ELKO WILL HAVE
STREET PAVEMENT
Decision Made by City Council to
Take Advantage of Government
Road Aid in Paving Street
at Low Cost to Owners

Idaho street, Elko's principle resi-
dence street and rapidly becoming
recognized commercial avenue as
well. is to be paved from its termi-
nus on 18th street to the S. A.
Merkley home on the west intersec-
tion of Idaho with Third street.
The resolution and order necessary
to start the machinery rolling on
this splendid Improvement were
passed last night by the City Sup
ervisors of the City of Elko, says
the Independent.
The work will be commenced as
soon as the ground breaks in the
spring. All plans and specifications
have been completed and nothing
remains to be done insofar as the
city is concerned, to take advantage
of the federal aid granted for the
purpose.
Three Idaho street property own
ers in the persons of J. L. Keyser,
Seymore Jacobs and r. E. Rock
well were present at the council
meeting last night. All expressed
themselves as greatly pleased over
the prespect of having the street
paved There were no protests
registered to the paving plan.
The improvement will cost $3.50
per lot, according to the figures
submitted to the council last night
by Supervisor Albert l.. McGinty,
who has charge of street improve
ment in this city. This figure is
based upon an estimate made by the
Nevada State Highway Engineer
Sam Durkee to be more than will
in all likelihood be needed for the
city's share of the paving, in which
event a rebate will be made to all
property owners. This rebate will
probably be in an approximate sum
of SO per lot he stated. The figure
has been set high by the state high
way department in order to permit
of no miscalculations.
The entire paving job will cost
$4,000 per mile. Of this sum the
United States government pays 80
per cent. The city of Elko's share
will be in the neighborhood of &c.
900. This money is now available
to the city.
Property owners will not be re-
quired to pay for street intersec-
tions. A tax levy for this purpose
will be made. The intersections
constitute only small sum in COM
parison with the total cost of the
work and are but a small percent
age of the city's share of the en-
tire cost.

ALLEGED BURGLAR
ARRESTED TODAY
george Silvia Arrested for ALLEGED
attempt to Burglarize Meat
Market and Haberdashery
During Last Night

george Silvia, who is said bv
city officers to have arrived in this
city a few days ago as a part of
tne hobo contingent, was arrested
today by Chief of Police K. G.
Lamb charged with burglary of the
"innemucca Meat Market, operated
py W. II. Cooper & Son, some time
during last night. and is also sus-
pected of being the person who
also, last night, broke a key off in
the door of the gents furnishing
store of Bergwin & Gartiez.
AT the meat market the burglar
broke into the building by tearing
out the screening of a rear window
and breaking the glass. Inside he
secured two fountain pens, 25 cents
ieft on the cash register and a
pocket knife, and broke off large
piece of wood from an expensive
cash register in an apparent effort
to get 1T open. The damage to the
cash register is the greatest loss
sustained.
When arrested today charged with
the burglary Silvia denied any con.
hectlon with the act, but when
searched, the officers say, two foun-
tam pens and knife were found
IN his pockets. The fountain pens
have since been identified by their
owners in the meat market, making
a very strong case against the
young man, who appears to be
Portuguese. Also found on his
person was a large ring of keys,
similar to the one broken off in
the Bergwin & Gartiez door.
Silvia claims to be only 16 years
Of age, but is said by the officers
to appear to be a great deal older,
and they believe the claim to age is
made for the purpose of securing a
sentence to the reform school rather
than to the penitentiary. First de-
gree burglary, committed during the
night, is punishable by from l to
Ia years in the penitentiary. while
second degree burglary, committed
in the daytime, draws from l to
10 years.

WOLF BOUNTIES PAID BY
MISTAKE FOR COYOTE PELTS

Bounties received for the destruc-
tion of harmful wild animals fire.
quently furnish an opportunity to
filch money from public treasures
under false pretenses. The bounty
system, applied to the capture of
predatory animals and rodents, has
many disadvantages and is usually
much more expensive in the eco
nomic value of results obtained
than the plan advocated by the
Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
of putting experienced hunters on
salaries in infested territory. The
opportunity for dishonest practice
under the bounty system is well il.
lustrated by case that came to
the attention of 1.-THE. predatory ami
NAL Inspector of the Biological
Survey stationed at Olympia, Wash
ington.
The auditor for Grant county
after paying out much money in
bounties for timber wolves" de-
cided to send one of the wolf
pelts to the district inspector of the
Biological Survey for Identification
1t was pronounced a coyote pelt,
although somewhat darker and
larger than the average.
The hunter who brought in the
pelts claimed that the animals were
driven down from the timber to
the lowlands by forest fires. The
local coyote bounty is 81, while that
of the wolf is $15.

cision is latter complied with.
The last point, that the supreme
court is without jurisdiction, is dis
posed of by the statement that if it
is now without jurisdiction it was
likewise situated in the earlier hear
ing.
Attorney Dignan this morning
sent a telegram to the clerk of the
supreme court requesting that the
court order be held for ten days,
stating that within that time he will
file motion to vacate the decision
of the supreme court declaring Will
son to be elected. He did not say
upon what grounds, but apparently,
in view of the supreme courts lat
est opinion, denying the rehearing
on general points of law rather
than specific merits of contentious
made by Warren, it seems reason
able to suppose that the motion to
set aside the decision of the su-
preme court will be made on the
proposition that the court is without
jurisdiction. 1t is of course plain to
be seen that the effort to be made
is to get the case reopened before
the supreme court. that Warren and
his counsel may have opportunity
to present their contentious, and
the exact manner in which this is
accomplished makes no great deal
of difference. Warren still has to
fall back upon his appeal from the
decision of the district court, where
in he assumed the unusual position
of person appealing to the su-
preme court from a decision that
was wholly in his favor.
Attorney Dignan later today re-
ceived word from the clerk of the
supreme court that his request foi
a stay of ten days had been granted
by the court.

Who's Got Some Jerkey?-

Recently, at the behest of several
people, The Silver State inserted a
small wantad to find someone with
some beef jerkey that they would be
willing to part with in return for
coin of the realm. The ad attracted
attention, all right, as the want ads
always do. but in the wrong direc-
ton. The result has been that
other persons have called upon The
Silver State to be sure and notify
them if jerkey is found for sale.
Apparently the market for jerkey is
fairly good and The Silver State

ers if same is found.
