The Attorney-General stated
further that, when Aliens or Non
Residents fshed for purposes
other than their own individual
use. they should, in his opinion,
nav the licenses required by law.
| took it that he had reference to
Paragraph 4 of Section IA quoted
above; but, desiring that the prop
er Interpretation be placed upon
this Section, | then and am now
preparing to call for decision
from the highest tribunal OF the
State.
[ have no interest in the matter
other than the enforcement OF the
law to all alike; this | am under
oath to do. The Legislature con-
struets the law and it is my plain
duty to enforce the law as | deem
it, and it is not for me to say
whether the law is wise or unwise.
| hardly think it was the intention
of the Legislature to discriminate
in favor of non-residents of this
State, who enter the State not for
the purpose of fishing for their
own individual use, but solely for
the legitimate native fisherman
who pays his license taxes; and,
in many cases, these native fisher
men pay additional taxes, thus
contributing towards the mainte-
nance and upbuilding of our in
situations. Is it fair to our citi-
zenship that they should be taxed,
and nonresident who fishes for
commercial purposes relieved Of
the burden? What is such a con-
Istruction of the law, but to give it
a meaning that the Legislature
never spoke?
The native or resident fishermen
of Florida who pay their licenses
and seek to uphold the law, feel
agrieved and indignant that non
residents should enter our State
and enjoy rights and privileges
not accorded our own citizens.
Under date of January 14th,
received a letter from Mr.. Capo
Of Stuart, Florida, in which he
uses this language =
els it lawful for the tourist to
fish off the bridge without a IL
cense and sell their catch to the
markets, while the rest of us fish
ermen have to pay license to fish?
We fishermen do not think it is
right and wish you would please
look into this matter"
| think every person who fishes
for profit should pay his licenses
and not try to evade the payment
of such license. This is all / de-
mand, nothing more, nothing less;
but, II the Court holds that my
construction of the law is not cor
rect, then | will refund to every
such person every dollar illegally
collected.
| do not wish to appear arbitra-
ry IN the matter, therefore, / have
arranged to have the question at
issue passed upon by the Supreme
Court of Florida which is our
highest tribunal.

PINTO SUMMIT
R0ADWORK COMPLETED

Big Tractor and County Grader Put
Old Pritchard Grade in Condition
That Will Permit Travel Over 1t Dur.
ing Most Winter Months
The Board of County Commission
ers this week completed a new piece
of roadwork badly needed on the
Pinto summit which will eliminate
what has been in the past M of the
worst pieces of Winter road in this
section of the country.
Beginning at the top of the sum-
NIT and going sonth, using the old
Pritchard grade. the new road fol-
lows the high ground and the sunny
side of the hill for about two miles,
coming into the old road about half
a mile above the Evans place; follow
ing that and detouring again for
about three-quarters of a mile at the
Evans place, and then taking the
road out here again on to the old
grade and up on to high ground.
The Commissioners are also having
the old Pritchard grade repaired on
the Eureka side of Pinto summit, and
with these two pieces of new road
construction, Pinto summit will be
passable to traffic practically the year
round.
This work was done with Russell
& Minoletti's tractor and the county
grader and the record time in which
the work was completed proves the
efficiency of these machines.

THE INFLUENZA SITUATION
County Health Officer Makes It
Plain That Desperate Chances
Are Being Taken Here Through
Lack of Proper Restrictions
Being Observed

While new cases of influenza
are reported from all nearby sections
of this portion of the State, Eureka
has thus far escaped without a case.
Word has been received that those
attacked with the disease in the north
end of the county. with the exception
of George Shultes whose death at
Beowawe was reported Wednesday,
are now on the way to recovery.
Two section hands we're taken down
with the disease at Palisade the first
of the week. but no other new cases
in the county have been reported.
The cases in the vicinity Of Tonkin
are doing nicely.
From Hamilton where nearly the
whole community were afflicted, only
one death has occurred and all are
reported as fast recovering.
The last Reveille announced twelve
cases in Austin, but no fatalities.
At Ely, McGill. Ruth and Kimber-
ley the disease has reached an alarm
ing condition, several hundred are
said to be afflicted, with the physi.
clans and nurses unable to handle
the situation. 1t has been necessary
to turn the school houses at Ely and
Ruth into hospitals, and various kinds
of conveyances have had to be used
in burying the dead.
At Tonopah, when the disease was
thought to be in check, numerous
new cases appeared and of a more
violent nature, and a large number
in that section r now i'll.
At the weekly meeting Of the
Eureka County Council of Defense
held Thursday evening the influenza
situation in general was taken up
and discussed. DR.. Bremen, the
County Health Officer, stated that in
view of the fact that people of Eu.
reka were again congregating in sa-
looms and at other places and paying
no attention to the restriction against
thus assembling, he believed the ban
should be removed from all, and
that those attending the schools and
moving pictures would be little less
exposed than they are now under
existing conditions. He emphatical-
ly declared. however, his warning of
precaution regarding means Of pre-.
vention must be needed if the dis.
ease is kept out of Eureka, and that
the people could not afford to be
careless and take a chance with the
grave outlook.
The joint board of trustees of the
of the Eureka schools held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and, notwith.
standing the Health Officers permits
sion to reopen the schools, believed
they voiced the sentiment of the par.
ents and people in deciding to keep
the schools closed for at least an.
other week.
The management of the Eureka
Theatre informs the SENTINEL that
it is undecided yet as to when the
theatre will be re-opened and the
moving picture shows resumed.

WAR FUND GROWING
Subscriptions and Pledges Still
Coming In On Every Mail

Eureka County did not go lover
the top" as quickly on this drive a,
she has done on other war move
ments. and it is probably due to the
fact that personal solicitation has
been practically abandoned, owing
to the fear of spreading sickness
The appeal to the citizens by mail and
through the SENTINEL has met with 6
gratifying response, but not enough
has been raised to meet the quota.
Up to Friday noon, 1923 has been
collected or pledged and our quota is
$3.50. The time for us to raise the
money has been extended and every
one who has not already sent a sub.
scription is asked to do so as quickly
as possible.
The Victory Boys have pledged
more than double their quota; and
the Victory Girls have gone even
higher, owing to the fact that there
are more girls eligible to member
ship.
The names of subscribers will be
published each week until the entire
amount has been subscribed or raised,
and if your name does not appear
upon the list, please notify the Com.
mittee at once so that it can be as
certained whether the name was
