venality. The books and lyrics are
the work of Glen MacDonough, and
are said to take high rank as the most
pretentious product of this popular
librettist, while the exquisitely beauti-
full music by victor Herbert is far the
most ambitious offering of this talent

CONTEST ON FOR
INLAY POSTOFF|CE

According to reports there is fight
now on for the postmastership at I'm
lay.
Some time ago M. A. Bullard, the
postmaster at that point, moved to
Oregon, leaving the Office in charge of
Mrs. Bullard until a successor could be
appointed. Yesterday she declined to
serve longer and left for Oregon to
join her husband. Billiards. bonds
men turned the office over to the keep
ing of Miss Defenbaugh until the new
official is named.
1t is stated that, owing to the fact
that there was no Republican aspirant
for the office, some three or four weeks
ago A. E. Organ, an avowed Demo
crat, was nominated for the position.
Before he was confirmed, however,
George H. Copley, young Republican
business man moved to Inlay from
Humboldt House and applied for the
job.
1t is said that both candidates are
making strenuous efforts to secure the
position, with the chances in favor of
Copley, who has the backing of the
Republican county committee

valentine SOCIAL
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Valentine social at the Metho-
dist Episcopal parsonage last night, un-
der the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
society, was success in every way.
There were about rs present. The
rooms were tastefully decorated with
red hearts. Miss Irma Brown was
"Queen of Hearts, and wore a gown
of white, bedecked with red hearts.
Assisted by Mrs. Rhea, Miss Brown re-
ceived the guests.
A short program was rendered as
follows:
Singing, Onward, Christian Sold
ier," by all who were pleased to join
in singing the hymn.
Recitation, my Valentine" Helen
Ducker.
Recitation, Don't" Mayetta Alley.
Recitation, "Papa's Little Girl"
Virginia Bonnefon.
Solo, "sing Me to Sleep" Miss
Florence Guthrie. Miss Guthrie re-
sponded to an encore by rendering the
same selection in German
Select reading, Mrs. Brain.
Solo, Miss Dorothy Parker. Miss
Parker also responded to an encore.
Later in the evening solos were rem
dered by Miss Wagner, Miss Mayetta
Alley and Frank Saunders. The COM
pany were very much amused with the
efforts of blindfolded persons trying
to throw red cupid arrows at red
heart. The game was to see who could
place an aroow nearest the center of
the heart. The prize, package of
homemade candy, was given to little
Mayetta Alley. Some Of the young
men present had narrow escapes from
having their hearts pierced by cupid IS
arrows.
Refreshments, consisting of coffee,
sandwiches and cake were served.
Many of the guests remained until a
late hour and it was evident that a
very pleasant evening was enjoyed by
all who were present.
The prettify decorated candy booth,
presided over by Mrs. Brain and Mrs
Clafflin, did rushing business while
the supply of nice homemade candy
lasted, but was soon put out of bust.

TAKES BUT LITTLE
STOCK in JARb|DCF

Billy Kopplan, of Dyke, has been at
Jarbidge a couple of weeks looking
over the camp, and has written his un-
biased opinion about its present con-
ditions and possible future. He is a
close observer and very thorough
prospector. While he is in no sense
a "knocker," neither has he any Of
the makeup of a wildcatter. He is
just, but conservative. While on the
ground he needs no one to tell him
what the amount of exposed ore is
probably worth or how much tonnage is
in sight. He is capable of figuring that
out himself. Therefore his opinion Of
the camp should have much weight
with those who contemplate joining
the rush.
Mr.. Kopplan says the reputed value
of the Bourne claims are ridiculous
He saw others as good, and one he
thinks better. Considering that the
original discovery was made more than
six months ago, there is but little show
ing in the way of work for a camp
reputed to be SO rich, and nothing to
compare to our National, to say moth
ing of Gold Circle, Dyke and other
places in this vicinity.
1t is pretty sure thing that the
town will be dry, as far as saloons are
concerned, being in reservation
where the sale of liquors are pohibit-
ed. The nearest saloon now is eight
miles away. However, it is safe to
say there will be more whisky consum.
ed there than in Winnemucca, especial
ly in the spring and summer, when rat
tiers are in bloom.
AS to a corner on town lots, it is
said all one has TO do is to give the
forester in charge $40 (the government
fee), and one may stake out lot of
any size and get deed for it. With
an absolutely dry town and practically
free building lots there is class of
people who should be satisfied to take
Jarbidge for better or worse, even if
it can hold its own as a great low
grade camp. For instance, if Bourne
will reverse his figures and in place of
claiming $72,000,00 in gold in sight,
say there are that many tons of ore
that will mill $40 per ton, even then
it would show great attraction for
a solid class of investors. There is
a certain disadvantage in having ore
too rich, such as half gold or there
abouts. 1t necessitates extra help in
the way of guards to watch the min
ers and detectives to watch the guards,
with chief hypnotist and expensive
Subject to oversee the whole out
put.
When it becomes fashionable for
miners to wear hip-pockets in their
drawers, owing to the high-class ore of
the camp, it is questionable whether
it pays to discover such mines The
miner who has a good showing of ten
dollar ore will be wise to stay with it.

