xusERA WANTS A CHANGE. TOO

The following is taken from the VIM
Silver State Of October Is:
The Humboldt Comfy Bar Associa-
ton met last evening in the Office OF
Frank X. Murphy. Judge III. ). Bon
nifeld, w. S. Bonnifeld, James r.
Dennis, F. X. Murphy, ]. I. Wheeler
and C. D. Van Duzer were present, the
first named presiding. A resolution
was adopted that q committee be APP
pointed to request the District Judge
to have q regular term Of court each
month, and that the calendar be called
and cases set down, the third Monday
of each month to be known as calen-
dar day.
The committee appointed made
known its request and the relief asked
for wss granted. Judge Bonnifield
now opens Q session of Court on the
third Monday Of each month, and Eu-
reka county will have to assert itself
until we get some kind of a provision
by which we shall have Court held at
regular intervals. Since the term OF
Court held here last February, when
the Winzell- Tonkin cas- was tried, We
have had two flying visits from the
District Judge, and no more. Under
this condition Of hsp-hazard, lick-and-
promise, the people of the surround
ing country are unable to know when
Court will be held. or if the session will
be long enough for their cases to be
tried, and as a result there is less bust
ness done in the town by the people
who live in the interior Of the dis
trict. II the people who live out
side the town of Eureka, having legal
matters to come before the Court,
knew at a stated period a session
would be held, there would be regular
visits made by them, and while here
they would undoubtedly transact other
business. In this way 1t would be
a great convenience to the people
from the outside.
The Judge Of this district receives q
salary of $4,000 a year and his travel
ing expenses, Of which Lander county
pays 81, 1873. so, Nye 1919, and Eureka
81 ,042.50 (. We pay more than the
other two counties together. and
should be entitled TO attention in pro-
portion to what we pay. 1t is out
raQeous that under the present laws oil
Nevada a county can be compelled to
pay such an enormous percentage OF
the judicial salary and receive so ridic-
ulously small compensation, and some
thing ought to be done to remedy it.

Of being reduced to figures. but ground

to ascertain just what the weather
has been on that day and for the fol-

weather than the ground hog did in
the last decade Of the nineteenth CEN
tury. Putting the condition Of the
weather on February in one column I
and then comparing it with the pre- !
