GOOD ATTENDAN(fATPROS
Pf(TORS' SHORT COURSE

Most encouraging was the showing
made at the office of the registrar by
entrants in the "Prospectors Short
Course" which will be given at the
University for the next four weeks.
Professor F. C. Lincoln is pleased with
the number of names that have been
signed for the course, and while the
number does not come up to original
expectations, it is believed that the ex-
tremely severe weather has had some
thing to do with the holding up Of
several from Utah and Oregon, who
wrote that they would be here. Almost
every ordinary avocation is represented
by the classmen, from the artist to the
more humble walks of life. Regular
lecture and class work was taken up
yesterday. The following is list of
the names that appear on the register
together with their places of residence
and occupations:

Cheese as an Aid to Health.

The long cherished idea that cheese
should form only a small part of the
daily diet recently has been chal-
lenged. Not long ago the United
States department of agriculture is
sued bulletin recommending the use
of cheese as a cheap and wholesome
substitute for meat.
An interesting and important asser-
tion by a Swiss investigator is to the
effect that persons who make cheese
a considerable part of their regular
diet are very resistant to many in
testinal diseases. such as dysentery
and the dreaded typhus fever which
has desolated Serbia. According to
Doctor Burri. the daily meat ration
in the Swiss army has already been
partly replaced by cheese, with excel
lent results.

ETHEL KAUFMAN
IN T0NIGHT'S film

A star at eighteen-surely that is q
unique distinction for young woman
of that interesting age to attainl The
charming and winsome little actress in
question is Ethel Kaufman, whose
strikingly good work in the part Of
Esther in the William Fox production
"Children of the Ghetto" was one of
the hits of that photo-drama, and cre-
ated deep impression. 1t was, in fact,
this little dark-eyed artistic 8 splendid
portrayal of this character that
brought her from the ranks of the un-
known into the satisfying spotlight.
When seeking an actress who could
portray the extremely difficult char
acter of Pauline in "Wormwood, -
Marie Corelli's masterpiece, which has
been picturized for the Fox Film cor
poration, William Fox, president, Mar
shall Farnum, director of the produe-
tion decided that in Miss Kaufman he
had discovered an absolutely ideal type
for the role. Pauline is described by
Marie CorelH as "a child as innocent
and fresh as flower just burst into
bloom, with no knowledge of the world
into which she was entering and with
certainly no idea of the power of her
own beauty to rouse the passions of
men. She was possessed of a quick
brightness and esprit which is the beri-
tage of the French girl, even when she
is but newly from the convent walls. I"
The delicate, fower-like character of
Miss Kaufman s beauty and her dain-
ty, girlish charm combine to render her
probably the only actress so perfectly
endowed by nature to depict the unfor-
tunate little heroine of the Corelli
book, whose life ends in the night
shrouded Seine. Miss Kaufman comes
of a theatrical family and was born in
Germany. She played many important
child parts in the Kaiser IS realm and
achieved quite a little fame as a juve-
nile actress. When her family came to
this country, Miss Kaufman deserted
the stage and devoted herself to edu-
eating her voice and to acquiring per.
fection in her profession. She has play
ed in several companies headed by we'll
known stars, but it was in the motion
picture field, which she only recently
entered, that this newest and daintiest
of screen stars was destined to attain
the summit of her ambition.
cit is not every director that I
could work UNDER said Miss Kauff-
man, Gas | am a terrible ery-baby if
anyone gets cross with me. With Mr..
Powell in the FChildren of the Ghet-
to, and with Mr. Farnum in ''Worm-
wood,' however, / feel that, thanks
to their unfailing kindness and splen-
did ability as producers, 1 have been
able to bring out the best that is in
me- l simply love the part of Pauline
although it is so sad that in some of
the scenes | could not keep from cry
ing. Nothing could be more pathetic
than the last meeting between CASTOR
and Pauline, when he, as a wild-eyed
absintheur, meets his former sweet
heart near the Seine, singing in a pitt
full voice for the few sous thrown her
by passers-by, love song of the days
when both were rich and happy"

NEVADA NEWSPAPER
MEN SHOULD RALLY

Secretary Daniels recently remarked
in a public address: 'This country
would perish without a free press. -
There is on the statute books of Ne
vada a recently enacted law which
places upon the newspapers of the state
a censorship similar to that established
by belligerent nations, though for a
less worthy purpose. In the case of the
latter the censorship is for the purpose
Of keeping the enemy from becoming
acquainted with military secrets, while
in Nevada the gag bill seems to have
been introduced for the purpose of
shielding officials from criticism, no
matter what might be their public acts.
This drastic law, under which w. w.
Booth, the editor and manager of the
Bonanza,was convicted and sent to jail,
should be removed from the statute
books, and this can be accomplished if
there is a united effort put forth by the
press of the state. There will be a
meeting of the Nevada Press associa-
tion held at Reno on February IA, and
it is the duty Of every newspaper in
the state to be represented at the meet
ing. so that unanimous action may be
taken to move for the repeal of the act
which not oAly subjected Mr.. Booth,
the first president and still active
member of the organization, to humili-
alton and expense, but which threatens
the liberty Of all the publications and
all the publishers in the state.-Tono-

