Commercial Clubs Get Results

The following article from the Carlin
Commonwealth, advocating the organi.
zation of q commercial club, applies
with equal forcs to the situation in Eu-
reka County:
GAS mentioned several times in these
columns, Elko County needs a county
commercial club, an organization that
will not only procure data as to the min
eral, agricultural and other wealth and
possibilities of this greatest of counties.
but make use of it. Everywhere are
resources that need development. We
can secure capital for investment and
double both our population and assessed
valuation by organized effort. 1t must
not be for any one town or valley more
than another. Literature that will do
justice to all sections must be prepared
aud given distribution. Select a live
pair for president and secretary and
empower and instruct them to hold
meetings of the club at every place in
the county where 20 members can be
enrolled. The possibilities for good a
hardly be estimated. Let the good
work be started soon."

pALISAOE correspondence
Expect to Run Construction
Trains to Mineral Station in
Two Weeks

The fine, warm weather of the
past week has aided very materi-
ally in the construction work on
the E. g. p, and good progress is
reported to have been made all
along the line where work is be-
ing prosecuted. The ground
throughout Pine Valley is thawed
out so that all grade work is 60
ing ahead in good shape. :
The line is completed to and
through the J. P. Raine ranch
in Pine Valley, nine miles from
Palisade, and the pile driver is
now driving piles for two pile
bridges at a point a short dis
lance above where the new high
line comes back into the old road
bed. A grading gang at the Hay
Ranch is working out both ways
from that point and will have the
track in shape there by the time
the two bridges above the Raine
ranch are completed.
The recentgood weather is also
causing the contractors to thaw
out a little, and they are reported
as saying that if the present
favorable weather conditions con-
continue, construction trains will
be running to Mineral Station
"a miles from Palisade-in two
weeks.
AT present there are about 80
men and 30 mules at work, and
this force will be increased as
soon as construction trains carry
ing timbers and rails a be run
out to the grading gangs.
1t is expected a new construc-
ton camp will be established at
Alpha about February l, and
when work is started south from
this point the completion of the
line-weather conditions always
permitting-should go ahead
rapidly. The washouts above
Alpha and the big slough near
Diamond Station, about 10 miles
below Eureka, are the only two
places where any great amount
of piling work will be necessary,
the balance being grade work,
and a good portion of the old
roadbed only needs a little
leveling.

A NORTHERN PARK
Commissioners Urge Purchase
of Triangle South of Oak
Street Extension.

Another plea for parks in the newer
sections of the city, where parks were
not laid out in the original plan for the
city of Washington, is made by the Dis
trict Commissioners in letter to Chair
man Gallinger of the Senate District
committee approving bill for the extern
sion Of Oak street from Its present ter
minus east of Center street to 14th
street.
The bill. as introduced. left the lines of
the extension tQ the discretion of the
District Commissioners. The heads of
the local government desire that the bill
be amended. not only to lay down the
lines of the extension, but to include the
purchase of land for small triangular
park bordering on 14th street between
14th street and 14th street road and
south of the proposed extension of Oak
street
This will insure a park similar to those
in the older parts of the city, the Com
missioners say, and such provision is
desirable. they add. because little provi-
sion is made for parks in the new sec
tons of the city.
The Commissioners estimate the cost
Of the extension and provision for a park
at 50. 800. and explain 1T is all to be as
sessed as benefits upon nearby property
owners.

shore Of their association is located.
Link was one of the most enthusiastic
of the crowd, and when they reached the
shore he was one Of the first to go in
the water for swim. Links was in water
up to his waist. and playfully he splashed
water on his companions as they neared
him. When all were in the water they
swan out into the creek.
After swimming about for less than
twenty minutes Link was seen to sud-
denly double up and sink under the sur
face. 1t was thought at first that he had
dived under the water and was swim
ming below the surface.
A line was obtained about half hour

SEEK CROOK CHAUFFEURS
Gotham Police Organize Taxi
cab Squad to Check Many
Crimes of Violence.

NEW YORK, May 27-The num-
Der of crooks and convicts working
as chauffeurs on taxicabs in the
city has caused the police depart
ment to organize a taxicab squad to
put check on the crimes of violence
in which taxicabs play part. Murders
hold-ups and robberies in which taxi
cabs have been important agents have
been numerous. and the police have
found that there are about 200 men
here with either prison or police rec
ords who have obtained chauffeurs'
licenses from the state
In some places the police have found
that garages are owned by men who
have police regulations. Secretary of
State Lazansky says the time has now
come when the police should have
charge of the supervision of licensed
automobile drivers. He says the secre-
tary of state is in no position to know
the record of a man who applies for a
license.
Many taxicab drivers with bad rec
ords were brought here as strikebreak-
ers at the time of the taxicab strike.
The information recently cabled from
Paris regarding the motor car bandits
there has stirred the local police to
keep a closer inspection on the convicts
operating taXicabs here.

vention. This Is the largest estimate yet
made by the Roosevelt men.

mitteemen are the guardians Of the re-

will try to force it into bankruptcy that
way; and. in the second place. If every
contest is decided against us. we will
have fifty votes to spare after nominal
ing Mr.. Roosevelt on the first ballot
