A GOOD DINNER

Judge Gary, head of the Steel
Trust, attended banquet in New
York. The food was good; the
lights were bright; the silver
shimmered; the wine sparkled;
the cigars added a final complete
ness to the happiness of everybody
present. When it came Judge
Gary's turn to speak his mind was
saturated with benevolence and
his thoughts turned to the welfare
Of: the republic, the sufferings of
the working men. Listen to him:
Things are being said at the
present time akin to the things
that were said prior to the French
Revolution, and in my opinion
there is danger ahead. Unless
capitalists, corporations and men
of great wealth take a leading part
in the amelioration Of conditions,
there will be changes made later
by the mob"
The same newspapers which
told the story of the banquet, and
of Judge Gary's speech, also
chronicled the testimony of wit
nesses before the Stanley COM
mittee. These witnesses told how
the Steel trust forces MEN to labor
twelve hours a day, seven days
week, for wages which compel
them to live like swine-a condi-
ton which Judge Gary could
ameliorate with a stroke of his pen.
The banquet hall is dark. The
diners are gone. The tables are
stripped of their linen and viands.
And somewhere in that deserted
room, shrunken so small that the
servants failed to see it when they
swept out the crumbs, is Judge
Gary's beautiful altruism. -Ex-

SHEEP SAVING Invention

Virgil Connell, a sheepman of
Antelope Valley has invented
novel device for protecting his
lambs from coyotes and after
several extensive trials the zap
paratus has proved vrey successful.
1t consists of an electrical device
that sets eff an explosion every
hour and rids any given locality
of coyotes. The timing of the
explosions we're set at 60 minute
intervals after a close study of the
traits of the destruct i've animals.
The explosion causes hasty re-
treat and before the coy ote can
decide on another attack he is
again scared off.
Coyotes kill many young sheep,
and the loss can be prevented by
Mr.. Connell's device. He is about
to apply for a patent and when
the invention is protected it will
be placed on the market.-Record-

AMERICAN CORN

Indian corn is native of Ameri-
ca. The Indians cultivated it
when the white man first came,
and their legends carried it back
to Manitou, or Great Spirit, from
whom it came as his choicest gift
to man. says the Washington Post.
Without it the earlier settlements
would have persisted.
1t grows in all parts of the
United States and in it's every
stage presents varied charms an d
attractions, more alluring to the
eye than wa1 ing fields of wheat
or rice, the white cotton or the
splendid sugar cane, with which it.
vies in stateliness and outranks in
its gorgeous and changeful h ues of
green. ......
One third of the human family
lives on rice, but it is not the third
that counts. The date palm Els
everything to the desert dweIler.
So is corn to the American,
although often Indirectly. He
eats it on the cob and off, makes
of it innumerable kinds of food
and turns it into hogs and cattle.
In its sturdy vigor Indian corn
is representative of the people. 1t
strikes its tap root deep into the
earth, while the lateral roots
reach out in every direction. 1t
droops under the long drouth, but
given to or three rains toward
caring time it yields a harvest
that puts the gloomy prophets to
shame.

AN ENTHUSIAST MEETING

held at the courtroom Saturday
toT t5c purpose % organizing a
Commercial Club for Elko cou nty.
Commissioner Willis called the
meeting to order and stated the
object Of the gathering. On
motion, H. S. Taber was elected
temporary secretary.
Mr.. A. E. Kimball was called
on aid spoke Of the necessity of an
organization to advertise the
resources of the county and the
opportunity it, offers tc settlers.
Such an organization vas also
needed for the betterment of
conditions within the county. He
read a dispatch from Mr.. M. S.
Badt of Wells pledging the hearty
support of the people Of that
section to the movement.
The chairman then called on Mr..
j. M. Fulton, district freight and
passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific. Mr.. Fulton first opened a
suitcase and laid out a lot of
advertising matter his company is
using in boosting Nevada in the
east ard in foreign countries. He
then spoke substantially as
follows.
Mr.. Chairman:
Nevada is usually by those un-
acquainted with the State. consi-
dered a desert in which there
are occasional good mines. 1t is,
however, a fact that in 1911,
Nevada produced and sold $4,000
head of beef cattle, which brought
4,98O,OO0.
Our mutton, sheep and lambs
brought another million dollars.
The 1911 wool clip brought to ur
State another million dollars.
We can, therefore, figure that
live stock and wool brought to
Nevada during 1911, Sc, $50, 900.
Our potato crop brought $780,
900: onions, 100000; alfalfa
brought to the farmers 100000.
We did little in the way of
hogs, poultry or grain. Petaluma,
California, durin G 1911 produced
and sold 100000 eggs and 100,
600 bro:l ,rs for which they received
50, 100000 Can you show any good
reason why Elko county should not
do likewise? We know your val
leys produce abundant crops of
grain, which could be turned into
eggs and chickens at a good profit.
There is always a mar ket for all
you can produce, provided, of
course, that you produce enough
to make your locality worth
depending upon for a supply.
You daily see shipments of
poultry passing your town from
Kansas and Nebraska. When you
get the small farmer, you, too,
will produce wealth from poul try.
You have: the land, water and
climate. To get population you
only need to set-forth your natural
advantages.
There are hundred of thousands

