brother of the deceased, was appoint

made, and then contested the account

on the other hand that he expended
more than twice the amount of the
policy on the boy bcrorc he became OF
age, but admits that he failed to rem.

BERLIN, May 20.-The official text
of the American note to Germany was
published here yesterday.
It was said at the foreign office that
it would be some days before the an
swer of the imperial government was
ready. This is because the not, raises
many points and consultation between
several departments of the govern
ment will be necessary in preparing a
reply.
Berlin newspapers as a rule refrain
from comment upon the American
note. The Tages Zietung, however,
says:
"Whoever reads this note without
prejudice can scarcely escape the IN
preston that the British ambassador
at v ashington was not far away when
IL vas framed. One could equally as
well imagine its contents to be a
speech of Premier Asquith in the
house of commons"
Count Won Reventlow, the naval
critic, declares:

FILES ARTICLES
Of Incorporation

Articles of incorporation were filed
for the Nevada Homebuilder Publish
ing Company. The corporation is cap
italiEed for ten thousand dollars, one
thousand shares at $40 4 share, and
the principal place of business is Elko.
The articles recite that the purpose
of the new corporation is to print and
publish newspapers here and else
where throughout Nevada. w. L. Nc
Neil has one share of stock, Isabella
Mcneil has forty-nine shares, and G.
L. Schwartz and Ida M. Schwartz have
Jointly forty-seven shares. The ar
ticles state that the actual paid-up
capital stock is $1,000, but the names
of the stockholders and the amounts
held by them show it to be 1910.
1t has been frequently stated of late
that the Homebuilder would be resur
rected from the graveyard at Carlin
where it has been sleeping peacefully
since a short time after the last elcc
ton, and that the remains would be
brought to Elko. 1t was also stated
that there was $4,000 behind the
proposition, and that the reanimated
corpse would make the rest of the
papers of Elko County look like dirty
rags. AS was expected, however, the
promised $4,000 has dwindled to a
measly 1910, so the old corpse is not
likely to set the world afire, and its
second life will probably not be much
longer than the first, particularly
without line Of type nor the shadow
of a press to start with, for it is
we'll known that the Homebuilder was
printed in Salt Lake City, and it new
er had the sign of plant.
Mcneil once started out to set the
world afire with a newspaper in Ell
ko. He leased the Independent and
nearly succeeded in conducting it to
the grave yard, despite the fact that
1t was in prosperous condition when
he took hold of the helm. 1t was
taken from him just in the nick of
time. He failed to pay his rent, he
didn't pay for his paper, he didn't
pay the type founders, and worst OF
all he didn't pay his printers. The
latter would have placed mechanics

Booher agreed to settle the accounts

clans are behind Mack now with his

OF ELKO
MAKES A VISIT

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Mason and wife of EN-
poria, Kansas, arrived from the west
last night and stopped over until this
morning when they took No. 10 for
Ogden. They are returning from the
coast where they took in the fairs at
San Francisco and San Diego.
MI. Mason was one of the very ear
ly pioneers of Elko, having passed
through here first in 1852, when he
crossed the plains ;n prairie schoon-
er. He returned here in the late SOS,
but remained only short time, when
he went to Hamilton, during the White
Pine excitement. He was in Elko last
in 1872, when he stopped in the old
Depot hotel, which had been complet-
ed Only couple of years.
Mr.. Mason is now we'll advanced in
years but he is enjoying good health,
aud he says that he often thinks with
pleasure of the pioneer days here
when this was a barren wilderness.
He says that the west was then filed
with stage robbers and outlaws, but
it had at the same time the finest
specimens of true courageous man.
hood to be found in the world, and
the memory of these, and the hope
that he might again clasp one of his
old friends by the hand, induced him
to make short stop here. Unfortun-
ately there was not one of his old ac-
quaintances left, and it was with great
disappointment that he boarded the
train this morning.

CHANGE Of LAW
Affects ESTATE

A change in the inheritance law,
giving to the mother independently
the same shares as to the father in the
estate of deceased child, whereas here
tofore it all went to the father, ma
terially affects the estate OF G. Elmer
Ouderkirk, deceased. The law was
passed by the last legislature, and
was the result Of efforts on the part
of women's suffrage organizations.
Mr. Ouderkirk, who with his sister
Mrs. Myrtle Robinson owned the Pho
neer building. one of the finest struc-
lures in Elko, died without making a
will, and under the old law all Of his
estate would have gone to his father.
Under the new law, however, it will
be equally shared with his mother.
In this instance the change in law
makes a big difference as the father
and mother of the deceased have been
separated for a number of years. The
new law was approved by the COVER,
nor just short time before Mr.. Oud.
