VAST CAMPAIGN FOR ADVERTISING; / +,

G. +. Wantland, general sales agent
of the Southern Pacific Company's
land department arrived this morning
and registered at the Riverside. He
Is here for the purpose of mapping out
an advertising campaign that will put
Nevada in the mouth OF every man
troubled with the back to the land
idea. The railroad lands, he contends,
are the cheapest and best lands in
the United States today and in proof
of that fact tells of a large colony
coming here from Twin Falls, Idaho,
to engage in the business of raising
clover seed. They have been buying
Nevada grown seed for which they
paid top prices and the backer of the
movement thinks there is more money
in raising alfalfa seed in this state
than in buying the seed and feeding
cattle in the north.

CARL|N ROAD
MATTERS ADJUSTED

At the meeting yesterday of the
County Highway Board, arrangements
were made with J. w. Puett of Carlin
for right of way for a road through
his land east of Carlin. Mr.. Puett
met the Board on even terms and the
matter was settled amicably and to
entire satisfaction of all concerned.
The road into Carlin has been a
matter of contention for number of
years and the public will be glad to
learn that 1t Is finally settled. Mr.
Puett is to be commended for the lib

matter.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Phenom.

The most remarkable increases
were: Explosives jumped from $2,-

manufactures rose from s14,0OO.OOO to

COMMISSIONERS ORDER
CHEMICAL ENGINE

The County Commissioners sitting
as Town Board for the Town of
Elko, this forenoon ordered a chemical
fire engine. The matter has been be-
fore the Board for several weeks and
after due consideration the White en-
gine was decided upon as the one best
fitted for the conditions here. The
engine will be fitted with a 750-gallon
chemical tank. one hundred and fifty
feet of hose, triple combination
pump, and other fire fighting appara-
tus. According to the terms OF the
contract the entire outfit must meet
all the requirements of the Board of
Underwriters of San Francisco, in or
der to secure for Elko a decrease in
insurance rates, as was promised by
representative of the Board at his
recent visit.
AS has been stated heretofore, 1t
will be necessary for the Board TO in
stall an adequate fire alarm system,
and this will be done as soon as the
Board determines just what kind is
cheapest and best, and which will at
the same time meet with the require
ments of the Board of Underwriters.
1t is understood that a reduction OF
about twelve percent in insurance
rates will follow the installation OF
proper fire fighting equipment, and il
is estimated that the money saved to
property holders in this reduction will
in few years pay for the installation
of the equipment and its maintenance
For several years the question oi
providing better fire protection has
been agitated, and at a mass meeting
several months ago it was decided by
a practically unanimous vote tha
it would be to the best interests o.

siding in Universal City, make up the
caste of a wonderful film entitled,
Actors from the Jungle" Aside from
the thrill that comes from seeing half
hundred ferocious beasts being
"bossed" about by a mere, frail hui
man, the picture holds an educational
value; many mouths were consumed
in making ready for this film; some
scenes took place in the preparation
that were not mere poses" In sew
eral places in the film itself the ami
mails become involved in some fero-
cious fights which incur considerable
danger for the trainer who separates
tiffs with death that are not pleasant
but still furnish the element of dan
ger that always adds to the attraction
of motion pictures. Laemmle's collec.
ton OF wild animals kept at Universal

world and film followers will find
more than an ordinary interest in this
picture.
