 When cotton, the principal product of the South, is, for example. shipped to Liverpool and other ! European ed for every mile along the route to the port and overseas.

Man Fined $15 For Violating
 Guarantee

Small pox will not be spread about Fairfield or Bridgeport either if Health Officer Laurence Poole has anything to say about it.
 Yesterday he had Alec Eckman of stratfiefd, arrested, charged with vio- 1ating the quarantine placed on the home for small pox, ailta brought be- Eore the court pr. Poole appeared as witness against the man and said That he had placed a sign on the house forbidding anyone to leave or enter He alleged that Eckman violated the health rules and went about Fairfield and Bridgeport in open defiance of che regulation. In this manner, Dr. Poole told the court. there was danger of spreadig the disease and Eckman made himself a menace ito the public health.
 The court agreed with the health officer and imposed a fine of S15 and costs and sentenced him to 10 days In jail with the jail sentence sus- pended.
 In view of the fact that a. man ex- posed to the small pox appeared in court, the attaches, judge and pros ecutors did not feel 1t necessary to be Sraccinated, however.

 Senators Capper, of Kansas. and EGcNary, of Oregon, are among the eBloc" leaders. who are insisting that freight rates must come down before Ehe agricultural interests can ibe given any permanent relief from the economic distress from which they Are suffering.
 Freight rates are ruining the farm ers. according to Senator LaFollette, hnother Republican member of the &Bfoc." He cited as an example a eecent estimate that the freight rates involved in a farm wagon purchase at Baron. Wisconsin, in 1914 were sdT.46. The Esch-Cumnins law has torced this up to $89.64. he said.
 Representative Moore Of Virginia, had another instance of exorbitant freight rates called to his attention by Q farmer who raises registered Hol- fteins at Orange. Virginia, only about 'T6 miles from the national capital 2ae shipped a, mi1kIfed calf to Wash lngton. It cost him $20 worth of t11flk to raise the calf, for which he twas paid by a commission nerchapt et dthe rate of five cents a pound, or R11.95.

Catholic Women
 Sew For Babes

This >afternoon twenty-five public spirited, big-hearted charitable women, sat in the cheerful sewing room of the Catholic Community house on the corner of Barnun ave- nue and Pembroke street, making dear, tiny garments for new or ex- pected babies, the mothers of whom are either too poor to buy the clothes or too busy or ill to make them. Some of the mothers cannot afford even to buy the cloth for the 1ayettes and so poor little newcomer must take the f'1eft-overs'' or "hand-me downs" The social investigator of the Catholic Charitable bureau find hundreds of such cases and reports them to the secretary, Miss Victoria Larmour, who tries to find a way 10 give the new baby what he is en- titled to, new clothes.
 And that is why these twenty-five splendid women have given up one afternoon a week which might have been spent at the theatre Or at a bridge party. But then it is not all work in the Community house. it Is combination of work and play, for the thought of helping another al- ways makes the job seem lighter

RENO.-"The thing we imprison
men for is the crime of getting
something for nothing" says Chas
Brandon Booth, national superin-
tendent of the Prison Development
League, who spoke before a group
of students at the University of Ne
vada Wednesday.
Mr.. Booth, who represents the
league to which his mother, Maud
Ballington Booth, dedicated her life.
is making flying trip through the
country studying prison conditions
everywhere and beginning work that
he hopes will end in legislation for
prison reform.
The type of reform that Mr..
Booth advocates is a constructive
working out of the problem of the
man behind the walls. 1--WE punish
our criminals for the crime of get
ting something for nothing by SEN
fencing him to a life in which he
becomes an expert in the very thing
he is sent to prison for. He is given
life of idleness. The lesson should
be that the criminal find he can't
get something for nothing. How
can 100000 men in state prisons,
OF whom only 1000 are even self.
supporting, learn the lesson when
they are given either nothing to do,
as in Nevada, or are placed in
non-constructive trade, or are given
trade that will be utterly useless
to them when they get out?"
There is need" added Mr.. Booth
for shops in prisons in which men
may earn their living in prison.
More than 100000, 1000 is being
spent in the United States on prison
problems, yet the government is do
ing less to get rid of the problem
than anything else. There is no
chance for the prisoner to make
reparation for his crime. The Cd
portunity should be given him to
have the responsibility of his family
while in prison. The crime of the
prisons is the crime of idleness."

RECORD MADE IN
REBUILDING MILL

A most wonderful record was
made when at 3 o'clock last Satur-
day afternoon, exactly sixty-eight
days and twenty-one hours from the
time the Nevada Con. concentration
at McGill took fire, operations were
resumed at the plant with two ball
mills working on ore. The Nevada
Con. concentration caught fire at
3 o'clock on the afternoon of July
9Th and in two hours the whole i'm
mense structure, covering several
acres OF ground and representing
an investment running into the mil
lions, was mass of smoking ruins.
The work of clearing the ground in
preparation for rebuilding was
started just as soon as the twnsted
masses of iron and steel were cool
enough to handle and has been
pushed day and night ever since.
The building material and mach
merry were wired for at once and
the work of constructing one unit
OF the new mill was pushed with
all possible speed, and so GUS
cessful were the efforts Of the Ne
vada Con. forces that in less than
ten weeks from the time the fire
started it was possible to resume
operations.
Ore is now being handled by the
mill at the rate of about 500 tons
day and it is hoped to increase
this soon to 1000 tons a day. In
The meantime the management is
praying for the continuance of
good weather, as the new building,
while it has a roof is still con-
'picuously lacking in the way of
and doors and other i'm
,ortant parts.
After the fire it was discovered
hat much of the heavier machinery
II the mill had not been seriously
lamaged, and this helped greatly
n fastening the time for the re-
umption of operations. It is be-
leved, however, that the Nevada
ION. has beaten all records for
peed in restoring activity an in
ustrial enterprise of this magni-
ude after such a disaster.-Ely

.ELKO MEN IN TOLLS
!. OF OUR UNCLE SAM
Trio of Elko's Most Prominent Citi.
zens Are Entertaining Their
Followmen In A Contest
With Federal Officers

The hearing of Jack Greiser
Harry Keyser, and A. w. Hesson
who had the misfortune to go away
and leave a camp fire burning or
the U. S. forest reserve last Sun
day is set for this afternoon
1t will be conducted before United
States commissioner w. w. Booher
in the district court rooms, and il
is expected that a good sized audi
ence will be present to witness the
discontinue of three of Elko's
most prominent citizens.
The men disclaim all knowledge
of leaving the campfire burning
stating that they carried many buck
cts of water from nearby stream,
totally extinguishing the fire, and
that undoubtedly someone else came
along after they had departed and
started new fire. They will plead
not guilty to the charge placed
against them by forest ranger John
W. Mink.
However, ranger Mink states that
he is absolutely sure that it was the
Elko trio who abandonded the fire,
as he passed their camp about
eleven o'clock and noticed them all
gathered around the large bonfire.
When he returned he again passed
the camp this time at one-thirty.
The party claim that they
broke camp at one o'clock which
scarcely gives time for another
party to come in and kindle a new
fire, cook his lunch and then de-
part.
Mink also stated that there were
evidences of some water being
poured on the fire, but not enough
by far, to extinguish the blaze
which was quite good sized one.
c. Favre, forest official of the
Elko office said yesterday morning
hat it is not within the power of
Commissioner Booher to set any fine
for the offense, but should the evil
fence be conclusive, he will bind |
hem over to appear before the next
session of the federal court at
Carson City.
U. s. Attorney French arrived
his morning from Ogden, and i'm
nediately took charge of the case.
