Demand for dustless collection Of
ashes by the city was repeated yester-
day by sanitary engineers and other
persons. There IL q widespread feeling
throughout the city that something should
be done to improve the system of collect
Ing and disposing Of ashes.
Visits to different parts OF the city and
photographs that have been taken by ex,
perts studying the question revealed the
annoyance OF the present method OF
handling ashes. The wind catches the
ashes In tho open cans and hurls
about the street and into the eyes Of
men and women. When the cans are
dumped into the open wagons the same
thing occurs again. not only causing
great discomfort. but Irritating the nose
and throat and making those organs
more susceptible to disease of various
kinds.

ablest consulting engineers In the city.

1T Tu, Black!

The following editorial recently ap.
peared in the columns of the Chur-
chill County Standard, published at
Fallon:
IF the new men on the Elko indie
pendent needed money they should
have tried some method besides
trying to hold UP the candidates of
their party. No paper can have in
fiuence even at home If it has to be
paid for its support of the party to
which 1t processes to belong. If the
dificulty is not financial then they
should state frankly why they are not
supporting the entire democratic tick

Denial Unnecessary

Emmett Boyle need not put himself
to the trouble of denying the allega-
tons to Governor eddie with refer
ence to the state prison contract mat
ter until the governor draws a spec
tfc indictment. The public is familiar
with the record of the state prison
matter and if there has been any at
tempt on the part of Boyle to foist
an expenditure Of $355,000 and the
state this is the first time the pub
lie has ever heard of the matter. Let
us have some of the details and let us
have an explanation why Governor
Oddie's story is at variance with the
records printed and published not
only at the time but in the annual re-
ports Of the officers.
A state engineers duty, as every
body knows, is to draw plans and
make estimates on public institutions
when he Is ordered to do so by the
proper officers. He does not origin
ate an appropriation nor can he in
cur the expenditure of public funds
for the building Of a public institu-
ton. That the state got out Of a bad

readers OF the Independent as follows:
Four years ago, Black supported
Senator Nixon for the senate. He
also supported Oddie four years ago
and only two years ago he switched
back to the democratic ranks and sup
ported Senator Pittman. Again, about
a year ago he was taking raps at
Newlands, whom he is now support
ing. He claims to be supporting all
the democratic candidates with the
exception of Bray. II Brother Black
wishes to criticise the honest efforts
OF my newspaper along the lines of
good journalism, let him remember
that the Independent has never been
q wishy-washy sheet like the so-called
newspaper he edits, but has always
had one policy and has adhered to
1t in spite of the criticism OF a few
embryo sheets like the STANDARD.

contract is due to the fact that the
contract was defective and to no
other reason. If the contract did not
have a flaw in it and if the procedure
could not have been invalidated, the
company having the contract could
have enforced it.
1t is remarkable to hear of the
prowess of the governor in repress-
ing other officials in the perform.
anc of their, duties. Possibly Governor
Oddie also controlled to a like ex-
tent the activities of the present state
engineer, William Kearney, in setting
himself up as a judge with power to
put ranchers Of the Humboldt valley
in jail if they did not attend on his
court" and with power to enter de-
crees absolutely divesting ranchers of
titles o by early vigilance, appro-
priation and use.
Possibly Governor Oddie exercised
a like control over that extremely pri-
vate publicity agent of the state,
Charles Norcross, who draws his sal
