have a merchant carry your company
account for a period of several
months for several thousand dollars
without asking any interest on the n
vestment.
AS for the latter part of your com
~munication in the Sentinel we have
this to say: That any man who Will
fies the people of a community with
out being specific as to the parties for
whom the SANDER was intended,
places himself in the class of anony-
nous letter writer's and c~ringing
towards, and we feel that a news
paper should treat such communica-
tons as anonymous and consign them
to the waste paper basket.
We know of no persons thus far N
our community who have no legiti-
mate business of their own. If you
will specify the parties with ~derangei
and unbalanced brains we shall take
steps to have them committed to the
proper institutions. AS for funerals,
these come under he supervision Of
the county health officer.
Our egotism is not SO supreme that
we would feel justified in comparing
our people to the reptilian family. or
recommending either funerals or de-
p~ortation.
Deportation was tried some time
ago, on one Of us, by your then re-
tanned henchmen. but it did not work
and that party is still here and in ex-
cellent fighting trim.
Before stating any more We sug-
gest that you may be throwing \
boomerang.
We also wish to state that our
faith in Eureka and its possibilities
as a producer, is abiding. We feel
that her revival is due to her intrin-
sic worth and the demand of the mar
ket for her products and not to your
efforts alone. You admit spending
money here for five years past, and
yet Eureka showed no signs of re-
vival until the past year when mar
ket conditions justified it. You and
all other spectators will receive the
| support which you merit.
Our people are entitled to theil

The late Republican convention
gave a pretty good indication as to
what direction the wind Is going TO
blow this fall. Not in the last twenty
years has there been so much enthu-
siasm among Republicans as was dis
played. There were party leaders
from all over the state in Reno and
all brought the same m-essage-that
the OBJECTIONS from the Democratic
party this year are general and IN

1t would seem that all is not roses
at Eureka, Judging from the following
letters which recently appeared in
the Eureka Senliuel:
To Eugene Davis, Eureka Nevada.
Strive, the undersigned, citizens
of Eureka, take exception to your
quoted statement in the Sentinel of
April 18th, in which you state that
you have asked no, favors Of the
people of this community" and that
they have contributed nothing in en-
couragement or effort in bringing it
(meaning prosperity about" The
lack of memory for recen events is
an indication of a ~deteriorating mind
such as one sees in old age. Evidently
your memory for recent events is not
good. Some of us can recall very
vividly that during the past nine
months you have asked openly in the
Sentinel for the support of the peo-
pie of this district in the promotion
of your enterprises and this you have
received. People have bought your
stock, not because of a charitable
feeling toward you or your compan-
les. but to make money, just as you
came into our community to make
money.
AS for encouragement possibly you

article in question says:
I'm a previous campaign for the

III. V. Morehouse is being advanced
by his friends as a probable candi-
date for associate justice of the state
supreme court to fill the place of
Chief Justice Coleman, whose term
expires next January. Morehouse is
one of the best known attorneys in
the state and is a political war
horse" For years he played the
game and won in California and has
been in politics ever since coming to
Nevada to practice law. many years
ago. He is a Republican of the old
school. Up to the present time, four
candidates have been prominently
mentioned for the place on the SUI
preme bench, Chief Justice Coleman,
j. Emmett Walsh, district judge OF

can BdtHeTfHS W name anu
the one-ring circus the Democrats
staged on March O..
Ray Baker will be with us again in
a very short time and says he will re-
main In Nevada all the rest Of the
year, which probably mean till after
the next election. Ray, always con-
spicuous, because he always Is doing
remarkable things. has been running
true to form Of late. He has
succeeded in getting the Henderson
supporters all fused up" by his re-
fusal to come out with an emphatic
denial thai he doesn't intend making
an effort to retire Henderson from
the senatorial fight in the primary
election this year. The Henderson
papers throughout the state have lad
mitted' that Baker isn't going to be
a candidate and have reasoned it nj
out, showing, so they claim, in a con-
elusive manner that Baker isn't in
the senatorial fight and wouldn't cut
any figure against Henderson If he
should get in. But Baker refuses IN
strike at their flies. Now he's about
to come home again and it wouldn [
be surprising IL he'd %unloosen some
thing that wouldn't be exactly pleas
ing to the Henderson press shortly
after his arrival.
The Elko Independent hears from
Washington that Senator Pittman IS
coming to Nevada TO aid Senator Hen
derson in the coming campaign. Sure
he'll assist Senator Henderson in
every way possible, in case he IS
nominated. Pittman is a pretty goci
Democrat and undoubtedly will De
found putting his shoulder to the
wheel in the interest of the man the
Democrats nominate. But it's a pretty
safe bet that he'll be found back OF
Ray Baker in the primary election.
If the latter decides to seek the Demo-
cratic nomination. All this talk about
the close relationship existing be-
tween Senators Pittman and Hender-
son is pure bunk" That it is 50,
was clearly demonstrated when Pitt
man and Baker took out of Hende'-
sons hands the distribution of the
patronage that went with the prohibit
ton enforcement act and the creation
of the separate revenue district in
Nevada. The junior senator. accord
ing to reliable information, wasn't
even consulted when those federal
| appointments were handed around. |,
isn't hard to figure out in whose be-
half those Federal appointees will be
working in case Baker is Henderson's
opponent.
