TONOPAH HAS
100000 PAYDAY

This is the regular monthly payday
by mining companies of Tonopah. as
well as the date when other dis,
hursements are made for power, ma,
terial and other expenses. 1t is es.
timated at the banks that the amount
paid out will be well above $4OO, 900

to the fact that more men are now
employed and that the month OF
March consisted of 81 days, while
the costs for material were higher.

ALTERCAT|ON BRINGS
ABOUT SHOOTING

At Tonopah Friday evening a shoot
ing scrape resulted over an alterca-
ton over the disposal Of O piece OF
property consisting Of Fraser's wells,
seven miles northerly from Tonopah,
and several mining claims. Accord
ing to the Bonanza, 1t took place at
F. A. Fraser's cabin, FIVE and one
half miles north Of Tonopah. Mike
e. Woodbridge, to whom Mr.. Fraser
gave power Of attorney to sell the
property, walked out to the cabin af.
ter he had concluded his days work
as hoisting engineer at the Silver Top
shaft OF the Tonopah Mining com.
pany. Then there arose the quarrel.
1t seems that Mr.. Woodbridge had sold
the property for an amount said to
be $625, to Fred Wilson, who recent
ly opened resort at the well. This
transaction took place while Mr.. Fra.
ser was at Los Angeles. Beginning
with angry words, the trouble pro.
sressed until Mr.. Fraser drew a 32-
calibre pistol and shot Mr.. Woodbridge
through the right arm, just above the
elbow. Another shot went wild and
the men grappled, the gun being
Srested from Mr.. Fraser.
The man who did the shooting is
a pioneer OF Tonopah and drove stage
in the early days. He is now aged
nearly 85 years and located fourteen
claims and produced the water that
Is known as "Frasers Wells". Sher-
iG Slayin drove out and placed the
old man under arrest The complaint
has not yet been sworn to and no ar.
rangements for the preliminary ex.
animation have been made. 1t is said
that owing to the age of Mr.. Fraser,
Woodbridge will not appear against his
assailant. ..... ...

chancellor Of the knights of Pythias
for the domain Of Nevada, was royal
ly received by the members of White
Pine Lodge No. 28 at a special meet
ing last Wednesday night at the Odd
Fellows hall. After being received
with the customary honors, the dis
tnguished visitor entertained his
audience with an interesting nara
tive OF the origin OF Pythianism and
the remarkable growth of the order
during the last fifty years from a
mere handful to a membership of
100000.
Zeno Barnes grand master at
arms, and delegation from Cyprus

were served during the course of the

toasts were given. The grand chan

both lodges for the kindly feeling
that existed.
The ritualistic work In the second
rank was exemplified last Thursday
night at McGnl for the benefit of the
head Of the order in Nevada.

profits from the government by direct
virtue of their influential friends in
the army, the navy, and in congress.
Lest any gentlemen in high places
should resent the implication of being
friends of the war trust, l hasten at
the outset to concede their contentious
that they are patriots; yes, all of
them.
Congress can investigate the war
trust until it is black in the face,
and 1t will get nowhere. The secre-
tary of the navy can try as he will to
get some one to underbid the armor
ring, either in this country or abroad,
and he will not be able to escape the
net; he has tried and has not been
able to escape it.
Armor, armament, and ammunition
contractors are not big enough fools
TO cut each others throats. Their
business is to supply for a gigantic
profit the wherewithal for the peo-
pies of the earth to enjoy a monopoly
Of throat-cutting and the pulling of
limb from limb. AS for themselves,
they do not indulge in the price-cut-
ting warfare. Their game is purely
profit making. They start the ball
rolling by making nations distrustful
of one another, and then in inducing
them to overprepare for war. Does
anyone doubt that II the European

for war they would have been so will.

