IMMIGRANTS KNOW
NOTHING OF SOUTH
TO the Editr Of The State:

o Inc Edltf OF Inc State:
A number Of cases have recently
come to my notice Of immigrants in
New York, who ~ant information,
about the Southern states with the
idea of settling there. Last week an
Englishman and his wife, who are
well educated md have a. little
money to invest, asked me for advice
as to where they could go to get
thinking of goin gto California and
in climate and living conditions in
the South Atlantic states. Another
young Englishman, who has found
New York very difficult place in
which to become acquainted and to
live comfortably, wants to go South
if he can get a Job of any kind.
These cases are typical of the i'm
migrants who could be attracted to
South Carolina, if information about
the state were put before them. |

of times and hav" been impressed

They compare favorably with the
wave of immigration which came to
this country in the '40s and SOC.
Many Of them are well educated and
most Of them have good clothes and
carry suit cases instead Of bundles.
When it is remembered that steer
age passage costs about $50, it can
be seen that only the more thrifty
and ambitious class Of Europeans are
able to get to America under pres

AN EXPENSIVE CAMPAIGN

Chairman White, of the democratic
national committee, who is managing
Governor Cox's campaign, announced
a few days ago that the democratic
campaign crest is open for subscrip-
tons of any size" He stated that the
democrats will scrutinize the source
rather than the amount of contribu-
tions." A few days later the Inter
state Commerce Commission announ-
ced that it had given the railroads
$1,400,O 100000 per year in increased
freight and passenger rates.
A commission appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson a short time ago gave the
railroad employees $6O0,00O,00O annual
increase in wages and the increase in
freight rates is to offset this. In other
words the commission gave the rail
roads that sum and $S00,000,00 an
nually additional That simply means
that the American people will be taxed
81, 100000 for the purpose of buy
ing the votes of railroad employees and
railroad owners, for the democratic
party. Is it worth that much?

the opening price of wheat, the prices
are expected to be around $19O or
considerably below the prices that
prevailed during government control,
when a minimum price was fixed by
the government. Farmers had been
led to believe that when this mini
mum was far too low and that much
higher prices would prevail if the
government guarantee were taken
off. Many farmers petitioned to
have it removed. 1t was removed
some time ago and prices shot up

was begun, when the Chicago wheat

the Reno Gazette from Carson City
the constitutionality of the state in
surance law. adopted at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, which requires
all foreign insurance companies doing
business in Nevada to file schedule
or rates with the state insurance
commissioner each year and adhere
strictly to such rate schedule. was
upheld in a decision filed by judge

district court. Judge harrington

WHISKY SCARCE AT ELKO,
EXCEPT AT SHERIFF'S OFFICE

The latest quotation on whiskey in
Elko is twenty dollars per quart bot
tle-and it cannot be had even at
that price, says the Elko Free Press.
This information comes from the Of
ficers, who say that since the first
of the year booze is one of the
scarcest things that can be had, and
they are of the opinion that the high
prices can mean but one thing-that
there is but little booze in the
country. Sheriff Harris is a rich man
under these prices. as he has stored
in the strong room of the court house,
about 400 gallons of liquor of various
kinds that was made before wood
alchohol came into fashion, and for
this reason the sheriff is a very popu-
lar man and all sorts of tricks are
being worked on him in an effort to
get possession of the key to the
strong box.

.|LL|PAH OIL DRILL IS
NOW Down 24O FEET

Reports from the drill operating on
the property of the Illipah Oil & Gas
Company, received Friday, were that
the hole was down past the 200 foot
mark, says the Ely Record. Diflculty
in obtaining fuel for the drill boiler
has retarded the work, but with the
carload of coal, which was secured
last week and which is being trans
ported to the oil camp. it Ia expected
that better progress will be made.
Weather conditions are very favor
able and but little snow is in the val
ley, which is unusual at this time of
the year. Many visitors are expected
at the camp, owing to the good con-
ditions of the roads and the short
ride from Ely.
Returning visitors report that the
drill was passing through stratas of
oil and had struck strata of sand.
Samples from the drill hole were
brought to Ely and reports state that
oil could easily be squeezed from the
muck. The samples burned readily
when placed in the fire.
]. E. Amenda, president of the Illi-
pah Basin Oil & Gas Company, who is
now in Winnemucca, says that the
bringing in of an oil well at Moab,
Utah, last week, means much to his
company because the Moab field is
identical with the formation of Illi-
pah. The Moab well is producing
2500 barrels daily and has been sunk
to depth of 1900 feet. Mr.. Amenda
feels sure the performance will be
equalled or excelled at Illipah.

CITIES
DESIRE CATHEDRAL

Under a canon introduced by
Bishop Hunting before the convoca-
tion of the Episcopal church, at Reno,
legislation granting power to the
bishop to make an agreement with
any parish in Nevada to erect a cathe-
dral was adopted and it was stated
that this cathedral could be located
in any part of the state. Carson City,
Sparks, Reno and Elko have all been
put forward as wanting the cathedral
A committee to consider the erection
of the cathedral was appointed, as
follows: Rev. Ross Turman of Win
nemucca, It. l.. Withers, G.. F. Pope
and Rev. ii. X. Sanborn.
The convocation ended Tuesday
afternoon with the election of Rev.
c. s. Nook of Carson as secretary and
John w. Wright of Reno as treasurer
Delegates to the conference in Seattle
chosen were Rev. III. r. Sanborn, Rev.
Ross Turman, Rev. C.. s. Nook, f. W.

