GOVERNOR CRITICISED FOR
ATTITUDE in BANK CASE
Legislature May Be RecOnvened Without Any
Summons From Executive In Order to
DeIVe Into Charges Made Against
Judge flanagan

1t was reported on the street
yesterday that the office of the At
torney General would soon take
steps for a special call of the legis-
Iature. A request was made of the
Governor to call the session and
place before the legislators certain
charges which the office of Attor-
ney General has made against GER
tain judicial officers. Instead of
taking action on the matter, the
Governor constituted himself judge
and jury and called upon the
accused officer for a statement of
his position. In so doing the Gov
ernor practi ,ally took the matter
out of the hands Of the Attorney
General and has constituted him
self the judge. 1t would appear
that after the statement of Judge
Langan is received, the Governor
will read it and if the statement is
such to convince the Governor that
the Judge is not guilty of the
charges he will refuse to call
the legislature but, if the
statement does not please his
fancy. he will call the special ses-
sion and will thus say to the state
that he considers Judge Langan
guilty. The position is a most un-
fortunate one for governor to be
placed in and has made no friends
on the executive side of the fence.
If current rumors be correct the
Attorney General will take the mat
ter in hand and will present a petit
tion for the signatures Of each
member of the legislature demand
ing of the governor that be call the
session. This petition will recite
the facts Of the case. so far as it
has taken action and will show
that the Attorney General has been
gnored in his request; that the
Governor has taken the matter
into his own hands and has usurp-
ed the duties of the legislature. -

STAMPEDE. NOW CERTAIN
DRY FARMERS SUCCEEDING

This is proving a banner year
for the dry farmers scattered all
over the country from Taber on
the south, to points thirty-hve or
forty miles north of Wells.
Allen Truett was down the latter
part of last week from the north
and reports that the farmers on
dry land in the Stormy canyon
country are in high spirits. All
of them are assured bumper crops,
and there will not be single fail
ure in that section. Mr. Truett
states that the grain on all of the
dry farms is we'll headed out,
stands heavy and thick and that
there is no chance of failure for
any of them. The yield of grain
will be heavy. That this is a dry
section is proven by the fact that
many of the farmers are compell-
ed to haul their water for domestic
purposes.
From the section of Metropolis
the same kind of reports are being
received. Herbert Badt, DR. A G.
Olmstead, and A W Goble spent
Wednesday in that part of the coun-
try and were surprised and as
founded with the magnitude of the
fields of wheat, oats and rye seen
in every direction. On 120 acres of
land owned by J L Vandiver and
Selby Badt there is a magnificent
stand of wheat. more than waist
high to the average man. The
wheat was planted last fall. and
the crop that will be harvested in
August will do a great deal more
than pay for the clearing Of the
land, the blowing, the fencing, the
seeding and the harvesting. In
fact there will be a profit cf from
four to six dollars per acre over
the entire 120 acres. II is con-
servatively estimated that the en-
tire field will average fully thirty
bushels to the acre. The wheat of
the Turkey Red variety is especially
adapted for the making Of the
finest -four. and particularly adapt
ed to dry farming methods. All
over the Metropolis tract the same
results are being obtained and all
without irrigation.
From the Town Creek region the
same kinds of reports are being re-
ceived, and the dry farms of L
Peltier and w Connolly, respect
lively north and south of Wells will
be big producers. Wells Herald

The proposal to hold big stam-
pede in Elko on Labor Day has met
with instant favor. All the busi-
ness men in town are en- thusiastlc
over the prospect of such a show
and are willing to boost the move
ment along. So far there has not
be en- heard a dissenting voice and
the stampede is assurad. Letters
were received today from some of
the riders at Salt Lake inquiring
if the Stampede would be held.
These riders are anxious to come
to Elko and give an exhibition of
their ability in roping and riding.
Monday the movement to hold a
stampede will likely take an orga-
nized form and then all the riders
at Salt Lake and elsewhere will be
told to come here for three days
celebration beginning on Labor
Day.
6 People IN every walk of life in
Elko and vicinity were overjoyed
last when they read in the
InSlenASnt of the plan to hold a
stampede here. The 1'sn met with
popular favor and everybody now
appears willing to take hand and
make the big show a success.
The fact that valuable prizes are
to be given makes it worth while
for the best riders and ropers in
the country to come tc Elko and
compete. 1t is certain that some of
the most daring and thrilling rid
ing ever seen in the west will be
witnessed in Elko during the big
meet there.
The Southern Pacific, the Western
Pacific and other railroads will
likely offer excursion rates from
all points in Utah. California
and Nevad. to Elko for the three
days Of the stampede. With re-
duced rates it is expected train
load after trainload of visitors
from the East, West and South will
be dumped into Elko.
The sporting blood of the cow
boys and cowgirls has been aroused
and many who did not take part
at Salt Lake City are expected to
come TO Elko and take part in the
contests. Every ranch has it's pride
and when it is known that numer-
GUS ranchPrs will send their best
riders it is certain that the other
ranchers will not be slow in fall
3 ing in line. A contest between the
best riders of the numerous big
ranches in Nevada and Utah will
be full of ginger and worth going
miles to see. With the boys
betting their piles" on the success
of their own outfits it is clear that
there is certainly going to be some
fancy and expert riding. With q
score of horses such as Nevada
can produce 1t will not bo any old
maids party for there are horses
in this state that do not take kind.
l&A the idea of being ridden, and
the man who sticks on them must

here for the three days and Elko
will be the livest town on the

With a'great barbecue going full
blast and baseball games and other
attractions on the side there will
be no end to the fun of these who
come here. 1t is planned to have
several GOOD attractions outside
of the stampede and there will
be something doing for the visitors

Labor Day is a holiday anyway
and with no other towns holding
any celebration large majority

come to Elko and have the time of

The Salt Lake Tribune of Friday
said: --..
The Stampede attracted more
than 5000 spectators yesterday af-
ternoon, and all went away salts
fed that they saw something they
had never seen before. The heat

Indians wanted, as they were all
up to their best and many very
close and interesting contests were
staged. The events which were
settled Yesterday afternoon were

ing contest for the championship
of the world; the cowboys fancy
roping contest for tho champion
ship of the world, and the cow
boys contest bare back bucking

cocted that nothing was left but the
bones and precious few of them.
At Woodward's grove a ball game

that the contest had to be called off.
No accurate account was kept of the
