Threatened to Kin the Officers

j. G. Mckinney filed up on booze
last night and started to make himself
very disagreeable. He had an auto
matte pistol on his person and handled
it very recklessly. Deputy Constable
Cotant was sent for to take the gun
from Mckinney. Cotant found Nc
Kinney at the Totem saloon and asked
him for his gun. Mckinney responded
by drawing the gun on Cotant and
threatening to shoot his heart out. Of
ficer Cotant tried to reason with Nc
Kinney, but his words had no effect.
Seeing that there would be serious
trouble if he attempted to arrest the
man, Cotant left him and went for Con-
stable Ouderkirk to assist him. He found
MIR. Ouderkirk in bed asleep, but the
constable was soon up and dressed and
together they. went in search of Nc
kinney, Learning that he had gone to
the 40 saloon, the officers started that
way, after him. When just in front of
the vacant building, formerly Charley
Growers butcher shop, they heard some
one say, 81 will kill both of you" Mr..
Ouderkirk asked who it was and Nc
Kinney replied with another threat.
Mckinney walked toward the door. of
the Eagle saloon and as he reached for
the door knob Constable Ouderkirk
caught him by the wrist and at the
same time knocked his feet from under
him. AS Mckinney fell, his gun drop
ped on the sidewalk and he made an
effort to get it. Constable Ouderkirk
gave him rap over the head with his
cane and he laid still. He was then
taken to Jail.
Officer Cotant swore to a com plant
against Mckinney this afternoon charg-
ing him with assault with intent to kill.
He was taken before Judge Bruce late
this afternoon and the date fixed for
his preliminary examination.
The charge against Mckinney is Sc
rious one and we have no desire to pref
udice him before the public, but it is
our duty to commend the officers in
their efforts to suppress lawlessness
There is no occasion for any one to carry
arms in Elko and those who persist in
doing it should be punished. A drunk
en- man and an automatic revolver make
a very dangerous combination for peace
able citizens to run against. In sup
pressing such combinations, the officers
officers should have the hearty support
of all good citizens.

Facts About Our Trees.

Emerson Hough in Everybodys.
 All our standing timber is estimated to be somewhere between fourteen hundred and two thousand billion feet. If we use 40, 0,000. .000,0O0 per annum, we can run 35 to 50 years at the present rate, provided we do not have any waste. If we use 1O0.- Oo0,000,000 per annum, our timber will last 14 to 20 years on the same basis. If we use 0,O00. 900 per annum in nine to 13 years our timber will all be gone! We have now about 165 0O0. GOO acres in our na- tional reserves. If we had three times that much we Should not have enough.
 If 1t costs 20 acres Sunday, or 40 acres a week. or 20S0 acres a year to print one daily newspaper what does 1t cost In acreage to print all the newspapers In all the cities and towns of America?

ImmensIty of Our Gold Industry.

Walter Hartly Meredith in Leslie's
 Weekly.a
 An eagle, s10 gold piece, is just about one inch in diameter. Imagine glitter ing yellow ribbon of $10 gold pieces, ly- ing edge to edge, beginning at San Fran cisco and extending eastward through the Sacramento valley of California, across the lofty Sierra Nevada mountains, span ming the great American desert in Nevada and Utah, over the prairies of Wyoming and Nebraska, across the green fields of Iowa and Illinois,, over Indiana and Ohio, through the hills of New York and Mas sachusetts, and out into the Atlantic ocean, half way to the British isles-im- agine this continuous string of golden eagles edge to edge, without break or in- terruption, over this-vast stretch of land and sea-a distance which consumes at least eight days in the swiftest express trains and ocean steamers-and you will be able to form some conception of the amount of gold that has been produced in the United States.
 It requires some such illustration as this to grasp the immensity of the gold industry to form some definite idea Of the importance and magnitude of the gold production of the North American conti- nent.
 The profits from the gold industry are magnificent. They are greater than in any other department of commercial ac- tivty. The figures of the worlds produc- ton are enormous. In 1907 the output of the gold mines of the earth amounted to nearly $500,000,000 Of this vast sum about one-half, or more than $2OO,OO0,O0O, was net profit No other industry can make such showing as this. This gold was found in America, in Mexico, In South Africa, in Australia and elsewhere.
 This huge sum of profits, more than GOO, was distributed to scores of thousands of people.

 More than 100000 acres of timber in the whole United States, are cut over every working day. We use many times more timber per capita than any other nation. We have left not over GOO acres bearing commercial timber Cast up in your mind some of the small demands of industry upon this supply Our railroads are said to use one-third of the industrial timber cut for ties. Suppose we could cut 100 ties to the acre; we should require 100000 acres a year for ties. We an- nually reap for telegraph and telephone poles somewhere between 5000. .000 and 100000 acres of land Our tanneries two years ago required 1S70,0O0 cords of bark In the same year we cut 11,S5S,260 shingles and .S07 lath. Then we had to timber our mines, and for that we need 65,000, 900 cubic feet. not board measure, much of which was the best of hardwood.

