CITIZENS OF SOUTHERN NEVADA
TOWN GIVE MORE THAN ROY
AL WELCOME TO REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR.

A special dispatch to the Reno
Gazette, dated at Nina, September
10, says: Never in the history of
this town has such enthusiasm
been shown as was displayed last
night when Senator T. L. Oddie's
famous sawed-off automobile drove
up through the main streets of this
place. Men, women and children
crowded around tc shake the hand
of southern Nevada's favorite son.
and 1t was with diffculty that the Re-
publican candidate for governor
made his way through the dense
crowd that blocked his path.
News of his coming had proceeded
him, and finally when the cloud OF
dust was seen In the distance the cry
arose, Here he comes; here comes
Nevada's favorite son." There was
q general rush for the street. and
then began a regular football scrim-
mage with everyone trying to shake
the hand Of the man who is the best
loved man who ever set foot In
southern Nevada.
A few days previously there had
been sneering paragraph In
Sprague's Goldfield paper, in which
there was the insinuation that be-
cause T. L. Oddie is today a poor
man somebody must be paying for
the gasoline.
The people of Nina took up this
sneer, and by popular subscription
raised money and presented to Mr..
Oddie six cases of motor juce." The
only difficullty that the committee
had was in keeping the subscription
down. as dozens of men offered to
buy the whole supply themselves,
out this was not allowed. Practical
ly every man in Nina, regardless of
politics, aided In the subscription. In
presenting the gasoline the spokes-
man of the committe said:
I'VE amt so long on speechmak-
ing, but just count on us for election
day. incidentally we saw where the
Democrats were trying to make 1t ap-
pear that the corporations are furn-
fishing your gasoline. We Just want
to go on record to the e..ect that you
need NO. look TO anybody but the
men of southern Nevada IL you want
anything, and they'll see you through
Wherever you are, IL you want any
thing, just drop wire to Nina, and
we'll see that you're taken care of"
This speech was received with ap-
plause. Senator Oddie was visibly
affected by the loyalty of his friends
and Ii was with difficulty that he pro-
ceeded with his brief address. He
did not attempt to make a long
speech. but urged his hearers to sup
port the Republican ticket from top
to bottom, and to aid in kicking out
the rotten administration with
which the state had been burdened
for long time.
When he concluded there were
cheers, and the cry Make it unan-
animous for Oddie.' was taken
up all over town.
This is the cry that is gaining in
volume every day, and by the time
election day rolls around il will
come very close to being ''unani-
nous for Oddie," especially down
here in the southern part of the state

New Equipment Arrives.

The famous Niles Crane that has
been expected by the Nevada North
ern railway workmen in the round
house In the operating department is
now on the tracks near the shops.
The entire machinery required two
fiat cars to convey them from the
New York shops of the Niles Manu-
featuring company.
The great crane Is to be operated
by threee different electric motors
and 1t will run the entire length of
the round house. covering overhead,
all the tools and engines In the shop.
The lifting capacity of the crane Is
ten tons. The span Is fifty feet and
the Ely Electric Power & Light COM
pany will furnish the power to drive
II. The entire mechanism will be
under the complete control Of one
man.
The crane will add greatly to the
facilities OF handling the different
operations necessary In repairs rs
we'll as In new work. The work on
the engines will be handled much
more easily than in the old way
where the locomotive repairs had to
be aided by the use of the chain box
and gin poles.
The entire seructure OF the crane
Is of steel, and it will probably take
about ten days to get the crane into
the rounahouse and have 1t in shape
for performing the tasks required
of IL.
