POLITICAL POT BEGINNING TO
BOIL IN BOURBON

For the past several months there
has been an undercurrent of the
possibilities of new tickets being in
the course of formation in Bourbon
county for county Offices.
On Friday and Saturday the pot
boiled over and unofficial announce
ments we're heard of and considera-
BILE electioneering was INDUCED in.
The new Sheriff's ticket that has
been a matter Of considerable dis
cussion was handed out with Ed.
Bedford leading the ticket and Chief
of Police Fred Link and Dave
Clarke as his deputies. Mr.. Bed
for is a high-class gentleman and
popular with those who know him
and is now deputy in the office of
the Internal Revenue Department.
Mr.. Link, before coming to Paris
gained notoriety as a "strike-break-
er" in Chicago, then as a patrolman
on the Paris police force; and later
elected as Chief of Police Of Paris,
a position he now holds.
MI. SldihC VI hllIcISUuTS, lS d
merchant of that place and was de-
feated for Sheriff at the last cleo
tion by W. G. McCiintock.
The other ticket is to be headed
by J. o. Marshall, the present dep
uty in the Sheriff's office, who has
held like position for number of
years. Mr.. Marshall is popular and
efficient.
The deputies, it is said, will be R.
VI. Bob" Gilkey and Doug Thomas,
two genial and popular gentlemen,
who are both farmers and have a
host Of friends and will have a big
following.
The primary is nearly two years
off, and it looks like there will be
something doing" from now until
election day in this race.
Another office being discussed, as
to who will be the occupants is that
of the Tax Commissioner. 1t is said
that the deputy, John ]. Redmon,
will be a candidate against the pres
ent incumbent, Walter Clarke.
Other Offices being discussed are
those of the Circuit Clerk and that
of the County Clerk, but as yet no
cne has had the nerve to offer
themselves for the slaughter. Two
better clerks and officeholders. never
filled job. To beat "Bally" Patton
and BILLY" Webb would be an un-
dertaking, and it is hardly likely
that anyone will jump into the race
for these Offices without first giving
it thoughtful consideration and then
making up their minds, not to do it.
The Office of the Judgeship of Bour-
bon has been little discussed.
If Judge Stout decides to make
the race for Judge of the Court of
Appeals, there will likely be num-
Der Of candidates to enter the race

for the Circuit Judgship of the dis
trict composed Of Bourbon, Scott,
Woodford and Franklin. II Judge
Stout decides to make the race for
Judge of the Court of Appeals he
will be hard to beat in Bourbon.
Little has been said in regard to
the County Attorneys job or that Of
School School Superintendent, as
Dave Cline seems to be giving salts
faction, and no one seems to be
crazy to be the "boss" of County
Schools.
; However, let us nominate men to
fill the offices of Bourbon county
who can win-men who we will all
work and vote for in the regular
election. Don't pledge to anyone
until you feel that he is man who
can win in the regular election
there is plenty of time to consider
till August, 1921.

REVIVE OLD RUMORS
ABOUT R. R. DO|NGS

The new divisional superintendent
of the Southern Pacific railroad. L. l..
King of Ogden, is calling on business
nemucca today, under the experienced
pilotage of E. P. Born, local station
agent. Mr.. King was appointed su-
perintendent last month. This is his
first official trip over his territory.
He has been in the employ of the S. p.
for twenty-six years and has risen by
force of his own character. He is an
old Nevada man, and fond of the state.
Before entering the railroad service
he was a justice of the peace in Reno
and held court- there and at tsverdi and
Wadsworth.
Mr.. King did not talk about any
railroad changes, but his visit recalls
many rumors which have been in per-
sistent circulation. One of these, of
course. is the speculation that the
Inlay terminal is to be returned to
Winnemucca, whence it was taken
ten years ago in order. as it was said.
to equalize the two freight divisions
of this district There have been re-
peated reports that the Inlay termi-
nal would be moved back to Winnie
mucca, and the Sparks Tribune re-
Gently remarked this rumor seems
to have foundation of truth. 1t is
based on the claim that there is not
a sufficient water supply at the little
desert town, and no way to insure a
supply that will be adequate for the
requirements of the road"
Elko newspapers are responsible
for report that the Southern Pacific
company is watching the water situ-
alton in that city. Elko is to hold
special election in January to decide
whether the city shall buy the pri-
vately owned, waterworks there. If
the city buys, improvements are con-
templated. according to the same
papers, which will insure to Elko
large and permanent supply of water.
Taking the same sourse as authority,
it is stated that the Southern Pacific
will build 40-stall roundhouse at
Elko if the water situation is satis-
factorily adjusted.
Another report which has gained
some circulation is that double-track
arrangements will be made by the
Southern Pacific and Western Pacific
and that the S. p. will then have shops
and yards at Elko.
Not great deal of credence is
given these rumors that are confect-
ed with the Elko changes, but the
report regarding moving the Inlay
terminal back to Winnemucca is con-
sidered more seriously. 1t would not
be surprising if the Southern Pacific
should next year announce this
change.
