BANK CL[ARINGS ON
THE INCREASE NOW

COLUMBUS, Ga, May 26.-The In
dustrial Index says in its issue for
this week:
THE steady and large increases
that are being made in bank clearings
in practically every portion of the
Southeast reflect the great and grow
ing construction and industrial ac-
tivity and the large volume of bust
ness generally.
Cities and counties are doing a
vast amount of construction work,
and private building enterprise is
fully keeping pace.
An interesting item showing the
character of much of the residence
construction in some Florida cities is
that winter resident of Miami is
preparing to erect a residence in the
midst of grounds which he has been
identifying for the purpose for three
years.
"A banking and trust company has
been organized in Miami with capital
stock of $150,OOO. A trust company
has been formed in Albany, Ca, with
capital stock of 100000, and a trust
company is being organized in Macon,
Ga, with capital stock of $4,000 to
100000.
"A contract has been awarded in
Palm Beach county, Fla, for the
construction of roads at a cost of
$751; 800.
"A total of thirty-four corporations
were formed in the week, with mimi
mum capital stocks aggregating ST.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
II Your Back is Aching or Bladder
BOtherS, Drink Lots of Water.
and Eat Less Meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts, which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
tivity. The function of the kidneys is
to filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
tie vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of Water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass Of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
a few days, and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and slim
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys celan and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of yonr kidney trouble and
backache.

An Anti Crow
ROOst Must Be
Installed Now
J45,500."

ATLANTI4, Ca, May 26.-Roosters
growing at night are such disturb
ance to the slumbers of the people that
city council has been petitioned to pass
az ordinance requiring all owners of
BOOSTERS to install anti-crowing roost.
And what, pray, is an anti-crowing
rooster roost?
An anti-crowing rooster roost, Cen
tel Reader, is continuance invented in
the city of Boston, where the American
intellect is supposed to have reached
its finest perfection, and used there for
1any years in accordance with a city
ordinance
A rooster cannot crow unless he lifts
his head and flaps has wings. There
fore, if you put him on a roost with a
plank above his head, he will sit there
quietly all night and the people can
sleep without disturbance.
Inasmuch as the city council of At
lanta believes in being strictly up to
date in all things, the ROSTERS of this
city had better do their growing while
the crowings good.

GRAY HAIR DARK
Look Young! Nobody Can Tell ii You
Use GrandmOther's Simple Re-
cipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
t. get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe,
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
Youthful appearance 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.

Tonopah Has
Some Big Payroll

Everybody is happy. This is pay
day and the day of settlement for all
mining bills contracted in the district.
At least $475,OO0 was disbursed today
to employees and supply houses, and
the long string of men standing in
front of the paying windows OF each
bank kept the tellers busy reducing
the piles of bills and gold stacked up
for the OCCASION The amount was in
excess of the previous month owing
to an increase in the number OF men
employed.
With the resumption of activity on
the Great Western sinking on the
West Tonopah and the addition of
men to the force cf the Monarch next
months payroll will show still
greater gain.-Bcnanza.

Reno Team Wants
to Even Up Things

Smarting under the defeat they re-
ceived at the hands of the Carson
baseball team a couple of weeks ago,
the Gray, Reid-Wright bunch have ar
ranged for a return game in this city
next Sunday at Valley park. The
boys are coming with blood in their
eye and are prepared to put up game
that will test the nerve of the Car
sonites.
The Reno bunch expect to be ac-
companied by big crowd of home
boosters and for their convenience
have chartered a special train, which
will leave the riverside city early Sum
day morning and return late in the
afternoon.
The Carson nine which will play
on the occasion will consist practi-
cally of the aggregation which de-
feated the Renoites two weeks ago.
and as they have kept in continuous
practice since that time they will be
in the best of form Sunday, so an ex-
citing game may be looked for.

