WHEN THE MORN BREAKS

A TONOPAH dawn presents a skyline as clear cut as a cameo, It is well worth the while and the endeavor to seek an eminence when the calm of the early morn prevails and watch the sun uplift from the faraway hills to the eastward. Tonopah is situated on an eminence and the distances are magnificent One sees the smoke crawl up from the big reduction works at Millers and is hardly able to realize that they are fourteen miles away. Beyond are the red and yellow Uplifts of Lone Mountain. The Silver Peak range is purple in the distance, and beyond, a hundred miles away, arises the snow mantled eminences of the White mountains.  Looking to the eastward there is a panorama, that the west cannot excel, and by the west there is considerable, territory taken in, one that requires a girdle of 25,000 miles. The middle distances a range from gray to blue, with as ever varying coloration as are the distant peaks as the shadows fail and the tints of dawn arise in color. It is indeed a sight worthy of anyone's effort and an inspiration for the day.

Nye county's affairs will be administered in business like fashion for the next two years. The voters made excellent selections, although one or two of the defeated candidates would have been very acceptable.  Now that it is all over, it would be well to get around to the outlining of legislative bills that will benefit this county and forward them to our new representatives.  At all events, Nye county rid itself of a certain incubus.

It cost fifty million dollars to elect Wilson.  Is he worth it?

The new battleship Arizona today put to sea on its first trip since it was placed in commission a month ago. It has gone out for a "shake down," it was said at the navy yard; for a practice cruiseto test out its engines and equipment.

AN ODD BLAZE

The fire department was called out a few minutes after 6 o'clock last evening for a peculiar blaze. Apparently a small volcano had started to erupt at the rear of A. H. Keenan's residence. It was due to ignition of gas; in some mysterious fashion from a leak in the pipe.  Of course, there was no damage done, except to the gas company.

FRANK MEYER CONVALESCENT

Frank Meyer, who met with such a horrible accident, has established something like a record for quick recovery. He was discharged yesterday from the Mine Operators' hospital.

BONEHEAD BASEBALL  One Curious Break That Even The Umpires Did Not Notice.
   
Baseball's champion foolish play was made in a game between Washington and the White Sox in 1907.  In that battle Larry Schlafly was captain of the Washingtons and also played second base.  At the end of an early inning Schlafly went out to telephone or buy a goat or something and was delayed so long that the Senators had three men put out before his return.  The Sox came trotting in for their turn at bat.  Washington took the field, with only eight men and nobody on second, and the game went on that way till fielder Jones hit one straight across second.  Then, and not till then was it discovered that there was nobody on second base.  Incredible as it may seem, nineteen men, seventeen players and two umpires had started the half inning in this fashion and not one of them got wise till Jones' hit shot over the empty station.  Schlafly reappeared at this juncture, and the umpires decided, that the hit was illegal when made with only eight men in the field.  Jones had to go back and bat over.  New York Sun.

I would've loved to get him in a room with RCH while he explained crystal domes, faces, ancient ruins, and arcologies and "the model." Percival would've been shocked at what he inadvertently created by mentioning canals and likely burnt all of his drawings and books!

Great pic K, nice to see pics of our ancestors kirkin' the tartan.  Hamilton is 45mins NorthWest from my house. It was known as the Steel City as it had massive steelworks in operation.
The Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the Battle at Vimy Ridge It was the first time, that all 4 Corps, consisting of 100% Canadian leadership, and 100% Canadian men. they took more land, prisoners and enemy emplacements than any other offensive of the war.

Your Grandfather must have been quite a man, you and your family must be very proud. It's people like your Great GrandFather that helped to protect the interests of our two great nations.

That ceremony that you wantched had views of our tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa.  That is where that terrorist shot and killed the Soldier, Corporal Nathan Cirillo of The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada from Hamilton, who was guarding the Tomb.  The guy then ran into our Parliament Buildings and was blown away by a member of the Parliament staff who carries this huge mace in front of the procession before the member enter.

  Lieut. Hartford, who conducted the West Side raids, said the girls taken were mostly of the working class and of the department store type.

I think that Trump should return usage of the word: negro  ,it sound good ,it sounds elegant ...the word: black person,blacks, african American
sounds cheap to me, sounds not as elegant as negro..especially that blacks are allowed to use that word "negros" "nigger" but
whites are not allowed ,what kind of stupid discrimination is that ??

..or all people are prohibited from using that word "nigger" or no special treatment for blacks and separate for whites,
that is stupid set of different rules in my opinion...
