INDUSTRIAL. SUHOUL SITE
FINlLLY SELECTED

The lite for the new Nevada In
dustrial school has been selected.
1t will be located on the hill above
Gains switch four miles east of r.
.ko. The idea of erecting the big
buildings on the hill instead of on
the level ground below was to
afford a better view Of the sur.
rounding country from the school
and also to put the institution
where it could be best c from
the passing trains. II is proposed
to have the model farm connected
with the school placed between the
p broad and the school. This will
give a fine view Of What the in
mates are accomplishing.

BOOZE AND WOMEN
COST PILE OF MONET

Something like S25O,OpO a year
Is spent in the saloons and houses
Of Ill repute in Elko. Four Of the
most responsible and prominent
men in Elko county today made
this estimate which is approximate
ly correct. EIko a tom Of 1000
people spending S25O,OOO a year
or the primrose side Of life is GO
ing some. Here is the way the
estimate was made. there are 30
retail saloon licenses IN the corpor-
ate limits Of Elko. Il costs on an
average uf SIS a day u run a sa-
loon. Therefore TIE actual rost Of
operating saloons in Elko is $780,
$50 a year.
There are m an average 20 pros
titutes in Elko. 1t costs each Of
these ~omen E2I a week to live
Therefore it costs SCI 800 TO keep
these women each year. Therefore
the bare cost of operating the So
looms and red lighL houses in Elko
is sl86, $50. Add 10 this incidental
expenses of a minor nature and
the grand total is about $3.50, 600
a year.
But the $1,000 is By no means
all that is spent in the saloons or
dives. On the contrary no estimate
was made at all for the morey
spent il liquor in the red light
district but il is safe to say that
il is fully % per cent Of the amount
spent in the licensed sal ons. Then
add 10 this large amount o. money
spen. above the operating expenses
Of the saloons and also for the pro-
fts Of the dives and it is likely
that something like $500, 900 & year
Is spent in these places. Estinat.
ing Elko's populauonsst 1000 this
wodlJ mean that a sum equal 70
about 800 for each man, womsn
and child in town is spen, every
year. That is only the money end
of the transaction.
The grief and misery cannot be
estimated or put in dollars and
cents.
Some time ago the expenses OF
the police court were checked uE
and il was found that the revenue
on cases due TO the conditions men
toned was only one tenth Of tht
sum expended. This does not in
clude the su sequent costs Of tn
Sherifs office and hi trict Cour
for murder and other trials which
are also heavy. These figures fur
ni,h food for reflection.
