The Poultry Show.

If the poultry show being held II
Mineral Point this week is not a sue
cess the blame will not rest on the Off
cials of the association or because the
quantity and quality of the birds en-
tered are not up to the usual standard.
Over five hundred birds are on exhibit
tion and old poultry fanciers say that
they never have seen better collec-
ton of meritorious fowls.
Another feature for due consdera-
ton is the fact that it is not entirely
ar exhibition of local birds, as entries
have been made by fanciers of Dodge
vile, Jonesdale, Brodhead, GAINESVILLE,
Milwaukee, Dubuque and points as far
away as Ashland, Wis.
The numerous classes of pure hreds
are practically all represented and the
good natured competition between the
various breeders gives an added zest to
the show. The judging commenced
Wednesday morning with James A.
Tucker cf Michigan, a world-renowned
judge, in command.
The closing day of the show, so far
as everything being in order goes, will
be Friday, as Saturday is breaking up
day Therefore we wish to say to
those who have not already attended,
that they are missing an opportunity
to see the finest display of birds ever
given in this section if they fail to at
tend before the doors close Friday
night. Single admission only 10 cents.

\ INCREASES WAGES

From = reliable source it has
been learned that the differences
heretofore existing between the
Western Pacific Railway company
and the employes,,in the matter of
q wage schedule, have been settled
in San Francisco xgreeably, to both
parties to the controversy. In
fact, the adjustment was q great
victory to the enginemen and
trainmen who made She demands
to tn, company for higher wages.
Since the early Tart of April the
officials of the company and com
mittees of the employesahave been
in conference and the settlement
effected the past few days is the
outcome Of the meetings. thereby
averting a generalSstrike on this
road. ~
AS yet there has been no official
notification of the agreement, hut
from private information. 1t .lhas
been given out that a 80 per cent
raise has been granted to the
enginemen and trainmen over the
recent schedule.
This morning a representative
of this paper interviewed number
OF the employees of the Western
Pacific and all are we'll pleased
with the settlement and the liberal
increase in their wage schedule.
Although the officers of the
railway company at this place have
as yet received no notification of
the agreement, enough informa.
ton as been received to satisfy
them that settlement had been
effected on the so per cent basis
and that all other differences had
beee agre eably settled.
Ever since the Western Pacific
Railway opened for trs fic II e
enginemen and train men have been
working for less wages than are
paid on. other western railways,
and together with the many lay.
offs necessitated inIthe opening of a
new railroad, the employees have
had an uphill struggle to make
living wages. However under the
the new schedule just agreed upon
in San Francisco. these obstacles
have been overcome and now the
employees Of the Western Pacific
railway will receive as high wages
as are paid on any other railway
system in the United States

Grand JURY REPORT

To the Judge Of the Fourth Ju-
dicial District in and for the Coun-
ty Of Elko, State Of Nevada:
We your Grand Jury. beg leave
to submit the following rep, TT:
We have had brought for our
consideration the following cases:
Z Three cases for arson, two Tor
grand larceny. one for burglary,
one for assault with intent to kill.
two for obtaining money under
false pretenses, three for attempt
to commit grand larceny, one for
perjury, in all Of ~hich cases we
fund true bills. 20. Ply
We ignored one case for
murder. and one for forgery.
As the commissioners, in CON-
pliance with recent law of the
legislature, appointed m expert &C.
countant 20 audit the books Of the
various county officers, your grand
jury did not make the usual exami-
nation. .-s- ..r. ,.r. IL
We compliment the people of
Elko GU nty in securing an up-to.
date county courthouse. and we
heartily commend our board of
county commissioners for their
fidelity to duty, their unusual
business acumen, and their re-
markable success in securing such
a magnificent building with the
sum of money at their disposal. In
part. this success is due to their
securing the services of r. E.
Rockwell as superintendent, who
made it his duty to see that the
material furnished and the work.
manship strictly complied with the
spe sifications.
We find the rooms apportioned
to the sheriff's Office small and
inadequate and we recommend
that the room in the courthouse
MT already assigned to any county
off sial be given to thu sheriff for
his main Office.
We advise the commissioners to
purchase flag for the courthouse
of sach texture and size suitable
for the building.
We suggest to the county corn
missioners, acting with the people
u tie town Of Elko to Sc time
to dedicate the courthouse with
proper ceremonies and make such
time a day of celebration to give
the people Of the county an OPP
portunity Of inspecting the build

Owing to clerical error in the
