rcspOndence lit is as certain that
New York state will go republican
this fall as it is that Woodrow Wilson
will change his mind the next time
he changes his shirt, declares George
r. Peck, retired editor and political

"The treatment which Tammany has
received at the hands Of President
Wilson has estranged that organiza-
tion beyond hope Of reconciliation.
The business men are disgusted with
Mr.. Wilson's high handed tactics; the
farmers appreciate what competition
with Canada means because Of a tar
if law which put all their products
on the free list, and they complain
] bitterly of the decentralization Of the
rural free delivery service; and what
Mr. Wilson is pleased to call the man
in the street believes the President
to be a poor, deludod victim Of his own
rhetoric, or, as Gladstone would have
put it, intoxicated with the exubor-
ance of his own vgrbos5ty.' We call
him Woodrow Wilson.
Martin Glynn, our former demo-
cratic governor, wanted to come to
the senate. He worked his head off
preparing the keynote speech for the
St Louis convention in which he en-
dowed Wilson with spotless wings
and capped him with "a celestial crown.
Does he get the presidential support
for the United States senate? Not so
it is visible to the naked eye! But VIII
son is supporting Westcott, Of New
Jersey, who is trying to trim MARITIME
I for the denl6erae.s senatorial nonIi-
nation. and Westcott's arduous duty
at St. Louis consisted Of nominating
the Great Nacillator for second
term. ! don't believe Martin would
kiss Mr.. Wilson now.
Il understand that Representative
4 Fitzgerald, our sole and only commit
tee chairman from the North wanted
his district leader appointed U. S.
marshal, and he went to the White
/ House 10 ask it Of the President Mr.
Wilson declared that under no condi-
tion whatsoever would he appoint a
district leader to such a position.
Later on he did appoint three dis
trict leaders of New York as U. S.
marshals. Fitzys man thought he had
been triflcd with, and began to strop
his razor for Fitzgerald. For a time
/ it looked as If John wasn't going to
have look in for reelection, but he
has proved to the satisfaction Of his
henchman that he did all l.e could to
bring his appointment about, and
now the carving will be done on the
political anatomy of 'Wordrow'
Senator O'Gormon is hot under
the collar because congress is going
to double the income tax. He believes
that New York state has been taxed
about enough, and considering that
my state paid s68,OOO,OOO Of the S2O9 r.
900 600 collected from the war tax,
corporation and income taxes, quite
agree with him. We do not relish the
idea of being taxed to build southern

The harvest moon will lightly sail
the seas of gossamer at night, and
silken tilaments will veil the glory of
the morning light. The quail will tuno
his piccalo for odes to beauty still TO
come, and in the dusk's soft after
glow the pheasant cock will roll his
drum. There is no other season quite
the same to men the world around. 1t
is that wonderful respite to which our
hopes are ever bound. 1t matters not
how hot the days, or how the bugs
may bite us up, we need but think
Of Autumn's haze, and all things bit
ter leave the cup. 1t was the same
when Homer smote his somewhat cell
ebrated Tyre; though Fall was prob
ably remote, it still sustained his
magic fire. He might have one hand
off the strings to slap mosquitoes with
at night, and still could give his fancy
wings with thinking of this vision
bright. The cave man by his pale
blue flame, the modern in his limous-
inc, have all felt pretty much the
same when Fall came waltzing on the
scene.

this district and has a host Of friends
wherever he is known. His high stand
ing at the bar insurcs his being well
qualified for the position he seeks and
his well known sterling republicanism
gives him much popularity as a can
didate. II nominated his election will
surely follow.

But be it as it maybe must,
The presidential race will boom,
And heated repartee will thrust
Its angry lightning through the
gloom.
While one contestant points with
pride
And show the way past any harm.
The other, greatly Mortified,
Will view with spasms of alarm
It does beat all how cool and calm
We can remain despite the zeal
Of those alone who know the balm
For ills the future may conceal.
1t may be it is 50 because
We have no jobs ourselves in sight,
But Judging by the great applause
Both men, at any rate, are right.

At any rate, the war Of kings will
rage with unabated zest, and those
who fight on all the wings will try
to do their level best. 1t may be here
and there a man will wonder what il
is about; it may not fit in any plan Of
good that he can figure out. 1t may
TO him occur that men were meant
for something more than war, or seem
to be beyond his ken exactly what
they're fighting for; but now he has
his dander up and shells are popping
overhead, he is as good a son of
Krupp as ever hustled steel and lead.
The way Of kings is sly enough-they
first fall out from throne to throne.
the which precipitates huff and peo-
pie make the cause their own. 1t is
as if each monarch bore his people
underneath his vest, as rooster fight
ers seek the gore Of whatsoever will
contest. They blithely bear them TO
the pit, equipped with spurs and
trained to fight and then sit by and
laugh at it as il it were their royal
fight.

