ROBERT B. HUNTER

Candidates for county Offices are
making theiF wishes known through
our columns. The last to place his
name before the public is Robert B.
Hunter, who aspires to the office of
county clerk. He was born and
raised in Elko and is known to
everybody as an industrious, sober
young man.
His qualifications for the office
are first class. He is a graduate of
Heald's Business college in San
francisco and is we'll grounded in
the principles Of bookkeeping. For
the last three years, he has been a
deputy in the recorders office aud
has faithfully performed his duties.
This experience will greatly assist
him in performing the ddties of
county clerk.
Robert B. Hunter comes from
democratic stock and as a democrat
he asks the support of hts party at
the primarv election. If he wins
he will dn his best to heat his re-
publican opponent at the November
election.
We heartily recommend Robert
B. Hunter to the earnest considera-
lion of the democratic voters Of
Elko county.

SEN. him to jail for thre. n.atb..

- s
The supreme court of the United
States rendered decision yester-
day in which the inters,at. COM
merce commission was sustained 10
establishing zone rates. This
effectively Knocks out the outrag-
eous back haul charge Of the rail-
roads. If we mistake not. Elko
was made the center of a zone by
the commission. This is a hig VIC
tory for the inter-mountain states.
IT the rates established by the inter-
state commerce commission are put
into effect. Nevada will be released
from C%aliforpia's grip and her
people will be freed from the greed
of the railroad companies. Let the
good day come quickly.

GEORGE ". COTANT

The office of constable is one of
vast importance to the people of
Elko. The town is growing fast
and being situated as it is upon two
trans-continental railroads it is
bound to be the stopping PLACE of
the human tlotsam that passes back
and forth on the railIoa S.
1t needs a man for that office
that is attentive and faithful in
the performance of it's duties.
Such a man George W. Cotant has
proven himself to be. AS deputy
under Constable Ouderkirk he care
fully guarded the town at night
and never failed in the full per-
formance of his duties. He has
held the position of night jailer for
several months and has made good.
He tells the voters of Elko today
that he is a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for constable
of Elko township. His party
record and his record as deputy
constable should recommend him
to the careful consideration of re-
publican voters at the primary cleo
ton. If nominated, he will do his
best to win at the general election.
If successful in the race, he
promises efficient service.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be Cured

by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused from the in1amed condition
OF the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
indamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless inhamma-
tim can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine vases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness caus-
ed by catarrh that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars free.

49, a-e--a- =h -k-rFn
Returning from . critical inspec-
ton Vt one of the trunk lines of
railroad in the West a member Of
the party describes conditions
which are not only unusual. but in
some respects, occur for the first
time. The thousands. of miles of
track were found in excellent phys
zeal condition, but this vast ma
chine Of traffic was almost at a
standstill. Twu-thirds Of all its
locomotives were cold and dead,
securely stored in lifeless round
houses. This motive power is not
in need of repairs. On the con-
trary, it is ready to go into action
the moment stenm is raised. In the
repair shops are hundreds of idle
machines with tons of tools all in
perfect condition and order, but
silent because they are not needed.
Out in the freight yards are miles
of switch tracks susting for want
of that wesr which Keeps them
bright: On the main lines a freight
train moves only a. intervals of
many hours. A giant sleeping on
his arms.
Within the stores, in towns along
the line, the shelves are depleted
and stocks at lowest ebb. Empty
boxes fill otherwise vacant places
and suggest merchandise which is
not there. Only the smallest
orders, barely sufficient to meet the
customers wants from day to day
are handle by commercial travel
ers.
Yet, we are neither in the midst
of a panic, nor crop failure, nor
war-not at this writing.
What is true of the railroad sys-
tenn mentioned, and it's towns is a
fair picture in many parts of the
country.
This condition, dark as it ap-
pears, is far from being chronic
and is not without its compensa-
ton. 1t indicates a returning
spirit of thrift from which every.
body had departed of late. Better
empty boxes ON the shelves than
bills long past due which cannot
be paid, and over consecutive bust
ness rather than wild imitation.
Moreover, the near future is full of
promise. No such bountiful CROPS
have ever E:tmised as this year.
The tariff and the currency bill
however they may result. are at
least settled. Even war with Mex
eco would furnish great stimulus to
many lines of industry, and the
banks r full Of money which is 10
a condition of "waichful waiting"
This country is so big and has SO
many avenues of production that it
cannot he held back much longer.
People everywhere are not despond-
ent, but confident. and when the
tide turns, as it is bound to do
soon, all signs point to a business
and industrial activity which will
come with the force Of a tidal
wave.
The giant has been sleeping on
his arms, but there are signs of
awakening; and when he Dies, re.
freshed and %inviRorated by repose,
he will prove his strength and
gladden. the hearts of men.-H. H..

PLANETS 90 NOT
INFLUENCE WEATHER

a correspondent of the Weekly
News Letter published by the de-
partment of agriculture writes to
ask,the editors opinion as to " heth-
er the positions Of the moon and
planets have any influence On the
weather on the earth and in reply
the editor says:
"A few people strongly assert
that they dn, while many others,
like u correspondent, have their
doubts, but are willing to be
shown. Those however. who have
given the subject careful attention
are positive that noDe of the plan
cts, nor ever the moon, ever has
any appreciahle effect on the
weather.
AS a matter OF fact, all wealth.
er changes depend ultimately upon
temporal ire differences. The tenn
perature, as we know, constitutes
OF itself a most important weather
factor. Another and equally i'm
oortan! weather factor is rainfall.
But to obtain rain ii is necessary
first to eVaporate water from the
surface of the earth, and this as
everyone knows, requires heat
Still another important weather
factor is the direction and force of
the wind, and this, too, requires
heat for the winds will not blow
unless the temperature is different
at one place from what it is at an
other any more than the air will
draw up a chimney when there is
no fire In it.
Since then the heating of differ
ent parts of the earth and it's at nos-
phere to different temperatures is
the real cause Of the winds and of
all weather changes, it follows that
the moon and planets can affect
The weather only so far that they
supply heat.
"Now, according to accurate
measurements made with the most
delicate instruments, the amount of
heat sent to the earth by all the
planets and also by the moon is in
significant in comparison to the,
amount that comes from the sun.
Hence we could not expect either
the planets or the moon %appreciabIy
to affect the weather. They do
not supply enough heat, the n
thing that causes all our weather
changes.
ITO most people the above rea-
scning may see quite sufficient and
conclusive, but there is still n
other and entirely different method
of testing the whole question. We
ran observe the positions of planets
and the kind of weather during
each position and see whether the
same sort Of weather ALWAYS comes
when the planets are in the same
position. This kind of examination
has often been made, both for the
planets and for the moon, hut not
the slightest influence of either up
nn our weather has ever been
found.
ITO sum up: We have every
reason TO believe that neither the
planets o the moon can have
any appreciably effect on the
weather, because they furnish no
little heat upon which all weather
changes ultimately depend, and this
relief is fully supported by weather
records.
1.-THE belief, still to be found in
all countries that the planets and
the moon do affect the weather
never had any scientific basis
whatever; it is only a remnant of
the many superstitions generated
and fosteved by that other and
greater superstition, astrology"
