About month ago. c. PEBBLES
Rlanton came to Elko with a
scheme to advertise the resources
of Elko county. He explained the
scheme to us and believing Il to be
splendid thing for the county we
agreed to take up the work with
him. He went ahead with the
work and contributed several in
teresting articles to this paper.
He also asked for permission to
solicit subscribers to the Indepen-
dent while gathering material for
his articles. Permission was
granted and he turned in several
subscriptions, receiving 90 per
cent of the amount collected.
On the afternoon of August 3lst.
he came to the office between 4 and
5 o'clock and informed US that he
was going to Lamoille' on Sunday
and would send in Copy for the
ext week. On Monday morning.
we received a note from him writ
ten at the Commercial hotel in
which he gave the names of several
parties from whom he had collected
subscriptions anu asked that half the
amount be charged to his account.
Since then this office has received
no word from him.
That he has skipped Out leaving
US holding the sack seems as
certain as ANYTHING can be. He did
not 60 to LamoilIe as he promised
and has failed for over two weeks
to notify us of his whereabouts.
We. therefore, conclude that C..
PEBBLES Blanton is a first-class
fraud.
A day or so after his ar
rival the Carson News contained
an item charging C. PEBBLES Blan-
ton with collecting money for the
Nevada Bugle and failing to turn
it over to the proprietor. We
showed him the article and he be-
came very indignant, and pro-
nounced it false. He asked US to
believe in him and pay no attention
to the item in the News. We told
him that we would believe in him
until he did with us what the
Carson News charged he did with
the Bugle. We have kept our
word with him and now publish
him as being worse than a petty
larceny thief.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SEED
Best for Farmers to Grow Their Own
When Posslble-Good Quality ls
Obtained at Small Cost.

Most farmers can and should grow
their own seed grains. IL Is very
difficult and expensive practice to de
pend upon purchasing the proper va
rlety and quality from the scotsman.
With thorough preparation of land
and cnlture, and very little extra cost
of labor, most, If not all, the seed
grain and most of the common vege-
table seeds may be grown as good,
aud oftentimes of better quality, than
seeds bought at twice the cost
AS. for example. certain field of
wheat might on lie average be to-
tally unfit for seed, while some parts
Of the field may be of very good
quality. BY a little extra effort the
seed may be selected from this small
patch, threshed separately and run
through the tanning mill once or twice
to remove all small and shrunken
grain and weed seeds. Il may be best

be kept up by selecting the best land,
properly preparing the seed bed and
giving thorough cultivation and extra
care in harvesting and threshing. The
same method should be followed in the
selection of oats, barley and corn. AL
though the quality of corn grown may
be good, yet by careful selection of
the best ears an Improvement OF both
ield and quality Of grain may be had.
1t will cost no more to grow a good
ear of corn than a poor one. A good
standard variety will sell for consider
able more for seed. A Scotch gar
dener. known to the writer, made
quite a neat little sum by growing
certain variety of sweet corn. lima
beans and tomato seed for a northern
seed firm. His sweet corn seed had

winter is the time to select the seeds
for next springs sowing. Take time
in making the selection; IL Is a profit

For when he was asked yesterday if he was a nephew of John D." the "possessor of considerable increment he frowned and said quickly: "Cut that out old man. Forget it please"
 An exceedingly amiable young man in deed is MT. Rockefeller, and a man that no doubt would suit Birmingham, for he is enthusiastic over Birmingham, and would be delighted to see the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad build into Birmingham. He said as much yes- terday while seated in the private car of President Erling of that line. He is barely thirty-two years of age. dresses we'll wears a very valuable circle dia- mond pin, has eyeglasses. and talks in terestingly of the south. He is director of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul line, representing the Rockefeller inter- ests in that property.
