COMMISSIONER PROCEEDINGS
The Bids For Building Road
Near Palisade Are Rejected
For Several Reasons

The Board Of County Commissioners
met Friday. November %. and trans
acted the following business:
The Board opened the bids for the
construction Of the road through Pine
Creek canyon. near Palisade. There
were only two bids submitted, u BY
]. ID. Murphy for the hi Of 1876. and
one by O. H. Rand for the sum of sl700.
Both bids were rejected for the follow
ing reasons:
When the matter Of constructing the
above piece Of road was considered by
the Board it vas represented to the Com
m~issioners that the said piece of road
could be constructed for from $500 to
$1,000, and that certain parties in Pail
SADIE who were interested in building
the road were willing to donate the
sum Of $500 towards the expense.
There being not sufficient money in
the county road fund for the present
and succeeding year to build said road,
the Commissioners asked for and OBJ
tanned permission from the State Board
of Revenue to borrow the sum of $500
for said purpose.
Mr.. Murphy's bid being more than
double the amount Of the money avail
able for said purpose, it could not be
considered at all.
Mr.. Rand's bid of $1700 was on
specifications entirely different from
the advertisement of the Board. and
could not be lawfully entertained, as
any party might object to the payment
Of his bill on the grounds that they
could have built the road for the same
amount or less On the specifications
submitted by Mr.. Rand.
Again, the law states that the Board
Of County Commissioners shall not let
any contract. the completion of which
shall extend beyond their term of Office,
and as Mr.. Rand could no in all proba.
bility complete the work before the first
day Of January. 1911, it was impossible
to enter into any such contract with
him.
The Board regrets any delay in build.
ing this road. and will entertain the
subject again at al early a date as is
deemed advisable.
The Board canvassed the vote of Eu.
reka and Lander Counties on the cleo.
ton of Peter Breen, Judge of the Third
Judicial District Court, with the follow
ing results: Eureka County, 2S5;
Lander County, 500. making a total
vote in said counties of S24, aud the
said Peter Breen having received Q
majority of all the votes cast at the
general election in said counties, was
declared to be the duly elected Judge OF
the Third Judicial District of the State
of Nevada, in and for Eureka and Lam
der Counties, for the ensuing term, and
the Clerk was ordered to issue a %certifi-
cate of election to said Peter Breen.

THE HENDERSON BANKING co.
Statements to State Banking Board Show
Ii To Be a Strong Institution

bdEklnk D0ATQ 0noW
II To Be a Strong Institution
We publish to-day two statements Of
the Henderson Banking Company.
First. the one at the close of business
on Sept. 1. 1910. Second, the one al
the close Of business November 10, 1910.
A comparison Of these statements
will prove Of interest to the readers Of
the SENTINEL. and a close scrutiny Of
the one under date Of November 10 will
reveal a remarkably strong condition Of
one OF the most reputable banking in
situations in the State. This last state
ment was made under the recent call
OF the State Banking Board. and we
think that the Henderson Banking
Company car be justly proud of the
showing made therin.
IL will be seen that this bank has a
sufficient amount Of cash Immediately
available as leash on hand" and due
to banks and bankers" to more tina u
pay every dollar of their individual
deposits subject to check" 1t will also
be seen that while the State law re-
quires banks to have a cash reserve of
only fifteen per cent of their deposits,
they at the present time have sixty
three per cent Of their entire deposits
General. Savings and Certificates-and
over one hundred per cent of their
General deposits.
The Henderson Banking Company
commenced business in the town of
Eiko August 2, 1880, under the name of
]. Henderson. In 1889, the company
was incorporated under the present
name. From the beginning. this bank
has been in the entire possession and
control Of the Henderson family. Its
history has been very closely connected
with the development OF the
of eastern Nevada. and it stands to-day
as one Of the strongest aud most CON
sentative institutions on the Pacific
Coast.
1t should be a matter of pride for the
people Of any locality to be able to
boast of an institution of this character,
where its officers and directors do not
allow themselves TO become ~sntangled
in questionable investments aud enter
prises, but adhere closely to a legiti-
mate banking business. The people Of
that community may well feel secure
in intrustiDg their business to such a
bank. and it should be a matter Of
pride and pleasure for them to en-
courage an institution of this kind.
The SENTINEL thinks that the Hem
derson Banking Company is entitled to
a great deal of credit for it's magnif-
cent showing. and under its efficient
management it predicts for it a con-
tinuance OF business successes and well
earned prosperity.

