THE CURSE OF IKU"

This picture when projected at
n trade showing In the East, was OBJ
iected TO by the Imperial Japanese
Embassy at Washington and. In ac-
.cordance with instructions from the
DEPARTMENT of State, was suspended
from exhibition. Later the manu-
facturers of 1.-The Curse of Iku' COM
piled with the protests of the lmper-
ial Japanese Government. and the
picture then received their approval
The Japanese claimed that the picture
excited race prejudice, but inasmuch
as an agreement has been reached be-
tween the Japanese Government and
the manufacturers. no further trouble
in the projecting of the picture Is
anticipated.
Fifty years ago the Japanese cruel
fed white men who landed on their
soil To day 1t is different. THE
Curse of lku" will give you some
thing to think about---An American
shipwrecked. Is rescued by young
Japanese maiden. He is discovered
by her relatives. she is imprisoned
and tortured, finally forced to consor.
with a Dutch sailor, the only white
man permitted in the country, and
made to bear him child, which baby
was claimed by the Japanese TO be-
long to the American, The compli-
cations are numerous and the situat-
ions are said to be not only dramatic
but tense with q thriI seldom exper-
fenced. Don't fail to see 1t at the
Rex theatre Thursday and Friday.

J|TNEY DRIVER IS FINED
$50 FOR SPEEDING

John Bokovich. a jitney driver.
was arrested by Sheriff David Nc
Lean during the week and brought
before Judge Collins on a charge OF
violating the ordinance with respect
to the speed at which automobiles
and other motor vehicles may be
operated along the public highway.
Brokovich has been regarded as a
reckless driver. He has been eau
toned by the authorities on dicerent
occasions and warned ito stoy thte
practice. He paid but little atten-
tion, however. and when brought into
court he produced several witnesses
who were In the car. None, hoover.
seemed to know Just how fast he was
operating the car. but simply said
he as running at a moderate rate.
Sheric Mclean and Fred Brown.
driver OF the county car. testified
positively that .Bokoyich was operat-
ing his machine at a rate of speed at
least twenty-five miles per hour.
which is seven miles above the limit.
The justice imposed fine of $50
and told Bokovieh that the officers
were determined to put stop to the
reckless operation of automobiles.
which is becoming quite common
practice. He further said that II the
practice we're not discontinued in
the case of future convictions he in
tended to impose the limit. by which
he hopes to teach reckless drivers
to have some regard for the lives
and safety of others who have equal
rights upon the public highways.
Sheriff Mclean Is keeping a close
watch on the speeders and has de-
tcrmined to make arrests In all cases
OF violation of the law.

Joseph Featherstone and William
L. King of McGill as we'll as Herbert
ID. Bounds of Ely left here last Mon
day to join the colors. Harry L.
Kean and Joseph P. Dunham on
Thursday and John F. Bennett left
yesterday morning.
The above mentioned men went to
different branches of the service but
in the main their choice was the en-
gineers. The men who were arcepted
for the engineers were all skilled
tradesmen and by accepting the en-
gineers are assured of being able to
follow the same profession or trade
that they have become skilled in.
Advice was received from San
Francisco during the week by the
recruiting sergeant that the engi
neer regiments are nearly full and
stated 1t Is suggested that the mel
who are interested lose no time. Al
kinds of skilled men are desired ant

Ely has done wonders in the pas
Ia the matter of furnishing volun
teers, being second only to Reno In
the state, and 1t Is believed that In
the new engineer regiments thai
there will, be a quota of Ely men who
will help to uphold the honor of the

Great quantities OF rich ore are

mining men are unable to get teams
or trucks to haul the precious metals

ELY SCHOOL OF MINES
ON WORKING BASIS

The supplies and apparatus to be
used at the Ely School Of Mines ar
rived September 2S and will be set
ND ready for use as soon as possible.
This means that laboratory work
in Mineralogy, Assaying and Chemis-
try can be carried out very thorough
ly.
The stock for mineralogy Is COM
prised of about 100 economic miner
ais, a knowledge OF which, will give
anyone a very good idea OF the sub
ject.
There Will be practice in Fire and
Wet Assaying, taking up the fire as
say for gold. silver, lead and anti
mony The wet assaying will cover
such determinations as lead. copper
zinc, antimony, iron, tungsten. mag
nesium. aluminium, etc.
This school II run by appropriation
from the State Legislature, at no
cost to. those wishing to avail them
selves of an opportunity to study
along mining and metallurgical lines.
II is not an experiment because
there has been one in Virginia City
Nevada. for the past Is years. Anoth-
at Tonopah on its 3rd year. This
one and one at Goldfeld were started
June 1st, 1917.
There are 2S men and 2 ladies on
the list now These do not all at
tend classes every day but they are
expected to do so now that the Lab
oratory is equipped.
The School is being held In the
Ely Record building and the hours

ELY ASSURED
Of BUILDING
&L0AN ASSN.

THAT the Ely district will now
s.ye a local branch OF one of the
most substantial building and loan
associations In the country is now
assured. X. C. knight. secretary Of
the security Saving and Loan Asso-
eiation of Reno has been here for
soma days and the business men Of
this district have taken a lively In
terest In the matter. Such an asso-
tlation will fill a long felt want AMI
enable many of our citizens 10 build
their own homes which without tho
aid of such an organization they
would be unable TO do. A meeting
will be held during the week at
which local board of directors Will
be elected and City Clerk Alfred
Tamblyn will be formally chosen as
secretary. A casual glance at the
list of some who have signed appiica-
tions for stock will leave no doubt
that the organization is one of merit
and with such pilots at the nelm
prosperous results are sure to follow.
Some of these names are:
Ed. Millard. j. NJ. Loekhart, N. II.
Chaplin, W. b. Graham, campton
Commercial Co, w. II. Bishop, Judge
c ]. MeFadden, o. Nj. Wallace. Jr.,
Frank Swartz, II. p. Collins, Olfred
Tambyn, Harry Pollard, l.. IL. Muir
dock. C. w. .Backe. Lincoln Highway
Garage Co, o. G.. Bates, A. Hexam.
". H. Hillard. w. N. McGill. +. c.
Rowan.
With the aid OF this association 1t
Is eonservatively estimated that from
three to four homes will be erected
each month and this will soon care
for the great demand which has ex-
listed for homes in this community
for many months.
Where the risk is good anl oney
can be loaned without too great har-
ard. sixty per cent OF the entire In
yestment can be secured by way OF
q loan and paid of in monthly pay
ments. For example. II a man owns
q lot say OF the value Of $500. and
desires to build home worth $500.
the entire capital invested would be
$1,000. or this sum $1,000 could
be obtained by way Of a loan and
the actual cash needed would be
si20 in addition to the lot The rate
Of interest will be figured at 8 per
cent. SO that-with men earning good
wages 1t Is only necessary that they
exercise ust that ordinary care with
respect to their savings that every
man should exercise In order to soon
own bis home.

Would Help Homesteaders.

Washlngton.-The house Dec.
passed the bill providing that during
the war any homestead settler or
entryman may be permitted leave
OF absence for the purpose OF perform
ing farm labor elsewhere. Absence,
while actually engaged 10 farm labor,
to be credited as constructive resi-
dence on entry.
An amendment was agreed to
limiting. the provisions Of the bill to
those who have made homestead
application prior to this time.
Conservationists opposed the bill,
while its supporters pointed to the
shortage OF farm labor, which will be
greater next year, aud the bill pro-
vldes means where homesteaders,
instead of struggling with new lands,
relatively unproductive, can work on
established farms, where their efforts
will produce maximum results.
