ELkO WILL HAVE BEST
RACE COURSE in STATE

Dirt is flying, and within few
weeks ,Elko will boast of-the best race
course in the state.
The Elko Development company. of
which G. S. Garcia, Joseph Snelson
and Nels Ouderkirk are the leading
spirits, have force of about forty
men at work southeast of town with
a grader, wagons, etc, and the con-
struction of Elko's race track and
fair grounds is we'll under way.
The track will be half a mile in
length. and sixty feet wide. From the
pole TO the center of the track il will
be perfectly level. From the center
to the outside il will be graded or
saucered for the purpose of automo-
biles and motorcycles, as the promot-
ers propose TO bring here some of the
Speedlest drivers in the country as
well as the fastest horses. The out
side of the track will he thirty-six in.
ches higher than the middle, which
will permit of the greatest possible
speed of machines without danger of
skidding.
A grand stand to accommodate two
thousand people will be erected. TO-
gether with bleachers. judges stand.
stalls. etc. In fact everything will be
done to make OF II the best track and
fair ground in the state. The inside
of the track will be laid out in
ball ground. and will also be used for

cations were applied and the matter
was nearly forgotten until last night.
when 1t was announced that several
had been bitten by rabid dogs. Doctor
West was called upon today and he
recommended that the boy be sent to
Reno at once, as the description of the
dog which bit him tallies exactly with
the one which bit the others. He will
be taken to Reno tonight.
DIR. Mack telegraphed DR.. West to-
day that treatment had been started
with Miss Mccain, and that it would
be started on Ivan Hinerman, Frances
Schuylerman and the others immedi-
ately upon their arrival. The treat
ment covers a period of about three
weeks. The doctor also states that a
supply of the medicine which is used
as an injection had been requested
from Washington, where it is com.
pounded by government experts, and
that he will soon have sufficient on
hand to care for all patients. The
treatment is given free of cost. but liy-
ing expenses must be paid by the pat
tents. and children must be accompa-
MED by guardian.

the Rodeo ground. stock shows, etc.
A splendid park has been laid out in
trees, which in few years will add
materially to the beauty of the
grounds. A dance pavilion is also in
cluded in the plans.
The experience of the past three
years with our Annual Rodeo has DEM
onstrated that II is form of amuse.
ment popular with the general public.
and 1t Is proposed TO make this years
Rodeo an event far bigger than ever
held before. In connection with it
there will also be held a county fair
and stock show and already orders
have been placed for more than forty
stalls for blooded animals. A num-
ber have also signified their intention
to bring in fast horses, and this COM
blned fair and Rodeo promises to be
an attraction which will attract visi-
tors from all parts of the state.
The enterprise shown by the pro.
moters of the Elko Development Com
pany is most commendable. They
have started an enterprise which will
cost them many thousands of dollars,
but that il will prove profitable in
vestment is not doubted. for the Elko
Rodeo will in a few years rival the
Pendleton Roundup, which yearly at.
tracts thousands of visitors from all
parts of the west.

The following article from the Hum

of the fact that VIM. Doyle and 9th.

who are benefited by the decision:
The case of Guy Davis ct al, vs. 10.
Seph Ralph. representing the Glasgow

as the Copper canyon placer mining

Federal court at Carson in favor of
the plaintiffs. Irrespective of the legal
aspects of the case, the decision is a
popular one and II is believed II means
much for the development of the Bat.

property involved is situated
The case occupied the attention of

Ten days and the testimony of a
large number of witnesses was heard.
the principal contention of the defense
being that the defendant had relin.

The defendants have twenty days to

If they so desire, and failing in this

Two more have been added to the
list of those reported bitten by the
dog which was sent to DR.. Mack. state
veterinary and bacteriologist, last Sun
day, and which was pronounced by
him to be infected with typical case
of rabies.
When Professor Thomas of the Elko
County High School learned that Miss
LalIe Mccain had been bitten by a
rabid dog, he recalled that he had
been bitten by a dog two days previ-
GUS, and upon investigation he found
that the dog which had bitten him was
undoubtedly the same one that had
bitten Miss Mccain. When the animal
bit him he paid but little attention to
it, as the wound produced was only
slight. Yesterday afternoon he con-
suited a physician and upon the ad.
vice of the latter he departed last
night for Reno to take the pasteur
treatment.
Alrick James, little colored boy
who is one of the Independent car
riers, told his mother several days ago
of having been bitten by a dog and
showed a small wound. Simple appll.
