ENGLISH YOUTH LIES
BETWEEN RAILS WHILE
TRAIN RUNS OVER HIM

ALDERSHOT, England.-"Ben-
ny" Norris is in the envy of every
kid" in England.
Benny" has pulled a stunt that
makes the movies" look pretty
tame.
Someone dared him to let train
run over him. That was all Benny
needed. He climbed an embank.
ment, laid between the rails, ano
the train came chugging along
The engineer saw Benny" and at
tempted to stop the train but
couldn't make the brakes worl
fast enough. When the trair
finally stopped the engineer saw
Benny" tearing down the tracks ;
mile a minute, yowling his lung,
out. Scalding hot water from the
engine dropped on "Benny's" fac.
and neck.

.CHAUTAUQUA FOR
ELk0 NEXT YEAR

Although Elko will again enjoy
the diversified musical, lectural and
dramatic programs of the Ellison
White Chautauqua service during
the next season, the familiar big
tent will not be raised. it was stated
by George J. Fox, president of the
Elko Chatauqua Association. The
programs will in all likelihood be
given in the Grammar school audi
forum or other suitable indoor
place when the time arrives.
The change in the method of
handling the Chautauqua service
was occassioned by the failure of
other Nevada towns to sign up for
the return of the Circuit this year,
necessitating the cutting of the pro-
grams from six to five days in dura-
ton.
Booking of the Ellison-White at
fractions will be made for the
early spring or fall rather than
during the summer months as has
heretofore been the case.-Elko
Independent.

ESSEX CAR GOES
OVER 70 FOOT
EMbANKMENT

Mrs. H. C. Oliver and Mrs. Cor
don Gaines met with what might
have resulted in very serious ac-
cident last Thursday afternoon
when they were returning from
Ely to Ruth. An Essex touring
car which was being driven by Mrs.
Oliver went over 20-foot embank-
ment about a mile up Robinson
canyon taking Mrs. Oliver with it.
Mrs. Gaines having jumped out
with her baby before it capsized.
The accident is supposed to have
occurred when Mrs. Oliver tried to
shift to a lower gear. The sup
position is that she failed to get it
into gear and that the car backed
down into the ditch. It is likely
that the brakes were not working
well.
Mrs. Oliver was badly bruised but
not seriously injured, while Mrs.
Gaines and her baby were not
hurt.-Ely Times.

SERVICE CREED FOR
POSTAL DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON.-A "creed' for
the postal service is the newest
thing among postmen and will be
suggested to the welfare councils
established in every first and Sec
ond class postoffice in the country.
As written and adopted by the
Washington welfare council, the
creed reads like this:
Messenger of sympathy and love,
Servant of parted friends,
CONSIDER of the lonely,
Bond of the scattered family,
Enlarger of the common life,
Carrier of news and knowledge
Instrument of trade and industry
Promoter of mutual acquaint-
ance,
Of peace and good will
Among nations.
The creed has been posted about
the Washington office and soon
if taken up by the other councils
it is said, will appear in all other
offices of the system.

SCHOOL RESUMES
AFTER 20 YEARS

LOVELOCK.-School will begin
September 5 at the Anker school
house in the lower Lovelock valley
after nearly twenty years. Miss
Elizabeth Groth, of Fallon, will be
the teacher. The Anker school
district is located five miles south
of town and was formerly known
at the Marker district school. II
was abandoned years ago on ac-
count of the lack of pupils.
Recently on the invitation OF
Phillip Anker, a new district was
organized. He and Frank Fuss
were appointed trustees.
Steps have been taken this week
for the remolding of the building
new porch has been erected, win.
dows put in, doors re-hung and a
chimney rebuilt. TIE district ha.
seven pupils-all boys.
The building has been used fol
many years for private dancing
parties by both town folks and the
neighbors.

NYE To COMPLAIN
ON SHEEP TAXES

TONOPAH.-Charges that asses
sors of Elko and Eureka counties
have connived with sheepmen of
those counties in ranging their fiocks
in Nye county, to pay the tax on the
sheep in their home counties, will
be aired at the meeting of the
state board of equalization, officials
here state.
One case is mentioned where it
is said by Nye county officials that
a sheep owner drove 5000 sheep
into Nye county last November
and ranged his sheep in this county
until late in March. On the first
of January when approached for
the payment he produced receipt
issued from Elko county, officials
state, and they assert that the prac-
tice has been so systematized that
outside counties now mail receipts
to their own citizens who are feed
ing sheep in Nye county. The tax
rate is lower in Elko and Eureka
counties than in Nye county.
An effort will be made by Nye
county officials to have the as
sessed valuation of Tonopah prop
erty lowered.

RUSSIA IN POSITION

Observation-Disclosures 1922
crop of bread grains, estimated to
be at least 100000 tons more
than the production of the famine
year 1921, the department of agri-
culture says will put the country
in position to feed herself. In
addition, it will furnish seed grain
to increase the sown area even
further during 1922.
The departments estimates were
based on conditions in the growing
area as of June. The American
Relief Administration has made
similar calculations and has an
nounced its expectation that con-
tinuation of famine relief will prob.
ably be unnecessary after the new
crop comes to hand.

n. c. D. RAILWAY TO
GET LARGER SHARE

WASHINGTON.-The Nevada
California Oregon railroad was
authorized by the interstate COM
merce commission today to take an
additional 10 per cent proportion
of the joint rates which it collected
on traffic shared with the Southern
Pacific system. The necessity OF
maintaining the Nevada line as a
feeder to the larger system, the
commission said, required that the
proportion be increased.

ALGIERS ROWDIES.

1t certainly is regrettable that all
the young rOwdies in Algiers should
assemble every evening in front OF
the Folly Theatre where they insult
women and young girls as they go to
and from this play house. We do not
know of a better place in the city
where the 'move-on' ordinance should
be put in force and strictly kept in
force for the benefit of decent people
who patroniZe this theatre. The Of
ficer in charge of this beat has done
excellent work. but these rowdies
know, that during roll call and at
other times when the officer is at
other places on his beat. they have
things their own way and find a great
deal of pleasure in causing as much
disturbance as possible. There is but
one way to break up this circle of low
brows and that is by making arrests
and an example of some of them to
the public.
