ship, which was ordered placed on

Palisade, Nevada, March 2, 1918.
To the Eureka County Liquor Board.
Gentlemen:
deem it proper for me to
say to you that | have recently con-
sidered making an additional trip
per week to Eureka with a train,
but inasmuch as a majority of the
people here seem to be in favor of
having a clean town, which cannot
be run without saloons and a.
house, that demoralize NJ labor;
that unless they are put at an end
for the Summer at least, that | will
make no effort to run any trains un-
til the people of Eureka stand in
with US and clean up.
You can take it for granted that |
will do my part to keep my word.
and the people will be given an OPP
portunity to explain to the State Of
ficers why no railroad is running.
If the saloons are left running now
since a large lot of men are here to
rebuild tunnels, we will have nothing
but turmoil. Let the saloons lay off
six months or a year. and then by
petition, if they promise to be half
way decent. they may be permitted.
if you see fit. to pollute the laboring
man further.
Yours very truly,
j. E. SEXTON.
