TELEGRAPH SERVICE.


II growth of Elko has been slow
but substantial. The Independent has
grown with the town l, Is the aim
Of the paper TO keep just a little ahead
OF the town.
Yesterday its bulletin kilograms did
not arriPe. This is a small service
and yet the absence of the specials
from the paper was noted by the
readers.
Altogether this bulletin service is
unsatisfactory. Even this expense is
more than the paper is justified in in
curing. But a town the size of Elko
with its wealth and thus iso-
lated as we are from other large cities
should have a regular afternoon tele-
graph service.
This afternoon service will cost
twelve hundred dollars a year for tele-
graph tolls alone. That takes the in
come from 200 subscribers. In the
town and county the Independent
should have two hundred new sub
scribers.
New subscribers are coming in from
day to day. The Independent here
a a promise to give the people
regular press dispatches as soon as it
has received two hundred new sub
scriptions.

HOW TO STOP n
FLY

IN THIS Issue of the Independent
Is published a valuable contribution
from the United States Department
Of Agriculture telling how to stop the
breeding of flies.
Two simple remedies are offered.
One is powdered hellebore and the
latter Is boraX. The latter is cheaper
but IL usel in excess may injure the
fertilizing value of the manure in
which the fly breeds. This fact prob
ably would not receive consideration
here where manure is not used as fer.
tilizer.
There is still another way. Were
you ever in New York City? New
York is about the hottest place in the
United States in JIiy but still the
city has no flies and no screens are
used 10 doors and windows.
The reason for this is that the city
is kept clean. No refuse is allowed
to accumulate in backyards, and there
are 10 manure piles. Thus the flies
have no place to breed and can not
perpetuate themselves.
The proper way to keep the flies
u of Elko would be to clean up the
city of all refuse and manure and keep
1t clear. However, this will not be
done. The next best thing to do is
to sprinkle the refuse with the hele-
bore or boraX solution. Ten cents
will suffice for a wagon load of ma
nure and the remedy is cheap enough
to make II feasible.
Even at ordinary times the fly is
a nuisance. But this year with the
possibility of the spread of typhoid
when the low stage of water comes
in the river 1t behooves every one to
help rid the city of flies.
Yellow fever once vas a great
scourge in this country. 1t was found
that its spread was due entirely to
the mosquito. BY killing the larvae
Of the mosquito in is breeding places
yellow fever no longer became a men
ace to health.
]. is now known that typhoid fever
is carried about by the common house
fly. Swat the fly and we will have
no typhoid.

WHY ADVERTISE A ToWN?

IN A score of years Los Angeles
was built up from a village to one
OF the foremost cities on the cont.
nent. 1t was done through the orga.
nized advertising of its business men.
Portland, Oregon, has just raised a
fund of a quarter million dollars to ad.
vertise the town. Why do these cities
advertise? Simply because II is good
business to do SO.
The San Francisco Exposition is
nothing but n huge advertisement.
The cost of the Fair and the value Of
the exhibits can not be far from a
hundred million dollars.
One typewriter company spent a
hundred thousand dollars in building
a model typewriter weighing some
fourteen tons. 1t will be a total loss
after the Fair is over and yet 1t has
paid as IN advertisement.
1t pays little towns to advertise just
as much in proportion az II does big
ones. The Rodeo in September will
be q good advertisement for Elko just
as the Panama Exposition is n good
advertisement for san Francisco.
The Bell Telephone company sets
aside one per cent of It's gross re
oeip.s for advertising purposes. This
company does not have to advertise
but II finds II good business to do SO
And II is just as profitable for the
small merchant to advertise in pro,
portion as IL is for the big one.
Tho proper way 20 advertise Elko is
through a Commercial club.