MONUMENTS TO WOMEN
BY LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

round the licensing bill during the last three weeks, nor is it possible to employ more misleading meth ods than those used to throw dust in the eyes of the man In the street with regard to the real facts which make this measure valuable, if not necessary.
 The truth is that although the bill as 1t stands does not, on the face of it, seem to be advancing the cause of tenn perance, though that word Is so elastic that it is difficult to know exactly what it surrounds, it does something that is even for the moment more valuable-it deals the first blow against the mightiest trust that has ever throttled the life of any nation.
 Lord Roseberry said not long ago that if England did not govern the liquor traf- tic, the liquor traffic would govern Eng land.
 Therefore, in the interest of all legisla ton, which goes to destroy great monied monopolies when their power has become menace to the freedom of a state, this bill should be supported.
 It Is quite true that we are told 1t will affect those who have invested their money in the liquor trade, and that among these there are many women of slender means who knew not what they did, but who were inveigled by the snare of high interest into placing their money in brew cry shares; but no great reform has ever yet been carried through without bring ing some suffering to the innocent that is the price paid by nations, as by individ- uals for all misdeeds.
 The actual facts, however, do not at all bear out the exaggerated statements which have been made in this direction.
 The widows and orphans have been put in the front window, but compared to great financial disaster recently brought about by speculative fnanciers, the suf fering caused to the innocent and mis- guided investors by this drastic dealing with the power of the liquor traffic will be relatively small.
 The opposing armies of the liquor traf- flee and temperance reformers have been facing each other for a long while, the fight Is now imminent, the battle has come-we must stand to our guns.

London, May 9-It is very significant of the way in which women have been re- garded in past times, that as you wander through the streets of London and look at the monuments erected to men for every conceivable kind of achievement-soldiers sailors, statesmen, poets, kings, philan- thropists, benefactors-fve women only have monuments erected to their mem ory, that any visitor to London may see. And of these five, four are queens, and the fifth is Mrs. Siddons, modelled from Reynolds portrait of her as the Tragic Muse"
 1t goes without saying that statues of Queen Victoria are found in our highways, that Queen Anne also is represented, it would be unlikely that such great women could occupy the throne without being thus commemorated-but where is Eliza beth? where is Mary by the side of her consort William? where are the innumer- able women who have helped to make the greatness of England? True, on Westmin- ster Bridge is to be seen the Boadecea group, but that is more a mythologica1 representation of England's great begin nings than a portrait of any individual woman.
 And yet there is one monument to a woman which always speaks to me as pass it, and that is the gothic cross out side the station which bears it's name, as Charing Cross. The cross originally stood on the site where there is now statue of Charles l., and was one of many erected by Edward I to his wife, Eleanor, for when she died in the north, wherever her body rested on it's long journey southward to the Abbey, the King raised cross.
 Twelve in all marked that solemn procession and of these three are still standing - Geddington, Northampton and Walton
 It was tribute of gratitude, for she was the woman who sucked the poison from his wound when he was stabbed by deadly dagger.
 In various parts of London there are about 100 tablets fixed to various houses, four of which commemorate Fanny Burney, Joanna Bailie, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Mrs. Siddons. But probably the most typical example of the way in which woman was re- garded during some of the most bril- liant ages of English history is to be found in Westminster Abbey, where few women are laid to rest, save those of royal birth or great family.
 But Mary, daughter of William Green, rests there, and over her grave is written that she was more adorned with virtue than high birth; she mar ried William Bulmer, gentleman, to whom she was mo occasion of trouble except by leaving him at her death"
 When will the time come when some women will raise tomb to her hus- band who was trouble to her, and gave her only such slight cause for annoyance?
 At last grateful public has raised a small monument in the Poets Cor ner," in Westminster Abbey to Jenny Lynd, but the famous singer is not buried there, nor has any woman been found .worthy to be laid within the shadow of the great English cath edral for any merit of her own;
 Probably no measure in recent years has ever drawn down such thunders of hostile criticism as has been raging

pleasant One Big Brother was met at the cavernous door of an inside tenement by an irate woman with tub of dirty suds which she threatened to use. lie had to use the utmost diplomacy to per- suade her that he was in reality upon d friendly visit. Often members are taken for officers, but they usually win out through the mothers. The boys them- selves are hard to know and usually sev- eral visits to the home are necessary.
 The Big Brothers movement is really an effort to take the responsibility or the boys from shoulders which are not able to carry it and lay it upon others who are better fitted to assume 1t. It is rec ognition of the fact that the community is primarily one body, member of which can afford that another member should be lost through lack of chance. As a result sullen and embittered children chafing under restraint are becoming thing of the past. Now the citys bad boys returning from a reformatory In the country, such as the childrenS s Vll- lage of the New York Juvenile asylum, where they have room to stretch their bodies in healthful outdoor play bring back to the city large measure of health and no little knowledge. Also the time of the boys discharge Is known to the Big Brothe, who is especially interested in him, and no boy as of old, begins the Dattle to i've straight 1rleHulesS ana aione
 The Big Brother completes the work which the country asylum has well be- gun or he undertakes it alone, if for a number of reasons 1t seems to the author ities as represented by the children's court that just a little boost is neces- sary. Indeed in a word the purpose of this Big Brothers organization is just to boost and the records which they have kept show what wonderful results a boost may bring. Not dozens, but scores of successful young men in the city to- day can and do trace their success to the help of a Big Brother. Some indeed. who were once little brothers have now become Big Brothers themselves

If you are thinking of taking up stenog- raphy as a means of livelihood there are many things to consider, says the June Delineator.
 Let us take account of your stock be- fore you decide to be a stenographer. Are you a good speller? Is punctuation one of your strong points? Are you accu- rate and possessed of a quick, dependa- be memory? Are you neat and quick with your hands? Do you like routine work. and are you willing to do the same thing day after day with little or va riation?
 If you can write "Yes' after each one of those questions. you will succeed as a ste- nographer. But the girl who always had to consult dictionary when writing an
