TONUPAH WINS
BALL uAMt tROM
MANnAIiANIIES
VISITORS SHOW BETTER TEAM
WORK THAN THE LOCAL
ORGANIZATION.

The fans who turned out to see
the baseball game last Sunday be-
tween Manhattan and Tonopah were
not disappointed in the least. The
local boys are putting up good
brand of the national game and a
couple more games should see them
in condition to give any team in
the state a good run for the hon
ors. 1t looked as though Tonopah
was doomed in the first inning
when Prout was found for three
hits in bunch which netted the
visitors only one run. With
man on second and one on third
Eddie put on little more steam
and struck out the next two men
up.
In the second the timber boys, by
bit of maneuvering succeeded in
bringing in one more run with only
one hit to their credit. In the last
half of the second the first man
up for Tonopah was Agnew who
beat out bunt very cleverly, made
the second cushion on a steal and
!, scored ON Prouts hit. The next
two men up proved easy for the
visitors and retired Tonopah with
the score to /.
In the third Manhattan failed to
score, while Tonopah, with one man
down secured threee passes in sue
cession. With the bases full and
.only one out and every one with
their eyes on the batter signal
was given for Sietz to go to sleeI
on the initial sack. This he prompt
ly did and drew a throw from
l.. Herd. Seitz was put out between
first and second, but on the put

M. r. WALKER,

President of Crittenden Home.
The above message was received
here Sunday and yesterday it was
learned that Mrs. Mcnamara had
been canvassing Tonopah since Mon
day, soliciting funds for the Crit
tenden home for girls, located at
Reno. When asked concerning her
right to represent this institution
Mrs. Mcnamara announced that she
had a perfect right to do so and
that every cent collected would be
turned over to the controlling board
of the home.
DIR. Walker attempted the same
practice said Mrs. Mcnamara,
when l was canvassing Elko and
Ely. He is angry because l will
not turn all funds that l collect
over to him. Instead l will give
the money to the controlling board
SO that it will be expended in a
wise manner.
II have been engaged with the
Crittenden home for four years and
have never met with anything like
the treatment afforded me by DR.
Walker during my experience. This
is my chosen work and ! was com
manded by God to go forth and ait
~ ,;,.lc
happened to missionary in for
eign field the troops would b.
rushed Immediately to their assist
ance"
Mrs. Mcnamara was unable tt
produce her credentials authorizin!
her to solicit for the Crittendel
people and stated that she had lef
them with Attorney Mckay at Ely
who is representing her. Sh
showed certificates of deposit on al
Ely bank for $2O5 and also a Ger
tificate on local bank for $54
These, she said, she woold endors
over to the controlling board an
had no intention of keeping tn
money for her own use.
Just what the exact status O
the matter is, the Bonanza is liz
able to state. 1t would appear
however, that if the lady intende
to turn the subscriptions collecte
at Ely over to the home, she shout
have done so at Reno on her re
turn from the eastern part OF tn
state and before coming to this SET
ton of the country. Her lack
the proper credentials is ais
against her. 1t would appear ths
If she had no right to take sui
scriptions that the officers of tn
home would take legal steps
prevent her doing SO, but from tn
information at hand, no action
this sort has been taken.

her and that she goes to Goldfiel

TEACH THEM TO SWIM

The opening of the summer season have been marked by drowning acci- dents in number at least equal and per haps exceeding those of preceding years. In every instance the fatality has been due to the inability of the victim to swim, or at least to the absence of that self-possession when suddenly emersed in the water which comes from conf. dence in the supporting power of that element.
 Such accidents will undoubtely in- o ease in number as the bathing, motor boating. canoeing, yatching season advances. And it carries it's lesson to all those who remain undrowned.
 This lesson is the necessity of teach ing the art of swimming to the young generation. Those who have grown up without requiring thls are to be pitied; they have lost most admirable source of enjoyment as well as in- valuable recourse in peril. But there is no reason why any boy or any girl should grow up without the acquisi- tion of this accomplishment. It is easly taught; it is ready acquired.
 Every body ought 70 learn to swim. Swimmers are sometimes drowned, un- doubtedly. There are strenuous crlses in boating and otherwise which over come the most skilful and the most stalwart. But these are excepIonal. Eliminate senseless dread of the water substitute confidence in that element, and panic when in peril is instinctively forbidden. aN
 Everyone should be taught to swim. Those who are not past graduates in this accomplishment should be left on the shore.

