CAME BACK TO HIS MEMORY
Long Years Of Captivity Had Not e.

The following Is an instance of an

tenacity with which an idea once re-
ceived by him adheres in his men,
DRY.
When visiting the London Zoo, an
Englishman who had seen service In
India got permission for his children
to ride on one Of the elephants. After
the ride he wished to give the beast
a bun and to make him say Please"
using In this connection the phrase
'Salaam kuro" (make a salaam).
The man animal regarded the man
gravely for some time, eagerly cycling
the bun In his hand. At last memory
came to the pachyderm's aid. and up
went his trunk, and he made a most
correct salaam.
The beasts keeper was much as
tonished, asking what the performance
meant. The Britisher explained that
1t was a point OF good manners for an
elephant to raise his trunk up to his
forehead II anyone was going to feed
him, and that frequently elephants
would ask In this polite manner for
something when they encountered
anyone who seemed likely to offer
them food.
The keeper assured the visitor that
he had never seen the elephant do this
before, and that he had been in
charge Of the beast since It's arrival
from India a long time since. For IT
years this animal had never heard
these words, and had always taken
his food without this mark of good
manners.-The Sunday Magazine.

FRANK, FERNALO

Candidates for the assembly are
beginning to come to the front and
the prospects are that there will
be good deal of excellent
material in the field for the people
to choose from at the November
election.
Today Hon. Frank Fernald adds
his name to the list. Six years ago
Mr.. Fernald was nominated for
member of the assembly by the re-
publican equity convention and in
publishing his announcement we
said:
The republican county conven.
ton honored itself when it placed
Frank Fernald of Elko on the
ticket for member of the assembly.
If there is a man in Elko councy
who has the confidence and esteem
of his friends and neighbors in a
greater degree than Mr.. Fernald
has. the writer does not know him.
1t would take 100 much of our
space to give Mr.. Fernald the
Evtice his long residence in the
county and his record as O citizen
entitle him. We say this with the
full knowledge of his politics and
his candidacy on the republican
ticket. We have known him for
over twenty years and know his
record as citizen too we'll to per
nit difference in politics to make
US say aught against him
Frank Fernald came to Elko
county in 1870 and has resided nero
ever since He married in Elko
and raised his family here. Dur
ing all these years, he had the conf.
dence aud esteem of all who knew
Thin. His honesty and integrity
have lever been questioned. He
is free from corporation influence
and knows no boss except the die
tates of own conscience. He has
the ability to make an efficient leg
islator and, if elected, he will give
the people faithful, honest service. "
Mr.. Fernald was elected in 1906
and made an excellent record. He
stood for economy in state and
rounty affairs and will do so again
if nominated at the primary
election and elected.
He favors the election of United
States senators by direct vote of
the people and so declared himself
in his nomination papers. In
submitting his name to the republi.
can voters of the county, we will
simply say that what we said in
1906 about him still goes.

THREE HOUSES BURNED

Three wooden houses were COM
pletely burned at Goldfield Sunday
morning. Fire Chief Murphy
suspects incendiarism as the cir
cmustances were very suspicious.
The loss, which is not covered by
insurance, will be $500.
The fire was at Columbia north
of the site of the former Merchant
hotel. The alarm was sounded at
2:3O a. m. and as the locality is
outside the regular fire district
only the hose wagon was sent In
response. The bulk of the loss was
sustained by Joe Dussault an old
resident of the gold camp, who has
conducted saloons in various parts
of the place for the last six years.
Recently he disposed of his saloon
on Fifth avenue near the terminus
of the Tonopah and TIdewater
railroad and had arranged to bring
a house and store from Columbia
to the same vicinity for the purpose
of starting afresh. He bought the
buildings and had them loaded on
wagons when they were burned. -
