stockman's needs and abilities. In
his private and his public work he
has been used in making plans that
meant the disposition of large
amounts and the handling of large
and varied intAEnhea The work pro-
voked study and care. It was work
that stood to judge him afterwards.
He is the embodiment of method and
the personif1cation of system. Public
Office has been and will be for him an
exalted business. 1t is a Job to be
done so that it will check up and
measure up at any stage of the game.
The ability of Boyle for public Of
nee has been amply demonstrated by
his past private and public employ
ment. He can get a character
from any job he ever undertook. His
work stands as a guarantee.
Emmett Boyle is no new and I'M
Iiieu seeker Ior pubic favor. He is a
known quantity as to character and
ability and the record commends him
IN both departments. In the political
sphere he has not dabbled much and
is therefore free to a remarkable ex-
tent from that numbing influence
created by the entanglements of poll
tics. He is an expert and a business
man in politics; not one of these too
frequent specimens whose business
is ever politics and whose politics is
never business.
If there was ever a time Nevada
needed a competent, working COVER
nor that time is now and that need is
provided for in the candidacy of EN-

EhO High School
Notes of Interest

The Elko -Iigh School is now round
Ing out the second month of this term
and both pupils and teachers are
thoroughly settled for the years. rou-
tine. At present school athletics is
taking all the spare time of the pupils
when not engaged in classroom stuu-
les. Tennis and basket ball are tie
sports in season now and both bo-c
and girls are taking a great interest
in both games.
There are IL boys and 6 girls TAX
ing an active interest in tennis and
some sharks are being developed
rapidly. The new court Is a beauty,
made of natural concrete and is in
fine shape. The boys and girls of
the High school are showing their
appreciation of the addition to their
sports too, and can be seen on it all
the time. A greater stimulent for
scholarship has been set out by the
officials of the school by placing a
scholarship ban on all athletics. No
pupil is allowed to take part in any
game who falls below a "B" 83 per
cent in any study. The new rule is
having a fine effect in scholarship
and is proving to be great success.
At present there are 16 boys trying
for the basketball team and stiff prac-
tice is engaged in every afternoon at
the court near the Elko Lumber
Yards. The prospects are fine for one
of the best team which ever represent
ed the High School. No games have
been definitely scheduled as yet but
there are several games hanging fire
and no doubt will be booked before
long. Arrangements have been made
for the team to play a town team
twice week as matter of practice

arranged. The prospects are good
and the girls are showing great apti-

.ELKO ENJOYING
BUILDING BOON

Elko is on a boom. That fact is
evident by the fact that there are
new business houses going up in this
city to such a great extent. In the
last few months the Gloden Rule Mer-
camille company have erected a hand
some new store, the Title Guaranty
company are just finishing their new
Office building and the Hotel Mayer
already one of the best appointed
and most spacious hostelries in the
state, are preparing to build an ad-
dition to their building which will
give them an additional housing ca
pacity. of about 20 rooms. There has
been a persistent rumor going the
rounds also, that there is a move
ment on foot to build a new theatre
in the city which will give opera low
ers a chance to see good dramas, etc.,
at regular intervals. The fact that
these people are putting money into
these enterprises is ample evidence
that the growth of Elko is solid,
subtantial one and one which will
continue to grow larger as the time
passes.

.EMMET D. BOYLE
SICK At RENO

Emmett D. Boyle, democratic can
didate for governor, Leonard B. Fow-
ler candidate for congress, and other
state candidates of the party will
make their first appearance in Reno
during this campaign at rally to be
held in the Majestic theater tonight,
commencing at eight o'clock
The other candidates are Ben w.
Coleman, candidate for justice of the
supreme court, Ed Malley for state
treasurer, John Edwards Bray for su-
perintendent of public instruction,
and Joe Farnsworth for state printer.
Emmett Boyle arrived in Reno yes
terday morning thoroughly exhausted
by the strenuous campaign and last
night it was announced that he was a
sick man. Former Governor d. S.
Dickerson said that Boyle had been
in bed all day and he feared he would
not be able to go into the issues of the
campaign as energetically as he had
planned. He said Boyle would appear
if possible, but he could not say how
long he would be able to speak.
Grave concern for Boyle's condition
was also expressed by S. NJ. Pickett,
chairman of the executive committee.
1t is expected If Boyle is able he
will enter thoroughly into the state
prison issue and the question of pre-
serving the integrity of the railroad
commission, especially in the light of
recent discIosures.-Journal.

