THE GET-HAPPY SEASON

The get-happy season is upon US!
because 10, here cometh the
advance agen: of the laughter
ideal walking through the streets
of our city and announcing the
advent of the circus.
OF course, it is unnecessary TO
state that it is the Sells.FIoto
Circus because year after year we
have become used TO seeing this
popular attraction coming to visit
US almost simultaneously with the
arrival of sprinGrime.
This year they promise more
than ever before and it is only fair
to say that so far al least they
never have made their patrons
the victims of misplaced con-
fdeence.
The policy inaugurated by them
last year of cutting the price in
half still prevails and for % cents
it is possible to see the great show
in its entirety. 1t is the first time
in the history Of mighty entertain
ments that such values have been
offered to the amusement loving
public. The Sells.Floto people
state hat they made money at the
cut price last year and that tn ey
will adhere to the innovation. This
news will be gratefully received
by those who have always looked
upon their annual circus outing
as an institution.
The Sells-Floto Circus will arrive
here on Goth day of May. The
parade will be given at 10 o'clock
on the morning of the performance.
Twenty cars have been added TO
the show since it was here this
time last year which of course
means that much more will lie
given for the money than eyre
before. The tent will be capable Of
holding 10000 people so each one
purchasing a ticket i, assured of
being seated comfortably.
Many new and original acts have
been add 20 the regular ones,
which r part and parcel of a
circus. a complete program will
be published in these columns at a
later date.

The 800 YARD LAW

Although the grand jury, COM
posed of representative citizens of
the county, recommended the
ENFORCEMENT Of the 500 yard law
in all the towns of the county. we
do no believe the movement is a
wise ore for Elko. All the resorts
at which the 800 yard law is aimed
were compelled to move without
the 400 yard limit about three
years ago. They moved without
the limit at that time in compliance
with the law. Some of them
moved at a sacrifice. But not
withstanding their loss, they moved
to n section Of the town that at
that time was unoccupied. Some
Of them invested money in houses
and and under the assurance of the
law as it then was that they would
BE- protected in the enjoyment Of
their property.
While wehave no sy mpathy with
these people. we believe it a great
injustice to compel them to move
again and sacrifice their properly.
They are human beings and their
rights are az sacred as the rights
of other people more fortunately
situated.
They are nov in n locality,
away from the residence portion
of the town and should be allowed
to remain there. IL driven from
their present location. they may
scatter through the town and
fiaunt their vice in the faces of
women and children who arc not
now brought in contact with them.
While IL is the duty of all public
officers to do their sworn duty, yet
there are some laws that arc
honored more in the breach than
In their enforcement. We believe
the 800 yard law as IT applies e

BIGGEST REAL ESTATE DEAL

Of great interest to Californians
because il led TO TO the opening Of

was no survey Of land disposed Of

Uncle Sam was getting for the

people thought he was getting
stuck on the deal.
The purchase included all the
country west of the Mississippi

THE WONDERFUL WIRELESS

After July no passenger steamer
carrying fifty or more passengers
to sail as far as two hundred miles,
will be permitted to leave port I'M
less equipped with wireless tele-
graph apparatus. This is a law Of
congress. Most Of the large
steamers on the sea and lakes are
already supplied. Within the past
year the wireless telegraph has
saved nearly S12, 600. 900 and thous-
ands Of lives that were in jeopardy.
1t has been one of the essentials
of passenger steamers and the con-
nected story of what the wireless
has been to disabled ships in the
past two years, would make more
fascinating reading than a fairy
tale. And men are gaining more
and more control over it every
year. and the messages are'being
sent and received ove larger ard
longer distances. And still there
is an instinct which is growing
stronger and stronger in the souls
ofmen that wi relcss t~elegraphy is
as yet, not half developed. 1t may
be a feeling that grows out Of
hope only. but il is a very sweet
one. II may come of the going
belief that this world anG the
next r not so very far apart. and
that a electricity is the very life
of the world and at the same time
the perfect conductor OF the
messages that the wireless filings
into space; who knows that it will
not sometime send a message that
will strike on that other shore and
that an answer may come back
over the soundless waste ara he
recorded in some station here?
1t has a voice which the roar of
angered ocean cannot still: il has
a substance which the hurricane
cannot beat back: il has wings
which defy storm and cold and
heat, and which brings messages
tied to those wings: why should it
not conquer space also? II we but
knew the characters of the alphabet
used On the other side, who knows
but We should be getting these
messages now? "A great and
strong wind rent the mountains
and broke in pieces the rocks and
af ter the wind an earthquake and
after the earthquake fire." but the
Lo I'd was in neither. but "after
the fire a still, small voice"
In our modern world the wireless
defes the wind. the earthquake
and the fire, but when shall we hear
its still, small voice telling US Of
what has been, and what is to be?
Nothing is as wonderful as what
the wireless has already revealed
and it is but ten years since its
manifestation began to be recorded.
What do the years hold in reserve
for men through that source when
human ears become adjusted to
hear human brains interpret its
still small, voice?"
