No More MiIlers

The town OF Millers once with a
population Of 500 souls, is rapidly
becoming depopulated as a result
of the closing down of the big 100
stamp mill OF the Tonopah Mining
Company.
Many residents of this once
thriving community are seeking
new homes, and the majority of
the people are going to Toropah,
where they are finding little trouble
III securing employment, says the
Tribune.
As result of the closing OF the
mill, Millers, like all other milling
and mining centers, is experienc
the usual vicissitudes that fall to
the lot of eommun tiles depending
wholly upoa one industry. Many
people who have abandoned their
homes are selling their houses, and
within the next few weeks the
buildings will be dismantled and
the lumber brought to Tonopah
where it will again be used III
erecting homes.
The big mill which has enriched
the world treasury by millions Of
dollars, is making its last melt and
only few men are being employee
It is not the intention of the Tono
pah mining company to dismantlc
the plant On the other hand, the
windows will be nailed up and the
mill left standing, pending the
time when conditions are changed
1t is possible that in due time i'm
provements will be made about the
big plant that will permit of treat
ing the thousands OF tons of dump
matter that are known to contain
good values s

Cor Good Roads

A resolution memorializing con
gress to make amendments to the
Bankhead, Swanson and Shake
ford road bills pending in congress
whereby the reversion of funds not
used by states to which they have
been apportioned will be two in
stead of one year, was introduced
by Assemblyman Stannard of Min
eral.
Stannard' 5 idea is that longer
reversion period should be provided
to enable such states as are not IN
position financially to spend the
amount of money allotted by the
government futher time in which
to do so. One year, ne conterds,
is too short a tine to ask some
states to appropriate a large sum OF
money,
Under the bills now pending in
congress unless the states appro-
pirate for road construction within
year an amount equal to that al
lotted by the government the fed
eral appropriation will revert to
the government.
STANDARDS resolution will also
ask congress to make a change III
the ratio of bearing the expense ot
post road construction. Under the
present fedora, plan the expense IS
shared on an equal basis. Stan
nard proposed that it be shared on
an equal basis where the popula-
ton is more than 100 persons to
the square mile, and where the
population is less than that The
governments share OF the expense
be increased by one fourth OF one
per cent for each person less than
100 per square mile.

Wealthy INBIANS. /.

"Lo the poor Indian" is an express
sion that will have to be revised more
less. There are supposed to be about
800 900 Indians in various parts of the
United States, and while many Of them
are still content to live in shabby huts,
and draw canned rations from the gov
ernment agencies, others are amassing
fortunes that would make white mans
mouth water. Many Of these Indians
have received allotments of land, some
Of which has rich mineral deposits of
various kinds and many OF the In
dams are now beginning to realize
handsome returns on these natural re-
sources. In Oklahoma, for example,
several tribes received more more than
eight and half million dollars during
the last fiscal year in the form Of roy
alties from oil wells located on their
lands. One old Creek Indian, who re-
fused to accept the land allotted him
by the Department, but was finally OBJ
liged to take it, has now over four
hundred thousand dollars invested In
Liberty bonds, has gone to the limit
in buying war savings stamps, and Is
piling up his surplus in the form OF
bank accounts. His land happened
to have an oil reservoir beneath it's
surface,

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET.

The annual banquet which the Jun
iors of the Manchester High school are
m the habit of providing for the SEN
iors. was given in the basement of the
Methodist church on Thursday even
ing, May Sth. The room was elaborate
ly decorated with flowers, under the
direction of Miss Florence Klaus, of
the high school faculty, assisted by the
members of the Junior class. The
tables were surrounded by beautiful
white fence covered with sprays of
plum blossoms, hiding the walls from
sight. The table were decorated with
tasty bouquets and class pennants ap-
propriately placed.
After the delicious supper Glenn
Houston, president of the Junior class,
took charge of the proceedings by
