Favor-Keep your bread just mod
erately warm while it is rising. Do
not let it get too cold at any time
Do not let 1t get too warm at any
time. Bread should be kept little
warmer than fresh milk all the time
it Is rising The flavor of your bread
will be much better If you are care
full about this.
Doughiness and Moisture-Be care
full to stop adding -four to your bread
sponge when the sponge Is just stiff
enough to handle without sticking
Texture and Grain-Knead your
bread until 1t becomes very springy
and elastic. This makes it rise more
readily. The long kneading breaks
up the large gas bubbles and helps to
distribute them evenly through the
loaf. If large bubbles Of gas are left
in the loaf they grow larger when the
loaf is warmed, anu make large holes
in the loaf. Your loaf will be coarse
In texture and grain If you let the
bread rise too much. Put the bread
in the oven when the loaf has doubled
its size.
Liqhtness-Be careful to put your
bread in the oven when it has doubled
It's size and be careful to have the

oven hot enough to brown a piece Of
letter paper in five minutes. If the
oven is too cool the bread will rise
too much. II the bread rises too much
before 1t is put into the oven, it will
settle and make heavy streaks in the
loaf.
Sweetness plants feed on
starch and change 1t to sugar. The
sugar is changed to alcohol and a
gas. II the bread stands too long an
acid is formed and the bread tastes
sour. Be careful to put the bread in
the oven just as soon as it has doubled
its size.
color-Too much yeast makes the
bread greenish white rather than a
yellowish white
shape-The good, uniform shape
that you want is given your loaf by
thorough kneading, by baking in a

Crust-lf your oven is too hot at

DANGEROUS MAIL CARS

a complaint of the railway
clerks is the condition of the mail
cars. These are rented from the
railroads at an annual average for
rent and hauling of $4,05O for a
car which costs $4,000 to build.
Last years appropriation bill con.
tained clause designed to enforce
proper sanitary conditions in these
cars. In October, 1911, 1.-THE
Harpoon" sent out to the clerks a
carefully worked out qusetionaire
in regard to sanitation. Replies
were received from 40 full cars
and 500 apartment cars, and the
results as presented in congress
show that 80 per cent of these are
regarded by the men as insanitary
and unclean. Only FIVE per cent
of the total number have flushed
toilets, and very few of the toilets
are inclosed.
But danger of death is even
worse than insanita.y y conditions.
In the railway mail service figures
for 1910 show "a killed and Git
injured, 9S Of the latter seriously.
Injuries to clerks travelling in
wooden cars are much more
frequent than in steel or steel
underframe cars, and yet accord
ing to the reports Of the second
assistant postmaster, more than
half of the Lila mail cars at
present in use are wood. A very
frequent practire of the railroads
is to wedge wooden mail car In
between steel cars with the result
that even in accidents where little
injury is done to the whole train
the mail car is smashed by the
weight OF the cars at each end OF

CRIME AMONG WOMEN

Some rather startling statistics
Of crime committed by women
have been made public at the
annual conference of the American
Institute Of Criminal Law and
Crminology by its president,
William Nathan MacChesney. 1t
appears from Mr.. MacChesney' S
figures that women conmit 20
per cent Of poisonings; this crime
and infanticide are increasing.
Only 10 per cent of the crime in
America is committed by women,
while in Great Britain, one to
every $50 here being classed as
criminal, against one to ev cry
l764 in Great Britain.
Habitual crime appears to be
Increasing among women, one
seventh of the number of women
committed to prison having
already been committed eleven to
twenty times. Tie inference is
that modern civilization is produc.
ing a distinct class of women, as a
result of the greater economic and
social freedom acquired by the
sex.
Perhaps the formation of such a
c ass is one Of the inevitableresults
Of complex civiiz alton: perhaps II
is one Of the penalties of freedom.
We cannot believe. however. that
women are anymore criminally
minded than they we're when their
life and work were confined to the
home; many offenses now classed
as crimes were moi then made
pubc when committed by tho sex.
The race is going forward, not
backward, individually and
socially. Statistics must be care
fully scrutinized and used with
caution. Stricter enforcement Of
laws, better detection of crime
and more complete registration Of
offences may account for the So
called increases. Yet it is not to
be denied that there is too much
crime, by men and by women
especially in the United States. -.

GOOO NEWS FOR ELKO
ARTISAN WATER STRUCK BY WESTERN
PACIFIC

The best news Elko has had for
long time was given to them
this forenoon, when a flow of
water was struck in the we'll being
driven by the Western Pacific
between it's shops and the round
house.
The reporter made a trip to the
we'll this afternoon and learned,the
following facts from Foreman
James Nutley:
Last night when work stopped
there were no signs OF water,
except surface water, in the we'll.
This morning at $3.50 O'Clock he
dropped the pump down t. clean
out the well before starting he
drill. The second time he raised
the pump he was surprised to find
that il had started flow of water.
The water filled pipe eleven and
five-eights inches in diameter and
flowed over the top at the rate of
two or three gallons a minute.
The flow continued steadily at that
rate and was still coming when the
reporter was there at o'clock
this afternoon. The top of tue
pipe is ten or twelve feet above
surface water level.
The water was struck in a
conglomerate formation, resemb-
ling soapstone, at depth of $50
feet. The drill had been in this
formation for about 20 feet. Mr..
Nutley expects 10 resmue drilling
some time tomorrow afternoon
and to go through the present
formation. This he is quite sure
will tap a heavier flow and make
the well the biggest kind of a
success.
The water now coming out of
the pipe is naturally muddy. 1t
has temperature of 7S degrees.
The present flow will not be suffic-
lent for the Western Pacific, but it
will doubtless increase as greater
depth is attained.
The well is being drilled by the
Linscott Drilling Company of
Oakland.

