DIR. William b. Shore was arrested
and fined at Tonopah the other day
on the charge OF resisting an officer,
but the real offense is said to have
been boctlegging, though the officer
fell down through a peculiar circum-
stance when it came to landing the
evidence. The doctor. who formerly
was located at Elko, Fallon and

tised extensively as a physician, but

MG|LL SCHOOL TRAIN
TO CONTINUE FOR YEAR

Several of the large property own
crs of the county having agreed to
not oppose the hiring of school trains
for transporting McGill pupils to the
White Pine county high school to
and from their home town daily, the
county school board has determined
TO continue the use of the trains.
The last one consulted was c. B.
Lakenan, general manager of the Ne
vada Consolidated Copper Company,
and previous to this others spoken to
upon the subject were Arthur Smith
and the late w. n. McGill a short
time before his final illness. In the
Ease of Mr.. Lakenan it may appear
like paying the money from n
pocket to another, the question being
If these heavy taxpayers would OBJ
iect to the higher cost of the trains
over the school bus, but the COM
pany's general policy is claimed to be
against higher taxes in most in
stances. wen though it may in part
be the beneficiary. At any rate AL of
them favored continued use of the
trains and 1t has been SO ordered by
the board.
The per capita cost with the bus
was Sc a month, but with the train
it will be $40. or possibly a fraction
under that sum. This means a diff
ference of $4,000 a year.
Since the board has been paying
county pupils outside of Ely. Mc1ill
and Ruth Sc a month in cash to go
toward their expenses while living
in Ely, this applying mostly to those
from Lund and Preston. their allow
ance will be raised to $40, or what
yer the per capita figures OUT VIXEN
it is gone over.
At the same time news comes from
McGill to District Superintendent c.
W. Smith that the McGill board has
given up the idea of erecting a
junior high school at that place. This
decision came through strong objec-
ton to 1t being made by Mr.. Lake
nan. who expressed a desire to pat
ronize the county high school and in
cidentaliy let Ely be benefited
thereby.

GOOD BUSINESS BUT
POOR PLACE TO WORK

After an extensive trip through
southern Nevada and Arizona +. L.
Lewis and +. L. Knox are back III
Ely and have a variety of impressions
of the country that they saw. Look
ing at 1t from a business man
standpoint, Mr.. Lewis gained a fairly
good impression, but talking work
and wages everywhere that they Wis.
tied Mr.. Knox came in with a minor.
ity report, and at that both think Ely
is a pretty good place after all.
They found business best at the
border, they having stopped some
time at Nogales and visited with Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Narcotic, formerly
of Ely, the latter being a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan c. Mcdonald.
The Narcotics have a hotel there and
are doing fine. They told their guests
that it was the importing business
that stimulated activities at Nogales,
not meaning illicit importing more
than the legitimate, though both are
flourishing.
Mr.. Lewis says the line is marked
merely by two little station houses a
few yards apart in the town, one
American and the other Mexican, and
that on both sides are soldiers on
guard of two nations. But the pc.
destrians may go and come freely
and are not searched. 1t would be
easy, he says. to get by with ones
pockets laden with bottles. but they
did not see any of it done.
Every store had Mexican employees,
i'm part, to wait upon the people OF
their nationality and to hold their
trade. Mexicans are spenders and
their trade means everything to peo-
pie in business where they live. But
where Mexican labor is employed an
American stands no show, and they
not only are used as common abor-
ers but many of them are skilled
mechanics in every branch. As COM
mon laborers they are lazy and
worthless, with occasional exceptions.
Foreigners galore, including Japa-
nese, Chinese and every banned ma
tionality, are smuggled across the
border in droves and can come and
go at will.
Phoenix they found a reasonable
place to live and to stop when trav-
cling through. The town of Mesa.
in the cotton belt, was lively. Prices
were high at Needles, but the high
-
priced place of their trip was Las
Vegas. There rents are out OF sight
and nothing with a makeshift roof
over 1t may be had for less than $50
and more often S25 up. The pros
pectiye boom over the Boulder can
yon dam is the assigned cause.
They went from here by way OF
Pahranagat valley and south to Corn
creek. where they came to the old
grade of the Las Vegas & Tonopah
railway, which has been abandoned
BY the railway company. From
thence they proceeded through Vegas
10 Searehlight, Needles. Parker.
Phoenix, Globe and Nogales. They
made a slightly different circuit on
the way back. In Nevada they had
a desire 10 see the famed cantaloupe
country at Moapa, but reaching there
they learned that the town was not
what they expected and the real can
taIoupe country would have involved
a trip on TO st. Thomas, which they
did not make.
