with open arms. The city feels just
~ proud of her visitors and the citi-

nothing to make the sojourn OF the
firemen a most pleasant one.
The Virginia firemen are fine
lot of fellows and worthy Of the best
we can furnish them. They are the
men who look after our So ~ both
day and night. Most Of the firemon
are volunteers who leave their work
eithers;dayv or night in case we are
t threatened by that terrible monster
FIRE. They, fight fires. regardless!
of their own safety and many times
at the risk of their lives in order to
help their felowman.
Let as all therefore, join in CIV
ing these boys the time of their
lives while they are within. our city.
That ttris will be dong goes without
saying on the .part iof the ..fiirenen

MILLIONS FOR SERVICE

Some idea of the amount of new
capital required to enable an electric
power and light company to keep
pace with constant expansion Of bust
hess and industries is gained from
figures recently published by the Pa
ciic Coal Gas and Electric Co., of San
Francisco. This company alone In
the past IA years has been required
to expend s~S1,274.370 In order to
keep pace with the demand of its con-
sumers. Community growth is de-
pendent to-day on the ability Of its
public utilities to supply the needed
service and for this reason the public
is vitality interested In the successful
operation of these companies. The
foregoing figures are typical OF the
expenditures that are required of util-
ity companies In all parts Of the West
to meet the needs of the people.

OLD AMMUNITION

An ex-soldier has just paid $4,000
900 NORMALLY 100000 00) for all
the remaining ammunition of the
British army in France. His name
is Francis Norman Pickett.
1.-The contract has just been signed
with the disposals board, and now we
possess about So 900 rounds of
ammunition" he said. by we 1
mean the people who are in the deal
with me. With money so tight as 1t
is Just now 1t was no easy task to
raise the purchase price of $4,000
900. / car assure you. The ammu-
milton represents all the small arms
stuff and shells no longer required by
the army. 1t is in France where we
are going to break 1t down. A staff
of 800 experts on explosives and 5000
men and women are to tackle the job,
which will take about two years to
accomplish"
The ammunition ranges from rifle
cartridges to fifteen-inch shells. Its
chief value lies in the T. N. T. (trini-
trotul) and the ammonia in 1t. Ex-
tracted, these, rich in nitrates. will be
transformed into very valuable ma
nure. The metal, much of 1t steel, is
to be remetaled. 1
There were a number of bidders
for possession of all the ammunition
dumps left behind In France by the
British army, and Pickett had to un-
dergo a very searching examination
into his history before he was al
lowed to buy. The authorities were
at great pains 10 satisfy themselves
that he is not a Bolshevist. AS a
matter of fact, he is an engineer. born
in ~Ilfracombe, Devonshire, thirty-four
years ago. Before this deal he had
bought 10,000,000 rounds Of French
and Belgian ammunition, built fac
tories to break 1t down, and did so
without a single mishap. And" he
said, you have to be very careful
about ammunition that may have de-

Union Land g. Cattle Company
Goes Into Hands of Receiver

sonnel or policy of the Union Land &
Cattle Company are contemplated by
Receiver w. T. Smith, he said this
morning in reply to questions regard
ing the future of the company.
Mr.. Smith came here from San
Francisco but formerly was in BUSH
ness In Elko. This, he said Is his
first experience as receiver.
81 do not know what the policy OF
the company will be from now on"
he said. THE position is new to me
and l do not know what instructions
the court may have to be carried out.
My conversation yesterday with Judge
Harrington was limited to a few min
utes so I have no clear conception of
anything he may have in mind.
ITO all questions regarding wheth-
er the company will continue in bust
ness or regarding future policy, | can
only reply: Il don't know"
Mr.. Smith explained that the re-
ownership had been made necessary
because of large amounts Of paper
maturing which could not at this
time be met. The receiver expressed
the opinion that the assets are more
than sufficient to pay all liabilities.
The receivership was brought about
by agreement between bank creditors
and officials of the company.

DOCTORED SILK

Women complain that their silk
stockings do not veal the way they
used to, says an exchange. 1t is CON-
monty understood that silk is doc
tored" somehow or other. somewhere
between the exploited form-producer
and the exploited worm-consumer
that Is now turning, but few persons
realize the nature and extent of the
process.
A writer in Chemical and Metal
lurgical Engineering makes 1t plain.
He takes a pound of raw silk. which
after washing is reduced to IL oun-
ces. This material. when 1t reaches
the consumer, has undergone the fol-
lowing chemical adventures:
THE twelve-ounce pound was
passed through a bath Of stannic
chloride and afterward through an
other batch of sodium phosphate.
These baths were repeated alternate
ly a considerable number Of times.
after which the silk received a bath
of aluminium sulphate to swell the
fiber. Then back 1t went to the tin
and the phosphate baths again, to
charge the swollen fbers with more
loading. Then 1t had treatment in
another batch OF silicate of sodium.
After this 1t was dyed in fine rich
black with logwood. which added
more weight. The final treatment
was with oil, to give it luster. The
result was SO ounces of beautiful
Silk of which IL ounces were and
