Another evidence that Elko is
leading the other towns in Nevada
in growth and property is shown
by the financial report of postmast-
er j. c. Doughty of Elko. The re-
ceipts now exceed $4,000 a year
and are rapidly increasing. Elko
is not experiencing any spasmodic
boom, but on every hand business
is good and the merchants and
business men in all walks of life
are rushed.
Under the Federal ruling any
postoffice whose receipts reach SI0,-
600 a year may apply for free de-
livery within the city limits. On
July l Postmaster Doughty will
send in an application to Washing
ton for the appointment of two
mail carriers for Elko. If his re-
quest is granted a civil service ex-
animation will be held and the two
highest candidates appointed at q
salary of $500 year each. It is
expected that the Washington
authorities will consent to the
granting Of free delivery of mail in
Elko. If such is the case, the Gov
ernment requires all houses within
the city limits to be numbered.

FREIGHT RATES THAT CONCERN
US.

Does the Southern really want
to assist in building up the orchard
ing industry in Western North Car
DINA?
From the fact that the Southern
Railway Company employs experts
to assist those who are already in
the apple growing business and to
encourage others to plant orchards
in this section one would think that
it is true that it wants to see the
development of that industry. But
a Sylvia man intended to ship a car
load of apples from here to Wau-
chula, De Soto county, Fla, a dis
lance of about $50 miles. He asked
for rates. The shipment would be
made over the Southern and At
lantic Coast Line. The Southern
quoted freight rates at 80 cts. per
hundred pounds by the car load; or
40 cts. per bushel.
This rate is not only unreasona-
BILE but absolutely prohibitive.
And yet the Southern processes
to encourage apple growing in

Jim Mckee, which was like losing
a brother, he stood by his father
day and night till death had finished
his terrible work. He left with the

When the dark hour comes now, he
asks himself, Can the spirits OF
Jim Mckee and my father. who al
ways sympathized with me, some
how get into touch with my soul
and help me?" trust that they
can, Heaven means more to me
now.
l quote h IRE verse of Jim's fav-
orite song. He often had his daugh-
ter to play and sing it:
Some day the silver cord will break
And | no more as now shall sing:
But 0, the JOY when | awake
Within the palace of the Kine!'
Chorus And I shall see Him face
to face,
And tell the story-saved " grace.
This appealed to him as no other
song. For long years he has been
to me a convincing illustration Of
the power of Divine Grace.
Under the shades of Paradise
where the waters of life's ripple in
strains of praise shall talk again
% him who loved and trusted me
In spite of his faults he was
strong man; his better nature as
erted itself at the last. His life
vas like mountain river, tCrtuous.

With silken plume and lance held
