SHELTER BILL
Nevada State Smelter
Planned by Elko Senator

On February n in the Senate, SEN
ator Hesson introduced his bill which
is intended to establish state smelter
This piece of legislation has been ex-
pected, as the Elko senator sometime
ago stated that he would offer such a
law.
Under the provisions of his bill the
plant will be christened the Nevada
State Smelter. Five directors are to be
appointed by the Governor and they
in turn are to select a chairman and
secretary. Bylaws and all the incidents
to carry out this work is provided for
under the bill.
The bill sets out bond issue of
$750,000 for the purpose of the under
taking $4,000 is to be expended in
the erection of a plant, the other mon-
ey's being available for ore purchase
and other matters connected with the
undertaking.
The Governor, Controller and
Treasurer are to issue the bonds at
the rate of 5 per cent per annum. A
provision is made for the setting aside
from the profits of 10 per cent to
meet the bond obligation together
with the interest. The intent is to con-
duct this smelter without profit only
in so far as it covers the redemption
of bonds and depreciation OF the
plant.
The bill calls for site to be Sc
lected after investiation and naming
no district or place. The entire bill
covers all the details necessary to
place this bill in working force and
but needs the approval of the two
bodies to put something on the map.

COPPER
MANSON. DISCUSSES. THE
PRESENT SITUATION

This announcement by Frank Man
SON Manager OF the Western Ore
Purchasing Company, will be of inter
est to the producers of copper.
At the present time there is about
a billion pounds of unsold copper in
The country, half of which is owned
bv the government, according to Mr.
Manson and it will take from five to
SIX months to sell their holdings.
The copper mines have reduced
ti,eir production from one-half to
two-thirds, waiting for the surplus
stock to be used up" said Mr.. Man
son. "and I look for the price to re-
main about eighteen cents. The cop
per will be absorbed readily by in
,lustrial plants in the United States,
in England and in Europe and when
The mines resume full operations a
gain copper will go to twenty or
twenty-five cents | believe.
None OF the big industrial plants

stocks OF copper now. They used

and during the next few months,
while the price is eighteen cents. they
will begin to buy stock up. buying
from the government and the copper
producers. The foreign market will
take care OF a large part Of the sup
ply and then the mines will begin pro-
ducing again, but the big producers
will not be able to supply the cop
per as in the period just prior to the
The close OF the war.
High prices then caused small
producers to ship their ores and they
did no development work. old dumps
we're shipped to the smelters and as a
consequence there was large amount
OF copper produced. Development,
work will be needed now and pro-
s,uction will not be 50 great. This
will eventually lesd to . shortage in
copper and the price may go as high
as twenty-nine cents"

despatch the copper held by the gov
eminent will be disposed of gradually

MISS A. MARTINS BILL

introduced an irrigation district OIL
at the request of Miss Anne Martin
who has been working on il in con-
junction with Attorney Patrick for
the last three weeks. The bill is prac1
tically copy Of the California Law on
the same subject. which has been IN
force for the; last,ten or twelve years.
The act is directly opposite to the
bill introduced recently by Senator
Kent and said to have the approval
OF the Governor and land owners in

relative merits of the two bills Miss
Martin said:
1.-TWO irrigation district bills are
now before the legislature awaiting
action. probably the two most import
ant bills of the whole session. One
was introduced last week by Senator
Kent, the other Monday by Senator
Summerfield. assisted in drafting
the Summerfield bill and am sponsor
ing it. Mr.. f. T Patrick and Mr.. FL
bert Howard, head of the Sparks Fed
Grafton of Labor, who is also head OF
an irrigation district near Susanville
which he organized, have both been
OF great assistance in getting the bill
in shape.
1.-THE, Kent bill backed by Gov.
Boyle. is drafted by lawyers without
consultation with farmers or labor or
CARNATIONS. is untested in operation,
and so experimental. Senator sum
merfield's bill, backed by many menl-
bers OF labor and farm organizations,
is based on nearly forty years success
full experience in California. and has
been organized under it, and all have
been successful.
1.-THE future daily happiness and
prosperity of thousands OF homeseeK-
ers no less than the agricultural deve'-
opment of Nevada depends upon the
choice of the legislature between
these two bills.
Has past experience shown that
LAWYERS from their offices can legis-
late wisely for the needs of the peo-
pie? Do legislators realize sufficiently
that they hold in their hands and must
speak for the masses who cannot
speak for themselves? THE sum-
merfield bill, based on practical hum

