ONE OF ELko's wEALTHIEsT
CITIZENS, ;. c. GREGORY, A
WORKER FOR COMMON GOOD

Among the wealthy men of Elko-
rich in the high satisfaction OF con-
tented and useful life-few have a
more enviable claim to public esteem
than Mr.. J. G. Gregory, the County
Commissioner, central district, who is
a candidate for reelection. According
to economic statisticians, Mr.. Gregory
is a millionaire. The money term is
used merely as figure Of speech. His
wealth consists in the fact that he is
the father OF seven stalwart sons, and
a normal boy, grown to manhood, OF
good character and disposition. is esti
mated TO be worth TO society at least
a quarter OF million dollars.
This is an estimate OF the creative
wealth of a lifetime of honest toll
Mr.. Gregory, therefore, on this basis
is worth. as a citizen, nearly $1,000,
600. Add the value of his excellent
public services. his years of toll as a
miner, prospector. and farmer, and the
aggregate is fortune of which any
man might be justly proud.
MY present ambition as public
servant" said Mr.. Gregory today. lis

OF the people by perfecting the sewer

and make our city thoroughly admir-

Mr.. Gregory believes strongly in the
future of Elko. II is TO be; he thinks.

population and an ever-increasing COM
mercial Importance
''As Commissioner" said Mr.. Greg

basis of estimate-Mr. Gregory is gen.

no snap as everyone knows, and the
main reward Is the satisfaction of do

Hon. Otis E. Benton OF Oberlin, can
didate for republican nomination for
congress, was in town Monday, getting
acquainted with the voters. Mr.. Ben
ton is making a personal canvass of
this part of the district and before the
time for the primary he hopes to meet
practically all the voters. Benton is
dynamo of energy; his active campaign
work shows that he would be a power
full worker in congress. Along with
this he has a knowledge of the needs
of the district, having grown up from
boyhood in Decatur county. He is q
man that does things; is a strong, indie
pendent thinker; and if elected to con-
gress no party caucus viii ever bind
him to vote for measures that are in
imicel to the interests of the sixth dis
trict. Congressman Connolly, the
present incumbent, bound by a party
caucus, voted for the Underwood tariff
law, which aimed blow at practically
every product of his own congressional
district, and showed favoritism to the
products Of the south.
Twenty-three years ago the writer
was employed as a printer at Oberlin-
Our shop was in the basement of the
same building in which Otis Benton
was employed as a bank clerk. We
remember him as quiet, unassuming
young man who was always on the job
He worked hard and saved his money.
AS fast as he would get little money
ahead he would invest it in land which
was dirt cheap in those days. A little
later when he could afford it he began
stocking up these farms. His bust
ness ability was noticed by the bust
ness men of Oberlin of that day, and
this writer once overheard one of the
most prominent Democratic politicians
of that town say one day: tDo you
know that Otis L. Benton will be heard
from one of these days?" The pro-
phecy is now coming true, as it now
seems certain that Benton will be
nominated and elected to congress this
fall.-Downs News.

Did you ever think that a character
of local interest here in this town would
be of universal appeal? For instance,
Miss Ethel Hinton has just finished a
tour of seventy-two towns in which she
gave characterizations in dialect to
audiences aggregating 5000 people
The thing she does to entertain people
is to impersonate characters together
with their peculiarities Of speech. She

SUNFLOWER PETALS.
Plucked by the Golden Belt Spectator.


The Spectator has no advice to offer
either the Republican or Progressive
conventions which are now meeting at
Chicago.
The business of political conventions
is to offer canned advice to the Ameri-
can public and from the outlook when
this is written it seems that though
the variety will be increased it will not
number f1fty-seven.

! Former Governor E. W. Hoch has
delivered q number of addresses at
Hays during the past year. The intro
duetion of each and every one of them
has contained some ailusion to his own

to laugh before he finishes the allusion.
