Carlinwill;Not Be Moved.

EDITOR INDEPENDENr:-Wi the r.
r. Co. move the interests it has at
Carlin from there to Elko? The an
swer is "No." Not for one hundred
thousand dollars in gold coin paid in
hand would 1t make such a. move. A
proposition of that nature to the
Board of Directors of the Southern
Pacific Company would not receive
two.m minute consideration. The idea
Is not only ridiculous one to that in
telligent body of men, but to any
reasonable. thinking, practical man,
who has any practical knowledge of
railroadng, and who knows anything
Of the valuable and innumerable ad.
vantages that company enjoys at
Carin, and who is familiar with the
location Of the town Of Elko, it's ad.
vantages and Disadvantages, is sim.
ply the most absurd idea or PROPOSE
ton that could be agitated by any
class of men.
But to tell the people that the
above mentioned move, will never
take place is not the object Of this
letter. It is to recall to the minds of
the citizens Of Elko county the many
instances we have heretofore had as
proof of a certain rotten, selfish, I'M
principled, agitating element there is
located at our county seat.
wish it decidedly understood here
that these words of censure are not
meant for the good people who live at
our county seat which constitute, 30
far as we know, ninety.nine per cent.
of Its population, but it is the one.
hundredth per cent. which is the poi
son OF the town, as well as Of the en-.
tire county. or this every old time.
citizen Of the county is thoroughly ia.
niliar. 1t is an element that works
entirely and Constantly for self, and
not for the people Of the. various val
leys Of the county, the people OF
Wells, Tuscararo or Carlin, but 10 cut
the Threats Of every one individually
and collectively, is it's main and only
object.
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1896-03-05

The recent agitation this element
has perpetrated for the downfall and
obhteration of the town of Carlin,
and throwing out upon the world in
shame and disgrace to beg for a iv-
ing or starve, the many widows and
orphans we have among us who are
now making q decent and creditable
living by renting a room or two of
their rented dwelling to employees Of
the railroad company, by taking In
washing, sewing, making few loaves
OF bread occasionally, etc, in some
manner or other making an honest
living, at the same time schooling
their children and giving them the
same advantages that our best stu
ated children are getting. Besides
all this, the herein mentioned agitat
ing: element living at EIko would
have destroyed and made valueless at
this place at the least estimate, $780,.
600 worth OF property, and put twenty
to thirty of as good citizens as ever
lived in the county, and who are full
average taxpayers, out upon the
world again, empty-handed, without
anything to show for the effort and
energy of their past lives. All this
for the individual benefit of not ex-
ceeding one half dozen men.
If the Southern Pacific Company
should desire, of its own accord, to
move the interests they Ihave'here to
Elko, Battle Mountain. Winnemucca,
Wells, or any place else, we would
not have word to say. But for the
people at our county seat to have
brought about such destructive
move is unquestionably a low, de
based, inhuman act. and void of all
moral principle.
We are made to believe that many
who supported this move did it with
out proper consideration or knowing
the situation Of things as they are;
but the proposition was suddenly and
forcibIy made and brought to bear by
the aforementioned agitating ele.
ment, and, in that way, probably,
many good-meaning men supported
move that, in their hearts, they do not
sanction. ..
Now, let the good retract their acts
in this matter, and let the unjust take
a lesson by it, is the wish of every cit
izen of Carlin, as well as every good
citizen throughout the county.

THE DEPRESSED WOODEN INDUS
TRY.

When the democratic tariff law was
enacted its supporters assured the
country that free wool would give a
great impetus to the wooden manufac-
turing industry, says the Omaha Bee.
1t was asserted that free wool was the
one thing that industry needed for its
rapid development and for enabling it
to enter into successful competition
with the British wooden manufacturers
in the worlds markets. What is the
experience thus far? For a time there
was a revival of activity in the wooden
industry, not because of free wool, but
for the reason that the American mar
ket had become pretty thoroughly de-
pleted Of wooden goods and there was a
demand for them. but that demand
having been supplied, very largely by
heavy importations, the wooden indus
try has for ONE months been depres-
sed and the immediate outlook for it
is far from bright. Not only have
American wooden manufacturers found
no appreciate increase in their sales
abroad, but they are not getting that
share of the home demand which
would enable them to keep their mills
in full operation and give remunera-
tive employment to labor. Some have
been compelled to shut down alto
gether, others have partially lone SO,
and of those that are running on full
time few are doing so at a profit.
The New York Press recently OBJ
tanned statements of the situation from
a number of the most extensive wooden
manufacturers in New England, all of
whom report the conditions most I'M
satisfactory, and all agree that the
democratic tariff is responsible. From
the general tenor of these communica-
tons it is safe to say that within the
next two or three months the Ameri-
"a wooden industry will be at as low a
point as when the depression was most
severe, and it must be perfectly plain
to all who can look at the matter in a
practical and unprecedented way that
recovery is out of the question while
the existing tariff remains. Free WOO
has been no benefit to the American
manufacturer, while it has done enor.
o injury to the wool growing inter,
est. 1t is not surprising that the sen.
timent among wooden manufacturers
and the growers of wool is unanimous
against the democratic tarim and ir
favor of restoring the policy displaced
by that tariff.

COLD WEATHER IN AFRICA.
Natives are Sometimes Frozen t,
Death in the Dark Continent.

In spite of all that has been written
lately about the Transvaal republic
most people have an utterly mistaken
idea about it," said Albert Gerard
Theirs, the tenor, who is well ac-
quainted with it, the other day. Most
people, | find, think that any spot in
Africa is torrid and terrifically hot at
all times, whereas, in reality many of
the nights, and particularly in June,
are very cold, and it takes all the rugs
and blankets that one possesses to
keep him warm.
Though the midday sun is almost
as warm as any summer day." the
tenor went on, one needs 10 be well
provided with covering if he proposes
to pass the night on the veldt. To give
you some idea of the cold of the plains
at night, | may tell you that a few win
ters ago several natives on their way
to the fields were frozen stiff on the
road from Pretoria to Potchefstrom.
Several of our party n day start
ed from B~loemfontein for Pretoria,
where the shooting was particularly
good. taking with us a couple of boys
change of linen. or, rather. %flannels, a
pair of blankets each. the cooking
utensils. and a spare gun. We had for
our companion a young man whom we
had met a few days previous to our de-
parture-a young Scotchman, but late
ly arrived in the country.
Starting about 2 o'clock in the aft
%ernoon, we walked briskly, with occa-
sional halts for coffee, until about 10
O'Clock at night, when the moon shone
out in full, and we decided to turn in
for the night. The wind was already
blowing pretty fresh, and we looked
about for a place in the veldt where the
ant hills were the thickest, so that we
could set fire to two of them to heat
our kettles and keep us warm during
the bivouac. After having a II of
coffee and sitting around the fire
until thoroughly warmed, our party
slipped off their boots, and putting
them under our heads for pillows,
pulled our blankets over our heads and
feet and were 500 fast asleep. imagin-
ing. of course. the Scotchman would
do the same.
about 2 o'clock. when the night was
coolest, we were awakened by a dread
full groaning, and. pulling our heads
from out our coverings, were astonish-
ed to see Mac huddled up on the
ground. with nothing over him but a
rubber overcoat, shivering. chattering,
and moaning piteously. The fire was
out. An icy wind was sweeping around
the veldt. Good gracious. Mac, what's
the matter? Where are YOU blank
ets?' we cried. 4 didn't bring any,
