) TONS OF FLOUR
BY PARCEL POST

One Of the argestshipments by par
eel post ever received at the Elko
post Office was received on No. 10
yesterday. The shipment consisted
of tons of flour and was shipped
from an Ogden Mill to Mr.. Sewell,
the Owyhee merchant. The train was
held up for about 30 minutes while
the shipment was being unloaded.
The scope and possibilities of the
parcel post seem to be unlimited and
what they will be sending by mail
next is only matter of conjecture.
Miners are shipping the products of
their mines to the mills by parcel post
regularly from some mines and only
recently saw mill and equipment
was shipped into this county by par
eel post. 1t seems to be a bigger
thing for the people than anyone
thought 1t would be when it was first
inaugurated.

if the dogs are as vicious as reported
they should be done away with as

PITIFUL CASE FOUND
ON MOB HILL

According to near neighbors, a Mrs.
Rhodes, who lives on the Hill, is in
destitute circumstances and badly In
need of aid. She is alone with a
three months old baby and her hus-
band is out of town In search Of en-
ployment leaving the woman almost
starving condition. The ladies of the
Episcopal Church Guild have
taken up the case according
to reliable authority and she
til her husband can secure some en-
ployment. Such cases are pitiful and
the good people of Elko should not
be slow in coming to the aid of any
one in trouble of this kind Some
means should be found of finding
employment for the man or his wife
which will earn enough to, at least
sustain life.

wade their homes.
To the Knights of Pytbias and
