instant and stops the flow when the need has
passed. but gas dndeniably possesses fumes
that many people consider unpleasant. Also,
cooking on an ordinary gas range requires
fairly close attention from the cook. Elec-
tricity is undoubtedly the coming fuel. 1t is
absolutely clean, can be summoned or ban
ished by touch and does the work with the
utmost efficiency But in most places the cost
of electricity is 50 high as to be prohibltive
for cooking purposes, except in homes where
expense need not be closely considered.
WHAT ARE YOUR NEEDS?
Other points TO be taken into consideration
are these: Is a good range of temperature
possible? Is this method good for all kinds
of cooking? Is there any danger from fire!
Does the range or any part overhead when
not in use? Is it safeguarded SO that the heat
will not be wasted? Can the food be cooked
by clock rather than by trial?
And last, but by no means least, how much
does the element Of human intelligence enter
into the handling Of the stove? This is SO
important that it is wise, if possible, to pur-
chase a range, no matter what its type, that
has some safeguard against the vagaries OF
the human mind-in other words, one that is
fool-proof.
EXCEPT in old-fashioned houses and in
homes so far out in the country that gas is
unavailable the coal stove is so seldom used
that it may be considered out Of the running
when one is considering the purchase OF a new
range. There is the simple inexpensive and
servant-proof gas range so well known to the
apartment dweller; the gas range with the
insulated oven, that uses the principle of the
freless cooker, and finally, the automatic
combination gas and electric range which has
two insulated ovens, the upper for baking and
broiling and the lower for boiling or extremely
slow baking.
In each of the above three ranges the cook
ing top consists of the regular gas burners.
Only in the case Of the combination type are
the ovens electrically heated.
THE TEST OF THE THREE STOVES
The simultaneous appearance in the Tribune
Institute laboratory Of one of each OF these
three modern types of the kitchen range made
it possible to carry on some very interesting
experiments, in which the efficiency and the
cost of operation were determined by COM
parative tests as we'll as the quality OF the
food after cooking and the amount OF time,
skill and labor required to get the best results
from each type Of range.
The results Of these tests will probably in
terest any housewife who is thinking Of buy
ing o new range, and may prove helpful in
managing it after it is installed so that the
best results may be obtained
In initial cost or purchase price the gas
range is the cheapest. $3.50; the fireess gas

then stewing them in pan, and then using

range next, 500, and then the combination
gas and electric, at Sl25
In order that the tests might be really com
parative and absolutely fair, three meals, iden-
teal as to the kind and weight of food, were
cooked in the three stoves and the results
carefully noted.
There we're three roasts or beef, as nearly
as possible alike in quality and weight, Fran
coma potatoes, stuffed baked onions, and the
kind of delicate bread pudding which goes by
the name of quality pudding" The entire
meal was cooked in the oven Of each one Of
the stoves Onions were chosen as the vege-
table because their strong favoring oils might
easily volatilze and affect the other food in
the ovens. In all three cases the roast was
scared before being placed in the oven.
The calculations proved that it took one and
one-half hours to cook the meal in the tireless
gas oven, and that with the price Of gas 81
per thousand cubic feet the fuel cost was / "a
cents. With the combination gas and electric
range, where the meal was also cooked in an
insulated oven, the same results were accom-
plished in the same time, but at cost of ii n
cents, the rate for the electric current being
10 cents per kilowatt hour.
RESULTS OF THE TEST
The ordinary gas range which was tested
had. of course, an upper and lower oven, but
also it possessed one feature which the cleo
trio range lacked-namely warming closet.
Both gas stoves had this advantage over their
gas-and-electric rival. The results as TO the
quality and flavor the shrinkage OF the meat
and the time Of the cooking were surprisingly
similar in the case of the gas range with the
insulated oven and the combination gas and
electric range. There was no mingling OF
odors in either case, the insulation OF ooth
ovens being so perfect that there was no cir
culaton of air, and therefore no trace OF the
pervasive onion flavor or odor in the delicate
bread pudding
The shrinkage of the meat cooked in the or
binary gas range was 35 per cent, as COM
pared with 25 per cent in the gas range with
the insulated oven and 81 per cent IN the
combination gas and electric range. While the
results obtained from the ordinary gas range
we're as satisfactory as could be expected IN
comparison with those given by the hreless-
cooker ovens, there was a slight flavor OF on
ions TO be detected in the remainder OF the
food. Also, the dinner required much more
attention during the cooking process than was
necessary with either Of the meals prepared in
the others.
The meat, for example, in order to prevent
excessive shrinkage and dryness, had to be
basted often. Therefore, although the opera
ton of the ordinary gas range needs but little
skill and forcthought, 1t does require great
deal Of attention dur ng the actual operation

can, of course, be overcome by using self
basting rooster, which has the further advan-
tage Of lessening the shrinkage by making the

