulty in securing deliveries owing to the already sold up corl. Ion of the mills. A big demand has set in for wire for export and further advances in prices would not be surprising"
 All of which goes to strengthen the prediction that industrial centers will have record breaking booms this fall and winter.

PRETTY SMALL BUSINESS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Toronto has street naming committee which is raking the city map with fine toothed comb for the purpose of destroy ing all German street names. Many such names have been found and ruthlessly stamped out. But the committees zeal has outrun it's intelligence. It has recom- mended for destruction a number of names of more or less German appearance Take, for example, Radenhurst avenue. The committee marked it for deletion and substituted Labatt avenue. in honor of an eminent maker of beer. Several Rad enhursts arose to shriek in chorus that Radenhurst is good English, that Colonel Radenhurst was brave Canadian soldier in the war of 1872. and that his memory was being grossly insulted by egregious nrnies. and more to that effect.
 Also there was Prust street. which cer- tainly did look German enough at first glance. It was made Maidstone street Whereupon William Prust, a respectable citizen, for whom the street was named takes oath that he possesses no drop oi German blood, that Prust is a fine old Devonshire name, and that the street naming committee ought to have some thing done to it.
 Of course it is not likely that either Kaiser Wilhelm or von Bethmann- Holl veg is greatly disturbed by the action oi the Toronto committee. The entire busi
 ness is pretty small. And it is rather amusing that the mistakes have aroused
 ire and inspired grave newspaper dis cussion.

The Bullish Cotton Market

The cotton market already bulllsh will be even more bullish if the gov ernment's crop condition report to be issued today shows deterioration in this month of August as many farm CTS and traders think it will.
 A 12,000,000 bale crop, forecast a month ago, would not be larger than needed for the years requirements, war or no war. Such crop would hardly be large enough; and if the production should drop down to It, 900 ,0OO bales, as some observers pre- dict, prices will soar.
 Should the government report show little deterioration prices might weak en temporarily, but the statistical po- sition of cotton is certainly favorable to high prices, provided the farmers take MT. Harding's adyl-e and mar ket the crop gradually.

JAPAN ALERT AND READY

From the Boston Herald.
 Japan moves quickly to take advan- tage of the costly blunder of the La Toilette seamen's law in the United States Close on the heels of the with drawal and sale of the Pacific Mail liners comes the announcement that the
 Osaka Steamship company has ordered six additional 12,O00-ton steamships,
 Japanese built, with passenger anl freight accommodations for the trans
 pacific line to Puget Sound-the short | route to the orient.
 It is naively explained in the Jap anese announcement that With the withdrawal of the Pacific Mail steam ships, the Japanese lines must handle the bulk of the transpacific passenger 1 traffic" There is no record in history of national lawmakers deliberately vor- | ing to turn over important steamship services to rivals in trade and possible enemies in war that Is at all comparable with the action of the American Con- gress.
 A few years ago an elaborate in. vestigation was conducted by a spe- 1 cial committee of the House of Repre- sentatives into a charge that European and Japanese steamship interests were l maintaining an active lobby at Wash ington. No actual lobby was discovered, 1 though it was shown that a very keen
 interest was manifested in the national legislative situation by the great for eign steamship corporations whose ac- | tivities in the matter of pools, rebates, etc, were little later inquired into by
 another congressional committee and by | the federal courts.
 There is no apparent reason to be lieve that Japan influenced the enact-
 ment of the LaFol1ette seamen's law though this is of incalculable benefit .o Japanese shipowners and merchants
 The truth is that certain labor agitators
 demanded it, and that Congress and the
 administration granted their request
 without waiting to ascertain the con | sequences

