COUNTY OFFICIALS TO
SERVE FOUR YEARS

There seems to be a diversity OF
opinion among a number Of citizens
as to the length Of time the various
county and township officials to
be elected this Fall will serve. For
the benefit of those who have not ac-
cess to the statutes. we republish the
law enacted at the last session of the
Legislature. and here It is, found on
page 90, statutes of Nevada 1921-22:
Chapter 5e-An Act to amend sec
ton II of an Act entitled can Act
relating to officers, their qualifca-
tons, times of election, APP

GAIA PREDATORY ANIMALS
NEvADA'S YEARLY TOTAL

Federal and State hunters and trap
pers working under the supervision
of Il. r. Sans of the United States
Biological Survey. took a total of
6414 predatory animals in Nevada,
during the fiscal year ending June
81, according to an annual report Of
Biologist Sans to Washington head
quarters, says the Reno Journal.
An active coyote campaign during
the Summer and Winter resulted in
5577 Of these sheep-eating animals
being trapped. poisoned or shot. Bob
cats, rated as second among Nevada's
predatory animals, lost their lives to
the total of S35, and two mountain
lions were killed during the year
FURs BRING BIG SUM
Sales of skins of predatory and fur
bearing animals materially cut down
the expense to the State, 1641 skins
being shipped to eastern fur markets.
Pelts including those Of badger, bob
cats, skunk. civet cats and racoon,
brought $~7,436.22. OF the number
shipped, 1914 furs valued at $40 re-
main unsold.
The net cost to tn State of Nevada
for each M of the GAIA predatory
animals taken is estimated by Bio
logist Sans at 1886. This figure is
not the actual cost of the entire work,
as Federal expenditures are not in
cluded.
That the poison squad did effective
work in the determination of preda-
tory animals, Sans says, is shown
by the small loss of lambs on the
Landing grounds this Spring. One
hundred and one thousand, four hun
dred and thirteen bats were placed
by State and Federal men and 1920
strychnine capsuls were apportioned
to stockmen for distribution around
sheep and cattle carcasses destroyed
by coyotes.
While the number of coyotes de-
stroyed by this method by actual
count of the hunters was 1855, stock
men from various parts Of the State
reported that many more were found
which had not been counted.
In Washoe County, about twenty
miles north of here, eight dead coy
otes were found around the carcass
of a sheep in which poison had been
placed.
1t has been the policy of the de-
partment to use poison for extermi-
nation in freezing weather when trap
ping is impossible.

EUREKA'S OPPORTUNITY
TO TAKE ON NEW LIFE

F. L. Torres. president of the Eu-
reka-Croesus Mining Company. met
with the board of directors Of the
Eureka County Chamber of Com
merce at its regular meeting held
Thursday evening and outlined. as
elsewhere set forth in this issue. the
future plans Of his company looking
to the active development of It's large
properties located in this district.
Mr.. Torres went very comprehensive
ly into the future plans of his com
panies and recited some of the diff
culties encountered in the past in
perfecting these plans, and among
the instances cited made mention of
the fact that one of the greatest
handicaps he had to overcome was
the derogatory reports SEN out by
residents of this district p~urporting
to give conditions existing in his
properties. as well as general condi-
tions prevailing in the entire district.
While everybody realizes that ~
cry mining community has its pessi-
mists and knockers, who can see
nothing good in anything that any
body else outside of it's own particu-
lar clique tries to do for the upbuild-
ing Of the community and the bring
ing in Of new life and capital, it is
a de%plorable fact that Eureka has
more than her share of this class of
citizens. In the past many meri-
torious projects have been blasted
by what purported to be inside in
formation given with the injunction
not to say told you. 1t is time
that our citizens wake up and realize
that at this time opportunity is knock
ing al our doors as before. and
II we will all stand together and work
together for the upbuilding Of the
camp; not be sneaking around cor
ners and knocking the other mans
game, we will all receive a share of
the added prosperity that is bound
to follow.
Mr.. Torres and his associates are
coming among us to spend their
money and develop their properties,
and their confidence will inspire 9TH
ers to come In and look us over with
the prospect that additional capital
will be invested here, from which we
will all derive material benefit and
at the same time make our town a
better place to live in and raise our
children. Activity here in a mining
way means an increased population,
and a larger population means that
new homes will be required, new
schools needed, better civic condi-
tions. street improvements. and the
innumerable requirements that go to-
ward making up a live. progressive
community.
Now is the time for every resident
Of Eureka County to forget personal
differences and personal animosities
and work for the larger interest of up
building the place they call home.
Forget that they know anything
but to boost our mines. boost our
town, boost our County. and boost
our State. Only by SO doing in fact,
can we succeed and share in general
prosperity.

THE PROHIBITION POLL,
AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

The Literary Digest instituted a
poll some time ago which is unique
in hat it asks for a declaration OF
opinion from ten million American
voters on the subject of prohibition
and soldier bonus, and on a card
appended to the voting ballot sub
mitted is a printed importantly to
subscribe to the great news com
pendulum.
No previous informal attempt to
determine sentiment in the United
States attracted the attention now
focused on the Literary Digest's
efforts. Dealing with two topics, adj
mittedly of the most engrossing pub
lie interest, the results Of the vote
tabulations will be watched in every
American community and 1t is not
likely that the correction of the re-
suits obtained will be questioned.
The soldier bonus expressions run
v and the earlier forecast by po-
litical analysis that the sentiment Of
the United States is evenly divided
on the proposal seems fairly certain
of confederation by the poll. 1t is
the soldiers present-day misfortune
that the half of Americas voters that
stands arrayed against their benefits
is the big half; in other words the
class that lives in large centers of
population and controls the
of wealth and publicity and enjoys
the power that goes with this con-
troll.
Liquors and sentiment for and
against them seem destined for
change II the Literary Digest poll
can be accepted. Even though the
poll has proceeded but a short time
and represents but one-fftieth of the
total of ten million expressions hoped
for by the auspice instituting the
movement, yet the approximately
two hundred thousand voting declare
in no uncertain name against the
~present-day interpretations of Vol
steadism.
Last weeks figures were as fol-
lows:
Total for Enforcement. 32,445; To-
tai for modification, 1866; Total
for repeal, 22 SAT. Per ent of to-
tai for enforcement, 34.3; per cent
of total for modification, 41.9; per
cent of total for repeal, 23.S.
This week shows no ~appreciable
change in the ratio Of expression,
being as follows:
Total of enforcement, 1859; to-
tai for modification, S5,151; total for
repeal, 45.646.
The Boston News Bureau, com
menting on the prohibition subject
said:

Logging" have been enough to stir
discomfort with 30 summary and
abrupt a measure. The suspicion is
evidently strong that a less drastic
law might mean a greater average of
sobriety and also a contentment with
real temperance.
Back of this, and doubtless add
ing to the lamentable lack of usual
reverence for statute law, is the com-
mon feeling that a physiological abb
surdity has been perpetrated in hav-
ing Congress solemnly decree that

strength and vigor of the editorials,
THE APPEAL is acknowledged by
the press to be one of the most pow

Adams was absolutely fearless in
his denunciation of those he be-

policies were inimical to the good of
all Americans. s:~. T..
In September, 1911, on the occasion
of the twenty fifth anniversary of his
editorship of THE APPEAL, in his
address before several hundred of his
friends who had gathered to help
him celebrate the occasion he said:
Little did I think when I came here
in 1886 and did some work on THE
APPEAL the same day of my arrival,
that I would be here twenty-five
years afterward and still be working
on THE APPEAL. But one never
knows what Fate has in store for
him. If, however, I have earned the