SOMEBODY IS
BEING FOOLED

A story going the rounds of the
state press recalls that In 1854 Grid
ley, an enthusiastic grocer of Austin,
who after winning a sack of -four on
an election wager, gave a sack of
flour to the Sanitary commission then
conducting what would be known to-
day as Red Cross work in the south
ern war camps. This sack of Nevada
flour realized $275,OOO by being pass
ed along from one town to another.
where 1t was offered at auction. The
buyer always donated the sack, back
to the cause and the flour made the
rounds of Nevada and California. So
far so good. But the patriotic people
who have received the -four are TAX
ing advantage of the faith of the aver
age citizen who will not stop to in
quire what kind of -four was equal
to the strain of keeping wholesome
for a period 'of fifty years. The late
report states this flour will be part
OF the semicentinnial of the birth of
the state as the gift of the daughter
and granddaughter of Gridley, who
will present 1t to the Nevada Histor.
ical Society. The editor of the Bo-
nanza would like to have some infor-
nation on the subject. When he was
a boy the Gridley flour was going the
rounds and after every device had
been exhausted to make 1t drawing
card, the contents of the sack were
finally made into biscuits and sold.
This was the last of the famous Grid
ley -four and IL there Is another sack
being palmed Off on the public as the
only genuine one 1t is well to inquire
how the owner came into possession
of the prize and how he or she sue
ceeded in preserving the -four to the
present day. If the biscuits were not
genuine, the citizens of Nevada fifty
years ago were imposed on and IL
they were genuine some one is impos-
ing on the credulity OF the citizens
today.-Tonopah Bonanza.

ADA A BROAD
AND RICH EXPANSE

Compiled from issues of Nevada
Newsletter: Potentially, Nevada is
one of the greatest states in the
Union, not only in area, but in the
extent OF its agricultural resources
Put Nevada on the Atlantic cosat and
1t would fill the space from central
Pennsylvania to Georgia, and from
Delaware bay to Ohio. It's grazing
lands, unappropiated by the United
States, are estimated at 25,0OO.O00
acres. If but fraction of this acre
age can be irrigated the area is yet
great enough and the soil rich
enough to support a considerable
population. To many who think of
Nevada as a whole plateau, a region
OF barren sagebrush mountains, It
may be surprise to know that it is
literally land of valleys. The re.
ports of the geological survey speak
of the plateau as traversed by ranges
of mountains paralleled by 'long,
wide Valleys" and there are a sur
prising number of these in all sec
tions Of the state, perhaps 200 in all.

trough OF the valley are striking by
contrast with tn bordering gray sage

$4,000 BLAST is EX- .r
PLoDE0 AT ELY

Several hundred people OF the dis

sn extra large blast at the southwest
side OF Liberty pit. There would
have been a larger crowd as the un-
derstanding in Ely was the blast
would be fred at one o'clock instead
of which 1t was set off at 1880. The
change in time was caused by the
fact that two sides of the holes could
not be cleaned out and loaded in time
to make the job as big as had been
expected The cost of the blast was
about $4,000.
Twelve holes ranging from 65 to
1875 feet deep, had been drilled back
from. the face of the bank on the
Wesphalla and Liberty claims at an
average distance of 100 feet This
morning these holes were loaded with
$4,000 pounds Of powder, mostly dy-
Mantle, and fred together. The spec.
tators who had expected to be stunned
by the loud noise of the blast were
disappointed, as much smaller a.
mount of powder nearer the surface
would have made great deal more
noise. But faint report of the blast
was heard in Ely at 1887 O'Clock
