site OF the big dam on Nochaway
creek in Baker county. The work has
been Interrupted several times, but is
going forward rapidly now.

''STRIP TO WAIST" is
ORDER OFFICERS GIVE
IMMIGRANT WOMEN VERY
ROUGHLY TREATED ON
THEIR ARRIVAL HERE.
SHOWED ABOUT LIKE CATTLE
Some of the Women in the Line Cry
And Others Become Hysterical.
Genevieve Forbes Tells of Examina-
ton on the Ships.
By Genevieve Forbes.

CHICAGO.-The wildly emotional
scenes of the Queenstown dock give
place to an equally wild and boisterous
Imerriment as we proceed; this in turn
is supplanted by a fear, timid and in
articulate, which increases as we APP
proach 'the island"
Wild rumorsas are circulating, none
too wild to be given credence by minds
distorted with fear. Flossie, gentle
little Irish girl, worries SO much over
the coming ordeal she becomes tenn
porari1y insane. The news is not re-
assuring.
Ordered to be up by 5 the following
morning, most OF us are up and dress
ed by 3. Two United States army Off
GERS and two women inspectors board
the boat. Some of us have been tipped
off that the examination is more rig
orous for those who come first. Ac-
cordingly, the end of the line is pop
ular.
Down the narrow passage, opposite
the bar, the women are hustled. Some
one suggests that women carrying
children be permitted TO go first, but
the rule is not enforced. Children cry,
women sag with fatigue as they stand
in line, baby in their arms, several
children at their skirts.
Two stewards bring down a search
light from the front OF the ship and
rig it up at the end of the passage, all
the while making insinuating remarks
to a group of frightened girls nearby.
Their work over they act as guards,
getting the women and girls into line.
They pass obscene jests as to the ma
ture of the examination. The older
women are indignant; the younger
girls semi-hysterical.
At last the line moves we turn a
corner, partially screened off.
Strip to the waist, comes the COM
mand.
There are at least forty women in
front of me, and as | have just passed
the corner where the stewards are
standing | decide to wait until | get
nearer the inspectors.
Strip to the waist; no monkey bus
mess. Do as | tell you and do it quick,
dye hear?" yells a foreign looking wo-
man, important in white apron.
Those dumb fools, why don't they
do as we tell emf she shouts across
Ito another Inspector.
Damn you, stand in line; don't you
understand English?" this to a timid
Finish girl in front of me- Frightened,
with no one to interpret for her Hilda
wavers and veers bit from the
straight line.
Damn you, stand straight, and the
inspector shoves her until she stumbles.
Women are biting their lips to keep
from crying; the old woman next to
me is shaking so she can't hold her
clothes in her hand.
Up before the searchlight shoves,
pushes, the nauseating smell OF flesh,
punches, never a word Of explanation
except the rough command.
Inspection over the examiner with
the brutal strength of man. shoves
us, stripped to the waist, out OF her
way on to the open deck, in plain sight
of any male passenger or employe who
chooses to look.

Why Strike Failed.
L. E Sheppard, president OF the
Order OF Railway Conductors, said
that the union had decided to call off
the strike because OF the growing
public opinion that the strike would
be against the labor board, and con-
sequently against the government and
not the railroads.
1T was evident also that the entire
Washington administration was opPoss-
ed to us and that we have had little
chance of gaining our detectives, said
Mr. Sheppard.

KEEP YOUR HEAD,
is ADVICE OF HAYS
SMILE AT THE MAN WITH A
KICK, POSTAL CHIEF TELLS
THE POSTMASTERS.

Postmaster General Hays has franz
ed a new code of action for the win
dow" man in our postoffices in dealing
with people who are complaining about
the delivery OF letters and packages.
+ in meeting the public at the win
dow bear in mind that you are the
pivot or turning point; while the pub
lie is at one end the postmaster or the
department is on the other" he di-
rectS in an order promulgated by As
sistant Postmaster General Work.
Will Always Be Errors.
mo matter how we'll our business
may be conducted there will always be
errors of omission as we'll as errors OF
commission and these errors are prone
to produce a lack OF confidence in the
pOstoffiCe department and work to-
ward the destruction of its efficiency;
hence, you, as the pivot or turning
point must make it your business to
hold this confidence and steady the
efficiency
whether the complaint is due to
the fault OF the office or the patron,
whether it be real or imaginary, you
must meet it. But how?
Here is where your diplomacy must
be brought into play. Be a good lis
tener, do not side with him the first
thing, show him how a dozen things
might have happened but should you
be convinced that you are wrong
climb the barbed wire fence and tell
him how much we regret it, but will
take the matter up and will use every
effort in our power to see that it does
mot happen again.
Keep Cool and Smile.
Should he grow ugly keep cool,
smile (it is worth a hundred Words),
let him rage, he will get over it, then
in a kindly manner, ask him: Just
what do you wish us to do?' This
method will take him off his guard and
he will cool down. but if this last
method fails, tell him in a kindly voice
that you regret that you are unable
to satisfy him; keep your head, think
before you speak, do not say anything
that will continue the argument, play
the gentleman, and above all do not
worry. The barking dog seldom bites,
and if you have done your best to han
die the case you may rest assured that
the postmaster and the department
will back you up, but always keep in
mind that you are the pivot, settle 1t
if you can, remembering at all times
that each end has its rights and it IS
your place to see that each end gets
its just dues.

