DRAB NEWS

Arthur Brooks was bitten by a snake last Monday. He has been very sick and his condition was quite serious for a few days. We hope he will be out again soon.
 A certain young man left this place last week for the West. We think he has a girl out there and we are looking for him to bring her back to Drab some day.
 We are afraid Mir. Wade is going to loose Winton from the way Miss Mag gie was smiling at him last Sunday night.
 Earl Bell has run the rabbits around here till they are as thin as shingle. We don't see how Earl stays fat as he cant catch one to eat.
 Sidney Johnson has quit coming to Drab. Wonder if the sand got to hot for his feet or he don't like Piano music.
 Chas. Hetchler says he is going to wear his new suit the first frost that comes and is going to see Miss Ruby and cut wood for the old man with a hatchet.
 Miss Etta Austin asked us for a remedy to grow the hair on her cat. Rub it with brick three times a day and roll it in hot ashes every half hour till the hair starts. Miss Anna Loe said she was pick ing up chips in place of cleaning around the tree for Henry but we believe she was baking him chicken pie or one for Mir. Cash.
 Bill Austin got excited the other morning and went to the field tc blow without his harness. That's the first time we ever knew Bill to in ( hurry to go to work.

Excerpt from speech of Judge J. M. Thomas at the Good Roads meeting held at the Court House this morning:
 'The day has arrived when there is no way of getting around the proposi- tion of building good roads. If it were just an individual matter would not care whether we built the roads or not. 1 can pull through them ud if you can. l am simply pushing this
 matter as your servant and because believe the time has come when it must b done. You may put me out of business or l may step down and out but another man will rise up and it will be kept going. It is coming because it is necessary for it to come if we keep up with the progress of the times. If there was no other need of good roads, it would justify us to build them so that these farmers can haul their fertilizer to their farms"
 Judge Thomas estimates that 120 miles of good roads can be built in Ne vada county at a total expenditure of $500, 100000. This is cheap. The road from Pine Bluff to Little Rock is only 50 miles long and will cost $350, 100000.

THE PRESIDENTS POWER

Senator Cummins says the Presi- 1 dent has obliterated Congress. Of course, the Senator, when he makes that assertion, must be regarded as a political opponent of the President, and due allowance should be made for the fact that he will not go out of his way to support the administra- tion in any thing but making allow ance for the eXaggeration, what is the reason for the undoubted fact that the President is powerful?
 One perfectly evident reason is that the President is the leader of a dominant political party. If that party is to accomplish anything it must follow leader, and the majority is Loyalty following the President on all party measures. What is inter- preted as the power of the President therefore, has behind it the power of an organized and disciplined party The dominance of the Presidents views is none the less galling to Re- publicans and Progressives because it's strength is really party strength, but it is a very different thing from personal domination It is also a much wholesomer thing, because in the long run the President cannot command the strength of the party without the assent of the voters who make up the party.
 Everyone knows that if the mem- bers of Congress believed the Presi- dent was urging a course contrary to the wishes of the people they would not follow him. Their duty and their political futures would combine to force a different course upon them, and if they could not make the Presi- dent see things their way they would desert him, and the administration would find itself as lonesome as Pres ident Taft was in the last days of his tenure of office.-St. Louis Republic.

Among the reasons advanced why the American farmers son leaves the farm for the city is the fact that his investment and labor on the farm to not bring sufficient returns on the money invested, but another great reason is that there is no form of amusement or intertainment and if he wishes to go where the entertain ment is, the roads are generally so poor that it is not worth while going. The social life of the country is not what it should be and could be with better concentration which is only pos sible with better highways.

A seventy year-old friend of ours married 24-year-old widow few months a go. Now he has blossomed out in a rakishly-cut shepherds plaid suit of clothes and wears a crimson band around his straw hat. "You can smirk all you durn please" he said to us when we met him yesterday, "but I'm only obeying orders-and, gosh whang it, I like it"

ELKO DEFEATS W|NNEMUCCA

The game of baseball between
Winnemucca and Elko Sunday af-
tcrnoon was one of the best ever
seen in Elku. As We were unable
to see the game we give the fol-
lowing report of it by one who saw
it:
Winnemucca's baseball team paid
our city a visit yeste rday afternoon
and aiaised us they here to indulge
in a practice" gama with our
local hoys. Those of US who rad
the pleasure of witnessing the game
are forced to remark that the Win
nemucca boys were obliged to
practice all the arts known in
baseballdom in order to hold their
own with the Elkoites.
The rain clouds that overcast the
sky caused many to forego the
pleasure Of witnessing une of the
most exciting baseball games seen
here for years, when the Elko stand
patters overcame a 5-run lead and
won by the score Of 8 to z.
Owing to the cold, damp day
our RUDE was slow in warming up
and Winnemucca got a runaway
lead of 5 tallys. After the 4th
inning, however, RUDE settled down
and during the rest Of the game
had the "Muckeys" eating from
his hand, as they OILY scored 2 runs
after the 9TH inning.
Watt, pitching for Winnemucca,
started out finch j weakened early
in the gam, and was touched for
z healthy hits, one being a homer
by Bryant which put the game on
ice fur Elko.

To answer a charge Of horse
stealing, RED" Cliff Regain, the
notorious outlaw, who was arrested
last Monday in the Muntezuma dis
trict, twelve miles west Of Gold
field, was this morning taken to
Bishop, Cal, in an automobile by
Constable D. M. Nichol Of Lone
Pine and Deputy Sheriffs Frank
Butler and William Goodale. Sheriff

brief review of his life. The out.
law said he was first sent to prison
when he was fifteen years old, be-
ing incarcerated 10 San Quentin
penitentiary in California, his home
state. Continuing Regain said:
Il got out 500 after being sent
to prison the first time. 1t was not
long until / got into trouble again
and back to prison l went. The
years Of my early life spent in pris-
on made a criminal out of me and

myself when / become possessed of
the desire to steal.
Numerous times I have made
up my mind to lead q good life. l
have gone to work but after about
six months honest living, I have
become restless and hegun to
wander around. When my funds

my thoughts have turned to obtain
