NO DAMAGE FROM

nipeg grain firm wired a local firm
here in regard to the truthfulness of
the report of extensive damage here
from black rust. Information was at
once sent to Winnipeg that there is no
sign of anything except some red rust
here; the weather conditions are ideal
for wheat and the crop is coming for

no indications of black rust and the

DANGEROUS COLOR IS BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above tho Earth
Prefer Red for the Covering Of
Their Balloons.

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
balloon, don't buy a blue one. Red
ones are the best. There Is a scientific
reason why. According to the re-
searches OF N. Reynaud, caoutchouc 10
strongly attracted by the ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with a quartz tube, which is a power
full source Of such rays. This fact
has practical bearing in connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoutchouc.
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis.
covery that the envelopes suffer dur
Ing aScensions. and this is explained
oy the greater effect OF ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led to using yellow color.
Ing matter on the envelopes, and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. M. Reynaud con.
siders that red is the best color to
use, az 1t not only absorbs the ultra.
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely to share in the
pad action Of the suns rays upon bal
looms.

CITY OF BEAUTIFUL SMOKE
Really Picturesque Effects That Nav
Be Witnessed from PIttsburs's
Hills.

Robert Haven Schauffier. writing in
the Metropolitan, says: II never come
within range OF the unique spell OF
modern Pittsburg without wishing that
l might personally conduct thither the
sage who SO mendaciously declared
mat there is nothing new under the
sun. For Ptttsburg Is something new.
From any OF the city's 100 hills
one can enjoy more varieties OF smoke
In an hour than there are kinds of
clouds In month. These range all
the way from fairy shavings OF ice
and curls OF driven snow, through
geological strata OF pure cream, mis-
chieVous, evanescent ringlets OF blush
white. smudges family tinged with
olive, aerial bushes of delicate rose,
trees OF orange and rusty red, through
100 tones OF gray, from the most
ethereal fawn to sheer brutal dirt,
then deepening to black as rich as
the glossy, tarry coal from which II
sprang.
One convenient thing about the
smokescape is that you can enjoy
some part OF 1t wherever you happen
to be. Looking west along the canon
OF. Fourth avenue one morning the
lower parts OF the office buildings
were obliterated by a dense, low lying
bank OF soft, dusky smoke. But as the
eye travelled upward this cloud began
to thin, until. when 1t reached the
cornices, every detail OF them stood
out sharply In the sunlight against a
sky Of pale sapphire. Such effects are
az interesting az they are characters
tic Of the place."

IN MEMORIAM
Communicated

In the death Of L. L. Bradley,
Elko loses one of he, most popular
citizens and the many whom he has
befriended in the past have lost a
friend who was ever ready to put
forth the hand of fellowship and
help them over the rough places
of life.
Lew Bradley possessed that
attributes which the people of the
west so admire. he was square,
honest and faithful to his friends.
No higher tribute could be paid
to the remains of mortal man
than was rendered this morning as
the train came in bearing the cold
clay which once encased the heart
which all loved so we'll. When the
casket was being taken from the
train many of lis old associates
stood with barred heads and many
an eye was moist for they realized
that a friend had gone to that
shore from which no one returns.
When the news of his death
reached Elko it came as a shock to
the many who knew him: men talk
ed in lower tones, the events of the
lays were forgotten in the common
sorrow which all felt for there had
been stricken one who was ever
ready to help some one who was
in distress, a man had died, man
in whose veins ran the red blood of
human fellowship, a man who had
aided the poor and needy. a man
who was ALWAYS ready to give aid
to the unfortunate, q man who was
beloved throughout the state
because he was loving husband, a
devoted father, a dutiful son and a
faithful friend. When all that
remains, of him whom all knew and
liked is placed in the bosom of
mother earth there will always
remain in the memory of those
who knew him the knowledge that
he had added many fold to the
wUrl1's happiness.
