obtuinable and ut the same time prac-.

point, favor such site. The segrega-
ton of court house and Jail is desirable,
provided that two building are not far
removed from each other; or, if the
court house and jail shall be in one
building the departments of justice and
of discipline should be distinctly apart.
In this proposed site this condition is
made possible in manner most iprac-
teal, permitting the Jail quarters on
the convenient level of the Flat with
the more beautiful portion of the build
ing, with its department of justice, ON
the higher ground where winds, sand
storms and dust do not prevail; where
the view from within is unsurpassed
only by that which the building and.
grounds themselves will furnish to
those without.
The expenditure Of 100000 in a:
building of permanent character for:
public or for private use might always.
at Elko or in other communities be made
where it will be the most lasting benefit.
and convenience to the gre ltSst number
of those interested.
To this end site TO the western end
of town as it stands today should appeal
as most logical. Elko is growing. Its
residential portion to the west has al
ready taken such firm footing as to
establish beyond the power of argument
that in the future this direction will be
maintained, The establishment of the
Western Pacific shops, material yards,
roundhouses, icing plants and superin-
tendent's headquarters in the western
end of .Elko will force such business
there in u shorter time than this pop
ulace recognizes. The building of a
public plunge and sanitarium in the
western end of Elko at a cost of over
$75, 900 is ready an assured fact. Ar
rangement are completed for the grad
ing, graveling, curbing and sidewalking
of the main street from the depot to
the roundhouse site making the best
thoroughfare the town has ever known.
Business houses are already in contem-
plation and the western portion of Elko
is destined to be the great, prosperous,
thickly settled end of the town within
the next fow years. This is now firmly
and positively established. The rail
roads have assisted in this by the loca-
ton of their depots, and are now
negotiating for warehouse sites far to
the west of their present location.
Within three years a court house
situated On block I'D" will be in the
east and west business centre of Elko.
A court house built in block will be
farther removed from the principal
business houses than block ID" is re-
moved from them today. This is not
prophecy; it is fact.
From the standpoint of advertising
advantages block ID" has no COM
petitor in the available sites at Elko
The soil OH this hill and slope is rich,
loamy and fertile. Upon it can be
raised as beautiful grass lawn as in
any valley, and trees planted thereon
will with proper care and attention,
thrive. In the general plan of develop
ing and identifying in the development
of Elko the whole slope of the ''Hill" to
the west of Elko will be planted in
grass and shrubbery; we'll watered;
Systematically terraced, and made
attractive to the eye. Let this work of
start around the grounds of a
building of such architectural beauty as
will result from the expenditure of |
800, 600 upon it, and estimate if you
can the thousands of inquiries which
will be ellicited from the great army of
westbound home-seekers travelling
through here year after year in con-
stantly increasing multitudes.