ties such as you of Elko count.
can offer, but they do not know of
them. This move of getting to-
gether is surely on right lines.
The comp my in whose employ /
am, always does its share, as our
magazine Abroad" will show,
which. with our book on Nevada,
has been distributed in every State
of the Union and in foreign
countries.

explicitly the opportunities, and
to whom application should be made

Elko county will do this. go.
We have been giving special, low
colonist rates for many years.
These rates have been. advertised
all over the world. Every county
i'll California has also advertised,
with result that they have secured
over three-quarters of million
settlers: Nevada comparatively
none.
Home seekers lstes from
eastern points to Elko, Deeth and
Wells go into effect in March and
continue through the year. They
are low rates. They are to your

can and should have national
reputation as dairy country.
Mr.. Fulton's remarks wore
enthusiastically received.
Superintendent Ogilvie of the
Western Pacific responded to the
next call. He read a telegram
from Mr.. Lomax, passenger traffic
manager of the Western Pacific,
saying it was impossible for him tn
be present but that his company
would do all in its power to
advertise and build up Elko
county. The passenger department
would meet the people of the
county half way in building up and
settling the county. Mr.. Oglivie
than said that in 1911 the Western
Pacific had paid out in Elko county
mostly in wages 1925, los, of
which $l15.O38 was paid to
employees whose homes are in Elko.
In January, the sum of S19,677
was disbursed in this county, of
which Elko received $l4,893. He
urged concrete organization
with men whose duty it would be
to gather information and be able
to give accurate information to
people.
The chairman stated that the
county commissioners had received
many inquiries concerning land and
the opportunities offered by the
county, but they had been unable
to answer the questions asked as
they had no reliable information.
He said in the last few months
fully rs communications had been
received, mostly from California.
Mr.. Frederick Davis thought
that Mr.. Fulton talked differently
than the land department of the
Southern Pacific company did.
He had made inquiries about
certain section of railroad land
near town and had received very
curt letter saying the land was not
for sale.
Mr.. Fulton stated that he knew
nothing about he land matters of
the company and therefore could
give no information on that sub
ject. f."
Considerable discussion followed
regarding the permanent organi-
eaton of the Club and Mr.. F.. A. p.
Johnson finally moved that the
temporary organization be con.
trnued for two weeks aid that the
secretary send invitations to the
people of every precinct in the
county to meet on March 9th for
the purpose of forming a perman-
ent org anizaion. The motion was
unanimously adopted.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Elite Shows Great Inp..

Pensacola's picture fans never
miss an opportunity to see an Imp"
because Imp pictures rank among
the very best made. Today the Elite
will show a two-reel Imp" picture
that will make the most critical fan
sit UP and take notice" Not only is
the story an unusually strong one but
Asia Nielsen, the great actress, will
appear for the first time in motion pic
lures to display her wonderful ability.
The picture depicts the life Of a
young woman, who, firing Of her hus-
band and her life in attractive sur
roundings, conceives a sudden admi-
ration for a picturesque circus man.
He also is attracted by her, and when
he appears and demands that she cast
her lot with the circus folks, she yields,
and leaves her beautiful home for the
wandering life Of circus.
Under the tuition of her admirer, she
becomes a gifted member of the
"haute ecole." The new life fasci-
mates her; it is so unconventional and
exciting. Months pass, and, alas, she
becomes disillusioned, for her hero,
Rudolph, proves tickle; he transfers
his affections to another girl Of the
circus. There is a quarrel between
the two women and Asia and Rudolph
are discharged.
Down they sink in the social scale:
he becomes a dissolute ne'er- dowell,
and she the pianist at a popular beer
garden

has never ceased to care for Asia, and
in a chance meeting persuades her 20
