ELKO ARRANGING TO
ENTERTAIN EDITORS

The editors of the state of Nevada
aie planning on meeting in annual ses-
slon on September 9th at Elko. and as
they do not probably realize what is
in store for them. But if there is one
newspaper man in this state who has
the opportunity to come and see the
L'e doin 5 he win have lifelong hat
red for himself if he doesn't come.
Seldom has any editor the chance to
see so much in such short time as
Elko will have to offer at the time of
Rodeo week. For there will be more
bpcking horses here than have ever
been assembled in one corral at any
celebration. Some places may boast of
bigger grandstands. other localities
may claim to have more sky-scrapers
hut when it comes to bucking horses,
Eiko is the place to see them.
And the editors VIII be treated to
sights and scenes that will give them
material for stories to fill the columns
for years to come. There will be more
Indians here than have been assembled
together since the Custer massacre, for
every Indian that can beg, borrow or
steal a cayuse is going to be here to
meet the editors when the roll of the
press association is called. and they
will have their brass band. and more
war bonnets, and other equipment than
the editors will observe outside the
walls of museum with a special col
lection.
And the Elko cowgirls. sayi YOU
ought TO see the bunch of pretty cow
girls that are filing the streets here,
even at this early time. Other lands
nav produce diamonds, foreign climes
an claim to be the home of rubies and
pearls, but Elko is certainly the home
of the real thing when it comes TO
cowgirls. And if there is an ounce of
romance in the breast of anv of the
editors, here is the material for a ro-
mantle fiction that will make the world
sit up and take notice. BY the way. II
is rumored that one of the brother
editors is thinking of taking unto him
self a blushing bride and coming to

ciation for his wedding trip. This is
noble thought this is just the place