Then sweet October will resume,
With charms past all defining,

The first twenty-five days of Sep
tember will be under the influence Of
Leo the Lion, the fifth sign Of the
zodiac. Persons born in this period
are very brave and usually have to
be dragged into recruiting stations.
The last eight days Of the month will
be influenced by Virgo, the sixth sign.
Virgo people are a cautious lot, and
are usually found in a seat near
fire escape. On the 22d the sun will
cross the equator, and the Autumnal
Equinox will occur. This officially
opens the campaign and puts sweet
cider on sale. The moon will be full
on the l1th. Col. Roosevelt will not
go out on the trail of the democrats
seriously until there is a light frost
which will hardly be before the 25th.
Venus will conduct a display in the
west sky every evening that is calcu-
lated to show Pancho Villa where he
can find us whenever he wants TO
give up.

BIG DEAL ON COMSTOCK
PLANNED FOR NEAR
FUTURE

The San Francisco Bulletin says
that "Rumors that will not down, rel
ative to impending announcements of
i big deal affecting the Comstocks
are in circulation in mining circles.
1t is known that several important
conferences have been held of late,
and that plans of unusually large scope
are under discussion 1t is known
that preparations for the lowering OF
the water in the northern mines from
the 200 to the 1900 level are prac-
tically complete, and that a syndicate
has been formed to rehabilitate the

Valley and Buestone Getting Things
the future
SOUTHERN PACIFIC BUYS
MASON VALLEY POTA.
TOES FOR DINERS

c. B. Brown, travelling freight agent
for the Southern Pacific Company,
was in Yerington last Wednesday.
His object was to secure Mason Val
ley potatoes for use on the transcon-
mental dining cars of the road. He
stated that the Mason Valley potatoes
were the best the company could
procure, and that they had made care
ful investigation before making Sc
lection. The diner service of the
Southern Pacific is unsurpassed by
any of the great railroads of the coun-
try has attractions equal to those of
that nothing is too good for its pa
irons. This has given the road great
prestige for winter travel from the
east to the coast which is assuming
gigantic proportions. The people who
before the war spent much of their
time in Europe are beginning to
awake to the fact that our own coun-
rv has attractions equal to those OF
he old world. The ideal potato to
bake is the one that when served is
white and mealy in appearance, and
possesses a distinct flavor. There
is hothing more palatable than a
we'll baked potato, and othing more
appetite destroying than one that is
soggy and tasteless. 1t was the
spreading fame of the Mason Valley
product that brought Mr.. Brown to
Yerington, and he was gratihed to
find what a beautiful spot 1t Is.
The resources, agricultural and min
eral, just beginning to be developed
are UNSURPASSED in the country. They
are bound to attractattention of home
seekers throughout the country, ana
many will come to look the country
over as a result of the advertising
gained by the quality of the potatoes
on the diners. Not only for potatoes
is the county becoming famous but
its poultry and other produce is IN
demand the moment its source IS
known.

Yerington has been on its toes
for the past ten days. Notwithstand
ing the vast potentialities of her cop
per deposits the district has been con
tending for several years with the in
evitable depression that followed the
suspension of the smelter Last week
when it was given out that the smelt-
er would reopen, and that not only
the Mason Valley and Nevada Doug
las would attack their ores, but the
Bluestone would also deliver ore at
Thompson, more life was galvanized
into the district than has been visible
for long time Yerington has the
copper, and she knows it. She also
knows that real mining and reduction
will soon begin, and that before long
she will figure among the big copper
districts of the country.
While some here say the Delamar
interests have not contracted for de
livery of Bluestone ore to the smelt-
er, the fact that the Copper Belt rail-
road company has recently surveyed
a spur to the Bluestone estate is ta-
ken as significant indication that
the Bluestone will not lie idle. The
Copper Belt is not running for the
fun of it, and the present activity il
Bluestone circles indicates that the
Delamar interests will not further
overlook the temptation of copper al
80 cents, with a possibility of IS cents
All efforts upon the part of the
Gum Thompson interests to obtain q
contract for the delivery of fixed
tonnage from the Bluestone proved
unsuccessful, according to the inside
stories that are going about Finally
the former concluded to operate any
how, whether the Bluestone crowd
came into the game or not, but very
reasonable smelling charge was of
fered to the Delamar interests and il
is certain that this has been accepted

