STEPS SHOULD
BE TAKEN AT ONCE

In order to get an expression from
different people the Silver State News
has interviewed a number and all
voice themselves as enthusiastic over
Blnnemucca celebration. And it has
been suggested that a number Of our
citizens get together and isue call
fer u meeting to consider the matter.
Among those who have been suggested
to take the initiatory steps are Cash
ier j. Shechan of the First National
Pank, w. II. Duncan of the Morris
Hoffman company. DR.. W. l.. Sam
aes, T j. Defenbaugh and others. A
few minutes time on the part of a
few of the cnterprising citizens to is
sue call will start the ball rolling
and will put Winnemueca in shape for
good time.
Outside Of the fact that Winnemilc-
Ga has not celebrated the Fourth of
iuly in a fitting manner for several
years, IS the added iaducement this
year OF the prosperity of this section
Of the county and the great number
Of people living here. Gold Circle.
Boyd Basin, the New Goldfelds dis
triet, Natchez and dozen other camps
wee unknown in former celebrations
in Winnemucca Besides the large ag
gregation from these INNINGS camps,
there's the stream of visitors from
Paradise Golconda, MeDermitt ana
Mill ~, provided that Winnemucca
arranges for fitting celebration of
the day This with the support of
Lovelock will guarantee celebration
unsurpassed in the history of Whine
mncea.
This town can better care for a
crowd than in former years, both in
lodging and eating places. Nothing,
in fact, stands in the way of a cele-
bration. All that is required is lit
tle show of enterprise on the part of
the people and the success of the ven
ture will be assured from the start.
II is to be sincerely hoped that the
gentlemen named above, together with
others, Will talk the matter over and
issue a call for meeting of the citi-
Zens.

PRISONER
STILL At LARGE.

Emmett Barry, the nineteen-year old
horse thief that escaped from the Ne
vada state penitentiary is still at
large. The last word received from
the pursuers was telegram to War
den Day at Carson City Tuesday. The
pursuers are now about fifty miles be-
yond Hawthorne and tney state that
they are not far behind the fugative
and believe that they will be able
to overhaul him. Barry appears to be
pinning his faith to the horse that he
rode from the penitentiary to carry
him TO safety and will not desert the
animal AS consequence the pursu-
ers have little trouble in following
the man through the country.
1t is said that the section through
which Barry is now going is unknown
to him and this places him at a great
disadvantage. However, the majority
of people extend sympathy to eseap
ing prisoners and this IacK of knowl-
edge may not be such a drawback 10

REGRETS
DECISION

WASHINGTON, May 4.-"If L
could have foreseen how things were
going to frame up, l never would have
made tha election night pledge"
President Roosevelt fairly chopped
his words when he savagely made this
announcement today to senator who
stood by him in his fight for four
battleships
There is no doubt but that the pre-
sident is about as angry as he ever
has been in the course of his admin
tration
The attitude of Congress towards
the executive and his executive pro-
gram has made the president very bit
ter, indeed.
There has never been q president g
message so discourteously received as
was the one sent to Congress recent
ly. In the House it was ignored COM
pletely. In the Senate, as soon as the
message from the president was an
nounced the Senators moved that it be
laid over for a day. This was done
and the Senate adjourned without i
polite inquiry as to what the message
was about.
The president gave utterance to the
statement quoted above in converse
tion with senator who was one Of
the administration leaders in the big
fight for four battleships.
This senator commented upon the
extreme Indifference of the Senate
towards the presidents wishes, and
expressed the opinion that this indif.
ference which had almost assumed the
aspect of studied affront, is due to the
fact that the president has almost
eliminated himself from the race tor
the presidential nomination, and that
Congress no longer fears the shadow Of
of his influence.
:. les, snapped the president ssand
If | could have seen how thing swere

LET'S ANSWER LOvELOCK
IN CAPITAL LETTERS

Let & have a Fourth of July cele-
bration in Winnemucca this year On
the occasion of the grand old ami

claimed independence. We have been
backward for a number of years IN
this matter; have been so engaged N
business affairs that the Fourth of
July slipped up on US and was gone
ere we were aware of IL. In the past
we have had celebrations that it is
a pleasure for us to recall. What bet
ter day was ever spent in Winnemuc-
ca than the Fourth on which the Ea-
giles gave their burlesque on the Floto
shows9 What one of our citizens ever
laughed louder and longer than he did

GOLDFIELD men AT
DISASTER PEAK

There was another flight of those
who are always looking for new
camp yesterday afternoon from Gold
field, says the Gold Tribune. Automo-
biles' were pressed into service and
three of them were headed for Disas-
ter Peak. located some sixty miles to
the north of Winnemucca, and seven
teen miles east of the old fort of
McDermitt.
The tip came in by way of tele-
gram which was sent from Winnie
mucca and all that it contained was:
Come; we have the biggest thing
on earth.
This telegram was shown to a few
of the local man s friends and away
they went across the desert for 100
miles or more. They had faith in the
man who had wired for them to come.
