COUNTY BOARD
IN SESSION TODAY

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday morning, with Chairman
Haviland, Commissioners Stoker and
Bradshaw in attendance
The greater part of the session, thus
far, has been taken up with routine
work and considering petitions for
new roads.
New precincts were established at
Amos and Jungo, with /. B. English
resistry agent at the former and G.. b.
Austin at the latter.
Owing to the men appointed at the
last session as registry agents being
unable to serve, their places were fill
ed as follows: Robert Majors for Ade-
laide and Charles Rost, Spring Valley.
A call was made for all county scrip
issued during the months of June. July
and August, 1910.
The Jail now being constructed at
Paradise was designated as branch
county Jail, with a recommendation
that all prisoners receiving Jail SEN
tence from that town be confined there
instead of at the county Jail.
The question of calling special
election to vote on the proposition sub
mitted at the last meeting bv the
Winnemucca Water & Light company
to sell its plant to the town for $175,-
600 was considered informally last ev-
ening, but no decision was arrived at.
It will probably be taken up again
before the board adjourns.

their confidence in me by investing in
my enterprises, and what I consider to
be my present highest duty to the
state, could deter me from taking ad-
vantage of an opportunity rarely offer
ed for the qualification of one of the
highest political and personal ambi-
tions
1t will be discerned from what has
been said that | appreciate my present
equipment to be rather in the direc-
tion of business activity than to assist
in the nations government. There
are men in Nevada, however, who, by
training and experience can serve the
state with great distinction in the SEN
ate, and, without deprivation to the
state add to their own usefulness and
afford Nevada an added strength in
the national councils. Were l to ac-
cept the Office whatever might be the
character of my senatorial service, the
state would inevitably lose something
which | can give only by remaining
for a time in private life.
Grateful for Consideration.
| cannot close this letter without
assuring you of my gratitude to you
for the great personal consideration
which you have shown in bestowing
upon me the highest office within the
gift of the state. 1t constitutes an
appeal of great strength to ones per-
sonal pride and ambition, and it is
source of extreme qualification to me
that you should have believed me to
he worthy to represent Nevada in the
senate Since your tender of the ap-
. iatment. also, many people OF both
eolitical persuasions, whose friendship
highly value, have been good enough
70 place the stamp of their approval
ancn your selection, and | desire to
take this occasion of assuring them
/ do you, of my high appreciation of
Their confidence and friendship.
With assurances of my high regard
end gratitude and of my devotion to
the state and its welfare, ! am, very
respectfully yours.

that Elko was donning her holiday at

The airship reached Elko yesterday

Appointment Well Received.

While Judge Massey is resident of
Reno, he is equally well known in
Winnemueca, as not month passes in
which he is not called here on profes-
sional business. His appointment has
been received by citizens here in town
and throughout Humboldt county with
great qualification.
Taking all things into consideration,
Judge Massey is without doubt the
best equipped man in the state to fill
the exalted position of United States
Senator. During the Last campaign he
was a competitor at the primary for
the nomination for chief executive of
the state, and his appointment to the
vacant senatorship shows that Cover
nor Oddie is a man of sufficient breath
TO be able to recognize ability in his
political opponents.
