FIRE BUG STARTED
BLAZE OWNER SAYS

The third attempt to fire his prop
erty adjoining the De Luxe Rooming
House in Elko proved unsuccessful,
according to E. P. Porch, owner Of
the premises. The fire department
functioned with the highest degree
Of efficiency, thus saving II disas-
trous blaze. Fire was discovered
almost Immediately after it gained
flight start and an alarm was
turned in to which the department
responded before the first strokes of
tie alarm we conluded. While
n. mbers of TIE department were
D1;ering down a door in order to
gam access to the building. Charles
Stephenson inserted the ...e vi
the chemical hose beneath the door
and the stream played directly upon
the blaze, extinguishing it at once.
Porch states that on two previous
occasions within the last three weeks
blaze was discovered upon the
premises which was distinguished be-
fore it could do any harm. Parties
have broken into the building twice
during that time as well, the owner
asserts. Last nights blaze was the
result Of deliberate attempt at
incendiarism, according to Porch.
A fire was discovered in the yard
Of the building a short time ago.
Recently blaze was started in the
yards Of the Elko Lumber Company
which was extinguished before
damage was done. Porch points to
these happenings in support Of his
theory that there Is a fire bug in
this city who evidently has q grudge
against some persons in that par
ticular neighborhood.
Others familiar with last nights
blaze give some weight to the claim
Of incendiarism and members of
the fire department are decisive in
their statements that owners of
property should take the greatest
precaution against fire hazards

Article Three
By L. A. MeFadden
Many persons no doubt believe
that subjects such as arithmetic
and penmanship possess larger
wage-worth than the ability to use
good language. But modern BUSH
ness methods have SO changed that
today the young man or young
woman who understands the mean
ing of words and the correct use OF
language in such a way as to give
readiness and effectiveness in con-
yersation or in sales talks, goes out
into the world with larger capital
than any dexterity in arithmetic or
penmanship can offer.
The general manager OF a large
store who has employed hundreds
of boys and girls, says: I'VE feel
that the use of clear. concise
English, properly spoken, Is one Of
the greatest qualifications boys and
girls can possess, and contribute
much towards success In whatever
department they may be employed"
In a department store employing
over 5000 employees the man who
employees all this labor says: at has
been my experience in employing
girls and boys between the ages Of
fourteen and eighteen years that
they are rejected on account Of
not being able to use good language,
using slang instead. They are un-
able to read, to write, and to spell
well enough. The first things ! con-
slider are appearance, speech, PEN
manship and spelling. II these
qualifications are lacking, they are
rejected even if l am in need Of
their services"
The use of good English calls for
the use Of:
have seen them, instead Of, I
have saw them.

Jim Parks, an employee of Ernest
Sullivan was bitten by a coyote
last Wednesday, at the Corburn
place, above the Sage Ranch. Mr..
Parks, hearing a commotion in the
chicken coop, went out to ascer-

engaged in a battle with a coyote.
Before he could shoot the coyote
it attacked him, biting him in the
arm. After he had succeeded in
killing the animal, Mr.. Parks made
his way to the Sage Ranch, where
his wound was dressed.
Thursday morning he was brought
to McDermitt by Jim Minor, who
was at the Sage Ranch at the time,
and Ernest Sullivan took him at
once to Winnemucca for further
treatment as it was not known
whether the coyote was rabid or not.
On Mr.. Sullivan's return to Nc

Parks to be getting along fine and
seemingly not suffering any i'll eff
fects.

the work in the near future, which

On Easter Sunday, Mrs. Kelsey

Ralph Montgomery's hall. In spite

Mrs. Kelsey expects to continue the
good work each Sunday during the
season.
