MAY BE SUCKER INSTEAD
OF RAILWAY POSTAL CLERK

The United States civil service
commission announced recently that
there have been brought to its at
tention numerous misleading adver-
Using circulars and newspaper adj
vertisments of certain so-called civil
service schools, says a Washington
dispatch.
In these circulars and advertis-
ments, information is given that
railway postal examination is soon
to be held. The commission states
that no such examination has been
announced and that it is not known
at this time when it will be neces-
sary to hold an examination of the
kind. When one is to be held it
will be duly announced.
Many of these so-called civil SER
vice schools, said the commission,
recruit a considerable part of their
clientele among young people of
limited education in rural commune
ties who fall easy victims to allur-
ing statements regarding railway
postal clerks and other positions in
the government service and ex-
travagant claims as to the advan-
tages of training with the so-called
schools.
The commission points out that
definite and authentic information
regarding pending examinations may
always be obtained from any of its
local representatives or by writing
direct to the office of the commits
sion at Washington, d. C. The
commission has representative at
the postoffice or customhouse in
each of approximately $500 cities
throughout the country.

PARADISE VALLEY LADIES
HAVE THE BEST RECORD

Probably the ladies of Paradise
Valley have the best record of at
tendance of any group of Pershing
or Humboldt counties, for they have
held regular meetings every week
during a busy summer, says writer
in the Nevada Farmer. However,
with winter, and bad roads ap-
preaching, there has been a good
bit of discussion as to the ad-
visibility of changing the plan to
meetings twice a month. This
change was brought up at the last
meeting, at the home of Mrs. Virgil
Pasquale, and was considered favor
ably. Another topic of discussion
was whether the meeting should be
devoted to work, or to forgetting
about the work of the rest of the
week. 1t was finally decided to
bring some regular work, as the
members could enjoy a good time,
and yet accomplish something, too.
One of the meetings will probably
be devoted to just a social good
time.
In spite of the cold north
wind, the members from Orovada
came to the Ell Dorado school house
on the regular meeting day. So
far, the plans have been to alter
nate the nutrition and poultry
work, but at this meeting the men,
bers planned to finish up the poul-
try project, as there seems to be
favorable conditions for successful
poultry raising in that community,
md after that is pretty well under
way, to take nutrition up regularly.
Eleven ladies from McDermitt
came to the first regular clothing
meeting meeting, held at the home
of Mrs. G. C. Crawford. Mrs. C. L.
Hewitt was elected chairman, and
the meetings will be held at the
homes of the members, running in
order. Extension work
is new in McDermitt, but if the in
terest continues, it promises to be
one of the best groups in the
county.

SC0TTY TO HEAD
SCHOOL FOR BOYS

Death Valley Scotty promises to
become the head of a boys home
and asylum for city waits ac-
cording to reports from Death
Valley. Instead of posing as a dime
novel and movie picture hero the
notorious character will be placed
at the head of a novel juvenile
training school backed by the for
tune of his mysterious benefactor.
This individual is Albert M. John
son of Chicago, president of the
National Life Insurance company of
the United States of America, who
owns the oasis which Scotty calls
home.
The place is remote from all
sources of contamination and vic
ious-associates situated in a valley
where milk and honey literally
flows and where figs, pomegranates
and other tropical fruits may be
had for the plucking. This is the
only inference CLEANED from orders
for the delivery of two carloads
of lumber, several carloads of ce-
ment and other shipments of build
ing material. Half a carload of
two-inch iron pipe has arrived at
Bonnie Clarie, the nearest railroad
station on the line of the Tonopah
& Tidewater railroad.
Mr.. johnson is known to be one
of the financial hackers of a school
for boys located at Deep Springs in
Inyo county on the way to Bishop
on the Midland trail. This institu-
ton, maintained by the generosity
of L. L. Mum, the famous electrical
engineer, formerly of Telluride,
Colorado, is said to have furnished
the idea which Mr.. Johnson pro-
poses to adopt for utilizing the Sc
questered nook that has been held
sacred to the wants of Scotty.
The home is not to be any part of
penal or corrective system, but a
place where ambitious lads may
qualify for the professions or arts
by hard study free from the worry
and excitement of the great outer
world. According to estimates fur
nished the railroad for the material
to be transported, the investment of
the Chicago philanthropist will not
fall short of $4,000.

