Do Not Forget the Soldiers.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In justice 10 those who have so gener-
ously sent books and current literature TO
me for shipment TO the soldiers in Cuba
and Porto Rico / wish to state that.
through the courtesy of the depot quarter
master, 1 have forwarded fourteen boxes
of reading matter, or about 1900 maga-
zines, besides other books and papers.
Among those to whom / have addressed
these We're the following regiments of vol
unteer infantry: 9th Massachusetts. then
stationed at Utuado. Porto Rico; 18th Iowa
2U2d New York, 18th Pennsylvania. Sd New
Jersey, 4th United States Volunteer In
fantry, Company l, 9th Volunteer Infan-
try; Troop b, 9Th Cavalry, and the 10th
Regular Infantry.
Quotations from some of the letters of
thanks which l have received will give
the readers of The Star an idea of the
value of this work. Lieut. Col. George NJ
Cole, 4th United States Volunteer Infan-
try, at Manzanilio, Cuba, says: Gould
you have seen the expressions and eager
ness with which the men availed them
selves of your kind gift you would, am
sure, have felt amply repaid" Capt c. H.
Watts, 9th Cavalry, writes:' please ac-
cept our gratitude for your timely Offer
ing. Reading matter is very scarce in Porto
Rico and is highly appreciated" Lieut.
Thomas Z. Boyd, acting commander, 2o2d
New York, voices the same sentiment when
he says: We all appreciate the spirit in
which they were sent"
These gentlemen, as well many others.
express the hope that more literature of
similar character will be forwarded. To
this end l respectfully request that suit
able reading matter including. of course,
current magazines-not old and torn ones
and interesting books. be sent to me- as
I will continue to ship them to the soldiers
as rapidly as / receive sufficient quantities
to fill the boxes
Let us not forget that, although the war
is practically over, thousands of our men

Washing the Streets.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The suggestion of Mr.. c. NJ. D. Browne.
in his letter to the District Commissioners,
in regard to washing the streets in summer,
instead of sweeping them, in order to re-
move the germ dust, is an excellent one,
and il is to be regretted that the insufficient
supply of water makes such treatment of
the streets impossible. The same results,
however are now being obtained at But
falo n. Y, by the use of the new steam
suction process, and at only trife greater
cost than the sweeping method, which is so
Objectionable and unsatisfactory, but I am
informed that we are to be deprived OF the
privilege of using his new system, for the
reason that Congress has placed limit of
- cents for 600 square yards on the con-
tract price for street cleaning, while by the
new process it cost about 70 cents for 1000
square wards This bill is now In confer
ence but it seems quite unlikely that it will
be changed. Another great drawback is
the total amount appropriated for the
street cleaning. We ought to have at least
$500 900 available for this work. The pros
poets are that the amount, when the bill is
finally passed will be just one-half Of that
sum 1t strikes me that legislation Of TINS
sort is on par with the ShOrtSi ightedneSS
of a man who would build palatia dwell
ing, surround it with beautiful walks and
drives, and then be willing to spend only
one-half the necessary money to keep 1t
clean. In this age of microbes and germs
there may be, and no doubt there are, many
foolish whims, but the desire for cleanli-
ness. is not one of them. Buffalo Is one Of
the most healthy cities in the world, the
death rate being kept down to the remark
ably low percentage of L. to the 600 and
this, with an extremely severe climate
Who can say that the cleanliness of its
streets is not largely responsible for this
condition?

This is the eighth year of sugar

At present beets are being grown

FlOurishinR Schools.


While skirmishlng around for items
this fornoon the reporter drifted to
the high school building. The first
thing to attract his attention was the
beautiful iron fence Wick johnson is
erecting around the grounds. The
fence in front of the building is orna-
mental and adds greatly to the ap-
pearance Of the grounds, The sizes
and back Of the yard will be enclosed
with gas pipe. Mr.. johnson is put
ting up the fence in first class shape
and when completed it will be an Or
nament to the school grounds.
After inspecting the fence the re.
porter wandered inside of the build.
ing and spent some time with Princi-
pal Start and his assistant, Miss
Adams. We found forty-fve young
men and women hard at work over
their books. They were orderly and
attentive and seemed to be making
the most OF the splendid opportun-
lties furnished them by the people Of
Elko county. Principal Start has the
school under thorough control and
he and Miss Adams are certainly do
ing their part of the work well. So
far as the reporter could see the
school is in hourishing condition
and will continue so if the people OF
the town will lay aside their preju-
dlces and give the teachers their un-
divided support.
There are now forty-fve pupils en-
rolled in the high school, eleven of
whom are FROM the country. The at
tendance from the country is not
what it should be, but is gradually
increasing.
From the high school the reporter
strayed through the Business College
In charge of Prof. Nesse and his as
sistant, Miss Lawson. This school
opened Wednesday with an atten-
dance Of thirty eight in the different
departments. This is a gratifying in
crease over last year when but eight
were in attendance at the opening.
Eleven Of the pupils are from the
high school. These pupils receive
instruction in bookkeeping and bust
ness methods an hour and half each
day. The teachers are untiring in
their efforts to make the pupils thor
oughly competent business men and
women.
This school is credit to the town
and bids fair to be one of the most
successful Of it's kind on the Coast.
The first year it opened but nine
pupils entered the first day; the Sec
ond year only eight began work at
the opening, and this year, the third
in the history of the school, thirty
eight pupils began work in the diff
ferent departments of the school on
the first day. This large increase in
attendance ,is a sure evidence that
the school is success.
