, of the tree.
There were more believers in the
tree some years ago than there are
now, but that does not mean that there
are not great many who believeiEi it
to-day. Nor is the number by any
means confined to the old "mammies, -
"aunties" and other black folk. Ninety
nine per cent of the persons who pass
under the tree on their way through the
square probably never heard or read of
it. But there are others, and in this
case there are great many others.
The most marvellous stories are told
about the tree, and many of the stories
have believers. Also many of the stories
have some element of truth about them
In many cases it is great deal of story
and very minute particle of truth
But it is because there is some truth in
them that the tree has such clientele.
Faith does not cure all the ills that
it is asked to cure, but its followers are
sure that it cures in some instances
Hence there are faith cures.
The thousands of wishes that are
made under the wishing tree may end
up in!only coming true, but the wisher
who has been rewarded by it's favor
never loses an opportunity to sing it's
praises, and that is what makes the
wishing tree SO much more famous than
any of the other trees that are in the
same park.-Exchange

There is no foundation for the report
in circulation throughout the county
that the commissioners have paid the
county funds for improving the streets
of Elko. 1t is true that great deal of
work has been done on the streets of
Elko this year, but it has not cost the
Mpnty dollar. Every cent of the

funds. The records will show this.
People have a right to 'kick" at the
commissioners when they do wrong,
but is not fair to charge them with
something they have not done.
