DEATH OF w. B. GRAHAM

Ely News: William B. Graham
died at the Lake Merritt hospital, Oak
land, CAL. March 4, following a ling
ering Illness. and by his death anoth-
er of the grand old pioneers who
blazed the trails into the West has
passed to his greater reward, and all
the citizens of this Statedeeply mourn
the irreparable loss OF such a char
acter.
He was Sc years Of age and his
life was not only n of activity but
was marked by such exemplifcations
of true manhood that all would do
well to follow his example.
Mr.. Graham had been in poor
health for several months past and
spent practically all his time in Cal
ifornia, where the lower altitude
seemed to benefit him somewhat.
While 1t has been known for some
time that his condition was critical,
the announcement Of his death never
theless comes as a shock to this COM
munity. where he spent the best years
of his life.
He was among the men who played
an important part during the early
days in White Pine County. He was
born In Pennsylvania August s, 1854.
At the age Of Is he left his native
State and went to Kansas, Texas. and
rode the range along the border for
some time. In 1872 he moved to
Utah. where he remained one year.
and in 1873 came to Nevada, locating
at Cherry Creek. He became inter-
ested in mining. which vocation he
followed until 1875. He has been
among the most active In the mining
camps OF this State and to him is due
much credit that Nevada is now rec
ognized al n Of the great mineral
producing States Of the Union. Mr..
Graham has been a resident and en-
gagged in business at Ely since 1888.
Mrs. Graham and their three
daughters were with Mr.. Graham in
Oakland at the time Of his death.

Soft Drink Establishments

We find that many of the pool halls and soft drink establishments in Juneau have attempted to conceal their operations by painting their windows, placing screens on them or constructing partitions which di- vide the main room fin such way as to make it possible for the proprie- tors of such places to do away with any liquor and gambling games be- fore the officers of the law can reach the screened portions of such rooms.
 I've recommend that the territor- ial legislature enact legislation em- towering municipalities to license and regulate all such establish ments.
 We recommend that the depart ment of justice provide funds for the use of the United States attorneys and United States marshals office for the employment of special off cers to assist in the detection of the violations of the prohibition law.
 "In our opinion, the imposition of iail sentence for violations of the prohibition law is one of the most effective means of bringing about proper respect for the observance of the same.
 We have inspected the federal court house building and federal jail and find them to be in first class con- dition, with a few exceptions"
 The jury says in conclusion that it visited the schools and turned in a fire alarm without notice and that the school was emptied in One-half minute.
 The members of the grand jury were as follows: D. M. Boutwell,, Louis Erickson, D. B. Fremmer, James Garner, w. L. Gray, w. II. Haints, l.. D. Henderson, George w. Kohlhepp. w. J. Manahan, P.

 Federal Jail at Sitka
 We recommend that the old Rus sian building at Sitka be demolished and that temporary quarters be pro- vided for use as a federal jail until such time as a new structure can be erected.
 DaiIiCS
 "A committe for the grand jury, in company with Dr. l.. o. Sloane, territorial health commissioner, and T. F. p. Keegan, city chief of police, visited the four dairies which distri- bute milk and milk products to the residents of Juneau. We find the condition of two to be very unsani- tary
 Tt is recommended that the pres ent legislature pass a law providing for the regulation of dairies and pre- scribing certain definite sanitary re- Quirements and fixing penalties for the violation of the same.

PEOPLE FAVOR BONUS BILLS
New York, New jersey, Washington
and South Dakota Sanction the
Proposition.

The passage Of soldier bonus bills In
New York, New Jersey, Washington
and South Dakota by overwhelming
majorities at the November elections
is unquestionable proof Of the public's
recognition Of veterans claims, is the
opinion advanced in an editorial which
appeared recently in the American Lee
gion Weekly.
"One-fourth Of the FIVE million men
who served In the army and navy live
In states which have shown their sense
Of Justice by awarding compensation"
the writer says. 'Three-fourths of the
veterans Of the World war live In
thirty-six states which have not faced
the issue-in most Of them because
there have been no recent sessions of
state legislatures.
1.-THE United States senate will soon
pass on the question Of national COM
pensation for World war veterans.
Facing them squarely Is the FOrdney
bill, adopted by the lower house. This
bill will meet every test Of justice. 1t
10 In accord with the sentiment Of the
people Of the country as attested by
the state bonus elections. Its passage
by the senate will mark the fulfillment
Of national obligation. The state bo-
muses. are the expressions of desire
BY the people to give a square deal.
They do not lessen In any degree the
federal responsibility, which cannot be
avoided on the plea Of state generos-
ity,"
