Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-10-05

REFUSED TO REDUCE TIP. Everts,
Superintendent, and Crittenden Thorn
ton, counsel of the Eureka and Pail
SADIE railroad, returned from Elko by
Tuesday nights train, having been IN
successful in their mission to that
place. They went to interview the
Board of Equalization of Elko county,
to endeavor to get the assessment re-
in Elko county; but the Commission
ers were obdurate and refused to abate
one jOt or title, asserting that the Eu-
reka and Pallsade railroad had worked
a great injury to the Elko county
farmers by creating a competition in
the grain trade of this market. of
which the aforesaid farmers had a
monopoly prior to the construction of
the railroad. The Commissioners did,
not, however, display any desire to in.
crease the assessment on the Central
Pacific railroad, which has been as
sessed in Elko county at $4,000 per
mile, making this great road worth
only two thousand dollars per mile
more than the little narrow. gauge E.
IL p. This is equalization with a ZEN
geance. Mr.. Everts intends to make
application to the Commissioners of
this county for a reduction of the as.
sessment of that portion Of the road
running through Eureka couney,
which has also heen placed at 81, 900
per mile.
of the Catholic church opened their
fair at Bigelow's Hall last night. 1t
being the first night it vas not as
largely attended as it doubtless will be
from this time forward. Last evening
the managers were disappointed i'm the
matter of music, but tonight a good
band will be in attendance, and in adj
dition to the other attractions The vota-
ries OF Terpsichore will perhaps have
an opportunity of indulging in the
pleasures of the may. At the time
our reporter visited the hall last
evening there was a goodly attend
ance of the fair lex, but a scarcity
of gentlemen, and the ladies didn't
feel that a church fair was exactly
the thing without a sprinkling
of the sterner sex. For the credit of
the Base Range, we hope the objection
will be removed and masculinity will
be better represented during the re
naming evenings of the fair.
NOT ALTOGETHER WoRTHLESS.-A
defeated candidate for an Assembly
nomination was complaining yesterday
at the manner in which he had been
treated by the convention, when a
friend remarked to him that he ought
to be glad that he was beaten, as
there was neither honor nor profit in
a legislative position. 81 know there

it's sometimes a stepping stone to a
good poker game.

every passing breath of wind.
