the University of Nevada is prepar-
ing for the establishment of the
branch postoffice at the main build
ing Of the university and has set
aside space in a small storeroom
between his Office ana the main
hallway for the postoffice station.
He expects to have the outer wall

ed. Under present conditions at
the university the delivery Of mail
to students is rather uncertain and
unsatisfactory.

LAMOILLE POWER

The last shipment of machinery
for the big power plant in Lamoille
Canyon was sent out today and
electric current generated by wat
or power will soon be delivered 10
Elko. The largest generator weighs
nearly 5000 pounds and together
with the transformers and switch
boards, made up a full carload of
material. In addition to the light
ing load the company will be able
to offer attractive rates for the
use Of electric power for irrigation
pumping and other water applica-
tons. This should prove an i'm
portant factor in the development
of indus ries in Elko County.
Southern Pacific Co. officials
have already applied to Manager
B. G. Mcbride for an extension of
the lines to Carlin to supply light
and power to the shops located
there. Supt. F. o Broili and Asst.
Supt. G. A. Stephenson are today
directing force of men employed
on the installation of the large
high voltage transformers at the
Elko Power House. The generator
will be set on it's foundations at the
Lamoille Power House on Monday
and the switchsboards. transform
ers. etc, will be assembled in place
during the following week.
Owing to the necessity for exact
alignment and extremely accurate
connections in the machinery, some
weeks will probably be required
before the plant is finally made
ready for operation. Manager Nc
Bride has had all details of the
work moving along without hitch
and the plant will be completed on
schedule time and within the esti-
mated expenditure. This is re-
markedly efficient record for new
work over rough natural obstacles.
The transmission line will carry
pressure of 10000 volts and is cap
able Of eventually transmitting g.

Restaurants,

A restaurant is place where you
pay four dollars for fifteen cents
worth OF food, accompanied by about
two dollars worth of light labor, light
china and light music, which you have
heard before. After leaving your hat
with Wall street syndicate, you pay
all the way from ten cents to a quar-
ter for the privilege Of getting 1t back
and wearing 1t once more. The diff
ference between a man and woman
indeed today Is quite simple. A wom-
an pays fifty dollars all at once for
her hat, while man pays FIVE dollars
for his and fifty-fve more in tip in
stallments for storage at restaurants
while he is vainly trying to obtain
enough nourishment to sustain life
between times.
The object of all restaurants is to
furnish you with everything you want
except nourishment. This Is carefully
extracted from all food before It
reaches you.
Every restaurant nowadays has at
tached to 1t homeless hotel and a
drugless drug store, also a newspaper
stand, where you can buy a paper for
not over twice what you can get It
for almost any night you don't want
them at the same rates. Every res
taurant also has a wine cellar, which
ts filled with native cobwebs, Euro
pean labels and California grape Juice.

WONDERFUL WIRELESS AGAIN

An unprecedented phenomena in
wireless telephone and telegraphy
was told by Captain Schmidt, of
the German steamship Solfels, who
reports while bound from Calcutta
and Ceylon to Philadelphia he
heard the clear notes of flute at
st. Micheals, 395 miles distant
from the Solfels. On the night of
September 29, Wireless Operator
Blitz called Captain Schmidt's as
we'll as Chief Officer Lampe's atten-
ton to the fact that someone was
playing on the flute, the notes Of
which were clear and distinct to
both Operator Blitz and Chief OFF,
Ger Lampe. AS the near est land,
the Azores Islands, was approxi-
mately 400 miles away, all hands
were interested to know where the
music came from. The music con-
tinued and wireless message was
sent to st Micheals, the capital of
the Azores. A reply stated that it
was a national holiday and the man
flute was playing God save the
King"

A room clerk in one Of the big
hotels declares that the task of de-
Iciphering signatures has reached q
crisis.
ut has got 10 the point where we
couldn't blum on names any longer"
he said. I'm these days Of constant
telephoning and telegraphing we've
simply got to be sure that every
guests name is correctly entered on
our books or there's bound to be
trouble.
"Of course a successful hotel clerk
must have a gift for deciphering bad
signatures just as he must have q
good memory for names and faces,
but when a man we've never seen be-
fore comes in and scrawls a long
wavy line on the register without q
single letter plain enough to even
guess at, how are we going to call
him by name the next minute? He
may have important mail waiting for
him or he may be telephoned for any
minute, SO our request for a legible
signature arises out Of necessity"
A member Of a law firm on whose
letterheads is printed "a legible sig
nature is requested" says that these
few words have saved his firm much
trouble. Papers no longer have to be
returned for resigning, as was for
merly the case, because the first sig
nature could not be read. Before this
request for a legible signature was
made important legal documents often
had to be entirely rewritten because
one Of the parties refused to accept
the signature Of some of the others
on account OF their ELIGIBILITY.

MORE TIME FOR DIvoRcES

An Iowa legislator has pro- posed a plan which seems a good one for dealing with the divorce problem. He has in- troduced a bill which provides that petition for divorce can- not be heard until year after it is filed. This is to prevent hurry in dlssolving the wedd- ing contract and to give the husband and wife time to think it over. That seems to be a fair bill. It takes no stanf against divorce as an lnstltu-
 tion, but simply says that after the petition has been filed { year, an dthe parties still feel that they cannot live together then the petition may be heard.