THE MAINE DESTROYED
BY OUTSIDE EXPLOSION

A Havana dispatch of the 25th
says:
The Maine was destroyed by an
external explosion. There is no
longer any doubt as to the manner
in which the United States battle
ship was sunk in this harbor on
the night of February l5. 1898.
The cofferdam about the wreck
has been pumped out, and the
mud cleared away to a greater
extent than. ever before. The
clearing away of the wreckage
reveals the double bottom of the
ship with part of the keel standing
in perpendicular position some
twenty-eight feet higher than the
natural posi- tion.
This probably confirms the re-
port and testimony which Ensign
Powelson gave before the invssti-
eating board after the disaster.
and which was based upon reports
made to him by divers just after
the explosion.
1t is the confirmed belief that
such a teariGg of the ships
bottom could not have been pro-
duci d by an inner explosion.
1t is furher said that no regula-
tion military mine could have
wrought such terrific havoc. 1t
must have been huge mine. as
Captain Sigsbee suggested at the
time. perhaps. sugar mill boiler,
or a large cask loaded with
explosives.

MCKENZIE ACQUITTED

The case of the State against
W. S. Mckenzie. the barkeeper at
the Railroad Hotel at Carlin,
charged with selling whiskey to
Max Spcrlich. a boy Is years of
age, was tried before Judge Klatte
and a jury this forenoon and the
defendant was acquitted. The
State was unuble to produce any
direct evidence against the defend.
ant. The boy swore that he
drank the whiskey the men at the
bar left in their glasses wien the
barkecpcr was not looking. He
convinced the jury that he was
lying, but they had no evidence
upon which they could find NC
Kenzie guilty. Several of the
jurors told the writer that they
believed him guilty, but could not
find a verdict against him on the
evidence.
IL is too bad that men can COM
nit this ofreuse and go free from
punishment because Of the failure
of witncssc to tell what they saw
and know.
The hoy struck the writer as
bel ng on the down grade with

good dose of slipper administered
with a strong heavy hand might

RELICS FOUND IN
HUMBOLDT GUANO CAVE

Relics of the grim tragedy Of
the guano cave have been unearth-
ed by workmen who have been en-
gagged in sacking the guano mater
ial for shipment to California.
Some weeks ago, as was an
nounced in the Tribune the new
industry of gathering and shipping
guano had been started in Love-
lock. This guano is located in a
big cave in the mountain side
about ter miles below Lovelock.
Hundreds of years ago. it was
the living place of millions of bats
and other winged creatures and
the excrement that was deposited by
them lines the walls and floor of
the cave for a great depth. There
is estimated to be several hundred
tons of this guano in the cave.
For some time workmen have
been engaged in sacklng the
guano and getting il ready for
shipment to California where it
brings price of $4,000 ton.
While digging out the guano,
the men came across a number Of
skeletons of Indians, also some
moccasins, and other Indian ap-
parel of the early day red men.
The moccasiDs are made of tules
in the fashion of the red men of
the days before the advent of the
white men.
According to All Indian legend.
that has been handed down by the
present tribe of Indians living in
Lovelock an Indian battle between
two tribes took place in the vicin.
ity of this cave. One band van
quished the other, and the con-
quered tribe, totly pursued, retest-
ed into the cave. The victors closed
in on the cave. walled up its en-
trance. and building a big smudge
in its mouth smoked the imprison-
ed foes to death.
The legend seems to be true,
judging from the finding of the In
dian relics buried deep in the
guano material.
J.H. Hart, one of those interest
ed in the project came to town yes
terday and had with him a number
of relics dug from the old cave.
These were made from tules and
willows woven together and were
in fairly good state of preserva.
toin. The men have not vet
reached the bottom of the guano,
and it is expected as the sacking
of the material progresses that
many more relics and skeletons
will be uncovered. .-Lovelock

THE TARIFF BOARD

We have heard a great deal
lately about the tariff board
appointed by President Taft and
for whose report he is waiting.
He vetoed the tariff bills passed at
the extra session of congress be-
cause the democrats and insurgent
republicans refused to wait for
the boards report. He couldn't
sign the bills to reduce the cost of
living because his tariff board had
not reported.
To show the character Of the
board upon which the. president
relies so much tie following
history of the tariff board is in
teresting. Is it strange that in
the light of that history the DEM
ocrats and insurgents refused to
wait? Read the boards history
and form yonr on conclusions on
the reasons given by President
Taft for vetoing the tariff bills:
The tariff board was created
Sept. 26, 1909. On June 7, 1911.
II months later, congress called
for whatever data the board had
collected on wool, and was in
formed the board had nothing to
report. What was the tariff board
doing during these 81 months?
Soon after the appointment Of
the board. its chairman Henry c..
Emery established head quarters
in the private residence of Fred
erick Hale, son Of Senator Eugene
Hale of Maine who has been
known for years as one of the
most powerful defenders Of ultra
protection. In October, 1910, it
was announced that "the work of
the tariff board was to tie
doomed at series of banquets.
For three months the banqueting
campaign occupied the time and
attention of the board. Among
the hosts was the Arkwright club.
the leading association of high
protection manufacturers of the
country. Then on Feb. l. 1911,
Chairman Emery was the guest of
the National Association of Wool
Manufactures the wards of
Schedule K-with William M.
Wood on one side and Vice Presi-
dent f. S. Clark on the other.
The plan finally adopted for
seitmating costs is the plan which.
at this dinner, Emery was advised
to adopt.
And this is the board for whose
report all tariff revision must he
held upl
