HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

A new plan has been adopted in our
high school which will be the means of
inducing each student to read about the
occurances of worldwide interest. This
is the system of reports upon current
events. The topics to be reported
on this week are Wireless Telegraphy
by Walter Miller; The International
Balloon Race, by Jessie Dennis; The
Peace of Asia, by Elmer Groves; The
Peace Conference at the Hague, by
Zena Cade; and The Single Tax, by
Alf. Schreiner.
The football game with Tornah, Sat
urday, although it resulted in a crush
ing defeat for Viroqua. was of i'm
mense benefit to the boys and demon
strated to them that good hard work is
necessary to success in anything. 1t is
to be regretted that more of the boys
are not becoming interested in the
game. More real benefit is derived by
a boy from football scrimmage than
he himself realizes. Nothing tends to
bring out more clearly the real stuff of
which a boy is made than his attitude
toward this game. In it the qualities
of thickness, mental activity, self-re-
lance and pluck are quiekened into life
and the sterling qualities of manhood
are tested to their limits
The dance given at the Opera house,
last Friday night, by the boys of the
Football association was great sue
cess. Everyone reports a good time.
Miss Goodell entertained her German
claaSes, Friday. with Two German re-
cords on a graphophone. One record

PROFITABLE TEMPERANCE TALK
Mrs. Jackson Silbaush Makes Sincere
Plea Against Liquor Traffic.

On Sunday evening last, union ser
vice was held in the Methodist church
under the auspices of the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union. The
speaker of the evening was Mrs. Jack
son Silbaugh, former resident of vi
roQda, now of Seattle, Washington
Mrs. Silbaugh is giving her entire time
to the temperance work as true and
faithful member of the w. G.. T. u.
Her plea for a purer and nobler life
and the ultimate overthrow of the IL
quOr traffic, throughout state and ma
ton, was from many points the most
forcible and irresistible argument ever
advanced from the pulpit in Viroqua.
She urged the Christian people as a
body to arouse to their duty and not be
only so-called Christians, bu, -4ctive co
workers against the liquor traffic. We
are Justly proud of our sister and for
mer neighbor; hers is national work,
and may God bless her and give her
health and strength to do the work she
has chosen. We hope her words may
inspire the citizens of our city to for
ever silence the call for license. We
may not each do a great work, but the
ladies' of Viroqua are each cordially in
vited to assist in this great cause, and
may each wear the little bow of white
ribbon as a symbol showing that they
are standing on the side of right and
morality; thus assist ou boys and girls,
the flowers of our city. in establishing
good character. Mrs. j. w. THAYER.

STRIKE Az powHATTAN

One of the best strikes yet report
ed from Rosebud was made last
Monday on the Powhattan group,
which was bonded several weeks ago
by Phil Blume and Jack Westburg
to the big guns of the Tonopah Min
ing Company. The second payment
on the property was made yesterday.
The strike was made in trenching
to the big dyke which outcrops on
the property and a ledge four feet
wide has been uncovered, assays Civ
ing values of $500 per ton.
The strike was confirmed by w. j..
Lawrence, of the Golden Anchor, who
was in Winnemucca last night, on
his way to Salt Lake to attend to inn
portant business matters.
Another important item of news
from Rosebud is that Lewis A. Park
hurst, vice-president of the Nevada
Rosebud Company, which owns the
Brown Palace group, the camps bo-
nanza, arrived there yesterday. Mr..
~Parkhurst's visit means that the
Brown Palace treasure box-where
Phil Blume, the discoverer, made the
fabulous strike of silver ore-is to be
opened up for his inspection and
foreshadows the beginning of active
work on this wonderful property.
The strike has been covered up and
guarded ever since the purchase Of
the Brown Palace group was made
to the Schwab crowd. The cracking
Of this juicy nut will give the great
est impetus to Rosebud's big boom,
which is now fairly under way.
A letter from the camp states that
a good flow of water has been struck
in the Rosebud Townsite Company's
well, guaranteeing that sufficient
water can be developed for the
towns growing needs.
A large force of men has been put
to work making a new road with
easy grade over the Willow Springs
summit on the road between Mill
City and Rosebud. This steep sum
init has heretofore been a terror to
freighters, and with a light grade
e 1t the cost of hauling freight
from the railroad to the camp will
be greatly reduced.-Humboldt Star.

THIRTY-FIVE new
BANKS in NEVADA

In six years the number of banks
in Nevada has increased from seven
to f%orty-one. This is an evidence Of
the growth and prosperity of the
state which has not been overlooked
by the investor, and which when re-
corded in the Banking Directory of
the United States shows the most re-
variable rate of increase Of any see-
ton of the country. The total capt
t~alization of the banks of Nevada is
~$3,164,000.
The banks of the old days were
located at Reno, Carson, Virginia
City, Winnemucca, Eureka and Aus
tin. Changes have come since then;
the discovery of the gold camps of
the southern part of the state, the
development Of the irrigable lands
of the Carson Sink and the world
renowned recognition which Nevada
has gained are responsible for the
establishment of more financial in
situations in a shorter period than
has ever been recorded before.
Now Reno has five banks, Carson
two, Gardnerville one, Virginia one,
Y%erington one, Sparks one, Austin
one, Wonder one, Fallon one, Fair
view one, Eureka one, Elko two,
Winnemucca one, Lovelock one, Ton
opah two, Gold Center one, Goldfeld
three, Ely two. Manhattan three,
Bullfrog one, Las Vegas two, Rhyo-
lite one, Caliente one, Blair one and
Beatty one.
