By F. A. SOFTER.

Pigeons do not need a fancy house;
an old barn or building of any de-
scription can be fitted up to serve
their needs. II the building is to
house % pairs of homers, it should
be seven feet wide by ten feet long,
and II more than one house is to be
built under the same roof, leave an
alley way from three to four feet wide
separating it from the pen by a wire
netting
The front Of the building should be
eight feet high, with six light win
dowS.
Directly above the windows two
holes seven by eight inches should be
placed. through which the pigeons
can come and go. They should be
provided with a slide to be closed
when the weather is very cold. These
can be opened and closed from the
alley-way by pieces of rope and pull
leys.
The fly pen should be as high and
wide as the front of the pen proper
and about IS feet long. II should be
enclosed with wire netting small
enough to keep sparrowS out
Six feet from the ground a SiXinch
wide board should be placed from
front of house to end of run on either
side as an alighting board.
The bathing-pan should be placed
in the fly, and there should be a door
il the front of the fly through which
person can pass in and out. These
doors are simply frame covered
with wire.

built on either side, preferably on the
east and west walls These boxes are

BUSY At PALISADE

News comes from Palisade this
week that another railway con-
struction company has one of its
engineers there inspecting and
taking and inventory of the E. &
P. Conpany's stock of building
material, etc. Mr.. Baxter of the
Wasacth Construction Company,
who made trip over the road last
year and spent in a couple CT day
in Eureka arrived in Palisade last
Sunday and was busy several days
the fore part of the week looking
over. general conditions. This is
all the information that is obtain
able so far, but the fact that the
engineers of two construction
companies going over the PROPOSE
ton of rebuilding the road would
seem to fore shadow that it is the
intention of the road in the very
near future.-Sentinel.

A BRUTAL 1RUSTY

Geo. W. James a convict at the
Prison Farm, showed his mettle
Saturday by assaulting another
convict and beating him badly. 1t
appears that a man by the name
of Barney Clark was stopping
over a wash basin washing his
face when James stepped up be-
hind and hit him over the head
telling him to the floor.
This is the second time that
James has assaulted ii fellow con-
vict and at the present time an
indictment hangs over him in
Ormsby county for assault to
commit murder. Several years
ago he hit convict over the head
with an iron poker at the prison
and came within an ace or killing
the man.
James is from Humboldt County
and is serving term of thirteen
years for robbery having been sent
to the prison on the o2nd of
October 1907 He is a drug fiend
and is known as a desperate and
dangerous man.
For years he was held among the
dangerous class but during the
present administration has been
given the run of the prison and
was one Of the first to be made
trusty.
He has been brought in from
the Prison Farm and is now at the
prison where he is held upon a
bread and water diet awaiting the
action of Warden Baker Carson
News.

MANY OBJECTIONS FILED
IN ELECTION CASE

Approximately two thousand
objections have beer filed to bal
lots in the election contest by all
parties concerned. If these
objections are all gone into and
thoroughly examined, it will mean
that the members of the Supreme
Court will have a matter on their
hands which will mean days of
hard work. The Commissioner
appointed by the court has kept a
tab upon all these contested ballots
and upon each has marked it's
number and his distinguishing
mark. They are placed in separate
packages and placed in shape for
the court. The object of the
appointment Of the Commissioner
was to save the court the months
of work necessary to be taken to
examine each and every ballot.
The commissioner goes through the
ballots with the contesting parties
and only those ballots which are
believed to bear marks which
would cause them to he contested
are held out. The commissioner
is now going through the ballots
of Esmeralda county and has ex.
amined about half of the number.
1t is impossible to say and in fact
no one knows, whether or not there
has been any change made in the
count as announced after the
election. This cannot be told
until the Supreme Court has ex-
amined and ruled up,n the con-
tested ballots.-Carson News.

TONS OF CASH FILL DOCK

Fourteen hundred tons of cash
money was tossed ashore the other

Bush docks, Brooklyn, but no

value of all this money would not

The Korean, who is not in the
habit of buying luxuries, seldom
carries anything larger than
"cash," a coin about the size of an
American cent. A thousand leash"

SENATOR CORES LECTURE

There was u splendid audience at
the opera house Tuesday night to
listen to Senator Gore of Okla
homa. Stanley Davis president
of the high school literary society
presided and introduced the
speaker. Stanley did his part of
the program like an old hand at
the business.
When Senator Gore was led to
the front of the platform, he was
greeted with a hearty round of
applause. He began by compli-
ment Stanley Davis for his intro
ductory remarks and then poured
soft soap over the people of Elko.
He finally got down to business
and for fully an hour and half
ne held the undivided attention of
his audience. Now and then a
flash of wit and humor would
bring hearty laugh. His speech
took decided partisan turn and
left no doubt on the minds of his
hearers that he was a democrat.
He spoke most; kindly of the
progressive republicans and paiG a
splendid tribute to La Toilette. He
criticised the standpatters and
said they were represented by
Aldrich. Cannon and Bro. Smoot.
He paid glowing tribute to
President Taft's peace policy, but
said the president carried out
Roosevelt's policies on a stretcher.
While there were many splendid
sentiments in the address, we are
compelled to say that it was disap-
pointing. A large per cent of
the audienc expected to hear an
address along the l;nes of that of
Governor Folk, but in this they
were sadly disappointed. 1t had
too much of the flavor of a part
lsan speech. This perhaps. &C.
counts for tn" expressions of dis
appointment we hear on every
hand today. But with all this the
address was full of good things
and worthy of the attention it
received.