|NFOR-
NATION A SECRET
Especial to Silver State.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Unit
ed States census bureau is making ex-
traordinary preparations to ascertain
the approximately extct number and
value of livestock on the ranges in the
United States ON April Is next, the
date of the livestock inventory, as re-
quired by the act of congress providing
for the thirteenth decennial census.
Fearful that for one reason or anoth-
er the livestock raisers may be deter
red from freely stating the number and
value of their holdings, the census
bureau is exerting unusual efforts to
assure the ranchmen and farmers, c.
pecially of the western range states,
that their interests, whether personal
or corporate, cannot possibly be af-
fected in any way by their frank and
full disclosure of their livestock pos
sessions. The information gathered by
the census Office is held strictly con-
fidential not only in respect to the fact
that under no circumstances is it ever
impaired to any one not connected with
the census Office, but in respect to its
ever being given to any other branch
of the government.
Assurance Of Secrecy.
Gin behalf of the census bureau -
said Assistant Director William F.
Willoughby, 81 can give as positive as
surance of the confidential treatment of
information called for by the livestock
questions in the general agricultural
schedule as I could if confidence
were to be imposed upon me personally
and privately. The census bureau is
concerned only in the collection and
publication of statistical facts. The
spirit of every act of congress pro-
viding for the various decennial cen
suses has been, and is, that the infor-
nation as to individuals, firms, and
corporations is to be given inviolable
secrecy. 1t is as much privileged infor-
ufutiOn dc iudt Dy CllcHt
to lawyer, by patient to a physi
clan, by dying man to a minister. 1t
cannot even be impaired to another
branch of the federal government, no
matter how much the information may
be desired. No court ever has or ever
will ignore this immunity from per-
sonal or business involvement bestow
ed in return for information required
by United States census inquiries. To
do otherwise would impair, if not who'll
ly destroy, the scientific efficiency of
the census work. SO far as the live
stock census is concerned, the bureau,
following fair, impartial and unbiased
methods, quickly separates the person,
firm, or corporation from the facts fur
nished, and private or corporate
identity in connection with any census
data remains forever sealed and sacred
in the great safes of the census

NO NEW CASES OF
SMALLPOX AT LOvELOCK

There have been no new cases II
smallpox reported at Lovelock since the
last issue of this paper, and the
epidemic there is safely under control.
The cases down the valley at the Tule
ranch are progressing satisfactorily,
and it is believed that the spread OF
the disease among the natives in In
dian town south Of Lovelock has seen
checked. Quarantine regulations, both
on Indian town and at the Tule ranch,
are being rigidly maintained, and the
health officers believe that they have
the disease well in hand and no further
cases will develop.

DEATH YESTERDAY
 OF OLD RESIDENT
A Man Who Was An Intimate Friend
 of Kit Carson

Frank GallegO. an old resident of the territory. died yesterday morning. Gal legO's life story, could it all be told, would make interesting reading. In the palmy days of Kit Carson, Gallego enlisted with him as a teamster and followed the famous scout for a good while. He became one of Carson's most trusted men and the two formed very intimate acquaintance. After leaving Carson. GallegO drifted to Arizona and for some years in the early days was a freighter for the late C. T. Hayden between here and Pindl and Silver King. He left the territory for a short time and was lost track of but eventually found his way back and has been a constant resident ever since. For several years past he has been in rather feeble health but has been given little odd jobs of freighting by the A. J. Peters company, more as a matter of charity than anything else. For several months now he has been un- able to work but A A. WalswOrth
 taking a kindly interest in the old man, looked after his few wants and upon his death yesterday arranged for the funeral which was held yesterday afternoon. Gallego was nearly seventy years of age and his death WIS due to advanced age and general debility.

BETTER SERVICE FOR
 RURAL ROUTE PATRONS
But They Will Have to See the Post
 master About It

Postmaster Mullen requests that those resident of the country who are not now receiving rural mail service call at the office the first time they are in town and talk the matter over with him. He would like also to see those who are enjoying rural service but whose mail boxes are some distance from their homes. The idea of the post master is to rearrange the Tempe rural routes to the end that as many as possible of those people who are not now receiving mail by carrier may do so and to so adjust the routes that as many as possible shall have their boxes near their homes. In Crder to do this, the postmaster wishes the help of the patrons and prospective patrons. As soon as he has his new plans of the routes mapped out, he will require signatures to a petition requesting the department to make the changes that may be required.