worked out detail, the needs OF set

NE WOMEN PEDP[E

Miss Henrietta Roeiofs, a Y.W.C.A!
secretary. had been speaking on the
military value of women's work in
the war.
When she told of the work of the
British W.A.A.Cs.. those twenty
thousand young girls who enlisted in
the British Army for the duration of
the war. the enthusiasm of her audi
ence was unbounded The picture of
the war-weary French women, who
left home and babies to work in NUM-
ton plants night and day, brought
tears to the eyes OF the audience
There was thrilling moment when
she told of what American women
did here at home; and when she drew
a word picture of the perils of the
nurses and of the Signal Corps girls
at the front, who shared the same
dangers and difficulties as the men,
and never shirked, there was a burst
of applause
She was followed by preacher
who closed the meeting with prayer.
He asked God for the protection of
our sailors and soldiers, those in SER
vice and those who had come home
for all the brave men who had given
so much to the winning of the war.
Then he said Amen and sat down.

The central powers faced odds Of
greater than two to one in modified
troops when Germany gave up the
fight last November. The estimated
aggregate strength OF the enemy
powers at that time, according to
official estimates made public by Gen
eral March, chief of staff, was $780,

Referring TO the rehabilitation Of
the American army, General March
said that last Sunday, the second an
niversary of the entrance of the
United States into the world war,
found the restoration of American
manhood to civil life more than 40
per cent complete. On returns up to
April / the army had been reduced
to an aggregate strength of 2,055,-

has set mark of 900 discharges

Mr.. Giles had many a hearty laugh

MAIN STREET IN THE SEVENTIES.

When / read in The Washington
Standard of March 20 the obituaries
of two old-time residents of Olympia,
Mrs. Amelia Bettman and j. G. HAZE
man, it caused me to take another
mental view of Main street as il ap-
peared away back in the seventies.
| have some old photographs of
scenes on Main street that would no
doubt be quite interesting to the old
settlers who are still on the streets
of Olympia One of them shows the
old steamer Eliza Anderson" the
famous old side-wheel vessel that
made trips between Olympia and San
Francisco in the early days and was
then tied up to the wharf at the foot
of Main street so long that she seemed
so rotten she would soon fall to
pieces, but wonderful to relate, that
old tub was rejuvenated and came
back" on the run between Olympia
and Victoria. 3. C.. She was so old
that it seemed appropriate TO say
Str. Eliza Anderson, +. c."
And then she was equipped with a
wonderful calliope that was made in
b. c. Do you old-timers remember
the music GU OF that old calliope?
You betcha do. And do you remem
Der the imitation of that old B. G.
calliOpe that was perpetrated by the
O'Shanty Glee Club? Everyone of
the singing members of the O'Shanty
Club could initiate his particular
cracked note in that old steam music
box. One night when large crowd
of our citizens were waiting in the
stores until midnight for the arrival
of Eliza B. c., to go on moonlight
excursion, they got the surprise Of
their lives. All of a sudden they
thought they heard the charming
music of Eliza and her calliope, some
one called out, There she comes!"
and the people rushed out pell nell
to hurry down to the wharf, but all
they saw in the moonlight was a
bunch of O'Shanty Club singers in
the middle of Main street executing
the cracked notes of Way Down
Upon de Swanee River" so much like
the old b. c. machine that it took
them Eliza had not arrived.
AS near as I can remember now,
the members of the O'Shanty Club
who were guilty Of that misrepresen-
tation were Theodore Brown, Pee
Ouelette. Mitch Harris. Gus Harris
and Charlie White, IAN they do say
that Charlie Moore had suthin' to do
wi it,"
Later l made trip to Victoria, b.
c., on that old Eliza, B. c., and it
twisted and wiggled just like kid
when you tickle it in the ribs. 1t
seemed like she would fall to pieces
any moment, but for all l know she
may be wiggling along yet. How
ever. she is not tied up to the wharf
at the north end of Main street any
more. and Uncle Sans modern ships
have taken her place.
MRS. AMELIA BETTMAN.
1t is not necessary for me to look
at those old photos to get a view of
old Main street and Eliza Anderson,
for l took a mental picture in my
early youth that is still with me, and
the sad news of the departure of
those two old-timers brings the men
tai picture of Main street more WV
idly to my memory.

the east side of Main street north OF
