The Las Vegas county division
boomers are at Carson City
pleading their cause before the
members of the legislature, and
conspicuous among the number
is former sheriff Charles C.
Corkhill.
Rhyolite has caught the county
division fever too, and a number
of citizens of that progressive
place are lobbying at the state
capital in an effort to have
the southern part of Nye coun-
ty chopped off, and Rhyolite
designated as the county seat
of the proposed new county.
The Rhyolite boomers, how
ever, have encountered op-
position Of a strenuous kind from
the northern end of Nye, and
one of the strongest arguments
being advanced is that if the
scheme should go through it
will mean higher taxation.
Just exactly what it will mean
to the taxpayers Of this county,
particularly to those of the south
ern half Of it, which the Las We
castles want for the proposed
county of Clark.
The following on the subject
of county division has been re-
ceived from James w. Abbott,
the well-known mining engineer
of this city:
Phoebe, New, Jan. 81, 1909.
Editor Pioche Record:
Sir The private interests of
the town of Las Vegas and of
certain aspiring politicians have
led to methods which were i'll

Yuba East IS one of the big mines
of the Piocle district; it already
has an enviable record of pro-

In the struggle.
The fight IN Alabama is being watched with inter-
est all over the country In the effort to abolish
the liquor traffic Alabama has gone to legislative
extremes seldom or never before witnessed in the
war on the saloon and 1t is upon this fact that the
-prohibitionists base their hope OF a reaction
If this reaction develops it's effect will undoubtedly
be felt in other states where the temperance move
ment has been making progress. and its influence
it is believed. will be to check the movement II
on the other hand, Alabama indorses its prohibition
laws-drastic as they are-by writing prohibition
in the constitution then it will give new courage
TO the temperance forces throughout the country
and other states will no doubt bring forward laws
as farreaching as those now on the statute books
Of Alabama The election, in other words is going
TO prove big boost to one of the sides in the tenn
perance controversy, and the fight is being made
with thorough understanding on both sides as to
its bearing upon the future OF the temperance
movement in the country at large
PARTY LINES IGNORED.
Party lines are being ignored entirely in the
struggle over the amendment. Men prominent in
the Democratic and Republican parties are found
both sides of the controversy, neither side paus-
ing to inquire to the tariff views political
leanngs of the recruits. The head of the Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee is in the race for
Governor on the prohibition platform, and the
chairman of the regular State Republican Execu-
tive Committee is ardent advocate of the pro-
posed amendment Though solicited to call his
committee together 10 take some action upon the
issue he declined do So declaring that it not
a political issue, and that the Republican party as
an organization should keep it's hands off. On the
other hand the head of the old "insurgent organi-
zation among the Republicans. W. Davidson, OF
ngham-came out fat-footed against the
amendment and declared that the Republicans OF
the state should fight it organization. So II
goes. on all sides evidence OF division crops out
and no ties, political religious binding in
the face Of the struggle now
A majority adopt the amendment, a two
thirds vote of the people not being necessary and
this the opponents have unusually
difficult task before them Yet they fighting
with vast courage and with a display OF conf
dence that has proved disconcertlng to the advo-
of the measure in some instances.
It is too early to predict anything except that it
is going to be Of the hottest fights Alabama
experienced and that its result will prove
more farreaching in its effect upon the national
temperance movement than any election held in re-
cent years.
