EASTERN BUSINESS
ON THE BOOM
F. M. Lee, the well known banker
who lius just returned to his home On
Keno from a three weeks' trip to Hos
Ion and other Eastern cities had tlie
following to say in an interview pub
lished in the CSazette:
"I was delighted lo make the trip
East and see at first hand what 1
have been reading in the papers about
the big war business t li.it is being Tar
ried on in the Eastern cities and (he
reported wave of prosperity -that has
struck this country.
"It was amazing to note the changes
in business since February, when 0
was there before. The war orders
were just appearing, and now the
scene has changed lo \sonderful activ
ity in both manufacturing war sup
plies and munitions and also along
constructive lines.
'It is truly the time of doing big
things throughout the OCast, financially
and industrially, and there is such an
elated feeling of optimism that some
of the large banking interests are try
ing lo force the handling of bill of
lading drafts in terms ol American
dollars as the standard of value in
stead of the time-honored pound ster
ling.
"The floating of the astonishingly
large credit war loan was the accotn
. plishment of the greatest undertaking ' 1
in that line, and till.* financing by our'
country Is now being followed by in- '
vesting In our phenomenally largo I
bond issues put out by Germany, Rus- !
sia, and the latest by London, all at j
attractive rales, and all establishing a i
new era showing the ability of this '
country io establish itself as the finan
cial power of tho world.
"The successful organization led by .
Mr. Vanderlip and other associates in j
the National City Hank, of the $50,-'
t'UO.OOO capitalized company with the
object of paving the way to open the j
cbn'nnels of trad-; for larger and bet- j
lor business relations between this j
country and the South American and |
Oriental countries, is a very progres
sive move and the American people
should have a feeling of thankfulness
for the pioneering enterprise which is
l?Oth unique and gigantic.
"The spirit of investment and spec
ulation appears to be very manifest in
place of the feeling of hesitancy to
wards investments that has so long
existed, seeming to indicate that there J
is security felt from continued rcstric- j
lions and unnecessary regulations of j
big business enterprises by (he pres- 1
< nt administration or thai there is a ?
well founded feeling that there is go- j
ing to be a change to a Republican j
.administration with its policies of pro- j
tection and business building.
"Even some notice is now being 1 1
taken of long neglected railroad j <
shares as an investment because of I
the notieable increase in earnings 1 1

ro ADOPT UNIFORM
SYSTEM BOOKKEEPING
The state board of examiners In
iesRion a few dayq ago adopted a j
???solution which has been transmit
;ed to the heads of the different in- j
uitutions mentioned and suggests <
he necessity for a more thorough
lystem of accounting and book
keeping. The resolution reads an
ollows:
"Whereas, The accountlnK ays- 1
ems employed in the various charit- j
'ble and penal Institutions of the i
state are not designed to show ac- 1
:urately the cost of maintaining the j
.?arlous departments in such instil u-|
ions or to lead to such a check on j
he purchase of supplies and the dis-j
ribution of the Fame, or of the dis
ribution of labot and other expense. I
is Is desired by this board.
"lie It Resolved. That the various
soards in charge of the state prison,
lie oprhans' home, the Nevada school
if industry and the Nevada hospital
'or mental diseases, respectively be i
jrged to install a modern and uniform j
system of costs and accounts to be |
ipproved by this board, calculated to J
show the cost of each department in l
rach institution, the detail of labor
*nd supply expense and such other ;
matter as may be deemed essential to
efficient and economical management. [
shown by some of the big lines in- j
eluding our own Southern Pacific.
"The past unusual large supply of i
Idle railroad cars are all now in use
and at some seaports an embargo has |
been declared on grain shipments be
cause of lack of ships to receive it. i
"Idle labor in the manufacturing j
centers dots not now exist, and con- j
tinuous operation, night and day, is j
l he order of things now, and all sorts j
of manufacturing for war require- j
ments is truly humming.
'The business ol the ISosion. New !
York and Chicago banks is the largest |
ever, and the clearing house figures of!
New York are double what they were]
in November a year ago and 20 per |
pent greater for the eleven months.
"It looks good for us to see the in- ;
creased price of silver and copper."
CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG
IN SEPARATION SUITj
NEW YORK. Dec. 16.? Clara
Kimball Young, moving picture ac
tress. through her attorney. Nathan
Vidaver, has begun suit against
James Young in two actions, one for
a separation and the other to recover
$25,000. The complaint In the latter,
proceedings has not yet been tiled.
The summons reveals that $25,000 is
asked for. but does not state the
cause.
The complaint in the separation
suit declares Mrs. Young was mar
ried to the defendant on June 29.
1910, and that he lias been cruel in ?
his treatment of her. On March 28th,
the plaintiff says .the defendant as-,
sailed her, grasping Iter and choking j
her. thereby bruising her arms and '
neck and causing her pain and an- 1
guish. On August 15th. so she al
leges. he grasped her by the neck and t
hurled her from him.
She also says that he threatened to
kill her, causing her fear of death,
and charged her with unfaithfulness,
which charce. she declares, is un
founded.
Mrs. Young wno nas become a
great favorite with Nevada picture
house patrons, !s well-known in this
state, where she lived for two or
three years. When in her teens she
played in her parents' stock company
in Ooldlleld and later played soubrette
parts with the Ayleswortli company
in Reno. She is one of the most
beautiful women on the stage.
