Political Announcement
Oddie A Friend of the Workingmen

That the Hon. T. L. Oddie. Republic
can candidate for Governor, has al
been the friend Of labor Is best
demonstrated by a review Of the con-
iitions which existed in the early days
If Tonopah.
shortly before the property had been
.old by the original owners Butler.
Brougher and Oddie. they had granted
bout 1870 leases on the property and
Oddie had been made manager by the
purchasers; a number of serious dis
autes arose bet ween the leasers and the
company and it was only Oddie's firm
determination and deep-seated desire
for q square deal" that saved the
amp from serious trouble and pre-
gented the leasers from losing q large
,art OF their ore. He was always ready
70 lend his aid to anybody deserving OF
ssisiance and always ready to fight for
hose who needed help. He made q de-
mined fight for a high wage scale and
-arried his point. When the Miners
Union officials came to camp, it was
.roposed to make $500 q day the
minimum, this having been the scale
which was being paid in Douglass aud
Their surrounding camps. Oddie
,toutly maintained that 81 90 q day
,hould be the minimum, and after
most vigorous fight on his part the
81 90 scale was adopted, the result be
lug a high class of miners in the camp
good wages and contentment. He hal
always insisted on these conditions
With the thousands Of men he has EN-
oloyed and his efforts and actions il
his direction have justly won for hiu
he friendship of the working mer
throughout the State, aud wherever

The deal whereby the Western Union
Telegraph Company is to take over the
telegraph line of the Nevada Northern
Railroad Company between Ely and
Cobre has, it is said, practically been
completed. This line has been operated
by the Nevada Northern and its rates
have been much higher than the West

rate from Reno and other points of the
State to Ely will now be materially re-

it is stated that it was due to the recon-
mendation of the Nevada railroad COM
mission that the Nevada Northern

than smallpox. 1t is more contagious
than any other plague on the face OF
