lesson that he seemed too indifferent to learn.
 As Frazer's red car passed them for about the tenth time in their circuit of the course Dolly had a sudden in- spiraton.
 'Nir Blouut in his gray car cannot be far behind" she said. Let us pre- tend that we do not hear and make him take the side of the road instead"
 Do you think that he willf' asked Mayling uneasily.
 "Of course he will turn out" said Dolly confidently He won't try to run us down, and when he sees that we do not intend to move out he will have to turn"
 She smiled radlantly at the Idea, but found no answering smile on her es- cort's face. Mayllng went white to the lips at the thought of what might happen were the plan to miscarry
 He did not think of the girl, only of himself. for Mayllng despite his ath- letic prowess was no moral hero.
 He was not afraid to fight. Indeed, he rather welcomed the opportunity, for he was reasonably certain to knock out his man. but to walk with ones back to an auto and 10 dare a rival to keep on were not 0t all to his liking,
 When the faint humming Of the mo- tor told of the coming of the gray racer Dolly smiled dclightcdly Notic- ing signs of bolt on the part of her companion as the frantic sounding of the horn told that Blount was near, she caught at his coat,
 In an ecstasy of fear Mayling threw off her hold and dashed for the side of the road just as Blount. to avoid an accident took chances on the road side.
 Mayllng ran directly into the path of the auto and then, with another quick twist of the steering wheel, Blount threw the car at the stone fence.
 The next instant there was the sound of exploding tires, and the driver was thrown heavily to the frozen ground.
 He lay stll and white, and with llt- tie cry of terror Dolly ran to his side Tenderly she raised his head into her lap and with her handkerchief stanch- ed the flow of blood from the cut in his forehead, while MaylIng stood wondcrIngly by.
 Cant you go for doctorT she asked when at last she looked up. "lf YOU had done as I told you it would have been all right but you had Co run at the wrong moment for all the world like a scared chicken, l thought that athletics made men brave, but l was wrong. It seems 10 make them foolish. That action of Mir. Blounts was bravcr than anything you ever dared think Of

 "I guess had better get a car riage anyhow" said Mayllng sheep Ishly as he started for the town. The scene was not to his liking,
 The two beside the road did not even seem to realize that he was gone, for In each others eyes they read the old old story and found it delightful ly new. Blount had won by a turn out Ills ruined car and aching head were forgotten.

BALL Of
The MACHINISTS
WAS A SUCCESS
BOYS OF SAGEBRUSH LODGE NO.
63S ARE EXCELLENT
ENTERTAINERS

Sagebrush lodge No. 63S, Inter-
national Association of Machinists,
made it's initial appearance before the
Tonopah public last evening in the
role of entertainer. That the mem
bers acquitted themselves creditably
was evinced by the crowded condi-
ton of the hall and the remarks of
the dancers, who one and all de-
clared the affair to be the best yet
rendered the dance loving public
this year.
The interior of the Miners Ex-
change hall had been handsomely
decorated with the national colors,
while on the wall opposite the or
| chestra, the numerals of the lodge
stood out in bold relief with the
American flag as background.
Nor was the attendance confined
to home people, for a large delega-
ton was in evidence from Millers,
while the other outside towns had
4 Representatives present. The music
4 could not have been better and with
the accommodating floor committee,
which numbered every member OF
the machinists organization, there
was no lack of partners for the
dancers.
Every conceivable comfort was
carefully looked after and if one
! did not enjoy the evening it was
J ones own fault. Refreshments were
served to the ladies, which was
5 truly an innovation in Tonopah.
: The dancing was kept up until {
late hour and then it was only thu
WEAKNESS of the trippers of the ligh
fantastic that caused the final ces
r sation of the music. The next an
/ nual dance of the machinists will b.
? an event long loked forward to.
The following committees had thu
I affair in charge, and it is to then
t that the credit is due for the en-
ioyable evening:

