CAN'T PAY THE REWARD

In letter written yesterday
to District Attorney J. D. Fred
ericks, of Los Angeles county con-
corning the application of William
j. Burns for the reward Of $40,
600 offered by the state assembly
for the arrest and conviction of
the Los Angeles dynamiters, State
Controller A. 3. Nye. answers that
he cannot under the law, draw
the warrant for money, because
there is not $4,000 in the con-
tingent fund of the assembly. The
so called reward cannot be looked
upon as legitimate expense Of
the legislature, says Nye.
Nye, however, suggests that a
claim bill be introduced in the
Legislature at the next session.

. THE REAL BOOSTER

We hear a great deal these days
Of boosters. And we will venture
just at this stage of the whoop-up
game that there are whole band
wagon load Of persons who may
think they are boosters who have
no more claim to the title than a
last years hens egg has to respect
on any we'll regulated breakfast
table. says an exchange.
So many persons have the wrong
idea Of the definition of booster.
The fellow who covers his expan-
sive chest with ribbons and badges
on every occasion is not a. booster.
Tie man who jumps in behind the
brass band and yells like Piute
and cavorts around like a kid at
college is not booster. The man
who plays to be elected a delegate
tor every convention that comes
along and advertises himself is not
booster. 49,. .
1t is the fellow who gets right
down to business and tries to do
real, substantial good to his CON-
munity or to the section of the
country from which he derives his
bread and butter, who deserves
this wreath of fame.
1t is the man who in a quiet way
is always preaching the story of
the good things; it is the man
who in private life shows there is
more to this world than Grabbing,
who is the booster. 1t is the man
who does not make a bushes of
magnifying misfortune who is the
booster. 1t is the man who is not
forever going around with a sour
face and a complaint who is the
booster.
= The real booster does not shout
from the housetops. The real
booster has no personal axe to
grind. He is just a plain human
being who sees good and wants the
world to see good with him. He
is the fellow who spreads sunshine.
He is the fellow who makes pros
perity and gets but small share
Of it. He is the fellow who is
satisfied; the fellow who is happy !;
the fellow who is contented and
wants the world 60 know it.
And no brass band nor badges
are necessary to spread the gospel
that he breaches. For he is the
real article.

WAR TIME COFFEE

This was the formula of coffee
mixture that sold freely in the
days of gross adulteration during
and Immediately subsequent 10 the
Civil war, before matters began
to right themselves, as they did
without the help Of food laws:
Best, Java coffee. one pound:
rye, three pounds. Carefully
clean the rye from all bad grains,
wash to remove dust, drain off the
water and put the grain into the
rooster, carefully stirring to
brown 1t evenly. Roast the coffee
separately. Grind the mixtrue
and pack in alright containers.
An essence OF coffee was prepared
by boiling down molasses until
hard and then grinding it to a
powder and mixing it with a half
pound of good ground Java coffee
using four pounds of the powdered
molasses. From the Ideal Grocer.

GAMBLERS formed LOOSE

Inc grand jury OF White Fine
county last week refused to indiet
the three men who were caught
gambling by q member of the state
police. The News in commenting
on the failure to indiet these men
says:
After having retained its entity
for eight months, the grand jury
submitted its final report yester-
day afternoon in the district court
and was discharged from further
service by Judge Moran. The re-
concentrations and findings of that
body pale into insignificance CON-
pared with the pUtal report that
was returned Friday afternoon
when the grand jury ignored the
fcharges of gambling against ]. Z
Burke, Thomas Murray and Mau
Sing, otherwise known as "Fenchie,
who were caught in drag net laid
by the state police.
The news that the grand jury
had failed to indict the three
accused gamblers created consider
able CONSERVATION in business and
other circles. and came like
thunerbolt out of a clear atmos-
phere. The indiViual members are
being censurGd on the streets in
view of the newspaper accounts
Of the raid which gave a correct
description of the arrest and the
circumstances leading up to it.
and which to the average citizen
seemed to be sufficient evidence to
warrant.the grand jury requesting
the state to try the case in the
district court.
The criticism heard in various
quarters differs materially, some
persons assigning a marked hatred
for the anti-gambling: law while
others give divers reasons for the
outcome, but no one has so far
ventured the opinion, so far as the
News has been able to learn that
lack of evidence entered into the
case, some citizens being so bold
as to refer to the grand jury as the
official white-washing body.
How the vote stood on the ques-
ton will probably never be knwn
by the public. The grand. jurors
refuse to divulge the secrets of
their deliberatins and all that can
be learned is that there we're six
teen members at roll call in'district
court at the time the report was
returned and it requires twelve
to find an indictment. The question
most frequently heard on the
streets the past two days is "Who
voted no? Who killed it and
why?"
Several members were inter-
viewed by News reporter with
view to learning how the vote
stood and other matters that
brought about the result but
nothing definite could be learned
as to the cause Of the failure to
indict. However these members
did not hesitate to declare them
selves emphaticaIly on the subject
Of how they stood and showed
mingled disappointment and dis
gust in ey.ry word and look

metropolis, New, JAM, 10, 1912.
Special correspondence.
The past week has been busy
one in the newest and biggest
little city in the State of Nevada.
On Monday, the 18th, the South
ern Pacific invaded the place with
two private cars bearing officials
OF that railroad and some from
the Union Pacific. Among the
officials may be mentioned j. M.
Davis, Sup. U. p; VIM. Toy, Asst.
Supt.; j. T. Rowland, Dist. Sup.
S. P; F. w. Heintzman, Sup.
Motor Car; D. Hecker. Master
Mechanic, and M. Fisher Division
Engineer.
The new depot will be completed
early in February when a daily
motor car sevrice will be inaugu-
rated.
The Pacific Reclamation Com
pany is pioneer in the kind of
work being done in Nevada. This
company and its subsidiary COM
pany, The Metropolis Improve
ment, have made a. city to order
out in the sage brush. They have
built and equipped a one hundred
thousand dollar hotel, built and
furnished modern school house,
built over mile of cement side
walk: Put in operation a water
works system Of sufficient capacity
to meet the requirements of city
of 3 TO 5 thousand population, put
in successful operation a modern
electric light plant and telephone
system and then by completing
the dam and irrigation bitches
invite settlers to come to Elko
county and enjoy all the conven-
fence of city life. with none of the
Inconvenience of pioneer life to
cont end with. Here in our own
county, at our very door is an
opportunity to live in a modern
city, made to order, or to grow
grain or fruit on irrigated land as
fertile as the valley of the Niles.
1t is not dream or a visionary
promise but reality. The con-
summation of q scheme so we'll
thought out and so admirably ex-
ecuted as to Danish ali doubling
Thoughts, and put Nevada knock
ers under the sod.
The Pacific Reclamation Co.'S
advent marks an epoch in the
history of Nevada. The men
behind the scheme are endowed
with brains, Drawn and m oney. All
these requisites are brought into
requisition with mazing repidity and
the greatest prodigality.
The company has unlimited faith
in Nevada and have been quick to
respond to the call of wisdom in
the general scheme of develop
ment. 1t is backed with ample
capital to carry to a successful
conclusion every promise made or
implied. 1t is managed by men
who are big and broad in every
sense of the word. They are the
livest bunch that has thus far
operated in Nevada. May their
tribe increase and their field of
usefulness enlarge. Such men
and such schemes will put Nevada
where she belongs on the map.
The talk which has been appear
ing in the papers of the United
States about pulling of a prize
fight at Metropolis is only clever
piece Of advertising. The manage
ment have not entertained the
proposition for minute. They
would be the first to invoke the
law to stop it, if there was any
