Ice Jam Cause. Excitement

Ice Jam Causes Excitement
We are informed that last Friday
there was considerable CONSERVATION
caused in the Metropolis country by
an ice jam. A large volume of
water was noticed coming down the
canyon and at first it was thought
that the large dam in Immigrant
canyon had broken and there was
great excitement amongst the resi-
dents for a short while. An investi-
CATION showed that the trouble was
caused by an ice jam. The ice
forced the tower to lean at such an
angle that it opened the headgate
and let the impounded water of the
dam flow through. The loss of
water is not placed at any great

Sixty Years in This Country

Sixty Years in The Country
M. Cohn, the Mine street mer-
chant, celebrated the Goth anniver-
sary of his arrival in New York,
where he landed at the tender age
of 10. His introduction to the
country was an offer of $500
bounty to take the place of bust
ness man in the fighting line, but
the boy had no aspiration for a
military career and pleaded that he
was too weak to be accepted rs a
substitute for anybody. Mr.. Cohn
says he was so slender that he and
a cousin had no trouble in buying
half-fare tickets by steamer and
the Panama railroad at cost of
$50 each for the trip to San Fran
cisco. At that time greenbacks
were quoted at 33 cents.-Tonopah

Elko Wants Ambulance

Elko wants AMBULANCE
The American Legion Post of
Elko is making an endeavor to OBJ
tain for the city Of Elko another
convenience, the need for which
has long been felt. The local body
of ex-service men has elected to at
tempt to provide the Elko county
hospital with an ambulance, a con-
venience that is considered a neces-
sity at most institutions of this
sort.
The war department has on hand
at present several ambulances all
of which are practically new, which
were bought during the war, but
never used owing to the sudden
ceasing of hostilities. There is little
doubt that a better opportunity
could not be found to place at least
one of these than in the city of
Elko and the DICTIONARIES are bend
ing every effort to secure one OF
the extra pieces Of equipment fol-

THE BUM" SITUATION

The "bum" situation in Elko is
getting beyond the stage where
tolerance is the best policy. One
can scarcely walk a block in the
business section Of the city without
meeting with at least three of the
travelling public" and having them
siding up to you with whispered
Mister, gimme enough for a cup O.
coffee, won't go" This is sitaa-
ton which is not tolerated in larger
cities, and in a place the size of
Elko, where it is the easiest thing
in the world to tell one of these
individuals at a glance, the citizens
of the city, most certainly should
not be forced to undergo the most
irritating experience of being mi,
up for feed" two or three times
within the block. This is most GER
tainly one of the greatest nuisances
in the city. at the present time and
should be dispensed with in some
way or another.-Elko Free Press.
