Oysters as Rat Traps,

Catching rats with oyster shells Is
the unique method employed by some
pearlers round about Broome, Western
Australia. They leave a large oyster
on the floor of the cabin at night. 1t
opens for a breath of fresh air, and
the smell OF fresh meat attracts the
rats. When the rodent thinks he'll
try a little supper. the oyster sudden
ly decides that he doesn't like fresh
air. Next morning the shell is pried
open and the dead rat thrown over
board.

HIS PAY AND HIS PROSPECTS.

Even as Private He Can Run His
Salary Up to $35 Month, and as
"Noncom" He Can Double That and
In Time Retire Rich and Pensioned.
There are many opportunities open
to the man who enlists in the United
States army and wears the uniform
of Uncle Sam with honor to himself
and his country. The pay is good. the
food is good. and the chances for ad-
vancement are numerous. 1t is up to
the individual man himself to make
good and to take advantage of the
situation.
Writing in the Columbian Magazine
on army affairs. Edward Marshall in
discussing the status of the enlisted
man says:
Summarized. this is what a man
who thinks of marching for his Uncle
Samuel as an enlisted man has to con-
slider:
On first enlistment the soldier for

far better pay, for instance, than the
average clerks. for board. lodging and
ment. If he qualities as marksman
he adds 50 to his pay; if as sharp
shooter he gets So in addition; if as
an expert rif1eman a full third more.
Thus he may at once get $40 monthly
cash and found if he is able and keeps
busy.
If he enlistS as musician he gets
$21 monthly to start off with, the
highest rockies pay. In the signal
corps. the hospital corps and the en-
gineers' corps first class privates get
SIS monthly, and second class privates
get SIS.
Upon enlistment every man is allow
ed $3.50 for his uniforms. ETC.. and
afterward $13.54 twice annually. At
least one-half the men save money on
their clothing allowance. which is more
than ample. Priyates' pay increases

listment. An expert rifeman who
never gets to be petty officer. there

conduct and Intelligence. to $50 a
month and all his necessaries found
In five eniistments covering fifteen
years.
Noncommissioned officers are taken
from the ranks on recommendation of
their company or troop commanders
and are often given their posts upon
their first enlistments. These men are
really well paid. A sergeant major ia
allotted to each regiment He receives
$45 monthly when he is appointed and
81 additional per month each time he
re-enlists. Regimental commissary SER
geants, regimental quartermaster's SER
geants and the three battalion SER
geants in each regiment get the same
high pay. Each company has a first
sergeant at $40. with an increase of
81 upon re-enlistments; second SER
geant at $50. with So increase for each

to the service for full thirty years a
noncommissioned officer is entitled to

known.

Word has been received here that
the committee on reorganization of
Ely Central has raised money to pay
off the debts of the company. This
is not official, but comes from
one who is in touch with the move
ments of the committee. If the news
the district, for it means that the
woes of Ely Central will soon be at
an end, the receiver discharged and
work resumed on the property.
The stockholders of the district
are asked to send in their stock and
pay as much of their assessment as
convenient. If they cannot pay all
they are to pay as much as possible
and be given reasonable time in
which to pay the balance. The only
thing lacking in this is that it is not
official. If the committee will send
u such a statement ii would seem
to us that no better settlement of the
difficulty can be devised. We do not
know the people of the committee,
but Mr.. Lodge is said to be an en-
gineer of high standing and is well
connected. IL the committee we're
not all right it is reasonable to as
sumo that we would have heard of
it long before this, but we have yet
to observe any criticism of the COM
mittee or its methods. In this res
pect the eye of the government is on
Ely Central, and it looks as If the
interests of the stockholders were
we'll s~afe-guarded.
The resumption of work on Ely
Central means much to this district.
from the standpoints of business,
mining and stocks. In days gone by
the pay roll of the mine and bills for
supplies ranged from $4,000 to
$4,000 and the bulk of the money
was spent in the district. The best
class of miners was employed and
the district received its modicum of
benefit.

grounds: If not the location will be
elsewhere in the district. 1t Is the
hope of the company that the con-
centrator may be erected on the
company's property. But the main
thing is that there is no doubt that
Giroux will put up a concentrator i'm
the district.
With regard TO a smelter pro-
vision has not been yet made for it,
for the same reason that the location
of the concentrator is not known.
The company will be guided in this
matter by purely business reasons
and financial results. If there is not
a smelter there will be another rail
road into the district. The an
nouncement of the location of the
concentration, and the coming of a
railroad or the building of a smelter
will be sufficient to start a boom in
the district which will eclipse the
greatest boom the district has
known.
