new S. P. DEPOT POSSIBLE

Elko may get q new Southern
Pacific Passenger depot early next
year. The present shack, slander-
ously called depot has long out
lived its usefulness and is an eye
sore to the whole community.
There have been many kicks
against TINS unsigbtly relic of pio-
neer days and it now looks az
though the kicks might bear fruit.
That the S P bas been considering
the advisibility of q new depot for
Elko is known but when the new
edifice is to be started has not been
officially announced. Il 10 believed
here that when work on the new
freight station is begun there will
also be something in the way of
a new passenger station. The Elko
Development League will lend its
influence toward prodding ths 8 P
officials into action.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY

Detroit, Sept 30-"The response
by the large business and financial
interests to the recent appeal Of
the Lincoln Highway Association
for funds with which to build a
trans-continental highway has been
most gratifying" said Emory W
Clark, president of the First Ma
tional Bank and treasurer of the
Association, today.
"Our pledges at this date total
upwards of five million dollars.
Many Of our leading business inter-
asts in the United States have
pledged us a sum equal to one per
cent of their gross yearly business
but usually u fixed amount is stat
ed. The largest contributor is one
for $500, 900 and we have a number
ranging from $40, 900 to $3.50, 900
including several at the higher
figure.
subscriptions have come from
many representative men as James
G Cannon, President Of the First
National Bank, New York. One
of our state cuusels is banker in
Clinton, Iowa. w Coan, president
of the Clinton National Bank. Mr.
Coan is state consul for Iowa and
is leading in the campaign for
funds from that state.
Among the railroad men who
have contributed are w w After
bury, vice-president Of the Pennsyl-
vania company and w G Brown,
president Of the New York Central
Lines. Chief executives of our
states have also shown their inter.
est. remittance reaching US in one
\ deg @from-the Governor, of Utah
the Governor Of Wyoming and tn,
Governor of Indiana.
While the route has been an
nounced the actual work of con
struction Of the Highway will not
be started so far as this Association
is concerned until the ten million
dollars which is required has been
pledged. This is our work at the
present time. Each state has q
chief consul with power to appoint
consuls along the route and in con-
tiguous territory. Through the
sale Of certificate accompanied by
membership cards end card en-
blems we hope to raise the desired
sum by July /. 1914.

Local Lodge of Boy Scouts.

Mr.. w. M. Carothers, a well
known citizen of the town, has
organized branch here of the
Boy Scouts of America. The
organization now has a member
ship OF about twenty. A few
nights ago Mr.. Carothers took
his troup of scouts to the woods
west of town where a big fire
was built and for an hour or
more the boys were made ex-
tremely happy. The object of
the order is to take the boy when
he thinks he is having a good
time, and when he really is. and
teach him valuable lessons on
various subjects: and, also, to
lnstill in him a code of morals
from which it is likely he will
never depart. One of the moral
precepts is a pledge that binds
him to be honest, unselfish,
courteous, and to desire to help
others and do some kind act
daily. The basis of the move
ment is in no way militarism,
the idea, however, is to keep the
boys divided into squads so that
a close scrutiny may be kept on
their actions.

The Piano Contest.

It's what you do today that
counts, not what you are going
to do tomorrow.
The Times is taking a great
pride in the piano contest and
the number of young ladies who,
by brave effort. are trying to
win the beautiful instrument.
The object of The Times in ar
ranging to issue votes in the
piano contest is to increase the
circulation of the paper and up
to the present time results to this
end have been most gratifying.
The contest means that the win
ner will be the young lady who
appreciates resourcefulness, pa
tience and get-there-quick quail
ties. 1t is a business proposition
for young ladies who like excite
ment and attainment of business
principles. Competition is the
life of success and it also makes
achievement worth while. The
contest offers a reward of such
great value and desirability that
contestants who are in to win
should spare neither time nor
effort to keep we'll ahead in the
race. The contestant who at the
beginning eXerts the greatest
effort has a decided advantage
over the one who lags along un-
til near the close and attempts
to overtake the leaders.
In The Times this week is
offered a bonus of 500 votes, or a
total of 625 votes. for each new
subscriber, or renewal, sent in
on Saturday, and is expecting to
enroll even a greater number
than was added to the lists on
last Saturday. Contestants should
make an effort each day to in
duce their friends to subscribe
to the paper and promise to save
the coupons which will appaer in
each issue during the contest.
Begin a canvass of your COM
munity today and, if you prefer,
hold the subscriptions until Sat-
urday in order to secure the
bonus votes, but be sure 20 send
In what names you may have on

scribe want their paper at once.

votes turn them in on Wednesday

NEGRO BURNED AT STAKE

Saturday at Houston, Missis-

took his testimony admitting his
guilt, Divil Rucker, a negro. 80
years old, in the presence of
1000 persons, was condemned to
death and, while the sheriff and
his deputies looked on, powerless
to act, was chained to steel
pump in the courthouse yard, oil
soaked wood was piled about
him, the match was applied and
the body was incinerated. A
member of the mob fired four
shots into Rucker's body before
he died.
The lynching of Rucker was
the second in two days in the
town of Houston and followed
the killing of Mrs. j. c.. Williams
who was clubbed to death at her
home there in the daytime Thurs
day, her body being thrown in a
PIT under the house after it had
been stripped of a diamond ring
and other jewelry. Andrew Viii

A dispatch from Washington
says that the postmaster general
has issued orders to employees
of the postoffice department to
paint everything red. Wine
colors and pale, sickly reds will
not do; RED is the word, Every
delivery wagon, city, parcel post
and rural free delivery vehicle
must be red, and even the mail
boxes throughout the country
must take ON a bright reddish
color.
The only protests that are apt
to be heard, it is thought, will be
from the rural carriers, who will
say that in their red wagons
they are likely to be chased by
all the bulls and turkey gobblers
along their routes, to say nothing
of the scores of dogs.

Pellagra in the United States.

There were from thirty to
fifty thousand cases of pellagra
in the United States within the
last six years, with death rate
of about 80 per cent. These
figures constitute only a rough
estimate of the number of cases,
owing to the defective machinery
for securing vital statistics.
Lavinder, of the United States
public health service, has gath
cred figures on the prevalence
and distribution of pellagra in
the United States. Figures have
been secured from State authori-
ties, from public Institutions and
from private sources. A map
shows that pellagra has been re-
ported from every State in the
union except New Hampshire in
the east, and group of western
and northwestern States COM
prising Idaho, Minnesota, Mon
tana, the two Dakotas, Utah,
Wyoming and Nevada. The
greatest prevalence is found in
the group usually spoken of as
the Southern States. In only
one State is the disease report
able by law. Pellagra cannot
be compared in prevalence with
such disease as typhoid fever,
for example, yet the large num-
ber of cases and the high NOR
tallty-rate, together with its
wide and apparently increasing
distribution, make it a disease of
national Importance
