WILL GO ON CASH BASIS.

The National Association of Credit
Men, the largest business organiza-
tion in the country. has made an ap-
peal to every retail merchant in the
country to require his customers to
pay cash for food stuffs and for the
daily necessities of the home This
appeal has been supplemented by the
National Food Commission in order
that the cost of living may be re-
duced as much as possible by elim-
mating unnecessary expenses and
losses from bad accounts. 1t is es-
timated that this change from the
credit to a strictly cash system will
effect a saving of about one billion
dollars yearly for the whole coun-
try, and it is being adopted by the
wholesalers and iobbers.
In keeping with the above recon-
mendations the City Market has de-
basis the first of the year, and to

sTALwART IOLO PIONEER
HAS CROSSED DIVIDE

II Comins, one oil the stalwart
oId nioneers of the western country
nassed away at his Murry street home
on Wednesday last in the eighty
first year of his oge.
Senator Comins was one of the
most highly respected citizens of Ne
vada and had made his home in
white Pine county for about 40
wears. He was one OF the most ac-
live and energetic men in the coun-
try and the result of his labor dur
ing his most useful career will be
felt for all time to come.
He came to Nevada In 1853, settl
ing In Empire city. He engaged in
the lumber business and later follow
cd that line in the camps of Hamil-
TON. Ward and Cherry Creek during
the DAYS of wild mining eycitment
in those historic camps. Later he
tnrped his attention TO ranching and
what will perhaps always be known
10 most people as the Coimns ranch
in Steptoe Valley was by his energy
and ineessant toll transferred from
a SPOT i'm the desert to beautiful
home surrounded by rich and produc-
tive agricultural land yielding crops
which have been for years and are
today of the greatest benefit 10 the
district. About ten years ago when
the mining boom was on in this dis
trict and water WAS eagerly sought
for the treatment of ores. Mr. Com
Ins disposed of his ranch for a hand
some figure and thereafter made his
home in Ely
Perhaps the brightest spots in his
career were from 1875 TO about 1891
during which years he devoted con
siderable of his time and gave the
benefit OF his master mind to his
fellow men by service in the legis
Iative halls of this state. He was
first elected to the lower house and
his service there attracted state wide
attention This led to demand
that be serve in a higher capacity and
he was later elected to the Senate
where he soon became a lader. He
has ever since been regarded as one
OF the most able and strongest men
that ever took a seat in the legisla-
tive halls.
He not only had the ability to
frame and present legislation Of vast
benefit to all mankind but likewise
possessed that strength of character
tn a logical conclusion often In the
face Of great difficulty. Senator Com
ins knew no such thing as fail. He
first worked out his plans In his un-
usually bright mind and then show
ed the strength and manhood neces-
sary 10 carry theh minto effect.
When the county seat was moved
from Hamilton To Ely he was ap-
pointed special commissioner and in
this position like the many others OF
trust that he held. he showed signal
ability.
Senator Comins devoted much of
his time, attention and skill to mat
ters pertaining to education, always
rightly insisting that IL was one OF
the ost vital branches of our govern
ment He was for many years "A
