TAFT, PEACE ADVOCATE

A Portland, (Ore.,) dispatch says;
A plan for promoting permanent
peace among nations, outlined by
former President Taft, was the fea-
ture of the opening session of the
Oregon-W Washington Bar Association.
The cardinal points in the plan as
Judge Taft outlined it were:
Establishment of league of peace,
composed of the principal nations of
four continents.
Establishment of an arbitral court
to decide all questions of judicial
nature arising between nations.
Formation of commission of con-
citation TO mediate between arties
to controversy and recommend plan
of settlement.
Periodical conferences to agree
upon international law principles.
An agreement among all the mem
bers of the league that in case any
member should go to war with an
other without first appealing to the
arbitral court, all the other members
should unite to defend by force OF
arms the member attacked.

HIGH SCHOOL
NORMALS TEACH

The friends of the Lyon County
High School will be glad to know that
all the young ladies who took the Nor
NAL Course after graduating have Sc
cured schools. Miss Muriel Bernard

engaged at the Pyramid Lake school
in Washoe county. We were unable
to learn the school that secured the
services of Miss Anna Maxwell, but
are informed that she will teach dur
ing the coming year. These young
ladies have all done good work in
school and their many friends need
have no fear that they will be any

1t is a matter of disappointment that

High School will be represented in the
higher institutions of learning. Miss
Lora Lamberson and Miss Salome

the fomer classes, Linford Riley will
finish at the Nevada University this
year, Mason Johnston is a junior at
Berkeley, Miss Lucille Gallagher will
teach in Silver City, and Miss Edna
Schacht will teach the Wellington
schol. OF the Normal Glass the Misses
Bernard, Mcneil and Vaillencour have
taken schools, so it can be seen that
Lyon County High is beginning to be

GOLDSMITH DISTRICT IS
DEVELOPING BIG MINES

b. B. Shepherd, who has been pros
pecting and mining in the country
contiguous to Nina for number of
years, and who was one of the first
few men to secure locations in the new
Goldsmith district about 28 miles
northeast of Nina, has been in Reno
on business during the past week. He
expresses great confidence in the flu
ture of that camp as rich producer,
and says that development work is
making exceptionally good showings.
A hoist has just been installed by
Fred ]. Siebert, Ex-Governor Oddie
and associates, who recently took over
the Nelson property, on which excel
lent ore was found at surface. They
are doing energetic work and have a
shaft down about Is feet, the ore con-
tinuing to show good values. The
first payment was made on the prop
erty few days ago, and development
will be pushed more rapidly in the
future.
Mr.. Shepherd has some good
ground adjoining the Siebert proper
ty, and although he has not done much
development, he is confident that he
has the making of good mine.
The average values in that district
are from 500 to $l00 per ton, but good
streaks of ore have been disclosed
that will run much higher. The val
ues are gold and silver. There are
quite number of properties and
leases in operation, practically all OF
which have good showings.

les and First Latin, the one depart
ment that is terror to shirkers, funk
ers and cutters. Mr.. Kline gave us
the first efficient conduct of this de-
partment for several years, and W.
may congratulate ourselves that there
has been no change.
Last year Telegraphy was taught,
much to the satisfaction of several,
but it is not known as yet whether
it will be possible to continue the
work this year. The efficient instruct
or, Mr.. Martin, will not be able to
leave the Office to take charge of the
class, and thus far we have not been
able to find anyone to take his place
1t is not known how many will en-
ter, although there is promise of quite
few. 1t might be mentioned that
there are several young ladies who
will attend if they can find places to
work for their board. Anyone desir-
ing the services of students will do
us favor by letting it be known.
In general we are hoping for good
year and to be able to show more
plainly that a good High School is
worth while.

Rev. Frank Summers will preach
his farewell sermon in the local Meth
dist Episcopal Church tomorrow.
He has filled this pulpit for the past
two years, succeeding the Rev. J. l.,
Collins, and has won many lifelong
warm friends by his able administra-
ton of the affairs of the Church. A
man of ability. modest and quiet in
manner, Mr.. Summers is man of

appointment to charge and this
honor has been awarded Mr.. Sum

no enemies behind him. He could not
be good pastor without being good
citizen. Being both it is with regret
that his friends, both in the church
and, bid him farewell and God-seed,
To whatever appointment he may be
sent he is commended with the GER
tainty that he will benefit the com
munity to which he may go.

