DRESSED UP AS IF MIGHT
BE GOING TO CHURCH

Joe Henen who usually comes TO
town in his Studebalier car and a pair
OF overalls was in from Lamoille Sun
day all logged out as if he might be
going to church. Perhaps this is a
mistake and that he had the baseball
grounds in mind instead. Mr.. Henen
says that 1t is a bit cooler out in La
mobile than it is in town.

1T is safe to say that there is not
a town in the state or in the entire
west that is enjoying such a pros
porous. faithful growth as Elko. In
every section Of town the music OF
hammer and saw is heard. and many
beautiful and substantial homes are
in process Of construction.

THE Southern Pacific Company con-
tinues to ignore the fact that a very
dangerous crossing is maintained in
Elko just west Of the freight depot.
Several accidents have been very mar.
rowly averted here, yet the company
refuses to provide adequate protection
in the form of drop gates. We rise
to ask again, is there no law by which
the company cen be compelled to
move its freight depot off the street ?
If there is let 1t be invoked. This
would go a long ways in eliminating
the danger. as the view of trains ap-
preaching from the east would not be
cut off as 1t is at present.

THAT was a remarkable statement
by Senator Hessom that dry farming
had brought more taxable wealth into
Nevada than all its mines. And who
will say that Mr.. Hesson is not right ?

CULTIVATE JUDGMENT.

It's Possession Is What Makes a Man
 Successful In Business.
 It was one of the intellectual shocks of my young manhood to discover that an analytical chemist could often get only $50 a month. l had long looked with awe upon tie accurate percent ages and detailed reports of the ana lyticaI chemist. This water contains 23I1 grains of such and such sub stance per gallon. 1 wondered at the marvellous man who could get out such ipe results, and to learn that he at times gets but SJO month was shock.
 The explanation Is this. The chem. Ical analysis of ordinary specimens is a technical process of perfectly definite ChaFaCUvI. II rr.ss. o.. E,uuEtr anu therefore capable of being reduced to clear cut instructions the pay that 1t commands is not likely to be high, even though the work itself is complicated, It requires good memory and p0mstak- ing obedience to instructions. Many persons have these qualities. The scarce attribute is judgment, that in. defnable quality capable of meeting a new situation and handling it with common sense or gunIption, to put it in a homely term.
 Judgment is indefinite. We cannot lay out instructions in advance to tell the manager how to meet situations. To buy good raw material he must learn to know the raw materials and many of the tests he applies are too fine for words to reduce Go instructions. He must decide for indefinite reasons that now Is a good time to enlarge or retrench; that herc is 30 good place to open up business; tbat now is a good time to buy or to run low on stock; that this man needs to be hired; that this man needs to be fired.
 It is in the making of decisions that successful management lies. And most of these decisions are beyond rule. They are indefinite. They are judg ment.-Engincering Magazine

IRE LITTLE FINIT BONS

Europe may cut prices, throw in trading stamps, distribute ire, cigars and otherwise plant tborns ia our commercial path.
 Fortunately the manufacturers have taken their apgreleusiOns to Secretary Redueld, and he is going to f.x it for them. He will have a law passed to protect them. The law will provide for the creation of a Universal Little Lord Fauuue- roy Trade Commission to see that nobody anywhere compctea with America except in a geademaoly ant cousideratg manner. It shall be empowered to examine anywhere in the world, 8 manufacturers in voices, books and conscience.

DAYS ARE
 REPRODUCED IN SEATTLE

The Arctic club of Seattle recent ly held it's annual sourdOugh din ner. when caribou meat and other Alaskan products formed a greater portion of the menu. Three hun dred guests were present, and good fellowship reigned supreme.
 Following the dinner the annual celebration was held, when the gambling and dancehau days of the north were reproduced. Many of the old-time gamblers were manipu- Iating the games with the same old players on the outside of the tables,
 Hundreds of persons. who had never seen the northern camps dur tug the early days when gambling games were run wide opgn, attend ed the affair to see if the reproduc- tion compared with the stories they had heard of the north.
 A wireless instrument had be9n installed on the roof ot the Arc tic club building, and during the evening messages were received from Governor Strong and other AIaskans, who regretted they were unable to be present.

EMERGENCY LAWS

Most of the big reforms that have come about from one age to an other were first put in force as emergency laws. The abolition of slavery in this country, for instance was a war measure. So was the in come tax, originally, and so was the internal revenue tax on whiskey and tobacco. The German Reichsta plans to adopt rules for the regu- lation of food supply. After the war IS over will all those rules go by the board? The Rassian govern meut wiped out the trade in vodka. Will the prohibition era end when the war does? The chances are that some of these emergency re- gulatious will stick, even after peace comes. People will see the good results that come from cer- tain forms of government parental ism, and will not be willing to go back to the old hit-or-miss policies Of iudiyiduaIism. It may depend more or less on how long the war lasts; how long it will take before the people will get used to gov ernmeut interference. From the

Divorce Before
Marriage

MI. Jones first thought was that
he should be happy ever after If
Miss Brown would marry him. They
became engaged. His second thought
was that II he married Miss Brown
he should be extremely unhappy.
He broke the engagement. Miss
Brown brought action for breach
of promise. She asked for 500, 900.
Mr.. Jones. knowing that she had
good many of his letters. remem-
bering that another lady had lately
recovered sl06,000 from another
gentleman. and valuing freedom
from marriage to Miss Brown at a
good deal less than this sum. had
a third thought. He again made
Miss Brown an offer of marriage.
She being informed by her lawyers
that this offer reduced to almost
nothing her chance of winning her
suit, withdrew the same. A few
months of marriage convinced Mr..
Jones that his second thought was
his best He went to Nevada. es-
tablished a residence. and got
divorce. 1t is sometimes cheaper
for q man to change his mind after
marriage than before. If our laws