Cutting High Rent

A plan originated in Philadelphia by the Octavia Hill association, provides for the building of homes for working men that will be comfortable, sanitary and to be rented at nominal figure, in order that the laborer of small means may have a suitable home for his family.
 Construction is already in progress on the first unit of these homes, of which 32 homes constitute a group. The dwellings are built around the edge of square, there being a roomy court or park in the center, to provide light, air and plenty of playroom for children.
 The houses are built, some for one family some with apartments for two families, and rent at S8 to $12.60 each-never more than that. All have an abundance of windows, the best sanitary plumbing and attractive dec oration.
 The rent, while very low, will, it is figured, after expense of taxes, insur- ance, water rent, agents fees, repairs and allowance for depreciation have been deducted, yield 5.S5 per cent on the investment.
 If this plan can be worked in Phil adelphia, it is reasonable to suppose that similar plan would be possible for other cities. The return in im- proved health and better citizenship would be ample justification for the enterprise, which in final analysis has it's foundation in good business prin- ciple.
 About all that is necessary is for some public spirited, far-sighted citizen to start the ball rolling.

The Mexican PeOn

The attempts of benevolent ad- mnistration to help Mexico "work out its destiny" in the serene confi- dence that the Mexicans would be able to do it and would avail themselves of the glorious opportunity. given them by America have proved more or less abortive. This seems due more to the character of Mexico's popula- tion than to anything else. American residents who have had their fortunes swept away and have been driven out of Mexico by the policy of the Ameri- can government are inclined to scoff at the idea of an awakening" in Mexico. Knowing the Mexican peon as they do, their attitude has been aptly described by the governor of a state in the southwest, who said: Our American citizens in Mexico are the victims of governmental policy of mischievous benevolence. That a neighbours baby be fed beefsteak, which it could not digest, adults have been starved at home."
 There is little to admire in the Mexican peon. When unarmed and sober he is comparatively harmless, but the recent history of his country shows his power for mischief when

RESOURCES OF HONDURAS
From Commerce Reports.


 Honduras is a rich country, and it's resources remain in almost virgin con- dition. It possesses a climate that varies with it's topography. the temperature on the coasts being hot, in the lowlands of the interior it is warm, and it's table lands and valleys are especially adapt ed for the raising of cattle and the pur- suit of agriculture. Honduras, with all varieties of climate, with it's slowlands on the coast, it's valleys and undulating plains and it's highlands In the interior, all covered with a rich and fertile soil. can produce all classes and kinds of fruit, grains and vegetables, such as bananas. plantains, cocoanuts, pineapples, man. goes. aguacates, oranges. corn, beans. rice. wheat, oats. sugar cane, coffee, to- bacco, indigo, etc, but most of these will never be produced on a large scale until highways are built and transporta- ton facilities afforded the people. This is the situation the country presents It is rich, but undeyeloped. It is easily sus- ceptibe to great development, but it's pop ulation is scant and have not the means to develop it themselves. Capital must be imported with which to do 1t, and those furnishing the capital will control and receive the benefits Of increased trade and commerce..

The cheap substitute for butter Is mar garine, which is now being made princi- pally from vegetable oils, such as COCOA nut oil, palm oil and cotton seed oil It also contains a certain amount of butter, which is regulated by law. The oils are first carefully refined by chemical pro- cesses and are then blended so as to imi- tate butter as nearly as possible. They must melt at the temperature of the hu- man body, so they be easily digested.

Germany nnd the United States.

That was a most significant head line which I read in Sunday morning S Age Herald, German Emperor Confers With Won Tirpitz Regarding Arabic Incident" remarked H. P. Corners of New York city
 Those who have given much atten- ton to the German side of the war will recall the fact that Admiral Won Tir- pitz. the minister of marine, has been placed In almost supreme charge of the German fleet It was he who has carried out the policy of preparation Tn naval affairs: 1t was he who super vised the fortifcation of the now im- pregnable Helgoland, and it was he who inaugurated the undersea blockade of the British isles.
 Probably Emperor William has at last become aroused by the American notes, and has summoned his naval aide with view of altering in some respects the submarine propaganda which has been carried out with such telling effect on British commerce."
