MILLER & LUX DEMURRERS
TO COME UP TUESDAY

District court will convene Tuesday,
with Judge Pike presiding. Only civil
business will be heard, the most i'm
portant of which, so far as known, is
the suit of Miller 4 Lux against par
ties exercising water rights above them
on the Quin river. However, the main
question at issue will not be decided
at this term, but the proceedings win
be confined to disposing of the demur-
rers interposed by several Of the de
PENDANTS.

PRINCIPAL SOON TO
Be NAMED

Since Prof. Perkins resigned the prin.
cipalship of the Winnemucca high
school some weeks ago the board has
been besieged with applications for
the position, nearly every state in the
Union having had one or more candi-
didates. The contest has narrowed
down to two men, one from Minnesota
and the other from Montana, and it is
expected that decision will be reach
ed within few days.

done. When the reservoirs have been
completed, and the vast benefits begin
to accrue therefrom, the story of the
building of these reservoirs will be
ready for the historian, and a good one
he needs be to be worthy of his work.
The plans and specifications of the
Humboldt reservoirs have been pub
lisheed in past issues of the Tribune.
They embrace the building of an eight
mile canal, and a diverting dam in the
Humboldt river, at a point near Mill
City, the conducting of the waters to
point near Humboldt House, where
there is located two large natural res
ervoir sites sufficient to hold all the
food and waste waters of the river, in
the flood season. The natural fall
from one reservoir to another and from
the latter to the river bed, furnishes
the means whereby immense electrical
power can be developed. The cost of
the project has been estimated by
competent engineers at $14o,000. In
brief the project is the transferal of
the large lake in the lower end of tho
Lovelock valley to te upper end, or
reservoir site.
A meeting of the promoters of the
project was held last Monday night and
what was accomplished at the meeting
is printed in the introduction.-Lov

FOOTB BALL

Thursday at Philadelphia, the last between the Cornell and Pennyslvanla elevens It is, indeed, much tO the sat isfaction of many people throughout the country, who think the game should be abolished from all colleges, prep schools and high schools. But, why should not the game be played? Because, accord ing to some ideas, it is too rough and many lives are lost during the season ot football and many athletes are crippled for life?
 There have been, it is true, thirty killed in the game this year, but, It has been authoritively stated that several moro than that number were killed Tn baseball last summer. If such is the ease, why is the national game rubbed off from the slate? Because there are more persons in the country who under stand baseball, and there are not many real fans who would not give the last cent they possessed to see good game. But it is these same people who advo- cate strongly the abolishment of the gridiron game. Where is the consls- tency shown by those who are not in favor of football?
 Some say it is dangerous game, but when one gets to the heart of the ques- tion is not every game played dangerous? It is very easy to get injured in baseball, hockey, basketball, and even in tennis it is not uncommon for one to turn over his ankle and .sprain it, thus be lad up for week.
 Excellent authorities on football. who have played the game when in the big colleges and are coaching now, say that the principal reason why the players get injured is, that they allow their muscles 50 relax-which is probably due to their being tired out-which if they didn't do would very seldom get seriously hurt. An excellent example of this has been put forth in the Yale-Harvard game, when all players were in the pink of condition, and consequently there were no fatal accidents.
 Hence, when the question is consid- cred properly, there seems to be but lit tie ground for those to stand upon who are against the game. When a crowd of between forty and forty-three thous- and persons will attend contest it does not look as if the game would be stricken from the list of college sports next year, at least.

THAN K GIVING

It is nothing out of the ordinary foI many to say, when Thanksgiving comes ''I have nothing for which to be thank. fuI," but below are many things fol which, not one but all may be thankful.
 For plentiful harvests and a great yield of all the products of the earth.
 For industrial prosperity and lack ot any notable strife between employers and employed.
 For the peace that now rules the great nations of the world, and the growth of international amity and tolerance.
 For the general revival of the cause of civic righteousness and the new mean ing attached to good citizenship.
 For the exposure of rascalitY on the part of certain great corporations, and the prospects of permanent reform in their management.
 For the victories of the people, through their courts of law, over illegal combin- ations of capital, and the hope of fur ther trlumphs.
 For the privilege of being an Ameri- can citizen, with all his advantages, as pirations, faults and merits.
 For the opportunity of helping a fel- bowman.
 If we remember these things-or any of them-aud are grateful to the provi- dence that makes them possible, Thanks. giving Day is in no danger of losing the significance of its name.
