GAMBLING MUST STOP
IN GOLDfIELD

The Goldfeld Tribune has the
following on the gambling situa-
tion in that city:
Goldfield's running sore gamb-
i.:--, %as SUCCESSFULLY cauterized
last evening. when Sherin W.
lngalls and Deputy Bogard made
the rounds of all the downtovn
places where gambling has been
known To exist in its various forms
and capped on the lid. Before 10
O'Clock every game in the down
town district had been closed
tight as a drum, and the sheriff
gave ample assurance that this
time they are going to stay close d.
In future there will be no more
warnings. and any violator of even
the least provision of the law
will be arrested and prosecuted
regardless nf the possibility of con-
viction. While discussing the
matter with a representative Cf
the Tribune, Sheriff Ingalls, said:
Reports of gan bling have
reached this office. and it might
not be amiss to know that we have
been aware for some time that
card playing. presumably for
money. has been going on. How
ever. despite the utmst vigilance.
we have heen unable to locate a
single place where money was
actually passed in the games.
Myself and my men have watched
such places night after night,
waiting for the time when care
lessness would outweigh caution.
Then we intended to make arrests
with a sufficient amount Of proof
to so that the district attorney
could go into court with son
ting like the semhlance of case.
However, the gamblers we're
just as foxy as we were. and
resolved several days ago to close
every game and do away with any
possible infraction of the Law.
Now ] have given fair warning.
and if they feel now that Trey
must gamble, they will shortly find
themselves in Jail. | do no; like
to arrest my fellow townsmen 70 r
doing that which they feel they
have right to, but the law says
it is felony, and as such it is my
duty to see that it is not COM
mitted.
Hereafter each report of losses
at gambling will result in a raid.
| may be right, and ] may b.
wrong, but as long as some cannot
see tit to obey the law. they must
take the consequences. am
earnest in what say. The first
indication in future that any
game is being played for money
will bring me and my officers down
on the players, and | give you my
word that each and every par
ticipant will go to Jail and be
prosecuted. There may be ten
arrests and nine acquittaIs but
that will make no difference.
shall continue making arrests until
instructed by the governor or the
attorney general to quit. Patience
and an attempt to be economical in
the bringing of expensive cases
ceased to be virtues. Here after
the law will be rigidly enforced,
and if my me,hod Of enforcing
tha law does not please well,
those dissatisfied are entitled to
try and repeal the law. This is
final"

GOVERNMENT MAY
CONSERVE FLOOD WATERS
OF HUMBOLDT RIVER

That Humboldt county has a
wonderful future through the
possibilities OF land reclamation
had been demonstrated by '..--
ment engineers who hav
the land and made m
cf the water flow OF the Humboldt
river the principal stream in the
State. 1t is not the normal flow
o. water that is now used to
irrigate the different ran hes along
the river but the surplus waters.
the greater part of which are now
practically going to waste. 1t is
understood. and the information
comes from reliable source. that
the recent tests made by the
government eHineers show that
there is water enough going to
waste each year if il properly
handled would raise crops suffici-
eEt to support at least a million
more population than Nevada has
at the present time. The Hum
bOl Il river traverses the State for
distance of nearly 400 miles and
during the spring of the year an
immense volume of water passes
down the sire am to the Humboldt
siTF, where it forms a large lake
amt finally cvaporates or sinks
into the ground. The Humboldt
river at this time of the year is a
comparatively small stream but in
the early spring & the river spreads
its banks al least lCO times its
natural width and under the
present system of irrigation this
water is allowed to go to waste as
thcr' is no means Of controlling
il.
Il is proposed hy the govern.
meat engineers TO conserve this
flOoi water by a series Of dams
and reservoirs covering the river
from one end to the other where il
is practicable to establish these
projects. The Humboldt valley
has the finest land in the State and
anything in the a agricultural line
can be produced if properly put
un cr irrigation and this is what
the government engineers propose
TO do. With the exception of
few favorable places along the
river the water at the present
time is used to irrigatc hay land
or big stock ranches and this is
accomplished by using the flood
waters without any great cxertion
on the part of the owncrs Of this
lanl With the government
irrigation project. as proposed Ivy
the engineers in operation where
now is only narrow strip of land
under irrigation. there will be
farms covering many miles Of
territory on each side Of the river.
This land is fine loamy soil
clDlble of producing moi only all
the agricultural products of the
temperate zone, but the different
varieties Of fruit as well. Hum

