THE ELKSBUlLDING
....' UNDERG0E REPAIRS

The carpenters, painters and
plumbers have recently completed
extensive improvements on the Elks
building having installed new toilet
facilities on the ground floor, re-
placed some of the plastering with
woodwork, changed the top windows
n the part occupied by the Elko
Hat shop, with new castings and
plain glass in place of the former
prism glass and painted the entire
building including the roof.
Many of the repairs were neces-
stated by the Elko Hat Shop ad-
ling a new department to their NIL
.inery line. They will now handle
4 complete stock of ladies silk hos
iery and silk underwear and have
new shelving cases installed, that
will allow showing these garments
to best advantage. The shop has also
been newly redecorated and the
woodwork and fixtures have been
renewed with varnish and the shop
presents a pleasing appearance for
their fall opening.

Washington, Aug. 22-Railroad
executives must accept defeat on the
seniority issue if the walk out OF
shop workers is to be settled, one
of the leading labor figures in the
strike told the United Press today.
Unless the arrangements are pre-
pared to concede to the shopmen's de-
mand for restoration of seniority
rights the special conference of
brotherhood leaders and railroad ex-
ecutives in New York tomorrow will
be futile, he said.
This determined stand on the part
of the strikers, the demand of the
railroad executives for a. fight to
the finish and the call issued by the
A. F. of L. for financial and moral
support Of the shopmen by all or.
ganized labor have caused admins
tration leaders to lose the hope they
had for an early settlement of the
dispute.
All plans for settlement of the
strike at the New York conference
of the Big Four brotherhoods were
signed by the former, the strike lead
err declared. The leaders of the shop
men and brotherhood chiefs remain
steadfast on the demand for un-
impaired seniority rights throughout
all the secret sessions and are pre-
pared to fight it out along that line
indefinitely,

Fresh obstacles in the rail and

ton of work. ..
Eastern rail executives announced
themselves as opposed to settlement
of the shop crafts strike on any
basis that would restore to the men
their seniority rights. This is under

the Big Four, submitted for the
consideration of 148 railroad presi-

defeat on this issue, a leading labor
man declared in Washington.
Anthracite miners representatives
in conference with operators at
Philadelphia to end the long hard
coal walk out, have crashed among
themselves with Chris Golden, dis
trict leader threatening to stampede.
John L. Lewis, president of the

full today of settlement although he
delivered a strong ultimatum to the
owners regarding the terms of
agreement.

GAS ENGINE BRINGS
INDUSTRIAL CHANGE
Development Of Combustion
Motor Works Revolution
in Oil Industry

A complete economic change has
taken place in the petroleum indus
try in the years Intervening between
1906 and 1922, according to a
statement made by R. l.. WEIGH,
Secretary of the American Petrol
cum Institute, before the senate
Committee on Manufactures, which
is conducting an inquiry into the oil
situation. .,.4--.
Next to the remarkable growth Of
the industry itself during that period
from a gasoline production OF
about 100000 barrels in 1906 to
an indicated production of 100000
600 barrels this Near-the most
note worthy feature has been the
astonishing spread of the independ-
ent interests.
For example, in 1906, the indie
pendent refining capacity was only
about 10 per cent of the total; at
present it is about SO per cent in
the United States alone and &c per
cent in this country and Mexico
combined.
"The key to this profound
change" Mr.. WEIGH told the COM
mittee, "is the development OF the
internal combustion engine"

GLASS DRAFT BOWI IN
INDEPENDENCE HALL
This Container Was Used to
Select First Drafted Men
of World War

Philadelphia, August % Omitted
press).-Have you ever wondered
what became of the draft bowl-the
cylindrical, glass container which
five years ago helped send the first
and last of the National Army troop
% the colors in the war against
Germany?
Well, the bowl is now in it's perm
anent home in old Independence Hall
here, hobnobbing with the Liberty
bell, Washington's writing table
and other; relics famous in American
history. Quite lofty station for
an ordinary bowl, originally made
md intended to serve as home for
title goldfishes in somebody's front
oarlor.
The career of the worlds most
famous fishbowl was shaped by the
ourest accident. Former Captain
Charles r. Norris of Elizabeth, N.
J., devised the drawing method of
selecting men for the draft. To
demonstrate his plan to government
officials he had to get bowl. He
went downtown in Washington, went
nto the first store that he came to
hat sold bowls, and picked out the
first one he saw of the right size.
He paid for the bowl out of his
own pocket and it set him back $40.
He wanted to own it himself, SO he
could take it home with him after
he war.
Morris experiment looked good to
The officials in charge of the draft
and so the fish bowl became the re-
.eptacle from which were drawn
No. 258 and the subsequent key nu-
merals which sent our citizen SOL
liery on its way to war.
The draft bowl occupies a real
place of honor in Independence Hall
sitting on a writing table once used
by George Washington and only a
dozen steps or so away from the
Hall principal treasure, the Liberty
Bell
Captain Morris is now back in
civilian life, working for the Stand

The crop of 1921 was marketed

The park at Diamond Point bid

J The park at Diamond Point bids
fair to become a geological garden
of more than state Importance, in the
near future, if the park board can
see its way to accept the offer Of
Game Warden John Cline, to pro-
vide many more animals than are
already making their abode at this
popular resort. ~
Mr.. Cline stated that he could get
two fine black bears that are now
seven months old, a pair of healthy
brush wolves, and a pair Of elk if
the park board can provide the prop
fer food and housing for them for
the winter as well as the summer.
Geo. T.. Baker, superintendent of
the park board expects to leave this
week for Funkley, MINI. where there
is doe waiting to be brought to
the local park and which will pro-
vide mate for the lonely buck now
here.
The two young moose lately &C.
quired by the park board are thriv-
ing and receiving good attention
from Mr.. Frank Patterson, who is
the park policeman. The young bull
moose is fed milk four times a day
and the COW moose is also well TAX
en- care of but there are certain other
foods that they require; such as
:kinicknick brouse, bass wood brouse
poplar brouse 81 clover, all of which
may be provided by motorists, or
others when they are on a juant
in the woods nearby, if they will
gather some of these leaves and
twigs they may be left outside the
fence near the animals home in the
park. This will be distributed in the
right proportions by. Mr.. Patterson.
The animals can not get out to
hunt the food that they require for
proper nuorishment and must de-
pend upon their friends to provide
for them, if they are to live and
grow healthy in this park.
Bemidji can boast Of having the
only NOSE in captivity in Minnesota

effort should be made to keep them
as they will more than earn their
keep by the advertising they will
give this section through the Tourists
who visit Diamond Point Park every

to give the animals proper room in

board accepts Mr.. Cline's offer to

will have to be provided to look after
them in the winter as we'll as in the
summer.

and women of the community today
are honoring Father Jerome, whose
fiftieth anniversary of ordination to
the Catholic priesthood marks the
fortieth year of his work among the
Sioux Indians on the Fort Totten
reservation.

the state, and the community en-
mass are gathered today at St.
Michael's mission at the Narrows,
seven miles south of here, to assist
in the celebration and make public
recognition Of the work of the aged
missionary among the red men.
Coming to the wilderness while the
tribe, known as the Cutyhead Sioux,
were yet rebelling against the white
mans rule, Father Jerome won their
confidence by adopting as far as pos
sible their modes of living, and he
has administered to three genera
tions Of the Indians, caring for their
material and mental as we'll as spirit
ual needs. -...
Among his accomplishments has
been the erection of two missions,
one at the Fort and the other at the
Narrows. At the latter place school