Nevada daRepresentatives Make Strong
Plea Before Commerce Commission

probably would not be disposed to re-
open the matter upon the basis OF a
temporary condition. Meeting this
assumed attitude of the commission,
the representatives OF the internoun-
tain states urged that the present con-
ditions were not temporary i'll the or
binary business sense. That all bust
ness is temporary by comparison
with things in nature.
One of the witnesses testifying
against any change admitted on cross
examination that he knew of no bust
ness that could be said to be perma-
nent in the sense that it would have
material and important changes with
in the period OF one year.
1t was pointed out to the commits
sion that the conditions upon which
the new order had been made had
been proved to be temporary and had
completely changed within the short
period of nine months.
1t was urged strongly by the repre-
sentatives of the intermountain coun-
try that the coast cities had no stand
ing to be heard in the matter. be-
cause the only way they could posi-
bly, be injured would be by depriving
them OF preferential rates. something
to which no community is Justly en-
titled.
AS for the railroads it was urged
upon the commission that they were
ir the enjoyment OF a special privi-
lege or an exemption from the general
rue, and that such spe cial privile ges
and exemptions are not favored by
the courts. That the burden rested
upon the railroads at all times to
show a continuance OF the conditions,
upon the basis of which they had been
specially favored This they had net
done
Counsel for the Nevada commission
very pointedly suggested that ii the
prayer Of the petition were not grant
ed, the denial must be based upon the
imagination of the Interstate Com
merce commissioners rather than
proved facts.
No case could have been more
clearly and sctrorgly made in favor
OF any rate proposition than was the
one made by the Intern ountain :.sates
1T this hearing
The feeling is quite general among
tire representative o. that section
that in the event of the Interstate
Commerce commission refusing to
rhould be made tc. congress for an
absolute long and short haul law.

Chairman Bartne OF the Nevada
Railroad commission returned to the
city this morning, and UPON being in
terviewed By a representative o the
Appeal, gave the following brief
statement of the proceedings before
the Interstate Commerce commission,
which was the occasion OF the trip OF
himself and Commissioner Shaugh-
messy to Washington.
The case came up on the applica-
tion Of the Nevada commission, ana
Also the Merchants association OF Spo-
kane, afterwards joined in by the COM
missions oi Arizona, New Mexico,
Idaho, and the commercial interests
OF Utah for modification or COM
plctc cancellation soi the existing or
der which allows the railroads reach'
ing the coast to make certain reduced
rates to coast terminals, without a
corresponding reduction at the IN
terror points, where the haul is
shorter.
The present order was made upon
the basis Of showing, that after the
opening of the Panama cana. there
was q very large increased water ccm-
petition by that route from coast to
coast The testimony introduced at
Washington showed that since last
September, as result OF the great
slides in the canal, coupled with the
changed commercial conditions all
over the world, water& competition
through the canal had been practical
~ wiped out, and further, that there
>was no prospect OF resumption Of
TIE coast to coast traffic on large
scale through that waterway or the
next two years, and perhaps longer.
The evidence was as clear and con-
elusive as it could possibly have been
made. Before the proceeding began
it was intimated that the commission

Reservation Hill
Promising Property

Another one of the promising min
ing propositions that was inspected
in the early days OF the week, when a
number OF Carsonites visited the
Mountain View mining district. Ger
roneously called the Sehurz district
in yesterdays sAppeal) was the Reser-
vation Hill property, controlled by
VIII Casson and associates of this
city
This property is located about three
miles from Reservation station on the
Nevada California railroad, and is ap-
preached by a fairly good road lead
irg up the canyon.
Two claims comprise the group, the
end line OF one abutting that of the
other and giving approximately 5000
feet along the immense ledge which
traverses the ground. This ledge, ap-
parently, has a width Of over zoo
feet between walls on the surface
and may properly be termed big de-
posit. No part of it under test fails
to return values. Two shafts have
been sunk on the Pinto claim. No.
having been dropped to a depth Of
46 feet, when water coming ill., with
no adequate means at hand to con-
troll it, compelled cessation OF work,
but at that depth a pay shoot was
revealed showing twenty one inches
of high grade silverlead ore. Work
was then started on shaft higher up
the hill and depth OF over seventy
feet has been attained. 1t is expected
that twenty or thirty more feet will
reach the shoot exposed in shaft No.
|, and if it shows the same strength
and value as found at that point it
will add tremendously to the worth
of the ground and give considerable
area from which ore can be extracted.
Altogether the property looks promis-
promising, and with the required
amount Of development accomplished
it should enter the shipping class.
