Western Ore Purchasing Agency when
shown the New York dispatch by the
Reno Gazette. He predicted eighty

his predictions have nearly come true.

1t is bound to go to a dollar or higher.

there Is no better trademark for a

There were about 40 members on
the charter. The order is the Oldest

cipals Of our government to teach pa

this organization. The order is very

Elko at this time Is resuming frater.
nal ties which were previously estab-
lished In this state SO years ago, tribes
were inexistence in the state up TO II
or II years ago when the charter was
returned, and strong movement Is
now under way to reorganize the en-.
tire state. The return of the previous
charter was very probably largely
caused by the drop in silver as the
principal tribes were located in silver
camps.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-No direct
word regarding the treatment by the
German officials of Brand Whitlock in
Belgium has reached the state depart
ment in Washington. Mr.. Whitlock,
the famous war correspondent, Is the
head of the American relief committee

committee are being virtually held as
prisoners and that the American flag
is no longer allowed to fly over the
legation headquarters The United
States state department has started an
investigation and grave concern is felt
in official circles for the safety OF the
relief committee members.
1t was stated this afternoon that
Ambassador Whitlock would probably
be recalled from Brussels and sent to
Havre, France, where the Belgium gov
ernment is now established. defin.
ite decision on this move will be reach
ed shortly. Brand Whitlock Is no

BODY OF MEXICAN
FOUND IN RIVER

The body of a Mexican was found in
the Humboldt river about 100 yards
below the bridge that leads toward the
Hot Springs this morning. Papers
found in his clothes identified him as
Joachim Fernandez. The body was
standing upright in the middle of the
river and necessitated securing raft
before he could be reached. He was
evidently a man of about 40 years of
age. From the bloated condition oS

What WILL We Do
FOR OUR ELK0 BOYS?

What are we going to do for the
boys? The committee OF boys appoint
ed couple OF weeks ago has present
ed a petition bearing the names OF
about. one hundred OF Elko's boys be-
tween the ages OF thirteen and twen-
ty; and asking that the community
provide some place where they may
spend the time after school and after
work. A community cannot afford to
neglect such an appeal from its boys
cannot afford II either from the stand
point Of morals or business.
Elko has all the essential marks OF
a growing city: Comparing banking
deposits with population Elko is the
second banking town or city in the
United States: business stands upon
the firm foundation OF an extremely
wealthy agricultural community; the
climate is that Of vigor and industry:
the town Is aptly situated directly in
the path OF two continental railways:
and all its teeming with the western
freedom of expansion. Only a blind
man would hesitate to invest in Elko.
Along with the great actual and po-
tential development Elko has a school
system which is attracting wide at
tention. couple Of weeks ago the

tractive community from a residential

view.
But there Is one fundamental par
ticular respecting which Elko-in
common with practically all towns
is remiss: No provision has been
made for taking care OF its boys after
school and working hours. 1t was
hoped that the funds for the new high
school would be adequate to provide
a swimming pool and bowling alleys,
