the league during the six years Of fts
existence and urged upon the delegates
the importance of putting forth great
er efforts in the future. There is great
er need for unity of action among the
Negroes today than ever before in the
history Of the race since the war, said
Mr.. Bray. Hostile forces are pressing
US backward. We must check this, and
there is only one way to do 1t, and that
is through organization.
Every loyal colored man in the coun-
ty should be an active member of the
Westchester Negro league. he conttn-
ued. 1t is indeed very encouraging to
note that we have enlisted in our cause
before the country such eminent and
influential persons as Hon. Oswald Gar
rison Willard. publisher of the New
York Evening Post; Hon. Thomas Ew-
ing. Jr., who is the present United
States commissioner of patents; Mrs.
La Toilette. wife of the Wisconsin sem
ator; Senator Moses Clapp of Minneso-
ta and Senator Wesley L. Jones of
Washington.
Among the many important matters
that comma nded the attention of the
convention was plan for the organ
ization of woman's auxiliary to the
league, which was proposed and ex.
planned by Mr.. Harvey of Mount Yer
non. The members took up the plan
with enthusiasm and unanimously
adopted it.
Mr.. Stephen A, Bennett of Yonkers
offered a resolution which cited the
alarming and acute conditions con-
fronting the Negro in the country. 1t
emphasized the need for united eff
fort on the part of every Negro in
Westchester county. The work being
done by the National Association For
the Advancement Of Colored People
was specially commended.
The officers are: Paul Il. Bray, Yon-
kers. president: A. b. Young, Ossi-
ming. vice president; Chris Pryor. White
Plains. corresponding secretary; Regi-
nald Allen, Yonkers. recording secre-
urer; Howard Van Norden. Port Ches-
ter. sergeant-at-arms. The selection
of the county executive committee was
deferred in order to give the president
time to consult the wishes of the mem
bers in the locality from which the
committeeman are to be appointed.
Brief and interesting speeches for
the good Of the league were made BY

4 TRIBUTE TO
EN- EFT BOYLE

A friend who knows, pays the fol.
lowing tribute to Emmett d. Boyle,
Democratic candidate for Governor:
"Ilc has not the form of briilinncy
that lie attempts TO flash in public,
but those who have come In contact
with him realize the great value OF
his intellect. lie represents the finest
formation OF information In regard to
state matters that any man can pos.
Ribly possess; he has the finest com.
bination OF information In regard to
mining and irrigation, without any OK.
ccption. he understands tho tax qucs.
ton better than any other man In
this state, and / believe that ! proph.
ccy correctly when | sny that under
the administrator Of Emmett II. Boyle
this state will advance more within
a period of four years than II would
probably advance In twelve years un,
der tho administration Of any other
man"
Weekly independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1887-1914, 1914-11-06

and this arrangement will have a
great effect in keeping the High
School boys in practice for the big
games to come later on Tomorrow
at 1 y. m, the Freshmen will play
the Grammar School team Everyone
in the school seems to have entered
II spirit OF athletics and the teach
er5 say 1t Is showing its good effect
in the classroom. The girls are prac-
ticinG hard too for the basket ball
season. Ely High School girls have
challenged them for n game and IL Is
likely that their challenge will be ac-
cepted. 4 game with the Winnemuc-
ca High girls will also doubtless be
arranged. The prospects are good
and the girls are showing great apti-
tude for the game despite the fact
that they are all inexperienced.
Whenever there is any game to be
played or any school event to take
place, it has been arranged to fly the
"E. II. s." flag over the High School
building.

High School
Notes of Interest

The Elko ,!igh School is now round
ing u 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 stud
les. Tennis and basket ball are the
sports in season now and both boys
and girls are taking Il great interest
In both games.
Their are IL boys and 6 girls talk.
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 II all
the time. a greater stlmulcnt 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" SO per
cent In any study. The new rule Is
having a fine effect in scholarship
and is proving TO be n great success.
AZ present there are 10 boys trying
for tho basketball team and stiff prac-
ticc Is engaged in every afternoon at
the court near the Elko Lumber
Yards. Tho prospects are fine for one
of tho best team which ever represent
cd 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 10 play u town team

NEVADA A O

Compiled from issues OF Nevada

one OF the greatest states in the
Union. not only in area, but in the
extent OF its agricultural
Put Nevada On the Atlantic cosat and
1t would fill the space from central
pennsylvania TO Georgia, and from
Delaware bay to Ohio. Its grazing
lands, un%appropiated by the United
States, are estimated at 100000
acres. If but a fraction of this acre
Z can be irrigated the area is vel
great enough and the soil rich
enough to support a considerable
population. To many who think of
Nevada as 4 whole plateau. a region
OF barren s%agebrush mountains, It
may be a surprise TO know that II is
literally n land of valleys. The re-
ports OF the geological survey speak
OF the plateau as traversed by ranges
OF mountains parallelcd b. long,
wide valleys" and there are a sur.

a glance at the map will show at

square miles TO 4OO-evcn TO 500
square miles. More than a dozen ey.
coed 200 square miles each. Allow

lessiy dry or otherwise undesirable.
there are easily $500, 900 acres of val
ley soil here which are at once fer.
tile. reclaimed or. rcclaimable, and
beautiful for situation. Many OF the
s!eltering mountains are snow cover
ed, and the green meadows in the
trough OF the valley are striking by
contrast with tn bordering gray sage
lands.
Much Of Nevada is an elevated
plateau, yet so trimmed by mountains
as To allow no outlet for its princi.
pal rivers. The soil is arid, the vege-
tation limited, the air SO extremely
dry that evaporation is very rapid.

and the rainfall slight. These are
conditions which may easily be ex.
aggerated, leaving upon the mind the
impression of great poverty Of agri.
cultural resources. The average
traveller crossing the state for the
hrst time thinks of Nevada as a re-
gion largely barren and worthless
for farms. But this is not the case.
and II the traveller will turn aside
and look for green fields. for square
miles OF alfalfa, for leagues of natu.
raj grass, for herds of fat cattle, and
for gardens and orchards, he will
find them. II he will stocp down and
examine the soil of wide areas called
desert" he will find it rich in the ele.
ments of plant life. The very char
acter OF the %sagebrush will hin the
quality of the soil beneath.
Nor is the country impossibly dry.
Nevada has rivers and streams.
creeks. spring and underground
fountains. and is generally well
watcred. There are four rivers of
|nsidera size, IL more which may
be called important. and II others
which are OF considerable conse-
qucnce. In the southern counties
artes!an wells are adding c~upiously
10 the supply of rivers and springs.
II does not follow because Nevada
is dry Gas TO rainfalD that is not also
productive. Egypt is dry, but the
Valley Of the Nile Is immensely fruit
full. 1t does not follow because all of
Nevada's rivers do not run into the
sea that crops will not grow: thai be-
cause the region is n basin il is a
vast bed of chemical salts, and there
fore barren. II does not follow be-
cause there are wide stretches of des-
ert that the soil Is not rich over other
wide areas. or hat the desert itself
annot literally be made TO blossom
with profitable crops. After the des.
ert comes the garden, and comes in
Nevada as truly as in Egypt.
