ish Scheme

LONDON, March An order in
council establishing a new pension plan

his earnings previous to the war. No
single pension, however, shall be in
excess Of $lS.15 weekly.
The allowance for children is 1925
for the first child and a sum slightly
less for each subsequent child.
\ soldier not totally disabled will re.
ccive a pension based on the degree TO
which his disablement affects his earn
ing powers. Widows will receive halt

entitled il totally disabled. A disabled
soldier requiring the services Of an at
tendant is allowed fees up to s. a week
for such services. Widows win be
granted special funds for the expenses

tor own living.
The actuary report accompanying
the plan estimates the expense for tbs
first year at $4,000, 900, which there
after will decrease annually.

BAKERS ANDCOOKS
WANTED FOR ARMY

The following letter has been re-
ceived from the War Department by
Private John II. Shaw, recruiting Off
Ger for this district:
TO All officers of the General Recruit
ing Service:
By direction of the acknowledgement
the following letter from the quarter
master-general, dated June %, 1917, is
quoted for the information and guild
ance of all concerned:
81. In order that the training of
bakers and cooks for the increased
forces may be started at once, ii is
requested that 100 privates be trained
as bakers and 500 privates to be
trained as cooks be transferred to the
quartermaster corps at once.
''2. These should, as far as possible.
be from men who have had experience
as cooks and bakers in the army or in
civil life. If not, they should be men
of good physique, strong and robust,
who are willing to be trained as bak-
ers and cooks.
"3. In the event that there are not
sufficient recruits possessing these
qualifications at the recruit depots
and depot posts, it is further recon-
mended that recruiting officers be au-
thorized to recruit the required num-
ber If possible. certain physical de-
fects of a baker or cook should be
waived. A man might be physically
fit to perform the duties of a baker
and yet have certain minor defects
(such as fat feet) which would inca
pacitate him from marching with in
fantry.
a. 1t should be explained to the
men that the opportunity for promo
tion is unusual in the bakery COM
panies.
"5. The names of these men should
be reported to this Office as soon as
possible, in order that they may be
assigned to bakery companies and
schools for instruction"
Enlistment of these cooks and bak-
ers is desired at the earliest practi-
cable date.

d0IDBANKS QUICKSILVER
MILL DESTROYED By FIRE

A telephone message was received
at the general Offices of the Goldbanks
Quicksilver Company here late Tues
day afternoon that its mill had been
destroyed by fire. w. G. Adamson,
president; Neph Adamson. vice-presi
dent, and A. Livingston, secretary of
the company, left Immediately for
Goldbanks, and upon their arrival
found the mill in ruins, but the COM
pressor plant and mining equipment
were not damaged.
The plant was of fifty tons daily
capacity and was completed a year
ago at a cost of approximately $70.-
000 In addition there were from $50
to 200 TASKS of quicksilver destroyed,
which will bring the total loss up to
$S5,000, partially insured.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but there is no reason to believe that
it was of an incendiary character.
The fire was discovered in the fur
mace room by three employees present.
but the flames spread so rapidly that
it was impossible to save anything.
President Adamson states that the
plant will be rebuilt as soon as pos
sible. but that owing to the difficulty
in securing delivery of material and
machinery. it will probably be some
time next spring before the reduction
of ores will be again in operation.

WAR FINANCES TO
BE POLITICAL ISSUE
(By international News servics)

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The big
gest lobby in the history of the United
States Congress, the presence OF which
was recognized by President Wilson
when he appealed to the business in
terests of the country to sell at fair
prices" has caused a bitter feeling in
Congress, which undoubtedly will lead
TO a demand that Congress must be
more fully informed regarding the
expenditure of unparalleled sums of
money by the administration. The
conduct of war finances is certain to
be the biggest issue in the next con-
gressional campaign.
This selling with the left hand and
buying with the right must stopi"
declared Senator Hardwick in the
Senate this afternoon. in launching
an attack against the National De-
Tense Council. He pleaded for the
retention of the amendment to the
food and liquor bill which forbids
members of the council from purchas-
ing supplies for the government from
concerns in which they may be finan-
cially interested.

Today Judge Ducker entered the

1t is ordered that the application

hereby denied.
This order is made upon the ground
that the constitutionality of the water
law. of Nevada has been sustained by

ing this court upon the present appli-
cation for a temporary injunction
upon the constitutionality of said law.
The State Engineer, under this view,
has authority given him by the Legis-
lature to act within the provisions of
said law. and no valid reason appears
why he should be enjoined II he re-
fuses to act, or acts enormously, the
injunction sought is not the proper
remedy

steps necessary to take and perfect
