Professor Scrugham also made the
announcement that w. d. Ryan, con-
sidered the leading Illuminating en-
gineer of his profession, had been pre-

sign system of illumination that

ing at the exposition one of the most
conspicuous of state buildings at
night. The scheme of illumination
embraces plan whereby an illusion
will be caused making It seem that
the building is much longer than its
real dimension. This will be achieved
by massing and grouping of lights
and their reflection in such manner
as to food the exterior of the building
with a mass of light OF much larger
luminous area than the rejecting sur

POPULAR MEMBER OF
UNPOPULAR COMMISSION

F. N. Fletcher. member of the state
tax commission is in Elko and is go
ing over records in the county assess
or's office.
1t is reported that no is here at this
time for the purpose of looking over
Elko town property with a view Of
raising valuations.
1t is to be hoped that any action
along that line will prove more just
and equitable than the recent action
of the commission when horizontal
raise was ordered on all ranch lands.
Their action at that time precipitated
cry of righteous indignation that
was echoed all over the state.
One thing, however. Is certain. The
commission can do nothing to make
itself more unpopular II is already
justly unpopular in this section to the
superlative degree.

BOARD SAYS It

WILL couNTENANcE NO FURTH-
Err VIOLATION OF LAW AS LONG
AS PRESENT BOARD is IN OF.
FIcE.

The new board of county commits
sicners in session yesterday granted
liquor licenses to all applicants. It
was not done however without warn
ing as to the outcome of any act by
the holders of licenses which is in
violation of the law. The board made
1t known to all applicants very plain
ly, that while they wished to give all
fair chance, that they would not for
a minute countenance any unlawful
actions IL their place of business.
They further stated that IL 1t was
proved to their own satisfaction that
any holder of licenses had violated
the law, that the licenses would be re-
Voked forthwith and would stay re-
voked as long as the present board
is in power.
The action is the outcome of a
movement some weeks ago towards
stopping the alleged gambling which
many people claim is going Or in
saloons and other places in the city.
The licenses of all were held up for
while and the sheriff was authorized
TO investigate and make report. This
was done and II was decided to take
the action stated above and in the fu-
ture, say the commissioners, IL anyone
wishes to hold a liquor license in Ell,
ko county. straight line must be
hewed to. r.-

"HTz" IS THERE
WITH THE GOODS

J. D. Fitzgerald, the popular clerk
at the Hotel Mayer, is about as quick
with an answer as the next one. Bob
Catlin, an old time Tuscaroran, was in
Elko recently and he was telling Of
an experience with "Fitz" that was
good one. A rather dlsreputable
woman applied to Catlin for washing,
stating that she was sorely in need
Of money. He was a mine superin.
tendent at the time and was very busy,
so he sent her to "Fltz", who was
manager of the Il. 4. M. store, with
a note which read: This woman
needs washing" "Fitz" sent her
back to Catlin with the following note
written on the other side OF the
paper: Il dare say she does, but I
don't fancy the Job. You had better
do It."
Between them, however, they ar-
ranged for her washing that afternoon.

seems very far removed, indeed, when
an almanac was merely booklet Of
calendar. pages, with wise remarks
about the sun, the moon, a few plan
cts, the tides, and the best time for
planting various kinds Of seeds.
Here set. for. Besides election and
census returns, sporting records, In
dustria1 and financial reports, a New

less formal informatory departments
to which the years have accustomed

on the wars OF the world; the politi-
cal state platforms Of 1914 details OF

CARPENTERS STRIKE SETTLED. ss16,OOO Joincrs at Chicago VIII Return tn Work.

Chicago. July 10. The strike of IS, : lo00 union carpenters which, for near Iy two months has paralyzed the build 7 ing industry in Chicago, is over. Set tIen1ent on all points at issue was reached early today after committees representing the carpenters. Building Construction EmpIoyers' association and building material interests had been locked in conference since 2 o'clock yesterday afterroon The car penters were ordered to return to work at once.
 The agreement reached provides that the men shall receive 70 cents an hour and that they accept what is called uniform agreement which will prevent strikes and lockouts. The agreement is for three years, dating from May a1. It provides for a closed shop and also stipulates that there shall be no. restriction regarding the source of building materiaI-whether 1t is manufactured here or elsewhere. The settlement was regarded by both sides as a Compromise. The carpenters had demanded a sliding wage scale of TO cents for the first year, 72 -2 cents for the second year and 75 cents for the third. The men previous to the strike had been paid 65 cents an hour
