HELP ALONG THE CAUSE.

An INDEPENDENT reporter attend
ed an interesting meeting of the
Board of Control of the Elko County
Board of Trade last Tuesday evening.
The Secretary read a very interesting
report, giving the financial condition
Of the Board, the work that has been
done and other matters of interest,
not only to the members of the Board,
but to tho people generally.
After the routine business had been
gone through, the members of the
Board discussed the establishment of
a pork packing plant at Elko. Parties
of means have for some time been
in communication with the Board of
Trade in regard to the establishment
of plant here. If these parties can
be assured of two or three hundred
hogs to start with, such plant will
in all likelihood be built here in the
near future. These parties have cap
ital and with the assurance of the CO.
operation of the ranchers they are
willing to put their money, time and
experience into such an undertake
ing.
The Secretary of the Board has is
sued circulars to the farmers of the
county asking about this, as we'll as
other statistics, but SO far has not re-
ceived enough replies on which to
base satisfactory figures. Could
such an establishment be started
here, it would furnish means for the
ranchers to convert their surplus
grain into pork, thereby receiving
good price for 1t in home market,
Then, too, the pork, bacon, hams,
lard and other products of the hog,
for which large sums of money are
sent out of the county annually,
would be produced at home and this
drain upon our resources be stopped
We would, therefore, urge upon
every producer OF Elllo county. for
his own good, rs well as the good of
the county, to fill out these circulars
and give the Board fair show to do
something. Unless the producers
will co operate with the Board by fur.
nishing the desired information their
work will go for naught.
Besides this the Secretary reported
that he had received many letters of
inquiry in regard to mines and min.
ing, also from the Secretary of Agri-
culture and others concerning our
production Of cereals and other inter.
ests which cannot be answered until
statistics can be collected. 1t is to
the interest of every rancher, stock
raiser and miner that the Board of
Trade be furnished with the informa-
tion asked for in the circulars. With
out ii the Board can do nothing, but
with it the Board will be in position
to place the resources Of the county
intelligently before the homesecker
and the capitalist. Once more we
urge those who have received circu-
lars to fill them out, sign them and
send them to the Secretary of the
Board.

Women know the influence of beauty
on men; men rarely admire beautiful
invalid, but they do admire woman in
whom is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There is no secret about a woman's
beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes
to herself, to removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
of womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
ETC., keep it company. -

it, and praise it's discoverer. Your drug

medicines.