Oar answered was: Yes. The

The ball game SUNDAY after.
noon between the Elko and
Metropolis clubs attracted quite a
crowd to the ball ground. The
Metropolis team went to the bat
first and at the end of the first
inning the score stood two to
nothing in favor % the visitors Z.
But from this time on the Elko
boys pat it all over their oppon-
ents. AT the end of the 9th
inning for Metropolis and the
eighth for Elko the score stood 1s
to IL in favor of the home team.
The visiting club was weak in
field work which accounts in Il
srett noi'lre f1r the runs piled
up by the home team.

game to the satisfaction Of the
players. II was an orderly game

considerably. From the beginning to
the end of round after round the ex-
changes were hot aud rapid, and
there was not an idle moment
throughout the fight Potter scored
mostly with right swings and upper
cuts, and proved smarter than BuX in
avoiding punishment. BuX sent some
Earring lefts to the jaw, and twice his
right raised Potters head to an un-
comfortable angle. On the second oc-
casion the soldier looked somewhat
distressed, but promptly rallied and
continued to harrass BuX with pow
erful and unerring right. The Indian,
however, showed no signs of distress
from this treatment, and both men
were going strong at the finish, when
Potter was declared the winner amid
great applause.

KAPPA NOW
BALL CENTER

Garden Island: The Kapaa League
teams came together on the home dia-
mond last Sunday and dished up two
very classy games. The Laval bunch
rang up fourteen runs against the Hd-
waits who managed to squeeze in
three. While the score of fourteen to
three represents a rather one-sided
game, yet the game wore the ear
marks of an exciting game from start
to finish, there being rarely an occa,
sion for criticism of either teams
work. These two teams are showing
much improvement and before the
season is finished are sure to prove
foemen worthy of their steel
The game between the Fugis and
the p A. Cs was also most interest
ing throughout, though, too, in scores,
very similar to the two former scores,
the Fugis capturing the pennant with
a score of II to 4. These two teams
played with marked skill and showed
in many instances, a prowess at the
bat which bespeaks an interesting fu
ture for them.
Kapaa is perhaps the most progrcs
sive baseball center in the island to
day. Unfortunately in her big league
work during the past series, she is
taking the proper step to develop ma
terial for the next seasons work. The
organizing of the present minor
leagues will enable them to put mater
ial in the field next year that will pu
the big leagues percentage, in. tn,
coming year. at the top rung.

MAUI AWAITS
PORTUGUESE

Maui News: John Medeiros of
Paia has completed arrangements
with the Portuguese team of the
oahu league, to come over here and
play a couple of games against a
picked nine. The Portuguese team
have won the recent series in the
Oahu league and are considered the
champions of that league, and so are
now playing the best game of any
team which could possibly be brought
here.
The team that is to oppose them
should be the strongest possible ag-
gregation that could possibly be
chosen as they are to uphold the
.prestige of Maui on the ball field.
We understand the picking of a team
is to be left to the captains of the
different clubs jim the league, land
this is a wise move and we will get
a strong team.
The Portuguese team will arrive
here on Saturday, November A, and
will play three games, one on the
4th, 5th and 9Th.
Just as an experiment we will pick
an all-Maui team and see how near
our choice comedies with the choice
of the captains:
Catchers, Joe Clement and George
II. Cummings; pitchers, Henry Sylvia
and Ed Lindsay; first base, w. Bal;
second base, ]. Garcia; third base and
captain, c. e. Meyers; shortstop Har-
ry Motto; left field, H. Meyer; center
field, X. Smythe; right field, A. Rob-
inson; substitutes, A. Jackson and NJ.

The intercollegiate football season
opened ON Saturday at the Molil
ball ground with a game between the
College Of Hawaii and the Hish
School team. The former were victo-
rious by the score Of 21-O.
The game was interesting, but the
play as a whole was of a ragged ma
ture, though this defect will probably
be remedcd as the season gets older
and the players become better &C.
