MODENA-P|OCHE
SURVEY CUTOFF
SALT LAKE ROUTE HAS En-
GINEERS IN THE FIELD
NEAR MODENA FIGURING on
THIS IMPORTANT ROUTE.

A Salt Lake route surveying crops
is reported as having been engaged
for the past ten days in making
changes in the former surveys which
were made last spring from a num-
Der of points below Modena.
These surveys were for a cutoff
which is designed to cross the Phoebe
branch line at a point nine miles o.
so from C%aliente and extend to a con
nection with the high line, at present
under construction from Caliente,
Nevada south.
Much speculation is being indulg-
ed in as to the point where this cut
off will break the present main line.
as contingent on this will undoubted-
ly be the selection of the divis-
ion point. 1t is certain that in the
event of this cutoff being built,
changes will be made all along the
Since one of the surveys vas run
from a point only a few miles below
Modena. the inhabitants of this place
have become somewhat anticipatory,
and while the near-Modena surve,
would require more heavy rock work
than any of the other routes survey
ed, the fact that all the surveys ar.
through Miller's pass. and that the
route will accomplish >
greater saving of milage, lends a
reasonableness to the reports which
are current that Modena may, after
all be selected as a division point.

Household Notes.

A sprig of mint in the water in
which potatoes or peas are boiled will
add a piquant flavor.
When boiling cabbage the odor
will be much less noticeable If the
lid is left off the pot.
Cold drawn linseed oil, rubbed on
with a soft cloth is best for cleaning
mahogany furniture
When a soup is poor, try the ad-
dition of grated cheese. 1t will give
1t richness and flavor.
To prevent green vegetables from
fading when they are boiled, put a
pinch of soda In the water.
A cloth wrung out in ice water and
applied to the back of the head will
often relieve insomnia.
Salts of lemon will remove ink
stains from wooden floors. Use two
tablespoonfuls to a quart of water.
Iced tea can be given a piquant
flavor by the addition of half a dozen
cloves to a pitcher of tea.
Iron rust stains should be rubbed
with lemons and salt and held In the
steam of a rapidly boiling kettle.
Cabbages and caulifiower should
always be soaked for a time In salty
water and then rinsed off before
cooking.
To prevent or remove tan, put
enough benzoin in the bathing water
to give IL a slightly milky appearance
Slight iron scorches on linen will
often disappear il the piece is laid
for awhile in the sunshine.
An excellent way to clean steel
knives and forks is to cut a fair sized
potato in half and use with bath
brick.
Equal parts of salt and cooking
soda with a little water will greatly
relieve the pain of insect stings and
bites.
Strange as 1t may seem, a stomach
that can tolerate no other meat will
often easily digest fried breakfast
bacon.
Keep a bowl of cold water at hand

frequently when hu1ling or Gaping
fruit for preserving.
To get rid of rats, stuff their holes
with laundry soap which has been
literally sprinkled with cayenne
pepper.
Soap that comes from the store
moist will be sued up very fast. II
is a good plan to put it on a shelf for
a week to dry.
Alum used in rinsing water will
prevent green goods from fading
while a handful of salt in the water
will hold blue fast.
Vinegar applied with a soft cloth
will give a good polish to windows,
but the dust should first be wiped off
with a soft cloth.
An excellent way to cook string
beans, instead of breaking them into
short pieces, is to slit them length
wise with a sharp knife. 1t gives a
better flavor.
Caulifiower should always be soak
ed for a full hour before 1t is boiled,
and then should be boiled in water
very slightly salty for from twenty
to thirty minutes.
10 AVOID ScrdplnB new potatoes,
let them boil for a little while until
their skins are ready to peel off, strip
them and put them in the oven to
finish cooking.
When pressing dark linen frocks,
II Is just as well to cover the board
for the time with a piece of dark
material and thus avoid pressing the
white line into the material.
If when boiling cabbage a piece of
bread is placed in the pot the odor
that often prevents people from using
this excellent vegetable will be al
most entirely prevented.
Canvas shoes may be cleaned with
soap and water IL one works quickly,
SO that the moisture does not pen
citrate the canvas. Make a thick
lather OF pure white soap and warm
water.
Clean zinc with kerosene rubbed
on with a soft cloth. and follow with
boiling water.

FOOTBALL GAME
At MC|LL TO-DAY
LOVERS OF THE GREAT COLLEGE
GAME WILL SEE FINE EXHiBI-
TION AT THE SHELTER TOWN
THIS AFTERNOON.

McGill will be the center of attrac-
ton of the Ely district on next Sun
day afternoon when the football wal
riors of Ely and McGill will meet on
the field at the old McGill ranch.
Both teams have been practic-
ing since the last game in East Ely,
and have been materially strengthen
ed. The local boys are confident OF
bringing home the bacon this time
and If given a square deal or half a
chance will sure show up in their
old last rear form.
Just how the line up will be Is
hard to tell at this time as several OF
the boys here are trying out for the
respective positions. Some new ma
terial has been secured also which
will make the smelter boys show up
in grand style.
Harry Williams an old time foot
ball player, has been coaching the
boys during the past week and may
himself be OF the line next Sunday,
which means that Ely will have to
play the game all the time from the
kick off time is called at the close of
the fourth quarter.
Several new players have been
learned by the local boys and some
surprises will be sprung on the coun-
ty seat boys that will make them sit
up and take notice.
Reports from Ely say that the boys
there are hard at work every night
aud are in hopes of winning the game
next Sunday, but just where they got

at all in the game you can readily see
that the new rules are quite eompli-

Football Rules for Spectator.
For the benefit of the spectator,
who has not read the complicated
football rules this year, a list of the
penalties. which are more numerous
than wei before, is given to explain
the actions of the watchful officials
in the game. From the grandstand
the rulings of the officials are as
mysterious as some of the plays ruiz
off by the teams. The penalties for
infringing upon the safety zone" is
also pulling for the spectator to
ferret out. While the style of play
is more open and some of the forma-
lions are more spectacular than be-
fore, the rules are now the hardest
part of the game. The penalties are
as follows:
Loss of a Down.

MORE OFFICERS FOR
THE Navy NEEDED
Department Proposes a Plan
for Faster Promotion

Washington, Feb. 9.-The navy de
partment has laid before congress its
new naval personnel measure. This
proposed legislation has the endorse
ment Of the secretary Of the navy and
the president, but there seems to be
small prospect Of it going through al
this session. The object of the bill il
ito place all corps of the navy on 9
like footing, to make the numbers O
the personnel proportionate to the
ships Of the navy. to promote officers
after specified lengths of service II
each grade, to prevent the formation
Of so called hump in the line of pro
motion and to permit flag officers t.
reach their grade in time to render
eflcient service afloat in command o.
fleets and sqnadrons." The navy de
$partment is somewhat i%nsistent thai
some plan OF relief shall be afforded
without further delay.
Il is pointed out that the govern
ment, BY direction Of congress-, is pro
ceeding to build fighting ships at
rapid rate without giving due attention
to the personnel Of the navy. The
point sis made tnat unless congress:
takes up the personnel problem short
~ the department will be unable e
mansits fighting craft.
