4 y English philosopher once
n wrote a book on the human
hand. showing its inimitd-
bic adaptations to it, purpose, and
its almost infinite capabilities as
an instrument or tool
There is no doubt that many Of
the most ingenious and effective
mechanical inventions that have
ever been made are based upon.
and We're probably suggested by,
the wonderful capacities of the hui
man hand and fingers. Inventors
have been able to follow these
hints from the structure OF the
hand because. by daily use. all the
various functions Of its different
parts are perfectly understood.
The wing of bird is as marvel
GUS an instrument as the hand of
a man, and if its action could be
as easily comprehended it would
show us very quickly the best way
to construct flying machine. Tn
fortunately, since we were not
born with wings. there are many
things about them which are mys-
teTies to us.
Inventors well understand this
fact, and special studies of the
wings Of birds are being made for
the purpose of getting more light
upon their action, in order that the
knowledge thus acquired may Dc
applied to the Improvement of
aerOplanes.

THE WHITE BIRDS
6After Reading lIaeterlInck)
BY Lillian LAUFERTY.

IKE great white birds across a SIlv
l. That may Toe blue or riven gray.
Thoughts come to me- know NOT vbv--
Thoughts come in flight, but will not stay.
As great white birds from some far land
In flight to realms I can not GUESS.
My heart by some Whita thought is famed
That just in passing still can bless
In one swift glimpse Of beauty rare
Against the background Of the ~kv.
My heart has learned Of visions fair.
And feels sweetness pure and high.
Perhaps It's goodness from within
That fu1ters out TO seek the sky.
Perhaps We glimpse the greater good.
To make US long-and dream-and try.

uncle to former Warden Ray Baker,
has been announced. Lack of dis
cipline and the betterment of the SER
vice at the prison are said to have
been given as causes of their re-
moval by Warden Dickerson.
By virtue of an order entered in
the record at the time of Dickerson's
appointment Warden Dickerson has
absolute control ver such affairs,
and his actions are not to be ques-
toned by the prison board. This
order was made on motion of Cover

animous. Later Secretary of State
Brodigan asked permission to have
his vote changed and recorded
against the adoption of such an
order. Permission was grented and
Brodigan's vote was changed.
1t also is announced that Sergeant
Fravel of the state police has been
relieved and another mar appointed
to fill the vacancy. The cause of

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
LAW PROHIBITS GAMBLING,

Attorney General George Thatch-
er, has written to Hon. j. A. Sanders,
district attorney of Nye county, CIV
ing his opinion on the new gambling
law. The letter was in answer to one
written by Mr.. Sanders, asking for
the official opinion of the attorney
general. as to the effect of the new
law. The attorney general holds hat
real gambling is prohibited, and says
in part:
Il have to advise that in my op-
inion this act in unequivocal terms
absolutely prohibits all gambling of
any character or nature
1T is clear from the section
that it was the intent of the legisla-
ture to prohibit absolutely the con-
duct or playing at any game of faro,
monte, roulette, ~lansquenet. rouge EFT
noir, rondo, tan, ~fantan, seven-and-a
half, twenty-one, hokey-pokey, craps,
k~londyke, or any banking or percen-
tage game played with cards, dice, or
any device, for money. property,
! checks, credit, or any representative
of value. The act also prohibits the
conducting, managing or permitting
any game, in which the owner or
keeper of the game receives directly
or indirectly any compensation or re-
ward or any percentage of the money
or property played and likewise pro-
hibits the maintenance of any slot ma
chine played for money or checks re-
deemable in money; and further pro-
hibits the making of books or the
sale and buying of pools on horse
racing. The matters set forth in the
first portion of Section 253, and
which are prohibited thereby, are
under the terms of the statute made
a felony. The second portion of the
statute, commencing on line 81 of the
printed bill and following thereafter,
in my opinion absolutely prohibits
the playing or carrying on any other
gambling game; and in my opinion
the proviso in the bill conserving So
cial games played for drinks and
cigars and for prizes not exceeding
two dollars does not in any way af-
feet the provision of the act, which
prohibits and makes unlawful the
carrying on of games not specifically
mentioned in the act.
Il am further of the opinion that
the word prize does not and is not
intended to allow the playing of
games for stakes of two dollars, and

ELKOts GOOD ROADS" IDEA.

Sunday night, an association was
formed at Elko, to be known as the
Elko County Automobile association.
with but one object in view, that of
Good Roads, says the Elko Free
Press. F. S. Gedney was elected
president, E. L. Simonsen vice presi-
dent, and r. H. Hesson secretary and
treasurer. The following are charter
members: Judge Curler, J. E. Smell
son, A. w. Henson, R.W. Hesson, f.
S. Van Leer, Harry Ray, E. l.. Simon
sen, Guy Savel, Verdi Lumber Co.,
Jas. Bellinger, Webster Patterson, w.
r. Mayer, F. S. Gedney and d.. d.
Holgate.
1t was decided that every Sun
day a number of the members would
take their cars and their friends and
start Out over a section of road in
the county, making all the minor re-
pairs, filling in the chuck holes,
throwing the rocks out of the road,
and doing the little things that would
take so much time of the road SUI
pervisor and which could be done in a
few hours by a party of men working
together. The membership fee is
IS, which will be spent on the roads.
There are over a hundred cars in the
county, and the association expects
to have a big membership, but it is
not necessary to be an owner of a
car to be eligible.

AS the western skies were shot
with quivering lines of mauve and
gold, the whole "57 varieties" of the

the peaceful Elko fold. They pune
tured space with loud cries against

speech and song, the word capital

crowd of the "You-Are-Not's" They
proclaimed the coming of other
pilgrims 100 strong to join them in
their hike to Denver.
Then the darkness hushed; the
moon stared; the stars crept closer;
the songs ceased. There seemed to
be an age-long silence such as must
have been before the world was.
Some one from the sheriff's depart
ment whispered something that
sounded like Move On, and Com
rade Tscharskowsky and his Sc fol
lowers left for Denver giving a long
lingering look at Elko, that would
