EDITORS n. p. FARMER:
Your correspondent D., who is
writing from this prairie, who is not
man enough to sign his own name,
has been little too personal in his
last communication. If the public
generally knew this man (D.) as we'll
as we know him on this prairie, /
never should of made any answer to
his insinuations. / will give a little
history Of him. He came to this
prairie about one year ago. He
owns nothing on this prairie, nor in
this county, and from present ap-
pearances he never will. He never
has paid one cent of taxes in this
county, and l do not think he ever
will pay any. But he has more to
saw about how school district, and
road work should be done, than any
man in this county. Now if D., OF
any other man, wishes to take my
contract for building road from Mr..
Giles to Mr.. Testers off my hands, I
will checrfully assign it to him.
DIS last communication sounds very
much as if it had been dictated by q
man that used to build fires and sweep
out a lawyers Office in England, be-
fore coming to this country.
Yours,
l.. a. PADDOCK.

THE BANQUET.
A Splendid Reception i'm Honor Of
Superintendent Rickard.

"A splendid Reception in Honor of
Superintendent Rickard.
By q slip Of the pen the reporter Of the
SENTINEL in yesterday mornings issue
stated that a banquet would be given Su-
perintendent Richard on Nov. o. This
was a mistake. 1t took place last night,
and was q splendid affair. The proprie-
tors Of the Jackson House Restaurant had
prepared one of the grandest dinners ever
spread in this section. The tables were
weighed down with delicacies and good
things. Only the officers and others init
mately connected with the Richmond
Company were present. Congratulatory
speeches, toasts, stories, "reminiscences,
ETC., ruled the board. Mr.. Richard, who
was the guest Of the occasion, was the re-
cipient OF many handsome compliments
aud expressions Of friendship and good
will from all present. He responded with
thanks, assuring the assemblage that
their well wishes were heartily recipro-
Gated by him. Among those present a re-
porter OF the SENTINEL noted the follow
ing gentlemen, there being. no ladies in
attendance A. e. Titus, L. Davis, r.

Some Severe STRUCTURES by the An.
thor of the salary Law.

f1 NV kuG 1Au'
thor of The SALARY Law.
Senator Powning seems to think that the
officers OF Eureka County Are being treated
with too much liberality. In a recent
issue OF his Reno Journal he says
The assessed valuation Of all property
IN Eureka County is So, $40, 003. The to-
tai tax for the year amounts to S108, ISL 81,
OF which 500, 160 05 is on State account,
and S7O,500 So for the general and special
taxes OF the county. This is at the rate Of
$40 for every man, woman and child in
the county. There is something radically
wrong in a system Of government which
entails such a tax per capita for the main
tenance Of law and order.
Commenting in another place on an
item from the SENTINEL regarding the
operations of the Salary Law, in which it
was stated that our county had fallen be-
hind $22, 900 on official salaries, he adds:
Cut down your salaries. What can you
expect when you have a Sheriff at So, 900 a
year, and allow as much more additional;
an Assessor at S., 900, and then allow him
two or three deputies to perform the work;
a Treasurer at $500 per month, with a de-
putty at $l25 to do all the service. Tax
payers who permit such m-ismanagement
ought to spffer.
Those who have charge of our county
affairs may now see in what particular they
are going wrong. Senator Powning insists
that the Salary Law is a blessing and a
benefit when administered in accordance
with its true intent and meaning. 1t is
well to keep close watch of its results dur
ing the present and next year. as there
will no doubt be made a big effort to re-
peal it at the next session of the Legisla-
ture. If it is a good thing, it should
stand, otherwise the sooner it Is blotted
from the statute books the better. Up to
date it seems to have worked badly in
Eureka County.

LAND OFFICE DECISION.
How to Dismiss AN Application for
a Patent.

How to Dismiss an Application for
a Patent.
A gentleman of this place, says the Elko
Independent, a short time ago, with q view
of obtaining definite information upon an
obscure clause in the law affecting title to
the public domain, applied to the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office, making
the following statement: "some years
ago, the owners OF a certain mining claim
procured q survey thereof and fled an APP
plication for q patent, but proceeded no
further than publication of notice; that
since that time the claim has been relo-
Gated as abandoned property, and that the
present owner is DESTROYS OF obtaining q
patent, but no survey thereof can be had,
as the application of the former owners is
still upon the records Of the local land
office, and he now seeks to learn as to the
manner in which a dismissal Of the appli-
cation can be secured In order that a new
survey may be made, upon which to base
an application for a patent by the present
owners"
The Commissioner replies "that a party
desiring to file an application under the
circumstance stated should transmit to
this office his affidavit. and that one or
more disinterested persons, reciting the
facts in the case, giving the date Of the
original location, the time when work upon
the claim was suspended by the former
owners, date Of the relocation by the present
owners and such other material fact as will
establish a prima facie case OF abandon
ment. If such a case be established by
said affidavit, the register and receiver Of
the proper land Office will be instructed to
order q hearing in the matter, giving notice
to all parties concerned; and il the result
Of such hearing be to sustain the allega-
lions OF the claimant, the application
OF the former claimant will be dismissed
and the premises restored to the public do
main, subject to entry and patent by the
relocater upon complying with the pro-
visions Of the law"

A FARM.
The Operations Of Andrew BensOn
at BeOwawa.

The Operations Of Andrew BensOn
nj Beowawa.
We learn from the Reno Gazette that
Andrew Benson, at Beowswa Station, this
county, has during the past two years
planted over 5000 trees OF IA different va
%rieties. maple, box elder, Eastwood, horse
chestnut, Lombardy poplars, North and
South Carolina poplars, California and
Eastern walnuts, American cork and slip
perry elm and weeping willows. His locust
trees are q great success. Mr.. Benson has
also the best fish-pond in the State-half a
mile in circumference and from four to
eight feet deep, with o 1,000-inch stream
Of water running through it, and a 40
foot carriage road, bordered with trees,
around it. The pond contains carp. Mr..
Benson farms IL 900 acres OF hay and
grain land, and by irrigation reclaims
large tracts of sagebrush land every year.
Would that Nevada and California, too,
had more citizens like Mr.. Benson, says
the Daily Report. Such as he rank among
the b~enefactors of the human race, and in
doing good to their contemporaries and
leaving a rich legacy to posterity they are
mostly very happy themselves in the midst
of the ever increasing beauties of their
surroundings and the brilliant results OF
theipown energy and enterprise.

PerIey's Bid Accepted and II De.

mand Made for the work to Pro.
coed.
Matters are looking brighter in connec-
ton with the new railroad. The SENTINEL
learns that the Perley bid for the grading
Of the first rs miles has been formally and
officially accepted, and the contractor re-
quested to proceed with the work. The
talk. about building from the other end is
therefore exploded.
The Perley syndicate included, when his
bidwas first rendered the names Of R. Sadler,
E. r. Clute, Thos. HALEY, and two others
in the background. The bid was put in
in August. The figures were considered
by railroad men and contractors to be very
low. They might have pulled through on
them in the Summer and Fall months.
They are deemed entirely inadequate now
II was rumored on the street yesterday
that Sadler, Clute and HALEY had deter
mined not TO touch the contract, in view
OF the near approach Of Winter. They were
anxious to undertake the work last August,
but fail to see where there is anything to
be made at 1t during the Winter. 1t is
understood that the syndicate will stick
and go on with the work, provided the
railroad company will stand q reasonable
advance in figures to cover bad weather.
Whether this will be done remains to be
seen. 1t will probably require a few days
to bring matters to q head. But II seems
highly probable at this writing that the
work OF constructing the road by some
body will be commenced at an early day.
