THE WINNER FOR
PLACE
BILLY EASTON, OLD TIME Me-
NADIAN, LEAVING OPPONENT
FAR BEHIND IN RACE FOR
LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR

William Easton, Republican candi-
date for lieutenant governor, was
born in the Province of Quebec in
1854, of Scotch %parentage. He spent
his early life in the Province of On
tario working on a farm. At the
age of fourteen. he left home and
from that time on made his own way
through life. He had learned the
blacksmith trade at the age OF II,
and can shoe a horse or set a wagon
tire now.
He came to Austin, Nevada, in
1875 and worked at his trade in the
summer and chopped wood in the
winter. In 1877, he went to work
in the mines. following this occupa-
ton until the people of Lander
county elected him TO the Office of
sheriff and assessor. He held this
Office continuously for four years and
after the two Offices were made sep
arate, was assessor for four years.
During the past four years, he has
served his county as state senator.
As assessor, Mr.. Easton was the
first official to raise the assessment of
the Southern Pacific to $40. 100000
per mile. This was in the year 1891,
when the 29.15 miles of main line
track of the company in Lander
county was assessed at ? 100000 a
mile and the side tracks at $4,000 a
mile. The board of equalization,
rather than risk a lawsuit nullified
the assessors work by reducing the
assessment to 100000 a mile.
In the senate, Mr.. Easton was
chairman of the committee which re-
ported f~avorably on the bill creating
the present Nevada railroad commits
sion. He also stood for the anti
gambling bill and all legislation
calculated to improve the conditions
of labor.
When the railroad rate bill was
pending in congress last winter, Mr..
Easton circulated a petition in sup
port of the enactment of the long and
short haul amendment and wired the
anne at his w expense. TO Nevada's
representatives in both the senate
and house.
In 1899 he purchased the Inter
national hotel in Austin, and has also
engaged in the hardware and farm
machinery business. for a number of
years. In 1883 he married Mrs.
Lucy Stowe and has a family of three
children. one daughter and two sons.
He is the only candidate on either
of the state tickets from that sec
ion of the state, comprising the
counties of Churchill, Lander, Eu-
reka Humboldt and Elko.
For v years he worked in the
mines of Manhattan Silver Mining
company. He was president of the
Austin Miners union when it had
500 members. and was its treasurer.
when il had one of the largest funds
in the state. In the operation of
numerous mining properties for him
self, he has always paid miners the
top scale.

FOR SUPERINTENDENT
OF STATE PRINTING
REPUBLICANS SELECT PRACTI-
CAL PRINTER To TAKE
AFTER FIRST OF JANUARY.

W. W. Booth. Republican eandi-
date for the Office of state printer. is
a son of John Booth. who as editor
and publisher of different papers in
Nevada during a life time. left his
last mark on affairs of the state.
BILLY Booth was early put through
his apprenticeship at the case and
knew how to run a newspaper at an
age in life, when most young men are
still debating what shall be their
calling. He was educated in schools
on the Pacific Coast.
He was connected with the man
agement of the Belmont Courier,
when that camp was the boom camp
of Nye county. He established a
paper in Austin and has been connec-
ted with many papers in all capacities
in a number of Nevada towns He
has always maintained a newspaper
or journalistic style of his own.
You never find him beating about
the bush" i'm the discussion of any
question in the columns of his paper.
His whole journalistic course has
been characterized by two dominant
qualities-fearlessness and gener-
osity.
The work of his life In which he
takes most pride is that connected
with the publication of the Tonopah
Bonanza, a paper he founded when
the riches of eddie Mountain were
first discovered. He believed in the
camp. and throuih his paper. was
one OF the o active means in
bringing the camp to the attention of
the world, a service that has resulted
In one OF the most spectacular min
ing excitements in fifty years, and
brought about the opening of the
mines in southern Nevada and the
enrichment of the state.
He followed a curse all through
the labor %dissentions in the south that
was marked for its fairness and has
a record In his own business of pay
Zig the men employed a higher wage
rate than was called for by the
union scale.
He has mastered the gentle art of
printing in all its branches and in

.ODO|E ALWAYS FOUND
ON THE SIDE OF RIGHT
IN HIM WORKING MAN HAS
FRIEND WHO CAN BE DE-
HIS RIGHTS.

Many men throughout the state are
familiar with the interest that 7. l..
eddie, the Republican candidate for
Governor, has always shown for the
man who is compelled to toll for a
living. A striking example is that
of Senator Shorty" Kendall, now a
senator from Nye county. Kendall
and his partner, Mcmahon, had a
lease on the Mizpah; they struck a
shoot of ore and took out about $50
600 apiece. a dispute arose as to the
ownership of this ore, the company
claiming il under a technicality.
Oddie knew that these men we're
right as he and Jim Butler had made
an agreement with them and when
the company refused 10 allow them
10 receive the money from the smell
tiers, eddie instantly espoused their
cause and sen word to the officers of
the company that he would resign as
their manager and take the case him
self for Kendall and Mcmahon and
fight ii to a finish. The company real
lied thai Oddie, as usual, was stand
ing for a Square Deal" and rather
than lose him as manager, because
they knew he was serving e%veryne's
interest to the best of his ability. they
backed down and told him TO pay
over the money.
In this connection, il might be well
10 add that Oddie did in the early
days Of Tonopah what has lever been
done before in any mining camp on
earth. He used all his own money
and borrowed all he could and IL
amounted to several good sized for
tunes, and loaned it to the leasers in
order hat they might increase their
output. He did not make one cent
by doing this and did not intend to
at the time-he did ii for the pur-
pose Of helping the men who needed
help In the camp; they were all poor
men when they anne here and so was
he.
He saw a chance for Nevada to be
rejuvenated by men who would make
money through their W efforts and
his help, and as a result, Tonopah is
recognized as one Of the most sub
stantial mining camps in the country
today.

