The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-09-26

Among other distinctions which
the Ely district has enjoyment of is
that contained in the fact that 1t is
operating more trains daily over its
railroad lines than are being opera
ted in and out of any other railroad
point in the state.
The number of trains making up,
arriving and departing daily from
the East Ely terminal yards of the
Nevada Northern is now 54, and be-
fore long the increasing require
ments of the mine and smelter runs
are very likely to require additional
service, while on the main line the
growth of business by reason of the
increasing activities in the district,
particularly those of the Giroux is
likely to soon develop need for more
freights although heavy trains are
now operating both ways daily from
East Ely to the Western Pacific
junction at Shafter and the Southern
Pacific junction point at Cobre.
Both of these latter systems deliver
to and receive traffic from the Ely
road.
The steady tonnage which figures
largely in the earnings of the Ne
vada Northern comes from the OPP
GRAFTON of the ore trains between
the mines and the concentration at
McGill. The main line freight bust
ness with its tonnage of fuel and
supplies to the smelter doubtless
ranks next. The main line pas
senger business and the passenger
business on the suburban trains be-
tween East Ely and McGill and East
Ely and the mines, all of these
trains starting from East Ely but
also including Ely in their going and
coming trips, are additional revenue
producers, although the suburban
business is conducted at street car
fare rates and it is said at a lower
rate of. fare than prevails in the pas
senger department of any other rail-
road in the west for the same given
distance.
Monthly suburban train tickets
from McGill to East Ely and Ely and
from the mines to these points are
sold at S.. They entitle the holder
to one round trip daily during the
month of purchase. Which means
about an s ZEN fare for a IA mile
ride. There are also 20 ride tickets,
which are sold for So and are good
for so days, while there are half
fare rates for children. These rates
apply to the mine runs as we'll as to
the McGill trains. In consequence of
the low rate there are a great many
passengers handled by the suburban
trains daily, and they have paid al
most since installment a little less
than a veal ago. Between East Ely

according to the figures of Auditor
Durkee of the Nevada Northern,
reached the equivalent of hauling
10000 passenger between East Ely
and Ely, has been almost phenom-
enal in it's freedom from accidents.
During the entire life of the service
there has been no wreck and more
remarkable still no single passenger
has been hurt nor no one injured by
the movement of the trains. This
very remarkable record fits well with
the splendid record which has been
made for efficiency in the handling OF
the ore traffic from the mines,
amounting now to $4,000 tons per
month. The whole establishes that

hour from GAO in the morning until
1920 in the morning. These trains
also do a large business. The en-
tire service operates to make the dis
trict one of the most easily %traversed

centers of residence that there is in

Nevada Northern comprise a most
exceptionally competent and capable
railroad organization. The record
they have made tells that in a man
ner beyond dispute.
The ore train traffic is in partic-
ular handled with most c%reditable
skill, efficiency and economy. If
there is anywhere in the country a
mining camp being better served in
this respect, the Ely district will
have to be shown. 1t will not be-
lieve off-hand. AS at present opera
ted between Copper Flat and the
concentrator at McGill, the ore line
covers 90 miles. 1000 ton trains, or
20 fifty ton cars, are handled over

the traffic, four in number, with two
more probably to be added before
long. The crews employed in the
traffic make two round trips daily,
down with loads and back with
empties, thus delivering 1000 tons
of ore each in their day. Three
crews are operated, two on the day
shift and one on night. This month

NEW YORK, Dec. St begins
to look more and more as If Rich
ard LIE Gallienne-"Dicky," Elber
Hubbard and the elect at East Au
rora call him-may have started
something he can't finish.
Dicky,- a poet, criticised some
what severely poem written re
Gently by William Watson, the
British poet who narrowly escaped
being made poet laureate after he
had written an ode to Lord Tenny
son in 1892.
The Britisher replied to Dicky
Dicky got rid of some more un
feeling conversation, and Watson
announced that he is coming tc
America. One of these days some
body will drag Dicky out of his
hiding place in the potato bin anG
drop him in the squared circle
and what started out to be a bat
tie of salons will end by breaking
into the sporting page.
It's going to be real dool with
fOur-ounce gloves.
HOW " started.
It started with Watson's poem
THE Woman With the Serpent's
Tongue" describing an unnamed
woman in numbers that make hel
out as scarcely polite enough to gel
a job Williamsburg at the Seattle
theater.
When Dicky La Gallienne heard
about it he quit work on the East
Aurora wood pile, retired to his
chamber and arranged his thoughts
in poetical order. When he came
out he had all written and ready
to put in the paper a piece (poet
icaD entitled THE Poet With the
Coward's Tongue"
1t was a parody, also scream
and an editor paid Dicky gooG
money for it. When Watson read
it he was even madden than Dicky
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-12-03

had been. He spoke of coming
over and meeting Dicky face to
face.
Dicky Laughs MerriIy.
'Ha, ha," said Dicky tempera-
mentally. He brushed aside his
Roycrottie hair. Since nowadays
gloves are the recognized weapons
for settling affairs of honor, l leave
the size of them to the laureled
English poet. Such men as MIR.
Jeffries, Mr.. Sharkey and Mr.. John
son, | am told, use four-ounce
gloves"
This was a bitter reproach, and
intended only as such. Dicky him
self is small in size, with long, deli
cate hands, a roundy tummy and
wistaria hair that has already slip
ped quite a ways back on his dome.
In fact, Dicky has got SO he only
gives out for publication pictures
taken in his youth, when he had to
train his locks in trellises to keep
them out of his eyes.
Dicky no doubt has supposed
right along that Watson Is built on
the same poetic lines.
Right back came Watson's an
swer:
Sailing on the Lusitania next
Saturday; taking Mrs. Watson with
me-"
And then the painstaking Lon
don correspondent appends the fol-
lowing description of Watson:
"Big, powerful chap, clean
shaver, broad-chested, thick,
stalky, square shoulders; be-
lever in physical culture, who
walks or runs Variations
daily; clever with his hands,"
And they say the English have
no sense of humor.

o, Poet with the towards Tongue.
She is not old, she is not young,
The Woman with the Serpent's
Tongue,
The haggard cheek, the hungering
eye,
The poisoned words that wildly fly,
The famished face, the .fevered

Who sights the worthiest in the

Sneers at the just, contemns the
brave
And blackens goodness in its grave.

