If you hang up the receiver without do

may continue to talk or at least remain at
the telephone, wasting his time and keeping
the line from being used by somebody else.
The goodbye at the end of a telephone

ELECTORAL VOTES
CAST At CARSON

The three Republican presidential
electors for this state met yesterday
in the Office of the secretary of state
at Carson City, where they made the
canvass of the presidential vote and
at the same time chose one of their
number to carry the vote for Warren
G.. Harding to Washington, where it
is to be delivered to the president of
the Senate.
H. V. Morehouse and Miss Dele
Boyd came over from Reno. but Louis
G. Campbell, the third member elect
ed, could not be present. owing to the
death of his brother.
In the absence of Mr. Campbell, a
third member was selected and this
honor was passed to c. d. Ayres of
Winnemucca, who by the way Is a
newspaper man. Mr. Ayres. with the
liminaries. When it came to a choice
of the Nevada messenger to carry the
vote to Washington the two gentle
men OF the party handed the honor
over TO Miss Boyd, and she will be
among the very few women to make
the trip on this mission.
At the last general election the
question of compensation for this
travelling came up. Attorney General
Thatcher quoted the law. and 1t is TO
effect that Nevada provides no COM
pensation, but that the United States
pays twenty-five cents per mile one
way This pay is to be made follow
ing delivery of the vote to the secre-
tary of the senate, who yises the war
rant Therefore Miss BOYD will be
able to get home If she can but make
the trip, as the money is at the other
end of the line.

LOCAL BOOSTERS TO
WATCH OIL DRILLING

Arrangements have been made for
a special car to be attached to the
Western Pacific train leaving here
next Saturday morning at 11:05 to
carry Winnemueca people to Sulphur
to witness the spudding in of the
Black Rock Oil Company drill. The
car will be brought back here Satur-
day afternoon, arriving at 4:40
o'clock.
Details for the trip were arranged
by S. c. Cassidy, manager for the oil
company, and he promises q lunch to
those making the trip when they
reach the drill site. Each visitor
however, will pay his own railroad
fare.
A small oil boom is felt in Sulphur
now that his company is ready TO
commence drilling, according to Cas-
sidy. Another derrick is being erect
ed one and one-half miles west of
that town by George Noble and l.. ].
Olson. This rig will be standard, as
is the Black Rock Oil Company's,
starting with a fourteen-inch hole.

chicken RAACHERS
INVITED TO DEETH

Deeth, the gateway to Starr Valley
and Jarbidge, logical trading point
for the rich Mary's River country.
may some day be as famous as Peta-
luna for Eggs, says the Elko Free
Press. There is now being organized
a company which proposes TO build
twenty complete chicken farms with
ing a half-mile of the Western Pacific
railroad and within a mile of the
Southern Pacific.
The property has plenty of water,
and on each ten-acre tract there will
be built a comfortable house of three
or four rooms. An electric plant will
be installed and the power will be
used to pump water and light houses.
The plans call for stocking these
little ranches with chickens and SELL
ing the chicken ranches at reasonable
terms to prospective home dwellers in
Elko county.
The project will be under way
within a fortnight, it is believed, and
an advertising campaign will be un-
dertaken to acquaint people with the
possibilities of Starr valley and
Deeth. Each egg will be stamped
"A Product of Elko County" and the
Associated Citizens of Elko County
have agreed to see that fresh Elko
county eggs find ready market
Louis Klopsch, director of publicity
of the Associated Citizens, has prom
ised that cases suitably labeled will
be furnished to the people who settle
on the new project and that an extern
sive advertising campaign to make
known to residents of Elko county
that they soon will be able to buy
fresh eggs as cheaply as they now
can buy cold-storage eggs, will be
undertaken by the Elok publicity
bureau.

DAVIS CASE THROWN
OUT---TECHN|CAL|TY

H. X. Davis. proprietor of the Over
land hotel, was arrested Saturday
night and again Sunday by Constable
J. r. Nelson. and charged with a mis-
de.neanor. resisting a public officer.
When the case OF the State against
Mr.. Davis on this charge was called
In justice court yesterday afternoon
by Justice Richie a demurrer to the
complaint was filed by Campbell &
Robins. attorneys for Davis. c. e.
Robins appeared to defend Davis and
brought up the technicality in the de-
murrer that the complaint upon which
Davis was arrested did not state facts
Sufficient to cause a public offense."
Robins made the claim that the COM
plant did not state the exact duty
Constable Nelson was performing In
the Overland hotel at the time of the
alleged resistance to an officer, and
claimed that a pleading of the stat
iutes, in this case is not sufficient,
though in other cases it is sufficient.
Because Robins had not had time to
look up authority for his position the
case was postponed until 1850 am.
today
Prior to the pleading OF the de-
murrer yesterday effort was made to
postpone the case for three weeks,
while Davis is In California on trip,
with the understanding that Nelson
was to stay out of the hotel during
that time. This Nelson would not
hear to and he insisted upon imme-
date action, as he put It, so that
may know where / stand"
When the case was called again
this morning Judge Richie sustained
Robins demurrer and held the COM
plaint upon which Davis was arrested
as insufficient and invalid, and set
time limit of IL am. tomorrow morn
ing upon which Davis may be arrested
under a new warrant.
As this case has never come to trial
the facts leading up TO Davis arrest
by Nelson have not been learned. No
evidence of any sort has been taken.

