Mr.. Kearney did not resort to such
simple-minded tactics, because he is
not of the kind of men who resort
to such charlatan methods, in the
first place, and is sufficiently inS
telligent to know that the people
are not so easily gulled, in the
second place.
The Kearney presentation was a
lucid one-nothing involved or hard
of understanding. In one hand he
held the claims made by Mr.. Scru-
CHAM. In the other hand he held
official state reports that unequi-
vocally disputed many Of the i'm
portant claims made by Mr.. Scru-
CHAM; and it is doing Mr.. Scrugham
no wrong for one to say that if
he is mistaken about doing many of
the things that he claims that he
has done, it is reasonable for one to
question as to whether he has done
anything at all of especial worth to
the taxpayers. That he did do a
splendid thing for Attorney
Thatcher, who attempted the thank
less task of trying to whitewash
Mr.. Scrugham, is not disputed.
He paid to Thatcher $4,000 of the
taxpayers money for alleged illegal
services" notwithstanding the fact
that the taxpayers had elected an
attorney general, laboring under the
delusion that that worthy was
entirely competent to give to Mr..
Scrugham, and all other state Of
ficials, all the counsel that they re-
quired.
Truly, that was "the deadly paral-
lei" that Mr.. Kearney brought to
the attention of the auditors at the
American theatre Thursday night.
gham'sIt may not have hurt Mr..
1t may not have hurt Mr.. Scru-
gham's physical being, nor it may
not have disturbed his mental poise
but it is an immortal certainty that
it sounded the death-knell of his
political career in this neck-o'-the-
sagebrush.
Under the heading, "Stream Ad-
Indications of Nevada" it is claimed
for Mr.. Scrugham that he completed
the adjudications of water rights to
the following streams: Humboldt
river, White river, Salmon river,
Muddy river, Rice Creek, Currant
creek, Clear creek, and Goose creek,
embracing a total Of 361, ,307.71
acres; but the official records show
that Mr.. Scrugham has done moth
ing of the sort. In every instance,
excepting two, the records show that
the adjudications have been made,
md completed-some of them thir-
seen years ago-by engineers, not
,amed Scrugham, but named, ac-
,ording to records, Henry Thurtell,
'E. A. Chandler, Emmet Boyle, Sey-
more Case and William Kearney.
And in the only matter of any
moment. in which Mr.. Scrugham has
been connected-the Humboldt
river adjudication-the record reads
unfinished, adjudication pending"

WILL ASSIST IN GETTING
IRRIGATION PROJECT

my trip to Winnemucca has
been beneficial in more ways than
one and l am highly pleased with
the progress accomplished and in
store for this community" said
Senator Tasker L. Oddie before
leaving for Elko yesterday morning.
MY visit here in person has re-
suited in a much clearer under
standing of the irrigation project
proposed by Senator ]. Sheehan and
John G. Taylor, which, if a permit
is issued by the state engineer to
entitle these men to appropriate the
flood waters of the Humboldt river,
will undoubtedly result in large
area of new land coming under
cultivation and will increase the
population here in great numbers.
The plan is feasible and susceptible
Of rapid completion, and the mere
fact that this community has men
of such high standing as Senator
Sheehan and Mr.. Taylor, ready to
complete the work with their pri-
vate capital, proves that it will some
day be realized, depending only
upon the question whether or not
the water right is to be issued. l
have great faith that the project
will go through and you may quote
me as saying that l intend to do
everything in my power to see that
it does"

BETTING ACTIVITY
NEXT ON PROGRAM.


"Straws show" Is q common say
ing, from whence the wind blows"
Too, it is generally agreed, that the
disposition of bettors to freely
wager their money on any par
construed as a favorable indication
pointing to the election Of that
candidate.
Local sports, It is told, are
eagerly grabbing all Of the Scru-
gham-for-governor money that they
can get in touch with, and some Of
the Miller bettors are said to be
offering odds to tempt the Scru-
CHAM bettors to get down their
money on the man that they feel
has chance to come out winner.
The mere fact that there seems
to be an abundance of money ready
to be placed as bets that Miller will
be elected, does not, most as
suredly, mean that John H. Miller
is going to be the next governor;
but it is most certainly a fact that
If the people all over the state are
Of the same temper as the people Of
Humboldt county are, John Miller
will be elected governor by an
overwhelming majority. Men who
were for Scrugham q week ago are
now out working tooth and toe nail
for Miller, and many of them are
betting just the way they are GO
ing to vote.
The Silver State knows of sew
eral men who are anxious to wager
Miller will be the winner and viii
gladly impart the information to
any Scrugham men who may feel
lucky, if indeed our own little flyer
won't cover all bets offered.

