 Book IA Years Old.
 Among the many old books collect ed by the late Dr. William Soule. is a Dabolrs Schoolmaster's Assistant, published by Nathan Daboll in 1799, printed in New London by Cady and Bells. On the first page are recom- mendations from Noah Webster and from John Adams of the old Plain field academy,
 The book is leather bound and in a l good state of preservation for a volume 114 years old. Some of the examples in the back part are very interesting as well as intricate. One reads: A hare starts 40 vars before a grey hound. and is not perceived by him until she has been up 40 seconds, she seuds away at the rate of 10 miles per hour, and the dog. on view. makes after her at the rate of IS miles an hour; how long will the course hold, and what space will he run over, from the spot where the dog started?

BIG TIME IN CALIFORNIA

The article below from the
Chronicle will give our people some
idea of what to expect in Elko
Sept. lst to Sd.
Salinas, July 80. THE little city
of Salinas situated in the very
heart of California's most extern
sive cattle raising section, is all
a blaze tonight.
The third annual California ro-
deo, or roundup of all ranch own
ers, cowboys and cowgirls and
ranch hands of all Varieties, opened
here today and the artist, or short
story writer in seacrh of local col
or or western atmosphere would
find just as much as either would
have use for by merely taking a
stroll up the main street.
Main Street by the way, is a
thing of beauty and will be JOY
for a week. The illumination of
the principal thoroughfare is both
ample and artistic and shows quite
clearly that the "big week" com.
mittee cared very little for the ex.
penses ncandescents ere as abund-
ant as the thousands of banners,
pennants, bunting and flags that
have been used in the general de-
corative scheme.
On the streets are hundreds OF
cowboys wearing chaps Of all col
ors, broad brimmed hats of all size
and bandaDas of surprising hues;
Meanwhile the women folks Of Sa.

too long already. Henceforth this
paper will sing and shout "Neva-
da" until the echo will be heard
all over the United States--Cali-
fornia will take p back seat so far
as we are concerned and any refer
ence to her climate, products or
people will be eliminated from our
pages unless paid for at regular
advertising rates. We sincerely
hope that all brother editors in Ne
vada will take our veiw and do
likewise. Of all the advertising
stunts that were ever pulled off
California knows them all and the
amount that daily falls Into our
waste basket would fill several
pages of print. Los Angeles, San
Francisco, San Diego and Portola
are the cheif offenders and they
have already secured over one hun
dred thousand dollars worth of
newspaper space in Nevada and ad-
joining states absolutely free.
The Independent calls upon the
newspapers of the state to inaugur-
ate crusade to stop this penny
wise and pound foolish practice. 1t
is time that these takers are given
to understand that any scheme
hatched in California must show
credentials for honesty of purpose
and be prepared to pay for their
advertising the same as other peo-
pie. Space in newspapers is worth
money. Let California schemers
pay for what they get or run away
and sell their papers.

FREE ADVERTISING

A concerted movement appears to
have been inaugurated in California
for the purpose Of boosting lands in
that state. Somebody in our sis
ter state wants all this boosting
done free. We are sorry to note
that sore papers in Nevada are
falling for this kind of stuff. The
Independent has decided to boost
land all it can but it will be Neva-
da lands that it boosts. The poor
suckers who happen to be in the
newspaper business in Nevada have
been boosting California aud,its eli
mate to the blue dome of heaven,
until an Fastener seeing one of our
State papers, might infer that all
that is worth having in the west