mendacious For example,
that eddie favors Asiatics and the
letting down of the bars to Asiatic
hordes to come into this country to
compete with American labor, and
that he drafted and tried TO get
though a bill Ito enslave labor"
Such balderdash is not worthy of
serious attention, and the same may
be said of the Weekly's diatribes con-
corning Senator Nixon. The public
is getting wise to the Dickerson-
Pittman-Sprague system of campaign
ing. At Sparks Mr.. Pittman declared
that Senator Nixon voted and work
ed against an amendment TO the APP
preparation in congress for Anti
Trust prosecutions which eliminated
Labor Unions and their members
from the operations of the law. We

by INCREASED MAJORITY.

Jacob Eggers, the efficient incum-
bent of the Office of state controller,
literally fell into politics. His fall
came close to carrying him TO that
far country from which none re-
turn, but twenty two months on
crutches was the only inconvenience
he suffered from a fall of 400 feet
down a mine shaft over in Elko
county.
While shift boss at one of the
mines at Tuscarora, he was going
down in the cage with Sam Stark.
his partner. and when at the 200-foot
level. the engineer lost control and
the cage dropped, sheer, TO the bottom
of the shaft, which was sos feet deep.
Stark was killed and Eggers had
both ankles broken and suffered
other injuries. He had followed the
mines in Nevada for fifteen years,
but this narrow escape turned his
mind toward other lines of employ
ment. In the fall of 1890, he was
elected assessor of Elko county, a
position he held for sixteen years.
Four eyars ago he was eletced 10 the
Office of state controller. a position
in which he has made a record for eff
icency and attention to duty.
Mr.. Eggers was born in Germany
in January. 1854 but was brought to
America when very young. He was
raised on a farm in Illinois. and had
the usual struggle for an education.

The Independent understands that Sheriff s. A.
Sorenson is being groomed as Independent
didate for sheriff CT Ward county. We understand
that he is even circulating his petition and intends
to run. II this 10 80, Mr.. Sorenson is using very
poor judgment, for the voters have rendered the
verdict at the June primaries and he should abide
by it. E. D. Kelley, the nominee, defeated Soren-
son in what is Ward County some
thing like two to one, better The can
didate who goes before the voters in the primaries
and asks for their support virtually to them:
"Here I am. Accept me, turn down. If
nominated, all well and good. If not, then will
abide by the will of the majority" The candidate
who disregards the will Of the majority deserves no
consideration at the hands Of honest voters The in
sideration at the hands of honest voters. The in
dependent candidate has as good right to ask "a
vors Of the voters any other, providing he has
not been beaten at the primaries Mr. sorenson
should retire gracefully, and hardly believe that
he can do so foolhardy trick as to again subject
himself to another such defeat as he received.

Enterprise. If the parculiar conditions Of 1910 are
considered and rightly understood, and fair COM
parsons are made with neighboring states, North
Dakota shows up finely and will still bear away the
PALM There never was better time to hold land
or make investments in North Dakota farm lands
than today. We like the spirit and good sense OF
the Foster county farmer who purchased farm
here eighteen months ago and when he was asked
II he would take what he gave land he paid good
price, for his farm, replied You can't touch it less
than an advance Of $1,000 per above what
gave for It." And real estate men experience no
difficulty with buyers who come personally to seek
investment. The many evidences of prosperity on
every hand, fine farm houses and barns, splendid
Shipping facilities and growing towns, all convince
even the casual observer that North Dakota Is IN
the front rank as an agricultural state.

THE PROFESSION OF FARMING.

The city who undertakes to become farmer
frequently fails an expert of the Department OF Az
ricuture says, because of inability to grasp the
technical side of farming.
Not so many years ago farming considered an
occupation that almost anybody could carry sue
cessfully You merely had to pow and plant when
the time came do little cultivatng, perhaps, and
then gather in the harvest If Providence was fav-
orable Virgin soil was bountifu and there was
particular need Of science in its management.
All that has changed. The successful farmer OF
today is becoming and more high type OF
business man. He must understand soil conditions
and must plan years ahead in the management Of
his crops so avoid exhaustng the fertility Of
his land Farming is recognized complex
business The city man needn't despair Of attain
ing to farm management some day If he is ready to
work hard But before starting in he would better
look over Bailey's "Cyclopedia Of American Agri
culture" just to see what sort Of proposition he 10
up against.

ROOSEVELT AND THE TARIFF.

Those who anxious to know how Roosevelt
regarded the tariff BILL passed by the last session
of congress- got pretty fair idea of his opinion Of
it at Osawatomie, Kan, when in a speech there he
said that the traditional system of tariff making
gave the special interests dominating influence in
the making He advocates a tariff commission,
which may study the question in careful manner,
and make revsions from time to time. Roosevelt
did not criticize the president for signing such a
BILL but it is certain that he is not at all pleased
with it. Taft, himself, said plainly that the bill
was not perfect one, but the best that could be
secured under the circumstances. AS far as the
tariff commission is concerned, the views Of Taft
and Roosevelt are identical.

For the one who likes good things to eat, what's

We NAV have to depend upon the west or the east
