Glate Man, Soon Lee,
Sells Ellythimg but
Lite Chinese Whisky

Choice bird nests are for sale at
Soon Lees Chinese grocery store,
at prices ranging from S. to l0c.
And according to Soon Lee, who
is doing a thriving business down in
Omaha's Little China Town." they
are the kind that make you think
you're back in Picking.
Blu bird nests are only one of
many desirable things that are sold
by Soon Lee. For flu patients he
has a special brand of tea of which
makes the flu fly "velly quick"
Then there are dried oysters, caught
Just off the shores OF China, that,
when boiled with bird nests, makes
meal that would cause President
Feng Kuo-Chang to sit up and lick
his royal chops.
Fish caught in the tropical waters
off the Philippines, hang in long
row ACROSS the store. They have
been hanging there for many
months, but the flavor increases with
age, and after several years they
become as priceless as good old
bourbon.
For variety, Soon Lee has added
to his STAPLE" groceries fms, face
powder, paper lanterns and other
necessary articles. Chinese toys of
all types and fanastic designs are
for sale, and for originality they
are far superior TO any made in
Germany"

TODAY's BEAUTY TALK

You can enjoy a delightful
shampoo with very little effort and
for a very trifling cost, if you get
from your druggists a package of
Canthrox and dissolve a teaspoon
full in a cup of hot water. This
makes full cup of shampoo liquid
enough so it is easy to apply it
to all the hair instead of just the
top Of the head. Your shampoo is
now ready. Just pour a little at
a time on the scalp and hair until
both are entirely covered by the
daintily perfumed preparation that
thoroughly dissolves and removes
every bit of dandruff, excess oil
and dirt. After rinsing, the hair
dries quickly with a fluffiness that
makes it seem heavier than it is,
and takes on a rich luster and
softness that makes arranging it a
pleasure.-Adv.

SCHOOLS AGAIN
HAvEFULL QUOTA
OF INSTRUCTORS
Superintendent and Assistant
SCour the Country for
Teachers in Enforced
Vacation.

If school opens Monday, as is now
expected, there will be a full quota
of teachers ready to go to work.
Superintendent ]. H. Beverage and
his assistant, Miss Belle Ryan, have
spent nearly the whole of the en-
forced vacation replacing teachers
who had left.
Two of these were victims of the
"hu," others married, some went into
business and some entered service
with the government at Washington
or are planninl to go overseas. AL
together, the roll of teachers signed
at the beginning of the year has suf-
fered so many changes as to be al
most unrecognizable as the same
old list.
Many of the teachers who left to
take up commercial work are COM
ing back to us, said Superintendent
Beveridge. Some found their
new work less interesting than
teaching aid became homesick for
the school room. Most of those
who have left US, however, have
been replaced by new teachers for
whom we have had to scour the
country"
Christmas vacation will probably
be shortened to one week, to make
up for part of the time lost, and the
teachers training school, held in
previous wears, will be omitted.

Demand for Walnut
Logs Shows Sign Of
Rapid Slowing Up

The announcement in the papers
Wednesday of the canceling of $780,
100000 contracts for steel troop
ships gave an increased emphasis
to a countermanding order that
reached Council Bluffs earlier in
the week, which arrested the ener-
gies Of lot of men making big
money buying walnut logs for gov
eminent use in gun factories.
PottaWattamie county farmers
and land owners have reaped a
rich harvest in cutting their wal
nut timber. During the latter part
of the summer shipments reached
as high as 10000 feet a week. and
for months the output from this
vicinity has been measured in high
figures.
Prices were going skyhigh. One
farmer received $l,127 for one wal
nut tire, said to be the largest and
most perfect in the state, with a
trunk that cut 'sawlogs three feet
the ground. An excavation 10 feet
in diameter more than 50 feet above
to permit the cutting several feet
below the ground to get the wood
in what would have been the huge
stump. All log buyers were held
tip more than a week ago and all
have since been called in. Cutters,
who represent skilled workmen,
have also been laid off and trees
contracted for will not be cut.

thousand conservation pamphlets,
dealing with conservation, preserv.
ing and drying, economical use of

The successful outcome Of the
work through the county fairs fol-
lowed a plan outlined by Food Ad-
ministrator Wattles and to which
was pledged the State Fair associa-
ton and the various county fair as
sociations. Mr.. Pugsley volun-
teered to direct the work, which
was financed by local organizations
in each county.

