GRAND OLD VETERAN HERE

]. H. Pierson of Carlin, surviv-
or Of the Mexican war and also of
the Civil war was in Elko yester-
day seeing the sights at the Rodeo.
He enjoyed the buckng and riding
like a school boy and pranced
around like a kid in knee pants.
Mr. Pierson entered the city of Mex
leo in the war of 1846-7-8 with the
army which attempted to capture
Santa Anna the general in charge
of the troops in Mexico City. While
they failed to capture the Mexican
general, they got his wooden leg.
Mr. Piersnn passed through the
Civil war and was engaged for
many years on the Western front
ier in the service of the United
States fighting Indians and clear
ing the country of innumerable
bands Of desperadoes. This gallant
old soldier has seen perhaps more
warfare than any man in the state
of Nevada and perhaps as much as
much if not more than any man in
the United States. He is now in
his nintieth year and bears military
honors with modesty. Nevada
should be proud of his record. Elko
county is proud, indeed, to be the
home Of soldier who has fought
more than hundred battles in de-
fense of the Stars and Stripes.
Mr. Pierson has never applied for
pension. He earns his living by
running a dray in Carlin Here is
chance for Uncle Sam to do the
right thing for this hero of more
than q hundred battles. He is pro-
badly the only survivor of that gal
liant band Of Americans who cap
tured the city of Mexico and put
Santa Anna to route.

HUMAN SIDE OF CASTLE

Johnny Johns an Indian who ap-
pea7s before Judge Castle in police
court with alarming frequency
was up again this morning As
usual the charge was intoxication.
Johns pleaded the Rodco as extenus-
ting circumstances. He pleaded for
his freedom to see the rest Of the
Rodeo and participate in the In
disns barbecue tomorrow. Judge
Castles stony heart was softenad in
this case and he had compassion on
the Indian who was turned loose
with the understanding that when
he appeared in police court again
he would get 80 days. Johns said
ne would be heap good Indian in
the future.

Mr. F E Boyd and MIR H r Bac-
on, irrigation and pumping experts
for the General Electric Co of Sch
enectady, N Y, were in Elko yes
terday for the purpose of looking
up the possibilities Of electric
pumping for irrigation in Elko
county. MIR Boyd stated that he
had just completed trip through
the arid districts of California
where more than forty thousand
horse power of electric pumping
motors have been Installed during
the past year, irrigating nearly one
million acres Of land. He consid-
ers that the opportunities for such
irrigation in the Lamoille Valley
are not to be surpassed by any
that he has seen in California
where the land is selling for two
and three hundred dollars pei acre.
Mr. Bacon stated that three hun
dred horse power in electric pump
ing motors had been successfully
installed in the Carson Valley dur
ing the past few months and that
the general conditions in the Elko
county valleys appeared to be
highly favorable for such devsl-
opment
| He looked for a considerable in
crease in the wealth Of Elko Coun-
ty from this sour ,e. Owing to the
fact that the electric pumping
load occurs in the day time when
the power is not in demand for
lighting and similar uses, the pow
er companies are finding il advsn-
tageous to themselves and to the
consumer to make favorable rate
for this service as well as for cleo
trical cooking and heating.

NEVADANS HONORED

San Francisco-Two men well
known in Nevada have been ap-
pointed resident Portola commiss-
toner's at Reno and Carson City, &C
cording to announcement made to-
day by the Portola Festival Com
mittee. The resident commissioner
at Reno is Dr. H A Brown, promi-
nent in professional and CONNER
cial circles; and at Carson City the
commissioner designated is Mr. Geo
T Mills.
These commissioners will co-ordi-
nate the plans for Hevada's partici-
patton in the Portola Festival of
October % to 25, which is to cele-
brate the 400th anniversary of the
discovery Of the Pacific Ocean by
Vasco Nunez de Balboa.
Both commissioners have already
notified the Portola committee that
they believe their communities will
share in al elaborate manner in the
Pacific coasts celebration in Octob-
er.
Similar resident commissioners
have already been appointed in the
principal cities of California and
in the large communities of the
west, including Portland, Seattle,
Salt Lake City, Spokane, Victoria,
B. c.. and Honolulu.
The Portola plans have reached
such state that it is certain that
the big fiesta will be the greatest
thing of the kind ever given in the
West. Pledges of cooperation have
been pouring in from all quarters
of California and with almost two
months before the opening date,
application for space in the big
Portola parados have been made by
communities from the Mexican line
into Canada. The striking aggrega-
tion of floats which will make the
day pageantry will present q wider
territory than has ever been COM
bined in one celebration west of
Chicago.
The Portola program ia growing

features ATTEMPTED in no previous

pageant will be the most splendid
