BOTTLE BROKERS.

Traffic in Russia.

A Curious Branch of the Fiery vodka
Traffic in Russia.
Since the edict of June 6, 1891. the
production and sale of vodka. that fiery
brink In which most Russians delight
have been controlled by the govern
ment. OF the 10000 places engaged in
the vodka traffic in European Russia
more than one-half are conducted by
the state under the direct supervision
of the ministry of finance.
Most Of the employees in the govern
ment vodka shops are widows and
orphans of deceased officials Of the
state. These shops are conducted in
an orderly manner, and no drinking is
permitted on the premises. The fact
that a charge ranging from ! cent to
0 cents is made for the bottle in which
the vodka is sold has given rise to
strange business.
Bottle brokers. as they are called.
haunt the neigh5orhood Of the vodka
shops, watching for some thirsty per-
son who needs the loan of one or two
kopeckS "a half cent or cent with
which to make the purchase Of bottle
Of the desired beverage.
Perhaps the buyer has but six ko-
pecks and he requires eight to get a
bottle of vodka. The "broker"- lends
him the two kopecks to make up the
desired amount. and, after the recep-
tacle has been drained under the vigi-
liant eye of the broker, the bottle is
turned over to him. He takes it back
TO the shop and sells it for three ko-
becks, thus making a profit of one ko-
peck.

dreds of men are earning a living at

To Test Law Creating
N0Vada'S Tax Commission

1t is understood that the fight
which is to be made by certain tax
payers of Elko County against the
ruling of the Tax Commission will
be taken up on the grounds that the
bill which created the commission
was not regularly passed by the Leg
islature and that it is correspondingly
illegal. A search of the records of
the bill has been made at the insti-
cation of the eastern people and it is
believed that before many days a
suit will be started which will take
the matter up to the Supreme Court
for final action.
1t will be remembered that during
the closing hours of the Legislature
a protest was filed in both Houses
against the passage of the bill wherein
it was claimed that the bill was
passed in an irregular ann and
was not binding nor in force. This
protest was UNDECIDED and it is gen.
orally believed is without merit. The
Elko County contest will probably
start the fight which will be extreme
ly interesting carson News.

IMPORTANT RAILWAY MOVE
Material Ordered and All Ar.
engagements Made For Western
Pacific Connection With K.
N. Railway At Palisade

w. j. Shotwell, Assistant General
Freight Agent of the Western Pa
cifc Railway, and B. F. Nevins, also
of the freight department of that
company, arrived here by yesterdays
train and remained over until the de-
parture of to-day's train.
During their visit here these
gentlemen stated that surveys had
been made and all arrangements
completed for the handling by their
company of pres and freight from
Eureka and other tributary sections
through connections with the Eureka
Nevada Railway at Palisade.
The material for putting a bridge
across the Humboldt river at Pail
SADIE and the extending of the West
tern Pacific tracks into the yards
of the E. N. Railway there have
been ordered and this work will be
started at once.
Further than this these railway
officials refused to go, but the fact
that the Western Pacific is going
to the heavy expense of -immedi-
ately putting a bridge across the
Humboldt at Palisade to connect
with our local road we believe
strongly indicates that the Eureka
Nevada Railway and the Richmond
Eureka Mining Company have, or
are about to come to an agreement
over traffic matters.
This present move of the West
ern Pacific looks very favorable for a
renewal of active operations of the
Ruby Hill and other mines of this
district, and important new de-
velopments looking to this end
may, we believe, be looked for
very shortly.

SUPT. BRAY VISITS EUREKA
Members of County Board Of Education
Appointed To Establish Normal
School

State Superintendent of Public
Instruction John Edwards Bray was
an arrival here by Mondays train
from Carson and remained until
Wednesday morning visiting and ex-
aiming the public schools.
Superintendent Bray in coming to
Eureka found two designations from
the County Board of Education--F.
lmObersteg and w. j. Hooper. He
appointed A. T, Taylor and R. A.
Laird to fill the vacancies. The new
Board organized with Mr.. Laird as
president and Mr.. Taylor as secre-
tary. The third member of the
Board is d. E. Nostrosa, who has
been in California for several months
with his invalid wife.
Mr.. Bray stated that a County
Normal Training School will be es-
tablished here as soon as the State
Board of Education takes action,
as there are 'nye vi muIe legally
qualified students who have promised
to take up the work, and both the
Board of County Commissioners and
the County Board of Education are
cooperating for the establishment
of the school.
The entire control and manage
ment of County Normal Training
Schools is in the hands of the State
Board of Education and the teachers
are paid out of the State general
fund, the only expense to the County
being the furnishing of a room and
the necessary equipment.
Prof. Bray stated that he believed
that the necessary equipment could
be rented from some other County at
small expense. A room for the use
of the school will probably be ar
ranged in the public school building
thus making the expense to the
County very light.
No tuition charge is made and the
school may be entered without ex-
animation by graduates of any stand
ard High School, and those holding
teachers certificates, without ex.
animation. Others may enter upon
meeting requirements set by the
State Board of Education which will
be made known as soon as the school
is ready to open, shortly after the
LIST of October.
Tograduates of the County Norma
Training School three : year 2nd
grade elementary certificates are
given.
As the County Normal is only
maintained while there are a suf-
fcient number of students enrolled
it will be we'll for all who can to take
advantage of this session for it is
quite likely there will be none here
next year.
Superintendent Bray visited the
schools here Tuesday and reported
finding them running to good ad-
vantage, with competent teachers ir
charge. He would like to see more
practical features of work intro.
duced, a proposition that he il
everywhere advocating.
