STATEMENT MADE
BYW. H.A, Pike
IN REFERENCE TO RESIDENCE IN
WINNEMUCCA.
If 1t Becomes Necessary That Either
Judge Orr or Myself Must Reside
at Winncmucca I Shall Be VIII
ling to Take My Turn

In reference to the question of one
OF the new district judges elect resid-
ing at Winnemucca and the rumor that
neither desired to take up a residence
here, w. II. A. Pike has the following
to say in letter received this morn.
ing:
Judge Orr and myself have not yet
fully discussed the subject matter of
one of US taking up a residence in
Winnemucea. OF course, the statute
provides, as you know, that one of the
judges shall reside at and hold court
in Winnemucca, and the other shall re-
side at and hold court in Reno. That
statue was passed at q time when the
town Of Fallon was scarcely on the
map. Since the passing of that statue,
the town of Fallon and the county Of
Churchill have gone rapidly to the
front, and at this time there is with
mt que stion Of doubt at least two
or three times as much litigation in
Churchill county as there is in Hum
boldt county.
$50 far as I am concerned I shall
make it my first endeavor to do my
full duty as one of the district judges
of the Secand Judicial District, and
see TO it that all litigation is promptly
attended to. If it becomes necessary
under the law that one of us must re-
side at Winnemucca, shall willingly
take my turn at such q residence, but
Il seems TO me that Reno is the proper
place from which to transact the busi-
ness of the district. ] wish to say to
any inquiring citizen Of Winnemueca ~
Humboldt county, that ! shall see that
court is held at Winnemueca at least
once every month during my term Of
office. and as much oftener as the bus
mess Of the county requires.

"Business is rushing with ME these
days." says C. A. Vanvolkenburg, of
the VanVolkenburg barber snop.
A glance in the shop justifies the
statement of the popular proprietor
To get a shave there one will have to
60 early and wait turn.
A square deal in business and a good
shave is the motto Of this shop. The
proprietor knows his business and no
man is big enough, nor tricky enough
to tell him how he shall run his bust
ness. Such a procedure is bringing to
Mr.. Van Volkenburg patronage and
friends by the score.
