Railway Motor Car
Makes Successful Trial Trip

j. E. Sexton of the Eureka Neva-
da Railway tried out his new railway
motor car with marked success, max
ing the round trip between Palisade
and Eureka last Sunday. This car
is Mr.. Sections own design, being
built upon an italia chassis retaining
the original 40 h. p. motor, trans
mission and differential, with rear
housing cut down to accommodate
the three foot gauge of his road.
The front end is carried upon a four
wheel engine truck of special design.
The body is a special job finished
in mahogany with leather upholstery
and accommodates eight passengers,
baggage, mail and express.
The heating system employed is
worthy of special mention, as use is
made of the exhaust through special
radiators to keep the temperature of
the passenger compartment COM
Portable.
With the stopping of speiss ship
ments and the usual falling off of
ore tonnage at this season of the
year, it is understood the local rail-
way company plans to use the motor
commencing next week and will run
it in place of the regular trains on
Mondays and Fridays. Unless the
freight tonnage increases there will
be but one freight train from Pail
sade-up Wednesdays and down
Thursdays.

EUREKA REJOICES OVER
PEACE PROPOSAL news

Last Sunday afternoon Manager
E. Sexton Of the local railway tele.
phoned the SENTINEL that he ex.
pected to arrive in Eureka about 2:3C
p. m. with his new motor car, and to
tell the people he was bringing some
important war news. A number of
autos and quite a crowd were at the
depot upon the arrival of the motor
car, and when the news to the effect
that Germany had made peace pro-
posals to President Wilson and asked
for an armistice was given out,
rounds of cheers went up.
The message was rushed up town
and posted on the bulletin board,
and soon all the fire and church bells
were ringing out the good news. Ru-
by Hill was notified by telephone and
responded with a giant powder sa-
lutte. Later a salute was fired in
Eureka.
In the evening the Lobster Club
Band played a number of patriotic
and stirring selections in front Of
the Eureka theatre, and the banner
house of the season at the movies
that evening indicated the joyous
spirit prevailing.
If the Kaiser and the German ma
ton could only realize the spirit of
patriotism and loyalty that is ever
present in the people over here. there
would be no haggling over Presi.
Wilson's peace terms.

Allies have broken the Hindenberg
line on 20-mile front at Cambrai

an open nature with no prepared
trench systems to overcome.

ELKO BANK LOVER THE TOP"

In anticipation of the Liberty loans
the Treasury Department of the Uni
ted States has issued U. S. Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness and al
loted so many to each bank in. the
country according to the amount of
it's total resources. 1t is not COM
pulsory upon a banks part to take
these certificates, but very essential
in order to furnish our Nation with
necessary funds to carry on the war
until returns come in from the sale
of Liberty Bonds.
In looking over the statement of
Director of Sales for the district of
the 18th Federal Reserve Bank at
San Francisco, we find the First Ma
tional Bank of Elko is the only bank
in the State of Nevada east of Reno
that has subscribed and taken its
full quota of these certificates. and
one only of two banks in the State
that has taken more than their

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The boys were busy Wednesday
moving the desks and seats from the
library into the commercial room
where recitations will be held the re-
mainder of the term. The library
room can now be used for indoor ex-
ercises during stormy weather.
In the study of civic patriotism
Friday afternoon, President Wilson's
peace terms ere taken up and re-
viewed and discussed by the students.
Mrs. Louise Spencer Ellis of Car
son, Nevada, visited the school Mon
day forenoon and made a short adj
dress to the Student Body.
Judson Hooper, Victor Rattazzi,
and Robert Lucey are working in the
interest of the Eureka Red Cross
Chapter to-day in cleaning up and
putting their work room in order.
During the past few years the Eu-
reka County High School has been
offering the General Course of study
as prescribed by the State Board of
Education, with commercial subjects
as electives. But owing to the fail
ure to cur a commercial teacher
this year. students are forced to take
literary instead Of commercial sub
jects. However, the full High School
Course is being given and all stu
dents are taking the required work
for graduation from this course
Realizing the Importance of COM
mercial work at this time. the board
has made unusual efforts to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Miss Lottie Feeley, but without sue
cess. Demands have been made up
on the teachers agencies, univer-
sites and school authorities all over
the country. Several teachers have
been located and kilograms immedi-
ately sent them, but invariably the
reply came back that a Government
position had been accepted.
j. V. Clark, of Tulsa, Okla, wired
his acceptance last week, but instead
of appearing Monday as expected he
sent a message saying that he had
been commissioned for overseas
work.
The High School is not alone in be-
ing unable to get a commercial teach
er, and more fortunate than a num-
Der of schools that have failed to OBJ
tain teachers for the regular work.
Some additional work has been been
required of the present teachers in
offering subjects to take the place of
the commercial electives, but a def
mite program has been worked out
whereby the requirements of each of
the al regular students of the High
School will be supplied.
The board and teachers earnestly
desire the help of patrons in making
this a most successful school year.
Regular attendance on the part of
pupils is one of the essentials, and
one in which parents can be of ma
terial assistance.
The valuable High School Library
is still open to the public.

Are You Doing Your Part For the
Boys Overseas, or Will You
Drop Your Eyes When They
Return and Question, "What
Have You Done?"

Governor Stephens said "A man
or woman who can afford to buy a
Liberty Bond and does not is tread
ing pretty close to the line which
marks him or her as a traitor. The
time has come when we are begin
ming to recognize traitors, and there
is. no place in free America for
Them"
Be honest with yourself, and see
it you cannot afford to buy a bond;
and if you have bought one, figure
out how you can buy more of them.
1t has been stated that after this
war there is going to be but two
classes of people. the Gins" and the
"outs." The 'Ins" will be the SOL
diers, the sailors, and the bond-buy-
ers or home helpers. The Outs
will be the shirkers, slackers and
traitors; they will rank lower than
the convicts; they will be detested
by all true loyal citizens.
The Tins" will be favored in en-
ployment. business and politics; they
will be given every advantage which
will be denied the outs" They
will have their credentials, if soldiers
or sailors. from the U. S. Govern
ment direct. If you are the bond
buyer, the home helper, your Gre
dentials will come directly or indi-
rectly through the Council of De-
tense.
The Council has prepared and will
send out to every citizen in the coun-
ty, a card QUESTIONABLE; no question
thereon can be objected to by a real
loyal American citizen. If you have
done your best, whether you have to
report that you have or have not
bought bonds, nothing more can be
expected of you. If you have not
done your part. then you will not
like to sign the card, and others will
have to fill it in for you.
The Councils of both State and
County realize that there are many
that cannot buy a bond and yet are
as honorable and loyal citizens as
many that buy thousands of them.
Then the only report they ask from
you is why you have not purchased,
in order that you may not unjustly
be classed with the "outs."
There are two things now for
every citizen to consider. First: how
can l possibly save to buy a bond or
more bonds. Secondly: will the rea-
son l give for not buying a bond, the
reason that l will place upon my
questionnaire, be such a reason as |
can unblushingly repeat to the boys
when they come marching home"
Up to the time of going to press,
the SENTINEL is advised that the
subscriptions for Liberty Bonds in
Eureka County total $53,450. On
the Honor Roll (which will be pub
lished later) there are but 233 names.
This is a disappointingly small pro-
portion of the population of Eureka
County. and another significant fact
