MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day was properly Oh
served in Elko,. The exercises by
the Odd Fellows were carried out
according to the published pro-
gram. The address by Attorney
McCabe dealt principally with the
heroism and chivalry of the Ameri-
can soldier and abounded in pleasant
"reminiscences of the civil war. He
held the close attention of the aud
fence through out his entire address.
The singing by the male quar-
tette was excellent and added much
to the success of the program.
Past Grand Master Edgar Rein
hart paid beautiful tribute to the
memories of Bro. and Sister Bruce,
who died within few days of each
other in January and February of
this year and now sleep in one grave
on the hillside.
After the exercises, the people
proceeded to l. o. o. F. cemetery
where the graves were strewn with
beautiful flowers.
The exercises were success
throughout and compared favorably
with any ever held in Elko.

In a western state workmen began
to dig a post hole for an electric
light in front of aDutchman's dwell
ing, when the master forbid them
to continue. After some discussion

covered the hole. "Now Gretchen,
he said. "dat ish vher you shtands

The solid frau stood there like a
statue, her hands on her hips.
When the husband disappeared, the
leader of the workmen ordered the
slate, with the frau on it, to be
removed. With perfect politness
the lady was set on one side as if
she had been fat teapot on a
salver. The Dutch wife stood like
Casabianca, but the hole was well
in its place when the householder
returned with the injunction. He
was overcome with establishment
and wrath. "Vy vas you not stood

JULIA HARD HOWE

Yesterday was the ninety-first
birthday of Julia Ward Howe,
who all in all has been and is one
of the most marvellous women of
her age.
She has outlived all the friends
of her childhood. Her chiefest
comfort must be in recalling in
Thought the faces and forms that
have passed away, and the voices
that for all save memory long ago
were hushed. Yet she is still at
work. Only last week a letter
came fri her filled with questions
which she wanted answered, ar-
pa1 Emily as alert, in what she
believes is a worthy cause, as she
was half century ago. Long ago
fhe belonged to that marvellous
jcircle in Boston-Emerson, Haw-
thorne, Thoreau, Charming, Holmes,
ILongfellow, Willis, Margaret Fuller
and the others, a galaxy like which
there has been no other since there
lived that shining group of whom
Shakespeare was the center. Mrs.
HOwe's life has been filled with
noble work; she has held life but a
trust to be accounted for, and it
ought to be with unblanched face
that she will go to make her &C.
counting. Her Battle Hymn of the
Republic stirred this nation as
kieeply as the French were stirred
when the "Maseillaise" was first
sung. Had there been a prophet
IN the Confederacy he would, when
he heard that anthem have called
upon his countrymen to disband and
Egolhome, explaining that the words
Pf a hymn had begun to vibrate on
fhe northern air which would, if
heed be, call armies from the ground
and before which their own armies
you'd away. She is in the shadows
how. The glory of person and face
(which as hers in youth have passed
away, but with all her wonderful
Intellectual faculties remaining,
sher voice for justice and mercy and
truth rings out as vibrant and
clear as ever. May she be long

