THREE HOUSES BURNED

Three wooden houses were COM
pletely burned at Goldfeld Sunday
morning. Fire Chief Murphy
suspects incendiarism as the cir
cmustances were very suspicious.
The loss, which is not covered by
insurance, will be $500.
The fire was at Columbia north
of the site of the former Merchant
hotel. The alarm was sounded at
2:3O a.. m. and as the locality. is
outside the regular fire district
only the hose wagon was sent IN
response. The bulk of the loss was
sustained by Joe Dussault an old
resident of the gold camp, who has
conducted saloons in various parts
of the place for the last six years.
Recently he disposed of his saloon
on Fifth avenue near the terminus
of the TonOpah and Underwater
railroad and had arranged to bring
a house and store from Columbia
to the same vicinity for the purpose
of starting afresh. He bought the
buildings and had them loaded on

FRANK FERNAlO

Gandi dates for the assembly are
beginning to come to the front and
the prospects are that there will
be a good deal of excellent
material in the field for the people
to choose from at the November
election.
Today Hon. Frank Fernald adds
his name to the list. Six years ago
Mr. Fernald was nominated for
member of the assembly by the re-
publican cou ty convention and in
publishing his announcement we
said:
The republican county conven.
ton honored itself when it placed
Frank Fernald Of Elko on the
ticket for member of the assembly.
II there is a man in Elko councy
who has the confidence and esteem
of his friends and neighbors in a
greater degree than MIR. Fernald
has. the writer docs not know him.
1t would take loo much of our
space to give Mr.. Fernald the
TVtice his long residence in the
county and his record as q citizen
entitle him. We say this with the
full knowledge of his politics and
his candidacy on tn republican
ticket. We have known him for
over twenty years and know his
record as a citizen too well to per.
NIT a difference in politics to make
us say aught against him
Frank Fernald came to Elko
county in 1870 and has resided nero
ever since He married in Elko
and raised his family here. Dur
ing all these years, he had the conf.
dence aud esteem of all who knew
him. His honesty and integrity
have rever been questioned. He
is free from corporation influence
and knows no boss except the die
tates of own conscience. He has
the ability to make an efficient leg
islator and, if elected. he will give
the people faithful. honest service"
Mr.. Fernald was elected in 1906
and made an excellent record. He
stood for economy in state and
county affairs and will do so again
if nominated at the primary
election and elected.
He favors the election of United
States senator's by direct vote of
the people and so declared himself
in his nomination papers. In
submitting his name to the reDubli.
can voters Of the county, we will
simply say that what we said in

THE MONTH OF Joy.

aNow is the winter Of our discon-
tent made glorious summer" by the
entrance of that month which puts
all doubts at rests. We are not real
ly certain what became Of spring.
There were one or two days in late
April, and perhaps a sporadic hint in
early May, that arouseda faint sus-
picion of the vernal seasons proxi-
nifty. But the last week Of the
month that has passed was properly
part Of June, and summer, not spring,
was its indication. Now, however,
June is here in her own right, and
we know beyond peradventure, by
many, many infallible signs, that
summer is with us 10 truth.
There are the roses. Everybody's
wearin' 'em. And the anxiety Of
those who have gardens to give roses
away is becoming a positive obses-
sion This is surely big rose year,
which perhaps accounts for the high
cost of potatoes. Socialism has tri-
umphed in the rose family; the aris-
tocratic blossom becomes subordinate
in cost to her proletarian cousin, the
tuber.
And then, there are the brides.
When one thinks Of brides in June
one smiles bravely because true love
is having such big fling, but weeps
at the same time, as the bank account
steadily dwindles under the assaults
of the necessity of cheerful giving.
Any individual who does not have
to give at least one wedding present
day in June is not living a normal
existence. The only way to get back
is to get married this month yourself.
If you're already married you just
have to grin and bear 1.-THE gift de-
mand, you know.
There are other signs. For in
stance, that "where-shall- we-go" feel

REMOVE The JAIL.

Grand Jury after grand jury at
every term for several years have re-
commended that improvements be
made 20 the County Jail but little
notice up to the present seems to
have been taken to these recommen-
dations as we said in our last issue,
but in view of the recent report Of
the May Grand Jury something must
be done now.
In view Of this fact we suggest
that the county instead Of spending
its money, in new improvements use
that money With whatever additional
amount is necessary for the purpose
to build new Jail.
There are several reasons why a
new Jail should be built. First be-
cause it i'll take large amount of
money to make the improvements
necessary and it might well be spent
in the erection Of new Jail.
Again, the jail in its present place
renders tho surroundings unhealthy
and exceedingly disagreeable and I'M
slightly to the residents residing in
that community.
When the the jail was first built
in its present location it was then
anticipated by the building commit
tee that the road running north by
the jail would be along the railroad
track on the east side.
The jail does not present an APP
pearance of beauty or health to the
general public. A new Jail could
be built in the opposite corner or
even in some other place off the
public road. Putting it in the place
suggested above would remove the
great objections that now exist to
the Jail in its present location.
That something must be done is
generally recognized as is shown by
the reports Of the many grand juries
which are composed Of, as we have
said before men, who know no other
interests in the Jail than that of
citizens Of the county who want
nothing done except for the best of
the county.
We are merely suggesting the
building Of new Jail because we
feel it meets with the public desire
and demand.
