DIRECTORS AFTER
GOOD ENGINEER
Have No Preiudices Regarding
Routes; Will Work for
Interest of All

The quest of a high class highway
engineer to take charge of the road
building in this state has been started
by the board of directors of the de.
partment of highways. which was or.
eanized yesterday. says the Gazette.
w. b. Alexander. chairman or the
board, said this morning that the high.
est class engineer that can be Sc.
cured will be employed by the board
and the people of the state could feel
assured that the roads built under the
direction of the engineer and the d.
| rectors would be the best and that
all parts of the state would be treat
ed alike.
The highway engineers salary is
fixed at $4,000 a year and il is be-
lieved by the directors that a high
class engineer can be secured for
this money because of the fact that
highway engineering is practically
new field.
A survey of all highway routes in
the state mentioned in the act Great
ing the highway board will be made as
soon as possible and the work this
year will probably be confined mostly
to preliminary organization. Where
/ II is possible to do winter work on
the roads there may be some highway

The members of the board of di.
rectors OF the department of highways
feel that perhaps they take office un.
der circumstances that may initiate
against their reception in confidence
/ by all the sections of the state and
therefore they desire TO say that they
hope to prove their earnestness and
to mrit by their acts the confidence
and the cooperation of the entire
state.
They declare that they have no

The members find that the work
OF planning a set of highways for the
state OF Nevada within the financial
and engineering limitations existing
and suited to the promotion OF the
communications, trade and the up.

OF the whole state, is a task that is

Aberdeen.-The South Dakota leg
islature wanted to do the right thing
by the South Dakota soldiers who
served their time on the border, and
South Dakotans generally have APP
proved the action of the legislature
IN appropriating SIS, 600 in order to
pay the soldiers SIS a month for the
nine months service on the border,
but obstacles have developed which
may prevent the troops from receiv-
ing their pay, and may even force
them to give up their khaki uniforms
and ~overcoats.
According to a statement by Lieut..
Col. William A. Halle, Of the Fourth
South Dakota infantry, the adjutant
general has ruled that the boys can
not receive the money appropriated
until they turn in their overcoats and
sweaters. Many of the soldiers, it
is said, have nc other winter clothing,
and, according to Col. Halle, they dis
like going about in barrels until they
receive their money from the state,
which may be some time in coming.
Said Col. Hazel: Many of the boys
who do not live in Aberdeen are pay
ing what little money they had left
after coming from Fort Crook for
room and board here. They haven't
sufficient funds remaining to take
them to their homes, and not know
ing when they will receive their
money from the state, they are loath
to part with their overcoats in this
cold weather.
There is a rumor. too" said the
colonel, chat the state auditor has
found some provision in the state con-
~stitution which causes him to ques.
ton the legality of the payment of
the appropriated by the legislature.
A number Of guardsmen have made
fruitless efforts to sell their claims
against the state. The situation here
undoubtedly exists throughout the
state. 1t is understood that Adjt. Gen.
Morris has gone to Pierre to investi-
gate the matter and discover when
the boys can get the money"

Sues Mitchell City Council.

Mitchell.-O. E. Cassem, president
and principal owner of a street rail-
way system in Mitchell over which a
street a has yet to run. has begun
suit against the city council for its
attempt to repeal the franchise under
which he and associates were granted
permission to build and operate their
system. Under the terms of the fran
chise, Mr.. Cassem and the members
of his syndicate were given until De-
cember 1. 1916, to have at least twelve
blocks of the railway system in opera
ton, The council at a special meet
ing in January thereupon repealed the
franchise and the company has begun
a fight to attack this action in the
courts, or the ground that the city
authorities exceeded their authority
in the matter.

Taxidermists Are ScuIptors, Too,

1t Is very doubtful if many Of the
100000 or more people who visit the
animal exhibits of the National mu-
scum annually realize the great
amount of work put on each animal
in the mounting by modern taxiderm-
lists. The larger animals are mounted
on so-called "manikins" of REINFORCED
plaster, and are not, as is quite gener-
ally supposed, simply stuffed with ex-
celsior or sawdust. The expert taxi
dermists employed by the museum are
more in the nature of sculptors than
anything else. They are said to have
been the pioneers in this kind of work,
and at this time complete their work
by constructing life-sized hollow plas-
ter figures which are not only light
and durable, but also far more real
istic than those produced with saw
dust and excelsior.

NEW PROFESSION FOR WOMEN
They Are Making Marked Success az
Secretaries and Earn Very
Good Salaries.

Evidence of rapid strides toward the
creation Of a new profession Offering a
good field for women is set forth in an
article in the New York Evening Post
by Raymond G. Fuller, director of the
secretarial department of the Russell
Sage College of Practical Arts at Troy,
n. Y. He points out that government
statistics and the reports of such or
CARNATIONS as the international bureau
Of occupations, New York; the Wom-
ems Educational and Industrial union
of Boston, and the bureau of occupa-
tons for trained women of Philadel-
phia show that secretarial work is 'be-
Iues Of vocational choice among col
lege women" He states that Simmons
college in Boston is the only institu-
ton of collegiate standing which offers
q complete secretarial course, and that
the demand for it's graduates is so
great that other colleges are rapidly
falling in line.
In New York salaries begin at from
So to $15 a week, increase to from
5000 to $1,000 a year at the end of
two years, and to from 81, 800 to $1,S0O
a yer within another year or two, or
as soon as the secretary has definitely
lifted herself from the stenographer
class and shown real interest in the
affairs Of her employer, ability to grasp
details and attend to them without de-
lay and has developed q certain degree
of judgment. Twenty per cent of the
graduates of the se~cretarial depart
ment Of Simmons so into business oc-
equations, 10 to Is per cent become
teachers, and the rest find employment
with lawyers, professors, doctors and
other individuals, and clubs, settlement
houses, colleges, etc. A recent survey
of 500 college women in secretarial
positions showed 80 per cent connected
with suffrage, social and religious or
~ganizations; IA per cent employed by
schools and colleges; s per cen by
public officials; Z per cent by business
firms and banks; z per cent by law
yers, and 6 per cent by doctors.
