DOYLE'S SPIRITISM
LAID TO ILLUSIONS
Prof. JastrOw of University of
Wisconsin Says Deduction
Isn't Induction.
FACTS ARE TREACHEROUS
'Ectoplam,' Emanations From
Body of Spirit, Gets In
structOr's ScOrn.

Prof. Joseph Jastrow, who holds the
chair of psychology in the University Of
Wisconsin. delivered lecture on the
history Of modern spiritism last night
in the Brooklyn Academy of Music in
which he declared that in the case of
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his belief
in the existence OF spirits I'VE are deal
ing. with mind which has lost its hold
on reality"
"He achieved distinction in the writ
ing of detective stories." said Prof. Jas
trow, where one begins at the end and
works backward. But there is a great
difference between deduction and induc-
tion, as used in real science When
man attempts to prove the existence OF
fairies by the use of pictures which have
so evidently been cut out of news
paper that one can see the edge OF the
cut. and accepts several hundred pounds
for the article one cannot hold mucn
scientific respect for his work.
1.-THE case of Sir Oliver Lodge. how
ever, is different. He Is the one eminent
scientist, the exception, who seems to
have this one queerness in his logic.
Every one still respects his intellect"
Prof Jastrow traced the history of
the modern spiritism movement from
the Fox sisters in 1910 to the investiga-
tors of the present day, and summarized
the evidence obtained. which he declared
was unconvincing. He was especially
ironic in his treatment of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's "ectoplasm," or spirit
stuff. supposed to issue from the body
of the medium to form the spirit, or
control.
"You cannot deny facts said Prof.
Jastrow, "but facts are the most treach-
erous things in the world. 1t Is not the
facts that produce the beliefs, but the
beliefs that produce the facts. The facts
In the proof of withcraft were over

SCOTT TAKES UP MARKET PLAN
FOR COUNTRY PRODUCE

Professor V. r Scott. dairy spe-
cialist from the University of Nevada,
was in Ely Tuesday night enroute to
Preston and Lund, where he goes to
confer with ranchers with a view TO
developing the dairy interests of this
county. While here Professor Scott
attended meeting OF ranchers and
business nlen called by President J.
Ii Gallagher of the county farm hui
reau for a consideration of the same
subject
The meeting was held in the city
hall and was well attended, eonsid-
cTing the arrangements were CON-
pleted upon short notice.
The principal object of the meet
ing was to consider ways and means
whereby the ranchers and local bust
hess men may systematic their busi-
ness dealings to mutual advantage. or
in other words. cooperate in the rails
ing and disposal of dairy products.
At the present time IL is said there
is surplus of hay and the farm bu.

ucts. such as cream. butter and
cheese.
Local dealers have signified their
willingness to buy these products
from the local ranchers, thus creating
market and also stimulating the
trade-at-home policy. Il is argued
that what helps the rancher also
helps the local merchant. and vice
versa. And likewise the public II

Heretofore there has been no sys-

lines. and as means to develop the
enterprise IL is purposed to have the

Ely on regular selected days. so that
the supply may be counted on and
the business of buying and selling
conducted in a systematic manner.
The meeting was practically unani-
nous in it's action and views and fur

STATE DAIRY SPECIALIST TO
EXPLAIN MAKING OF BUTTER

Professor Y. f. Scott, dairy spe-
cialist at the University of Nevada,
was in Ely this week enroute to Pres
ton and Lund. where. beginning May
is, he will give a three-days' demon
stration on the different ways of
making butter. cottage cheese and
other dairy products. Mr.. Scott will
also give information regarding the
rrices of butter fat. the cost of ship
ting and the approximate amount
of butter fat which can be derived by
feeding a ton of hay to the average
dairy COW He will also be able 10
inform ranchers as to the approx
nate cost Of good dairy cows.
The department of agriculture and
home economics at the state uniyer-
sity takes the view that dairying Is
coming back to Nevada and is des.
tined to be one of the states promi-
nent industries in the future. Par
ticularly at the present time. when
ligh freight rates are a handicap u
the shipping of hay and cattle on the
hoof. the raising OF dairy products
can be accomplished to the benefit OF
10th the raneher and the local buyer.
A ton of hay may be marketed
through a dairy COW and the value OF
White Pine news. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1920-1923, 1921-05-19

about $40 to s12 received for the
product. The matter OF shipping
about twenty-five or thirty pounds of
butter instead of one ton of hay is
considered a strong argument for
dairy cattle in Nevada while the
freight rates remain high.
NJ. ID. Collins. state club leader,
has Just visited several stoekmen in
the northeastern part of the state
with a view to getting information
as to what they can afford to pay for
hay the coming fall. As the result
of the inquiries he has found that
the stockmen say they can pay from
Sc to IS per ton at the present prices
for cattle. AT these prices Ii Is con-
tended there will be more money in
feeding good dary cattle for their
products.
In talking with several dealers in
Ely says Mr.. Collins. Il find that
approximately ZOO worth of but
ter Is imported into Ely from Utah
and other western ereameries which
could more easily be made aud ship
ped to Ely from Preston and Lund.
The meetings at Preston and Lund
were arranged by ]. III. Gallagher,
president OF the county farm bureau,
and G.. l.. Chism. county agent.