SPECIAL UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE
MAKES ITS REPORT

The legislative committee appoint
ed to investigate the University of
Nevada, has filed its report with the
Legislature. which in effect endorses
President Hendrick and recommends
that the members of the board of
regents be elected for term of ten
years, and only one. new regent be
elected every two years. The report
affirns the fact that financial affairs
have been laxly administered for
four years at the university, although
the money accounts are all right.
1t declares the new members of the
board of regents acted conscientious
ly in demanding the resignation of
President Hendrick, but says the
qualifications of Abel and Baker as
candidates were doubtful, in view of
a prediction pledge, alleged to have
been given. to remove Hendrick. and
Curler is criticised for agreeing to
the investigation and then, without
such investigation. voting with the
majority in favor of demanding the
resignation of Hendrick. Further,
the report says President Hendrick
should not have been dismissed with
out a hearing; says he was not guilty
of pernicious political activity, and
his visits to Carson City and WASH
ington were under orders of the
board of regents.

Will Try Tractor
On Moving Machine

Elko Independent: Albert Han
kins. one of the prosperous and pro-
gressive ranchers of the Hylton dis
trict, has purchased small tractor
which he proposes to try out on a
moving machine the coming Sum-
mer.
Mr.. Hankins says that the tractor
has been successfully worked in other
places and he sees no reason why it
will not work here. He believes that
considerable more work can be ac-
complished than with teams.
On all of the large ranches in Elko
County it is necessary to keep large
number of horses just for haying
purposes. The cost of keeping these
horses during the nine or ten months
of the year when they are not in use
is necessarily high, and if tractors
prove successful in doing the work a
big saving will be effected. Mr..
Hankins' experiment will be watched
with considerable interest.

FEDERAL ROAD AID
Secretary of Agriculture. Says No
Particular Kind of Material
Will Be Required

The Secretary of Agriculture gave
out a statement last week to refute
the report that States desiring to OBJ
tain money for roads under the Fed
eral Aid Road Act, which appropri-
ates $85, ,000. 900, must build only ex-
pensive roads, and to make it clear
that no particular kiId of material
will be required or favored by the
Department of Agriculture to the
detriment of other materials.
There is not the slightest truth
in such a report" said Secretary
Houston. This department, which
is charged with the administration
of the Federal aid road Act, has
placed absolutely no restrictions.
either direct or implied, upon the
kinds of highways to be constructed.
States may submit for approval any
kind of road, even an earth road, and
approval will be given if the con-
struction be substantial in character,
suitable for traffic needs. and meets
the terms of the Federal Act. To
give State legislators and highways
officials the impression that this de-
partment favors only costly types of
road, or discriminates in favor of any
particular material. results not only
in spreading misinformation. but in
placing barriers in the way of States
which wish to avail themselves of
Federal aid in road construction.

BIG ELKO RANCH DEAL
Hylton & Clayton Bros. Take Over
the Morgan Hill Ranch in Elko
County

Saturdays's Elko Free Press: A
deal was closed yesterday whereby
the firm of Hylton & Clayton Bros.
take over the Morgan Hill ranch in
Elko County, consisting Of about 23,-
600 acres, 2.1OO head of cattle and
100 head of horses, the consideration
being between 100000 and a half a
million dollars.
This ranch is located on the North
Fork of the Humboldt river, and ex-
tends practically from its source in
the North Fork mountains to its
mouth near Elburz, with the excep-
ton of number of miles from the
DEVILS Gate canyon to the canyon
Just above the Keddie ranch near
the old Gilruth place. This ranch is
one of the large ranches of the coun-
ty and was formerly known as the
Murphy ranch. All the land goes in
on the deal, with the exception of
about 1900 acres. known as the Hay
stack ranch. which adjoins the lower
part of the Rancho Grande ranch on
the upper part of the river.
This enterprising firm composed of
]. ]. Hylton and the four Clayton
Brothers, Arthur. Archie. AL and
Charles, was formed three years ago,
at which time they bought the Home
stead ranch on the South Fork. con-
sisting of 1000 acres; they leased a
part of the Morgan Hill ranch, that
portion known as the Rancho Grande.
and have purchased several thousand
head of stock, until they became one
of the large stock companies OF the
county. Since that time they have
bought several thousand acres on the
North Fork. adjacent to the ranch
they have just taken over. and each
member of the firm has come to be
recognized as among the leading and
substantial stockmen of the State.
The senior member of the firm.
John J. Hylton, is probably one of
the wealthiest and largest individual
land owners in the State. He is a
man of about 60 years of age, and
every dollar he owns he has made
by his own efforts. Coming to Elko
County in early days, he at first
worked out as a hired man; realizing
the favorable prospects of the future
for this county. he made investments
which realized him handsome profits.
until to-day he is rated one of the
few millionaires in the eastern part
of Nevada.
The property will be taken over by
the new owners next Monday and
the ranch will be in charge of the
Clayton Brothers.

resented the act of the guard and re-
fused to move. According to witnesses.
Honeyman pushed the girl with his
billy" This angered her and she let
loose with an uppercut. This enraged
the strikers, who had collected about
the scene, and resulted in the dismissal
of the guard by James Brennan. man
