WILL TRY TO
FORCE ROOSEVELT
Proaressives win Attempt to Compel
Republicans to Nominate Teddy
on Regular Ticket.

CHICAGO, AIM. 1t.--A plan Of action
to force the Republicans to nominate
Roosevelt was decided upon by the
Progressive leaders today at confer
ence to select the. place, the time and
the details Of their national conven-
tion. Frank Funk, their candidate for
Governor in 1912, stated that they
would probably hold their party con-
vention the same week as the regulars.
Their plan is to nominate Roosevelt
an dthen unless the republicans nomi-
nate Roosevelt, there will be a third
ticket. Bull Moosers' say the Repub-
licaus see the futility of nominating
anyone Else and that the very mention
of Roosevelts nam evil stampede the
Republican convention.
A telegram of greetings came from
Roosevelt during the day and he sent
greetings, stating that the nation had
fallen short of its duty during the las:
eighteen months. He says that the
United States must have thorough pre-
paredness, which is the best guarantee
for permanent and honorable peace.

show signs of exhaustion and the 9th
er members OF the party helped him
along. In the last half mile he was
SO weak that 1t was necessary for his
companions to carry him bodily. Soon
after arriving at Allen creek he be,
came unconscious and the boys work.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN
HOTEL STEAM HEATED

Mr.. +. X. Newman, manager of the
Russell company of Elko, is back from
a short trip to Battle Mountain, where
he and Mr.. George Russell, Jr., went to
look over the installation of modern
steam heating plant for the Nevada
hotel at that place. They have had
a large force of men at work there for
quite a few weeks, as the contract
was one of the large ones for this
region. They found that the work
had been we'll done and Battle Noun.
tain now has a thoroughly modern,
up-to.date hotel with every con.
venience at hand, such as electric
lights, steam heat and hot and cold
water in the rooms. 1t will help to
establish Battle Mountain on the map.
BY the way, there are many firms
that handle their business in a way
that deserves credit as 1t brings much
business into Elko, and the Russell
Company is among them. They went
into this contract bidding against
firms from many parts of the state,
the ywere awarded the contract and
have furnished work for many Elko
men during these winter months, and
yesterday tn elast Of the workmen re,
turned to Elko bringing with them
money 10 spend here which Elko would
not have seen had 1t not been for the
keen business foresight of this firm.

MEETING TO-DAY ON
RABIES QUESTION

The Humboldt Star of winnemucca,
says:
The meeting called by Governor
Boyle for the discussion of matters
connected with the rabies situation In
Nevada will convene here at the court
house. The County Commissioners of
each of the several counties in the
State have been requeste dto appoint
representative to attend this meet
ing, and with the State officials and
representatives of the federal govern
ment and the many others who are
interested in this vital question 1t is
expected that there will be large
gathering of people present.
Governor Boyle will be present and
will probably preside at the meeting.
L. II. Sans, government inspector of
predatory animals, whose headquar.-
ers are in Winnemucca, will address
the meeting and explain what the
Federal government is accomplishing
at the present time in the matter of
eXterminating the coyotes.
Mr.. Sans has had large force of
trappers and hunters out for some
time and his men are doing effective
work in eXterminating coyotes and
other predatory animals.
Many sheepmen, cattlemen and
stockmen in general will be present at
this meeting and plans will be for.
mulated for cooperative warfare,
covering all sections of the State,
against the coyote and the other wild
animals that are menace to the stock
interests of this State.
Sheep dogs with their flocks may
be infected through encounters with
rabid coyotes and this will be another
question that will be brought before
the meeting, as such dogs are neces-
sity in the proper handling of sheep
on the range. f
In addition all citizens should inter.
est themselves in the campaign as it is
to the greatest interest of the State
to wage war on coyotes and the work
should be conducted systematically.

Last night, there assembled at the
court house Of Elko County one OF the
most enthusiastic meetings of citizens
that the oldest old-timers can remem-
her, and the speeches that were made
there show that Elko possesses many
an orator of ability.
The meeting was called to order by
the Hon. Isaac Griswold, chairman OF
the Board OF County Commissioners,
who stated that the object of the
meeting was to discuss the purchase
OF fire lighting machine OF some
kind, and to obtain the opinions of the
citizenship as to what they wanted
in this line. The talks showed that
there were almost as many opinions
in the crowd as there were different
people. There were those present who
thought that the town was fairly well
protected as 1t is; there were others
that questioned the matter of expense:
many talked about the expensive cost
OF the upkeep Of machine, but 1t was
the concensus of opinion that Elko
should have some kind of chemical
engine, and they voted that way al
most unanimously. They showed their
confidence In the county board by
voting that they should be allowed to
use their own Judgment as to what
kind of an auto fire fighter be chosen.
Some citizens have been working
voluntarily along with the county
commissioners to obtain the opinion
of the underwriters at San Francisco
as to whether the installation of fire
apparatus would not reduce the cost Of

THINGS LOOK GOOD
FOR 7USCARORA

For many years the titles to some
of the larger properties Of the district
near Tuscarora, have been clouded
with legal tangles that would take the
wisdom OF u Solomon to untangle, but
time, the great untangler Of all tangles
has finally smoothed away the diff.
culties that stood In the way end yes
terday was the beginning of the end
of poor old Tuscarora's long, enforced
rest
At noon yesterday there was sold on
the court house Bteps by Sheriff Har-
ris, by order Of the district court, the
property which has been in litigation,
which was bid in by u. p. Carvlllo for
the Dexter-Tusoaror Consolidated
Gold Mining Co. for s128,145.54. Now
that the legal tangle is beginning TO
be cleared up, It will not be long until
work will be resumed in real earnest.
The good news that the end TO the
inactivity Is at hand was phoned up to
Tuscarora yesterday and the little
town already is taking on new life.
Another message received today AYERS
that forty people have filed on claims
that have been long since abandoned,
and men who have had no hopes Of
ever seeing the old town "come
back" are pleasantly disappointed at
the life which the news brought.

The answer came this morning aud
runs as follows:
'tsan Francisco. Calf IAN 10. 1916.
John Henderson, EIko. NSyada. -
Letter received. Elko needs. eight
inch mains In mercantile district, hy-
drants one hundred fifty feet apart in
mercantile district, and three hundred
feet in residence section. It needs q
chemical engine and proper building
ordinance. For chemical and COM
bined hose wagon, paid operators
must be provided. 1t needs also a
fire alarm system, II chemical is to
be of value. Two years ago we stated
these improvements would eliminate
eight points and put Elko In book
three California. White combined
chemical and hose wagon has been
accepted as standard machine at Visa
liza, one in San Francisco and other
points on coast. Purchase Of chemical
engine step in right direction, but
only one of important improvements.
w. s. DUvAL."
Some people have the idea that the
installation of a fire fighting auto
mobile or chemical engine will reduce
insurance rates In Elko. This is err
roneous. It will take much more than
a mere piece OF apparatus to bring
down the price Of insurance as it is
only one of many, steps In the direc-
tion Of reduced fire risk.

The Reno Gazette remarks:
With twelve and one-half inches of

reports sent to all surrounding farm
ers.