WRITE and
SEE IF
They WILL

Everybody wants to see better
who live off of the community should
do their share toward its upkeep, eth
er through local taxation or by volun-
tary contribution
Our local business men have dug
down into their pockets again and
again for all sorts of laudable objects
in the way of contributions to Shis,
that and whatnof, and they will prob
ably continue to dig as long as they
remain in business.
Like the good old Jersey COW, they
have been "milked" so long and SO
often and for such varied purposes
that digging" has become almost sec
ond nature to them.
But there is one man who is rolling
in wealth that has been gathered in
from the rural districts, and that man
has yet to make his first dig. At any
rate, no one appears to have ever
heard of him contributing a single
penny for the alienation of local con-
ditions.
He is the mail order man, and it is
high time for him to dig.
Many of you have been sending him
your money for these many years,
depicting the financial condition of
your home community in order that
he and his may ride in expensive auto
mobiles and wear rich furs, laces and
diamonds.
He counts his wealth by the mil
lions, all contributed by his dear
friends from the country districts. A
few hundreds to him would be but a
drop in the bucket, yet it would mean
much to you if expended in improv-
ing the roads that you must travel in
earning your daily bread.
Now suppose each one of you good
people who have been handing your
hard earned money over to the mail
order man in the past just write him
a letter and tell him your roads are
sadly in need of repairs. just tell
him that when. the rains come and the
mud is deep, and traffic is difficult,
and it is hard for you to earn the
golden dollars that go to swell the
great wealth he can never spend.
Tell him that you have been his
friend in the past. Now ask him to
prove his mettle by becoming your
friend in the present, with few hun
dreds for better roads.
Ask him to dig" and dig deeply.
If he is your friend-if he cares a rap
for you-he will dig. But if he thinks
only of what he can squeeze out of
you, he won't dig.
Write him today, and see if he digs.
But in the meantime, just remember
that responsible merchants are ad-
vertsing in this paper. this week, and
other weeks, and that they will dupli-
cate the goods sold by the digless mail
order man quality for quality and dol
lar for dollar-and save you the
freight or express.
Show your loyalty by supporting
the dealer who supports you and
yours-Exchange

HOW THE
CoMSToCK
WAS NAMED

The finding of Americas richest ore
body, second only in production to
the gold reefs of the Rand, was an
accident due to an insufficient water
supply. Even the naming of it was
an accident, traceable to the over
whelming assurance and converse
tiorai powers of one Henry Thomas
Paige Comstock, skirmisher on the
flying wedge of exploration. The lode
which WI always bear his name might
with more fairness be called the
O'Reilly, the Mclaughlin or the
Grosch. By some it is claimed that
Allen and Hosea Grosch discovered
the out-croppings of the ledge; the
credit is generally accorded to Peter
O'Riley and Patrick Mclaughlin.
In the spring of 1859 came Peter
O'Riley and Patrick Mclaughlin, in
tending to locate somewhere i'll Six
Mile Canyon. There was nothing left
for them on the lower ground, and
rather than waste the trip they decid-
ed to try the mountain. They began
work in the bed of tiny stream fed
by spring in the rocks above. The
surface indications were not promis-
ing. aud in addition to this the stream
was not large enough to serve their
purpose. so they dug pit in order to
collect sufficient water to operate their
rocker
Noticing a change in the appear
ance of the soil from the bottom of
the pit, they dumped bucket OF it
into the rocker and washed it. The
gold was there in abundance shin
ing film on the rifles of the rocker
and with il a mass of heavy black
stuff which O'Riley and Mclaughlin
believed to be base metal of some sort
and worthless. They threw it away

OF course that was all he was after.

told the Irishmen what to do.

MANY STARS MAKE

Many Competitions In That District Make Coast Ath-
 leteS All Powerful

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 25.-While the great war precuded any interna- tional competition. the past year gen erally is considered to have been banner one for the amateurs through out the United States. and particu- larly for the Pacific coast. due to the Panama Pacific exposition. Thanks to the big fair. a greater number of high class national performers have visited the coast than at any other time in the history of it's athletics.
 That this has given the coast tremendous impetus in amateur ath- letics in all branches is the consensus of opinion and the result of the na- tional championships held in the expo sition stadium last summer has pretty thoroughly convinced all hands that the coast athlete must be reckoned with. His performances compared fla VOTably with those of his eastern brothers.
 The Pacific coast has been well rep resented in the roll of national and world champions by such names aS Mclaughlin, Johnston. Horine. Beeson. Drew, Kelly, and others. and there are many who think that this list would have been augmented had more cham pionship events been held within req sOnable reaching distance. The east practically has had a monopoly of them. It costs both time and money to get to them from here. The ac- quisition of the national tennis title is shining example of this.
