Golden AGE Of Our Poetry.

There is no more hopeful sign of the
Advancement of a new age of artistic
appreciation in this country than the
recent genuine renaissance OF native
and vigorous poetry, blazing new trails
for itself in realism. fantasy, form and
method. says the Century.
The best of this work is based upon
the craftsman's knowledge OF his craft
and his clear-sighted study OF the
poetic 'old masters" though the mod
EN- poet shows his individuality in two
distinct ways. He is either a merci-
less and challenging realist or weaves
new and gorgeous patterns upon the
loom of fancy. rejecting old poetic
phrase, the age-long pigeon holed mt
expression" for a given theme. shap-
ing out of the flexible, slang accreted
language of the day new poetic die
ton full OF pith and "brimmed with
nimbler meanings up" Thus, mixed
metaphorically, some idea may be
given of his enthusiastic and hearty
modern method.

still on trial in the District Court be-
fore Judge Ducker. Plaintiffs have
placed number of witnesses on the

their land for the year 1914, as fixed
by the tax commission, are excessive
Figures submitted by witnesses are
somewhat lower than the estimates of
their appraiser, w. c. Noteware, whose
valuations, in turn, are considerably
lower than those submitted by J. W.

RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR
(OUNTY'S kUz1ltD DOGS

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners last week, petition was
received from Lovelock, asking that
the ordinance requiring the muzzling
all dogs of the county be repealed.
Messrs. Sans and Piper. of the gov
ernment biological survey, which has
charge of the rabid coyote situation,
were sent for. and asked for their
opinion of the subject. They stated
to the board that at the present time
1t would be inadvisable to repeal the
ordinance for two principal reasons.
In the first place. the period of incu
baton of rabies is so long, varying
from three weeks to six months, that
1t would be unsafe to remove the
muzzles until after rabies has been
thoroughly stamped out. Then, again,
it is a protection to the dog, which is
unable to pick up the poison that has
been scattered over the country in
large quantities to kill the coyotes.
Mr.. Sans is of the opinio, however,
that unless rabies shall again break
out that il will be safe to unmuZZle
the dogs toward the end of the pres
ent year.
In view of these facts, the board
took no action in the matter.

FOREST RECEIPTS BEAT
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS

Over $460,000 was received from ma
tional forest resources and uses in
the Intermountain district, for the fis-
cal year ended June 30. This exceeds
by $4,000 the receipts of the previous
year, which had also broken previous
records. and is 1874 per cent greater
than the average for the first seven
years following the establishment OF
the district as a distinct administrat-
i've unit.
More than three-fourths of the
amount, nearly $360000. was received
from grazing. sheep permits yielding
approximately $4,000 and cattle per-
mits $4,000. The receipts from tim
ber sales, $4,000, while slight de-
crease from last year. were greater
by 141h per cent than the average.
The largest relative gain was in re-
ceipts from special uses of various
kinds.
The "25 per cent" of this fund dis
tributed by law for the benefit OF To-
cal schools and roads will give the
counties within which these national
forests are situated total of $115.000.
while an additional $4,000 will be
made available for the construction
Of roads by the Forest service, under
the 10 per cent fund item provided

uation will be beyond the balance of
this year. l expect that the copper
market will be strong for some time
to come. Most of the metal has been
sold in large lots to the end of the
year and there has been a small de-
mand that is absorbing all the small
stocks. l believe that the price of sill
yer will rule higher than it has for
years and other metals will be in pro-
portion. The war situation is variable
and for that reason there are fiuctua-
tions that are seen from time to time. "

AMERICAN SOLDIER
IN THE SPOTLIGHT

WASHINGTON, July IL. The
American soldier is again in the spot
light. Thousands are thronging the
recruiting stations all over the coun-
try. Other thousands are writing to
the War Department, making inquiry
as to how they can get in" With the
passage of legislation increasing the
army to 250,000, the Office of the Ad-
jutant- General at Washington has ta-
ken on renewed activity.
"The army of the United States is
the best fed, best paid and best kept
army in the world" said Captain
Thomas F. Ryan, of the office of the
Adjutant-General of the army in dis
cussing the army as career. THE
soldiers opportunity for advancement.
self-improvement mentally and phsy-
ically, pleasure, or the accumulation
of savings, is of the best.
"The pay of a soldier ranges from
SIS to $99 a month, according to the
grade and length of service. AS the
soldier receives every necessity free,
his pay is practically clear. He should
have no difficulty, If he so desires, in
saving while he is in the army. The
government grants to every soldier
the privilege of depositing with the
Treasurer of the United States any
amount not less than five dollars, and
allows him four per cent interest
Upon the completion Of thirty
years service, the soldier may retire
on three-Quarters of the pay he is
receiving at the time of his retire.
ment. For example, Ii a soldier re-
tires as a first sergeant. the govern
ment will pay him for the rest of his
life $3.50 month and require no
| service in return.
"The advantages of travel which
army service affords is an important
consideration. The army not only Of
| fers but encourages all kinds of clean
and healthful sport. Each company
has its own amusement room where
the soldier may play billiards, pool.
chess, checkers. The separate organi-
cations and posts have their baseball
and football teams.
Education is a prominent feature
of army life. Men who have not had
the advantage of extensive schooling
will find in the army facilities for ac-
quiring a good education. At all posts
there are schools for the instruction
of enlisted men in grammar, arith-
metic, geography, history, algebra,
and other studies comprised in a COM
| mon school course"
There are also schools where en-
listed men can learn the trade of the
saddler. horseshoer, baker, cook In
struction given in the schools fit the
men to become good practical firemen,
electricians, engineers, draughtsmen,
|surveyors and wireless operators.
The army has recruiting stations
in nearly every principal city in the
United States and in many of the
smaller towns Should one not be cer-
tain of the location of the nearest sta
ton, it may be ascertained by writing
