A FORTUNE FOR AN IDEA

One million dollars-more
money than any man can save in a
lifetime working for salary or
wages--awaits the inventor who
can give to the world an appliance,
no matter how simple, which will
consume smelter smoke. Smoke
consumers are used with success
in many of the large cities of our
country. but the smoke in such
cases issues from ordinary heating
plants burning coal or wood.
Smelter smoke contains fumes and
gases from the roasting ores, and
thus far the human mind has failed
to find an influence that will combat
the poisonous effect of the smoke
which fills the atmosphere in the
vicinity of every smelter.
This mi]lion-dollar reward for
the successful inventor is no fairy
tale or pipe drear". The big
smelling companies of the United
States have spent many times that

NEWS TO LIQUOR MEM

An important decision has Just
been made by R. E. Cabal, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue,
which will lead to a more rigid
enforcement of the revenue law in
the future. In the past it ha.
always been incumbent upon a
liquor dealer, when he emptied a
barrel or package of liquor of
any kind which required a govern
mcnt stamp, to destroy that stamp.
This is the law, but the statute goes
further than this and makes it
imperative upon the dealer to
obliterate not only the stamp, bat
all marks and brands on the barrel
or package. This latter provision
has always been in the awy, but it
has not been enforced, and the
order just issued from the treasury
department by Commissioner Cabal
is that the provisions IF the statute
be strictly enforced in every
particular and detail in the future,
so that a further duty devolves
upon the liquor dealer new.
The marks and brands. beside
the stamp, referred to include the
date of inspection of the liquor,
name of the officer making the
inspection, stamp number, desi-
gnation of the kind of liquor and
blend, and the various figures
around the bung stave, being the
original gross weight of the
package-in fact, all marks and
figures around the bung stave-
must be completely obiiterated.
This precaution is being taken SO
that the barrel cannot be used
again and escape the internal
revenue taxation.
The government, of course,
never does things by halves, 20
that for a violation of this statute
an extreme penalty is imposed.
One who fails to !. comply with the
law shall be deemed guilty of a
felony and shall be fined not less
than $500 nor more than $40, 900
and imprisoned not less than one
year nor more than five years. So
that saloonkeepers and liquor
dealers are now up against the real
thing and had better govern them
selves accordingly and keep outside
the prison walls. Revenue officials
say that the liquor man has been
so long accustomed to just cancel
ling the stamp that some of them
are liable to let their foot slip and
get caught.

FECTS Of ACCIDENT

Last evening, a. result of q
prank, two well-known citizens of
Winnemucca received injuries that
will at least lay them up for
several weeks and may possibly
cost one of them his life.
Just before dusk Charles
Garteiz rode hcrse ny the corner
of Second and Bridge streets,
when, in a bantering way, John
See was dared to get up behind.
The dare was taken. and See had
on sooner mounted than the animal
began to buck and bolted through
the wire fence enclosing the
Bridge street side of the vacant
lot just east of the Hustin- Grandin
building. At the rear of the
structure referred to both men
were thrown violently to the
ground and rendered unconscious.
Bystanders ran to their assistance
and See was taken home in a
wagon and medical assistance sum-
moned. when it was found that he
had sustained fracture of the
left wrist, as we'll as severe inter-
nal injuries. The right side of
his face was also bruised and every
tooth on that side of his head
loosened.
Charlie Garteiz was removed to
tie office of DR.. Swezy, where is
was found that he had been NOR
seriously injured: In addition to
having his left collar bone broken,
his left lung was punctured and
torn. This morning Mr.. Garteiz
was resting as easily as might be
expected, with a fighting chance
for Silver State.
