A Splendid Home

The editor had the pleasure of
looking through the new resi-
dence of w. B. Ray at Monterey,
last Monday. The house is built
of brick, two full stories and
basement, containing ten rooms.
The first floor is finished in quar-
ter-sawed oak, and three rooms
and hall can be turned into one
by means of folding doors. The
building has double floors, water
connections, bath room on each
floor, and is heated with hot
water. There is not a better
built house in Putnam county,
and Mr.. Ray and family may
we'll fell proud of their splendid
new home.

Mt. View Lodge No. 179 1. o. O. F.
held good meeting on the 9th inst.
After having gone through with an
open door celebration of the 93p ami
versary, which without any prepared
program was conducted by V. E. Book
man as Master of ceremonies and as
for uniqueness in speeches disappoint-
ment of expectations of being bored
etc. the evening was apparently pleas
antly whiled away. There was good
attendance of Rebekahs none of them
engaging in speech making, but they
seemed to be amused at the awkward
ness of the brothers trying to enter
tain the crowd with impromptu and
incoherent speeches, if the term is per-
missible.
After the gathering was dismis ed the
lodge was properly opened and the u.s.
ual routine business was disposed of.
The sick and ailing brothers were re-
ported to be about as last week.
The usual orders for benefits were
made.
One petition for imitation was read
and reported to comittee of investiga-
tion.
Some communications were read and
proper action taken thereon.
The memorial exercises will be held
in the lodge hall on the last Sunday in
May and the decoration of the graves
of dead brothers will be carried out by
special committees for each grave yard
on the 1st Sunday in June.

AS to ways and means, the sub-com-
mittee deemed it advisable to work out
a table covering a possible bond issue
on such lines as would be easily I'M
derstood and would be dependable, and
have them printed so each person
could have one for reference, and has
done so. In working this out how
ever, the writer has been over cauti-
GUS in one respect. He has figured
interest on the bond issue at per
cent. Since it was handed to the
printer he has received letter from
Mr.. Laird of the committee whirh says
that a member Of a large bonding
house assured him that the bonds of
Latah county could be sold bearing
an interest rate of AZ per cent, instead
of per cent. This being the case it
Will be necessary to reduce each item
of interest payment as shown in the
accompanying table by 10 per cent
and the total of the interest payments
by 10 per cent also, and make a cor
responding change in adding the to-
tails. With this change the tables will
stand.
Finally the committee beg leave to
state that all expense incurred by
them has been provided for by mem
bers of our committee, and they have
nothing to report to this meeting.

same with the first building by upper
and lower passageways. The main
argument in favor of this plan is that
it is expedient, that it can be Carried,
and will give US the immediate pro-
lection needed for prisoners and rec
oTds The argument offered against
this plan are those suggested above,
that it is wasteful. That the second
bond issue contemplated will have to
be from, say $4,000 to $4,000 greater in
order to make up this waste. And al
SO that in case bonds are voted, not a
tax levy, it will be impossible for the
county to vote this second bond issue
las long as the first one is unpaid, thus
making it impossible for the county to
| get new building for a period of ten
or twenty years in the future, depend
| ing on the date of payment of the first
series of bonds as explained hereafter;
and making it impossible for the coun-
| ty to get out from under the bonded
Indebtedness necessary for a period
of ten or twenty years longer time
under the second plan proposed than
under the first, as explained hereafter.
Should the people see fit to adopt
the second plan proposed, and build
a building for the sheriffs office, Jail
and heating plant, and try and fix up
the old building for temporary use, the
committee would deem it unwise to try
and fix up the old building in any way
that would not make it available for
at least ten years, as we can see no
way to get funds for further altera-
lions before that time. AS an indica-
ton of what we deem to be necessary
to make the building available for that
time we would recommend the follow
ing as the least that would possibly
answer the purpose:
1st Furnish the assessor with a
vault, without increasing the size of
his office.
Cd. Furnish the probate judge with !
a vault at least 10 it. by IL #, without /,
furnishing him the additional room |
needed.
Sd. Furnish the auditors and re-
corder's offices with fire proof vaults
of at least twice the capacity Of the
present vault in the auditors office,
which we do not deem fire proof, and
furnish room on the ground floor
for a recording room in connection
with the vaults.
18th. Furnish the clerk of court with
a room on the ground floor and vault
in connection for protecting his rec
ofds and files. Let him use the public
stairs.
9Th. Make provision for ground
floor for the treasurer with a vault
in case that office has to
collect the taxes, as now seems GER
tain. The sheriff's office would be
available for one of these offices.

now working in the lead mines of

Seattle, Mexico and Spain would

greater saving in the value of the
old material from the present court

building a Jail and sheriff's office,
than could be used later in new

the second plan. What the aggre-
gate of these several savings would be

it would be several thousand dollars

plan are: The people have just got

question be submitted and fail to car

representative. He gives a clear re-
cord of his vote on every question in
the house of representatives and his
record plainly shows that he has al
ways worked for the best interests of
the state and its people.
Congressman Roberts has work
ed hard during his term in congress
and the people wherever he goes as
sure him that he will be reelected
and given an opportunity to continue
the good work. He has been a tire
less worker and not once during his
term has he lost an opportunity to do
something for Nevada.
He has had new post offices es-
tablished all over the state and has
in this way provided the people with
a mail service that they would not
otherwise have.
The two candidates yesterday
visited East Ely and MeGill and met
the citizens of these two cities, ae-
companied and introduced by George
Peacocke. They were given a hearty
welcome and were given to under
stand that they will be supported in
the coming election.
The meeting last night was large
ly attended and was enthusiastic
from beginning to end. 1t was the
largest and most successful political
meeting held in this county this
campaign. Neither Senator Massey
or Congressman Roberts need have
any fear of the outcome of the pres
ent campaign.
At the conclusion of Senator Mas
sey's speech, James H. Lockhart,
candidate for justice of the supreme
court, was introduced. Mr.. Lock
hart expressed his pleasure at seeing
so many ladies in the audience, and
predicted that the time was not far
distant when they would take a
prominent part in politics. He paid
a high tribute to Senator Massey as
representing the high class of cit
izenship for which Nevada has al
ways been noted, a citizenship gath
cred from the best of chiyalry, gal
lantry and wisdom from all parts of
the country. In conclusion he stated
that If the electorate goes to the
polls on the fifth of November and
votes according to the dictates of its
conscience, the country will be safe.
Senator Massey and Congressman
Roberts depart today for Cherry
Creek and Weels by automobile.
They will speak in the latter place