NEVADRS FIRST HOUSE

Unless immediate steps are taken
the old log cabin, the first house
built in Nevada and still standing
at Genoa, will be torn down and
chopped up for firewood. This
would remove forever one of the
most priced relics of pioneer days
that stands within the borders of
Nevada. 1t was in this building
that the first pubic meeting held in
the state took place. That was in
1851. The object of that meeting
was to organize SCATTER govern
ment and to adopt local rules for
governing the settlers and their
property. This meeting agreed
upon petition to the national con-
gress for territorial government.
Five days later a local form of
government was adopted.
An attempt was then made to
get representative at Washington
to represent the territorial govern
ment and James w. Crane was
elected as delegate. Crane, having
died, John j. Musser was elected
as his successor on November IL,
1859.
On June 6, 1859, a mass meeting
of delegates from the several dis
tricts was held at the old cabin, at
which meeting the 14th of July of
the same year was the date set for
the holding of an election for the
purpose of electing delegates to a
constitutional convention.
The delegates SO elected met at
Genoa on the 18th of July and in
ten days session adopted de-
claration of rights and con-
stitution. The constitution was
submitted to the people and adopted
in September, 1859, and Isaac Roop
was elected governor, along with
the other state officers.
The legislature met at the log
house December, 1859, and adj
journed to meet in July of the fol-
lowing year.
Thus it seems that the early
history of Nevada is closely con-
nected with the historic old build
ing and it will be nothing short of
burning shame if the people of
the state let a few dollars stand in
the way of preserving this building.
1t is to Nevada what Suffers Fort
is to California and we should prize
its historic value with as much
pride as do the Californians their
oIdsbuildinp. ,..:s
Four years ago Senator Mack
introdced bill in the legislature
for the purchase by the state of the
log house and worked hard for it's
passage. The measure was defeated
by some pinheaded member of the
legislature who could see no value
in preserving this old building.
The only way left to save it from
being RACED is by popular subscrip-
tion through the medium of the
Nevada Historical Society.-Gar-
dnerville Record-Courier.

The PRISON JOB

composed OF Governor DlckcrSon,
Secretary of State Douglas and
Acknowledgement Stoddard. net in
Carson and awarded the contract
for the cells of the new prison. By
the votes of Douglas and Stoddard,
the contract was awarded to the
Nevada Engineering works at Reno
for S19l, 800, when the Mesker
company of st. Louis bid $119, 900.
The award has caused considerable
unfavorable comment on account
of the accepted bid being nearly
$500 higher than the Mesker
company's bid.
Sundays Carson News has the
following regarding the award:
The main topic of conversation
in this city yesterday was that of
the giving of the contract for the
steel cells at the new prison as
made public by the News yesterday
morning.
Neither Douglas nor Stoddard of
the board were in town yesterday
and as consequence their stories
were not secured. Governor Dick
erson apparently did not desire to
discuss the matter, as he thought it
was more than probable that the
matter would be taken into the
courts.
State Engineer Boyle was in
terviewed in regard to the matter
and stated that he was considerably
surprised in the manner in which
the matter turned out. He had
thoroughly studied the plans that
were submitted to the various
bidders and these bids were made
upon the basis of 1852 cells. The
advertisement for bids called for
300 cells, but letters were sent out
to each bidder notifying him of the
change in the plans and this was sat
isfactory to all. After the bids had
been submitted the board decided
they would select the single steel
walls instead Of the double walls
with asbestus lining andsas a con-
sequence the bids were all amended.
The Stewart company bid $191, 900;
Van Dorm, S195, $50; Nevada Engin-
eering company, $4,000 and the
Mesker company, $106, 845. Later
on another change was made in
the plans reducing the number of
cells from 352 to 296 and what the
bids Of the respective firms on this
reduction he did not know. The
board claimed, so twas understood
by the state engineer, that the
Mesker company's bid not comply
with the locking. device according
to the plans. but Mr.. Boyle be-
lieved that they did and recon-
mended that the Mesker bid be &C.
copied. The Mesker company stood
ready to file bond to do. the work
and to do it under the supervision
of the states engineer. AS a con-
sequence the board would have the
power to enforce the carrying out
of the contract as they desired it.
The Mesker company is a re-
putable firm and has done con-
siderable work in this state. At
torney R. S. Miner has been engaged
to look into the matter and is now
studying up the affair and it is

In connection with the trips made by

TO the sheriff as excessive.
This office has nothing to do with
hiring automobiles for the grand Jury
said Mr.. Kearns. 1T Is not really an
Item properly chargeable against this

ply turns in the bills as they are given

shortly before last midnight and was
not under control until some three hours
later.
The warehouse, on Jay street, Is in

commission houses, storage houses and
shops. which contained millions upon
millions of dollars Of infammable ma
terial. and the flremen worked hard to
confne the flames to the building In
which they started.
The loss was about 1000 to which
may be added q considerable loss to
dealers in p~erishable fruits and vegeta-
bles, arising from the fact that the
commission merchants doing business
near the scene of the fire could not
reach their places Of business inside the
fire lines in many instances for several
hours.
