Snow Blacks Jarbidae Travel

About o'clock Monday morning Mr..
Thompson started for Jarbidge with two
four horse teams. and twelve passengers
The teams were pretty we'll loaded
with baggage and supplies. Everything
went along all right until they reached
the mountains. north of town. From
there on, the deep-snow made their
progress very slow and they did not
reach 16-mile station until after dark.
The snow was about six feet deep in
the road and whenever one of the horses
would get out of the road he had to be
shoveled out. The road had to be
broken all the way and this was done
by unhitching some of the horses and
leading them ahead of the loaded sleighs
for short distance and then back to
the sleighs hitchng them up again an d
pulling US far as the trail was broken.
After learning that he could get no
hay between Gold Creek and Jarbidge
Mr.. Thompson and his passengers de-
cided to return to Elko. The return
trip was made much easier and in much
less time than it took to go to 16-mile
station.
1t showed nearly all day yesterday
and this added to what was already in
the mountains has completely blocked
the mountain roads and it will be some
time before they are opened sufficiently
for the resumption of travel.
The conditions from the Idaho side
are no better. The storms have closed
the roads leading to the Jarbidge and a
large number of men are said to be
snow-brund. Parties bound for JAR
bidge will save time and expense by re-
manning at home until the road be-
tween Elko and Gold Creek is opened.
From Gold Creek to Jarbidge the road
is said to be in good condition.

Quite a Washout

The railroad wdshout in Rainbow
canyon has provided a prolific topic for
imaginative newspaper writers and
some of the stories published would
make the ghost of Jules Verne call for
help. One writer in the Goldfield Trib-
une tells of a monster locomotive cling
ing to the canyon side (by it's toe nails
as it were) and not daring to move a
muscle for fear of being plunged into
the gorge below. The passenger train
was caught between two washouts and
the freight train, part of which was
washed away by the flood, have provid-
el the nucleus of many original, weird,
and startling tales. But the newspaper
boys have got to have their fling-and

POWER
OVER
ILLNESS

Don't criticise the doctor because
medicine prescribed by him fails to have
the desired effect. The prescription
may have been good, but the ingre-
dsents dispensed poor. Give the doctor
fair show by taking his prescription
to druggist who makes a point of dis
pensing only pure drugs of right po-
tency-drugs that have the power to
overcome illness.
Tested drugs only are used here, and
skilled pharmacists do the compound

able when combating sickness.

persons regularly sleep there, as we'll as
tbs ordinary dwelling house.
A family" as a census term, may
mean a group of individuals who occupy
5ointly.a dwelling place or part of a
dwelling house or an individual living
alone In any place of abode. All the
occupants and employees of hotel, if
they regularly sleep there, make up a
single family, because they occupy one
dwelling place, and persons living alone
in cabins, huts or tents; persons occupy.
ing a room or rooms in public building
stores, warehouse, factories, or stables;
and persons sleeping on river boats,
canal boats, barges etc, if they have
no other usual place of abode, are re-
garded as families.
Inc enumerators are re Iuired to enter

son whose usual place of abode on April
Is, 1910, was with the family or in the
dwelling place for which the enumera.
ton is being made. The head of the

wife; next the children, whether sons or
daughters, in the order of their ages:
and lastly, all other persons living with
the family, whether relatives boarders
dodgers, or sevants. The head of the
family, whether husband or father,
widow or unmarried person of either
sex. is to BIO designated by the word

that Hemans is doing him a favor by
referring to his record in this once,
but Hemans says he proposes TO Keep

Women Cast aside Patent Elastic Az
fair Because IL Became TOO
Troublesome.

LONDON, Oct. 1s.-The patent elias
tic hobble skirt has proved dismal
failnre from the standpoint Of the hrm
which invested several thousand dol
lars In the latest enterprises. The
elastic hobble appeared to be prac-
teal and the early sale was large. The
skirt was rufYled, and under the ruff
fies was an elastic band running CON-
pletely around the skirt. Thus. though
lie fashionable hobble effect was OBJ
tanned, the legs Of the wearers were
not restricted and walking. in theory
became pleasant and graceful exer-
else.
But the patent hobble has been TAX
en- of the market. though the manu-
facturers had made many thousand OF
them.
Why? The hobble manifested de-
sire to crawl up the legs OF the wear
ers and stay there. Male loungers In
Piccadily, Regent-st. and Oxford-st.
had a delirious time while 1t lasted.
