YEARS
AND A HUNTER

Not many men are permitted to en-
joy life OF eighty.six years, and few
indeed of these ever dream of should
ering a shotgun and starting for a
hunt. Yet this is what Mr.. James
Russell did a few days since. and the
best of 1t is that he did not return
with an empty bag. He brought down
a couple of cotton tails which his
family enjoyed for dinner, and par
ticularly enjoyable were they because
of the fact that Mr.. Russell was able
to kill them and eat a goodly share.
Since his return from San Francis
CO where he spent the winter, Mr..
Russell has fully recovered from his
illness. and on his ranch at the edge
CT town he daily does more manual
labor and also does more reading than
the average man of thirty.
May he continue past the century
mark with physical and mental
strength as an example to the younger
generation OF right living.

FIRE DESTROYS
TWO COTTAGES

Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock
fire broke out in the extreme south
end of town and one small cottage
was completely destroyed and another
was very badly injured. To made
quate fire protection is due the loss.
The buildings were the property of
Thomas Jayo and the loss is esti-
mated at $500.
Volunteer fire fighters quickly re-
sponded to the call, but when the fire
hose was attached the water was with
out sufficient force to be of use and
there was little to do but stand by
and see the buildings burn.
The first connection was made at
the corner of the Helen Brown resi-.
dence, and seven hundred and fifty
feet OF hose were required to reach
the fire. Sections of the hose leaked
like sieve and from the first section
water spouted from a hole fully ten
feet into the air. This leaking, with
the force naturally lost through long
hose reduced the force to practically
nothing.
A second line of hose was strung
from fire hydrant near the Western
Pacific depot, a distance of probably
three hundred feet. This line was
more effective and through it the sec.
ond building was saved from complete
destruction. The first joint of this
hose, however, was in bad condition
and greatly reduced the force. \
personal inspection OF the hose was
made by the writer and the first joint
was found to be without a gasket, and
the metal was bent into an oblong
shape which permitted big leak
of water when the connection was
made.
was heard about the Water Company,
but from our Investigation we believe
that the fault was not due to the COM
pany but to the miserable condition of
the hose. Part of 1t is old and worth.
less and should be replaced, and il
should be seen to that better care be
taken of ii, and that it be properly
reeled and ready for use.
A fair sample of the attention CIV
ell to our fire apparatus was TO be seen
today in the fact that at late hour
a quantity of hose was still lying
where 1t had been used and wagons
and autos were running across it.
According to text books on the sub.
ject which were consulted today, there
is loss Of twelve pounds in one
hundred feet OF ordinary hose with q
water pressure of sixty pounds, which
is the average pressure maintained in
Elko. 1t can readily be understood
how practically the entire force would
be lost with seven hundred and fifty
feet of leaky hose.
According to Mr.. Critchley, manag-
er of the EIko Water Co., the pressure
now maintained is uniform. The press.
ure is always on and it is not changed.
Formerly 1t was necessary to open
valves at the alarm of fire to secure
the pressure from the upper reser-
voir Now, however, these valves
have been entirely eliminated and
tests today in various parts of town
showed an average Of sixty pounds
pressure. The minimum pressure
found was fifty-two pounds.

worst form. Let the decent, self-re.
specting, duty-performing American
man and American woman show their
real and hearty fellow feeling with,
and respect for, the immigrant to a
loftier patriotism and to the practical
application of such patriotism in the
everyday life of the home and the
neighborhood, the state and the ma.
tion. Let the United States mean to
the immigrant something more than
digging bitches, running machines OF
keeping boarders. Let the Fourth of
July be accepted as day when n
real beginning is made r., secure equal.
ity before the law and equality in in.
dustrial opportunity for nstive-born
and forelgn-born alike. Let us abolish
the padrone, abolish the last vestige
of peonage, and everything that tends
toward the slavery of worSingmen and
discrimination against immigrants. Do
not let the immigrant come here who
ought not to come; but IL he Is al.
lowed to come, treat him exactly as
anyone else Is treated. Let us make
the Fourth of July an invitation to
all residents in America, foreign-born
and native-born alike, to become real
citizens Of the country and to realize
that we are not many peoples but one
ne ation. Then let us make it by law
national holiday; for there can be
no better national holiday than one
consecrated to making all dwellers
within our boundaries desire to be.
come citizens, and to emphasizing the
things that unite them with, and not
those that divide them from, their fel.
lows. In short, the proposal is that
on this Fourth OF July we shall In.
augurate the practise of establishing,
on what has become by custom our
great national holiday, an American
contact with every immigrant in
America, contact which shall bring
personal relationship, institutional op.
portunity, industrial fellowship; con.
tact which, having been begun, shall
then be preserved in.
Surely this is project which should
commend itself heartily to all our peo.
pie who seriously appreciate the prob.
lens before us as a nation. The
events Of the last few months have
brought vividly home to all of us the
extreme danger to this country of per
mltttng the upgrowth here OF any sys.
tenn of group citizenship. The hyphe.
mated American is danger to the
country. This is true whether he call
himself Bnglish-American or French.
