]. c.. HARRIS

County politics r beginning to
boom and candidates are telling the
people what they want. Joe Harris,
our present popular sheriff, wants
the democratic voters of the county
to know that he is in the field again
and seeks their support at the pri-
mary election.
Sheriff Harris is O serving his
second term. His record as an
officer and as a citizen is known to
all. On that record he asks the
democratic voters for their support
at the PRIMARY election. If nomi-
mated, his campaign for re-electiun
will be made on his record as an
off ciaI.
Having known Joe Harris from
boyhood and watched his course
as a county official, we cheerfully
commend him to the consideration
of the democratic voters at the
September primary. His past
record is a sure guarantee that if
nominated and elected El8o county
will have a fearless, faithful sheriff
for the term beginning next Jsnu,
airy. Don't forget him when max.
ing up your primary ticket.

A SOUND SLEEPER

An Orovllle, CAL, dispatch of the

The long distance record for
sleeping in California is believed to
be established by a passenger on the
westbound Western Pacific train
which reached Oroville Saturday
The mar slept all The way from
Elko, New, to San Francisco, a dis
lance of 685 miles. The man got
on the train at Salt Lake City and
was taking two tatlespoonfuls of q
sleeping potion every two hours
in an effort to induce sleep. The
cotton did not produce the desired
results, and he placed the bottle to
his lips and drank its entire con-
tents. He fell into a heavy slumber
and trainmen and passengers fear
ed he might die. DR.. F. A. Kussel,
the railroad physician at Oroville
a called 70 meet the train and
partially aroused the sleeping man.
He gave the conductor a drug to
give him between Orovilfe aud San
Francisco to bring him out of his

{. P. CARV|LLE

E. P. Carville throws his hat in
the ring for a denomination to the
office of district attorney of Elko
county. He was elected in 1912
as a democrat and he asks his party
for their support again at the
September primary election.
Ted" Carville, as everybody
calls him is one of the m ost popular
young men in Elko county. His
home life is clean and there is no
stain upon his record as an official.
Since he has been district attorney,
the duties Of the office have bean
faithfully and honestly performed.
He stands upon his record and asks
for its endorsement by his party.
If successful at the primary cleo.
tion, he will make a vigorous fight
for success at the November cleo
tion. If he wins, he will give the
people of Elko county the very best
service as district attorney. He has
proved faithful in the psst and we
ask for him the sincere considera.
tion Of the democratic voters at the
primary election.

Recent developments indicate
that eastern promoters have found
Elko county a fruitful field to ex-
plot their schemes. Within a year
or two, several thousand dollars
have been invested in stock of

these promoters do the most of
their work among the farmers. The
chances are that those who invest
in these patent right schemes will
never see their money again.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Re 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 inflamed 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 inf1amma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
