TONOPAH DESERVES
BEST FOOD PRODUCTS
IN PAST THIS CITY HAS BEEN
"MoTGAoE RAISER" FOR
FARMERS

The Bonanza for many months has
been Withholding its criticisms OF
various food products that come
into Tonopah 1t has long been
sort of slogan with growers and ship I
pers in southern California and in
the owens valley section to say Eat
all you can and what you cant eat
YOU can ship the remainder to Tono-
pah and Goldfeld," and they have
held quite true TO the text.
These two desert cities have suf-
fered long and patiently with this
imposition. We recall in the earlier
prosperous days Of Tonopah that the
hay growers of Bishop creek and
vicinity baled every available thing
about their ranches that was without
value with their hay and shipped IL
to Tonopah and received such fancy
prices for the same that they soon
designated Tonopah as the mort
gage raiser" and we were well en-
titled to the term. But persistent
dropping wears the stone. and per
sistent imposition has worn the pa
tience of the Tonopah dealers in par
ticular and the consumers generally.
Witness, recent carload shipments OF
apples from Bishop inferior general
ly and much of 1t classed as pig
feed" the latter being ground into
cider.
Tonopah contains a resident popu-
lation whose wage earners are better
maid as a whole than they are PAID
elsewhere, and there is more money
distributed among her people every
thirty days, per capita, than any
other community in the world. we
want the best, we have the money to
pay for the best
Owens valley, our nearest produc'
ing neighbor, is the best equipped
with soil, water and climate to sup
ply our many demands in fruits
berries and vegetables, and II there
was proper organization formed IN
the valley whose object would be TO
establish a packing house and ship
not only choice marketable fruits
vegetables. etc. and all packed in
attractive boxes and cartons, we
would soon be placing our orders
for the valley products, and the pro
hibition that is now on for Bishop
creek and Owens valley food stuffs
would be raised.
w. B. Sollender informs the editoi
Of this paper that there is a boarS
of trade in Bishop. and that Bishop
is the distributing point for thu
greater population Of Owens valley
and further that any poor shipment
of farm products of any description
out Of the valley and into the deser
cities or elsewhere is but refiec
ton on the valley and brings abou
unjust criticisms of the valleys rea

Muscle Shoals.

The announcement from Wash
inpton that the War Department
had recommended AN appropria'
ton of SIS, 7o1, 900 for the devel-
opment of Muscle Shoals in the
Tennessee river brought tidings
of great joy to the people OF the
Tennessee Valley, as it is taken
to mean that the government has
at last decided to recognize the
great water power of Muscle
Shoals. This amount, supple
mented by private capital to the
extent of approximately $4,000,
600, means a great awakening in
the Tennessee Valley, as 1t is
generally believed that private
capital is awaiting the final action
of Congress to join in with the
government III lllC dSNS'OP''
of this vast project. Engineers
having charge of the survey have
estimated that 600, 900 horse pow
er of electricity can be developed
at Muscle Shoals. This immense
power is greater than can be fur
nished anywhere in the United
States except Niagara. With the
development will come countless
industries to dot the banks of the
Tennessee River from Knoxville
to Shiloh and further down the
river, Sheffield, Florence, Tuscum
bia, Decatur, Athens, Huntsville
Scottsboro, Chattanooga, luka
Corinth and probably Memphis
Birmingham and Nashville.

great campaign which is to be in
augurated by the medical depart

TO MAKE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Recipe That Is Guaranteed to Produce
Joyous Twelve Month for Those
Who Follow Directions.

Take twelve fine, fullgrown
months, see that they are thor
oughly free from old memories of
bitterness, rancor, hate and jeal-
ousy; cleanse them completely
from every clinging spite; pick off
all specks of pettiness and little
ness; in short, see that these
months are free from all the past
have them as fresh and clean as
when they first came from the
great storehouse of Time.
Cut these months into thirty or
thirty-one equal parts. This
batch will keep for just one year.
Do not attempt to make up the
whole batch at one time $50 many
persons spoil the entire lot in this
way, but prepare one at time,
as follows:
Into each day put twelve parts
of faith, eleven of patience, ten of
courage, nine of work (some peo-
pie omit this ingredient and so
spoil the flavor of the resD, eight
of hope; seven of fidelity, six of
liberality, five of kindness, four
of rest (leaving this out is like
leaving the oil out of the salad
don't do iD, three Of prayer, two
of meditation and one we'll select
ed resolution. If you have no
conscientious scruples, put in
about a teaspoonful of good spir-
its, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly,
a sprinkling of play, and a heap
ing cupful of good humor.
Pour into the whole love ad
libitum, and mix with vim.
Cook thoroughly in a fervent
heat; garnish with a few smiles
and a sprig of joy; then serve
with quietness, unselfshress and
cheerfulness, and a Happy New
Year is a certainty.-Baltimore

thereby rapidly discharsing t. Since
prohibition deprived the state OF large
revenues from taxes on the msnufac-
turers of liquors and beer. the sinking
fund law was suspended. and payments
on the State debts stopped.
The present Legislature found that
there was deficH In State revenues
Of SLOPE 100000. Shost-time notes have
been given to cover that deficit. the
same to be converted into 3eyear
bonds next July. This will increase
the bonded indebtedness OF the state
to a total OF s12.5OO,oo0.0o.
Taxes have been largely increased.
The State Manufacturers Association,
in 1914, stated In It's report on Taxa
ton:
"There Is a tendency throughout
the State TO increase taxes on an
already overburdened people. both
by constant increase OF the assess.
ment as we'll as the rate"
Since that report was made, the
Legislature has passed new Revenue
and Assessment Act, increasing many
kinds of taxes from 40 to 100 per cent.
the entire Ak burden being nearly
twice what it was before prohibition
went into effect.
In 1908. the year before Statewide
prohibition was adopted, the cost OF
criminal prosecutions in Tennessee
was $15S,OOo0O. According to official
figures submitted to the Legislature
that has just adjourned, S342, 100000
was expended for criminal prosecu-
tons last year. This shows an in
crease OF nearly 100 per cent in crime
in six years under prohibition.
The city of Nashville recently issued
bonds for $685., 100000 to cover deficit
caused largely by the operation Of the
prohibition law. The other large cities
of the State are in a similar financial
condition, due to the same causes.
In Tennessee. prohibition has not
helped the taxpayer. nor has it inn
proved moral conditions. Exactly the
reverse has been the result. Large
numbers of extra officeholders, and
greatly Increased expenses for their
support and for prosecuting violations
of the law, are the main features of
present conditions.
Blind tigers, bootleggers and moon
have taken the place, of law
full, regulated liquor traffic; there has
been a steady increase in all crimes;
moral standards have been lowered;
and TAXES HAVE DOUBLED.
