There is nh law. now, whicll will
permit any one to vote for United

on the part of Mr.. Weight to com
pei the people of ElkU county to

Constitutions.
Everybody appreciates the i'm

realizes that possibly Elko county's
vote may decide this contest.
Friends of Senator Massey rely
upon his receiving a substantial
majority here. Mr.. Pittman, like

county will return him majority.

Muslin is named from Mosul. city
on the banks Of the Tigris; Cambria

Gauze is probably derived from GAIA

him, and yet in his eyes there was

fading fanaticism. He was still the

DO You Know?

In the issue Of the Daily Free
Press, dated October %, 1912, in
its column Of current fiction, which
it is RUNNING at the present time,
in which occurs so often the phrase
do Y on KDow?" the people of
Elko county are asked if they know
that the salary of Mr.. Willis short
ly after his election, was raised
from $4,000 per month to S75. 90
per month. We presume the only
fair inference to be drawn from
the inquiry is that in accepting this
increase Of salary, Mr.. Willis has
been guilty of something heinous,
and is a reason why he should lot
b re elected.
At the risk If becoming a
plagiarist, the Independent will ask
the people of Elko county:
Do you know that when w. G.
Greathouse was elected and qualifi-
e as county recorder of Elko
county, it was under a law that
fixed the salary Of county recorder
from the first day of January, 1909
at 81 10000 a year,.
And do you know that by an act
passed March 6, 1909, the salary
of W. G Gyaathouse was raised
from S 800 on to $1,000 90 a year?
And don't you know that Mr..
Greathouse always took advantage
of this increase in salary? Do you
know that by an Act passed on the
tenth day of March, 1911, the
office Of county recorder of this
county became still further bur-
den on the tax payers, by adding
an extra clerk, at an additional
salary of 10000 ger month, al.
though the books of the county
treasurerc show no substantial in.
crease in the receipts of the county
recorder office, fair index of
whether or not the work in that
office had increased or not?

QUEER CASE OF SMUGGLING
Stolen Partridge Eggs Brought Into

A singular case of smuggling by
means of dummy baby was brought
to light by the city customs officials at

Partridge eggs have for long past
been extensively stolen from preserved
estates in Hungary, struggled into vi.
emma and sold to poultry dealers, who
hatched the eggs in incubators, brought
up the birds by hand, and sold them
below the prices asked by more hon

smugglers has resulted in the arrest OF
two peasant women.

variable national custom, to a cushion,

face was visible. The women were
noticed to be little agitated as they
passed the customs, and they were fol-
lowed home. It was then discovered
that while one baby was living child,
the other was a dummy. 1t consisted
