BIGGEST RANCH.
To Be BONDED

1t is said that the Utah Construc-
ton Company is shortly to issue
bonds on its northern Nevada land
holdings, some of which are in this
county. The total acreage involved
in deeds filed in Elko county dur
ing late days is $4,000.
The Utah Construction Company
is said to own the largest body of
Nevada land of any outfit. The
total amount is said to be in the
neighborhood of half a million ac-
res. The land is scattered broadly
and extends clear up into the state
of Idaho.
Very little of the immense tracts
is cultivated except for hay cutting
on creek bottoms, the main resourc-
es of the company being cattle and
sheep.
Something like $50 men are en-
ployed during the summer by the
big company and much less in the
winter.
If the big land holdings were cut
up and given over to settlement
purposes it is claimed that homes
for a great many families would
thus be provided and that northern
Nevada would enjoy a substantial
increase in it's population.

over, and over again TO put on your

not to 70 out when il is raining, not to
do this, not to do that, or TO do this, and
do that, that makes every child, at

wife and husband desertion.