The many different heads OF the
many different houses in this city,
who forgot to bring in the kindling
and wood with which to start the
fire yesterday morning, appeared for
a short time to be the most abused
persons in the state. For when they
arose to make preparations for
breakfast, the fact that something
like ten or twelve inches of snow
had fallen during the night was
made plain. And then the poor un-
fortunates had to burrow around in
search of little wood which neces-

During the snowstorm in the
night number of birds fell to the
ground and yesterday morning sew
eral were captured in benumbed
state and unable to fly. Tom Ken
dali discovered a mud hen in his
back yard which he Immediately
adopted. Roy Crump, at the Mon
tana mine, discovered loon flop
ping around in the snow, which he
captured and brought to town. An
other loon was found in the resi-
dence district and was taken to thu

was placed ON exhibition.

TONOPAH WAS
There WITH BELLS
At GOLDFIELO
ID. o. X. *. SHOWN A GOOD TIME
BY MEMBERS IN SOUTH
ERN CITY

The members Of the Tonopah del
egation, who invaded Goldfield
Thursday night to attend the grand
ball given by the Dramatic Order
Knights of Khorassan, were treated
to the time of their lives. Each in
dividual was taken in hand by
Goldfield member, and after that
there was nothing but enjoyment.
The following is from the Goldheld
Tribune of yesterday morning and
is relative to the Tonopah invasion:
The Dramatic Order of knights
of Kborassan came to town last eve
ming from T0nopah and other out
living posts of the desert country.
They came with bells on their i'm
gers and rings on their toes, and
for a time it seemed as if the storm
king had sent some of his legions
down on the crest of the first snow
wave of the season. Tonopah dellV-
cred the goods with all the JUNCTION
that the bunch is capable of, and
thew were not a bit dismayed by
the weather. 1t had been planned
to hold a street parade in the ele-
giant costumes of the order, but
when the snow packed down to the
depth of several inches it was be-
lieyed the boys would forego this
part of the program. However, the
visitors were not of that kind Of
stuff. and carried the arrangements
out to the letter to the accompan1'
ment of red fire and birthstone thai
would have graced the vestibule Of
the Inferno.
The Tonopah Knights came over
on a special train and rode up town
in closed coaches and concealed the
gaudy costumes that would have
earned the undying admiration O.
artists who revel in high lights. l
is too bad, after ALL that the visit
ing knights did not have chance
to display their gaily caparisonet
forms for the edification of the gent
Ter sex, but then that is anothe
question. It could not be helped
the weather man had put 1t owe
them, and all that could be don
under the circumstances was t
make the best of the game. Thi
they did and the Goldfield Pythian
received their northern brethrel
with such gusto that nothing wa
lacking to establish a firm entent
cordiale, as they say in Berlin.
Assembly hall had been hand
somely decorated with the nationa
tri-color, mingled with the colors Q
the Knights. and electric effect
were used to great advantage. TIL
dances were christened after som

IMPORTANT MEETING
Is Had by the National Water Users
Association at Salt Lake City.
FULTON II. SEARS IS PRESIDENT
Representatives From Ten Projects Con.
fer and Make Numerous Recon-
mendatiOns.

Dissatisfied with the cost of the ir-
rigation projects under patronage of
the federal government, and with the
delay occasioned by Federal procedure
representatives of ten government ir-
rigation projects at their meeting at
the Cullen hotel yesterday formulated
petition to Congress asking for
changes in the procedure and the law
governing the institution and cost of
these projects.
The irrigationlsts claim that when
the government projects were pro-
NOTED estimates were given the farm
ers of the cost. In each instance the
actual cost has greatly exceeded the
estimated cost. and the farmers find
that their homes and their property
are security for a much greater
amount than they had anticipated.
They ask that they be relieved from
paying any more than the estimate
furnished them before they agreed to
become parties to the project.
WANT FURTHER TIME.
Another ground for complaint by the
irrigationists is that the beneficiaries
of the irrigation schemes are given but
ten years in which to pay for tho wat.
er, The petitioners ask that the law
be amended to extend the payments
over twenty years instead of ten.
Fulton II. Sears, of the Truckee
Carson project, presided at yesterdy's s
session Of the irrigation men. Frank
S. Roayer of Orland, CAL, was the
secretary of the meeting l.. Newman
of the Milk river project was chairman
of the committee. Other members of
this conmitte were H. G. Stewart OF

