LABOR NEWS

The following is significant index
OF the attitude OF labor in England
Land is the one great element of &C.
onomic opportunity and when this
comes to be generally realized it will
not take long to free labor from what
is called wage slavery.
Our system of land owership, while
not as unjust as it has come to be in
England, is based upon the same in
equitable principles and is equally
cumbersome in operation. The worst
OF it is that these disadvantages really
benefit none while they are burden
to many-(Editor.)

this action as they had expected the
Walker River Irrigation District
directors to take charge OF the adj
judication OF rights at this time.

chief water commissioner ior Mason
Smith and Antelope Valleys, and will

ONE MORE TRIP FOR
HANK MONKS STAGE

Reno, New, June l9.-Bearing the
honorable battle scars of score OF
encounters with the road agents and
red skinned "varmints" that infested
the Sierras and plains hereabouts
during the halycon Comstock days,
Hank" Monks historic stage coach
has been resurrected from its resting
place of nearly half century and is
to have one last, mad fling at life.
the venerable vehivle has been en-
tered in the stage coach race that will
be one OF the twenty wild west events
programmed at the Reno Roundup
July 3, and 5.
Those who have inspected the old
crafts sturdy hickory frame say it
may not only survive this gruelling
match but may live to race another
day.
Considerable history OF early Cal
ifornia and Nevada days might be
written around the old stage coach,
which for years was piloted by the
famous Hank" Monk from Placer
vile, Cal, to Virginia City over the
X ingsbury and Geiger grades. 1t
was known as ''hoodoo" stage in
those days, having been held up
oftener than any coach on the line.
On one occasion in. 1876 Monk was
hauling Horace Greeley, the famous
editor, to Sacramento after visit to
Nevada and the journalist was de-
manding more speed in the fear that
he would miss. his boat Losing all
patience, Monk finally turned on the
editor with remark that became a
byword OF the day; Keep your seat
Mr.. Greeley; I'll get you there on
time and lashing his four 'iiery
steeds into run on the precarious
road he proceeded to do so.
Stage robbing was a thriving in
dustry of those times and Monk 5
coach, driven that day by "Baldy'
Green, once figured i'll a spectacular
/ double hold-up on the Geiger grade
when t~o coaches were stopped and
looted by seven highwaymen, who,
in the chivalrous fashion. Of the
period aferward entertained stheir
victims as ii il were an AT fresco
: luncheon. serving champagne and
other refreshments stolen from the
4 stages.

HENRY ROSS INJURED

Henry Ross, brother of Mrs. Chas.
Perry, met with a very serious acci-
dent while driving cattle in the
Sierra on Wednesday. His horse
stepped in a hole and he was thrown
in. such a way ais to break his hip
bone. He lay helpless in the sun
nearly all day, crawling toward the
road and calling to passing cars but
got no help. The horse wandering
back to the corral at night alarmed
the keeper who traced him to the spot
where Ross lay.
He was taken to Woodford's that
night and later was taken to the
Gardnerville Hospital for medical aid
His condition is serious.

HAD THE VALET GUESSING
70 Define Status 81 "Penniiess"
American Douohboy.

How an American serving in the
British army gave q London valet
the shock Of his life was related by q
soldier returning from England. a
ragged, penniless American, worn by
. years fighting with the British in
France, wandered into Y. N. c. A.
Eagle hut, London, and seemed so
forlorn and needy that Mrs. Covers,
head Of the Y. NJ. C. A. Hospitality
league, and wife Of Lloyd Georges
secretary, took him into their home
for his leave.
After good nights rest the
American put the valet cover the
jumps" ordering his uniform
pressed and generally bossing the
houseman in a manner far from
what that factotum thought. q
humble soldier should assume.
Finally the servant went to Mr.
Covers to ask who the American
was. Mr.. Covers did not know why
the valet asked.
"Hif may say SO, sir, 'e's maxim
'msclf very much at 'olne, sir, maxim
us all jump about bit, and e told
me to send this cablegram," said the
valet, handing over message which
read as follows:
dad, I'm busted. Send another
thousand. War Is hell"
The ragged soldier was Cali

PLAN TO SALVAGE MUCH COAL
Valuable Fuel Now at the Bottom Of
the Sea May Be Brought
TO Surface.

Coal estimated at 100000 tons
will be salyaged from the bottom of
Long Island sound with five special
ly constructed boats built by Simon
Lake, submarine inventor, according
to plans announced by the Lake En-
glneering company of Bridgeport,
Conn. II first salvage operations
are successful, it is planned to sal
wage coal all along the New England
coast.
The work promises to he one of
the most interesting atter-war indus
tries in that section of the country.
Simon Lake, who invented the Lake
submarine, now in extensive use by
the United States government. said
that the possibilities are unlimited.
A new era in national thrift and con-
servation of wasted public utilities
heretofore overlooked or ignored is
heralded by MIR. Lake.
Thousands of tons of coal are at
the bottom of the sound within $50
feet OF the surface, according to Mr..
Lake The amount of coal in the
sound is insignificant compared with
the vast tonnage at the bottom of the
Atlantic near the New England
coast, the result of hundreds Of
wrecks.
