MORE RAILROAD POSTS

Thursday afternoon EMPLOYEES
of the Southern Pacific railroad
company set posts on the north
side of the streets, marking the
limit of the railroad right of way.
one post was set against the side
walk on the east side of the
20 nmercial Hotel, another across
the street near the northwest
corner the 1t occupied by the
Owl saloon acd third near the
north east corner of the Bakery
saloon on Fifth street. Other
posts were set near the corner of
blocks and alleys east of Fifth
street. 10
AS soon as Hayden Henderson
heard Of the post being sent on
the Owl saloon property he left the
bank ami pulled up the post. The
one by the Commercial Hotel side
walk was chopped off even with
the ground last night. SIS
Parties owning the property on
which the posts were set should
pull them up to prevent the rail-
road company from even claiming
shadow of right by tt e presence
OF the posts. In fact, every pre-
caution should be taken by the
owners OF property in Elko and
along the line of the Southern
Pacific to prevent the railroad
company from setting up any
claim to that portion of the right
of way it sold and decided away.
AL offers of compromise by leasing
or otherwise should. be promptly
rejected and the officers and
employees of the company pro-
hibited from entering upon the
property for the purpose of effect.
ing a compromise or for any other
purpose connected with its So
called claim.
In this matter, the parties whose
property and rights are at stakes
should stand as a unit against any
attempt of the Southern Pacific
railroad company to steal the
property it once sold and conveyed
to innocent purchasers.

FOR IMPROVED SANITATION.
Residents of Virginia Towns to Fol.
lew Washington's Example.

Residents of Clarendon, Ballston,
Rosslyn and the adjoining commune
ties, representing an aggregate of
about 5000 people. are engaged on a
sanitary crusade whose object is to
improve the living conditions in the
several settlements on the Virginia
side of the Potomac opposite Wash
1ngtOn. In pursuance of this move
ment they have arranged for lecture
on suburban sanitation by DIR. John l..
Norris assistant health officer of the
District of Columbia. and Dr. Arthur
L. Murray. head of The Stars anti
fly campaign and secretary of the
Washington city cleanup move
ment. The lecture, which is free. is to
be delivered in the engine house at
Clarendon next Tuesday evening at S
o'clock.
Energy has been added to the sani-
tation movement in these communities
by the fact that there have been sew
eral cases of typhoid and malaria in
the district. and the residents feel that
any spread can be checked by a diff
fusion of sanitary knowledge. 1t is
possible that at the meeting some
movement will be made toward the
general sewerage scheme that has
been agitated in these settlements for
some time.

Commissioner August Oehlert will.
therefore. be the only member of the
present board left, with the exception of
Commissioner Fisher who simply changes
his place as commissioner to that of
mayor. and thereby presides over the de-
alterations of the board.
Already there are several applicants for
the positions of commissioner. and there
is considerable speculation as to who will
get the offices.
One important matter which the present
board may dispose of before going out of
office is the election of three police ser
geants. in conformity with a recent
change in the city charter made by the
state legislature. If such is done by the
board it probably will be at meeting

that body will again take up for con-
sideration the lease of the franchise to

pany for the use of Royal street for a
period of twenty years. The board of

not yet been called together. but this can
be done at the instance of three members

Judging from present indications the al

two respective boards OF city council.
