High School Notes

Clel Martin was absent last
Monday.
Celia Hazel was absent laat
Tuesday on account of sickness.
Clarence Parker did not re-
turn to school last Monday as he
expected to do.
Lester Richardson met with
an accident while riding bicycle
Monday evening consequently be
was unable to attend baud prac-
tice that evening.
Next Friday evening the High
School will give box supper in
order to raise some money for
the relief of the Belgians and to
pay the Indebtedness left after
the athletic season is concluded.
Everyone is invited to come and
enjoy themselves and help 9TH
ers to enjoy themselves.
An Athletic League was or
ganized at Dodge which will hold
a track meet at Cimarron next
April. The baud boys arehop-
ing they will be able to render
music that will enable them to go
there and enjoy the meet as we'll
as to show the high schools IN
the league that a high school
band is possibility.
Prof. Hamilton gave a report
on the Teachers meeting held
at Dodge last Friday and Satur-
F day. Meade seems to be in the
lead in many important partic-
: ulars for several schools are go
ing to adopt some of the good
things that have been developed
lin this school. Some Of the
things that we might mention is
our plan of keeping records Of
a6sentces and dsom- six-and-six
plan.
Last Tuesday morning at chap
el time the school enjoyed their
new Victrola for the first times
This Victrola was purchased by
the chorus and will be paid for
out OF the proceeds of the opcr-
etta Sylvia which will be given
lat the Opera House Decem ber IS.
Hrhe records which were sent
with the Victrola are of the best
and some of the standard operas
are represented in the selections.
1t is the intention of the chorus
to get nothing but the very best
and thus cultivate a taste for the
more beautifulin music.
The Manuel training room has
been flooded recently with adver-
tlslng matter from manufactur-
ers who are anxious to build up
future trade by having their
goods brought before the boys.
That is building for the future.
Among OTTER things we might
mention that samples of figured
gum, birch, imitation leather,
lnlaid woods, pants, varnishes,
Fart glass, and several kinds of
mathematical instruments used
in mechanical drawing, have
been sent US gratis. Meade
High School is on the map as
having an important manual
training department.
Last Thursday the Meade
Foot Ball team defeated the
Dodge team on their grounds the
score being 1S to Tin favor of
Meade. Our boys played their
best game of the season.e One
pleasing feature Of the game was
the fact that Noel Dewey made
his touchdown. For the bene-
fit Of those who do not already
know we will say that Noel has
played center ever since he has
been on the team and therefore
had no chance to make touch
downs. He asked the captain

30.-Use forty-eight or forty-nine
pound sacks for Belgian flour.
The larger sacks, 'sgach as one
hundred and forty jute, used by
some of the generous contribu-
tors, are too heavy for proper
handling. All flour for Belgium
is transferred from the cars to
ships, from the ships to canal
boats and from these to wheel
barrows and cartsA1 A man can
make good time carrying forty
eight pounds but he won't make
much speed with one-hundred
and forty pounds. Use the small
sized sacks.
Kansas fiouris moving forward
rapidly now for the relief OF, the
hungry and homeless. More
over it will go direct to the right
spot. ;Dhere will be no inter
ference by Germany or any other
power, The cablegram printed
Sunday saying Germans were
taxing Belgian supplies did not
refer to flour from the United
States. The German govern
ment is doing everything pos
sible to cultivate the friendship
of America. 1t has delegations
in this country now for this spec
ial purpose. It's am bassador has
definitely agreed that American
relief supplies shall not be con-
fiscated; and certainly. Germany
will not permit it's soldiers to

About thirty cars of -four are

information the State committee
in Topeka has received. 4 car

in sacks. A car of flour costs
about 5000 to $1,000; so Kansas,
out of the so millions its wheat
gained in value because of the
European war; has given less
than $4,000 and the Kansas
wheat crop of 1914 is valued at
$I52,0OO,O00, 900. Such pros
perity effects every man directly
or indirectly. If the crops fail
everyone suffers in one way or
another.
Kansas can afford to be gen.
erous-and it will be. No one
doubts it. The responses from
the state at large, particularly
the small towns, is good indi-
yation of just how generous Kan
sas will be when once it has been
completely stirred up. OF
course the state will not cease
its gIving after $4,000 barrels of
flour have been shipped. To do
this would be the poorest sort of
sdyerlisiug and the states farm

Some parts of the. state were
alarmed needlessly this morning
and Sunday by reports that Ger

entered Belgium. Neither Coy
ernor Hodges nor Chairman
Stubbs gave such reports any |
serious consideration. Their |
assurance that no import duty |
would be imposed was positive.

Elko Man Is in
Big Land Deal
GUY sAvAL. CAPITALIST AND
LIVESTOCK KING, PAYS $780,
900 FOR HOLDINGS OF r. NJ.

A tinge of romance is interviewer
through the negotiations that were
concluded last Thursday by Guy
Sayal of Elko for the purchase of
seven ranches in Snake valley belong
ing to p NJ. Baker and involving the
transfer of s150.000.
The closing of the biggest agricul-

yiyidly into the center of the calcium
the meteoric career of the dominant
figure in the whole transaction, who
within a remarkably short period of
time has risen from a common la
borer to a live stock king, whose
wealth is estimated at several mil
lions.
The tracts of land that changed
hands as soon as the necessary pa
pers were signed include the Dock,
Harry and Howard Baker ranches,
the Glover Spring ranch. the George
Baker homestead. the old Dan Simon
sen place, and the Rowland ranch.
The initial payment of $5O.000 was
made by Mr.. Saval during the week.
The new purchaser was accompani-
ed ON his trip to Ely by w. G.

torney from Elko. The title to
thousands of acres of land in the
richest portion of Snake valley was
thoroughly investigated by Mr..

manded a man of his type His first
years in Elko county were spent in
caring for sheep, task that he had

Mr.. Saval COPIED with the problems
that confronted him. and soon realiz-
ed the unlimited opportunities that
live stock and agriculture afforded.
1t was not long before he had herds
of his own. and grazing land. He
took advantage of every opportunity
and within short lapse of time his
resources literally became a pot of
gold, being varied in detail and
broadened in scope.
One of the ranches in Snake valley
that has fallen into Mr. Savafs hands
is one of the oldest in the country
The property is a replica of early
days in Nevada. The ruins of stone
cabins, houses and fences are still in
evidence. The ranch was the proper

Old Cowboys
To Live Again
H. o. WEBER. PATHFINDER, WILL
BE IN ELY THIS WEEK TO Ar
RANGE ITINERARY FOR HORSE
RACE FROM COAST TO COAST.

That the old time cowboy lives
only in the reminescences of pioneers
or between the two covers of one of
the latest books of fiction, is being
disallusioned by H. o. Weber, path
finder for the ieoast-to-coast horse
race. which includes Ely in its itin-
erary.
The riders leave Bangor. Maine. on
January |, 1915. and the route laid
out by the promoter Is from Bangor
to Chicago. to Omaha, to Cheyenne,
to Salt Lake. to Tooele. to Ely. to the
Pacific coast.
The prize to be awarded to the
winner Is $4,000, and the rules OF
the long distance race permits each
rider to use only one horse for the
journey, and the laurels will fall to
the man who best protects his
mount
Each man must camp wherever
night overtakes him, and it will be
necessary for the individual riders to
provide provender for himself and
horse. and the excess baggage of the
men will be largely minimized.
The route laid out by Mr. Weber
covers 1000 miles, and the race will
settle the much mooted argument
about the riders of the present gen.
