SURVEYORS IN PARTNERSHIP

E c McClelland, the we'll known
surveyor of Elko County and east
ern Nevada has taken a partner in
the surveying profession, having
arranged to take Charles F De Ar
mand into his Office. Mr. De Ar
mand is not new man in the State.
He was connected with the Bald
Mountain mines for some time and
managed to secure one of Elko
County's fairest daughters, having
married Sylvania Mayhem two
years ago. He is a mining engi-
neer and surveyor of considerable
prominence, and Mr. Mcclellan con-
siders he is fortunate in finding a
partner who he believes will hold
the firm name as high as he has
his own.
In an interview with Mr. McClel-
Ian he said that he had been on a
still hunt for some young man to
take in with him for several years;
that while at the present he finds he
can accomplish more in his profess
sion than he could years ago, he
knows the time will come when he
will have to retire from actual
work in the field, and he wishes to
turn over to some one he can trust
the knowledge he has acquired in
the years he has roamed over the
country. 1t is the know ledge that
can never be found in books, but
collected by many miles Of travel
over the land and saved up by HIM
for future use. Such knowledge
generally is lost when the possess
or dies and only acquired by an
other in the same way-or never
found at all.

Mysticism of the East.

You hear a great deal of the "Myu-
ticism Of the east" writes Ed. w.
Howe in his Travel Notes. This mys-
ticism is as foolish as the doggerel
used by children when they count the
buttons on your. coat: "Rich man,
poor man, Deggar man, thief" and so
on. Mysticismsnever means anything.
The west solves riddles and discov-
ers how to produce a hundred BUSH
els Of corn to the acre; the east pays
great attention to mysticism and has
more poor, dirty and ignorant people
than any other part of the world.
When the plague breaks out in the
east, as result OF foolish pilgrimages
to Mecca or Benares, the pilgrims say
the plague is part of the mysticism
Of the east, and continue to drink
holy and dirty water. But the men
Of the west have a better doctrine
It's chief tenet is, "Clean Up" and the
plague disappears hafore it,

RutumaYo Indians.

The Indians Of the Putumayo dis
trict Of Peru, whose brutal abuse by
the rubber companies has aroused
the world, are described in q recent
issue Of Folklore by Capt. T. w.
Whiffen, who apparently lived among
them before they were subjected to
the white mans kindly attention. Ac-
cording to Captain Whiffen they are
pretty hard lot themselves. For
example, they kill the second twin
at birth, and the mother always
browns a sickly or deformed child.
They kill their prisoners and eat
them. In fact they were still in the
stone age when Captain Whiffen
studied them and, contrary to the
opinion of Doctor Martin, had never
been any higher in the evolutionary
scale. Their only social function was
sort of dance, to which the partici-
pants and audience were summoned
by the beating of drums so loud that
it could be heard for a distance of
eight or ten miles. One Of the curl
Gus customs described by the captain
was their method Of using tobacco.
The leaf was made into a "treac1ay
decoction" and this was licked cere-
monially" by friends in the tribal
palaver, and also as a sort of binder
like an oath-in making con-
tract.

PETITION TOO LATE: WILL
TEST NATURALIZATION ACT

Pittsburg, October 3-Thousands
of aliens who have taken out their
first papers are interested in the
action of Paul Kontor, proprietor
of the International Employment
Bureau, who has instituted suit in
the United States Court to test the
naturalization act of 1906, one
provision of which went into effect
at midnight Friday. A number of
foreigners have joined in the ac-
tion Of Kontor which was brought
by Attorney Samuel J Horvitz to
have the provision declaring that
final papers must be applied for
within seven years declared uncon-
stitutioual.
Kontor first declared his inten-
tion to become an American citizen
in 1902, and owing to the fact
that the seven years provision Of
the late naturalization act went in
TO effect on midnight of last Fri
day, called that afternoon at the
local naturalization Office in the
Government building to apply for
his final papers. The office was
crowded with many aliens who also
wanted to come within the provis-
ions of the law.
Kontor claims that, with many
others he was told that the office
was unable to accept his petition
because there were too many 9TH
ers ahead of him.
When he failed to get them in
he left and returned yesterday
morning, expecting that because
he had been there he would have
his papers accepted as of that date.
He was informed, he claims, he was
coo late; that the time had expired
on midnight, September 26.
Kontor then started a test of the
act, claiming that as he had filed
his first papers before the act was
passed in 1906, that the provision
of seven years for the second pap.
ers, did not apply to him or similar
cases. He claims that the intent
of Congress was that the Act of,
1906 was not to have a retroactive
effect. This is the first suit start
ed in the United States under this
act, and foreigners and attorneys
all over the country are interested
in it's outcome. The case will pro-
badly reach the United State Su.
preme Court before it is finished.

