The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1902-09-27
CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY.
Loyelock's Representative on the Democratic
Legislative Ticket.

The announcement of w. c. Noteware
Of Lovelock, Democratic nominee for
Assemblyman, appears in this issue.
The silver State takes an especial pleas
ure in indorsing Mr.. Noteware's candi-
dacy, his nomination being undoubtedly
one of the strongest made by the recent
Democratic county convention. The wis
dom of the nominating body will receive
the unqualified Endorsement of the people
at the polls and we venture the predic-
ton that he will go right to the front
when the Legislature meets next win
ter and prove himself one Of the most
energetic and capable members of the
Assembly.
This year native sons are taking a lead
ing part in the States political affairs.
and Mr.. Noteware is luckily able to fill
the bill. He was born in Carson forty
one years ago and was also educated in
Nevada, having graduated from the
State University at Elko. He has had
an active career In the business and Of
hcial life of this State. For eight years
he was clerk in the State land office,
resigning to accept the chief ~clerkship in
the United States mint at Carson. He
held this position during the ~incumbency
of Governor Adams and was retained by
Governor Colcord when he was appointed
superintendent of the mint. When the
United States assay office was establish
ed at Seattle, Mr.. Noteware was trans
ferred there, but resigned shortly after
ward, finding that his interests in this
county, where he had made investments
several years previously. demanded his
entire attention. Since 1892 Mr.. Note
ware has been a taxpayer of Humboldt
county and he has for the last three
years claimed a residence In this county.
Last year he purchased a home in Love-
lock and moved his family there.
The extent of Mr.. Noteware's property
interests in Humboldt county is shown
by the tax roll for this year. which
shows him to be assessed as follows:
Individual assessment, $4,000. Pitt &
Noteware (one-half). 1880: L. l.. & d.
Company. (o~ne-sixth). s17.l20. Mr.. Note
ware has always been an enthusiastic
advocate Of irrigation projects for the
reclamation of the arid lands of Ne
vada and is one of the best informed men
in the State on this important subject.
He has been instrumental in carrying
two ~well-known irrigation projects to
comprehensive Alpine Land and Reser-
voir Company, in Carson valley, and the
Lovelock Land & Development Company,
- w.lsaL - H. ..sw.,, me
moters, at Lovelock. This latter en-
terprise has the distinction of being the
first private company to inaugurate a
system of irrigation by means of reser-
voirs built with it's own capital. 1t is
a step In advance of national irrigation.
4 This company is now engaged in reclaim
! Ing 1900 acres Of heretofore arid lands.
Mr.. Noteware's experience. considering
his connection with the land office and
his subsequent practical Investigations,
has given him a clear insight into the
legislation which is necessary to pro-
mote the agricultural interests of the
State and place II in line TO receive the
practical and far-reaching benefits which
will accrue to Nevada through the
Newlands irrigation law.
Mr.. Noteware is a typical Nevadan
and a man whose affability and good
humor make him friends wherever he
goes. He is not a newcomer, because his
whole life has been spent in the State.
and he is In the s~trictest sense a resi-
dent of this county, where all his inter-
ests lie and with whose development and
upbuilding he Is so closely and thorough
ly Identified. He is of the class of men
that do things and is an untiring work
er in everything he undertakes. just
such men are needed in the Legislature
and by electing him the people of Hum
boldt county will serve their own best
interests by securing the services OF a
capable, energetic legislator.
