LIBERTY BELL MAY
Be TAKEN TO COAST

PHILADELPHIA, April IA de-
termined effort will be made at tomor-
rows meeting OF city councils to
hiring about the passage of an ordi-
rance permitting the removal of the
historic liberty bell from its shrine in
independence hall to the Pennsylvania
building at the San Francisco inter
national exposition where it will be
exhibited until the close of the fair.
An appeal from the California legisla-
ture was received today.
Mayor Blankenburg and leaders in
councils favor the movement and are
willing to see the necessary money ap-
propriated for the expenses of the
trip. Heretofore the proposition has
been opposed mainly by patriotic ord,
ers and by bodies of women who fear
that the precious relic might be de.
stroyed in a railroad wreck or some
other accident.
Now those favoring the exhibition
of the bell in the far western city have
obtained the support of Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Miles and the in,
iuence Of these distinguished officers
is being felt so strongly that there is
little doubt the bell will be permitted
10 go away properly guarded by
Philadelphia policemen.
Admiral Dewey and Gen. Miles
'rgue hat by reason of conditions in
europe this is a good time to stir up
patriotic sentiment among the people
OF this country and that nothing would
have greater influence than a trip
across the continent of the bell which
proclaimed liberty throughout the
land 139 years ago.
The details of the amount of money
needed for the expenses and the date
on which the revered piece of bronze
is to be started on its journey remain
to be settled.

WHEN THE NATION GOES DRY.

is the world going dry? This is
b question which has started
many to thinking the past few
months and the sign on the wall
reads that 1t Is. The greatest war
that the world has ever known has
paved the way for prohibition and
has done more in a few short months
that the world has ever known. Rus
STA was the first to place the ban up
Oh the booze and did 1t with an iron
hand. The powers in Russia real
lied hat victory and booze could not
ride in the same wagon and the lat
ter had to go. The other warning
nations were quick to follow in her
footsteps and In Europe a drunkard
or even a moderate drinker, has no
place. What has been done in
Europe will soon be followed in the
United States and the day of John
DarIeycorn will he at the end.
Already has the president beer
asked to call a special session OF
CODSTeSS 10 Oedl WITH INC liQuOI
question and while it is hardly prob
able that the president will take that
step at this time, yet the next ses-
sion of congress will have the liquor
question as the greatest to consider.
State and county prohibition is a
failure but when the nation realizes
Il great need of downing the mon
ster then all will be we'll. The
liquor interests of the country will
fight with might and main to avert
what will be to them a catastrophe
hut the time will come wheE theiI
objections will be swept way as the
chaff before the wind and the nation
will go dry. Should the United
States be drawn into the great con.
iiict-which let US hope it never will
be--the time and the people will de-
mand It. Alcohol has had its day
and when the nation is in peril 1t will
be crushed as the greatest foe.-Car.

SEASON WILL OPEN
THIRTY DAYS EARLIER

The steamer Tahoe, which for so
many years has furnished entertain
ment and pleasure for thousands of
visitors at the lake, will be dry
locked" at Glenbrook on the goth
and given a thorough scraping and
renovating. The work Will occupy
about ten days time and will employ
between fifteen and twenty men.
When all has been completed the boat
will begin its reguiar trips about thu
lake.
Because Of the early spring and the
rapid disappearing OF the snow and
the further fact hat many more
thousands are going to visit the fam,
GUS resort on account of the big ex.
positions, the season at the lake will
open about thirty days earlier than
heretofore. Everything is being put
in shape for the anticipated rush.

NEvADA'S PARCEL
POST IN TROUBLE
government Losing Money on Star
Routes; winnemueca Contract
IL Cancelled

The government has r~eadvertised
for bids for carrying the mail be.
tween Winnemucca and National and
McDermitt, and Winnemucca and vii.
low Point and Paradise Valley, for a
term beginning June l, 1915, and end,
ing June 80, 1918, the Winnemucra
Silver State says:
Last year G.. w. Summerfeld enter.
ed into a four-year contract with the
government for this work, buying au,
tomobiles for handling II. There has
been more or less dissatisfaction on
both sides, which eliminated a few
days ago when the government pre-,
sented an amendment to the contract
by which the contractor was to agree
not to carry anything on his own &C.
count. This proposition was declined,
and the government cancelled the con
tract, having reserved that right in
the original contract.
1t is thought the government be,
lieves it can get the parcels post car
ried at a lower rate than 1t is at pres.
ent paying, which is $2.25 per 100
pounds to National and SITS to Amos
and McDermitt, while the parcels post
rate is S1.0S per hundred.
The contract to Willow Point and
Paradise Valley is on the fiat basis OF
$4,000 a year.
Mr.. Summerfield says he will not be
a bidder again.
The whole trouble seems to lie in
the fact that the parcels post is a
failure OF the star mail routes. The
public in the empire to the north OF
Winnemucca was quick to take ad,
vantage of the system, as it could
transport all its freight at a rate OF
$1.0S per 100 while, to ship by
freighting outfits would cost from
$3.50 to SO a hundred, according to
distance and class of freight. BY
doing up the freight packages of SO
pounds. an indefinite amount of all
classes of goods could be shipped.
The threatened deficit is so large
the government has cancelled practic
ally all star route contracts and call
ed for new bids to be submitted on the
basis Of so much per mile per 10C
pounds. At present the rate to Amos
(the first p~ostoffice on the line) is the
same as to McDermitt, which is nearly
twice the distance.

I have learned. think II unlikely
that Goals dropping from the wagon
set fire to the bridge. In the FIRST
place there were only four sticks OF
wood In the fire-box and mostly
ashes would drop through. Second
ly. shortly after the fire was discov-
cred the bridge was burning from

The fire would be more likely to
travel under the sidewalk al the

TO think that defective electrical
wiring or spontaneous combustion
caused the fire and that It was