LOCAL CAPITAL
MAY BUILD ROAD
Business Men of Boise Get Behind
oise-Winnemucca
Railroad

A recent press dispatch from Boise
holds out some hope for the build
ing of that railroad from Winnemuc-
ca to Boise, Notwithstanding the fact
that no aid can be expected from the
Western Pacific. The dispatch says:
Construction of the Boise-Winne-
mucca railroad from Boise to Win
nemucca, New, there connecting with
the Western Pacific railroad-giving
an outlet to southern Idaho produce
on South Pacific coast-will probably
be accomplished through the efforts
Of local energy and capital at both
ends of the proposed line-San Fran
cisco and Boise.
at is now definitely understood that
the Western Pacific owners will be
unable to build the road under their
present financial status. Every effort
is being put forth by the Boise Com.
mercial club to raise the funds and
get actual operations under way. Col
onel Place, who has been associated
with the project for years, and Geo.
w. Fletcher, local banker, who was
commissioned to go east and consult
with the Western Pacific people, are
directing the movement toward plac.
ine Boise and Boise capital squarely
behind the proposed line.
THE difficulties the Western Pacific
railroad found itself confronted with
blasted the hopes Of those here who
had looked forward to activity in con.
struction of the Boise e-Winnemucca
Inc. President Bush of that road has
told those here directly interested in
the construction of the feeder to the

goes on to show the feasibility and
possibility of these lines, all of which
make intereatinp reading
'"When will work start on them?"
Railroad men who are asked this
question reply: when the trade in
the territories embraced in the pro.
posed construction work justifles the
expenditure of vast sums OF money,
and when the money is available"
The answer is rather indefinite, but
we have faith TO believe that the time
is not far distant when work on one
of these lines will be started.-Salmon

THE WORLD WIDE
WAR TRUST

BY Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner
l sat recently in the house of rep
resentatiyes and heard the Hon. Au-
gustus Gardner of Massachusetts,
make the statement upon his RESPONSE
. bility as member of the American
; Congress that:
IF war were to break cut today,
ii would be found that our coast de-
lenses have not sufficient ammunition
for an hours fight"
Whether or not Mr.. Garduer's state
Ilent is correct, cannot say, because
l do not know; but this / do know,
that we do not have the ammunition
and armament that we have paid for
and should have in return for the
countless millions of dollars of the
! American peoples money that have
been expended from the public treas.
ury.
l mean to say that those army and
navy officers who do the purchasing
OF war munitions and who are paid
| salary by the people and are trusted
by the people to see that the govern
ment receives a dollars worth of ma
terial for every dollar expended, have
permitted ring of ammunition manu-
!acturers to outIageously overcharge
Uncle Sam for armor, guns, powder,
and munitions in general.
For instance, the war department
III 1913 purchased seven thousand Al
inch shrapnel from the ammunition
ring, paying $25.26 each therefor. At
the asme time precisely the same
sharpnel was being manufactured in
the governmeutowned Frankford
irsenal for S15.45, all overhead
charges included.
Mr.. Average Citizen, are you will
ing that the public officials at the
war department who are spending
your money should pay $2526 for an
article that they could have manufac-
tured in government plants for $15.45?
This instance is not the exception;
1t is the rule. The army and navy
officers in 20 years have purchased
$l75,O0O,000 worth of armor, arma.
ment, and munitions from four firms
which have monopoly in this coun-
try on the manufacture of such sup
! plies and have paid this grasping war
trust from 20 to so per cent more
! than the same articles could have
been manufactured for in Government
plants.
As the result Of frequently repeated
statements similar to that made by
Mr.. Gardner. the average citizen Is
at last beginning to ask: what be-
comes of the s250,O00, 900 that is be-
ing spent annually on our army and
navy? Who, pray, is getting the
money!"
And II is time the people are be-
ginning to show anxiety. because their
money has been squandered like wat
cr, and unless Mr.. Average Citizen
wakes up and removes the wool from
bis eyes 1t is going to continue to be
squandered.
The American people have never
been let into the secret Of who the
profit makers are In the traffic Of war
and preparation for war in this coun.
try, and the methods by which they
he lp themselves at the public through.
l win go further and venture the as.
sertion that not 30 members OF con.
gress know the identity of the select
ring Of patriots for profit into whose
pockets the millions of the masses are
pouring, which gentlemen have a
Hater-tight monopoly in this country
on the traffic Of war trading and who
have drawn down every penny Of $780,.
