TRAPPERS WRITE FOR
THEIR SCALP MONEY

Trappers throughout the county
think that they should receive their
bounty on scalps Immediately after
the same are sent here and their
claims are presented. AS a result Re-
ccrder Greathouse receives many let
ters asking about such claims, and
some infer that the recorder Is hold
ing back the vouchers. IT, Mr.. Great
house replies that the claims have not
been allowed then there is sure to
come letter asking why the claims
are not allowed, etc.
II has been customary in this eoun-
ty to allow scalp claims at the De-
cembed and January meetings of the
board At this time OF year there is
generally more available money in the
treasury. Mr.. Greathouse wishes 1t
understood that unless the commits.
sioners allow a claim he cannot draw
a warrant for IT, and unless there is
available money in the treasury scalp
claims are laid over There Is no need
Of getting out OF patience with any
official. They are following a practice
which has been the custom for many
years.

Mr.. THOS. GRIFFIN
BUYS M'INTOSN RANCH

The estate of the late George Nc
Intosh was sold at public auction at
noon today at the courthouse. There
were but few bidders, but the bidding
was keen. Mrs. Thos. Griffin and
Gerald Griffin were the principal bid
dcrs for the ranch, and they ran the
price up from $4,000 the first offer, to
s8725, Mrs. Griffin bidding that
amount and the ranch went TO her.
The appraised valuation OF this prop.
erty was $4,000.
The stable, tools, wagons and har.
ness were sold to Mr. Thos. Griffin
vino bid for them S1450.
The twenty-five head OF horses,
mules and colts were not sold as the
bids were not regarded as sufficiently
high.
The sale was conducted by Judge
Curler, who proved himself quite as
efficient an auctioneer as he is a
practitioner of law.

surance that he will make his word
good.

RELIEF WORK IS
SYSTEMAT'zED

Work for the relief of destitute Bel
gians is daily becoming more and
more systematized everywhere, and
reports from various parts OF the
country to the Commission for Re-
lief in Belgium at II Broadway, New
York, show there is no sign that the
spirit of giving. which is cha -acter-
istic of the American people, is abat-
ing. The continued need in Belgium
Of help from the outside world means
that the giving must be continued as
long as that need exists.
In Washington. d. c., official express
sion of the gratitude of the Belgian
people was transmitted by the Belgian
minister to Mrs. John A. Logan. chair
man of the district committee, and the
minister extended to the workers his
most heartfelt thanks for their noble
Efforts" Mrs. Logan's committee col
lected $5.OOO.25 in the National capI-
tai.
Mrs. Logan also received a letter
from Vice-Chairman Lndon w. Bates
of the Commission for Relief in Bel
sium. acknowledging receipt OF recent
food and clothing shipments.
From Z. C. Thoits, chairman of the
.Palo Alto. California, Committee OF
the Commission, Vice-Chairman Bates
has just received a check of $4,000,
contributions from the people of Palo
Alto. This was in addition to gener-
Gus contributions previously sent. Mr..
Thoits wrote: The Committee in
Palo Alto, learning that no immedi-
ate action was contemplated in San
Francisco and feeling that our sub
scribers wished definite results to be
accomplished with their contributions,
decided to send the money to you"
A telegram from Gulfport, Miss,
states that there is good prospect of
big cargo for the Mississippi ship,
which is scheduled to sail from that
port soon. The committee recently
formed in this state Is actively en-
gagged securing a cargo.
At Louisville, KY, word was re-
Ceived by the commission, the women

THE TRACK MEET
COUNTY SCHOOLS

There are many indications in Elko
County that things educational are
taking stand upon a more fair basis.
Ono OF the most important of these
indicies is the coming track meet
which will be held in Elko on the 23d
and gath of this month. It is the first
county track meet ever announced for
eastern Nevada and the response
which is being had from many schools
assures that it will be not only sue
cessful but extremely beneficial AL
ready, with many of the important
schools still to be heard from, some
fifty are entered. Before the week
is out, in all probability. seventy-five
or hundred students will be listed
in the contests. Every school that
can possibly send one or more stud
ents should do so, il for no other
reason than to show that they are
alive and on the map of Elko. a
community could do nothing that
would better advertise the alertness
of its citizens than to send a good live
team to the contests. Plans are be-
Ing made so that there will be no ex-
pense to the athletes while in Elko
1t is felt that there are many stud.
ents in the county that could not at
tend were the expense not cut as low
as possible.
Some of the smaller schools are
hesitatiing because they feel that they
cannot compete with the larger. This
should not hinder them from entering
all the students that they can muster;
the meet is not professional and few
of the students have had much train
ing. There are events enough too
so that all will have chance to place
in some contest. The committee
wants to see the boys in the swim
whether they know athletics from
algebra or not.
One feature of the meet which is
attracting great attention among the
girls of the schools Is the cooking and
candy war. There will be board
of ladies for judges while the products
will be sold at a very modest shilling.
Fourteen girls, chosen from the girls
Of the several cooking clubs that have
been organized this year by Miss
Davis of the University of Nevada,
will compete in this contest Merch.
ants Of Elko county have been kind
enough to offer suitable prizes to the
winners.
Another contest to which students
are responding is that of the decla.
nation. This is open to both boys
and girls, q medal going to the win
ner In each group.
For all the athletic events and for
the declamatory contest silver med
ais will be given. Over a dozen of
these, suitably designed, will be pre-
sented the winners. To make the
medals more valuable they will each
he engraved with the winners name,
date and event.
1t is of course understood, that the
students of the Elko High school will
not enter the contests and compete
for prizes. Their advantage would
be too great They will enter in the
events but merely for the purpose Of
trying out for places on the team
that will go to Reno on May 7th.
