IhEce MllieS OF dalleck yesterday. Good
progress is being made on the heavy
cuts at Ryndon and the work will DO
completed in two or three weeks. This
indicates that the Western Pacific will
be in Elko by the middle of December
if not before.
The labor unions of London estimate
that 10 per cent of the country's skilled
workmen are idle 1T the present time.
The proportion of unskilled workmen
out of work is much larger. The unions
estimate that the army of the unem-
ployed now numbers 100000 and is
steadily increasing in size.
Mrs. Caine and son arrived from
Reno this morning after an absence of
seueFal months, in which the little hoy
has undergone sever surgical treatment.
We are intensely pleased to note that
the little fellow returns cured. He has
suffered greatly in the last eighteen
months, while undergoing treatment.
The INDEPENDENT wishes the Carson
News and the rest of the state papers
to understand that Elko county gave
over $50 majority for the police law.
The town of Elllo where Mr.. Skaggs
made his warlnest fight against the bill
gave it 81 majority. This shows his
great influence where he is best known.
Herman Zadig, San Francisco stock
broker, writes the Reno Gazette that
the people of Nevada disgraced them
selves by voting for Bryan. Isn't it too
bad that Mr.. Zadig did not make his
feelings known before the ballots were
castP Had he done so the votes of
Nevada would surely have boen cast
for Taft.
Mr.. Willis returned from Gold Cir
Gle last night. He brought with him
specimen of ore from that camp that

and predicts that there will be 3, 800
people in the Gold Circle district by the

Two local engineers of Munich, Ba-
varia, have produced bullet proof
breastplate, which has just been put to
severe test. The breastplate resembles
a pair of corsets; it's weight is about
six pounds, and it is made of thin strips
of steel. each four centimeters in width.
Eighteen shots were fired at the breast.
plate at distance of thirty three feet,
but every bullet failed to pierce it, nor
could three shots fired from Browning
revolvers at the same distance pierce
the steel strips
At Tuesdays elections, the figures in
this Office show that 982 votes were cast
for courthouse bonds and 442 against,
a majority of 1856 for the courthouse.
These figures will be changed by the
official count as three or four precints
are yet to hear from on this question.
While Elko gave majority of 3O4 for
the bonds, the county outside of Elko
gave the new courthouse 1872 majority.
This stops the opponents of the court
house from saying that the country beat
the bonds and that the vote of Elko
carried them.

FLORIDA CELERY GOOD

The New York Produce News says
that there was a liberal supply of eel
cry last week. As the California sup
ply is cleaning up, the Florida product
was in good demand and the market
was easily sustained at 81 for six doz-
en- cases and S3G3.5O for three and a
half dozen cases. Some of the crop
is coming in green and not well
bleached. Growers are anxious to
take advantage of the present high
prices and are rushing their stock to
market before it is thoroughly matur-
ed.
About FIVE cars of California celery
are yet on track. This is moving out
fairly well at $4G4.5O per crate. Ten
cars of Jersey Island stock are roll
ing. This will clean up the California
celery shipment this year.

MORE FARMING NECESSARY

Citra, Fla, March 1G, 1908.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
| wonder if the farmers of Marion
county ever stop to rest their weary
bodies on their farms and think of
farming being the Oldest as well as
the purest industry of maknind?
Agriculture, though practically in
early days without any correct knowl-
edge of cause and effect. was always
held in high esteem. Five thousand
years ago, which was long before
money was in use, Egypt hourished
and was building her great pyramids.
one alone employing one hundred
thousand men for thirty years to COM
plete this great stone structure" To
this day there is inscribed upon its
walls, III Egyptian characters. the i'm
mense sums it cost in leeks, garlic
onions and the like, and let me re-
mind you again that the brightest
minds and the most perfect sneci-
mems Of mankind have been deveIOD-
ed on the farm.
1t was in the Egyptian schools tina,
Moses was taught to become the great

The art Of husbandry is so necessary
for the support of human life and the

ness Of mankind have so great q de.
pendence upon it that the wisest men
IN all ages have ascribed its origin IN
God as the inventor and ordainer M
It, and this great industry is lust as
vital for the sustenance of life TODAY

MARTEL JoTTlNGs
Special Cor. Ocala Banner:


After long suspension, caused by
sick family, a press of numerous
matters and unreliable labor, this
scribe resumes his jottings for Martel
and vicinity
The farmers are just now getting
their crops planted, possibly because
of an unusual late Easter. which is
supposed by some to indicate a late
spring. The whip-pOOr-wills, hOwev-
er, have begun their nightly songs.
and the farmers are getting a move
on them So much for early training
Rain is very much needed and the
young oranges are dropping badly
from the effects of the dry weather.
There is a glut Of vegetables in the
market of Nartal and some are feed
ing splendid cabbage to their hogs.
This is caused in part by some of the
Martel Lumber Company going into
the vegetable business, and some of
its leading inhabitants raising their
own supplies.
The Martel Lumber Company, hav-
ing cleaned up its timber near the
mill that is ready for use, have trans
/ ferred their operations eight miles
south in the vicinity of Petteway's
still.
A number of excellent families have
moved into Martel, whose inhabitants
as a whole will compare favorably
with the most progressive towns Of
/ the state.
The death of Miss Fannie Seckin-
! ger cast a gloom of sorrow upon the
people of Martel and the surrounding
country. She was a most estimable
lady. and after the death of her moth
| er acted as both sister and mother to
her brothers. whose irreparable loss
to them will be sadly felt. They have
the sympathy of all of our people.
J. H. Seckinger of Martel has locat-
ed an irrigating plant at Martel on
the elevated plan for pipes, which
when in working order will probably
revolutionize the system of raising
vegetables on an extensive scale.