RIGHTS OF PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATOR SET

In unanimous opinion written by
Chief Justice Sanders. the Nevada
Supreme Court has reversed the judg-
ment of the district court of Washoe
county in which it was held that the
services of Sardis Summerfield, at
torney for Public Administrator W. f.
Pruett in the case of the estate OF
Charles f. Forney. deceased, were
voluntary, and that he was not en-
titled to fees in payment.
Forney, when he died, had a few
thousand dollars on deposit in Wa
shoe county banks. A claimant ap-
peared in the person of half-breed
Indian girl who claimed to be For
ney's daughter. The Supreme Court
held her ineligible to inherit the
money. Summerfeld acted as the
attorney for the public administrator
in this case. Testimony as TO the
value of his services varied from
nothing to $4,000. 1t was held on the
one side that it was not duty of the
public administrator to appeal from
orders of the court; that it was his
duty merely to carry out the courts
orders. The district court upheld this
view and disallowed Summerfelds
claim for services.
In reversing the district court judg-
ment the Supreme Court says: I'VE
concede the jurisdiction of the lower
court, in Forney's estate, over the
subject matter and the heir claim
ant: but in rendering the particular
Judgment in the particular matter be-
fore it, it exceeded its jurisdiction and
the administrator was an aggrieyed
party, in the sense that he was not
required by law to do an act which
the court was not authorized by law
to order him to do. Uninfluenced by
the fact that the fund of the estate
was liable to escheat to the State OF
Nevada, the courts order afforded the
administrator no protection whatever,
and he was therefore entitled to pros
ecute his appeal. l."-[Carson News.

ANOTHER COUNTY TO
BAN BO0TLEGGERS

Elko county is next to follow Hum
boldt in the anti-moonshiner crusade.
The Independent says John Barley
corn and his antics thereabouts since
the prohibition law went into effect
will be. the subject of INJURY through
grand jury in the near future, accord
ing to decision of Judge Taber.
1T is very regrettable," continues
the Independent, that Elko county
should have taken her place along
with the other counties in the state
which have pooh-poohed the law and
made the voice of the majority of the
people ridiculous. While to a GER
tain extent we have been free from
some of the more fragrant violations
of the act that have been reported
from other counties, for instance from
Washoe, where jailer and the in
mates of the county Jail recently went
on a spree and two of the latter
escaped. we have nevertheless been
witnessing a constant trading back
and forth in contraband liquor in this
county. That trading has not been
confined to outside men, but has been
indulged in more or less extensively
by the citizens of the county and city.
In most instances the men who have
used the law for the purpose of max
ing fortunes have been Greeks, Ital-
ians, Basques. The Americans have
assisted them materially by buying it.
The Independent wishes to reiterate
its position that it is not a reform
sheet.
I'VE do not propose to attempt to
become our neighbor's keeper and he
can lap up all the stuff he cares to
so far as we are concerned, but we
are solidly behind Judge Taber in his
determination to see that the law is
not made farcial operation and that
its terms shall not be used for the
purpose of lining the pockets of Green
Back Americans whose real citizen
ship is very questionable to say the
least The only way TO enforce re-
spect for the law is by enforcing the
law itself. The grand jury method
has been most effective in all other
places where the same situation has
been dealt with

GAS ENGINE RUINS
CHANCE Of HEAVEN

Our old pal j. Holman Buck has
been having trouble with his gasoline
engine down in the office of the West
ern Nevada Miner at Nina. We can
tell by the way he writes. j. II. has
certain little way of his own for
telling things. This is it:
When the devil began to realize
that the reformers were making all
the people good by enacted statutes
and constitutional amendments, so
that the population of his domain was
in danger of falling off, he sent one
of his imps into the world to whisper
into the ear of some ingenious cuss
about inventing a gasoline engine.
He knew that no statute on earth
would ever save the soul of a man
who tried to run one. They are an
angel and fiend inearnate, and more
tickle than a movie actress. When
you want them the most then is the
time they are not there with the kick.
And when you have more time than
anything else they are as lovely as a
cooling dove.
They are as peryerse as a Missouri
mule. for we know from personal ex-
perienee. We have followed the mule
behind bull-tongue pillow in a field
of sassafras sprouts, but the torture
of trying TO start balky gasoline en-
CINE has this gentle pastime backed
off the boards. and then some.
No man who ever attempts to run
one of these aids to the devil need
ever have hopes of reaching the
pearly gates and slipping the glad
hand to ST. Peter.
For the past three weeks this plant
has been practically out of commits
sion and the editor out of temper on
account of the mulishness of the gas
oline contraption that furnishes the
motive power. or at least should fur
nish the motive power, according to
the specifications of the critter. But
it don't. Six men, two boys and a
brindle pup have taken turns trying
to coax il TO go; but nary go.
He'll has no terrors for he who has
ever twisted the tail of a gasoline
engine, unless II be the fear that he
might be put TO running one down
there to hoist sulphur for the fur
naees of Old Nick. Did you ever try
running one? If not, don't say that
ssa4s sreaa4 Christian till you have
tried it; and then if you pass the test
it means a specially prepared and
cushioned seat in the midst of the
heavenly choir. That's all We know
about gasoline engine. and we wish
we know a damsite less.
