Commissioners Gregory and Jones in
special meeting. The new call. 81
Issued will require publication thirty
days.
This should bring the election fol
sewer bonds about July 25th instead
OF the 3rd. a delay of three weeks.
The meeting last night lasted three
hours. Much of the time was devoted
to discussion of Elko town govern
ment.
Attorney e. B. Henderson said there
were three things to be considered
Should Elko continue under the pres
ent system? Should It incorporate? OF
should 1t adopt the commission form
of government ......
The members manifested desire to
act with due deliberation. There was
no objection to a commission form OF
government. All seemed to think this
would come in time. but that the time
was not yet ripe.
The merchants passed a resolution
saying that it was the sense of the
meeting that the sewer bonds should
be voted but leaving for further con-
sideration the manner in which the
thirty thousand dollars should be ex.
pended.
The association members decided to
close their stores Monday, July 5th,
and give their employees a holiday.
Mr.. Mcbride was chairman of the
meeting and Mr.. Hesson secretary.

WILL CALL ANOTHER
SEWER BOND ELECTION
SINCE THE MEETING MERCHANTS ASSOCIATIONS .or
EVENING lNooRsNe SEWER BONDS FOUND REPAIRS uN
DER FIRST NOTICE NOT BE MADE -

There will be no sewer bond cleo
ton on July 3rd as has been adver.
tised. 1t has been found that under
the call as issued that repairs of the
old system can not be made.
This Is one of the vital require.
ments Of the city, the repair of the
old sewer. Unless these repairs can
be made the bonds would probably
be voted down.
Since the Independent went to press
with the editorial page, making COM
ment on the Merchants association
meeting last night it has been found
by the attorneys that the election
called for July Bird provides only for
a mile extension of the sewer to the
west
However, nothing is said In that
article that is not pertinent to the
main issue. The meeting last night
was exclusively for members of the
Merchants association and those pres
ent were unanimous for the sewers.
But the question of how the money
should be spent was left open for
further consideration
1t has now been decided by all in
terests concerned to call another cleo
ton. The regular meeting of the
board of county commissioners is not
till Tuesday, July 9Th.
But a telephone message was sent
yesterday to Commissioner Griswold
in Star valley. He Is expected down

M'FADDEN ON VISIT

w. r. McFadden, travelling auditor

was in town this morning staying at

row night
Mr. McFadden says the business is
picking up all over the state and he
looks for considerable increase in
tho premiums paid this year.
At the close of December last year
the total number of employees listed
with the commission was 10,709. This
was the average for the first 1S
months the law had been in opera.

men and miners.
The railroad employees were 434,
poblic utilities 468, and state, county
ard srhool employees 397. These fig
ures included only those who had
elected to operate under the law.
The total premiums paid in were
1896, 0,903.43. The compensations paid
out amounted to $279,12717. OF the
premiums ten per cent goes into the
permanent sinking fund.
Mr.. McFadden had just returned
from trip to Verdi where he audited
the payrolls of the Verdi Lumber
company. He found that the company
was listing all the men II could legally
do so in this state, although most of
its employees are working in the state
OF California.
The change made In the law permits
compensation to a man whose home
is In Nevada although he may be in
Jured while out Of the state If he is
engaged in duties connected with the
home office. The office of the Verdi
Lumber company Is in Nevada, mile
or two this side of the California line.
The fact that the Nevada commits.
sion was being favored by the com.
pany led to an investigation by Mr.
WcFadden. He found that the Ne.
vada rates we're much lower than
those of California. In only one in
stance is the Nevada rate higher than
California and that is in railway con
struction.
Mr.. McFadden made out the follow
ing table showing the rates in Nevada
as compared with our neighbor TO the

Mr.. McFadden says that very few
hotels, saloons and stores are operat
ing under the compensation law. Most
of the Newspapers have elected to
pay their half of one per cent Of the
payrolls except in Tonopah and Elko.
The farmers are exempt from the

make 1t efficient, or will it be like the
army that our friend Colonel Putnam
has just described, that came down
from New York and other states with
out officers who knew their business.
And we will ask after you have spent
all you can what has a standing army
of 100000 men amounted to in the
present war? England had it and her
two millions of men are waiting at
home because they cannot get the
arms and ammunition to go to war.
l know this and you know 1t. How
will-you get the other money neces-
sary to give us arms, equipment anu
ammunition for our 100000 men
And that full arms, equipment and
ammunition costs 5000 man. 1t Is
little compared to the cost of $1,000
year for a soldier in the army or
sailor in the navy. 1t is very little,
1t is only 5000, it is only $40 a year
including officers il you distribute it
over twenty years. But we have not
got that twenty years to spend 1t in.
We want the arms and equipmen now.
What are we going to do? That is
what the practical American is going
to ask and what / have been asking
l won't stand for expensive dread,

expensive soldiers in the army until

they are to use in that army. Gap

They tell me that they want thous

are much cheaper than that. For a

tenth OF that sum we can put 50,'
900 boys as cadets in the navy, not In

tions for our army and navy grew,
they reduced that appropriation for
rifles until the last one, that for 1912,
was 10000 rifles year, or not enough
to take care Of the wear and tear in

baggage cars, and observation car to
Seattle and will make the run in IA
hours, arriving in Seattle about 10
Ip. IN. They will then go on board

". S. c. ATHLETES
WIN HONOR At FRISCO
Relay Team Gets Second, Schachtler
Gets Second, and McCroskey and
Dietz Third

Four places, two seconds and two
thirds, were taken by the team
which the State College sent to the
All-Coast Meet held at Berkeley last
Saturday, and the team will return
covered with honor. The relay team
pulled down second to the Stanford
quartet, which made only 1928,
largely due to a rather slow track.
Schachtler took the other second
place in the 440, running next to
Kadderly of o. A. G. and beating
Loucks of Oregon, who last year won
the Northwest Conference event in
record time. McCroskey, running
against the fastest man in the Unit
ed States, took third to Murray of
Stanford and Kiessig of the U. of
California. Captain Dietz placed
third in the Javelin throw, ranking
next to Phillips of Idaho, holder of
the American record for the event.
Liversedge of California took first
with a heave of TIA feet and five
inches.
The points in the relay did not
count, as only first place was award
ed points, and the southern colleges
still cling to the hammer throw as
the official weight as against the
jay elm, SO that Dietz's third place
was only honorary. The w. S. C.
quartet had the longest and hardest
trip of any team and their showing
under these circumstances is consid-
erred remarkable.
