The Council heard the ladies at

SO cents although no aims were
solicited. An officer saw the money
pass. Sheehan was arrested for beg
ging. In court, thinking Of the
hoy he had buried he had a hard

Morris Valdez, George Adams

Elko is going to Reno.
Mr. Garcia is going to ship thirty

The Elko Rodeo at the Reno Fair

be great in many ways.

THE get ACQUAINTED" TRIP

When President Sproule of the
Southern Pacific, and his subordi-
nate officials paid a visit to Elko
a few days ago in a get acquaint-
ed" trip he touched a responsive
chord in the hearts of our people
and made a hit that will have a
telling effect on the company's
business in Elko in the future. 1t
was a stroke of diplomacy and the
mastery manner in which he met
u representative business men
and talked TO them as IMAM to
man" and not as a lordly railway
magnate to a lot of serfs, was a re-
velation. Evidently President
Sproule is the right man in the
right place and he has a body of
s~ubordinates equally as well fitted
to fill their various positions as
their ~chieftain. They were all as
agreeable and pleasant gentlemen
as n could meet in any portion of
the United States. Each man
seemed determined to ascertain the
requirements Of the public and
were apparently just as eager to
meet those requirements to the sat-
isfaction Of the general public
Such trips out among the people
ought to be productive Of much
good and the Southern Pacific is to
be congratulated on having such
able and business like men at the
helm in the west. a few more de
monstrations like that will con-
vince the general public that rail-
way magnates r just common
business men and courteous gentle
men in their relations with the com.
mon people, who are their best Gus
toners after all. The party who
made the trip to Elko were Will
