PETER S. MILLER

Peter S. Miller, n of the pro-
minent young business men of Elko
county, tells the republican voters
today that he is a candidate
for member of the assembly. He
wants the endorsement of his party
at the September primary.
Peter Miller is one of the most
popular young men in Elko county.
He made a hopeless contest for
county treasurer two years ago
and made an excellent run. If
there is a republican in Elko
county that deserves we'll of his
party, it is Peter S. Miller. Mr..
Miller has the ability, integrity
and experience necessary to make
the people of Elko county a capa-
bic member of the assembly. If
given the endorsement of his party
in September, he will make his de-
mocratic opponent hustle TO come
out ahead at the November round
up. The only thing we know
against him is that he trains with
the republican party. However,
this will not weigh against him at
the primary. The republicans of
Elko county should give him
their thoughtful consideration.

very interesting address. Owing

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF
THE NEW COURTHOUSE

Today marks an important event
in the history Of Elko county. Its
increase in wealth and population
has been so rapid in the last few
years that a new courthouse for
the preservation Of its records. the
housing of its officers and the
transaction of its business became
an absolute necessity. In addition
to the need Of a new courthouse.
was the need Of a now jail for the
care OF the criminal element. both
male and female, and the humane
treatment Of the insane, while
temporarily confined. awaiting
examination and commitment to
The Nevada State Hospital for
Mental Diseases at Reno, Nevada.
There was such a general demand
for a now courthouse and Jail that
the question Of voting SlCO.O 600
bonds for building and cquipping
a new courthouse and Jail was sub
mitted to the people at the general
election held in November. 1908.
and carried by a vote Of 900 for TO
400 against.
In Tue course Of time. the bonds
were advertised for sale and were
purchased by the Henderson Bank.
ing Company Of Elko at a premium
of $4,000 and the accrued interest
up to the time Of the delivery Of
the bonds, amounting TO $3.50,
This was considered by everybody
as n splendid evidence of the faith
of capital in the future prosperity
Of ElkO county.
The next step in the erection Of
the new buildings was the selection
Of plans. The county commission.
crs visited several jails and court
houses in California and finally
employed w. H.. Weeks. an
architect Of San Francisco. TO draw
plans for both buildings, subject to
their approval. After some delay
the plans Of the new buildings
were adopted and bids woro
advertised for. On November /,
1909, the bids were opcncd and
ScIIman Bros. Reno contractors.
were the lowest bidders. On
December Z, 1909, the county com.
missioncrs entered into a contract
with Scllman Bros, the successful
bidders, TO build the courthousc
and Jail for $40, ii0 90. The cells
for the Jail was awarded to the
Finch Metal Company Of San
Francisco for so, 1900.
The long spell Of cold weather,
beginning in November, 1909. and
extending to late in the spring Of
1910, delayed the beginning If
