ELKO ASKING FOR A
BRANCH FEDERAL COURT

"The fact that a branch of the
federal court of this state should
be held in Elko owing to the great
distances is the most convincing
argument in Elko's fight for a
federal building" was the state
ment made by F. L. Sanford, who
recently returned from Washing
ton, D. c., where he has been on
business trip.
There is no chance to secure the
appropriation during the present
session which ends March a, but
Mr.. Sanford was assured by his
many friends in both houses, as
well as the Nevada Representatives
that Elko comes in the lists of
cities which absolutely are in need
of federal building, and will re-
ceive consideration ahead of most
of them due to the reason men,
toned at the start of this article.
Mr.. Sanford paid quite a tribute
to Senator Oddie, when he stated
that Senator Oddie was recognized
among the leaders of that body, and
had undoubtedly made good. In
support of this statement, Mr.. San
ford said that Senator Oddie is in
line for the Craftsmanship of the
Mines committee of the upper
house, with there being little doubt
but that this important post will go
to the Nevada Senator.-Elko Free

Not Crazy; Just Of

Sheriff Gray received wire from
st. Thomas on Friday afternoon to
the effect that a crazy man had
taken possession of things in that
neighborhood, and they wanted him
taken in charge. He gave his name
as Joseph Messenger, as James
Quinn and as Joseph Gam, and, all
three put together, he took pos
session of the hotel st. Thomas
fired all the help and did about as
he pleased. Someone went in to
take charge of him and he COM
menced handing that individual
some of the dishes, one at a time.
Under Sheriff Wait, along with Mrs.
Wait, left Immediately on receipt
of the telegram and arrived there
about o'clock and found that he
had quoted down somewhat. On
the way to Las Vegas he became
laxative and spoke in a very OBJ
scene manner, despite the fact that
Mrs. Wait was present. You can
tell that he is considerably off, when
he took Frank Wait for his father
and the Gentry boys for his broth
ers.
He tells varied story, and says
he has been in love, been in the
army, the Second U. S. Cavalry,
and that he deserted from the army.
AS far as can be learned he has
been in the vicinity of St. Thomas
for couple of months and has
been working on the ranches. He
was taken into court Saturday at
$3.50 and before the lunacy COM
mission. Drs. Heweston and 5ulette,
and at the end of the questioning
DR.. Hewsteh said that he did not
feel like committing the man at
the present time, but recommended
that he be taken to the hospital and
watched for a few days to see
what symptoms developed, but that
at this time he did not consider
him insane enough to commit.
If the fellow is not crazy he is
going along the right lines.-Las
Vegas Review.

MAPPING A NEW NEVADA

Assemblyman Marsh suggested
something with his resolution calling
for survey of the state with the
idea of reduei ig the county DIVISION
from II to seven. This will not
prove particularly popular with the
politicians because it will deprive a
lot of them of the jobs 70 which
they have become welded and which
they intend nursing to the end OF
their days. 1t is not necessary for
man to be an officehoider to
stand for TIE perpetuation of office
for he does not know what day the
lightning will zigzag in his direction
and catch him with his arrester
projected to protect him from the
numbing effects of political cleo
trolysis. The Marsh bill hits the
nail on the head. If taken in con-
junction with the Fitzgerald reso-
luton to reduce the number OF
judicial districts there would be
such housekeeping that the dear
old pioneers would not know them
selves. Just think of a state with
$1,000 population encountered with
the cost of administering II coun-
ties, estimated at $5,023,308 for
1922, imposing tax of 65.25 for
every man, woman and child
enumerated in the state. This is
not very attractive object lesson
to exhibit to the settler who is
looking for a home. He comes to
Nevada, the last of the frontier
states, with the idea of getting
cheap land, escaping onerous civic
burdens in the more densely settled
east and finds that he must accept
load that would make the average
Yankee squirm at the thought of
assuming.
The Marsh idea is all right and
can be worked out to save the state
almost $2,500,000 a year, which is
something to consider. The tend
ency is to multiply counties rather
than diminish the number. This is
we'll organized for it is directed by
men of affairs and keen political
acumen who think nothing of the
cost and concentrate on what they
Individually can get out of the
partition. The best illustration of
the cost of living in Nevada is af-
forded by the county budgets filled
with the Nevada tax commission
for the year 1922, which are given

