TUBERCULOSIS CLAIMS
NEVADA NEWSPAPERMAN

William Mcclure, for years a not
ed newspaper man of Nevada, died
Wednesday at Virginia City and was
buried Friday at Reno. His death
was caused by consumption.
McClure's former name was Will
liam Mcclure Gotwaldt. During the
war he had it changed by Judge
Averill at Tonopah to William Me-
Clure to get rid of the German eur
name. For several years past he
was publisher of the Manhattan Mag
net but had to give ii up when his
health failed.
Gotwaldt, as he was better known.
was city editor of the Reno Gazette
in 1904 and had held other positions
in that city off and on for a few years
before and after that time. In Feb
ruary. 1905, he arrived at Tonopah
and became city editor of the Sun,
the first daily in southern Nevada,
his employer being L. C. Branson,
now of the White Pine News. Re-
turning to Reno, after a time he went
to Ogden and was employed on the
Standard by Senator Frank ]. Can.
non About that time he also held
an editorial position at Winnemlcce
for several months. Later he became
city editor of the Goldfield Review
and secured a mining lease, which
was widely known as the Gotwaldt-
Combination. Next he returned TO the
Tonopah Sun, where he remained a
year, leaving in 1909. For two or
three years afterward he was city
editor of the Tonopah Bonanza and
wrote the article which caused the
conviction of Editor w. w. Booth for
criminal libel against District Attor-
ney j. A. Sanders. now supreme court
Judge. For a short time between
these periods he was editor Of the
Sacramento Union.
He had a brilliant mind and was a
clever writer of short editorials and
was an excellent mining writer. He
was a good desk man but as a news
writer he was not a success. He had
a fine imagination and a sense OF
humor and lacked only the ambition
to have made a mark in fiction and
poetry.

DISPATCH OF NAILS At
MG|LL TO Be CHANGED

AS soon as permission for a new
schedule may be obtained from
Washington the leaving time of nail
from McGill to Cleveland ranch will
be changed so that mail from Ely
will reach the latter destination the
day OF its dispatch. Under the pres
ent schedule it must lie over from
twenty-four to forty eight hours at
McGill, as the carrier is required to
leave there a short time before the
arrival of the northbound train from
Ely.
This was one of the main objec-
tions to the old schedule cut of
Cherry Creek, from which place the
mail vas dispatched for the Spring
valley country for more than a quar-
ter of a century.
For patrons of the route, especial
ly at its farther end, the principal
gain is by having a through service
of three times a week instead Of a
three times a week service to Au-
rum and a twice a week service from
there to Cleveland ranch. Credit
for this change is due to the agita-
tion unrelentingly carried on for sew
eral months by the White Pine News.
Many marked copies of the News
have gone to Washington during the
fight.
The new contractor is John Mag
nusen, owner of a ranch twenty-five
miles north of McGill. He will make
the deliveries in his car, serving the
postofices of Schellbourne, Aurum
and Cleveland, and from Aurum the
mail will continue to be delivered to
Tippett by a different contractor
twice a week. In the winter Mr..
Magnusen may require two cars and
a team and sleigh, the latter to cross
Schellbourne summit and the ears
to the route IN either side.
Residents between Aurum and
Cleveland ranch will be the gamers,
as likewise will be persons having
business with them. as the mail no
longer will lie over from t~wenty-four
to as high as seventy hours at Aurum.
This was not the fault Of anybody
save the makers of the schedule, and
they are at Washington.
Postmaster j. ID. Wallace is act
lively in correspondence with the de-
partment at Washington seeking to
have the hour of dispatch from Nc
Gill delayed enough to take the out
bound Ely sack or sacks, as they are
made up for Cleveland and the inter
mediate Offices on the route.

lie appreciates this forethought and
is responding in kind.
The price of tickets has been lop-
ped of by one-third, the cost OF the

HOW RELIEF MUST COME.

The legislature has made a
good record for economy that
is in keeping with the need of
the times. Taxes have been
mounting longer than they
should and reductions have
long been overdue. The saw
ing in state expenditures for
the next two years is estimat-
ed at between $3.50, 900 and
5000, 900 over those of the
last biennium. The program
can be likened to that of the
national administration which
has made such a splendid
showing for economy.
Yet it is we'll to remember
that. during the last state cam
Paign speakers explained how
the wiping out of the entire
state levy would scarcely be
noticed by the average tax
payer. Cutting the states
five mills from the usual total
levy of from As to IS mills
would mean a small amount
of relief. This brings us to
what the governor and one of
the leaders in the legislature
have just said to the effect
that the taxpayers will find
the greatest measure of relief
IN the reduction of local
levies; that is, town., school {
and road levies. The, tax a
payers may rejoice at the $
economies effected by the

matters. They are apprecia- F

feeling of relief will be exper- Il

weighed heaviest. 4
