FORMER EUREKAN ARRESTED
FOR SELLING BOOZE

Mondays Elko Free Press has the
following account of the arrest at
Elko two alleged bootleggers. one
of them being Pete CALI, who ran q
soft drink" place in Eureka last
year before removing to Elko:
The war against bootleggers goes
merrily on in Elko, and yesterday
two more men were placed under ar
rest charged with selling liquor, both
being taken in the county jail and
later released on cash bail of $500
each. The men were VIM. Rahas. a
Greek, who has been conducting what
is known as the Nevada saloon, op-
posite the Western Pacific depot, and
Pete CALI. an Italian. recently from
Carlin, who has taken a lease on the
Telescope hotel.
Information came to the officers
some time ago that liquor was being
sold at both places and the officers
have been keeping close watch. Two
detectives we're employed, who went
to first one and then the other places
at different times, and both of these
men declare that they had no trouble
in buying drinks Of intoxicating fiq-
uor. Search of the Telescope disclos-
ed bottle Of liquor, nearly all gone.
but no liquor was found in the Me-
vada saloon. Both men claim they
are innocent and will fight the case.
CALI was given a preliminary hear
ing in the Justice Court Wednesday.
at the conclusion of which Judge
Doughty bound him over to appear
in. the District Court on March 7th
next.

PROBABLE SHIPMENT OF
DJREkk'S STAG DUMPS
e,.Iter and Railway Officials
Reported Arranging To
Remove Every Ton

General Manager J. Z. Sexton of
aha local railway made a special mo-
-, trip from Palisade Wednesday
md was accompanied by d. d. Muir.
Manager of Mines of the United States
v,n,ns q Smelling Company.
n "a understood their visit to Eu-
,ska at this time was to look into the
,n.tter Of connecting up by rail the
p,cbmond Stag dumps at the south
and OF town with the main line Of
the local road at its depot at the
north end.
The Ruby Hill, or high line. al
,eady has a roadbed graded into the
aid Richmond smelling plant, but 1t
q rather a long and circuitous route,
and TO get loads on to the high line
rom the Stag dumps would require
considerable grading and a heavy
pull.
There is an ideal grade through
town from the Richmond works to
the depot. and 1t is understood this
route has recently been looked over
with favor.
Just at present the traffic condi-
tons In Eureka are not overly heavy
and q roadway through Buel street
might be temporarily spared, IL Civ
ing the use of this roadway means
the digging out and loading on cars
the 60, 900 tons of Stag and speiss es-
timated to be in the Richmond dump.
To move this immense mass means
the employment and payment OF
much labor. and II Eureka can as
sist in getting this work started the
Sentinel believes it should be done.
For several years past the Rich
mond-Eureka Company has been
making small shipments OF speiss
from the old Eureka Con. dumps ad-
iacent to the railway depot to the
smelters in Utah.
This spefss carries considerable ar
senic, besides metal values of from
Sc to IS per ton. For some time the
price and demand for arsenic has
been increasing and the price now
ranges from 10 to IL cents perpound.
and the Sentinel IL informed there is
from see arsenic values In
the ay- ID of Eureka speiss and
Stag.
Since last June the company has
increased its speiss shipments to from
500 to 1000 tons monthly, and is un-
derstood to have recently been ar
ranging with the local railway for
transportation for some $4,000 tons
during the present year.

With the new semester a course In
Home Economics. or Home Making,
was begun under Federal direction
according to the Smith-Hughes plan.
The National government, recognfz-
ing the value and need OF such class
es, has passed law giving to schools
that will promote such a course at
least one-half the salary of the teach
er in charge Of the classes.
Considerable difficulty was met in
arranging the high school schedule
in order to make It possible for the
girls to take the course. and also q
place where the work would be Civ
en-. The first dificulty was over
come by a group of girls taking typ
ing at 8:15 in the morning, and the
second by Mrs. Hunting agreeing to
teach the girls sfft home, since no
suitable equipment or space was
available at the school house. .
The great practical value of the
work will become more evident as
the class progresses. Miss Campig-
las (the State director of Home Ec-
onomics) outline of the work, as
stated below. gives a good general
idea of the course and more detail
will be given from time to time.
We especially appreciate at the be-
ginning of the work in Home Econ
omics the generous offer made by
Mr.. ]. B. Biale to donate the sup
plies needed by the cooking class for
the first month. II every one could
feel the need of our high school boys
and girls as does our Board of Edu-
cation there would be little doubt
but that the Eureka County High
School would be housed in q modern
building where modern work would
be done. Our Board gives much val
liable time, effort and actual cash
service to the schools Our teachers
recently stated that ney were willing
to give at least 1 MDf their incomes
toward the erection Of modern
building, whether they should be
here another year or not. This Is
not necessarily an Indication that the
Board or faculty Is more generous
than other people, but merely the re-
suit of constant contact with the
needs of the school.
At the time of the erection of the
present building II was undoubtedly
one of the best In the State. To-day
1t ranks with the poorest, although
the enrolment is above the average.
There are six old high school build
ings used in the State and three are
planning to build this year.

VOCATIONAL HOME ECONOMICS

The men of the country have long
been trained for their respective
trades but little has been done to
train women for the vocation that
the large majority of them are en-
gagged in. Ninety per cent of the wo-
men in America are engaged in the

has been made to fit her for her
work.
1t is true that as long ago as 1870
there were a few isolated classes in
sewing or demonstrations of cookery
in the large cities of the East, but
this work did not spread to the West
until much later. In our grandmoth-
ers' day the mother taught the
daughter all she needed to know
about the home and it's activities,
but this condition no longer exists.
Many of the home processes such as
bread making, canning and preserv-
ing, making of clothes, etc., have
been taken over by the factories;
the girl remains in school longer and
spends less time in the home; our
modern life is more complex and as

without the home training that she
used to be given. When she marries
she has rather a large task confront
ing her and she finds herself unpre-
pared to meet the problem---herw work
is therefore hard and unattractive
and she decides that home making is
drudgery. We have expected her to
know how to do things by instinct or
intuition, but we have realized re-
Gently that there 10 better way than
that The schools of the country
have taken the problem into their
hands and most OF them are offering
courses in Vocational Home Econ
omics.
When the schools first approached
this task, they made great many
mistakes. as is done in every new un-
dertaking. 1t was called in the be-
ginning Domestic Science. and the
girls were taught merely how to cook
and sew. The cooking was done in
such small quantities that we often
hear 1t spoken of now as the 'tea-
spoon" variety. The girls made things
at school in such small quantities
that when they attempted to make 1t
at home in family size theresultsw
often failures and the girls became
Then too - at school
she did only one thing at a time
when she was making biscuit she put
all her time and attention upon that. |
while in the home her mother would
probably mix the biscuit quickly and
while they we're baking set the table
or complete some other household
task. The sewing was done so labor-ri
iously and so slowly that the students
had lost all interest In 1t before the
garment was completed. and she real
ly knew very little besides the tech |
