Harm WROUGHT by Free Beer.

THEY were
HERE BEFORE

Col. Tom Ewing and Uncle Billy
Skyrme were roaming about the
streets yesterday. When they were
on earth the first time. Skyrme
took in the Comstock and Ewing
took in the rest of Nevada. What
they do not know about mines
could not be found in all the writ
ings of Clarence King. Raymond
and all the mining doctrinaries on
the coast. The generation in which
they lived the first and second time
are passed away. hence they are
growing a little while, but it is
clear by the looks of them that no
boarding house that merely charges
them the regular price for board
can keep even.
Yesterday they exchanged mac
curacies of the old days and the
capital they have for that kind of
business is unlimited. The colonel
is Just opening his one hundred
and SEVENTEEN bonanza in Nevada,
and is thinking that when it is fully
developed he will take a months
dividends and come in here and
buy Salt Lake. Then he will ap-
point Skyrmc superintendent.

would make book that would be a
record of more high endeavor. more

SEWER INSPECTORS SALARY

There is a report floating around
that a scheme is on foot to raise the
salary of the sewer inspector to SIS
per day. The report is said to have
Commissioner Patterson as its au.
thority.
The writer met Mr.. Patterson
to-day and questioned him in regard
TO the report. In response to ques-
tons, Mr.. Patterson stated that
about three months ago. Roy Jones,
the sewer Inspector, came before
the board and asked for a raise in
salary. That Commissioner Peck
turned to him Patterson and
asked him to name the salary. Mr..
Patterson refused and the matter
was passed over with the remark
by Commissioner Peck to Jones to
go along for a while at the salary
he was getting and the matter
would come up again.
Roy Jones, as sewer inspector, is
now drawing SO a day from the
taxpayers and is attending to his
W business while he is drawing
that pay. Being a plumber by
trade he makes sewer connections
and inspects his own work and calls
it good. By virtue of his being
sewer inspector, he is getting q
larger per cent of the sewer work
than he is entitled to. People will
employ him because they know his
work will be passed by him as sew.
er inspector.
1t is generally charged that he
owes his appointment to his rela,
tionship with Commissioners Pecl
and Griswold. At least, the ap
pointment was made by them over
the objection of Commissioner Pat
terson who resides in Elko and who
should be consulted about matter!
pertaining strictly 10 the town.
We have nothing to say about
Mr.. Jones' qualifications for tn,
position, but we do not believe any
one in the business of making sewei
connections should he the sewer in
spect0r. Besides giving him an un
due advantage over others in tn,
same business. it enables him to d.
inferior work without fear of de
lection.
Now in regard to the propose
raise in salary, we wish to say t
the county commissioners that tn
people of Elko are now payin
heavy taxes and they are in y
mood to be further taxed TO sur
port any relative of either or all O
them. They should also bear j
mind that the people have tn
right to recall their officers an,
that if crowded too far the tax
payers will start a recall movemen
that will bury them along witt
their relatives. The limit of en-
durance is very near reached.
