INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL SITE
FINALLY SELECTED

The site for the new Nevada In
d1strial school has been selected.
1t will be located on the hill above
Gains switch four miles east of El-
ko. The idea of erecting the big
buildings on the hill instead of on
the level ground below was to
afford better view of the sur
rounding country from the school
and also to put the institution
where it could be best seen from
the passing trains. 1t is proposed
to have the model farm connected
with the school placed between the
road and the school. This will
give fine view of what the in
mates are accomplishing.

his head. An inquest was held
last night and the coroner's jury
decided the man had ended his wn

The body was found by an en-

The Dead sea is vast lake about

waters of the lake, save for an almost

tolerably transparent, but salt and "bit-

BOOZE AND WOMEN
COST PILE OF MONEY

Something like S25O,OOO a year
is spent in the saloons and houses
of i'll repute in Elko. Four of the
most responsible and prominent
men in Elko county today made
this estimate which is approximate
ly correct. Elko town of 1000
people spending S250,OOO year
on the primrose side of life is 60
ing some. Here is the way the
estimate was made. There are 80
retail saloon licenses in the corpor-
ate limits of Elko. 1t costs on an
average uf SIS day to run a sa-
loon. Therefore the actual cost of
operating saloons in Elko is 1884,
$50 a year.
There are on an average 20 pros
titutes in Elko. 1t costs each of
these women $21 week to live
Therefore it costs $4,000 to keep
these women each year. Therefore
the bare cost of operating the sa-
looms and red light houses in Elko
is Sl86, ,l50. Add TO this incidental
expenses of a minor nature and
the grand total is about $19O,0OO
a year.
But the SI90,O0O is by no means
all that is spent in the saloons or
dives. On the contrary no estimate
was made at all for the money
spent in liquor in the red light
district but it is safe TO say that
it is fully rs per cent of the amount
spent in the licensed saloons. Then
add to this large amount of money
SpeRfe Sp etRea eahnfB66 thsa saRHp RHpeafsa5ip
fits of the dives and it is likely
that something like $4,000 year
is spent in these places. Estimat-
ing Elko's population at 1900 this
would mean that sum equal to
about $1OO for each man, woman
and child in town is spent every
year. That is only the money end
of the transaction.
The grief and misery cannot be
estimated or put in dollars and
cents.
Some time ago the expenses OF
the police court were checked up
and it was found that the revenue
on cases due to the conditions men,
toned was only one tenth of the
sum expended. This does not in
clude the subsequent costs Of the
Sheriffs office and District Court
for murder and other trials which
are also heavy. These figures fur
nish food for reflection.
