cause of the passage Of the bill un-
der discussion, but there is serious
objection to bonding the county un-
til it has been passed on at an
election held for that purpose.
The right to decide for themselves
when bonds are to be issued for
educational purposes or public i'm
provements. is one they refuse to
relinquish. at the behests Of the
legislature itself. The Inde-
pendent is sorry that the question
has arisen in this manner. 1t is
not finding fault, neither is it set
ting the seal Of condemnationD on
any one in particular. 1t is as much
for Wells as it is for Elko. That
tiourishing community is just as
much part of Elko county as the
town of Elko and will get just as
much consideration at our hands.
The question of the right to bond
the county without a popular vote
on the question, is just as import
ant to Wells as it is to Elko.
Future generations in Wells may
be adversely affected by this lew,
if allowed to stand unchallenRed,
just as strongly rs the present Of
future generations In any other
part of the county. The cause Of
education should be, and must be
upheld. but it is not necessary, nei-
ther is it the part Of wisdom, to du
it by cbicanery. or unconstitution-
al methods. Cause, place, and
time must bow to the constitution.
If the rights of the people under
the constitution have been trampled
under foct it is the bounden duty
of every citizen Of the State to lend
assistance in securing relief and
restoring the rights Of the people.
The liberties of the people shall
not be abridged, neither shall their
rights be trampled under foot in
the name of education or religion.

THE GREAT DIVIDE"
A Big House and a Fine Play

The Great Divide" q western
drama was presented at the Opera
House last night by the Porter
Stock Co. before a big house of
appreciative people. This play
presented a most peculiar aud yet
beautiful plot.
The scenes are laid in Arizona,
where young lady and her brother
go to Arizona to start a cactus
fibre industry. One night when
the heroine is left alone in a
cabin, three desperados looking for
excitement, break into the build
ing. To save her honor she gives
herself to the strongest of the
three. This man buys off the Mexi-
can with string of gold nuggets,
and fights duel with the other
man. He wins the fight, marries
the girl; takes her to his unde-
veloped mining claim, which later
makes him a millionaire.
The girl unwilling to use his
money, makes Indian rugs and
purses, ard uses her earnings to
buy back the chain of nuggets from
the Mexican. She is found by her
brother, and also persuaded by her
school girl love to throw the chain
at her husbands feet. Then she
leaves for the east with her
brother.
The husband has now become
wealthy but is still undeveloped in
character and refinement. He
leaves for the East after learning
that the cactus fibre Industry has
proved failure and reduced his
wife's family to poverty. He buys
back the cactus industry and makes
it a success. He arrives home and
peFsuades his wife's mother, Ito
whom he has been sending money,
to- give the cactus industry to his
wife as though 1t had come from
an uncle.
After the wife discovers the plot
she realizes the strong love and
character of her husband, a recon-
ciliation is effected, which ends one
of the best plays of it's kind ever
produced.
Special praise must be given to
the excellent manner in which the
hero Steven Ghent (Mr Bert Port
er) plays the part of the misjudg-
ed husband. He is master. He
is we'll supported by Miss Margaret
Worthington (Ruth Jordan) who
takes the wife's part. Lou Ander-
son excelled in the old mans part.
Miss Clayton as the mother won
great praise. The same may be
said of Miss Dunbar, as Ruth Jor-
dams sister Mr. Knapp as the
architect and Mr. Earle as the Mexi-
can both made hits.
Earl and Clifford in their spec
ialities delighted the audience. To-!
night four act comedy will be
presanted-"The Irish American
Cousin" as played by NatIGoodwin.

quoted Oil April 4th in her address

"No reference was made by me

also large percentage was floating

DOG POPULATION
HAS INCREASED
ESTABLISHMENT OF POUND RE-
SUITS IN LARGER REVENUE
FROM SALE OF TAGS,
Mt OF POUND RE

The dog population of Richmond,
according to returns from license tags
in the office of Treasurer Pace, hovers
around the 5000 mark.
Up to the time certain parts of
Henrico and the Southside were taken
in as portions OF the city Of Rich
mond. the dog population, except
those garbbed up by superintendent
COINS dogcatchers. and disposed Of
under the watchful eye of Lieutenant
Carl Illig, hardly reached the four
thousand mark.
The establishment of the dog
pound has much TO do with this in
crease Now owners of dogs find that
they cannot successfully evade the
license tax. Ii they do the dog
grabber gets in the game. and fire.
quently the owner has to deposit
little sum with justice Crutchfleld, be-
sides being compelled to secure the
tag.
Lieutenant Illig has been In charge
of the pound since its establishment
about ten years ago, His system of
disposing OF the poor, miserable,
homeless cur is, according to all au-
thorties quite humane.
Deputy Peter Howle, who handles
the tags in the treasurer's office,
stated yesterday that he felt satisfied
that au-the- dngs4 with homes, had
been properly tagged
