c. H. Miles Back From st.
Louis Talks Of Great
Exposition
MR.. MILES DISPOSES OF INTER
EST AT THE FAIR.
Attendance Has Fallen as Low as
5000 on Several Days
Since Opening.

| . = w 81
G. H. Miles yesterday returned
from St. Louis, where he has
been looking after his business
interests for some time past.
Mr.. Miles comes back to Bemidii
to stay and has arranged to dis.
pose Of his interest in the amuse.
ment enterprise, in whose pro.
motion he was Interested.
The failure of the Suburban
Street Car Go. to secure priv
leges at the fair grounds, which
it was intended and firmly be
|lieved could be easily secured,
was a disappointment to the com
pany in which Mr.. Miles was in
terested, who were building a
large ampitheatre, at which sew
eral bull fights are to be pulled
off, and promoting various enter
prises. The original plans would
have brought the street cars to
the very door of the Streets of
All Nations, but necessary
changes make their entrance to
the grounds a quarter of a mile
distant. The bull fights will take
place as originally intended, but
under the changed condition the
Streets Of All Nations cannot
hope for the patronage it would
otherwise and Mr.. Miles has dis
posed Of his interests.
Mr.. Miles says the attendance
at the fair has so far been
far from satisfactory The
opening day, when every bust
ness house in st. Louis was
closed, drew the largestcroWd of
any day yet at the fair, 1917 900
people. The attendance has
since been very unsatisfactory
and on several days has fallen as
low as 5000. Mr.. Miles says
that comparatively speaking not
one-fifth of the exhibits are yet
in place, still there is plenty to
satisfy the ordinary appetite for
sightseeing and a visit to the
fair that one could see everything
thoroughly and well would ex-
tend for easily two weeks. Mr..
Miles says that he would advise
fair visitors from this vicinity to
delay their visits until fall, when
all the exhibits will be.eo,1nietas
Avisit to the fair-s,,1r;na tha1 hot
-. Months will be some
ri s1fllng Of an ordeal.

AN EXPLANATION
OF Two Bills Allowed by the Com
missi0ners at Their Last Meeting.

missi0ners at Their Last Meeting.
During the week several inquiries
were made of the County Commission
ers regarding the SOL allowed j. w.
Ebert and the $50 80 allowed Sheriff
Burdick at the meeting of the Board ON
February /.
The SENTINEL has been requested to
state that Constable Ebert was allowed
SOL for bringing M. f. Comes from Beo-
wave to Eureka to be examined as to
his sanity. Comes was adjudged in
sane and sent to the Insane Asylum.
He was taken to Reno by Constable
Ebert, who was paid $3.50 for the trip
from Eureka to Reno by the State, the
same as all other officers are Ipaid who
take insane people to the Asylum from
Eureka County.
The claim Of Sheriff Burdick for
$3.50 was for taking Mrs. NJ. Dolan to
Reno. This bill had t o be paid by the
Commissioners because Mrs. Dolan is a
ward of Eureka County, and is being
cared for by this county as a feeble
minded person at the Nevada Hospital
for Mental Diseases at Reno.