FIGHT WITH RABID
COYOTE IN CABIN

How would you like to have the
thrilling experience of fight with
rabid coyote in the dark and in
mall room? That's what. Messrs.
Nicholas and Navel, two miners
who recently arrived here from
Bishop, California, experienced.
They are working on the Lorena
property, east of the Garfield mine.
But, until the road is repaired to
the mine they are making camp at
the Olga mine nearby. Going to
bed they left the cabin door open
to get fresh air. Some time during
the night Mr.. Nichols was awakened
by something pulling and tearing
at the bed-clothes and pillow and
upon opening his eyes he found
himself facing rabid coyote. Grab
bing heavy tarpaulin lying across
the bed, which he managed to keep
between himself and the maddened
BEAST, the battle in the dark and in
the narrow confines of the cabin
began in earnest. The coyote pulled
l blanket off the bed and tore
nadly about the room. In the mean
time Mr.. Maxwell securead a small
electric torch but tn ebattery be-
ng weak the light was dim and
afforded but little aid. Dropping
he blanket the coyote directed his
lttack to Maxwell, who very
promptly showed a shoe box into the
animals mouth which undoubtedly
iaved both men from being bitten.
As the coyote returned to the at
Jack Mr.. Nichols caught a swing
with heavy chair which, while it
splintered the chair into pieces, laid
The coyote out for the count long
enough for Maxwell to plant three
shots from a 45-calibre revolver
INTO its body. The animal was one
Of the largest ever seen in this
section. 1t is almost a miracle
that both men escaped uninjured.
fhe gentlemen both state that here
ifter they will sleep with their
doors closed and trust to the cracks
in the building to furnish the neces-
sary ventilation.

A vote was recently taken on the

Kid Themselves

1t isn't often that one sees in a
country weekly an editorial of any
ength that is worth the time re-
CURED to read it, say naught of
spending money to again place it
in type and reproduce it, but here
follows one from the columns of
the Las Vegas Review that is so
chock full of good common sense
that the editor Of The Silver State
would feel remiss in his duty and
totally lacking in observance of
his Interpretation of his obligations
to the readers of this paper, should
he fail of re-printing it. 1t is the
talk of a former shopman-keep
hat thought uppermost in your

Under the caption, "The Shop

Jays:
Where are the boys who went out
on July 1? Some are here in Las
Vegas, still loyal to the cause for
which they went out; others have
left and entered other pursuits, while
others have returned to work at
Las Vegas and other points The
editor is one of the men who lost
out last July, and we have entered
another pursuit. We hold no ami
mostly against the officials who set
Us adrift, as they were doing as
their duty called upon them to do,
and they felt they could get along
without our services. That is all
past, and there is no use crying
over spilled milk. 1t is always best
to be a good loser, and we take
that stand; but what about the boys
who are still out, hoping against
hope that settlement will come?
Long ago we abandoned that hope.
We were for while hopeful, but
when the men themselves COM
menced losing faith and returning
to work it was very plain that the
cause was pretty wobbly, if not en-
tirely wrecked. The heads of the
strikers sent forth the cry that
none would go back if all did not
go back. 1t would be all or none.
But did they live up to the promise?
No; they certainly did not, and it
looks. like they did not intend to,
as almost Immediately they COM
menced making separate settlements,
but that is as far. as they got, as
far as anyone knows. The boys
who were not on the roads that set

now the limb is getting bare. The
all or none has been a bubble. We
now think, and many Of the boys
will agree with us, that the strike
should be called off, as it has been
on for five months, but there is no
doubt in the world but what the in
evitable has happened-the boys
cannot win. The roads have not
signed, will not sign, no matter
what the union leaders might be
sending out to their respective
lodges. 1t is not fair to the rank

keep them in this condition of
doubt. They cannot live without
