SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS.
SCOTT SHOCKS FRIENDS

White Pine county has lost an
other of its grand old pioneers in the
death of Mrs. Susan Scott, who died
suddenly at her apartments in the
Scott house on Lyons avenue about
1890 last Thursday morning. Death
was due to heart failure.
Mrs. Scot was So years of age,
and while she had not been in the
best of health recently. she did not
complain severely, and the wonder
full amount of energy OF which she
was possessed kept her about so that
she never abandoned her usual bus
mess activities.
She was about as usual on Thurs
day morning. when she dropped to
the floor in the kitchen of her apart
ment and expired. The sound OF the
fall was heard by Mrs. Walsh in an
adjoining room. but attracted no par
icular attention and it was some min
utes later when Mrs. Walsh entered
the kitchen and found Mrs. Scott
lying on the floor. Doctors w. T.
Gleason and A. F. Adams we're imme-
diately summoned, but pronounced
the noble woman dead and stated
that death in all probability had been
practically instantaneous.
Mrs. Scott, whose maiden name
was Susan Adair. was born in Provo.
Utah. 64 years ago next October. In
1873, with her parents, she came TO
Phoebe, where she later married l.. S.
Scott. and four children of this
union now survive her They are
Mrs. Lew Rogers of Reno: Mrs. Fl.
c. F. Brown. Mrs Susie Griffen and
Lee Scott, OF Ely. Two sisters, Mrs.
Joseph HUFF of Los Angeles and Mrs
Martha Bader of Nampa, Idaho. are
likewise left to mourn her loss
and all have the heartfelt sympathy
of every one in this community.
Following her marriage Mrs. Scott
removed to Bristol. then to Osceola

she has resided ever since. save for
a short period during which she re-
sided in Salt Lake City. Her hus-
band was at one time sheriff of White
Pine county. and died in 1902.
Mrs. Scott was a woman possessed
of great business ability and an in
exhaustible fund OF energy. BY the
due exercise of both she accumulated
considerable money and invested In
real estate. most Of which Is located
In the city of Ely. She was careful
In the extreme and looked we'll into
the future. During the times when It
was hard to get along in this dis
trict she kept her family together and
provided each Of her children with IN
excellent education to assist them In

REJECT SAM PLATT'S PROPOSITION
Latters Suggestion that Voters Primary be Provided with
Separate Ballots which Designate Senatorial Choice

any feasible means can be devised
whereby your proposed plan can be
carried out. l am willing to cooper
ate in every way possible, and to this
end would be pleased to appoint rep
resentatives to cooperate with other
representatives to be appointed by
yourself and Mr. Howe or any pros
pective candidates. if any such there
may be. in an effort to devise a safe,
workable plan to be presented for the
consideration of the several candi-
dates.
Permit me now to present for your
consideration a plan that in. my
judgment will work, is consistent
with the present law and will better
accomplish the desired result than
any voluntary agreement which the
candidates can enter into, an agree
ment which at best would not be
sanctioned by law and is of extreme
ly doubtful feasibility.
| propose that the candidates for
delegates to the convention be re-
quested to publicly state their choice
for nominee for United States SEN
ator, SO that the voters may know
where the candidates for delegates
stand; thus indirectly the voters may
accomplish the purpose which our
present law deprives them of. l have
already advised this course wherever

that they may express their choice
accordingly. shall continue to work
along these lines even though We
may subsequently be able to agree
upon plan to carry out your pro-
posal, in which event the voters
would have a double opportunity for

Mr.. Samuel Platt
Reno, Nevada.
Dear Mr.. Plat.
| am in receipt of your letter of June
29th, and in reply wish to say that
contrary to the opinion implied in
your suggestion. | have full conf
dence that the delegates provided
by law to be elected by the people
under the Apustralian ballot system
will honestly and in good faith carry
out the will of the people. person
ally favor a simple. direct primary
law. The present primary law is
admittedly complex. The adoption
OF your suggestion would needlessly
complicate it further and entail an
unnecessary expense and great ad-
ditional labor upon both candidates
and election boards. cannot see why
We. the candidates for one particular
office should further eomplicate the
matter by asking for a special rule.
which. if granted to us, could not be
denied to candidates for any other
Office and which the law does not
recognize. The application to all con-
tests of the rule you suggest would
add complexity to the law to the
point of chaos. The republican vot-
ers of the state would probably be
quite interested to ascertain why
you seem to hold the opinion that
your candidacy will not receive fair
consideration at the hands of the
delegates who are themselves direct
ly elected by the people. realize
the necessity of following the nomin-
ating procedure as laid down in the
existing law and, therefore. cannot
adopt your suggestion.
Sincerely yours.

Mrs. Scott was that type of the
grand old pioneers of which Nevada
is SO proud. Sincere in her deep re-
ligious beliefs. she made an exemp-
larry mother, a good neighbor and q
kind friend. She braved the storms
in the early days and accepted the
hardships which presented them
selves as only that type of true
womanhood is capable of. Her sud
den death came as a great shock
and spread deep sorrow over the en-
tire community. Just one more of
the cherished pioneers has been
called TO her greater reward. and
those left to mourn her loss can ut
least find some consolation In the fact
that she Is now enjoying q bright
and glorious immortality. to which
her exemplary life so Justly entities