THE OIL BOOM

The presence of a prospective oil
boom in Elko is making itself felt
after the usual fashion with booms.
Rents are shooting skyward! Two
old-time residents of this city have
returned here within the last few
days, with the idea of going into
business. Upon casting around Tor
suitable location they discovered
in one case a place which formerly
rented for the nominal sum OF
twenty-five dollars is at present
demanding, although not receiving,
sixty dollars a month, and should
oil actually be brought in, the rent
is boosted another twenty.
1t seems to be human nature to
get as much as possible for any
given thing, regardless of the actual
value. 1t is that lust that caused
the Southern Pacific to build its
shops in Sparks rather than in
Reno; getting a little closer home,
it is the same lust on the part OF
local landowners that caused the
Western Pacific to erect its icing
plant in Carlin rather than in Elko,
which may ultimately result in NOV
ing the shops to that place. Many
other examples of that nature might
be cited.
Officials of the local oil company
are confidently looking forward to
bringing in the Elko pioneer well
at a not very distant date. 1t is
perfectly all right to prepare for
the boom which will result should
the well come in. However, instead
of raising rents and demanding ex-
horbitant prices for property in an
ticipation of this boom, being the
first step in the preparation, it
should be the last.
Elko will be here as long as Elko
county continues to exist and will
remain whether oil is struck or not.
1t is foolish to drive away pros
pective business houses in antici-
patton of boom which may never
materialize.-Elko Free Press.

Returning Prosperity
For the first time in three years
people were turned away from the
doors of the American theatre, ac-
cording to Manager Harry Oastler,
and in consequence some of those
who wanted to see "The Third
Alarm" at it's first showing last
night will have to journey to the
theatre again tonight, the picture
having been billed for two nights.
Whether the S.R.O. sign had to be
put out because people are once
again spending money freely or
whether it was because of the in
tense interest manifested in the
spellbinding picture that was billed,
Oastler is not prepared to say, but
the indication of prosperity seemed
rather satisfying to him. "The
Third Alarm" with its thrilling
story, is very favorably commented
upon by those who saw it last night,
which is a good sign that the house
will be well patronized again to-
night, and it is possible that new
attendance record for a single pic
ture may be established, which
would certainly prove that Winnie
mucca is not slipping backward, by
any means.

HIGH SCHOOL SAFE
AT SPARKS ROBBED

One hundred and twenty-five dol
lars, the receipts of the Keno
Sparks basketball game Saturday
night. was stolen from the safe in
the Sparks high school building
sometime Saturday night by anna
teur thieves who demolished the
safe with an axe and other tools
taken from the manual training
room in the school building.
The robbery was discovered when
the school house was opened and
report was at once made to Superln-
tendent Nicely, who called in Off
GERS. who secured finger prints and
also foot tracks of the operators
who secured the loot.
There was large crowd at the
game and the school authorities
believe that the robbers hid in the
building after the game and later
in the night secured the tools and
smashed the safe. The belief is
expressed that the robbery was COM
mitted by persons familiar with the
school building.-Reno Gazette.

A million or more square miles
of what is, at present, reproductive
land in the arctic and sub-arctic
regions of Canada are to be used
as a permanent grazing area for
musk OK, if plans of the Royal Com
mission of Canada mature. The
musk OK grazes on lichen, moss and
willow shoots and unlike the caro-
bou is not a migratory animal, but
grazes in much the same way as do
domestic cattle, moving only as
food conditions render this neces-
sary. The flesh of this animal is
nutritious and palatable and similar
to beef.
