we mention as being worthy Of
special notice. This is an imported
P%ercheron stallion "Faustin" by
name. He bought him six years
ago from Mclaughlin Bros of
Kansas City, and this Company
imported "Faustin" direct from
France. Faustin has no equal in
Elko County. His colts sell, when
two years old, like hot cakes on a
cold morning. ranging in price
from 5000 to $3.50, and when fully
developed these colts bring from
$500 up.
Besides breeding heavy draft
horses this horseman is noted for
his fancy drivers, a team of which

However four weeks ago Mr.
Peck shipped to Elko, from Pleas

trotting stallion Kenny Lou Jr.,"
sired by the famous "Kenney

Bud" Doble, owner of "Kenney
Lou" in one season on the grand

made a record of 2.1O4. "Kenuey

raised by j. b. Haggins of Del
Paso. Cal, and has a record of
2.1S.
This fine colt "Kenney Lou Jr''
will start for "Peck's Park" at
White Rock, in a few days. 1t is
Mr. Peck's purpose to use him for
breeding purposes.

THE Three LINKS
New Life Taken On In
l. o. O. F. Lodge

1t is wonderful how the mystic
spell Of THE Three Links standing
for Friendship. Love and Truth con-
quers and continues conquering
worldwide Everywhere through
out this country, and other coun-
tries when Oddfellowship has been
implanted, a steady growth results.
Elko Lodge No Is /. o. o f. is
going ahead by leaps and bounds.
This can be see by the way new
members are joining the order.
At the regular session last night
and a busy one it was, 8 we're elect
ed, 2 were initiated, 2 took the
third degree, and 6 new appli:a-
tions were received. Isaac Wood
ouse, of Ruby Valley, travelled
60 miles to be initiated. and with
him stood Ira Sisco of Elko. Alex
Gardner from Ruby Valley treked
over the plains so miles and Wm
Flynn made it in 80 miles. They
both took the third degree. Surely
men would not travel so far unless
they felt the benefits to be derived
from Oddfellowship. From now
on watch No. Is hustle.

WASHINGTON LETTER

mar l S Pepper of Iowa. Democrat
looked upon here as a prospective
United States Senator from that
state, made a speech on Monday
April 2sth, in the House of Repre-
sentatives which foresha1ows the
embarrassing position in which
~Progressives and progressive Re-
publicans who vote against the I'm
derwood Bill will find themselves in
the next campaign.
Among other things, DR. Pepper
said:
81 want to say to those progress
sive Republicans who sit in this
chamber, and in the body at the
other end of the Capitol, that the
issue which they will have to meet
is clear and un~mistakable.
For years they have been join
ing with Us in the condemnation
ofthe Paynes-Aldrich law. They
have won favor with the people
largely because they have promised
to favor a real and substantial re-
duction of the tariff rate.
THE opportunity is now present
ed to them to snow their good
faith. 1t will not do for them to
hide behind captious objections %
particular schedules. Such tatics
will play into the hands Of the
standpat Republicans, who above
all things want the rate to remain
unchanged.
II want to say to you low-tarif
Republicans it is up to you now to
demonstrate to the country whe-
Their or not you were sincere in
your protes.ation.
Some of you who are going TO
vote against this bill will try to
justify your vote by saying, 81 am
in favor of lower duties, but this
particular bill is not just to my
liking" Such an excuse is worse
than absurd; it is dishonest.
is there a Progressive or a pro-
gressive Republican in the United
States who honestly believes that
if his party we're in power a tariff
bill would be framed which would
meet the indi vidual views of any.

Daniel Webster, and were to re.

Cannon, he would never have ar

which suited him in every parti,

A Little Trip to
"Peck's Park"
A Little Paradise Where Commissioner
). II. Peck Raises Fine Horses, Fruit,
Vegetables and Other Products
What "Teddy's" Defeat
Lost im---How Kenny
Lou Jr." is True to
His Ancestry.

j. II. Peck from White Rock is
one Of the Commissioners from the
north end Of the county, and he
has been in Elko on business since
Sunday. Tonight he left for Car
lin accompanied by Commissioners
Isaac Griswold and Webster Pat
t~erson, where they go to inspect
the old Carlin road in response to
a petition from Carlin folks re-
questing that this inspection be
made.
Not only is Commissioner Peck a
tirst-class county officer but he has
a hobby, and a profitable one
too. He is a horse fancier, and
breeder Of fine horses that are sec
ond to none in the county. The
horses are raised on Mr.. Peck's 500
acre ranch known far and near as
"Peck's Park" Using the word
PARK" in its the original meaning
of Paradise, we come nearer the
truth in describing this beautiful
and fertile spot.
Here we find tall trees growing
from rs to 100 feet in height.
They include Lombardy popular,
locust, cottonwood and other var
ieties. Fruit is successfully grown
by Mr. Peck. He has 100 fruit trees,
apples, plums and pears. that bear
good crops each year. Remember
this is 100 miles north of Elko.
This ranch for its size has no equal
in the state. On a tract Of 9 acres,
over 40 tons of timothy and clover
hay has been raised. MIR Peck
raises all kind of vegetables, and
in the fall of 1904 he sent the
Reno Chamber of Commerce a pota.
to weighing 5 pounds 2 ounces.
The Reno folks have never recover
ed from the shock that Mr. Peck's pet
"spud" gave them.
His pride. however. is not pota-
toes but fine horses, one of which

FRISCO OFFICIALS
HOLD CONFERENCE
Hutchinson, Smith. Fitzgerald and
Jackson Gather Here-Will Not
Discuss Their Visit

Several Frisco line officials yesterday
held conference, the purpose of which
was not disclosed. All during the day
J. E. Hutchinson, general superintendent;
c. J.. Smith, chief special agent; d. e..
Fitzgerald, assistant general superintend-
ent of motive power, and J. H. jack
son, superintendent of the southeastern
division, were closeted at the company
headquarters in the American Trust build
! ing.
The officials would not intimate to the
other employees and officials what the
conference was about. The officials were
unwilling even to discuss their visit, pre-
ferring to comment upon the very heated
spell over the country. The officials re-
ceived several local industrial men dur
ing the day and last night left for Mem
phis in their private car. 1t is gathered
that the conference was in regard to the
general situation without any special ref
erence to this particular division.
