REPEAL BOUNTY LAWS
Old Laws Killed and New
Ones Placed in Force the
Past Week.

County Clerk Mary Hong and
Warden Oberholtzer have received
notice from the state conservation
commission that Chapter 264, laws
of 1923, repeats the old bounty law
and enacts an entirely new bounty
law. The new law requires that
the carcass entire with the hide
attached must be exhibited to a
county clerk or a conservation
warden. A new form is being
printed covering the affidavit to
be executed by the claimant, the
certificate to be issued by the
clerk or warden. On the back of
this form will be printed the
bounty laws and some instruc-
lions.
The circular received contains
the following information on the
new nonresident fishing licenses.
/. Persons who bought So icen-
ses under the old law are entitled
to fish during the season under
such license and to use the three
COUPONS. Many persons ask if
non-residents who bought an old
form 81 must now buy a new form
of So license, and if the old cou-
pons are unlawful. This is not
the case. When the So and So
coupons was law and person
purchased such license at that
time, he is entitled to complete
the seasons fishing under the IL
cense and to make legal use of
the three coupons.
2. This is to answer the often
asked question as to the issue Of
q duplicate to nonresident fishing
license. The law provides for the
issue of but one class of duplicate
license, i. e., hunting license. If a
nonresident fishing license is lost
the owner is simply "out of luck"
the same as though he lost a S.
bill. He will have to buy another
license if he wishes to continue
fishing.

in turn, however. would probably
have objected 10 a statue II a nfan
milliner in that location.
There ma be another reason why
President Harding fasors replacing
the Jackson statue with the partieu-
lar one of George Washington. That
particular Washington statue is Re
ported To be shot full Of holes by
chemical disintegration resulting
from The weather, and in this respect
would harmonic with the admins
ltration on the other side OF the ave.
nue..
Now that a plan for RELOCATING the
statues of democratic patriots has
been inaugurated il might be sug-
gested that the statue of General
George II. Thomas be taken out Of
Thomas circle and sem to Chew
Chase or Anacostia and replaced by
a statue of Brigadier General Saw
yer. our greatest homeopathic gen
Ieral. General Thomas. as everyone
knows. was only a democrat. He was
also the only major general of the
civil war who never lost a battle.
The plan need not be confined
merely to the removal of the effigies
of our great democrats, but might be
extended to the eradication and an
Inhalation Of all their works. Pres
.ident Harding could begin this great
patriotic enterprise by r%enouncing
the doctrine of that oid-fashioned
democrat, James Monroe. he could
held an auto da fe and burn the
writings of Thomas Jefferson. inelud.
ing the Declaration of Independence.
Il may be set down. merely as {
coincidence, that the plan TO put An
drew Jackson in the background
should have been suggested right at
the opening of the spring millinery
season.

ROTTEN MAIL SERVICE.

The White Pine News has neyer
criticised Frank l.. Pierce or n
other mail carrier in this county.
Last week il published an interview
with r. +. Matthias d~enouncing the
system under which the star route
mail is handled. 1t has published
the same on its own account in great
err detail previously. and will con
tinue to do so until the system is
changed.
In this weeks Ely Record appear
ed a purported letter from Mr.. Pierce
in which he takes these criticisms of
the system as personal to him The
News knows that Mr.. Pierce Is not
responsible for the system and be-
lieyes further that IL he were at the
head of the postal department he
would correct this deficient star
route service forthwith. But, a. 1t
unfortunately happens. he is not at
the head Of the department and II
will take some considerable newspa.
per agitation before the aforesaid
rotten service Is corrected.
By rotten service is meant. for one
thing. the fact that letters from The
Cleveland ranch postofice. which on
an air line Is only seventeen miles
from Ely. must go north fifty miles.
west twenty miles and south again
6ftv miles, or 100 miles In all, to

land ranch is twice a week. III lies

On the way back to Cleveland

FIRST CITIZEN OF NEVADA.

william y. MeGill, as lens stand
fngs are measured by their WORKS,
was the first citizen of Nevada. The
White Pine News SO rated him al
the hour of his death, one week ago
last night. and cannot in truth and
conscience qualify that statement.
Here vas a man who never sought
public office, but. on the other hand,
many times stunned and refused II.
His life achievements were those Oh
n private citizen in every instance,
and that those achievements brought
him into more prominence and gave
him a broader influence upon me
life of the state, in spite OF his mod
est and retiring nature, than any ny
ing citizen in private life, instead OF
d~isnroying the assertion. furnishes
its proof and aceomplishes its dem-
onstration.
Possibly his dominant Characters
tie was his obliviousness to either
the approval of others or otherwise
for he never looked upon himself as
an object of public interest ana de-
meaned himself with the same utter
lack of hypocrisy. for Mr.. Mcelii al
all times. to all men, was just what
he was, and last of all things was he
n pretender. Yet he was ever
thoughtful OF the feelings, rights and
welfare of others and If he varied
from this course in life. which ma
ture and not intent outlined for him,
il was on the side OF those less
blessed with worldly bounties than
himself
Mr.. MeGill's prominence in tals
state was not through either selfa
assertion or the lottery of a turn or
the political wheel Of fortune Ii was
the progressive growth of a ffty-two
years of minding his own business
and not ever as much as once mo-
testing or treading upon the rights
of others.
II was not because of his wealth
that he was Nevada first citizen.
for the state has several men who
far exceed him i'm that respect. /;
wass because of his stalwart man
hood and genuine humanity, OF the
able conduct of mis- affairs. the fac.
that he would not hear TO a shady
transaction, that he kept his record
clean, his credit untarnished, his
honor ursullied. II vas because he
did none of those things for effect
but did them because they were right
and because it was his nature to do
them. One of the reasons was be-
cause of his charity. and, more than
that, because of his hiding that char
ity. It was because of the fact that,
though he occupied in White Pine
county the position of prestige that
he did, he never felt that ID deyolyed
upon him to run things or to as
much as lift a finger to dictate what
his neighbors should do Or think.
The News differed with his polit.
zeal views, but most of all IL hopes
that il can be broad enough 10 see
the good, aye. the greatness, in 9th.
ers. He was not one of the first cit
liens but the first citizen of Nevada
as measured by life achievements.

RELEGA TING DEMOCRATIC
HEROES.

President Harding is said TO fayer
the plan tc remove the equestrian
statue of Andrew Jackson from La.
Fayette square, which faces the
white house on the opposite side OF
PENNSYLVANIA avenue. and To replace
II with an equestrian statue OF
George Washington Indeed II would
appear that the idea originated from
comments by the president hifnseii.
The Jackson equestrian statue las
adorned that particular square. orig
inally known as Jackson square, Tor
the last seventy years, and Mr.. Hard
ing is the first president TO object
to its location.
1t Is auite natural that the Hard
ing type would not admire the Jack
son type. According to the Spring
field Republican, President Harding
fights like a man milliner,' and a
mar who fights like a man miliiner
cannot be expected to admire a MAI
who fought like Andrew jackson.
There have been many republican
presidents In the white house, some
of them more or less partisan. who
must have looked upon that statue
OF Old Hickory with admiration and
pride-Grant. Garfield. Harrison,
Mckinley. Roosevelt--but they wi