NOTES OF THf HUMBOLDT
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

Miss Ruth Walters began school with
US again this week. Seats are now
more than full.
Laurence and Kenneth Brown, who
come up from Inlay every day on the
train, find it difficult to be regular in
attendance during this severe weather
which so often delays the train service.
Orchestra practice is regular occur
renee twice each week now. Getting
ready for the play which is to occur
February Is at the Nixon.
Those splendid talks by Rev. Palmer
and Rev. Willis will long be remem-
bered because of their close touch upon
everyday school life.
At an athletic meeting yesterday the
basketball boys decided to stay in the
race for the state championship in
spite of discouragements resulting from
EEK of a floor ON which to practice.
Hurrah for the boysl The girls will
hold a similar meeting tonight to con-
slider the matter of their staying in the
race also.
PLAY rehearsals are now being held
four times each week, and from pres
mt indications this will be the strong
est play ever put on by the High
school Music, dancing, comedy and
drama are all introduced and are very
evenly balanced and effective. This
calls a greater variety of talent into
service, furnishes opportunity for all
to " shine' and adds materially to the
interest. Don t forget the time and

MINNESOTA AND IOWA
MEN BUY fLK0 TRACTS

Thirty-fve sections of railroad land
in Independence and Glover valleys in
the western part of Elko county were
purchased during the past week by
Minnesota and Iowa capitalists who
are making preparations to eolonize the
territory, says the Gazette.
The land belonged to the Southern
Pacific and has never been under eul-
tivation before. 1t consists mostly of
level valley land and, according TO c.
c. Morris, travelling sales agent for the
Southern Pacific, who placed the land
with the colonization company, it is
well adapted for almost any kind of
farming.
The colonization company has sue
ceeded in placing the greater part of
the 35 sections with Minnesota and
Iowa farmers, and it probaly will be
all under cultivation within go days.
According to Mr.. Morris, the colonists
are expected to arrive within the next
few weeks and the company has men
on the Land now making preparations
TO receive them. The land is being sold
in all sized tracts.
"Nevada lands are becoming more
valuable every day. said Mr.. Morris,
"and we are receiving many inquiries
from all parts of the country regard
ing farm lands in this state.
"The Southern Pacific company is
doing considerable advertising in the
east and homesteaders are anxious to
come to this state.
"There are several good tracts of
land near Reno which probably will be
disposed of in the near future, and |
believe of the available land in this
state nearly all will be taken up within
another two years.
"The colonization company which
has taken the lands in Independence
and Glover valleys is preparing to put
in several demonstration farms on the
project and probably will secure loo
more sections, if the and is availa,

Need Of ReforestatIon in Japan.

The forest area of Japan is decreas-
ing at the rate of one million acres
a year. This area is being cut away
partly for timber and lumber and for
firewood and partly to make the land
available for the cultivation OF rice.
The forests of Japan at the end OF
1914 covered about As million acres.
Extensive efforts are being made to
increase the acreage OF forest lands
by planting surfaces now cleared on
with young trees of quick growth. II
has been urged that it ic necessary
to replant all surfaces as soon as they
are cleared for commercial purposes
in order to lessen the great loss an

LOCAL CHARACTER
KILLS MAN AT ELY

Travellers who arrived in town this
morning from Ely state that Roger
{" Slatsv) Rutherford killed a man IN
that town Tuesday night. 1t is stated
that the two mon engaged in a wordy
quarrel in Tom Chambers saloon, at
that place, when Rutherford was In
vited TO S outside and fight it out.
The invitation was accepted, and as
the stranger opened the door with one
hand he is said to have attempted to
draw gun frQm his hip pocket with
the other But 'fSlats had his eye on
hlm, and befo~e he could draw shot
Mt him, the bullet entering the man s
stomach, just below the navel, striking
and breaking the backbone.
1t is said that both men are out of
the penitentiary on parole, and il IS
thought to have been an old grudge
that was settled. The man killed bore
a bad reputation, with five killings to
his credit. When his gun was picked
up il was found to contain five notches
on the handle ''Slats' was lodged in
jail but the general feeling in Ely is
said to be that it was a case of self
defense.
