SERVICE Co, BOND
NOT FORFEITED

The city council last night granted
the Public Service corporation, upon
the request of Geo. Sanders. its pre-
sident, two weeks extension Of time
before taking action toward the for
feiture OF the bond Of $1,000 which
1t had given to support Its application
for q franchise within the city. A
year ago the Public Service corpora
tion was granted franchise to In
stall an electric light and power SER
vice within the city. II entered into
a bond of $1,000 under which 1t
agreed to have two miles Of wire
within the city carrying current with
in nine months. The nine months
expired in April, and as no move to-
ward the construction of the line had
been made, an ordinance was intro
duced at the previous meeting Of the
council forfeiting the bond. When
the ordinance came up for action at
the meeting last night, letter writ
ten by Geo. Sanders. at Salt Lake
City, on July 3rd. was read. In this
Mr. Sanders asked action on the for
feiture ordinance be delayed till he
arrived in the city, stating that he
expected to be here during the COM
ing week. He said that as he had
previously explained to the council,
he had given his time and his funds
during the past year toward the
establishment Of sugar factory at
Grants Pass, and that now he was
arranging his personal affairs to fur
ther the interests Of the Public Ser
vice corporation. For the council to
press the matter OF the bond for
feiture at this time would, he said,
be embarrassing to his enterprises,
therefore he sought the delay.
The sentiment within the council
was pretty evenly divided between
proceeding with the passage OF the
ordinance and granting delay till the
next meeting. On roll call. Council
men Burke, Burkhalter, Demaray and
Knipps supported the motion to de-
lay action, while Councilmen Bunch,
Herman and Paddock we're for imme-
diate action.
The bond given by the Public Ser
vice people was by surety company

ball In many a day will be played
here Sunday when the home team
meets the tossers from Medford. The
rivalry between these two teams has
become intense, and the manager Of

men to strengthen any weaknesses
that have been developed by the
games played thus far. The Grants
Pass team has Just returned from Its
trip to Crescent City. where II de-
feated the crack nine from the coast,
while Medford won two OF her three
contests with Weed at Ashland dur

was won by Weed In IL innings with
a two to one score. Grants Pass will
have the strongest team yet brought

Commenting oil the resignation OF

following To say relative TO his prob
able successor:
1t generally IL conceded that the
governors choice has fallen on one OF
four men-Charles l.. Slavin, defeated
candidate for sheriff. Nye County

Malley; Rufe Henrichs. appointed com.
missioner OF Washoe County by Cover.

County. and 4. A. Burke, former head
OF the state police and former sheriff
OF Washoe County"
The independent would be- greatly
pleased TO see the wardenship tend.
cred TO Sheriff Joseph Hnrris. He Il
particularly fitted for the position
having dealt with the criminal class
for fourteen years. He is also well
qualified 10 handle the prison farm, his
early life having been spent on a
ranch.
AT the last election Mr.. Harris was
reelected sheriff by an overwhelming
majority. and while the people of this
county would greatly regret losing
him. everyone would be glad to see
him promoted to the warden's office.
Everything considered. this position l.
the best appointivc position in the
state.
II would be a master stroke on the
part of Governor Boyle il he should
select Sheriff Harris for the position.
There is not at the present time q
single person from Elko County hold
