The MissouIa Chamber OF Commerce
has chosen its officers for another year
and IL preparing for another season of
earnest work for the benefit OF the
city and country which lies about 1t.
Ip the past several years the chamber
Of commerce has done much for the ad :
sancement of the interests OF Missoula !:
its members have labored earnestly.
and the good that has been accom-
piishcd has been the result Of hard
work and the expenditure of the limited
funds which have been at the disposal
Of the organization. II is doubtful IL
there Is another commercial organiza-
tion in the state which has accom-
plished as much with as little money
as has the Missoula Chamber of Com
merce. For the coming year there
should be large increase In the mem
bership of the organization; there
should not be business man or prop
erty owner In the city who is not =
member OF the chamber. The amount
of the dues is small. but If many pay
the total will be large enough to en-
able the officers to carry out the work
planned. Get your name on the list
and pay your dues: help out the good
work

GOOD ENROLMENT
XT HIGH SCHOOL

The County High school COM
menced work last Monday. The
principal estimates that twenty
five students will have entered by
the end of September, although
many are still out working on the
farms. Seven new students were
added to the enrolment so far.
This is much better than was ex-
pected considering that so few
students passed the leighth grade
examinations given by the state
last May. Among the students
attending, sten or the majority -
far entered, are from outside dis
tricts. This demonstrates forcibly,
the support that the surrounding
valley is giving to their institution
for higher education. The attend
ance compared to that Of 9TH
nlace. aver -,A..o lne people are
.nore closely congregated, COM
pares very favorably.
The principal states that prac-
tically no time was wasted from
the first minute school opened.
The outlook is bright for good
scholarship and serious application
to work. While the school is al
ready accredited to the University
of Nevada, yet the staff will be
more than anxious to have out
side visitors inspect the work and
discipline OF the students. He be-
lleves there is an opportunity
offered now for many young people
in this Valley of school age to
broaden out intellectually and not
to take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity will in fifteen years mean
social and mental inferiority for
those who are negligent now. 1t
depends largely upon the interest
tnat will be manifested by the
parents whether Carson Valley
will keep pace intellectually with
the rest of the State of Nevada.
The district school opened on the
same date with 80 scholars in at
tendan ce, although the last school
census shows 139 children of
school age in the district.

Y. G r. NAY BUILD
TO SMITH WILEY

Alter great deal of talk for the
past few years the Nevada Copper
Kelt railroad from Wabuska. 10 the
mines Of Mason Valley, was started
last Wedm stay, contracts having
l,e,,, l..l for 80 miles II road, IA OF
winch are to he completed IN 40
dass.
Last Friday, and following close
upon the above announcement,
II. NJ. Yerington, OF the Virginia
A. Truckee, while At Minden, Is ac-
credited with making the state
mrnt that his road would be ex-
tended to Smith Valley in the
very near future, which OF course
is, or will be necessary step IN
order hat the V. IL T. hold the
freighting business OF Mono county.
All or nearly all Of the freight
that goes into Mono county, Is
handled by the V. " 1. railroad,
with their NJ nden station as the
nearest shipping point. In the
completion Of the Nevada Copper
Belt road to Smith Valley or Weii-
ington, as 1t is planned, the entire
tonage of freight would be lost 20
the Y. and I. Seeing the possl-
bility OF competition taking the
Mono business has resulted III the
declaration OF Mr.. Yerington.
In the event Of one or both OF
these roads establishing a terminus
ia Smith Valley, it would shorten
the team haul 10 the important
points in Mono county about 80
miles. 1t is not definitely known
that The Mason Valley road will
be extended 10 the territory be-
,ond the mines more than the
following from the Reno Gazette
conveys:
"Sam Crane, the we'll known in
surance agent, left last night ON
the Overland for the east, whtre /
he will endeavor to secure mercy /
to continue the Yerington- Wabps- /
ka railroad to Wellington.
IF the proposed railroad can be
continued on to Wellington the .
rich and productive territory sur
rounding Bodie, Aurora ard
Bridgeport will become tributari
and that section will receive 4

VINTAGE Nicknames.

We have nicknames for the vintages
which few persons except the wine
drinkers know. Thus the vintage OF
the present year we call Zeppelin, in
honor of the air navigator's achieve
ment and because 1t is SO high. Rec
ords show that these nicknames were
bestowed on vintages as far back as
1929, when the bad-wstered wine was
called Baptist"
The sour wine of 1860 was called
Garibaldi, and in memory Of the Chi.
nese war the 1894 wine is still known
rs Weihaiwei. The vintage Of 1895
promised much and gave little, and was
Hicknamed Ii Hung Chang, and an.
other nickname for the same years

Ghost. In Scottish Houses.

Scotland is rich in ghost lore. There
Is, perhaps, hardly q castle or ruin
which has not some special story cling.
ing TO it, and the strange part of the
matter Is that many of the legends are
substantiated by latter day expert.
eRces. Dunrobin castle, the Highland
home Of the duke of Sutherland, boasts
Of . haunted room. The specter there
is invisible and denotes fits presence
by an aweinspiring laugh. The story
goes that one Of the dukes ancestors
caused the chief of a rival clan to
be starved to death in his room, Wis
fling him periodically during his suf-
ferings and laughing at his tortures.
As punishment for this crime the I'M
scrupulous chieftsin has to haunt the

DUELs AMONG sUDANEsE ARABS.
Where Pastoral Life Doesn't Always
Lead to Peace and Quiet.

The country to the southeast Of
, Tekar, in Africa, is the home OF the
Hasas; the Hadendoas occupy the
khors to the south and the plateau to
the southwest. Both of these are
black Arabs, speaking different Ian
sGuages.
The Hasas live almost entirely on
sour milk, while the Hadendoas are
agricultural as we'll as pastoral. Their
dokhn and durra, milletlike grains,
were ripening in February and being
protected from countless swarms Of
small birds by men who stood on ele-
waited platforms, from which they
cracked loudly large whips with palm
leaf lashes 20 feet long.
The dress of these Arabs is cotton
sheet held in by a belt in which they
carry crooked knives. For other weap-
ons they use sticks, spears and
swords. Firearms are prohibited
Judging by the many scars borne by
the men the pastoral life is by no
means SO peaceful as the poets would
lead us to think Many of the scars
come from duels in which the men
ent each other alternately in the back
till one cries Enough"
