DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by loral applications, as they cam
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the
Eustachiian Tubes. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
1ness is the result. Snd unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be forever
destroyed; nine cases out of ten
arc caused by Catarrn, which is
nothing but an intiamed condition

Tfeasuefof Elko County. Nevada,
is'hereby authorized and directed
to pay the same.
Done at Chambers this 2nd day
of January, A. D. 1912. Ny,
Mark R. Averill
Acting and presiding
District Judge.
Read that order carefully and
you will see that Jugde Curler was
appointed to assist the District
Attorney of Elko Nevada" an
officer that does not exist. and that
it is dated January 2, 1912, a year
before it was made by Judge
Averill. Yet upon this CIDER, W.
Il. Greenhouse the watch dog
of the county treasury" issued q
warrant upon the county treasury
fur $4,000. Was our watch dog
asleep or was he doped with New
Year cheer? The date, of the
order January 2, 1912, is evidently
an error. 1t should he January 2,
1913, but Judge Averill was not in
Elko on that day, having left for
Tonopah on the afternoon of Jan
uary LIST. Consequently he could
not have made and signed the order
on January end. Does the above
disclose any tricks resorted to by
attorneys to get their hands in the
taxpayers pockets? Why was
every movement in this raid on the
treasury made in secret? Why
was everything done in chambers?
If honest aud square. why were
not the various orders made in
open court and placed upon the
record? These questions our
readers must answer for them
selves.
We are advised by competent
! attorneys that Judge Averil had no
authority under the law to pay B.
F. Curler $4,000, or any other sum,
out of the funds of Elko county.
They. base their judgments on
Section 1897 of the statute defn-
ing the duties Of district attorney
which is found on page 462 of
volume of the revised laws.
That section reads as follows:
Court may appoint, when. If
he fails to attend any session of
the district court. or for any
reason is disqualified from acting in
any matter coming before said
court, the court may appoint some
other person to perform the duties
of district attorney, who shall
receive reasonable compensation,
to be certified by the court and
paid out of the county treasury. If
the district attorney shall wilfulEy
neglect to attend any session of the
district court the amount so paid
shall be deducted by the board of
cunnty commissioners from the
salary allowed to said district
Attorney" -

Oldest Order.

What is the oldest order in ex-
istence? The claim is made for that

cerShip of which has just been con-
ferred by the pope on a member of the
Irish, Nationalist party, Sir Thomas
Grattan Esmond. 1t appears that no
date or the name of founder can be
assigned to the Order of the Holy
Sepulchre, though there is a legendary
tradition that traces it's origin to the
time of Charlemagne. In the middle
of the last century, however, when
the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem
was reestablished, the Office of grand
master of the order was transferred to
1t by Pope Plus the Ninth, who many
years later, in 1888. created by stat

THAT $4,000 FEE

The old saying that there. arc
tricks in all trades. even in the
legal profession. has again been
proven in the history IF the $4,000
fee allowed Attorney b. F. Curler
by Judge Averill in the Primeaux
arson case.
From the records it appears
that on the 18th day of November,
1912. the day the trial begun,
on motion of District
Attorney Dysart Judge Curler was
entered as attorney of record in
the case to assist the prosecution.
This is the usual proceedings
where attorneys not of record are
authorized to take part in the trial
Of case. This motion did not
employ Judge Curler as special
counsel and carried no obligation
with it. This was done in open
court and can be found at page
556 of volume 10 of the district
Court records. This action was open
and above board, but on the same
day in chambers. without the
knowl -dge or consent of
District Attorney. Dysart Judge
AverIll made an order appointing
Jugde Curler special counsel in the
case. This order is not on the re-
cords of the trial but is tiled,among
the papers of the case. 1t will be
found as quotation further a.
long in this narrative.
Nothing more is known of this
matter by the public until a
warrant for $4,000 is paid by the
countyt treasurer upon warrant
issued by Auditor Greenhouse on
January 2, 1918, on the following
order made in chambers by Judge
Averill on the same day. That
order does not appear on the
records of the district court.
Omitting the title of the court and
case, the order is as follows:
Whereas, on the 18th day of
November, A. d. 1912, in the
above entitled case, the Court
made the following order:
1T appearing to the satisfaction
Of the Court that the Importance
of the above entitled case and the
character thereof is such that it is

the Court that B. F. Curler be and

BOURNE HAS PLAN
TO IMPROVE ROADS
Suggests Expenditure of $1,000, O00,-
600 by States and Federal
Government.

