-ANTI-aAMBLING ELECTION

Today . special election is being
held in Reno to decide the question of
licensing gambling in that city. The
way this election goes will no doubs
decide the fate of public gambling
in the state.
From a moral or economical stanG-
point there is not a word that may be
said in favor of gambling, but this ~
q big world and the gambling instinct
is strong in the hearts Of men. Wheth-
er it is better to license the practice,
and have it conducted openly ana
above board, instead of secretly and
without revenue to the state, has long
been a question upon which our best
citizens have failed to agree. Like
the social evil and the saloon question,
it can PROBABILITY be handled locally in
q more satisfactory manner than in any
other way.
The result of the election in Reno
today will be watched for with interest
by all classes of our people.

of Esmeralda county to investigate
certain charges made in the report OF
State Bullion Tax Collector Haley,
and to prosecute all persons found TO

of that county to see that the tax is
paid and to prosecute any man render
ing falsified statements.

see that the officers of those companies

NEW NATIONAL BISON
RANGE IN MONTANA

The bison range IN the Flathead
Indian reservation in Montana, 20
establish which congress at it's last
session appropriated $4,000, has been
selected. The location of the range
is the one recommended by Prof. Nor
ton j. Elrod, of the University OF
Montana, after he had carefully ex-
amined several parts of the country.
1t lies directly north of the Jocko
river near the towns of Ravall and
Jocko. Approximately 1880 acres are
embraced in the tract, which will be
fenced in a substantial manner under
the direction of the engineering depart
ment of the United States forest
service.
OF the 100000 appropriated only
800 will be available for fencing
the range and constructing the shelter
sheds and other buildings necessary for
the proper maintenance and care of the
bison. The remaining 100000 will b.
paid to the owners of the land, many
of whom are Indians. Funds for the
purchase of bison are being raised un-
der the auspices of the American Bison
society, which was largely instrumental
in securing the appropriation.
The first person to spend actual
money in the effort to preserve the
American bison from total extinction
was the late Austin Corbin, who manv
years ago fenced some 5000 acres at
Blue Mountain Park, New Hampshire.
and secured a he'd of bison. The Cor
bin herd became in course of time the
inspiration of the national movement
which is now furthered by the Ameri-
can Bison society. This society, OF
which President Roosevelt Is honorary
president, and William T. H~ornaday,
director of the New York Geological
park. is presid MT, was founded in 1904,
and the Montana bison range is direct
ly the results of it's efforts.
Details of the management of tbs
herd in the new national bison range
will be worked out as soon as the hero
is purchased, when the construction
work on fences and buildings will alsC
be begun.

kcounty, for United States senator as
citizen, typical of the state and il
people, able, competent, sincere an
honest, and in every way qualified t
represent US in Washington. We be
lieve the Hon. Francis Newlands shoui'
be succeeded in office as United Stat.
senator, in the election of a bona fid
citizen of Nevada. We are in accor,
with the agreement existing between
the Democratic and Republican ticket
relative to the election of United States
senator and we pledge the Legislative
nominees of this convention to vote fol
the candidate for the Office of Unitet
States senator receiving the highest
popular vote.
We endorse the candidacy of Col. Il,
b. Maxson for congress which his long
record of efficient public service and
his work in the interests of the West
make rim eminently fitted to represent
the state of Nevada in the national
house OF representatives.
We endorse the entire Republican
state ticket, and submit to the voters
of Humboldt county that they are
eminently fitted for the offices for
which they have been severally noml-
mated.
This convention of the Republican
party of Humboldt county stands
aghast at the imprudent and %extrava-
giant policies that have characterized
the present administration of the
county, and presenting a condition e
the fragrant waste of the public moneys.
We condemn the acts of the county
commissioners of Humboldt county IN
$4,000 a year more for county
printing and advertising than such
are reasonably worth, and We
point to the wide difference in cost to
county for printing and al
vertising than that of other counties,
similar in all respects to Humboldt
We charge that the practice of such
xtreme extravaganza has been counter
balanced by the practice of undue
economy along lines vitality affecting
the public, and that road work and the
health have thereby been
aegleeted.
We pledge our candidates for county
commissioner to improve the present
ieplorable condition of county roads,
into consideration the steady
of service required of such
roads. and not of their respective To-
.ation.
In submitting this platform of prin-
the Republican party respect
fully asks the suffrage of all progress
i've citizens.

~..DoUBT'' AS TO OHIO

Local Democrats are taking great
comfort from a letter received by one
of our business men from a former
Winnemucca boy to the effect that the
colored voters of Ohio this year are
supporting Bryan, presumably owing
to the fact that the notorious Senator
Foraker has been read out of the Re-
publican party on aecoun of his con-
nection with the Standard Oil com
pany.
AS in former years, the only doubt as
to Ohio is the size of the majority 1t
will return for the Republican can
didates.
