CALIFORNIA IS shaker
BY AN EARTHQUAKE
BIG DEAL IN ELKO
7. REAL ESTATE

Real estate has been on the move
In Elko recently, and some important
transfers have been made. Besides
the purchase recently made by A. J..
Simcox of the lots just west of the
Mayer Hotel, where he intends to
erect so by 100 brick garage, Geo
Russell, Sr., and Frank Fernald have
made important purchases. Mr. Rus
sell recently purchased from w. T.
Smith the lots and building occupied
by the w. T. Smith Co. Included in
this transfer are nine lots together
with the buildings. Three lots face
Main street and six face Silver street
Centrally located as it is in the heart
of Elko's business district, this is one
of the most valuable properties in
town. The consideration has not been
made public.
On the west end of Main street,
six lots known as the Dorsey lots and
until recently owned by Hayden Hen
derson and George Hunter, have been
purchased by Messrs. George Russell
and Frank Fernald. These lots are
an ideal location for a business place.
They face east on Main street, and
while they have not been used since
the Dorsey stables burned down years
ago, the growth that the town has
enjoyed during the past several years
has greatly enhanced their value.
Such transfers of property augurs
well for the town. 1t is an express
sion of confidence by men who have
money to invest for they see future
rosy with promise.

Reviewing the fight the states and
the department of agriculture are

unless the trouble could be localized
and quickly eradicated, it threatened
untold losses among live stock.
veterinary authorities of the Uni
ted States" he said, "are agreed that
the only method of combating the
trouble is to stop all movement of
stock and material and to kill all
herds in which the trouble has gain
ed foothold. .~.
."The federal and state inspectors
are now tracing up through bills of
lading and railroad records all ship
ments of live cattle which had been
made within the last so days out of
any of the affected or suspected dis
tricts. The herds so located are ex-
amined by veterinarians. At present
the chief danger lies in the possibil-
ity of their being concealed, when
they would be the source of further
infection" .-

FORT HALLECK
MIKES BALLOTS

The commissioners were unable to
complete the canvass of the official
returns today on account of a mistake
in filling out the papers of the Ft.
Ialleck precinct. The officers at that
precinct used the talley sheet for the
rejected ballots instead of the regu-
lar sheet provided for that purpose
and as a result, all the ballots were
returned as rejected. The commits
sioners referred the matter to District
Attorney Carville and he advised
them to send the ballots back to Ft.
Halleck for certification. Acting on
this advice, Commissioner Peck and
Road Supervisor. Short left for FIT.

lot box and all the papers for that
purpose. They will return tomorrow

RECEPTION
TO ELKO PASTOR

The public reception rendered Rev.
and Mrs. ]. NJ. Swander at the Pres
byterian church Monday evening was

Rev. Swander and wife left Thurs

services. Mr. -Swander had large
territory to cover, taking in all of

age Is Reported To Have
. Resulted ..

A week Of exceptionally warm, clear
weather at Frisco was followed last
night by an almost imperceptable
earthquake. .... .....
The disturbance was felt in the
trans-bay region, including Oakland,
Alameda and Berkeley, and at SaR
Jose, fifty miles down the peninsula.
No damage was reported
An unconfirmed report from Rock
away Beach. about ten miles south
west from San Francico, says that
two Greek laborers in stone quarry
there were killed in a rock slide and
the adjacent rock crushing plant top
pied over. a-s
According to Professor Charles
Buckhalter, in charge of the Chapot
observatory of the University of Cali
fornia. at Berkeley, the disturbance
was local in character and was what
is known as number four earth
quake, which is a very minor one.
The University of California sizes
mograph recorded the shock to have
ueSuH at o 'o4 81 pm, continuing six
seconds. It's direction indicates from
northwest to southwest.
ut is quite possible that the ex-
listing activity of Vesuvius was re-
sponsible for the slight tremor felt
in California" said the Rev. ]. S.
Ricard, director of the observatory of
Santa Clara college tonight.
''It Is almost a general rule that
when VOLCANOES are in eruption, earth
quakes are felt at points on the earth's
surface Numerically opposed to the
center of disturbance"
A slow, vibrating earthquake rat
tied windows in Los Anglese early
yesterday An accompanying report
caused several watchment to tele-
phone that safes had been blown.
Doors in lightly constructed buildings
were sprung open, and bric-a-brac
toppled over. No damage was report.

convey the idea that he is combating
the statement Of an editorial in the

cause Of the late row in the Central

As matter Of fact. Mr.. Standfsr
devotes the real substance Of his inter-

II the real question before the Cen
trail Labor union vas the comparative
standing IS union labor men of Mr.
Standish and Mr. Walker. one might re-
ply that Mr. Standish has had only a
lew years experience with union labor:
that president Samuel GOmpers has re-
Voked his commission as a voluntary
organizer OF the American Federation