U. s. COMPLIANT
TO Be LARGEST
IN ALL WORLD
Government Agent Tells of
Great Factory Which Will
Be Mile Wide and Three
Long.

w. A. Murphy, special agent for
the ordnance department, who has
been in Omaha securing laborers
for the large government project
at Neville Island near Pittsburgh,
expects to leave Thursday with the
men he has secured.
Mr.. Murphy is the original A. w.
. Murphy of bicycle fame, who, in
the days of bicycle riding and rae
ing, used to chase the fast express
sfains to the tune of a mile minute
and who later was one of the nerv-
lest automobile race drivers in the
west.
Enthusiastic Over Work.
But now that he is working for
the government War Labor depart
ment he is as enthusiastic over his
work as he ever was over his ex-
ploits on the turf.
When asked about the interest
ing features of the plant he said
he was up against it" for the real
interesting features were Uncle
Sans secrets, and not for publioa-
ton.
However, in his conversation he
stated some interesting items about
this great enterprise.
Greatest Gun Plant.
When complete, the plant will be
the largest ordnance or gun plant
in the world, compared to viii h
the krupp gun works will be a
pygmy, and it will require about two
years to complete it, at a cost ap-
proximating $200,000,000
1t is purely government project.
To the American Steel company is
entrusted the matter of expanding
the money, on the dollar-a-year
plan. Which means that on the
basis of requiring two years to COM
plete the project the company will
receive the sum of $500 for sup =
vising the expenditure of more than
$200,000,000. The main building is
to be one mile wide and three miles
long, thereby enabling the entire
process of constructions of mod
ern gun to be completed under one
roof.
$500 At Work.
There are at present about $500
men at work on the plant housed
by the government in quarters SIM
liar in every respect to the regular
army barracks. Comfortable indi-
vidual beds are furnished to each
man, and meals are furnished on
the cooperative plan condu ted
without profit.
There will be about $500 homes
erected on the island for govern
ment employees at an average cost
Of about $4,000

AT
DEEP LEVELS

The Ophir company is reaping an.
unexpected advantage through the
accidental opening of a stope on the
1000 level, where a superintendent
of years ago filled in with ore of a
grade not then considered CONNER
cial. Extraction of this ore has pro-
ceeded for several days and was
continued on Monday, the value of
81 cars averaging $20.75. The
quantity of ore in this fill is un-
known, many tons having slid down
Monday when the track below caved
beneath the descending weight. The
Ophir output Monday included three
cars that sampled $13,72, three cars
$27.23; four cars $15.11; four car
1854; three cars, 1888; three
cars, s11.77; three cars. $54.45,
and four cars $45.66.
From Con. Virginia there were
extracted three cars sampling $7.36;
three cars, $11.33 and three cars,
$21.53.
For the first time in many years
four of the northend mines, Union,
Ophir, Con. Virginia and Sierra Ne
vada are shipping ore to the Mexi-
can mill and the Mexican company
itself is profiting because of opera
lions that are attaining the mill ca
pacity. H. l.. Slosson, president of
the Union and Mexican, stated this
week that on the development of
the past two years, o apparent
in milling returns, indicates that
the Comstock lode, far from being
exhausted, is still capable of pro-
ducing it's millions, as an immense
proportion of the territory under
ground is unprospected. Virginia

RAlST0N VISITS
DIVIDE DISTRICT
BROKER AND MINING MAN HAS
GOOD WORD FOR
MINES

w. c. Ralston of the brokerage
firm of W. C. Ralston & Co. of
Reno, who came to Tonopah with
several other members of the San
Francisco stock exchange, visited
the Hasbrouck property with Man
ager George Kernick, and the Tono-
pah Divide, Divide Extension,
Brougher Divide and Dividend.
Mr.. Ralston visited the Gold
Mountain district about one month
ago and said that he was very much
surprised to see the rapidity with
which the various properties were
/ eng equipped. He said:
1.-The Tonopah Divide is continu-
ing to open up more ore daily and
it bids fair to become n of the big
producers of Nevada. The calcium
molybdate is a new discovery In this
district and there is every a to
believe that all the properties now
being opened up in the Gold Noun
tain district will prove that this
mineral is present in many other
dykes. Silver values are beginning
to come in in several of the shafts"
Mr.. Ralston, who is an old friend
of Harry Moore, superintendent of
the Rescue. visited that property and
made a very thorough inspection of
the various levels. He stated that
the work shows that Mr.. Moore has
lived up to the reputation he enjoy
ed in California as being a good min
er and one who knows how to fol-
low ore.
1.-The showing in the Rescue is of
a very good character and the body
of ore on the 1850 has every APP
pearance of being quite extensive. 1t
is of a good pay value and three feet
wide.
"On the 100 the wall rock shows
heavy naturalization and it looks
from the seams of quartz carrying in
that ore will DOR be opened up.
1.-The fact that the whole world
needs not only more silver but very
much more silver will prove to be a
wonderful benefit to that branch of
the mining industry and when you
add to this the fact that our gov
eminent has at last recognized the
silver mining industry by establish
ing a minimum price for silver of 81
per ounce, it means prosperity will
come very rapidly to the silver min
ing states and will be of untold ben
eft to the state of Nevada"
Incidentally it might prove of in
terest to the mining community to
state that Mr.. Ralston intends regis
tering in Reno and becoming a resi-
dent of the state of Nevada. He left
for Reno yesterday morning and
will make frequent visits to the
southern mining section.-Tonopat
