reasonable opponent, but he has in
satiable men with him.

Establishing of the only precious
metals experiment station in the Uni
ted States at the University of Ne
vada is now assured. according to q
telegram received here from Secre-
tary of the Interior Payne, who has
approved the location of the station,
says the Reno Journal.
Some time & the State Legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000 to con-
struct a building to house the expert

cided to establish one here. Plans
for the building were drawn by F. j.
DeLongchamps. State architect, and
have been approved by the Secretary

The experiment station will be de-
metals only and will become a part of
the Mackay School of Mines. Under
the agreement reached with the Gov

larly of the rarer forms and combin-
ations of the metals found in Nevada.

Where They Started

Richard Spillane financial writer on the staff of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, was over in New York not long ago to see a
man who is the head of one of the greatest railroads in the
world and representative of John D. Rockefeller's big interests
in transportation lines. Here is Spilanes account of the meet
ing and some of his pertinent observations concerning men who
have reached commanding positions in life from the bottom
where were you at 20? the newspaper man asked.

Where did you begin? ?" the greatest publisher in America,

"At IL years of age, with a capital of three cents" was the
answer.

The head of the biggest life insurance company in the

Frederick Underwood, president of the Erie railroad, was

THE WHITE COLLAR BOYS

A whimsical writer in n of the
New York dailies observed that he
found the economic problem simple
for himself, If frankly viewed: IL
houses are high. don't buy them; sell
them. IL wages are too high. go to
work and earn them. IL stocks are
too low, buy them; il they are too
high. sell them.
Possibly some of this whimsical
philosophy might help some of the
white-collar class who find themselves
between labor and capital, receiving
lower wages and obliged to live more
extensively than the class common
ly denominated labor. If the clerk
finds the house painter is getting
double his pay, and can work in ov-
erals. according to our writer's phil
osophy, he would see in it only an OPP
portunity. Moreover. if he looks into
the opulent class, he would find that
many of these well-paid men have
work that requires more training,
skill, and intelligence than the work
he himself does. He would find, in
short. that the law Of supply and de-
mand is still working, and not a vio-
lation of it; and when there are
more volunteers for a certain class of
work, the price comes down. Most
of the jobs he will, however, not vol
unteer for-although they may re-
quire more intelligence than his own
job. He will find them, frankly, too
strenuous.
This is the philosophy of a lot of
our red-blooded college boys these
days, in vacation time and after grad
uation. Finding labor well paid, they
are reaping the benefits exultantly,
and building thereon for their future
career.
Money is only part of the consider
alton of any job. You are paid also,
in certain jobs, by protection from
the weather, or from dirt. by freedom
from physical exertion, by convenient
arrangement of work hours, and by
the association with polite people. II
all or any of these, plus the wage,
isn't enough, the young nan can usu-
ally get a larger wage by substituting
cash for one of the valuable perquis-
ties of his former job"Engineering

CONGRESS AND PROHIBITION

The Eighteenth amendment is a
part of the constitution. placed there
in the regular lawful way. Many
lawyers have professed to believe 1t
unconstitutional, but the decision OF
the Supreme Court removes all doubt
on that subject. But the Volstead
act. which enforces the amendment,
is simply a law of Congress and can
be changed by any session Of that
body. 1t arbitrarily defines as in
%toxicating any liquor that contains
more than one-half of one per cent OF
alcohol. Another Congress may raise
the limit to permit the manufacture
Of wine and beer. This makes it a
matter to be settled at the congress

COUNTY DIVISION

The open season for minor political
positions is now on, and until IL
closes In November, the dear public
will be compelled to listen to a var
led assortment of weird and fantastic
statements from some of the candi-
dates for legislative offices, In their
wild efforts to secure a seat in the
Carson City ~Statehouse, where they
promise to make the world safe for
democracy-and themselves.
Not being able to point with
pride" to any portion of their past
record, a few of them must view
with alarm" some old established and
satisfactory condition Of the States
affairs, and trust to luck that the few
voters necessary to disturb the pres
ent balance may be bulled into cast
ing a vote for said candidates, under
a temporary delusion that they are
on the square.
County division Is always advocat-
ed when an embryo Lodge or Under
wood is striving for a toe hold on the
legislative ladder, and al conjure up
no other earthly reason for dragging
his name before the public.
Anent this subject, the Elko Free
Press says:
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1920-07-17

