if the clarion notes of war shall ever

the Nevada flag fly in triumph upon

shall man each gun and send with I'M
erring aim the deadly missile to avcnGc

strife shall grow stronger and strong

death shall strike the vitals of the
monster of the sea. and she shall rock
and then bow her stately head 10 her
mortal wound, culver and shake and
then sink to her endless rest beneath
the wave, then: may the flag that the
people of Nevada gave to her in pride
sink with her in the same pridesome
bearing: when the engulfing waves
shall sweep over her deck and slowly
her masts sink from view, may the
last sight of the vessel be the flag
which bears as its motto "All For Our

races and fair, but will likewise rea-
lize from the sale OF the lots. The
stock is worcestershire and only
enough will be sold to pay for the
actual work Of construction which is
estimated at less than $4,000. In the
past several days a number OF lots
have been sold, and there Is no doubt
that they will all soon be disposed of,
as installment terms have been made
Of ten dollars a month. If all these
lots are sold within the next six
months, which is very likely, the sum
of $4,000 will be realized from this
source alone within three years, and
stock holders will realize In dividends
therefrom at least nine thousand dol
lars more than the cost.
Aside from the fact that 1t is a most
inviting investment, 1t is a proposi-
ton which should be fostered and en-
+couraged by every business man of
the community on account of the indi-
rect benefits 1t promises.
There was some doubt expressed as
to whether or not the State Racing
Commission would indorse a half-mile
track but this doubt has all been dis
PEELED. The members have not only
given their approval but have express
ed desire to render all assistance in
their power to make race meets held
here a success.
AS keen interest is manifest in the
county fair as is manifest in the races
and Rodeo. From every part of the
county inquiries have been made rela-
tive to stalls and booths for the exhi-
bition of blooded stock and produce,
and already about forty stalls have
been requested. All such will be fur
nished free of charge, the only ex-
pense being the feed of the animals
This undertaking of the Elko De-
Velopment company is a big one and
one whose value to the community
cannot be overestimated. It should be
encouraged financially and morally for
its success depends only on the get
ting together of those who are to re-
ceive benefits, which means every per
son in this community. A little en-
terprise now in the way of financial
assistance to meet immediate costs in
getting the grounds in shape, and lit.
tie boosting will spell success for the
enterprise.
Let us all get behind the Elko De-
velopment company and do our share
and we are sure to feel proud of sue
cess which will crown our efforts.

Great interest is manifest In the
race course and fair grounds now in
course Of construction by the Elko
Development Company. and from the
work accomplished 1t can be seen that
when completed Elko will have the
best speed way and fair grounds in
the state. A large force OF men have
been at work during the past ten
days and the work of grading the
track is nearing completion. The con-
it is we'll under way, and the plans
have begun to assume that form which
give definite idea OF what the whole
will be when completed.
The track which is a half.mile in
length is oval in shape, and is SO con-
structed that It will permit Of auto and
motorcycle races as well as horse rae
es. It Is sixty feet wide and from
the pole or inside to the center 1t will
be level. From the center to the out
side or wall it will be uniformly raised
three feet giving a saucer appearance.
A grandstand will be constructed with
a capacity of about three thousand, to-
gether with stables, display booths.
etc. Inside the track will be the Ro-
deo ground and baseball diamond. A
place has been laid OF for the parking
Of cars and all other details have been
looked to. Five hundred trees have
been systematically arranged, a big
pumping plant has been installed, and
In the midst of the grove a dance pa
yillion Will be constructed. Expert
ence OF the past three years has prov
en- that a Rodeo furnishes a popular
form Of amusement and 1t is proposed
to make 1t with a county fair an at
traction W hlch will draw visitors from
all parts CT the west, equal II not ex-

ty lots 100 X 800 feet, and these have
been listed for sale at 5000 each. The
company has been regularly incorpo-

market more wheat in 1915 than in

Reno or to tide-water are encourag-

Mr.. Fulton says his company has
recently published very low rates on
alfalfa meal, believing that was the
only solution of the surplus hay prob
lem. He says there is now in Nevada
over 100000 tons of first class alfalfa
hay but no market. He believes that,
