Colonel J. A. Everett OF Fairmont
has announced himself as a candidate
for the legislature from Martin coun-
ty. He said in his announcement
card:
L hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the house of represen-
tatives on a non- partisan ticket Some
of my reasons for this are as follows:
Having been persistently importuned
Tin my dl eams) to run for governor,
| have given the matter a great deal
Of thought To run for governor, one
must belong ard be responsible to
some party, while in the legislature
be IS responsible to nobody or moth
Ing but his own desires and can do as
he pleases
Then, to declare for any party or
any definite set of principles would
surely lose me some votes, and l
want votes and want them bad AS
a candidate for the legislature / can
publish one set of principles for the
public, but privately, can promise any
thing that seems likely to get votes,
feeling assured that most OF these
promises Will be forgotten after cleo
tion
Another reason for aspiring to be
your representative instead of COVER
nor is because / can do the dear
people more good by passing good
laws than by executing the fool laws
we now have. Having reached this
decision, and being the tool of none
of the old corrupt parties it becomes
necessary to state the principles on
which l rely to get your votes:
First: | am for the dear people
and hereby solemnly pledge myself
to work in their interest at all times,
when their desires do not conflict
with my own,

From Wednesdays Daily.

An interesting fact about our
brightly hued Easter raiment and
spring and summer apparel in gen.
eral is the remal kable difference in
price for the same material when III
different shades and colorS. Jonn
Koch of the George +. Brett store
received a line of samples of new
cotton fabric, which is to be one OF
the leaders for summer, direct from
the mills this morning, with a letter
of explanation in regard to the
variation in prices. The material was
the same in all samples and was
grouped in three classes of colors.
The original cost per yard for the
natural shades is listed at $1.30, the
paler shades of blue, and rose and
tan were listed at thirty-five cents
more per yard, the darker shades of
the same colors came listed at an
advance of seventy cents, and the
very dark shades at an advance of
$120 over the original cost, be-
ing listed at 50. 80 per yard. The
letter of explanation accompanying
the samples stated that the prices
advanced on account of the scarcity
of dyes and the high prices which
the mills were paying, some of the
better dyes costing sos per pound.
Artists are also finding difficulties in
getting the shades of paints which
they require in their work, and re-
Gently when a certain shade of pur-
pie was no longer to be had bright
nd diCnnunpnH hot of q
indelible pencils would produce the
very shade needed, so a man was
sent out who bought up all the in
delible pencils which he could find
on the market. Cotton goods have
advanced in price, and will probably
continue to do so. The rougher grades
of cotton are being used as wadding
in the guns of war and each time a
shell is fired it uses up more cotton
than it takes to fill three comforters
The United States is supplying Eng
land and France with cotton at the
present time, and may soon require
some for her own service. The cot
ton growers of the south will not be
able TO raise as much cotton this
year. as the fields must be enriched
with potash fertilizer each year in
order to raise good crop, and most
of the potash has been coming here
from Germany. This supply being
now practically cut off, and the pot
ash mine in America, recently dis
covered, not having yet been worked
to full capacity, means that the cot
ton crop will be quite meager this
year

AMERICAS AMAZING WEALTH

Never before did the National

March z, and they reach the I'M
imaginable total of $13, $685. 00, 900.
That is 1910, OOO, 900 more than the
highest previous record. As COM
pared with one year ago it is an in
crease of 2,271, 600, 900.
Controller Williams says: 1.-THE
total resources of the national banks

of 81 1873, 900. 900 in one year. 1t

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT



Las Vegas Age: Clark County faces
a very serious catastrophe nothing
less than threatened refusal of a not
ed actor, author and booze-fighter
to accept any longer his daily bread
at the county poor farm. The tense
situation was brought about by the
action of the county board in posting
the names of indigents in the saloons.
thus robbing them of their inalien-
able right to get drunk when they
can get the price. There seem to be
but two courses open to the county
either revoke the order, or establish
a booze emporium as an adjunct to
the county farm. The idea of ex-
pecting a distinguished gentleman
such as is referred to above. to earn
his own grub is too horrible to con-
template.