We are told that Gold Circle, Car
lin and Tuscarora will have a candi-
date for the Assembly, as will the
eastern part Of the county, and with
this announcement m a story of
county division. The eastern part of
the county, with Wells as a leading
spirit. has the germ of county divi-
sion in their bonnet, with Wells as
the county seat of the new county.
Then in the western part of the
county is a well defined movement
that a bill will be introduced in the
Legislature to cut of that portion of
Elko County on a line with the east
ern part of Eureka County. The
line running just west of Elko. The
plan is to then divide this cutoff por-
ton between Eureka and Lander
Counties, extending the line between
these two counties north, giving each
county a narrow strip of land extend
ing to the Idaho State line. The
county seat Of Lander County would
be moved from Austin to Battle
Mountain. and the county sea of Eu-
reka County from Eureka to Carlin,
those back of this movement contend
ing that the people living in that por-
ton of Elko County are too far from
the county seat. Gold Circle has
long wanted to be added to Humboldt
County. and a bill to this effect would
have been introduced in the last Leg
islature but for the county division
fight of Pershfng County.
The new line cuts OF about sixty
miles from the western line of Elko
County and includes Bullion, Carlin,
Gold Circle, Tuscarora, Edgemont,
Whiterock, and Aura. This is no
idle rumor Is our information comes
from reliable sources. They have
maps and plats drawn, together with
the data Of the classification and val
ue of the lands included in that por-
ton to be cut on, and to-day men are
working along definite plans.
This the4s makes the election Of
the members of the Assembly assume
than the usual interest. Every
man coming up for this Office will be
put on record as to his attitude to-
wards county division. and there will
be no lodging the issue. Senator Hes
sol holds over for another term and
there will be no Senator to be elected.
but four assembIymen. With the Elko
divided there will be grave
danger of the Legislature passing a
county division bill. but with a dele
cation solid against it, such a bill
would die a bornin'.

Sandy Hook, N. j.. July Is
Shamrock ", British challenger for
the Americas cup, to-day won the
first race of the 1920 regatta. sailing
across the finish line at 4:25:3O I'M
official time.
Parting of the throat halyards on
the American defender Resolute re-
suited in her being withdrawn from
to-day's contest after beating Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenger to the
turning mark in a thirty mile race.
Giving the American sloop a wide
berth, the Irish baronet's pride swept
on towards the finish. while the de-
fender IA taken in tow by her steam
tender.
Resolute's Halyards Part
Resolute's mishap came as the two
great sloops. after having made their
way through an electrical storm and
torrential cloudbursts, were bearing
down On the turning mark, four miles
off Asbury Park, N. j.
From the start until the time her
halyards parted, the American boat
had easily the upper hand. and it
seemed as if only a falling wind keep
ing her out beyond the time limit
could prevent her from taking to-
days honors in handy fashion.
Next Race Saturday
The next race is set for Saturday,
if the Resolute shall have completed
her repairs to her throat halyards.
A somewhat similar accident caused
Sir Thomas Upton to withdraw his
first Shamrock in the regatta of 1899.
In the second IA of that series with
Columbia defending the cup and
Shamrock in the challenging role, the
British craft carried away her top
mast and was withdrawn as was Res
olute to-day. Columbia continued
and completed the race which vas a
ten-mile triangular contest, and was
credited with a victory.
Some Previous Withdrawals
AS Columbia won the first race and
the third without difficulty, Lipton's
initial attempt to lift the cup failed.
All told there have been but three
times when both competing yachts
did not finish out the race. In the
final contest of the 1895 series Val
kyrie III withdrew Immediately after
crossing the line because of Lord
D~unraven's dissatisfaction with rae
ing conditions. The second with
drawal was hat of October II, 1899,
when Shamrock III did not complete
the final race of the series because
she lost the finish line in the fog.
