VISITS SHIPPERS


John A. Gill, newly appointed trav
cling freight and passenger agent of the
Hartman lines for the state Of Neva.
da, called on the merchants and ship.
pers of Winnemucca yesterday in com
pany with P. E. Born, local agent of
the Southern Pacific company. Mr..
Gill has had a long railroad experience,
having started with the Southern Pa
ci6c company at Sacramento, then to
the Union Pacific, and also handled the
Fruit Growers Express Refrigerator
line in California, and from there went
with the New York Central lines "a
freight representative in San Francis
so. Mr.. Gill is known as sbooster, -
and says he is going to live in Neva-
da for some time, and is here to co-ope-
rate with the people on any PROPOSE
tions of mutual benefit.
He says the service the Southern
Pacific company is now giving patrons
in Nevada by eight through overland
trains is certainly the best in the
country. He claims that what Neva.
da needs is more people, and that
there should be some effort made to get
capital interested in irrigation pro-
jects which will bring people and
money for investment. He says the
state of Nevada can depend on the
Southern Pacific company doing the
proper thing in making the lowest pos
sible rates for homeseekers and their
household effects, as anything that will
help Nevada will certainly prove bene-
fetal to the transportation line.
In speaking of the Panama Pacific
International Exposition, to be held in
San Francisco in 1915, Mr.. Gill says
it is an assured fact that San Francis
co will get the exposition, which will
benefit Nevada very much, as it will
bring people from all parts of tho
world, large percentage of whom
will certainly locate in Nevada, Cali
fornia and other Pacific coast states.
He thinks this matter is worthy Of the
careful consideration of Nevada peo-
pie, who should take an active inter
est in the matter San Francisco has
shown that she means business by al.
ready subscribing nearly seven million
dollars.

HARRY MILLS
Champion Lightweight Wrest-
Ter of the Northwest

Who has undertaken a big con-
tract for Wednesday night, Feb. 9,
when he will try to throw Sammy
Nelson, the local wrestling celebrity,
five times in one hour.
Mills exhibitions on the mat are
among the extremely artistic athletic
exhibitions afforded to lovers of
such contests. AS graceful as the
best trained contortionists, agile
and muscular as the most expert of
acrobats aud we'll versed in all the
science of his chosen game, he has
his audience constantly on the alert
for surprises in the tactics with
which he meets his opponent.
Gotch, the champion heavy weight
wrestler of the world says of Mills:
HE is the most clever and scientific
wrestler at any weight and of any
country in the wrestling game to-
day." To the world of sport he is
known as the greatest adept in leg
work, securing most of his falls
without even using his hands.
Quick in selling and improving
every opening offered for downing
his man, he is a good defensive
wrestler as we'll. Slippery as an
eel and quick as flash he spins out
of Nelson's with the greatest of
ease to be on the offensive an instant
after. Posses I'd of splendid
physique and staying qualities he is
relentless in forcing the other man
to continuous exertion.

Normal School Notes

There will be summer session
of the Normal school for six weeks
next summer. The session will be-
gin June 81, the Monday following
the commencement exercises. Supt.
H. A. Aune of ST Croix county,
and Supt. Oscar Mattson of Pierce
county have signified their willing
ness to dispense with their usual
summer institutes. The general in
terest in and the inquiries about
the summer session indicate that
there will be large attendance.
The second term examination
are being held this week. On next
Monday morning the third term will
begin.
Three Juniors gave their rhetori-
Gals yesterday morning. Miss
Jeanette tombstone presented re-
view of the year 1909 in a most
pleasing and effective manner.
Among the many notable events of
the year Miss tombstone indicated
those which would probably make
the year distinctive, the inven-
ton of the aeroplane and the dis
covery of the North Pole. The
Shirtwaist Strike" was subject
made interesting by vivid treat
ment by Miss Hilda Heyerdahl.
Ray Junkman gave an exposition of
the value of Long Distance Elec-
trical Transmission" in which he
used some apparatus to explain the
method of transmitting the electric
ity.
The local Normal School oratorical
contest is rapidly becoming the
chief topic of interest at the school.
Eight speakers are practicing their
addresses under the instruction of
Miss Hilton of the Reading Depart.
ment; and if the value of the adj
dresses and the rapid progress made
in perfecting the delivery are indie
alive of a good contest, the pro-
gram to be given at the Methodist
church on Friday evening, February
18th, is likely to be one of the most
notable of the season. The speakers
who will compete for the honor of
representing this Normal in the
state contest, are all young men,
and represent the best ability of the
school. The orations are upon sub
iects of present interest-discus-
sions of economic and socialistic
problems, reviews of the notable
events; and biographies of men of
the age who have done great things.
The following are the names of
those who will enter the contest:
Paul Spencer, Fred Short, Tom Hen
nessey, Sidney Rogers, Guy Owen,
Leveret Farley, Carl Guggisberg,
Howard Barker.
The methods of Judging the efforts
of the contestants will be different
this year than that used in the past.
There will be five judges, and the
papers will be read by the judges
before the contest and marked upon
their excellence of thought and COM
position. The marks will be upon
the scale of 100 per cent as perfect,
and no lower than IS per cent. The
same judges will mark the delivery,
and the final rank will be found by
averaging the two markings indi-
Gated alone. 1t is expected that
this new method will be found as
satisfactory in its working as any
that can be devised.

