 A recent mail brought clip ping from the San Francisco Ex- aminer dated December 18th, con oerning the last will and testament of we'll known former Nomeite, Mrs Charles D. Lane, who came to the Nome gold rush with her husband and family in 1900 and was closely identified with mining in the .Kougarok and Solomon sections. It will also be recalled that the Lanes opened up the Hurrah quartz mine from which many thousands of dollars was ex- tracted, but the mine was sudden ly closed down and has never been operated since, due, it is said, to some kind of family misunder- standing. The mine was big paying proposition in the days of high freight rates when supplies had to be hauled by horse teams from Nome and it is to be hoped

During the past week much in terest has been taken in the munl- cipal and school board election to be held Tuesday, April 1st. At present there are three candidates for mayor and three candidates for city clerk; there are three councilmen lo be elected for the two year term and there are at least six aspirants already in the field, while for the one year term Louis Kurth is the only nominee. Up to today there were no new aspirants for the school board or other scity offices.
 Registration of voters is now 5oing on little livelier than usual and as the date for clos ing Of the registration book is tonight, city clerk Jacobsgaard will will keep his office open tonight for those who heretofore were un- able to register their names. It behoves one and all to register and save swearing in your vote on election day and giving as excuse tc the judges as to why you did not register when the books were open for that purpose. It is all so good plan to have all citi- zens register as civic pride. it will be broadcasted all over how many people in the city of Nome registered and how many voted. Get busy and help swell the num- Der.
 The voters will also be called upon to vote on the question yes CT no, as to whether they will continue to elect city clerk or leave 1t up to the city council to hand.pick somebody for city clerk. However, the Nugget be- lieves that the people as a whole will decide that they are more capable of electing their servants than body of six or seven men.

DEATH CLOSES
LONG CAREER OF
PIONEER SOLDIER

LOS ANGELES, April u. U.P)-
The ashes of Col Homer 7. Wheeler,
81, who died during a heart attack
late yesterday. will be sent to Eliz-
abeth, n. j., following services here
Monday.
A pioneer of the old west, veter
an of the Indian wars of the '70's
and of the Spanish-Ameriean war,
Colonel Wheeler's career embraced
one of the most picturesque parts of
American history.
Entering a traders store at Fort
Wallace, then on the outskirts of
civilization in western Kansas,
Wheeler became a trader.
He was commissioned as a second
lieutenant in the regular army after
he led a detachment of soldiers in
an attack on an Indian village.
Then Colonel Wheeler went with
his regiment to Porto Rico and the
Philippines, and continued to serve
until 1911.
He was the author of two books
on his life on the western plains,
"Thc FroAtier Trail" and "Buffalo
Davs."

MUST CONFORM
To STATE LAW
ON EGG SALES

Paul b. Mcclure, state food and
drug inspector working out or Los
Angeles, is in the valley at present
to see that the law of the state
governing the sale of eggs is rig
idly enforced. All retailers have
been notified that it is the intcn-
tio/ of the state TO enforce these
laws and have also been warned
that they must comply with this
law.
McGuire stated this morning that
while the quality of eggs in lmper-
ial county has been found to be
very good, stin there have been sew
eral instances where dealers have
failed to comply with the law and
complaints have therefore been fiji
cd against them. In FL Centre four
such complaints have been filed I;
five in Brawley; four in Calcxico /;
three in Holtvillc; two in Calipat-
ria and one in Imperial.
The sections of the egg law
which are being chiefly considered
at present is the one which states
that il is ''unlawful FOR any per
son to sell or offer to sell or expose
for sale to a consumer, any eggs
other than those of his own pro
duction, intended for human con
sumption without notifying By suit
able sign or label the person or per
sons purchasing or intending to
purchase the same, of the exact
grade or quality and size or weight
of such eggs, according to the stand,
ards prescribed by the state board
of health. "
The other reads: "Every person,
in selling eggs to a retailer, shall
furnish to said retailer an invoice
showing the exact grade or quality
and the size or weight of such eggs
according to the standards prescrib

THE LAST MESSAGE

On this, the eve of the citv election.
the Press gives last message to the vot,
ers OF FL Centre, urging first and fore
most that every qualified voter make it
his duty to go to the polls on Monday.
Cltlzenship is duty that should impress
all OF us, and the best way of appreciat-
ing the rights and privileges of a free
country IS by expressing ones opinions
at the polls
Therefore we say: "Be sure to vote
Monday" Find out your precinct and
your polling place, then cast your bal
lot and urge your neighbor to do the
same. Practically all of our political
troubles, municipal. state and national,
can be traced right back to the fact that
so many citizens remain away from the
polls on election day.
For the past two weeks the various
candidates for the city council have pre-
sented to the voters, their views on vari-
Gus matters that should be of interest TO
all
In supporting the Zurcher-Girard tic
ket, and In urging voters to support it.
the Press has been guided solely by the
belief that the election of these gentle
men will be for the best interests of the
city. In their signed statement, which
has appeared in this paper for the past
two days, and which is reprinted today,
they give frank and clean cut discus
sion of the only issues involved
There is no lodging in it; no attempt
to camouflage. The contention of the
Rice-Fawcett ticket that their opponents
sought to disrupt the city police and en-
glneering departments is shown to be
without foundation. Zurcher and Cir
ard have not only set the voters of the
city straight on this but have gone fur
ther and outlined their ideas on EVERY
appointive office in the city government
The police and engineering depart
ments are no more important than the
fire, water, health, legal or judicial
branches of the city government. On
these last five departments the Rice
Fawcett ticket is silent 1t makes no
comment on the Zurcher-Girard plat
form that the water department should
be Independent of interference from
other departments; that the fire depart
ment should be aided in every way pos
sible to increase its present fine state of
efficiency; that the health department
should be actively supervised and every
precaution taken to guard the health Of
this community; that the building codes
under which the city is now attempting
to function are obsolete and should be
brought up to date; that the city court,
where much good or much harm to cit
izens can be done, should be freed from
dictation by the police department, and
instead receive its cooperation.
These are matters in which citizens of
Ell Centro should be interested and the
Press believes they are. They are more
vital to the citys interests than the ques-
tion of who should be chief of police or
who should be city engineer-the only
things the Rice-Fawcett combination have
offered to the voters. The complete man
ner i'm which they have ignored all other
matters should prove to the voters that
their best interests will be served by
supporting John r. Zurcher and Emery
Girard.
Again we urge the voters TO read the
