TARV|A EXPERIMENT
ON ELKO STREETS

A. B. Cowdrey, representing the Bar.
rett Manufacturing company, is in Ell.
ko today, and an experiment is be-
ing made with a coal tar product of
his company on Railroad street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth. The product
is in liquid form about the consistency
OF molasses, and it is being spread on
the street. A covering of sand Is
spread over it and when finished the
street will have the appearance of hav-
ing been macadamized.
Mr.. Cowdrey says that the streets
can be covered at an initial cost of
about seven and one-half cents a yard.
1t will be necessary to put on fresh
coat every year. Each coat after the
first will cost about four cents.
If it will do all that is claimed for
1t. it would prove a great thing for
Elko and the cost would not be a
great deal more than sprinkling now
costs.
The commissioners are interested in
the experiment and if it proves as rep
resented several of the main streets
may be covered this summer. The
chain gang is doing the work today,
and 1t would be good work for them to
perform throughout the summer
months.

BASEBALL CLUB
IS ORGANIZED

A formal meeting of Elko baseball
players and fans was held last even.
ing at the Commercial Hotel, for the
purpose of electing officers, arranging
ways and means, etc, for the coming
baseball season. 1t was plainly the
sense of the meeting that Elko was
to have a better baseball club this
year to represent her than she had
been satisfied with in the past few
years. The choosing of a real live
wire to act as its manager was
found unanimously in VIM. Doyle, who
in response assured those present that
nothing within his power would be
left undone to obtain team that e.
ko could be proud OF, both at home
and out of town. After considerable
discussion by Manager Merrithew Of
the Regular team and Manager Crane
OF the Federal team and others pres.
ent, 1t was decided that the two teams
should combine, organizing themselves
into one club, to he known as "The
Elko Baseball Club. A schedule Is
to be arranged in the near future
which will permit one team to remain
at home each Sunday and one away.
In other words. Elko is to have base
ball game at home each and every
Sunday during the coming season.
After discussing the various ways OF
raising finances, 1t was decided that a
committee, consisting OF Judge Castle,
Jack Creighton and Joe Snelson be
appointed to call on the various busi.
ness men to solicit tholr aid, and the
fat men to play Sunday have agreed
to turn over all the proceeds derived
from their game to the Elko Base
ball club to start the ball rolling. The
following officers were unanimously
elected:
VIM. Doyle, president and manager.
J. A. Carter. secretary.
Judge Taber. treasurer.

STRANGE THIS WAS
NOT PUBLISHED BEFORE

The story has Just come from Re-
no (it has been seSeral weeks in
transiO OF a near accident to an Elko
editor while Joy riding from Reno to
Sparks. 4
1t seems that 8. jitney buss was en-
ployed to take a little spin and that
somewhere on the road between the
two towns the auto upset spilling the
occupants in the ditch. The Elko edi-
tor was decidedly indignant at the
driver and in language more express
i've than elegant threatened to bring
suit for damages and to perform 9TH
er acts OF violence. ..
The driver was a loquacious sort
of a fellow himself, and he threatened
to bring counter suit against the
Elko editor for being too light to hold
down the rear end of the buss, to
which he attributed the cause of the
accident.
When the smoke had cleared away,
and the auto was righted the two
climbed in and threw 1t into the high
and enjoyed a very pleasant evening.
All Of the details of the affair were
not given for publication, and frater-
nal feeling prevents us from betraying
condolences.
To finish the story, however, we
might say that the driver in comment.
ing on the ride some time later said
that the Elko editor was the gamest
sport that he had ever taken for a Joy
ride.

by machinery, insuring sanitary con-
dltions of handling and marketing

Exchange, in carlots direct from the
growers to the wholesale fruit trade,
thus securing the best and widest
distribution at the lowest cost of
handling, passing as they do through
the hands of only one distributor.
Sunkist oranges are shipped the

Sunkist groves being over thirty
thousand (30,000) carlots of oranges

The Sunkist oranges being shipped
at the present time and which are
on sale by all dealers are the fruit of
the new crop Of Naval Oranges and
are seedless. These are mostly from

REASONS FOR THE sNEEzE
Superficial Irritation Is the Most Com
mon, but There Are Many Other
Causes,

There is more than one cause for
sneezing, and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to sneezs
the pollen of certain plants will affect
others, and most people are likely to
sneeze in the presence of dust. Such
sneezing is due to superficial irritation
The sneeze caused by the effect Of
cold is different. 1t is an attempt Of
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heal
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-to help
to relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an act
Of the nose alone, this being merely
the part of the entire body, during
which every muscle gives jump. The
body is affected by a spasmodic effort
to warm the entire system and throw
of cold.

