WEIGHTMAN IS POPULAR
County Treasurer Gets Largest Ma
jority Over Opponent.

The universal popularity of Matt
Weightman, county treasurer, was
proved at the polls last Tuesday when
a vote. many hundreds larger than
that given any other candidate VINO
had opposition, and only few votes
behind the highest man on the ticket,
was given the treasurer In his race for
reelection. Weightman's majority
over his Democratic opponent was
more than $500 votes, considerably
in excess of the normal Republican
majority and this in the face of the
returns that showed a loss by most
Republican candidates. And this
splendid showing was made practically
without campaign on the part of the
treasurer.
Weightman has been too busy get
ting ready for the annual rush in his
office to make a campaign. The last
of september he was occupied with his
annual settlement, and could not get
out to see anybody. Then he took his
daughter to school in Washington, and
incidentally visited New York and saw
turning he plunged into the work of
his office again, and had no time to
devote to a campaign.
Weightman was elected first two
years ago by a splendid majority, be-
ing second to Bob Tasker, who led
the ticket two years ago. This year
Weightman poIled heavier vote than
any candidate except Judge A. w.
Dana, who had no opposition, and
who had opposition His majority was
500 votes more than any candidate
who had opposition. The showing is
fine tribute to the courtesy and eff
cheney of the treasurer, who has just
finished his first year in ONCE.

have demonstrated that spring oats,

Too many farmers, says the re-
port, are inclined to look to new
and strange crops for easy success.

crops which have been grown the
longest in any locality are usually
best able to understand the unfavor-

EXTEME COLD WEATHER
AFFECTS COPPER OUTPUT

The extremely cold weather has
made it most difficult to the Neva-
da Consolidated to keep up it's usual
tonnage from Copper Flat, but the
Veteran is gradually coming to the
rescue and is now producing about
250 tons daily, which will be largely
increased in the near future. As
soon as the weather again becomes
normal the probabilities are that
there will be an increased tonnage
all along the line. The new Nord-
Derg pump is now in commission at
the smelter, hence there will be no
further difficulties in regard to an
ample water supply. The foundation
is also in for the second basic con-
verter, which will go into commits
sion within few weeks.-Ely Rec.
