square miles IT territory, north and

advantageous location as such, and
has the natural requirements ard
qualifications for the position in the
county that she holds, but we submit
that the first care of her people
should ue to set an example to the
people throughc ut the county and
the State, TO foster her institutions
with an ever watcbful regard and to
nurse her natural advantages with
the jealous eye of a mother.

ish legitimate enterprise and give it
the support OF our approval. On the
other hand. we should be prompt to
put the stamp OF our disapproval
upon anything which is so far color
able Of crooked 4vss that it taints the
fair name OF the county and the
Stat-. SO long as TN enterprise
proves it's bona file intentions, SO
long is it commendable and laudable,
but when it smacks of speculation
then it is that it acts as poison to the
country and drawback to the ulti-
mate SUCCESS and standing of our
State.
We have a great State, in natural
resources second to but few, and Elko
county is the example Of the eastern
section Of it. We cannot afford. be-
fore we know the facts. to condemn
and adiudge an undertaking as being
fraudulent, and, without provocation
or excuse, to stamp it 30; neither can
we afford to lie idly by and see the
name of our State, our county. or our
town become bywoTd for. swlndle
or a synonym for rottenness. Too
long has the world at large discrim-
mated against Nevada. 1t is time
that we use discrimination our selves.
1t should be the effort of every CIT
izen to stand for cleanliness Of bust
ness transactions in every sense; to
maintain the integrity Of orr name.
No longer should Neyadans allow
their State to become the dumping
ground OF swindling' schemes and
populations. Let every man uphold
an Undertaking which has the merit
Of honesty and the justification OF

We should indicate this feeling and