ANNE MARTIN DENIES
THAT SHE RECEIVED
PAY FOR HER PO.
u|T|CAL WORK

~ tHS Cuilol VI tHe eTlnBtOn
Times, Yerington, Nevada.
Dear Mr.. Hauser:
The charge published by certain
Democratic newspapers that the Ma
tional Woman's party and that
have been paid by the Republican
party, | found no time to answer dur
ing the campaign just closed. Just
why it is considered al crime for
women to be paid for honorable po
litical work when men and newspa-
pers are practically always paid for
it, | have been unable to fathom
Our opponents have found no better
argument against the justice of our
cause than these statements they evi
IDENTIFY regard as damning to our
characters, and so libelous, judging
by the persistence with which this
single accusation against the Nation
al Woman's Party has been circulated
by certain Democratic newspapers.
| am taking this means of answer
ing this charge, which still persists il
papers controlled by Senator Pitt
ma, although sense of fairnes
should suggest that campaign lie
against women cease, now that the
campaign is over, r,and the necessity for
them no longer exists.
As to this charge, the chairman OF
the National Republican Committee
and of the Republican committees OF
every one of the suffrage states, must
certify, as men of honor, that they
contributed nothing to the campaign
fund of the National Woman's party
or toward my own expenses. To those
Democrats who have found no better
answer to our appeal for the. national
enfranchisemet of women than those
fabrications, we suggest that they Sc
cure a certified copy of the financial
report of the National Woman's
Party, which will be filed with the
Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives within thirty days after election
in accordance with the act of Con.
gress regulatig the expenditures OF
all national political parties. This
report is open to public inspection.
Also, the list of our campaign con-
tributions accompanied by the names
of the donors, is published each week
in our official organ, the "Suffragist,
a capy of which has been sent weekly
to every newspaper Office in Nevada
AS to the statement that | have
ben paid for my work, if my word is
not enough, the books and reports OF
the National Woman's Party, the
financial report of the Republican
State Committee, not only of Ne
ada but of every other suffrage
State, will show that | am on no ones
payroll.
The books of the Nevada Equal
Franchise Society show not only that
my services were given to the three
years campaign for political freedom
of Nevada women, ending slccess-
fully in November, 1914, but that
gave more than $500 of my personal
income to pay the expenses OF that
campaign. Senator Newlands gave
$1,000, and Senator Pittman contrib
uted $50.
Woman's Party mas maintained its
political integrity as Separate par
~ working for its single plank, the
nat onal acknowledgement of women;
it has also maintained its financial
integrity and independence in the
successful campaign just closed,

An ERA OF PROSPERITY
ABOUT To BEGIN
IN MASON
VALLEY

he Keno OdZetle contains the fOl-
lowing whish, if correct, will cheer
the heart fevery resident of Lyon
county as well as the western part
OF tn State generally:
Charles d. Reading, consulting en-
gineer for Capt Delamar, arrived in
Reno Tuesday and Immediately start
ed a force of en- in the Bluestone
mine in Mason Valley district TO
hasten the work OF preparing for a
production OF LOCO to l,200 tons per
day, which Delamar has contracted
to deliver to the Mason Valley smelt-
er at Thompson. He brought with
him from Porcupine in Canada sev
eral trusted employees, among them
Tom Mcnamara, formerly connected
with the Consolidated at Goldfeld
who will be superintendent of the
mine.
The Bluestone is one of the bis
mines OF the Mason Valley district
in the matter OF ore developed Mr.
Kaeding states that he mine has
been sampled repeatedly by the would
be purchasers as we'll as by the own
ers' engineers, and is known to con
tain l,250O0o tons of ore that is
blocked out and ready for extraction.
The ore all lies above the main tun
mel, and can be mined very cheaply
The first work to be done is to build
a tranway and two miles of railroad
to connect with the Copper Belt rail
road, which runs from the Nevada
Douglas company's mines to thc
smelter at Thompson.
Work already has been started OF
the railroad. which is to be standard
gauged and equipped with standard
self-dumping gondola cars 1t vii
have rather steep grade, and will
use a Heisler cog-wheel locomotive
which has been purchased. From the
portal of the tunnel track will be laid
for a tramway 1900 feet long to the
terminus of the railroad, where huge
ore bins will be built. Electricity vii
provide the motive power for the
tram. which vii connect in the tun
mel with ore chutes. An air compress
sor is being installed, and machine
drills will be employed in mining OPP
erations.
Later we may construct a concen
trating plant of some sort to treat
the low grade ores" said Mr.. kaed
ing, but for the present we will de
vote our energies to the extraction
of ore for the smelter, in order to take
advantage of the high prices now pre-
vailing for copper. We have mad'
tests and find that our sulphide ores
with the addition of some other sui
nb;des. Aux nicely with the carbon
ate and oxidized ore from the Ma
son Valley companys mines The
Mason Valley Company, l am in
formed. has about 100000 tons of ore
developed in its own mines and plans
to supply the smelter with SUI tons
per day. The present capaicty OF the
two furnaces, believe, is about l,9ot
tons per day. We expect to have our
construction work all completed by
the last of February, and to be ready
then to deliver the ore"
Mr.. Kaeding has spent much OF his
time in Porcupine, where Capt. Della
mar is heavily interested in the Dome
gold mine. He says that Canadians
expect the war to last two years
longer, and he believes that the great

