NEVADA 8 TROUBLE
AND ITS CAUSE

When the population of the State
of Nevada went down hill instead
of up, the people of this common
wealth asked each other Whats
the matter with Nevada?" They
let it go at that for the greatest
part, while a few of he steadfast
papers, always looking for an ex-
cuse of the ills of all of US, figured
out that the abandonment of min
ing camps did the trick.
All of the communities registered
a complaint when the census re-
turns came in, insisting that the
count was wrong and that Nevada
got the worst of it; even the larger
cities were disappointed in the re-
suits, but the matter has been drop
ped and every so often some eastern
or western journal digs up our skele-
tons and gives them an airing.
As for an analysis, or diagnosis,
of the situation it is possible to
measure it. In other words, Ne
vada is anemic in population, in
wealth and great progress, and
there is both reason and cure for
it.
In the first place, no one can
drain any constitution of its life
blood and yet remain healthy, and
that is what has happened to Ne
vada. In all her history, since the
days of the Comstock, it has been
cause of drainage on the wealth
and none given back. There has
been no tonic administered to take
the place of the drain on her trea-
sure and resources.
Of all the tremendous values
taken from the great Comstock
none have ever been returned, ex-
cept possibly the small amount that
Clarence Mackay has turned over
as a memorial to his father. The
Fairs, Floods, Requas, O'Briens and
the rest who skinned the cream
left only the empty veins for the
new generation. They never plan
ned reclamation project; they
never offered the state aid in any
undertaking.; they took the moneys
from Nevada and built the Golden
Gate. The Newlands properties, all
garnered from the Comstock, went
to the coast cities, and it is SO with
Them all, even to the Jones and
others who basked in the wealth
from Nevada in another sunlight.
The same story comes from every
camp in Nevada. Candelaria, Aus
tin, Phoebe, Aurora, Tuscarora, up
to the modern Tonopah. There has
been but one man from Tonopah
who has tucked any of his wealth
back into the state that made him.
the late Wilson B. Brougher. He
had holdings in different parts of
the state, but every other dollar
that came from this new Ophir has
endowed the lands in other climates.
George Wingfield is the only
representative from the treasure
box of Goldfeld who has retained
confidence in the land that gave
him wealth and comfort. In fact,
Wingfield is the only one of the
hundred or more millionaires this
state made who has helped admin
lister any tonic to the anemic old
State of Nevada.
The history of the entire mining
game has been one to gouge wealth
and leave the empty veins as a
heritage. Appeal.

American Telephone Service

Nowhere else is there any such tele-
phone development as in the United States
and nowhere else is the telephone so much
used, 80 well used and such good telephone
service given This statement has been
heard before and we will hear it again.
AS the man who gazed in unwilling won
der at the ship in the bottle remarked, the
trouble with it is, it's so. When we feel
like kicking at our telephone service it is
time to go abroad and try it there. One
would never kick again.

To aid children and young people to

study of hygiene. To encourage
reading and studying, essay and post
er contests are planned by the ma
tiOnal directors of temperance in
struction of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, these essays to be
written as part of the regular work
in English.
Many unions of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union have
held local contests, and awarded
prizes for the best essays and posters
from the schools in their city or COM
munity. The5e prize essays and
posters are then entered in compe-
tition for state and national honors.
More enthusiasm was shown in
these contests last year, than in any
previous year in Colorado. Nearly
1900 essays were written, $25S 90
given in local cash prizes and uuan-
titles Of literature used.

Another important measure drawn

the drawing of the measure, a cooper

will compel them to do the things
found to be successful in other states.