K. 7. CONMANDERY
FOR GLkO; ALSO NEW
MASONIC TEMPLE

The Masons of Elko are at pre-
sent have two propositions afoot,
that of organizing a Commandry
Of Knights Templar and also the
erection of a new Masonic temple.
Both propositions have been dis
cussed for some time but until now
not great deal of headway has
been made. 1t is probable that
some time this month those Masons
of Elko County who are now
Knights Templar will get together
in Elko for the purpose of taking
up the matter of petitioning the
General Grand Commandry of the
United States for dispensation for
Commandry for Elko. There is
no Grand Commandry in Nevada
and as n result the petition would
have TO 20 to the supreme body
Of the United States. The nearest
Commandry is at Reno which is
at the other end of the state, 314
miles away. Railroad fares for
this distance makes it impossible
for Elko Templars to go to Reno
to attend lodge. In Elko there
are quite a number of Templars
whose membership is generally in
their native towns in all parts of
the union. All of these are will
ing to shift their membership to
Elko if commandry is established
here. At the present time Ely and
Winnemucca are striving to have
a Commandry chartered in their
towns bit it is believed Elko will
win because this town is the logi-
cal center for this end of the state.
The nearest commandry on the east
is Salt Lake City nearly 300 miles
away. At the present tims there
are probably 40 Knightss Templar
in Elko and a number of others
scattered about the county. 1t is
quite certain this matter will
come to a head this month.
The matter of a new temple also
has been hanging fire for long
time and is in fair way to bear
fruit soon. The local blue lodge
and chapter already have some
money on hand for temple pu-
poses. 1t is said a fine two story
building is planned. The first floor
to be rented out for business pur-
poses while the whole second Fl cor
will be used fer lodge purposes.
If the new temple is built the sec
ond floor would be 80 arranged as
to be the finest lodge rooms in the
west and have the necessary ante
rooms and all conveniences. At
the next regular meeting of Elko
Lodge F & A M and Elko Chapter
r. A. M. the temple proposition is
likely to be brought up for discus.
sion so that all details can be
quickly settled and the work on the
new temple started next spring, il
started at all.

UNION PACIFIC 10
BUY WESTERN PACIFIC

According to the San Francisco
Examiner the Western Pacific may
soon pass under the control of the
Union Pacific. Since the dissolution
of the Southern and Union Pacific
roads the Union Pacific has had an
unsatisfactory method of getting
its business in and out of San
Francisco. The Examiner inti-
mates that the Southern Pacific is
freezing out the Union Pacific in
the California field and in retalia.
tion the Union Pacific could fight
the Southern Pacific on equal terms
by the absorption of the Western
Pacific.
Others do not take the dissolu-
tion of the Union and Southern
Pacific roads seriously and think
they are still pra ideally one and
that the attempt to gobble. up the
Western Pacific is orIy scheme to
strangle all competition in the
west where the Southern Pacific
rules supreme.

FINE VULCAN|zING PLANT

The Elko Vulcanizing Works
which was started some time ago
by &C Carnahan has become one
of the most important concerns in
Elko. This plant repairs all kinds
of auto, bicycle or motorcycle tires.
The plant is well equipped and the
best of work is turned out at most
reasonable sprices. The idea of a
vulcanizing plant in Elko has met
with deserved success and Mr.
Carnahan has a rush of work. In
addition he sells all the standard
auto tires which does away with
any delay or worry on the part Of
auto owners in this part of the
country.
Mr. Carnshan has just accepted
the agency of the Cadallac auto,
the best mountain climber and
hard usage car ever sold in Ne
vada. The 1913 car is simply a
peach in every way. Mr. Carnahan
has a car on exhibition which has
elected the admiration of all who
have seen it. The 1914 Cadillac
promises to be the best car ever
built and can be adapted to all
sorts Of uasge.

Want Georgia to Await Ruling
by U. S. Commission in the
South Carolina Case.

The various railroads involved in the
mileage pulling" ruling of the state
railroad commission in November last
appeared by their attorneys before the
commission today and asked that the
order effecting the mileage pulling" to
become operative on February ! be
postponed until the interstate com
merce commission shall have passed
upon the South Carolina case. or 10
such further date as the state commits
sion might elect.
The commission will pass upon the
petition on January 8, and has called
upon the travellers associations and
commercial bodies interested to SHOW
cause, if they can, why the petition
should not be granted.
The impression is that the petition
will be granted and if it is not. it
seems likely that the railroads vii,
proceed by injunction against the com
mission to prevent the order becoming
operative on February l.
The South Carolina case will settle in
principle vital issue set up bv the
Georgia ruling and for that reason the
roads are anxious to avoid a definite
move under the order until after the
South Carolina case is heard.
The interstate commerce commission
expects to pass upon the South Carolina
case soon. This case involves the right
of state commissions to pass upor
forms of interchangeable mileage. good