Concerning who, Fame hints at
things
Told but in shrugs and whisper

Ambitious from her natal hour,
And scheming all her life for
power;
With little left of seemly pride;
With venomed fangs she can not
hide;
Who half makes love to you today,
Tomorrow gives her guest away.
Burnt up within by that strange
soul
She can not slake, nor yet control:
Malignant-lipp'd. unkind, unsweet;
Past all example indiscreet;
Hectic, and always overstrung-

ACTUAL EXPERIENCES OF
A BUNGALOW BUILDER

Our dreams of neat little cot
with all modern cOnveniences, at
cost of $500, or maybe $1,000,
faded fast when we received the
plans and specifications from the
California architect.
If we had gone ahead with that
bungalow exactly in accord with
the plans, here are some of the
things the place would have lacked:
A basement.
Also an attic.
Cutters for the caves.
A furnace.
And a place for a laundress to
work.
A cupboard to store preserves,
jams and jellies.
l submit that no right-minded
householder would consider house
with no place for jam.
Here are some of the things that
the plans did provide for:
Pine floors and woodwork.
Glass of the variety that is full
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-12-03

/ of waves and streaks.
A fireplace of ordinary brick,
conventional design.
1t can readily be seen that the
idea of these things was to save
money. We wanted to save money,
all right, but We began to realize
then that to save money is one
thing and to build the kind of
home you want is another.
We wanted hardwood floors, not
pine. We wanted oakwoodwork in
the principal rooms, not pine with
knot holes in it. We wanted a
basement and an attic, and some
way of heating the house, and some
plate glass in the windows that
would show from the street.
So We took the matter before the
building superintendent of the real
estate firm that was willing to sell
us our corner lot. Let us suppose
that his name is Carter.
This is for your personal guild
anee: When you build, pick your
contractor or building superintend-
ent with care. If you find a man
who is patient with you through all
your vagaries, and who anticipates
your wishes, and thinks of things
you forget, and cuts needless cor
ners of expense, think yourself
lucky. We found such man.
We showed the plans to Carter.
"Can We have all the things we
want and stay anywhere near
$2100?" / asked him.
Garter Is careful. He volunteer
ed Il to take the plans home and
think about it over night. Next
day he said:
"You can't build that house for
$4,000. 1t would cost nearer $4,000.
It's too much house to build for
anything less. 1t covers 32x50 feet.
You would need $4,000 shingles for
the side walls, to say nothing of the
roof. That's just an example"
This was cheering news, indeed.
I felt that it would be real pleas
ure to sue the Ladies' Boon Com
panion for bunko steering or trying
to obtain money under false pre-
lenses.
isn't there some way" l asked
Carter, that you can eliminate
something or change something SO
you can cut down the COST"
I'll try" he volunteered, hope
fully. "But you'll find that it's
cheaper to build a two-story house
of moderate size than to build a
bungalow"
He showed me plans for a two
story cottage. l took them home
and showed them to my wife. We
Kept right ON wanting the bungalow
with the window seats and the out
side stone chimney, and the low,
broad roof.
What if we could build the two
story cottage for $4,000? When you
want pie, you want PIE, not cake.
~ So when Carter figured out how
he could cut off every item of I'M
necessary expense and still give us
hardwood floors and oak woodwork
and James Dandy fireplace of
rough stone with a real arch shape,
and other things we wanted, we
decided to go it, come what would.
We took the corner lot, paid $50
to clinch the deal, and said, you
may fire when you are ready, Car
ter"
Ever get any easy money from a
lottery or anything like that?
Well, that's how fine you feel
when you say the word, and then
stand around and watch things
happen on your lot, with men dig
ging dirt. and hauling lumber, and
SO on. Try it and see.

HEALTH OFFICER BUSY
Focus of Infection Discovered, and
Drastic Measures Taken-Negro
Doctor Cases.

Today Health Officer Dr. Parsons
discovered the source of the cases of
diphtheria that have developed here,
and in one instance proved fatal. The
cases from which other cases were
contracted developed in a negro fam
lily where white folks washing was
taken in, and the infection was traced
direct to this negro home.
The cases in the negro house were
treated by negro doctor, whom the
health officer says failed to diagnose
the cases correctly. As result no
restrictions were thrown around them,
and nothing was done to prevent the
spread The family continued to do
the family wash for several families,
hence the spread.
Only few cases have developed so
far, and DR.. Parsons says they are
well in hand Today the negro house
has been thoroughly disinfected.
In commenting on these cases and
their source the doctor says it is a
great pity that people cannot be made
to see the danger of sending out
the family wash indiscriminately and
promiscuously, leaving negroes to
take the clothing into infected homes,
There is tuberculosis, for instance
which is prevalent to considerable
extent among negroes. Often the
clothing OF white people go into these
homes, are piled upon the floor, slept
upon, etc. White people, he con-
tends, should have their family wash
done on their own premises. Sending
it out is often source of infection.
