The inspector stated that pump is
condemned just as readily for giving

(Communicated)
so THAT THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW

This article is an inquiry as to why
the Senator from this county did not
represent the people in accordance
with their wishes and most vital in
terests. What the ordinary voter
wants to know is why did Mr.. Rand
vote against the Smelter bill when
petitioned by a majority of the vot-
ers who elected him to office to sup
port that bill. 1t would be a relief
to some of us for Mr.. Rand to show
just cause.
Are the voters of this county such
bottomless, ignorant, human beings
that they did not know what was for
their best interests when they petit
toned Mr.. Rand. Do they wish to
go on record as voting against the
chief industry of this county. and be
left to- the mercy of the present
smelter trust. q think not).
l believe we, the small mine own
ers of this State. should demand an
investigation as to why that bill was
not presented to the House after
passing the Senate. There is strong
undercurrent of criticism. on the part
of the people in general, and the time
has come when every mining man
should register his protest. Are we
to be fed with what is handed out to
us, or are we to stand for right and
justice to our chief industry?
Eureka County has a record in the
past of producing more than one
hundred and eighty million dollars in
the different metals, yet her mineral
zone. except in a few instances, has
merely been scratched. With a
smelter in this State a part of the
hauling charges would be eliminated;
we could expect a fair treatment
from the smelter and Eureka County
would again spring into the limelight
as the greatest producer of the prec-
ious metals of any county in this
State.
Yours for the good of all the peo-
pie all the -.

the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking Of the Bastfe

FORMER RUBY KILLER SUICIDES
John W. Treloar, Binghame Mail
Carrier, Found Dead in Road
From Gunshot Wound

The SENTINEL has been furnished
with a copy of the Salt Lake Herald
of March 81 which contains the fol-
lowing account of the death of John

pronounced to have been dead about
16 hours.
The first warning received by resi-
dents of Bingham that harm had be-
fallen Treloar was received when his
horse Friday morning was found nib
bling the grass on the road. Passers-
by returned the animal to Bingham,
where a friend of Treloar's known as
Louis, hired several boys to start a
search.
Lying on his back. a revolver of an
old make resting on his chest, Ire

DETENTION CAMP FOR
UNDESIRABLES URGED

New York Establishment of a
tion of undesirable aliens pending

cases. is the latest plan of the House
immigration Committee now conduct
ing an inquiry at Ellis Island.
The camp would be similar to those
in use during the war for the intern

the temporary abiding place of all
agitators collected anywhere in the
United States, who, by their conduct
or utterances, make their further So
jOurn in this country questionable.
1t is the opinion of the investigat-
ing legislators that such a corral
would aid substantially the work OF
centralizing the disturbers and would
result in much more rapid expedition
of their exit to the lands from whence
they came. The task of deportation,
1t is suggested, will eventually de-
volve on the Department of Justice
instead of the Department of Labor.