To Wiping Out Sectionalism.
ATLANTA, Ga.-President Hard,
ing concluded his visit to the south
with a series of speeches in Georgia,
reconsecrating his administration to
the task of finally obliterating section

In two addresses in Atlanta and one
at Columbus the president told crowds

At the statue here OF Henry W..
Grady, Atlantas apostle of national
reconciliation, Mr. Harding broadened
his gospel of understanding and good

Country Club. Applause greeted him
the length of the street parade, along
the route of which thousands crowded
the sidewalks and cross streets despite
a drilling rain which fell part OF the
afternoon.
Congestion Around Monument.
So great was the crowd that jammed
the Grady monument that many could
mot hear and those on the outskirts
made such a disturbance that the pres
Iident twice interrupted his speech to

to tax his voice to make it carry even
to those nearby.

ELKOITES WANT BOND ISSUE
FOR COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION

The Elko county delegation in the
legislature is engaged in preparation
of bill authorizing $4,000 bond
issue to finance county fair associa-
tion. 1t is planned to use the money
in erection of necessary buildings,
construction of a race track, etc. The
site will be free, the city of Elko
agreeing to donate for fair purposes
the eighty acre tract acquired in the
purchase of the water works system.
1t is understood that the bill to be
introduced will provide that in case
OF failure to use the land for the pur-
pose for which it Is donated the
ground will revert to the city of Elko
at the end of five years, and that the
improvements by that time made will
revert to Elko county. At the present
time the city is not In position to
give clear title to the eighty acres Of
land, the deal not having been fully
consummated. Further, it is stated
that there is still talk of litigation to
test the validity of the water works
bond issue because only taxpayers
were allowed to vote ON the question
at the special election held early in
the month.

WOULD REIMBURSE
EXCESS TAXES PAID

The object of Senator Sheehan's
bill providing for reimbursement in
cases in which taxes have been paid
twice, and appropriating $500 for that
purpose refers to the states portion
Of such taxes only. Two instances of
such double-payment and in which
it is now impossible to gain reim-
bursement for the portion gotten by
the state were given by the senator.
In one case it is claimed that 10000
sheep which range In Elko county
part OF the year and In Humboldt
county at other times were fully taxed
in Elko county with the sheep mems
understanding that half of the amount
would be paid in Humboldt county
Subsequently tax on 10000 head Of the
same sheep was collected by the Hum
boldt county authorities. In the other
case band to 1900 sheep was taxed
in Humboldt county. and latter taxes
on half the band were collected in
Pershing county. The counties can
make the necessary correction and
refund their share of the tax SO COL
lected, under the present law, but
state officers are powerless so far as
relief measures are concerned.

CHEMICAL COMPANY
GETS BIG STARTER

Enormous sales Of stock during re-
cent days are reported by the Silver
State Chemical Company of his city.
and these sales have SO encouraged
the board Of directors that anothsr
brief meeting was held at The COM
pany's once last night with view to
Fastening active operations. Bids
for hauling gravel and sand for the
new plant were discussed and the
matter Of purchasing materials for
construction work was taken up. The
new building will be commenced as
soon as weather conditions permit.
Floor plans are being drawn today
and other preparations are going
steadily ahead
More than $500 worth of stock was
sold and reserved yesterday. the COM.
pany reports. and during the three
days previous more than $4,000 worth
of shares were taken. However, this
pace is not expected to last. as the
price of stock Increased twenty-five
per cent today. szssH
Inquiries are being received by the
company regarding stock and from
concerns asking for products to be
turned out, and from these 1t Is gath
cred that ready market Is available.
This afternoon 1t was said that
stock sales for yesterday went beyond
the figure first mentioned, because
of subscriptions received today by
mail. Being postmarked prior to
February these were accepted at the
lower price.
The Silver State Chemical Company
has been q matter for conjecture ON
the part Of many citizens and today
the sentiment is that the concern Is
well on the way to being properly
financed and knockers are wondering
how it was done. even though II the
plant does prove successful it win
mean wonderful things to Winnie
mucca and Nevada mining in general.
Manager Zimmerman Is not q. bit
backward in telling how the company
was put over" Judicioas use OF adj
vertising space and publicity. coupled
with proposition of merit, is about
the gist of HIS reason for success. OF
course his own hard work in prepar-
ing and putting plans In shape had
great force, and the boosting of few
men loyal to Winnemucca and with
faith in the chemical company had
great deal to to do with it, but as
Zimmerman says, 1T PAYS TO AD-
vERTISE when you've got worthy
proposition.
