MUST ADVERTISE
ELKO COUNTY
Only Way to Secure Settlers of Desirable
Character
Campaign of Publicity which Contemplates a
Semi-Monthly Record of Development
and Progress by the Daily
Independent

The City of Elko and all the
towns in Elko county should concur
in advertising Elko county. 1t
is the only way to secure much
needed capital. and the kind of
population which is desirable.
Very little really effective and
systematic publicity has ever been
undertaken in this direction. A
few bulky special editions of some
local paper have been issued from
time to time but their effort has
always been lost in extreme diff
usiveness and verbosily. What is
needed to be really effective and
bring the desired results, is a re-
cord of improvement and progress.
This can be shown best by articles
published in local county papers
from week to week. and assembled
together every two or three weeks
and sent out to those about Elko
county. Six Issues of such a paper
sent at these intervals to prospec-
tive purchasers of land would
either land them or some of their
friends who would be shown the
paper, orEit would determine the
imp0ssihility of doing so, when
these could he dropped from the
mailing list and other prospects

When the average man is casting
about for change Of location and
is handed special edition of some
newspaper. if he is given to rcfiec-
tion at all, he will know that
everything in such paper was
written for purpose and that
purpose was to secure his removal
to some of the places boosted. -
The result usually is that the
reader takes what he sees with
many grains of salt and the effec-
tivencs is lost. On the other hand
if.it record of development, taken
from a reliable paper, could be
placed in the hands of prospective
settlers, the effect would be the
best possible. The man who weighs

Mr.. ]. B. Logan of this city is
Texan, and confederate soldier
claiming no relation with the dis
tinguished statesman and warrior
John A Logan.
MIR. Logan would not leave the
beautiful hills and valleys of Eiko
county and go back to dear old
Texas. He likes the rugged
honesty. the hospitality and
liberality of these people; Texans
are most all good people too, but it
just happened that the stingiest

would not waste match to tell

where is there either town or

success and results than Elko?

PINE BLUFF BOY
 GETS A PR0FESS0RSHIP
JULIAN WATERMAN, GRADUATE OF HIGH SCHOOL, GIVEN CHAIR IN
 MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY.
Is Recommended For Vacancy in De- partment of American History
 By Its Head.

McGehee, Ark, Aug. 12.-A distinc- ton in which Desha county's citizens doubtless feel great interest has come to one of her young men, and we take pleasure in giving the incl dent publicity. Julian Waterman, youngest son of MT. and Mrs. Gus
 Waterman, of Dumas, recently grad uated from Tulane University at New Orleans; in passing it may not be amiss to state that the scholarship at this University was accorded to him in return for honors he attained at the Fine Bluff High School where he formerly was student.
 While spending the vacation with his parents at Dumas this summer Dr. Phillips, now the head of the depart ment of American History at the Uni- versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor, who formerly was a member of the Tulane Faculty, voluntarily presented the name of Julian Waterman to the president and faculty of the Michi- gan University for appointment to the vacancy existing as assistant in his department.
 The president and faculty approved the recommendation of Dr. Phillips, and Mir. Waterman accepted the ap- pointment. Therefore, during the coming session 1912-13 Arkansas will be represented on the teaching force of that famous institution of learning by one of her native sons in the per- son of Mir. Waterman. We take it that this incident is a recognition of Julian's merit as student, both in the Pine Bluff schools and at Tulane, and comes we'll deserved; and one of the highest encomiums that could be given to any young man. The many friends of this family, as well as of the young man himself. congratulate him and them upon his distinction at tained worthily and unsought, while he is just attaining his majority in years.