CONDITIONS At EUREKA
Judge Breen at Austin Talks of
Our Politics, Bank and Rail-
road Reconstruction

Austin Reveille. Nov. IS: From Judge
Breen. who arrived in Austin Tuesday
last. we obtained the following concern
ing our stricken sister town Of Eureka.
In answer to questions the Judge
said: 1.-THE town CT Eureka and i'm
mediate neighborhood lie still dull. The
great mining properties are not being
worked, and the vast majority Of our
miners have gone to seek employment
elsewhere {; hence the stagnation in
business over our way.
Reconstruction of Railroad
mot a pick has been stuck in the
ground so far in the way Of reconstruc.
ton Of our narrow gauge from Palisade.
The D. o. Mills estate, it appears. FORE
closed q heavy mortgage against the
road recently. and q sale of the mort
gagged property is being advertised. 1t
Is confidently stated by some that when
the title passes after the sale, into other
hands, the road win at once be put in
working order once more. At any rate,
until we have railroad facilities from
some quarter the mines can not be
worked at q profit, and therefore will
remain as they are at present.
The Eureka County Bank
Eyes, IN Monday morning. just be.
fore leaving for Austin, on petition Of
Receiver Reynolds. / declared one more
dividend Of 25 cents on the dollar to de-
positors, amounting to $50. 1885. This
last sum will make q total Of $160, 282. 90
within seven months from the collapse
Of the bank. Not so bad, is it. for such
tyros in the business IS the receiver and
his clerk and attorney-for there is no
credit due to others.
The distribution of so large q sum
will be q boon to many, said the scribe.
To which the Judge replied "Yes in
deed. Coming on the Winter months
it will enable many a poor family to OBJ
tain fuel. clothing and food. which will
help to tide over the spell of dullness
until the dawn comes with the recon-
structed road and r~eworking Of the
Mines"
Politics
Judge Breen said the voters in Eu-
reka badly smashed party lines on the
9Th Of November. There was not Q
straight ticket in the entire county.
The people are now voting for the best
qualified men for the Office sought, and
not for the man who has nothing but
party fealty to recommend him.

HYDE CANNOT GIVE BAIL
Man Accused of Murder of Colonel
SWOpe Must Remain fu Jail Until
Appeal Motion Is Decided.

Kansas City, May 17.-If DR.. B. Clark
Hyde's attorneys carry his case to the
supreme court, the physician will not
have to go to states prison pending
action by the highest tribunal. He
must remain in jail here, however.
This announcement was made by
Judge Latshaw late today. Earlier he
had said the statute provided an appeal
did not act as a supersedeas. but upon
investigation he found that he was in
error.
Attorneys for the convicted man said
tonight it was possible q motion for a
new trial would be made before Judge
La tShaW tomorrow.
RumorS that DR.. Hyde's attorneys
intend to claim when they present
their motion for a new trial that the
jury that tried the physician was
tempered with, has caused an investi-
cation to be begun by Prosecutor
Conkling.
Tonight it was learned ne had sum-
moned several jurymen to his office
and Intercepted them on conditions
under which they deliberated.

the jurors were kept in touch with
many features OF the case not included

held q conference with John L. Her
get, chairman Of the police committee

Jack Griffin, the prize fight promoter,
who holds the July permit for con-
test in this city. The result has been
the reopening of negotiations to hold
the fight here instead of across the

its original status, for probably the

Richard more than two months ago,
when II became known that the fight
was to be held in California, was CT
fered by Griffin, who desired to barter
his July permit

lively have agreed to accept Griffin

and county ordinance now in effect

WET BY LARGE MAJORITY
Anti-salOOR Element in Denver De-
feated-Mixed Results as to Can
didates on Tickets.

Denver, May 1.-THE anti-saloon ele-
ment was beaten in the election today
by a majority of from 5000 to 10000.
The extension of the franchise of the
Denver Union Water company, and
which was to run for twenty years, was
deciSfvely beaten. 1t is claimed by the
chairman of the Citizens party, which
placed q ticket in the field against the
Republicans and Democrats, that they
nave elected at least one of their can
didates for the election commission;
three of the four supervisors, and nine
of the fifteen aldermen. Mayor Speer
admits that the Citizens poll is surpris-
ing, but counts upon the returns from
the 10000 or more scratched ballots to
carry the Democrats to victory. It is
estimated that $4,000 of 5000 regis
tered electors voted. The count will not
be completed until tomorrow.