Poe hung up the receiver and left
the booth, stopping to buy half-dozen
orangewood sticks at the counter.
While the druggist was waiting on
him, Poe asked if there was a mani
cure shop in the neighborhood.

ner," the druggist nodded through his
window. "The news stand is right in

II see. Thanks The name sounds

tioningly.
Il imagine she is. But don't know.
She doesn't come in here"
His line of inquiry being promptly
cut of, Christopher Poe slipped his
purchase into a side pocket and
strolled out.
He sauntered across the street,
opening the package in his pocket as
he went, and purposely jabbing him
self in the cuticle Of the forefnger
with one Of the sharp sticks just be-
fore entering the manicure parlor.

woman, coQuette with a sprightly,

what can I do for monsieur" she
said prettily, tripping forward, and gaz-
ing up into his face with ingenious
concern.
I'm needing manicure badly,

none too soft and we'll cared for.
ooh, monsieur!" she gasped fetch
ingly, you do not treat re little nails

them inStinctively toward her lips as
though she would kiss the bruise; then
letting them drop and starting back
consciously, blushing in practiced
alarm.
"Ah, monsieur, too busy. suppose"
she said, making her mouth into a
pretty little questioning zero and lean
ing toward him. Come, sit down. Re
nails shall soon be better; zey shall re
cover" She led him gently by the
arm, and helped him sit down as
though she were placing an egg-shell
china teacup on narrow plate rack
in the dining room. Now, monsieur"
she said, taking his hand and giving it
such gentle, concerned pressure that
Poe simulated having succumbed to
her charm, and breathed softly.
"You have nice, comfortable little
place here"
ooh, sir. you are so kind" she said,
forgetting her French for the moment
in remembering to blush delicately,
like pink poppy petal. :
"Can you put these nails back in
shape?" he asked. You've quite
alarmed me. I mustn't let them go so
long again.
'You shall see, monsieur. Ycu must
come often to have manicure" She
drew pan full of water from small
coil heater in the corner, shaved
some scented soap into it, tested it's
warmth with her little finger daintily,
and then placed his left hand gently
into it.
I'VE will leave Eat hand cooking,
monsieur, while prepare zis one" She
lisped just the least bit, looking up at
him with a sprightly smile, and ex-
tending his fingers on her aproned
knee.
There are little stains in the tiny
cracks around your nail. | must use
my little orange stick and ongoline to
get them out, monsieur, and then we
will soak 1t, and pretty soon it shall
act better. You will get hang nail
there if it is not fixed" She indicated
the bruise Poe had inflicted on him.

with a bad one, but yours is not so
serious. It was most difficult to get
re stain out for him, he cried with pain
sometimes when the stick slipped, but
monsieur will be more brave" she said
glibly, busily pushing back the hard
cuticle about the bruised finger-tip by
means of her little yellow orange stick
dipped in stain-remover.
"Ouch!" cried Poe, Stimulating dis
tress as Miss Moquin slipped the stick
carefully under the cuticle. II won't
be as brave as the fellow this morning
If you keep that up"
"Then put both hands over to cook,
monsieur" she said, placing the pan
more conveniently. II cannot see you
suffer"
IF had a hang-nail, too, I'm afraid
I'd be like that fellow you had this
morning. I'd holler!"
ooh. monsieur, like hint" she
cried, her eyes dropping toward him
languishingly. "He is fat and SO fun
ny. Monsieur is-different. The gen.
tleman this morning was SO nervous
He jumped when / touched him, he
was so excited he could hardly
breathe, and his attendant had to help
him out of re shop into his wheel
chair like baby" She put both hands
on her knees and laughed. "Oh, he was
so funny, gasping for breath like 9
fish when he left and jumping like q
scared rabbit. Men are funny when
they have a little hurt, and did not
stick him at all hard. And the ongo-
line does not burn. Men cannot bear
paint" dropping her eyes at him again.
Eyes, you're right" said Poe, inter
rupting her breezy chatter. "That re-
minds me; / want to buy bottle OF
ongoline" He nodded toward the
show case on the other side Of the
screen.
Miss Moquin skipped to the front t.
get the bottle, and Poe took advantage
of the half-minute he had managed to
be alone by substituting two of the or
ange wood sticks he had bought for
those Miss Moquin had left on the ta-
BILE before him. He also smelled hasc
lily of her open bottle of ongoline.
When the manicure returned, her
customer had both hands soaking, and
