MISS ELEANOR RIDGELY.

this year, it is more than likely that
she will come out, at least in an
informal way. 1t is quite possible
also that large dshutante ball will
be given at the White House in her
honor late next spring. Another
indication that Miss Ethel is fast
approaching young ladyhood is the
most attractive red chapeau she
is wearing this fall. II is a deal
more mature than any she has
worn heretofore. Mrs. Roosevelt,
who frequently entertains her
friends at informal box parties at
the various local theaterS of late,
almost invariably has allowed her
attractive young daughter to be one
of the party. So Miss Roosevelt

is not entirely unacquainted with
society. Among her own particu-
lar circle of schoolgirl friends she
is an acknowledged leader, and it is
safe to predict that if she is once
launched on a social career she will
be quite as much of a factor as her
older sister, Mrs. Nicholas Long

welt.

make her debut at an afternoon

their views in brief addresses. These
gentlemen advanced various opinions as
to what constitutes an ''easy teacher, -
and the effect Of such upon his school.
Following this. the teachers wsre:asked
to express views as to the proceeding

that the temperament Of the teacher is

that one Of the most important duties of
the teacher is to train the beys and girls

Burglary and Fire!

Last night. or at an early hour this
morning burglars entered the grocery of
c. L. Govreau. South Main st.. and went
through his tlls and drawers. and finding
no cash they maloiously set the premises
on fire. The fro was started in a dark
closet in the middle Of the store premises
and a pail Of kerosene oil drawn for its
kindling.
Night Marshal Owens discovered the
fire before il had progressed far and
saved the premises and probably the
whole block from destruction. A thin
wooden partition was all that separated
the fire from 90 gallon tank of ksro-
sene. and the partition was burned thru
before the fire was sxtinguished. The fire
boys did prompt and efficient service.
The loss is easily covered by insurance.

Decreased vsise Of Sheep Feeding.

the largest sheep feeders In past years Is
out Of Il this year. Col. Loekhart has at
Ssgar City somsthing Of bunch. where
with special facilities for doing so he is
working up some beet pulp into mutton.
The fact that alfalfa is bringing exeep-
tionally high prices this season is another
discouraRemsnt to sheep feeding. as 10
also the increased difficulty in getting the
grain foods in over the railroads. These
three factors easily explain why the usual
thousands Of sheep are not being fed
along the valley this year.
For the few that have been fed and
marketed from this section very good
prices have prevailed. Mr.. Haines has
just returned from the Kansas City mark
OF, where he took shipment. The pri-
oes ruling the past week were S7.26 to
$3.50 for choice lambs; S5.75 to $500
for choice wsathers; $4.s5 to S5.l5 for
choice ewes. The prediction is for con-
tinuanes Of good prices for good animals
throughout the season.

Ryan tickets were voting for

nomination it was over the formal
protests of nearly one-half of the

Nevada Bankers Come
Here Seeking Cash
Confer With Local Financiers and
May Obtain Money on Their
Large Securities

Nevada bankers came to this city
yesterday and visited banks to talk
over the situation with local nnanciers
Among the number were Frank Golden,
president OF the Nye and Ormsby
county bank, and A. T. Bender OF the
washoe county bank. Their mission
to San Francisco was the same The
Nevada banks seek to raise ready
money on the basis of sound securities
held by them that they may open next
week in readiness for any possible
contingency.
Since the closing of all the banks of
Nevada by the proclamation of Gov
ernor Sparks declaring holiday for
a few days, San Francisco bankers
have taken checks on the Nevada
banks for collection. The uncertainty
whether all the banks will reopen next
week at the end of the holidays was
the cause of this conservatism.
Outside of mining stocks the Neyada
banks have valuable securities run
ming into large amounts that are a
good basis for loans. Statements OF
the Nye and Orsmby county bank, the
Cook e. Co. bank and the State bank
and trust company have been published
IN which the amounts of the securities
were named. The expressions of local
bankers are favorable to extending aid
to the Nevada bankers as much as pos
sible. This was ascertained by the
visiting Nevada bankers in their con-
ferences yesterday.
While all the banks in Nevada are
closed the people of the state are rely
ing for the moment upon what ready
coin they had on hand when the procla-
nation of Governor Sparks was is
sued. In a way they are circum-
stanced much as the people of San
Francisco were as regards cash in the
days following the confagration, be-
fore arrangements had been made for
paying out money through the mint
The period before payments will be re-
sumed in Nevada is so brief that nc
serious inconvenience is expected to
result from the temporary closing OF
the banks there.