NEWLANDS TO
LEAD INVESTIGATION
OF TRANSP0RTA-
T|ON MATTER


joint Congressional committee to in
vestigate railroad problems, Senator
Francis G.. Newlands of Nevada, the
chairman, explained that the inquiry
woIld cover wide field. He said :.
1T will relate to evey phase OF the
transportation question, the rail car
rer, the river carriers and the ocean
carriers and the perfection of har-
monous system of transportation en-
bracing rail, river, and ocean carriers
that will meet the demand of inter-
state as we'll as foreign commerce
and it will also be applied to tele-
graph and telephone lines, express
companies and other public utilities.
1T will embrace not only the sub
ject Of government control and regu-
lation of thees utilities, but also the
wisdom and feasibility of government
ownership and operation.
Senator Newlands said that con-
clusion will be more quickly arrived
at "if we have the sympathetic aid of
practical men who for years have
been conversant with the practical
side of the transportation question,
of the economists and publicists, OF
railway executives and worlleFs of
commercial bodies, farmers and man
ufacturers and shippers generally"
Referring to government ownership
he said
"Other nations far advanced in civ
ilization have adopted the system.
Recently under the stress of war, al
most all European governments have
taken over the railways. 1t demon
strates that in conditions of great cri-
ses when autocratic powers must be
given to the government all intelli-
gent governments drift toward abso-
lutte and complete operation of the
roads as the only solution of the
question.
If we pursue the exercise and the
study of government regulation wise
ly, persstently and neergetically, we
may create such system OF regula-
ton as will meet every requirement,
both in time of peace and of war and
in exigcncy of crisis.
But it seems to be wise thing for
the government to ascertain now the
history of the countries that have
adopted government ownership and
operation of railroads and to watch
the experience of the European
countries in this great war in this re-
gard.
"In this connection will come the
question of the method of taking over
the railroads. Shall it be accom-
plished by an actual valuation of the
railways and condemnation of them,
or shall they be taken over by the
easier method of taking over the
stocks and the bonds at their market
veual, thus at one step having the ma
tional government take the position
of stockholder and security holder in
theese great corporations"
Strikes as a means of settling labor
disputes, Senator Newlands charac
terized as "the most barbaric and
brutal of processes"
Hours and wages of employees
must be considered carefully, Sen
ator Newlands declared, because "the
burdens which constitute the operat-
ing expenses of these corporations
are in time transferred to the ship
pers.

1t seems likely that the Supreme
Court will undergo an almost COM
plete change during the incumbency
of Woodrow Wilson in the White
House. Already he has appointed
Justices McReynolds' Brandies, and
Clark. Three Justices, White, Nc
Kenna and Holmes, have passed the
age Of retirement. Moreover, JUS
tice Day is in very poor health, and
is considered unlikely that he will
continue on the bench four years lon
ger. Out of nine members of the
Court, therefore,
.,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>~~s ~~s~~~~~s~~s>~~~sese~~
posals to reorganize the interstate
commerce commission and to create
federal agencies which might supplant
state authorities in exercising control
over railroad financing. He said:
"The question will be considered as
to whether the commission is now
overloaded and if so whether this
shou be met by relieving it of many
of the supervising and administrative
duties which it now exercises or by
charging and subdividing and subdi-
viding it SO as to enable it to meet
the strain of its various duties.
Another qlestion of Importance
that will come up will be the question
of the control of railway and other
public utility securities. As it is most
of the state public utility commits
sioners are regulating the issues of
securities upon the railroads within
the boundaries of the state over which
each has jurisdiction.
