The engineer was in the cab and
theireman was filling a box with
sand. He told me that locomotives
cannot always get their grip on
an upgrade, especially when the
rails are wet because the wheels
go around, and so he sprinkles
sand on the rails. The great pnl
satipg, powerful engine cannot
pull its load without sand.
We need it, too, as we climb the
upgrade in our progress. The load
is often heavy and the tracks wet.
Without sand we could not get our
grip and would slide back. Keep

Of it to reach the summit. It is

EXTORT|ONATE FREIGHT RATES

Recently the Bonanza received
from apottery at Sebring, Ohio a
shipment Of dishes intended for
premiums for subscribers and it
was expected that the freight
would reach certain high figures
but the enormity of the charges
were not understood until the
freight bill showed the charges
amounted to $3.50 hundred. If
the goods had been shipped to San
Francisco $50 miles further the
cost of hauling would have been
$3.50 per hundred. The difference
is the penalty paid for living on a
desert. The mere matter of haul
ing does not seem to have any ap-
plication. To deliver these goods
in San Francisco it would have en-
tailed longer haul including a
climb over the Sierras. When a
protest was lodged with the pottery
manufacturers they answered that
they had taken the matter up with
the Western Association and were
informed that the excessive
charges were due to the difficulty
of transportation in Nevada" Per-
haps tire railroad still entertains
the belief that bull teams are the
only means of Transportation in this

THAT INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

A letter from Reno to q profess
sional man OF Elko asking what was
being done in the Industrial School
reveals a strange condition of
affairs. The writer was informed
that committee consisting Of Gov
Oddie, George Russell and Frank
Fernald was appointed by the legis-
lature to give the matter proper
attention and that the Elko men,
bers were awaiting the coming of
Gov Oddie to start the ball rolling.
On receipt of this information
the Reno man wrote that it was
never intended to build the school
in Elko. That the appropriation
of $4,000 made by the state was
available only when Elko raised
$4,000 in cash which has not Leen
raised and from present indications
never will be. Is Elko to be
made the butt of ridicule and have
her name paraded around the coun-
try as being a tightwad. With all
the wealth in Elko and her boasted
progressiveness such a condition is
not joke but a public calamity.
The Independent can name a
committee who will raise the $4,000
inside of twenty-four hours. Such
pinhead politics and financial gen.
ius as is being displayed in this
case is worse than suicidal-It
is making a monkey of the town
and county and unless the matter
is taken up at once Elko may just
as we'll take back seat and re-
main there for the rest of her nat
ural life. Here is a chance for the
Development League and Mer-
chants Association to get busy and
show that there is some reason for
their existence. Here is a golden
opportunity which should not be
neglected. The site for this In
dustral school was won for Elko
by our contingent in the legislature
after long and bitter fight and it
now looks like their efforts were
in vain. and Reno is to be the
beneficiary after all. Such a dis
play Of municipal Indifference and
niggardliness is a disgrace to the
town. Men who sleep on their
rights and jeopardize the pro-
gress and prosperity Of Gheir town
may he public spirited but The In
dependent has another name for
them.

In the Charles Eliot Norton Letters"
In Scribners Is pen picture Of George
Henry Lewes and George Eliot:
"The ugliest couple in London" So
Dickens described George Henry
Lewes and his wife to the Nortons.
They found the description Just.
Lewes when he received them at tho
door looked and moved like an old
fashioned French barber or dancing
master-very ugly, very vivacious.
very entertaining. We expect to see
him take up his fiddle and begin to
play" Yet his attainments were very
broad. and men like Darwin and
Charles Lyell spoke highly Of his
knowledge in their own departments.
AS for George Eliot: "One rarely sees
palmer woman-dun complexion, dull
eye, heavy features. For the greater
part Of two or three hours she and l
talked together with little intermis-
sion. Her talk was by no means bril-.
liant. She said not one memorable
thing. but 1t was the talk OF a person
OF strong miRd. who had thought much
and who felt deeply, and consequently
1t was more than commonly interest
Ing. Her manner was too intense
She leans over to you till her face Is
close to yours and speaks In very low
and eager tones, nor Is her manner

Rhyolite is so prosperous that no.

master although it is one of the
highest paid fourth class postoffices
in the United States. Attached to
the Office thsre is salary of S999

nation at Goldfeld to fill the "con-
templated" vacancy at Rhyolite,

plicants must reside in the terri
tory supplied by the postoffice and
has directed that for further par
ticulars" one should apply to the
local secretary Of the civil service
commission at Goldfeld or to the
postoffice at Rhyolite.
That looks fine but nobody has
applied and, according to those
who. have been trying to stir up
some interest in the matter, nobody
will apply; So the place is going

Ready Diagnosis. y
naceiuod by the Title.

In the titles Of books lie ct times
pitfalls for the unwary. An almost
classic example was afforded by John
Ruskin when in 1851 he wrote a short
pamphlet on the text, "There shall be
one fold and one shepherd" This.
which treated of the reunion of the
Protestant churches, was published as
"Notes on the Construction Of Sheep
folds"-a title which, appealing rather
to the agricultural than to the clerical
mind, insured brisk circulation
among farmers.
