cord that few presidential candidates

cord that few presidential candidates have equalled.
 It is estimated that 100000 people west of the Mississippi river can boast that they have grasped the hand of the Democratic candidate. The tour required just month, and those who were with him feel certain that he shook hands with at least 5000 daily
 Cox is an ambi-dexterous hand shaker and has a good stiff grip in each hand. His system is to reach with his left hand to grasp that of an admirer, while another friend is holding his right-a movement that reminds one of the Australian crawl swimming stroke.
 This, Cox explains, prevents the crowds from wearing out one arm. Throughout the tour he invited hand shaking. He is very active and said that the handshaking afforded him some exercise, after being shut up in his private car for hours.
 CoX's western tour was one of the IllOSl SlltHuOuo GNCI hiININl bstNNIi " tt Presidential candidate, and there are many public men who could not have stood the strain. But the governor came out of it with a broad smile, despite the fact that he was a tired man when he arrived home. A tooth broken off on a plum seed, shortly before the trip began, troubled him several times and it was necessary for him to visit dentists in between speeches.
 The life of Presidential stump campaigner is a tjreless one Here is typical day:
 The candidates special train ar rives at the first stop about o'clock, with the candidate and most of those aboard asleep. A steam whistle, built to be heard for miles around, announc- es the candidates arrival with about five minutes of screeching, while switch engines join in the din by changing their bells merrily.
 Then a band congregates just out side the candidates window and be- gins to blare forth it's customary over lures, "The Stars and Stripes and Foverer," and Hail to the Chief. Although the candidate is not due to speak until ten o'clock, local com mittee swarms on the train seeking him, not realizing that the day be- fore he worked just double the eight hour limit
 After eating a hasty breakfast the candidate is Whisked off for his first speech and then back again to the train. Local committees again swarm through his car, and he is forced to lock himself up in his compartment to take a few glances at mail or tele- grams or to prepare his speeches. And so it continues until almost mid night. The candidate apparently is considered "super-man,' who never finds it necessary to eat a meal or sleep more than five or six hours And then he must try to sleep as his train rushes on for another day of the same show"
 Cox took the grind good-naturedly at all times and refused to worry when his friends told him hard day was ahead
 There is only one way to do and that is to take things as they come he said. As soon as you start to worry, you might as well quit"

OIL IN 'GL0BULES
IN WHITE RIVER FIELD

Drilling for oil is soon to be started
on White river, forty-two miles from
Ely, says the Times. and declared to
be undoubtedly the finest surface
showing for oil in Nevada. Tim Con-
molly and +. S. Giles, organizers and
main factors of the White River Oil
Company, have arrived in Ely from
Goldfeld. and will be ready to give
out some important news relative 10
the plans of their company. Oil in
globules in the lime. as high as a
tablespoonful extracted from the
vig-holes. is the phenomenon in the
form of a surface showing vouched
for by these gentlemen. 1t is the
only showing of the kind in Nevada,
according to Mr.. Giles, though in
other states they are known and are
taken as an unusually attractive in
ducement for drilling operations.

ELKO SHERIFF WILL
DESTROY WH|SKEY

Since prohibition went into effect
Sheriff Harris of Elko has been
steadily acquiring a big stock of wet"
goods, says the Free Press, until he
probably has the largest assortment
of liquor of anybody in the state OF
Nevada. 1t is stored in a room in
the basement Of the court house, I'M
der lock and key. the door being
doubly secured by a big iron bar and
paddock. There are thousands and
thousands of dollars worth of booze
from that composed of wood alco-
hol to the very best, aged and cured
in the wood and bottled in bond for
many years. But all this will be de-
stroyed, taken out and the neck OF
the bottle knocked off, while the gold
en- contents will gurgle down the
sewer. The sheriff has been waiting
a decision from the supreme court
as to whether captured liquor should
be destroyed, and according to a de-
cision handed down by the court at
Carson City, the liquor must be de-
stroyed at once.

s. P. REFUSES TO
CONTINUE SPUR

When the government had charge
of the railroads a spur track was
put in at Elko for the convenience
of the double tracking privilege and
for shifting freight cars from n
road to the other, says the Elko Free
Press. The business men found that
this was a great convenience when
a car of freight was shipped I've n
road and the unloading warehouse
was located on the other track. and
when the roads were turned back 70
private ownership. the merchants Of
Elko asked the railroads to continue
the spur tracks. and so petitioned
the roads and presented their petition
to the public service commission.
The Western Pacific Company has
granted the request, but the Southern
Pacific has refused, and the matter
is now in the hands of the public
service commission. The matter is SO
important that the Retail Merchants
Association called a meeting to talk
over the matter, and invitations were
issued to the two banks and the two
newspapers to be present. 1t was
decided to urge the retention of the
switching privilege.
Other matters of local importance
were taken up, and discussed. 1t
was brought out hat the association
has been in correspondence with the
national forest relative to building
a road up the Lamoille canyon and
to have it set aside for a national
recreation park. 1t is probable that
nothing will be done along this line
for another year.
In the matter of establishing
camping ground for auto tourists.
George b. Russell announced that he
would give the city sufficient ground
just East of the Elko Natitorium to
take care of all the autos that would
stop in Elko. He said that they
would give the ground free of costs
and would supply the tourists with
all the hot and cold water they would
need. as he had lately developed a
big supply of cold water al the
springs. 1t is planned to build
sheds to shelter tourists in wet wea-
Their. erect a laundry for the use Of
the tourists, and build a number of
cement cooking places.
