Well, all these things depend on

whether it must watch in terror big

Once man named Patrick Henry

about them all and to realize that
they are all here in this territory,

do we realize the power of Old Glory,
and we know that we should not have
to fight another scout, out that all

Hawaii as a whole-as a part of the

HEARD AROUND kAIMUkI HEAD
-. j." QUARTERS

Several of our Scouts have gotten
it into their heads that they want to
transfer. Well, if they do We will give
it to them but just consider it for a
moment and then form your con-
illusions. Think of your Scoutmaster
working his head off to teach you
Scouting and then after you have
learned little, which has cost him
many trying hours to teach you, then
you go and transfer. 1t isn't fair to
the troop or to the ScOutmaster, and
remember that a Scout is fair and
loyal. Now then, you Scouts, think
this over and then il you think it is
o. K, why then go ahead and transfer.
We have two new Scouts in our
troops now. They are William Reeves
and Charles Reeves. They joined last
Friday evening and have promised us
that they will be ready to pass their
tests at the next meeting
We are making a large picture

P. D. INSPECTOR
ASKS FOR BIDS
TEN YEAR LEASE ON PRESENT
LOCATION HAS EN-
PRED

w. w. Marshall, a p~ostoffice de-
partment inspector, has been in Gold
field for several days investigating
the local situation in preparation for
advertising for bids on premises
and equipment to be leased by the
department for the next five or 10
years. The 10-year lease on the
present quarters will expire on July
2S and bids will be received up to
and including April so. The inspect
or incidentally checked up the work
of the clerks and found the Goldfield
office to be in perfect condition.
1t will be necessary for all bids
to include modern box equipment, the
boxes now in use in the local office
being of a type no longer accepted
by the department. To render the
present boxes safe after being clos
ed it is necessary that the combina-
ton be thrown each time. In the
new type of box the door is simply
closed, the combination being auto
matically thrown, the possibility of
mail being stolen from boxes used by
careless persons being obviated.
The inspector states that there are
now about 1000 boxes rented in
Goldfeld and that not to exceed 1850
will be required in the new equip
ment. Some manufacturers of post
office box equipment make boxes
which are rented or leased to lessees
of postoffice premises and it is fire.
quently possible to obtain the equip
ment second hand, as when post
offices move into government-owned
buildings the old equipment is
abandoned.
The government keeps a record of
this equipment and is interested in
furnishing it under rent or lease to
owners of quarters available for a
p%ostoffice, as in this way better
terms may be secured than if the
equipment were purchased new by
the owners.
The department takes leases only
in five and 10-year terms. 1t is
necessary hat the quarters be well
lighted, centrally located and IN
tain approximately 1000 feet of floor
space.
1t is not thought hat the p~ostoffice
will be moved from it's present loca
ton, as it is believed the owners
of the premises will meet all require
ments.

PROSPECTOR LEAVES FOR
OLD CAMP OF MOREY

George Woods, old-time prospec-
tor and operator of the Goldfield
district, will leave tomorrow for
Morey. Nye county, where he will
inaugurate development upon a
group of four claims. The section
in question, one of the oldest min

home of many silver producers of

perity. lies 1875 miles northeast of
Tonopah, and has lately sprung into
considerable popularity. The fact

No Chance For System

w. A. Burr, sales manager Of
the Nevada Engineering and Sup
ply company, was in Gardnerv1lle
a few days ago and turned over to
members of the fire department
data he had gathered in connection
with the cost of the proposed pipe
line from the dam at Gardnerville,
owned by the Douglas Power COM
pany. When the proposition of a
pipe line was first talked of by
members of the fire department it
was estimated that the cost would
be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Burr's final estimate was $4,000.
This renders impossible the con-
struction of the proposed system.

Manhattan Is Prosperous

There is not a single vacant house
in the town of Manhattan and rents
are kiting owing to the better de-
mand from families willing to pay
well for housekeeping quarters.
Rents range from SIS to $50 a
month and hotels are filled to ca
pacity. A new hotel is about to be
started. Furniture has been taken
from the old Casey hotel at Gold
field. The cost of living does not
cut as much figure in the camp
as it does elsewhere, as there is a
splendid supply of nearly all COM
modities right at the back door of
the town. The Smoky valley ram
cheers bring in fine beef that is
sold at less than Tonopah prices.

the crusted snow, and still hold their
employers in high esteem. That is
the sort of a bunch that Wittenberg

of the Amalgamated, have in their

But in a little while the spring
breeze will be signing through the