BASKET BALL

The Normal basket ball team
added another victory to it's credit
last Saturday evening at Prescott,
defeating the high school team of
that city by score of Is to ID.
The rough tactics which character
lied the Prescott style OF play here
a few weeks ago, was even more in
evidence on their home floor, and
the Prescott rooters added consid-
cradle to the general disorder by
coming out on the floor and inter-
fering with the pedagogues. But
the referee, Hastings gentleman,
was perfectly honest and the Nor
malites, in spite of the mistreat-
ment by their opponents and the
crowd, won out by their superior
team work. The cold weather and
poor roads discouraged the local
fans who intended accompanying
the team.
The high school basket ball play
ers were given two more practical
lessons in the gentle art of shoot
ing baskets last week. Friday eve
ming at Baldwin the fast high
school quint of that village priced
their lesson at 40 to ! victory, and
at Hudson Saturday evening the
Galahads charged the River Falls
boys 43 points to 6 for instruction,
The following players appeared in
the local lineup:
At Baldwin--Sylvester, Wigen,
Truesdell, Bennett and Sherburn,
forwards; Richards and Gleason,
centers; Anderson, Ensign, Randall
and Truesdell, guards.
At acknowledgements, Wigen
aud Richards, forwards; Gleason

OBITUARY

BERTHA D. KIMBLE.

Bertha D. Kimble was born in
Hastings, Mimi, July 2, 1890, and
departed this life Jan. Is, 1910,
aged 10 years, six months and
fifteen days Her release came aft
er very trying illness of two years
and she had not been able to walk
since June IL last. For over three
months she has been confined to
the house and without murmuring
has patiently endured unto the end.
Bertha united with the Baptist
church when twelve years of age
and proved faithful member of the
same until the time of her decease.
The appreciation and esteem in
which she was held is shown by the
fact that when sixteen years of age
she was elected church organiSt,
also organist and treasurer OF the
Young Peoples Society and also of
the Sunday School. These positions
she held as long as the church con-
tinued in active operation.
The services were held at the
house, Jan. 20, 1910, conducted by
the Rev. G. A Bird, pastor of the
Methodist church, who chose for his
text the very appropriate scripture
found in Matt. Is, 81, Come we
blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world" A
mixed quartet composed of Mrs.
Toby, Mrs. Ritchey, Mr.. Davis and
Mr.. Taggart rendered some of
Bertha's fayorite hymns. She
leaves TO mourn her loss devoted
father and mother, two brothers,
Oscar J. and Myron L., both of La
Crosse, and besides other relatives
large circle of very dear friends.
Bertha was of poetic nature and
and she wrote many little poems of
real value. The services were
closed by the reading of one Of
these poems entitled,
EVENING THOUGHTS
The sun is sinking lower,
The evening hour is nigh;
can hear the river murmur,
can hear the night birds cry;
NV thoughts are little SOmber,
And wonder deep in my heart
If in all the days occupations
have faithfully done my part.
Did do my work all neatly?
Did keep smiling face?
Did L help my tired brother?
Did help child to grace?
Did save any steps for my mother?
Did greet my father kind?
Did remember my Saviors pattern?
Did I seek his grace to find?
Oh, at approach of evening"
How many a sorrowful thought
AS review the mistakes of the day
time.
m1,iprc +I,ot T didn't do that ouuht
But if each day conquer temptation,
And each day stronger grow
At last know I'll be happy
For shall succeed know.
Among those present from dis
lance were Mrs. Kimble's three
sisters, Mrs. Henkel of Minneapolis,
Mrs. Kuhuley of Annandale, Mrs.
Schyer of Corinne, Wis, and
niece, Mrs. Keech of Annandale.
