the progress of development Some
thing win be doing. This county, for
the first time In her history, Is awake
to the Importance of her undeveIoped

movements that never lapses or goes
backward. The Of the coun-

western movement of population will
enhance land values. 1t is certain
it always has been-it Is more clearly

They will not last forever in this rich
county. Nowhere can the .homeseek-

ter conditions than in this county.
No man enjoys life more or makes
his livelihood more easily or pleas
antly than the man who has a pro-
ductive Elko county farm. He is his
own master and reaps for himself and
family the fruits of his industry. He
is free from the general cares and
worry of business life. Upon him In
a great easur the city folks de-
pend for the necessaries of life. He
Is strong and healthy. sure OF a good
home and lots of money besides. Who
then is happier than a man on an Ell
ko county farm?
The appeal Of Elko county to the
homeseeker is not made solely on a
commercial basis. There is not only n
living to be made but a life to be
lived; and life is more than a living.

be brief, we must forego this pleasure.
However, we will say that Blko
county has been endowed by nature
with wonderful advantages which
make 1t not only an ideal place to live.
but one where thrift and energy are
ever rewarded by prosperity in abund-
ance, and contentraent; and to those
OF less favored chimes who are seek
ing a place to make their homes we
send a kindly greeting and give full
assurance OF a kindly welcome to the
richest, the most prosperous, the best,