liable banks in the entire state of Ne
vada. More than this | wish to say,
and that is that during the past year
certain changes have taken place in
the matter of holdings of stock, and
today it can be truthfully said that
the Churchill County Bank is in every
sense Churchill county institution
the majority OF stock now being
oSned by residents of this county and
the management being in the hands of
Churchill county men. We have been
fortunate in the selection of capable
and courteous cashier and assistant
cashier and while we have been about
our regular lines of business and work
the details of management have been
well looked after. Many of the heavy
real estate loans which in times of
money stringency in the past were
slow of collection and hampered the
bank at time when quick realization
on securities was necessary, have been
materially reduced and now stand as
desirable loans. In fact, | believe !
am warranted in stating that this bank
has now nothing in its holdings but
first class, gilt-edge securities such as
every stockholder will approve of and
which would pass the most critical
scrutiny Of either interested or dis
interested parties.
Mnch more need not be said at this
time for the annual statement which
have the honor to herewith submit con-
tains all detailed information and
shows plainly in dollars and cents the
exact financial condition of your bank.
| trust you will consider the same care
fully and in detail and that it will
prove satisfactory.
And now as we pass the work of the
year just finished and enter upon that
to come | wish to congratulate the
stockholders of this bank upon the har-
mony and hearty cooperation which
has prevailed at all times and in all
departments and predict for the bank
another prosperous and progressive
year and one which at its close will
find the Churchill County Bank even
more established as a strictly local in
stitution of the people, by the people,
and for the people of Churchill
County.

BANKS STOCKHOLDERS
Receive Dividend Of Six Per Cent on
Bank Stock.
PRESIDENT MAKES AN ADDRESS
Calls Attention to the Local Character
Of the Bank and the Commun-
ity it Serves.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Churchill County Bank
occurred in the bank building Wednes-
day afternoon of last week, at which
time dividend of six per cent was
declared and the extra earnings of the
fiscal year, amounting to $l0S0, were
placed in the banks reserve fund,
making total of sl2, in this fund.
The subscribed capital stock is now
$50, 900 of the 100000 authorized.
Cashier Fairchild and the bank s execu-
I tive board have made most creditable
showing in the face of the financial
stringency and the conservative man
ner characterizing the banks conduct
augurs well for the solidity of the
institution.
w. A. Keddie was elected n director
Of the bank TO fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Gen. Turrittin, of Reno,
which makes the directorate Churchill
county board. All other bank officers
were elected to succeed themselves.
Hon. w. w. Williams, the bank s presi-
dent, outlined the banks policy past
and future, in the following terse
speech, which is OF interest to every
bank patron in the country;
To the Stockholders of the Churchill
County Bank:
At this, our regular annual meeting,
Il becomes my duty to lay before you
for your consideration a statement of
the condition at the present date of the
institution In which you are all stock
holders, and of which have had the
honor to be President during the past
year. am pleased to say to you that
while the past year has generally been
looked upon by the business interests
of this and other sections as an exceed
ingly trying one, our own financial
institution, the Churchill County Bank
has prosperred and made progress
steadily day by day and month by

gerating in the least when | now say

Charley Grader, and Clarence Linville

where they completed the assessment
work on the sand mountain, one Of the
county's phenomenas. This mountain
has been located by Messrs. Maull and

themselves. These values, taken pro-
miscuously from every part Of the
mountain average $l.A to the ton, and
the amount Of sand available for mil
ling purposes ID almost incalculsble.
The mountain is from 200 to 500 feet
high, and two miles long and the sand
forms pyramid shaped mountain with
an angle Of thirty-one degrees.

there are no base metals to contend
