ED TIMES Frank Rivers lost Two val

Of their eating to much green alfalfa. The
Piutes had grand feast the next day.
Considerable stock is being sent into this
valley from neghbolns towns TO be fed dur

A load of derrick poles drawn by twelve
horses passed through this place few days
ago.
Quite a number OF the citizens Of Yelling
ton attended the Fair at Wabuska. The
needlework displayed by the ladies' attracted
considerable attention. Those attending re-
port the Fair success.
Two loads OF candidates for the different
county Offices reached this. place Friday.
We think both parties have selected fine
looking intelligent men. The ladies think
the Republican load particularly agreeable

Nh wEsrgRFrELD again states that

Mr.. WEsTERFIELD again states that
Mr.. CARING mad. the contract for the print
ing of the tax list after knowing that it
could be done for s cents. Maybe Mr..
Westerheld knows more about the contract
than those who made it, but we think not.
Again we will state that the contract was
made no less time than ten days before
the Board Of Commissioners met at which
Mr. Wes,eried's agent agreed to do the
work for cents. The g:ntleman'S persist.
ent prevaricalioa in this matter is getting
tiresome to the majority OF right minded
people. Mr.. Westerhcld's vituperations
against Mr.. CARING comes from the fact that
the latter gentleman will not submit to the
Senator's wishes, and the statements made
by him that those with whom he deals must
oppose Mr.. CARING or be bycott-d by the
Ophr Mill Company, are such as would be
made by no sane man. Mr.. Westeriield has
had the idea in his head for the past few
years that he had the world by the seat OF
its breeches, but will doubtless come to the
conclusion ere long, if he has not already,
that Lyon county is small part of the
country, and that he cannot govern it and
rule aver the people with rod Of iron.

surprise will there be at General Johnston
fear lest call concerned in 1t would he
considered by the public as swindlers.'
When the scheme WAS yet in its infancy
and before the telephone company was

to DIR. Rogers: q think your sugges-

From thi. il appears that in the beginning the

One thing these men were to do, was to secure
a comprehensive charter but though Senator
Harris drafted bill TO that end it was never
passed. These men broke faith with Dr.
Rogers, of whom they spoke in the highest
terms and he mas a right to feel aggrieSed.
A casual examination Of this correspondence
discloses some startling facts. These men pro-
posed to organize a telegraph company and sell
ont to the Government, of winch they were
officers. In one letter Secretary Young writes :
u If Harry can by any possibility invent any
"kind of telephone system that " Ill not De Il
apractical Infringement of any existing patent
" start il on "A small scale and dictate terms to
@Gonld." 1t thus evident that there was a
purpose to strike Western Union, rs well as
the Government. And these are the men that
the President chooses as advisers.
