COURT HELD TODAY
BY JUDGE MORAN

Judge Moran, of Reno, arrived in
town this morning and is holding a
term Of court today for Judge Ducker,
who is presiding at the TRAINER trial
in Reno.
This morning two applicants were
admitted to citizenship and another
application is being heard this after
noon. The Federal government, which
has assumed supervision Of all natural
ization proceedings, is represented by
F. N. Littleton, of the department Of
commerce and labor, with headquart-
ers at San Francisco.
One or two probate matters will be
brought to the attention of Judge
Moran this afternoon, but it is prob
able that all business will be complet-
ed before adjournment this evening,
which will permit the Judge to return
to Reno on No. 3.
To a Silver State representative, to-
day, Judge Moran stated that this was
his first visit to Winnemucca in 18
years. At that time he was employed
on the Southern Pacific and made this
terminal his headquarters.

NIXON HOME FOR
WEEK OR ten DAYS

Senator George s. Nixon returned to
Reno Sunday from Washington on a
week or ten days business trip. In
discussing the situation at Washington
with Reno newspaper man, the
Senator had the following to say:
This extra session has been very
trying he continued. "Things are
at skies and sevens and little seems to
be accomplished. The Democrats con.
troll the house, and nobody seems to
control the senate. The Republicans
are supposed to be in the majority, but
sort of guerilla warfare is being car
ried on which keeps everybody guess
ing as to what is going to happen next.
1T is doubtful if the reciprocity
bill will pass, although President Taft
is exerting every energy to carry it, 1t
is barely possible that it will have to
be abandoned finally and its objects in
cluded under a new general tariff act.
President Taft will unquestionably
be the Republican nominee for presi-
dent at the next election. He has
made sterling executive, one who
does not decide upon course until he
has considered it from all angles. In
the east, the Democrats seem to favor
Woodrow Wilson, although Speaker
Champ Clark has great strength.
Harmon s boom seems to have faded
considerably of late. Many Democrats
would like to see ticket headed by
Wilson and Clark, but it is doubtful if
Clark would accept a secondary posi-
tion.
1.-The extra session will probably
drag along until the next regular ses-
sion, with probably short intermis-
sion to enable members to return to
their homes. Congressman Roberts is
getting along fine and has already OBJ
tanned substantial recognition among
his colleagues

AUTO PARADE
TO Be A FEATURE

A prize of $40 will be presented to
the best Illuminated automobile in
the auto parade on the evening of
July 3, according to an agreement
reached last evening at the meeting
of the executive committee of the
Washoe 50th anniversary. 1t is ex-
pected that over fifty automobiles will
be in line and the parade will be one
of the unusual and most interesting
features of the celebration.
On the evening of July A the Mardi
Gras parade will take place and prizes
will be awarded the most grotesqus
group and also to individuals. All
kinds of comedy stunts are looked for
in this parade as many persons are now
perfecting plans for unique costumes
1t will be an evening of enjoyment for
in addition to the dancing on the plat
form to be built on the plaza, bands
will be stationed at two different parts
of the city and dancing will be enjoyed
On the pavement, which will be swept
clean for the occasion.
Advices received from Butte, Mont,
where Eugene Ely recently made a
series of aviation flights, stated. that
the world-famous aviator furnished
plenty of thrills for the thousands who
witnessed his revolutions. His feats
were performed hundreds of feet up
in the air and the record for attend
ance at the park where the aviation
exhibition was held was broken.
Ely will arrive in Reno on the morn
ing of July 4 and his exhibitions will
be given during the afternoon. A
space fifty feet in length has been
cleared at the Riverside park and it
will be from this spot that he will
make his assertions and landings. The
altitude of Reno will have no effect
upon the birdman's craft. He will fly
or receive no compensation, for this
was the agreement entered into when
the contract was signed, and was in
sisted upon by Ely's manager, who
stated that the attempts Of amateurs
to aviate had hurt the business and it
was the idea to give the people Of
Nevada their moneys worth.-Journal.

son, alias George Thompson, alias
Racevich, wanted in Reno on charge
of murder, did not leave here today

BUMPER WHEAT CROP
IN THE INLAND EMPIRE
Especial to the Silver State.)

\OpcCldi 10 tue ollVST otdtc.J
SPOKANE, WASH, June 27.-Re-
ports received by local bankers and
millers from country correspondents
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana indicate that the wheat crop
in the Inland Empire this year will be
about 65,000,000 bushels, the largest in
the history of the district. The figures
show the crop in Is counties in east
ern Washington will be 39,000,000 in
round numbers, as compared with 34,-
$4,000 bushels in 1909. This state
ment is confirmed in a late Federal
crop report, which shows 72l, AL acres
in winter wheat and $4,000 acres in
spring wheat in Washington, the per-
centages being SO and 81 perfect, re-
spectively The respective averages
for a period of 10 years are 93 and "a
per cent perfect. 1t is reported the
crop will be about two weeks late.
Commissioners of horticulture in the
Pacific northwestern states report that
the fruit crops will be above the aver
age. The apple crop will not be as large
as in 1910, but it is likely the prices
viii be higher. Pears, peaches and 9th
er furits will be plentiful in most of
the districts.
American Flour Too High for China.
"China will have to look to other
markets, probably India, for it's flour
supplies in the future, if the price of
American four remains above $40 a
barrel after the next harvest,' de-
clared Kwan Kai of Hong Kong, called
"the flour king OF China who was
in Spokane recently accompanied by
Moy Back Hui, millionaire Chinese
consul at Portland, and J. ID. Arm
strong of Tacoma. Mr.. Kai said he is
on prospecting tour over the Pa.
cifc slope country, adding that because
of the failure in many parts of the
Chinese empire of the rice crop and
prospects for cheaper wheat in the
northwestern and Pacific states he be-
lieves the exports of grain to China the
next IL months will be larger than
ever. After visiting various parts of
Washington, Oregon. Idaho and Mon
tana, Mr.. Kai announced, he will
make tour of the United States at
the instance of the Viceroy of Canton
to inquire into the American library
system. The visitor was resident of
San Francisco from 1870 to 1891, when
he returned to his native lana.

IN A CLOSE finish

The Winnemucca ball team left for

panied by number of fans who de-
sired to witness the game. "Shorty'
Brown was taken along in the dual
capacity of "mascot' and "rooter -
The game was called at 3 p. m,
with goodsized crowd in attend
ance. Winnemuucca won the toss-up
and went to bat, but that was all. The
three men were quickly put out, when
the alfalfa tossers took possession of
the bats, but met the same fate. The
second inning passed without tally,
when Shorty began to exhibit
signs of extreme nervousness, but in
the third two runs were scored by the
Winnemucca team, and he appeared
somewhat reassured.
At the beginning of the eighth, the
score stoon 9 to 4, in favor of Love-
lock, and things were looking blue. At
this juncture "Pi' Bonnifeld consult
ed Shorty and told him that
something had to be did, and that in
a hurry. Arising to the occasion
Shorty" turned flip flop, demolish-
ing section Of the grand stand, and
from that time on it was easy. Re
spending to the mascot g heroic ef

themselves together and piled up six
runs in the eighth, placing the score
at 10 to 8, at which it remained.
