On the Recommendation of Game
Warden Fee, the Board of County
Commissioners yesterday extended
the closed season on sagehens from
July Is to August 10. According to
advices from all parts of the county
the new crop of chickens was very
late this year owing to the late spring,
and they will not be large enough to
hunt until the middle of August We
believe that the action of the commits.
sioners will meet with the approval Of
all true sportsmen. AS matter OF
fact we believe that II would be IL
wise thing to protect sagechickens for
II couple OF years. They are ripidly
disappearing and unless something II
done to protect them The species will
soon be extinct.

And now we must begin to make

reports on the old hospital showing
that IL was unsafe and entirely mace.

be raised by bond issue. and If The
hospital Is To be built within year
an election should be called at an
early date. There Is no lodging tho

The hospital must be built and there
should bc no delay. II is proposed TO
arrange the building so that part Of

Is splendid idea, for there IL no
place in Elko now to take care of pri.

would make the hospital practically

 The clerks from Navajo and Graham counties testified that the seals on SeV- eral ballot packages received " them had been broken, and the testimony showed that the ballots sent from two precincts in Graham county. had never been sealed.
 The clerk of the Gila county board of supervisors testified in regard to the ballots from Globe precinct No. g.. These ballots failed to arrive in Phoe- nix with the balance of the Gila county ballots and were later discovered in the clerk 8 vault, where they had remained for several weeks without his know l. edge in an unsealed envelope.
