NOW WE'RE
GOING GOOD

GOING GOOD
The action of the Humboldt County
Chamber of Commerce, last night, in
resolving to "go after" an irrigation
project may go down in local history
as one of the most progressive steps
ever taken for betterment of condi-
tions here.
The proposition is SO simple We
can see no loophole for the knocker
to get in his dirty work. The Owyhee
project Is only one of many similar
possibilities In this county, and look
ing at 1t from a purely selfish view
point. from any mans angle. We can't
see why any man should put pebble
in the way of the earnest men trying
to put it through. Though it can be
claimed that 1t creates a means fol-
gaining of political prestige for
man not of our party. The Silver
State Is behind 1t to the last ditch,
and behind any man willing to exert
effort for accomplishment And you
can bank on us being behind any
other proposition for the general
good, so long as it's right"
If the project goes through, who
benefits? Everybody. The state and
nation as a whole. the soldiers who
fought our battles, the county from
an increased taxable property valua-
ton, the taxpayer because of more
people to carry the load and also be-
cause of increased value of property
due to increased population; the
business men because of more people
to buy their wares, and finally the
working man because of numerous
opportunities for advancement.
There's every reason for boosting
and not a reason we've thought of
yet for knocking. It's for the good
of everyone.
And thus we commence to see the
benefits possible because of organiza-
ton, concerted effort and action.
This could never have come up work
ing along in the old manner. The
next step is successful conclusion of
one of these boosting ideas. Then
the concrete example of possibilities
and the dawning idea of where every
ones pocketbook is directly affected.
That's what will get the results-that
dear old dollar everybody thinks so
much about. Do you think there'll
be any worry then about loss Occa
stoned by shutting off of the sale of
poisonous moonshine and drugs? Will
anyone be sorry men condoning
those evils have been thrown out OF
the saddle of power? And will any
one cry because dozen of the
skunks handling that junk and get
ting rich have left town? We don't
think so. Well all be too busy at
tending to new business.
But to get back to the subject. It's
really a pleasure to attend meetings
OF tue CndmDer Oh commerce. once
In awhile, 1t Is true. someone inflicts
factionalism, but after they've noted
disgust manifest a few times that
will be thing of the past. 1t really
looks now the Chamber is on the high
road to success and if the determined
attitude manifest is any sign, petty
scraps are not going to be allowed to
break it up. AS said before, everyone
seems determined to get action"
and the desire is more apparent at
every meeting. 1t is our prediction
that with few more meetings any

CLEANING UP
AND WEEDS

NM W
During the last few days the city
has been cleaning up alleys and
streets. Weeds have been pulled up
and hay rake used to gather them
| together for burning. We have been
having some of those wonderful
spring days that go to make Nevada
particularly desirable place in
which to reside. Probably some of
the spring fever desire to be out of
doors at work has struck the city
officials.
This matter of cleaning up and
weeds is a particularly touchy sub
! ject. 1t takes the same aspect as any
other civic improvement or city dis
grace-when incidents are mentioned
that matter is Immediately made out
as a personal attack and the fellow
| it's aimed at feels real insulted So
well jump on The Silver State case
and not feel bit peeved because of
the public criticism.
The yard behind The Silver State
eyesore and a fit subject of prompt
action on the part of the city officials.
There, Is that strong enough? If it
isn't we'll add that the publisher of
The Silver State Is not a good citizen
and should feel heartily ashamed of
himself for letting the yard get into
such condition. How's that?
But we're also going to take the
same position in this matter other
citizens should take when anything
comes out that seems uncalled for or
unfair. We're going to tell both sides
of the story and see that the other
side gets the same publicity as the
first.
We acknowledge the yard is fierce.
and we should be made to clean it up.
We want to have it cleaned up. But
is the other fellow willing to do his
share?
When a former tenant vacated
portion of the building, all sorts of
trash was left beside the building,
where 1t can't be seen. The matter
was first taken UP by the writer with
the. fire chief. pointing out the trash
constituted a serious fire menace.
Then 1t was taken up with the fire
warden. and finally with the city
council. The city council ordered the
fire warden to abate the nuisance or
cause an arrest, and while at it he
was instructed to take similar action
in other cases. He's been around a
couple CT times and looked things
over, did little talking. but that's
the end. AS the lawyers say, it's
reasonable to suppose If facts are SO
in this case they must be SO in others.
During the last two years we've
cleaned up the yard several times,
and In spite of the anti-weed ordi-
nance, fire-prevention clauses, and so
on, only one neighbor has made any
effort to keep the district clean. We
don't like to clean up and then have
weeds and paper and trash blow in
that someone else should have
cleaned up, and we intend to make
an effort to get action before we do
clean up.
There you have the whole thing.
It's just little incidence of where
cooperation and a little thinking of
the other fellow are all that are re-
quired. We dare say others feel the
same way. The old alibi that no one
can be hired to do the work won't go
now-the sheriff or constable can get
plenty of men for you who will be
glad to get the work to eat If all
do little cleaning up these nice days
the benefit will be lasting, but where
only few are public spirited it's a
discouraging proposition.

COTTON MARKETS
 SLIGHTLY LOWER

After remaining steady at about unchanged prices the greater part of the day, the cotton markets weakened shortly before the close, which was at small declines from the preceding day. Trading has been unusually in active the past few days, probably awaiting the publication of census ginning figures tomorrow morning.
 New York January contracts closed eight points lower at 1715 cents and March six points down at 17.16 cents. New Orleans January declined IS points, closing at 16.37 cents, and March dropped 15 points, closing at 1852 cents. Spots in New York were lowered 20 points to 17.50 cents and in New Orleans were unchanged at 1875 cents.
 The tendency toward lower prices in the Conway market continues, local buyers stating that there is an all most total absence of demand for actual cotton. Sixteen and one-half cents is about the top price being paid for upland cotton here, and the average is probably a little under 16 cents.
 The local price of cottonseed re- mains unchanged at $27 per ton.

He is in jail now for the al- legged theft of wagonload of corn from MT. Gibbs.
 Blevins was arrested Monday night at North Little Rock by Deputy Con- stable J. A. King. When returned here, he was not formally arraigned on the charge, which was referred to the grand jury, and the accused held Tn default of bond. Charges against him last August, which will also come before the January grand jury, allege numerous thefts of chickens before his arrest by local officers.

BOYS ORGANIZATION
 PLANNED BY MASONS

Members of the Royal Arch chap
 ter of Masons are planning to insti-
 ute chapter of the order of DeMo-
 lay for boys at Conway, it was an-
 nounced today. The order of DeMo-
 lay, to which sons of master Masons
 and their chums, between the ages of 16 and 21 are eligible for member ship, was established in Kansas City only two years ago, but has grown repidly until it now numbers over 300 chapters with a membership of 100000 boys. Its aim is to fill need of the larger boys, who have outgrown Boy Scout work but are not old enough to join a fraternal or der, the announced purpose being to make better boys, better men and better citizens.
 The order derives it's name from Jacques DeMolay, the last military grand master of the order of Knights Templar, an eminent martyr of Free Masonry who was burned at the stake in France 1914. It is said to have ritualistic work, with two degrees, in which the cardinal prin- ciples of the order are deeply inn pressed upon the boys minds. Each order must be sponsored by local Masonic organization and all Masons are at liberty to visit the sessions of he order Besides its ritualistic work, many features that will inter- ,st the boys are planned for the or ganization.