they have found out that this is the

tame as a common pigeon, and when
one comes too near they merely fly
far enough away to be out of reach

CAMPAIGNING FOR
HIGHWAY MEMBERS

After leaving Battle Mountain,
where the Overland Trail club held
its annual meeting on last Saturday,
Miss Carmen H. Jewett, secretary of
the Nevada highway association, of
Reno. with headquarters in the cham
ber of commerce. has arrived in Elko
to start membership campaign in
and around that section of the state,
according to the Elko Free Press.
Miss Jewet expects to remain a
few days in Elko and then continue
on to Ely in an endeavor to educate
the people of Nevada as to the neces-
sity of such an organization as that
of the Nevada highway association,
and expects to meet with great sue
cess in Elko and vicinity in obtaining
members. 1t is also the desire of
the association that the proper con-
nections be made in this part of the
state in order to facilitate tourist
travel this coming season.
1t is reported that great enthus-
iasm was shown by the people of
Battle Mountain and great many
members were obtained. which goes
to prove that the entire state of Ne
vada is finally awakening to the fact
it Is necessary for it to assist fully
in maintaining an association that
means much to this state.
1t is the plan of this automobile
club to have representatives in all
parts of the state where the tourists
can be directed, all being furnished
with cards of introduction to these
various agents, who will furnish ac-
curate and unbiased information as
well as to direct the outsider to some
of the scenic places in Nevada. In
other words the plan of the associa-
ton is to give first-class assistance
to all travellers. Up to the time that
the Nevada highway association was
formed the only means of assisting
the automobilist travelling over this
state was by sending him to the
garage man or the automobile dealer
and many of the people of this state
have not yet come to the realization
that Nevada, like California and
Utah. must have some real method
for taking care of the thousands of
transcontinental travellers each year,
and it is the earnest desire of the Ne
vada highway association to continue
to improve their organization and to
make travelling over Nevada a more
simple and pleasant matter than in
the past.

.ELKO GAME LICENSE
TO Be VOTED upon

The city of Elko's dreams about
fourteen hundred big, round simo-
ieums decorating its municipal jeans
each month as revenue from a high
gambling license have been busted
like thee proverbial circus balloon,
says the Elko Independent. The city
of Elko will now hold the sack and
get nothing from gambling revenue
until after the people decide the high
license question at the next municipal
election, all because the city council,
or a majority thereof, wanted to hog
it all'' in the words of the twentieth
century financier. The gamblers
put the skids under the recent high
license ordinance at the meeting of
the supervisors, and the gentlemen
who had already begun to finger the
silver that was to come therefrom
went home wondering how they ever
passed a charter that permitted the
people to block "a meritorious ordi-
nance" by such mere matter as
petition representing twenty per cent
of the votes cast at the last city cleo
tion.
Some time ago the board of super
visors met and passed an ordinance
levying a charge of one hundred dol
lars per table upon games conducted
in Elko. The gambling fraternity
represented that they were willing to
pay considerably more per table if the
privileges as other Nevada cities al
lowed them by ordinance, chief among
them being permission to remain open
all night. The gamblers pointed out
that this was the rule in Ely, Winnie
mucca, Reno and many other towns
in this state. The majority member
ship of the board of supervisors
would have none of it, however, de-
Gliding that the gamblers should not
only pay the high license, but close
up at twelve o'clock. The result was
that Perry Brumhill, with his attor-
ney. Carey Van Fleet, appeared be-
fore the board of supervisors with a
petition containing some fifty names.
which throws the whole thing up TO
a referendum vote of the people and
the gamblers will now play right
along without paying a cent into the
city Golfers until the municipality gets
ready to pull off an election. 1t was
only necessary that the petition con-
tain some seventeen names, there
having been but seventy votes cast
at the last municipal election, but
Brumhill presented about fifty for
good measure.

A wonder well was brought in short
time ago by Gilliland and Foster

MORE
ILL; CASES LIGHT

This afternoon twenty-five new
cases of la grippe had been reported
to Sheriff Springer by physicians of
Humboldt county as having developed
during the last twenty-four hours.
These make the total number so far
reported eighty-one, but recoveries
are not deducted from that number
All physicians say the cases are very
light" and no serious results are ex-
pected.
Ten years ago and twenty-five years
ago. 1t is interesting to note. Winnie
mucca physicians were kept busy on
corresponding date treating Winnie
muccans suffering from la grippe.
Extracts from the files of The Silver
State of even date, printed on page
two Of each issue, show that on Janu-
airy 20, ten and twenty-five years ago.
many persons were afflicted with the
ailment. but it was apparently worst
twenty-five years ago.
Considerable comment is heard con-
corning the wisdom of publishing
physicians reports of illness. some
persons contending 1t is psychology
cally right in that the public is thus
correctly informed and that it has
the effect of allaying exaggerated ru-
mors which might cause panic.
Others say such publiation is wrong
because of psychological effect and
an injury to business men because of
the tendency to "scare" people so
they will not come here for supplies.
Persons who advance these latter ar
guments also point to the fact that
none but metropolitan newspapers
are publishing epidemic news.
The meeting of physicians, school
officials, teachers. city and county
officials. held Tuesday. brought out
that practically all were in favor of
publication of the exact situation and
Sheriff Springer was named to re-
ceive reports from the doctors for
such publication.