is not partisan political question
but one of business"
"Now and them" said Atkinson,
zone may hear a Democrat poll
tician say that the Republicans have
not given the soldiers square deal.
At this stage of affairs he is mighty
solicitous of the soldiers welfare
but he must admit that the Demo-
cratic party was, to say the least,
extremely negligent of the soldier
boys from November IL, 1918 to
March A, 1921, for not a thing
was done for the soldiers during
that long period of time, with a
Democrat in the presidents chair
and Democrats in virtual control
Of both houses, insofar as any
legislation involving relief for the
soldiers was concerned, and if they
made any move towards passing a
bonus bill they kept it a profound
secret"
A. Grant Miller, the candidate
for congress, made one of the best
of the speeches delivered and he
was roundly applauded, time and
time again. 1t scintillated with wit
and humor, and the clever thrusts
that were made at some of the
Democratic targets touched to the
quick some who are awakening from
stupor superinduced by mental
worry over tax problems.

FIRST SNOW OF SEASON
BLANkETED THE EARTH

Winnemucca had its first snow Of
the winter Thursday evening and
before very late in the night the
ground was covered with a beauti-
full white, fieecy blanket. 1t did
not turn very cold, however, and in
that respect this place was much
more fortunate than points in the
extreme western part of the state.
Reno, for instance, had full three
inches of snow, with weather cold
enough to freeze ice sufficiently
thick to make good skating.

Put 'Em To Work

Put 'Em To Work
During the past week an un-
usually large number Of hoboe-ap-
pearing men have drifted through
here and the marked thing is that
while most of them are young fel-
lows-mere boys-they have the
bearing Of bad hombres, shiftless-
looking, lazy, sneaking, coupled with
a certain species Of cunning. Ar
rangements should be perfected to
care for those pan-handling birds of
passage-and prey-when they hit
the town. They should be ruth
lessly grabbed and shunted to road
work, under the supervision Of .
hard-boiled foreman, given their
board and nominal pay commensur-
ate with the work they perform.
Industries all over the land are
clamoring for unskilled labor and
there is no earthly excuse for able
bodied young men being out Of
work.

ELECTION RETURNS AND

Arrangements have been COM

American Legion for q dance to be
given next Tuesday night, during
which state and county election re-
turns will be announced. Returns
will commence coming in about
$3.50 o'clock, it is estimated, and It
will be at that hour that the Legion

And it is a matter of record that
the official report of State Engineer
Kearney, made in 1876, shows
all of the Humboldt river work COM
pleted ready for final hearings; and
that the present preliminary order
filed by Mr.. Scrugham is an almost
exact copy of the publication pre-
viously made by Mr.. Kearney.
Three or four times in the past
month the people who have at
tended the political meetings held
here by both parties have heard
mention made of ''water adjudica-
tions," but Mr.. Kearney was the
first man to "get down to brass
tacks," and tell the water claimants
the plain, unvarnished truth, viz,
they haven't got any water rights,
nor they won't have until they get
into court and get an order grant
ing to them title. In other words,
Mr.. Kearney made it clear as the
MONDAY sun that the people have
been numerically ''kidded" out of
no small sum of money by certain
predaceous worthless, and the people
had best stop kidding" themselves
about water matters.

would be glad if you would lend
your influence in regard to the traffic
regulations along Barrancas Avenue
and Patterson streets (the street thai
leads down to Baskerville Beach.) There
are SO many speed demons until it Is
not safe for pedestrians.
Patterson street once safe for child

Harrison had charge this condition had
been quelled a great deal; but now it is
becoming alarming.
The present traffic officer spends a
greater part of his time in saluting the

will enforce the law on those who are
strangers or enemies. ...-
Some action should be taken and taken
at once before horrible tradgedy con-

give US an officer who will enforce the
law without fear or faver.
1t is strange to me that It takes the
