NEW SHELTER FOR BULLION


Elko Independent: T. M. Moe has
been in Elko for a number of days,
experimenting the shipment of a
smelter to Bull IN, the big copper
camp % miles south of this place.
All of the machinery and other neces-
sary materials have arrived, and part
of it has been hauled to the camp.
Mr.. Moe says that when completed
the smelter will have a capacity of
$50 tons. Coke and crude oil will be
used as fuel.
The camp is grestly in need of a
smelter, and it is sure to prove a
profitable investment. Nine leasers
are now shipping ore from the camp.
and development work which has
been in progress for some time. has
revealed large bodies of ore. The
permanency of the camp is assured.
There are also thousands of tons of
ore on the dumps which will pay to
smelt, but which is hardly rich
enough to ship. Mr.. Moe has Sc
cured a number of these dumps and
proposes to work them.
Mr.. Moe says that he expects to
have the smelter in operation before
the first of the year.

A Queer Fish.

A male fish which matches the young
Of its mate is the Chromis paterfamil-
ias. 1t is found in the lake of Liberals,
Palestine. Strange to say. this indus
trious fish matches its young in its
mouth. When the female has spawned
in the sand the male approaches and
draws the eggs into his gil1s, where
they remain until Matched, when they
struggle out of their confinement into
the parents mouth. AS many as 200
perfect young are sometimes found in
the mouth of an adult male. How the
fish manages to feed itself without
swallowing its young is mystery. The
grown fish is about seven inches long
and one and three-quarters wide. Its
back is olive green, shot with blue, and
the belly is silver white, marked with
green and blue.

satin; two layers of satin for each sole.
and thin layer of cotton batting may
be slipped between if one fancies a

SOUTH SEA ISLAND
COLONY IN AMERICA
Strange Community Is DiSGOV.
cred In Utah.

Salt Lake City. - Discovered the
strangest community in the United
States.
1t Is a community of south sea
islanders. A thousand in number, they
are now settled in the Skull valley In
Utah, between the Great Salt lake and
the Nevada line.
There are MaOriS, SamoanS and Ha-
waiians living and farming in perfect
harmony, intermarrying and. raising
children.
+ Twenty-Five or thirty years ago the
older men of this strange colony came
from across the Pacific, some as sail
ors, some as stowaways.
They wandered in small groups about
California, and some Of them came
across the Sierras into Idaho and Utah
They were starving when a group of
business men decided to help them.
They secured 1900 acres Of land in
the Skull valley, collected all the south
sea natives that they could find and
established them in q colony which
they call Ioseppa.
An American farmer was selected as
superintendent. Each man was paid
good wages at the start, and as soon
as they were capable they were allow
ed to buy half acre lots and cottages
at actual cost.
Now there is a new generation grow
ing up. Some Of the boys have gone
from the grade school and taken full
courses at the State Agricultural col
lege. Several Of the girls have become
stenographers in Salt Lake City. A
number have graduated from the Uni
versity Of Utah.

The Gan1s of ife

Life becomes, as the stoics more
than once tell US, like a play which
is acted or a game played with coun-
tiers. Viewed from the outside, these
counters are valueless, but to those
engaged in the game their Importance
is paramount. What really and ulti-
mately matters is that the game shall
be played as it should be played. God,
the eternal dramatist, has cast you
for some part in his drama and hands
you the role. 1t may turn out that
you are cast for a triumphant king.
It may be for a slave who dies of tor
ture. What does that matter to the
good actor? He can play either part.
His only business is to accept the role
given him and to perform it well. I"
Success or failure is thing he can de-
termine without stirring a hand. 1t
hardly interests him. What interests
him is that one thing which he cannot
determine-the action of your free and
conscious will.-Gilbert Murray.

Kinus and SHAVING.