Expenditures of three billion dol
lars by the government and the several
States for highways improvements is at
first thought a startling proposition,
even though the expenditure be dis
tributed over a period Of fifty years,
of the interests affected, it will be seen
to be a wise investment" said Jona-
than Bourne. jr. yesterday in discuss
ing plan for road improvement which
he has submitted to the joint commit
tee on Federal aid in the construction
of post roads.
There are in the United States some
500. 100000 acres Of farms worth about
S39, 900 .000,00 There are some 2200O,-
600 working horses and mules on these
farms, costing annually for feed and
keep about SLIGO, 100000. With good
roads will come substitution Of trac-
ton for horse power with a probable
saving Of a billion a year.
MY plan contemplates the expendi-
ture Of $1,000. 100000 for road construc-
ton and s40.000,000 a year for fifty
years for maintenance by the govern
ment and the States. making a total
of s3,00O,0o0,000 in fifty years. If the
expenditure for construction increased
the value of the.farms only 3 per cent
the owners would get back immediate
ly in property values more than the
amount Of the investment.
AS plain business proposition. ex-
penditures on road construction and
maintenance offer larger returns on
the investment than anything else of
which ] am aware. In my opinion,
roads are of far greater economic and
social Importance than pending tariff
and currency legislation combined"

japanese Question
May Be Settled
In Federal Courts

Fresh hope that Mr.. Bryan will be
able to bring about an amelioration of
the proposed anti-Japanese legislation in
California was inspired in official circles
here upon the receipt Of a telegram
from the Secretary Of State yesterday
saying that he was going to stick 1t
out at Sacramento until the Legislature
had rendered its final decision on the
matter at issue.
The Presidents telegram of warning
to Gov. Johnson that the Webb bill
is likely to involve the Federal gov
eminent in delicate litigation has made
1t clear that Mr.. Wilson expects to see
the issue thrashed out in the courts
unless the Califorians give up their de-
termination to legislate against the
Japanese. Opinion in Washington is that
unless the California Legislature desists
the United States must face a trying
and prolonged period of discussion OF
the whole issue before the Federal
courts.
Such a variety Of constructions Of the
Webb law in connection with the treaty
have made their appearance here that
it is now believed the controversy will
resolve itself into a legal struggle, in
the event that an anti-Japanese bill Is
finally passed. At this stage no longer
ing from the agitation. Though the
throwing of the whole matter into the
courts would be disagreeable to the Fed
eral government, as a procedure, neces-
stating the discussion Of delicate ques-
lions, still, this outcome is regarded as
a possibility far less Objectionable than
more drastic methods of settlement,
which have been the subject OF popular
discussion in Tokyo. 1t is generally &C
cepted that the United States has lost
a friend through the activities of the
Legislature of the State Of California,
but now it is hoped that the issue will
finally be settled without even any at
tempt at trade reprisals upon the part
of the japanese.
Two courses are open to the Japanese
If they choose to resort to legal meas
ures for defeating the attempts of the
to legislate them OF the
land Of that State. The California law
might be attacked in the courts as con-
trary to the treaty, or the Japanese
might seek to establish their right to
citizenship under the United States law.
Either method would make it unneces-
sary for the Japanese government to
appear actively in the matter, as action
could most conveniently be- brought by
an individual Japanese resident in the
State of California.

THE AGE OF
PREvENTI0
Nipping Trouble in the Bud by
Simple Precaution.

The application of the principle Of
prevention in medicine embraces the
more general use Of antiseptic agents
as a mouth wash or gargle and in ap-
plication to cuts, wound, scalds, and
burns.
The prevention of disease is much
simpler and certainly more easy of ac-
complishment than is its cure. little
scratch or cut, simple sore throat,
slight ache the bite of mosquito or
gnat; insignificant irritations Of the mo-
ment But the evils which result from
these slight causes form a CHASTITY most
Of horrifying magnitude.
The commonest causes of disease and
death enter our systems through just
such infinitesimaf mediums as the mos
quito bite. which has filled more graves
than were ever dug after battle.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson says: TT Is
really an excellent thing to be thin
skinned. Whenever you feel a scratch
or prick or insect bite, wash the In
jured part at once with some good an
tiseptic solution scratches ana
flea bites should be treated with any
thing but contempt.
In line with this thought, we have
carefully compounded LISTOGEN and
we urge you TO accept our earnest
statement that in the prevention OF
infectious disease, in the relief of sore
throat and minor ailments Of the nose,
ear, or skin; in the care OF the teeth
or nails; as a deodorant or disinfec-
tant, LISTOGEN is the superior OF any
preparation Of a SIMILAR character.