LESSONS STILL UNLEARNED

k The terrible accident to an automo- bile party near Merrimac, N. H., the other day, illustrates once moro the fact that in nine cases out of ten fatalities of this sort are caused by driving at Ia high rate of speed" as this machine was said to have been pushed.
 When will the drivers of these road locomotives learn that in reckless driv- ing they are always toying with their own lives and the lives of others in their charge? How much longer will the mania for tearing along unfamiliar roads be set above the possibility of death?
 The adage that self-preseryation is the first law of nature no longer holds good in a high powered motor car with fool at the wheel. Happily, he is in the great minority; but why should he exist atall? ....

AM ERICA LEADS

The gallant navigator of the air, Glenn H. Curtiss who flew from Albany to New York last Sunday, sets America far in the lead for long distance speed with aeroplanes by his great journey. Almost equaling Paulhans flight from London to Manchester in distance, he greatly outclasses the Frenchman in average mileage per hour,
 When we reflect that 54 miles every 60 minutes is very rapid travelling for the finest of railroad trains, we get some adequate notion of this latest of aerial marvels. But five years ago the notion of such speed would have been jeered at, save by the few of much faith. He is a fool who no denies almost any claim for the future navigation of the air. Even the "navies in the upper blue" is no longer merely poets dream.
 The genius of America is at the fore front in this, as in most other of the conquests of natural forces. And the pessimist who asks "of what good need wait but a few years to see.

OUR OWN COMET

The vagaries of the comet known as Halley's have tended to popular de- preciation and even to doubt of the fidelity of that member of our system. Now we know that this widely errant particle is faithful; that it holds with persistence to the path in which it rode for so many cons in the past that the age of our own earth is childhood.
 While our solid world was growing from nothinghess into the habitation of mankind, this free-rider was making the stupendous, lnconceivably vast traverse of infinity of which we, pur- blind mortals, became cognizant onl 2 a few years. It came and it went it came and it went, time after time.
 It boreIportents and it foretold changes npon the slowmoying globe which for med one of ths foci of it's enormous ellipse.
 And now it comes again. It comes on time, faithful as ever to laws of the great nature of which it forms a part It is peculiarly our own comet There is no other like it. It belongs to us Others of greater magnitude, of greater brilliance, have visited us and swished off on tracks of h5perbola, or parabola, meyer to come again, to lose themselves in the vastnssses of infnity, perhaps tc make like alliance unknown to us perhaps to wander forever in the great void.
 1t is not much of show that Halley's cumeE makes this time It is not g resplendant glory of the western sky Among the familiar stars it takes 2 modest place. But it is welcome as ou1 own; .as the returning wanderer or which the earth has looked from the days when first there were eyes ,ot vision upon this distant planeu.

trains as elsewhere. There is little danger of wrecks on first-class, well, managed railroads, as is proven by figures just compiled by the Pennsyl- vania Railroad System which show that in 1908 and 1909 its various lines carried total of 299, 762, ,65S passengers on its 24,000 miles of track and only one pas sen9er was killed as result of train wreck. In other words. the chance of a passenger losing his life in an accident on the Pennsylvania Railroad System was one out of about 300,000,000. In 1909 the number of passengers carried by the Pennsylvania Railroad System was 8,067, 115. This was an increase of II. .55 per cent. over the Al ,695, ,543 carried in 1908 The number of pas senger carried one mile on the Pennsyl- vania System ill 1908 and 1909 was 7,170.568, ,517, so that for each mile travelled over the system the chance of being killed was one in more than seven billion. One passenger was killed as 8 result of Q train wreck i'll 1909, while none was killed in 1908. In the two years 370 passengers were injured in train wrecks. There were two less passenger collisions and 15 less freight collisions in 1909 than in 1908, while the number of freight derailments was smaller by 69. This record of the Penn sylvania is all the more remarkable as it's business is heavier than that of any other railroad of the country which necessarily means that it operates more trains than any other railroad and at the same time enjoys an accident record which has not been equaled by any of the lines operating the same mileage.
