Goldfield. Nevada. at one time con-
spicuous in public print as the boom
town OF the Pacific coast was almost
entirely destroyed by fire last week.
Whether the town will ever be rebuilt
is doubtful, at least il will never re-
the public eye. The rise and fall of
Goldfield is but a repetition OF the
aistory Of many mining camps of the
Pacific coast Something like 20 years
ago gold was discovered in a dreary
desert part of Nevada, state that has
in the past produced enormous wealth
in all the metals that are digged out
OF the bowels of the earth No matter
where it may be found the lure of gold
is so strong that fortune hunters flock
forbidding and unattractive as was
the country where rich leads were
discovered in Nevada hordes of peo-
pie rushed TO the scene and towns
sprang up like magic. the most i'm
portant being Goldfield and Tonapah.
At one time Goldtield could boast nt
% 900 inhabitants, popula tied that
has dwindled down to about 1000 at
the present time. There is at least one
resident OF Oroville who was at Gold
field in the heyday of its mushroom
eXis fence. and ne states that life in
the camp was one dizzy round, and
not always OF pleasure Everybody
was buying and selling claims, or
stock in claims and validating was
favorite pastime. Money seemed to
flow into the camp from every point
OF the compass, with the crazy flock
OF fortune seekers swarming over all
the outlying country. stalking the des-
ert as far as could be travelled in a
day. From a town OF tents a substan-
nal city sprung up almost over night
Gradually mining operations were
confined to a few claims, the hastily
gathered population disintregated and
scattered to the four winds and in a
few years the once glory of Goiifield
had passed away. There are a few
producing mines near Goldfield. but
only few of the once many, and as
there is no longer the old attract ION
10 draw people il is doubtful II Cold
field will arise from its ashes like the
Phoenix

EDITOR ATTACKS
12-HOUR SHIFT
IN STEEL
Charles r. Walker, Of Atlantic
Monthly, Calls 1t Mentally
and Physically Harmful.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, June %. - The
twelve-hour shift in steel, If persisted
in, is on the whole physically ana
mentally injurious to the men VINO
work it,
This declaration is made by Charles
r. Walker, editor of the Atlantic
Monthly, and author of steel: The
Diary of a Furnace Worker" in the
June number of the American Labor
Legislative Review.
Walker bases his conclusions on
careful personal observation upon
records" which he made while work
ing as an unskilled laborer in a mod
ern steel milf. He said:
while temporarily resulting In
greater production" he continues,
"the twelve-hour shift is in the long
run unsound from the standpoint OF
engineering efficiency.
ut makes difficult, if not impos-
sible, an adequate family and COM
munity life. 1t creates condition
unfavorable to the making OF good
citizenship"
Abolition of the twelve-hour day,
according to Walker, will not come
until an aroused public interest
forces action.

OVERRUN
NEW JERSEY
TOWN
Raised by Bergen italians,
They Are Ruing Gardens in
Fashionable Districts.

NEW YORK, June 22.-For many
years the sons and daughters of
Italy, living quietly at the foot OF
the fashionable hill that is called
the Bergen section of Jersey City,
have raised goats, have fed them,
played with them, watched them
multiply and encouraged them to
play with the children. The herd
grew until it numbered seventy-five.
With the coming of summer. when
the lowlands are depressing, the
goats moved gradually up the slop-
ing streets into the Bergen section,
where some of the most prominent
citizens Of the city have their
homes.
In the last month many gardens,
hedges, and lawns have been de-
spoiled. One man said he had spent
$3.50 on a garden only to have 1t
ruined in one afternoon. A woman,
who said she had always been afraid
of goats, came home and found that
four goats, after eating her flower
garden in front of the house, were
waiting for her on the front porch.
Several hundred residents of the
Bergen section have signed a petit
ton asking the Board of Health
to do something about 1t.

RH|NELAND RESIDENTS SWAT INOSQU!T0ES
 FROM UNITED STATES

SOBLENTZ, Sept. 12.-The United States is blamed for having supplied Coblentz and the area about the junc- tion of the Rivers Rhine and Moselle with larger mosquitoes than any other part of the German republic.
 In the Franco-Prussian war of 50 years ago, Fort Ehrenbreitstein was a concentration point for French pris- oners and an important cavalry and artillery center.
 Large numbers of horses and mules were kept there and because of the shortage of forage in Germany to meet the needs of the animals, great quantities of hay were imported from the United States. American mosqui- toes were imported with the hay.
 However the American brand of mosquito has not wandered far from his new home and the pests along the Baltic Coast and throughout the inte- rior of Germany still are of type so small that they can filter through the ordinary mosquito netting.

TAX FREE
SECURITIES
DEFENDED
By HERBERT QUICK

In 1918 the writer was with his fell
low members of the Federal Farm
Loan Board seeking a market for
Federal farm loan bonds We had 10
sell these bonds in order to get money
to loan farmers, some of whom were
paving as hig has u per cent and
none of whom were able TO borrow
money for more than a few years.
We were lending them money on a
plan under which their loans would
never come due so long as they paid
l per cent per year on the principal
in addition to the interest. This
seemed too good to be true to
thousands of debt-ridden farmers.
We did not dare offer our bonds on
the market at a rate lower than 5
per cent So bonds to the amount of
500. O32 900 were sold at that rate
They do not mature until 1888; but
on April 2 of this year the Federal
Farm Board issued a call for redemp-
ton They will be paid off fifteen
years before they are due.
To one who has lived in the new
West through the era of usury and
extortion from which this system Is
gradually freeing our farmers, this
sounds like realization of a dream
And yet some men in Congress are
out to spoil it all. by demanding a
constitutional amendment to stop the
issue Of three securities. That will
destroy the low-interest rates of the
Federal farm loan system. The
reason why the farmers are more and
more Of them enjoying the benefits
of this system lies in the fact that
these Federal farm loan bonds are
tax-free both as to principal and in