The classic case of a king who knew
better than to let anybody else shave
him is that of Dionysius the elder, ty-
rant Of Syracuse, who appears to have
been unable to shave himself, for he
is said to have resorted to the un-
comfortable device of smuggling off his
beard with hot walnut shells, says the
London Chronicle. We may suspect
that Napoleon's was another case Of
the kind. Rogers asked Talleyrand
whether Napoleon shaved himself.
'Yes," replied Talleyrand; lone born to
be king has some one to shave him,
but they who acquire kingdoms shave
themselves" That way of putting it
pleasantly emphasizes the practical SUI
periority of the parvenu to the help
less, spoiled child of heredity, but pru-
dence probably entered into themat-
ter also, if TalIeyrand's statement was
correct.

WITH DONKEY AND DOG
WALKS 3,4OO MILES
Price Wins a Wager by a Long
Tramp.

Victoria. B. C.-Edward P. Price does
not wear medals in recognition of
worlds record tramp, neither is he the
author of any Travels by Foot tales
mot yet-but he has made something
Of a record for stamina and Is now
hopelessly a victim to Il relentless de-
sire to walk every highway which may
be casually named in his presence. He
has walked from Chicago to San Fran
cisco in a roundabout way, distance
Of 8, 400 miles. He does not claim that
there is anything remarkable about
that fact alone, but the circumstances
Of the trip make a good story.
The first consideration is the fact
that Mr.. Price at the beginning Of his
tramp was a tenderfoOt.
The Price party, for he did not trav-
Ell alone. was essentially tenderfOOt
group. Perhaps the most experienced
member was Bunny, donkey whose
eight years had at least taught him
caution. Another member was a collie
dog named Prince, which is now much
more than mere dog to Mr.. Price, and
another thing which does not appear
In the log of the journey, but upon
which he admits the successful con-
clusion of the undertaking largely de-
pended, was the taunts Of Prices
friends in Chicago.
Price left Chicago in midsummer,
1914, travelling westward along the
Lincoln highway. The tramp was the
result of a wager and was to be made
entirely on foot with the consideration
that the conditions would not be full
filed unless the journey was finished
with both Of his four footed compan-
ions. He insists without a blush that
every inch of the journey was on foot.
The certified statements Of the may
ors of the various cities along the
route form the credentials.
Starting without money. the commits
sariat was provided entirely by gun
and fishing tackle and tie proceeds
from singing at the show houses along
the way. The camp equipment, in
GLIDING provisions, amounted to 100
pounds, and this was Bunny's burden.

PREFERRED CAVE TO
LIFE IN A SOD HOUSE
Unique Home of Pioneer and
Family Brought to Light

CARRIER, Okla.-The falling Of five
feet Of cement porch Of farmhouse q
half mile north Of CARRIER brings to
light the unique home Of a pioneer of
this section.
Under this porch was a cave. The
cave was dug in 1894. At a point
along a little ravine a sandstone ledge
cropped out, and there s. 81. Peters
tunneied under and excavated two
large rooms, with a sandstone ledge
about three feet thick for a roof. The
rooms extended sixty feet under the
ground, and at the deepest place there
was perhaps eight feet of dirt on top.
To the back room a skylight by
feet was opened.
The rooms were plastered and white
coated. and the rock roof was white
washed, making it light enough for
one to read newspapers in any part Of
the cave. 1t was very dry at that
time, and coffee kept in the cave
ground easily. S. 81. Peters and his
family lived there many months be-
fore he built home above ground
The stovepipe ran up the skylight,
and to persons passing along the road
the smoke coming out Of the ground
was a novel sight. Hundreds OF per-
SONS visited this cave home, and all
wondered why the roof didn't fall In.
as it was not supported by timbers.
When the wet years came a little
spring In the cave which furnished all
the water for the family overfowed
the rooms at times, and In recent years
when the drain became clogged the
cave filed with water. The pioneer
later built a house almost over the
cave.
s. 81. Peters was but little longer
digging the cave home than was re-
quired to build a sod house Of the same
size. Sod houses were the first homes
Of most of the pioneers. The plaster
was the only expense to the cave
home. Today this section has the fin
est country homes In the state and is
In the wheat belt.

"Our schoolhouse is about twelve
feet high on the outside" writes one

person can walk right over and not
know that there is a building there.
We have to crawl down eight steps

noted during the severe weather.
