BIG CORPORATION
TO UNITY POWERS
FOR DEVELOP PMENT
GREAT COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE
FOR FuPsUiLpINe OF ELko
ALREADY ON FoUsDArIc.ls
SAFE, FIRM, AND LASTING

Several days ago The Independent.
heralded a get-together movement for
the upbuilding OF Elko County and
promised an early announcement OF
the beginning of the campaign.
So many eager questions have been
asked that the answer cannot be long.

The ElkO Rodeo and County Stock
Fair. capitalized AT $4,000. as The
nucleus OF the great amusement and
commercial corporation which will
serve as the parent organization OF the
get-together movement. IN which every
live citizen OF the county will have a
share.
The coming Rodco is merely an Incl
dental event In the programme. II
is q small affair In comparison with
the great events of the immediate fu.
ture.
The corporation will embody a stock.
holding membership truly representa-
live of Elko County and of the whole
State.
The committees of the corporation.
residing in various parts of the coun-
~, will be ever active for the common
good. and the federated resources of
the organization will be utilized in
every way for the upbuilding OF the
County In every respect.
No other commercial club. or cham
Der OF commerce. will be necessary.
under the plans outlined. The corpor.
alton will have a secrctary.director,
aoie, resouTceful and energetic. who
will work fourteen hours n day in the
development Of the several problems
OF organization.
Every good citizen, everywhere in
the county. or in the State. Is welcome
to purchase II limited amount of stock
and become an active member of this
wideawakc enterprise.
AS soon as preliminary organization
has been effected, and the membership
total Is satisfactory. programme of
development OF the properties now
owned by the company will be started
with vim.
The Rodeo grounds, now available.
consisting Of about 100 acres. are TO be
transformed into beautiful nmuse-
ment park. with a grand pavilion. the
best race.track In this section. "A chute

All attractions will be established
with profits Of the company. II will

desirable cooperative Improvements.
Conservative business men believe the
stock Will pay fifteen percent, perhaps
more, within couple Of years.
Plans now being perfected assure
success and the great Roaco OF 1917
ought TO attract at attendance of 25..
900 PERSONS.
The progressive and substantial
raRchmeB of Ruby Valley and other
great farm sections of the county are
enthusiastic for the progress of this
great enterprise. They arc inquiring
eagerly concerning the stock and ways
and means OF progress. The move.
meHt is TO be an unique and com.

ANOTHER HUGHES
YARN IS NAILED

MILLDOR0, Va, Aug. 22.--In a re.
cent speech. Charles r.. Hughes, who
calls himself 100 percent candi.
date" charged President Wilson with
having replaced Henry N. Clapp, "for.
merly confidential secretary" to John
G.. Carlisle. secretary OF the treasury,
with n "Tammany henchmnn." The
quotations are Hughes's words.
o. o. Stealey, formerly of Washing.
ton, d. G.. who for many years was
closer TO Mr.. Carlisle than any other
man, issued statement today in
which he says:
Mr. Hughes's abatement Is absolute.
ly wrong. This little fellow Clapp had
a subordinate position In the Treasury
when Mr. Carlisle was secretary. He
never was the confidential secretary
TO John O.. Carlisle. As a matter oi
fact, Mr.. Carlisle never had q conf
dental secretary. His son Logan and
myself attended to all his confidential
matters. Ciapp was never In the con.
fidence OF either OF the three OF us.
This false charge by Hughes only
shows what little things supposedly
big man takes up to make a campaign
argument"

To the experienced observer of pol
itics, the appointment of congress
sional and legislative commissions Of
investigation has it's farcica! sides.
These commissions frequently serve
useful purposes in giving employ
ment to worthy politicians (of ones
own political party of course) who
for reasons for which they were not
to blame are temporarily out CT a
job. They hold long and tedious
sessions, collect lot of material that
everyone knew before. and have it
bound up in black covered books,
which either gather dust in unvisited
library easements, or go direct to the
junk shop.
So the National Education Associ-
alton at it's recent con sention may
have provoked a smile by passing
resolve asking Congress TO sanction
a commission to investigate The sub
ject named in the title Of this arti-
