Good for Old Lander

The new regime which will take
charge of the affairs of the county the
first of January will find the financial
condition of the county in much bet
ter condition than that which confront
ed their predecessors few years ago.
The railroad bonds have all been taken
up. That financial burden of 5000, 600
with many more thousands in interest,
so willingly assumed by the people of
Lander county for the purpose of OBJ
tanning better transportation facilities
has been wiped out.
Ten years ago when Henry Dye
Went into the Office of Recorder and
Auditor, there were $47, 900 90 of these
bonds outstanding. The final dollar
was paid on this debt last September.
In 1904, the county was on a script
basis and to do cash business it was
necessary for the county to issue bonds
in the amount of $27, 10000.
At the present time this bonded in
debtedness has been reduced to $40, 900.
From the first installment of the taxes
of this year there will be available for
the redemption fund about 5000. O0O
which added to the amount already in
that fund, $13, 10000 will make money
enough in sight to wipe out this debt
during next year.
The second tax installment next year
should more than be ample to take up
these bonds and the new officials will
have the pleasure of making the final
transactions that will clear Lander
county of debt.
The above record is all the more
creditable and Indicative of the increas-
ing prosperity of the county, when it
is remembered that the Dwyer murder
trial cost the county something over
$12, 100000, to say nothing of other costly
litigation Reveille

May Cause Complications

There is trouble in the southland in
legal matters which seems to cause
anxiety in many quarters. 1t appears,
so the story goes, that Mark Averin.
the newly elected District Judge of
Nye county, will appear before the
Judges of the Supreme Court when
they sit us a Board of Canvassers on
the forthcoming Monday and demand
that his election as District Judge of
Nye county be declared. Immediately
thereafter he will demand from the
Governor certificate of election and
commission to take effect immediately.
The commission now held by Judge
OBrien, reads that he shall hold office
until the first Monday in January, 1909,
but Averill desires to take the office at
once. Should this be done it would
cause many complications in the south
ern district. During the disputed time
many important decisions must be
rendered and some claim that the
interests are trying to place Averill
in the judgeship before his time in the
hope of receiving favorable decisions.
1t is not believed that the commission
will be granted to Averill.

Mrs. Elijah S. Yeates

A telegram from Los Angeles Sunday
brought the news that Mrs. Elijah s.
Yeates, the mother of Mrs. ]. L. Keyser
and Mrs. A.W. Hesson, was dead.
Mrs. Yeates was born near Montreal.
Canada, 70 years ago. In July 1869, she
came to Elko with her husband and
family. She resided here until 1878.
when the family moved to Tuscarora.
In the early SOS, she went with her
husband to Yakima, Washington, where
they resided until few years ago when
they took up their residence ut Los
Angeles.
An aged husband and five daughters,
Mrs. A. w. Hesson, Mrs. J. l.. Keyser,
Mrs. Frank Parsons, Mrs. Thomas
Davidson and Miss Belle Yates, survive
her.
Mrs. Ieates was one of the pioneers
of Elko and was we'll known to many
OF our people. She was active in church
work and was one of the six organizers
of the Elko Presbyterian church. She
lived an earnest, christian life and died
strong in the faith. e. g."
Two years ago she celebrated her
golden wedding. Now she sleeps with
the countless millions gone before. The
record of her life is closed, but on it's
pages is left priceless legacy to those
who mourn.
May God comfort and console the
aged husband and all whose heartstrings
are torn by their mothers death.

'versmiths. These costly .cosaques,
which. were enshrined in an exquis-
lite silver box, had wrappers of rare
old lace and figured satin, and each
contained in a silver casket, which
formed its centre, a valuable ring or
brooch. But, so far as we know,
the costliest cracker on record was
one constructed Of gold in such faith
full imitation of a sheaf Of wheat
that its modelling kept an industri-
Gus goldsmith hard at work for six
months. Tucked away IN this golden
sheaf was a ring set with rare and
perfectly matched pearls; and the
sum paid for this king Of crackers,
which measured only four inches in
length, was s400.-Dundee Adver-

The ARGUMENT of Our Longing,

This heart-hunger for God, which
Is the deepest reading Of human his
tory, is a tacit argument for that
which will supply it. We expect or
respondence between an instinct and
that which will satisfy it, between a
faculty and its object, between a need
and its fulfillment. We were made
for God. 1t is written in every as
piration, and breathed in every pray
Ter; we were born for the love Of God.
No work, no engrossment, or cul-
ture of natural powers, will satisfy a
man who has once awakened to his
heart-need. Only a faith like that
expressed in the great words of St.
Augustine can satisfy: Thou hast
made us for Thyself, and our heart
is restless till it finds rest in Thee"

Life and Death.

Love is life, and lovelessness Is
death. AS, the grace Of God changes
a mans heart and cleanses and sane
titles him, this is the great evidence
of the change, this is the great differ
ence which it makes: that he begins
to grow in love, to lay aside self-seek-
ing, and to live for others-and so he
may know that he has passed from
death unto life.
He may know 1t eve here and
now-yes, that great discovery Of
love, that learning to live for others
and feeling the grace and gentleness
that God is keeping up all over the
world-even now it changes homes,
it lightens every burden, 1t brings
peace and gladness into the hardest
days; it alters eve the tone Of a
mans voice and IT, very look of his
face; but all this, bi> ,sed and sur
passing as it is. far above all else in
the world, still is but the beginning.
For that life into which we pass, as
Gods dear grace of love comes in us
and about us, is the very life of Heav-
en.-Francis Paget.
