PERSONAL

John A Gill Of the Southern Pa
cfic is in town today. He has just
returned firm side trips TO Eureka
and Tuscarora. Mr. Gill is most OPP
timistic, as to Nevada's future. He
thinks Elko County is likely to be
the recipient of a big share of
population which is commencing
10 head for Nevada.
Peter Chiara, of Battle Noun
tain is backfrom sunny Italy. He
and his mother stopped off in Elko
on No 9 today. They report a fine
trip and Pete is better looking than
ever, while his mother is looking
ten years younger. A little trip to
the old country now and then is a
mighty fine thing to take. It's good
for brain fae and is a rCnewer Of
youth.

The GOVERNOR OF new YORK

The impeachment of Governor
Sulzer, Of New York and his def
ance of his accusers is a new
wrinkl in American politics. The
] gislature o. his state have i'm
peached him for misuse of public
funds, bribery, and other grave
charges. He should have common
decency enough to take a back
seat, until the truth or falsity Of
these charges are proven. The
Governors chair of the Empire
state should not be besmirched any
lunger-Goi knows New York has
enough sins TO answer for already
without adding TO the ignomy by
the official acts IF q corrupt Gov
ernor. The Lieutenant Governor
claiming the right to the title Of
acting governor and Ex-Governor
Sulzer is trying to hold the fort
against all Corners. Both men are
as uming the duties Of chief execu-
tive and a legal battle is on while
the political pat is IN a state Of
turmoil New York is truly the

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
ALONG WESTERN PACIFIC

The Western Pacific is arranging
for extensive improvements i'm
mediately along its whole line in
Neavda. Large forces of men will
be put to work putting the road
bed in first class shape. Traffic,
both passenger and freight is rap
idly increasing and it has been
found necessary to put the road in
shape to accommodate this big
rush. AS fast as the men can b.
secured they will be put to work
on road bed improvements. This
means a big outlay on the part of
the road but business is so brisk
that it was necessary to get busy
at once.

SUMMER SESSION.
Middlebury College Announces an
Attractive List of instructors.

The Summer Session Bulletin of Mid
dlebury college for 1918 announces an
attractive list of instructors and courses
of study. Never before has the pro-
fessional standard of the instructing
force been so high and one is impressed
with the long list of members of the
college faculty who forego the pleasures
of vacation in order to contribute
towards the succ ess of the summer ses-
sion. The list is headed by President
John M. Thomas, who will give his
Silver Bay series of lectures of this
season, "The Background of the
Gospels" Other faculty members are
Professors Sanford, Burrage, McFar-
land, Wetherell, Robinson, Cunning
ham, Cady White, Lyford, Paine,
Voter, and Miss Wells. Seven addi-
tional instructors from other institutions
complete the list, four of whom are al
ready favorably known in Middlebury:
Professor Pettingill of Harvard uni
versity, and Professor Stetson of Dart
mouth college, who gave courses last
year in German and physics respect
lively, will return this season; also Dr.
c. E. Hesselgrave of Chatham, New
Jersey, and Miss Pierce of North An
dover, Mass, who were abroad last
summer, will return to enter upon their
fourth year as instructors in the
session.
The director of the session, Professor
Mcfarland, has been fortunate in Sc
curing the services of Prof. j. w. Dins-
more, dean of the normal department
Of Berea college, Kentucky, as instruct
or in elementary education. Dean Dins-
more has national reputation as an edu-
cator he was president of the elemen-
tary section of the National Educational
association in 1900. Among teachers he
is favorably known through his two
books, Teaching a District School"
and THE Training of Children. "
Vernon C. Harrington, L. H. D., of
Cleveland, Ohio, a Middlebury graduate,
and Donald H. Wheeler, master in pub
lie speaking in the Lawrenceville school,
New Jersey, will offer courses IN En-
glish literature and public speaking in
addition to courses given by members
of the college staff.
