The first regular passenger train
from lthe east over the Western
Pacific arrived this morning at
1850, town time. It consisted of
a baggage car, smoker, chair car,
tourist car, the diner, Nevada. A
Pullman. Algiers, and a combination
observation car, the Marysville.
The baggage car, the smoker and
the chair car were steel cars.
There were quite a number of
passengers. 1t looked good to see
arival'of the Southern Pacific do
ing business in Elko.
The democrats of Elko should
vote for Frank r. Nicholas at the
primary election. He is q clean,
dignifed, able man and is making
a clean campaign. AS governor Of
the state he would uphold the
dignity and honor. of its people.
Vote for. Frank r. Nicholas at the
primary election and he will be our
next governor.
The complimentary business"
Of giving franks and half-rate
certification by the Postal and
Western Telegraph Companies has
been discontinued since such
corporations have been made COM
mon carriers under the new rail-
road law. 1t is about time that
express companies took similar
steps and the Interstate commerce
commission should stir them to
action and reduce the rates of all
these corporations as excessive,
especially the express companies.
The new tariff has evidently had
bad effect on the cotton and
wooden mills and yet they are pro-
tected up to the highest notch.
High prices and poor business
generally follow each other.
With Teddy giving out his "key-
note" and the pre-, ident sounding
his slogan on September 3Oth, the
air will be charged with politics;
and just fancy what the divided
republicans will do If the double
keynotes should be out of tune.
There should be big vote cast
at the primary election. 1t is the
duty Of every citizen to cast his
vote for the men he wants to hold
the Offices for the ensuing two
years in the county and four years
in the state. You have a direct
voice in the choice of candidates
and should exercise it at the
primary election.

CENSUS RETURNS. WI[E ).
III SHOW GREAT GaOW1H

|. ;" :, ~: -
A Washington dispatch of the
21st says:
Columbus annexation is no;
destined to lose any prestige it may
have enjoyed during the last
decade from being marked on the
census maps as the place nearest
the center of pops. latinn. 1t prob
ably will continue in the vicinity
of that mark after the full de.
velopments of the thirteenth census
become known unless the estimates
of the census officials fail.
The returns received to date in.

Only a small percentage Of the
total population has been an.
nouhced thus far but enough is
shown by. the general trend to
justify, some general situations.
Probably the most important OF
these+is that the eastern states are
holding their own to such an ex.
tent that the pull" of the west
will be sufficient to disturb greatly
the present equilibrium.

board. Up to date the FULL popu-
lation of only two states, Rhode
Island and Oklahoma, one east and
the other west, has been
announced.
The increase in Oklahoma.
amounting to 100 per cent over
the POPULATION of the same area in
1900 is phenomenal and is no indi.
cation of the rate of growth either
in the west or the country at
large.
Okl -homa's vast augmentation
is due to its: attainment of state
hood and to the opening of new
and rich territory The same con-
ditions do not exist elsewhere for
even though Arizona and New
Mexico are coming in as new
states. neither presents the attrac.
ton of Oklahoma in the way of
newly available soil.
Many sections of the west how.
ever will'd0 credit to the traditions
of that region. Western Texas fol-
instance will make a marked gain
as will the state of Washington il
both urban and rural districts
Portland, Ore, is sure to make 8
big showing as are Los Angeles
Berkeley and Oakland.
The mining states of the inter.
mountain region probably will
suffer somewhat from the failure t.
duplicate important mining camps
during the decade. Mining has
not fallen off as an industry, but II
is the boom conditions attending
rich discoveries that swell the
census rolls in the mountains. Ne.
vada alone meets these conditions
and several new towns will be
added as result of mining de.
velopment in that state. Colorado
and Utah will show ahealthy growth
and will also the. Dakotas. Texas
will make the best showing among
the southern states but Georgia
will manifest very creditable
growth as will also the two Caro-.

Statistics compiled show that
during the year ending June 30th,
q 100000 immigrants came into
the United States. Nearly one
quarter of them were Italians
and one-eighth Poles. The Jews
numbered $4,000, the Germans
1000, the English $4,000 and the
irish $4,000. The figures show a
falling off of 100000 from 1909.
The problem is not so much the
large number of foreigners coming
in as is their location after
arrival. The new arrivals seek
the over congested cities rather
than the country where there is
generally demand for labor.

LONG RUN OF THE
AMAlCAMATED FACTORIES

The three sugar factories OF tho
Amalgamated Sugar company are still
running full force and the secretary
OF the company states that none Of
them Will cease making sugar before
the first of February.
The ogden factory will continue In
operation until about February 10. but
the factories In the northern part Of
the state, at Lewiston and Logan, may
possibly get through with the Work
by the first OF February.
II is said that this years run is the
greatest the factories have ever made
and. of course. the output Of sugar is
heavier than in previous years. There
are two principal reasons why the
factories have had to run q longer pc
riod this year than heretofore. First,
because the sugar beet crop has been
larger, and, second. because the con
tlnued cold weather OF this winter has
caused trouble In handling the beets.
In some instances. where beets had
been stacked at the factory. they be
came to thoroughly frozen that IL was
necessary to use powder to loosen
then sufficiently from the ground.
