UNUSUAL FINE DISPLAY

Holiday Season.

An unusually ne display of goods,
both in tn eshow windows and in the

Lovelock can now be seen. It would
almost seem as though the different
merchants had wed with each other in
an effort to present the most attractive
display of Yuletide goods.

his usual tact, in presenting q window
that is very attractive. Winter hoods
and cloaks and neckwear are shown in
fine shape. In tn einterior Of the store

pective purchaser, facing the universal
dilemma of MT knowing what to get

would speedily change the indecision

SANFRANCISCO WANTS
TO HOLD ANOTHER
CELEBRATION

San Francisco's big Panama Pacific
exposition, which will be held in 1915
to celebrate the completion Of the
Panama canal, is already international
in its aspects.
Official notification of the intention
to hold great world 3 fair was for
warded nearly month ago to the gov
ernments of Germany and France by
the resident consular representatives
OF the two countries.
Thursday the officers Of numerous
other important nations, notably Great
Britain, ria-Hungary, Belgium,
Italy, Spain, Argentine Republic, China
and Japan announced their intention
of communicating Immediately with
their governments, which will be urged
tv participate in the Panama-Paciac ex-
position with large and comprehensive
exhibits.
Great World Exposition.
IN edcu lusthucc tno luPoItdhco "a
the Panama canal as factor in world
commerce was emphasized. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that more ap-
propriate celebration than the Panama
Pacific exposition could not be design
ed, and it was unanimously conceded
that San Francisco was ideally situat-
ed to hold the immense world show.
1t is probable that every maritime
nation will be represented at the open
ing of the exposition b yam imposing
fleet, and this suggestion has revealed
the possibility of providing in addition
to the fair itself modern naval dis
play of prodigious proportions. Italy
may send an entire fleet.
Members of the committee of six,
which is perfecting the organization
of the exposition, are gratified at the
lively interest manifested by the for
eign consular representatives. Their
action has been entirely voluntary, as
no solicitations whatever have been
thus far made for foreign participa-
tion.

FOR PITT HOMESTEAD RANCH
t66 Acres Of Cultivated Land Near
Town Brings q Fancy Price
to the Owners,

to the Owners.
On Monday of this week P. Anker
the well known lower valley rancher
purchased the George Pitt homestead
ranch, from the First National bank OF
Winnemucca, for $1,000. This ranch
sontains 160 acres of cultivated land
with some improvements and few
head of horses. In location tn eranch
occupies the northwest quarter of sec.
tion 20 township 81, and is about a
mile and quarter from town. As the
name Of tn eranch signifies it was
homesteaded by George Pitt, who lost
it to the First National bank of Winnie
mucea on mortgage.
For the past several years it has
been owned by the Winnemucca bank
and has been under the management of
John Faunt, the well known superin
tendent Of the Riverside ranch. The
soil of this ranch is said to be excep-
tionally fertile, yielding big yearly
crops.
The superintendent of the ranch un.
der the new owner will be George Ken
nedy, who few years ago was super
intendent of the Riverside ranch. The
ranch will be run in conjunction with
the other extensive Anker holdings in
the valley. Mr.. Anker has been one
of the most successful ranchers of the
valley. Not so many years ago, and
within the life time of some of the
II cest Of us he came to the Love
lock Valley with only a carpenter IS
kit of tools and pair of good strong
arms. He quickly took advantage of
the many opportunities for material
advancement. and success in his efforts
followed. His success is typical of the
prosperity that has been won by so
many of the ranchers in the valley,
who not so many years ago saw and
took advantage of the opportunities
here.
