The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1902-06-21

10 the Editor Of the skxrru:

Reno is talking and working at Car
nival matters and one hears but little
else. The contest for Queen is at fever
heat now. Monday night at 9 o'clock
the voting closes. Miss Avenzeno, a
native Of Wsshoe county but OF Italian
pa~rentage, is, so far. the most prominent
candidate. while Miss Becker and Miss
McGowen are strong. The remarks one
hears about Miss Avenzeno are neither
patriotic nor fair. 1t Is said that if she
is elected there will be difficulty in get
ting Maids of Honor for her on account
Of her lineage. Ii she wins out and the
young ladies Of the State selected to act
as Maids Of Honor refuse to appear with
her. it will simply show that their breed
ing is faulty and their Judgment worse.
Miss Avenzeno is . beautiful girl, well
educated and in every way qualified. ]
can't help but hope she may win, in order
to test the mettle Of Der competitors.
Reno's gates will be wide open Carni-
val week and nesriy every home in the
town will be thrown open to visitors.
The Carnival promises to Be Q great sue
cess.
Reno promises to Be quite . woodbury.
ing center. The Flanagan Warehouse
Company have over 100000 pounds in
store, and the town is full of wool e
Bean-eating Boston is represented, Phils-
delphia is here; in fact, nearly all the
wool commission houses from Boston to
San Francisco are represented. The
Flanagan Warehouse Company has ad-
vertised q sale for Monday and it is ex-
pected there will be sharp bidding for the
1000. 900 and over pounds now in storage.
Mr.. Flanagan, if the sale is a success,
will be doing the wool men OF Nevada q
good service.
Van Duzer, the candidate for Congress
On the Fusion ticket, and Lem Allen and
r. Sadler, Gubernatorial candidates on
the same ticket, are about the only polit-
ral aspirants that are out in the open.
The fight between Allen and Sadler for
the nomination promises to be red hot.
Sadler is a worker and is accused OF
making combinations with other candi-
Gates. Allen is also better than a green
land at the political pump. Should
sadler get tangled up in LENS whiskers
he is quite likely to be tripped up. Lem
has whiskers enough for the whole Fu-
sim party, and a few race horses and
scme dollars %(silver dollars, too,) to throw
into the fight should he get the nomina-
ton. Sadler is 'doing'' politics in the
west and central part of the State every
day. Just what encouragement he is
meeting with your correspondent does
not know. He says, however, that he is
all right; but as politicians talk some
times through their hat, / use a little salt
or their ~utteraDces.
Van Duzer is ~galloping over the State
here to-day and there Tomorrow; "open-
ing an Office" in one place to-day and in
another tomorrow. Van is a great man
ipulator.
Newlands is getting his full share of
credit for Reno's $50. 900 p~ostofice build
ing and for the Irrigation bill Just passed.
Under the new law Nevada will get about
$4,000 in the Irrigation fund annually if
the State disposes Of as much land every
year as she did last year. 1t will take
some time to get money enough to do
much, but it is a starter towards solv-
ing the irrigation problem for the arid
West. So Mr.. Newlands is entitled to
what belongs to a man elected to look
after the States interest in the lower
House of the national Congress. 1 am
not much of a hero worshiper, however,
and if l give Mr.. Newlands credit for do
ing his duty l will have done my full
duty and will leave the smoke blowing to
his lieutenants, firmly convinced that
they will blow plenty and perform their
work we'll.
The Republicans of Nevada are still at
work at the woodpile and are not making
much noise, but it is pretty generally
conceded that if the factions which have
split the party in former years get to-
gether they will put up a pretty good
fight for an "off yea7."
