SPORTING NOTES.
White Mills 80; Hawley II.

The White Mills basket ball team
journeyed to Hawley Friday night,
December 13, and there defeated the
Rink Five of that place by the score
of SO to IA. The game was fast, but
exceedingly rough on both sides.
The White Mills boys were consid-
erably handicapped, the game being
played under the Y. M. c. A. rules
which was something new for them,
and if the regular rules had been
used, the game no doubt would have
been too onesided to be interesting.
Eddie" Murphy, the Athletics star
outfielder, was taken sick after tif-
teen minutes of playing. Wenders
took his place as forward and Ell
more took Wenders' place in CEN
ter.
Although the Hawley boys put uI
stiff game, they were completely
outclassed at every part OF the
game.
White Mills has a fast team, ant
when in condition there is hardly
a team in the county that coulc
take their measure" The lineup

THE WISE INDIAN

Mr.. Indian is becoming wise and
the day Of progress is marching on
ward. A few. years ago it was
possible for the white brother to
buy his supply of pinenuts for q
few silver pieces and the exchange
of biscuit. That day is passed.
Mr.. Indian comes to town with his
crop Of nuts and they are sold at so
much a pound, and to so much is
pretty steep. He knows the read.
ing of the scales as well as his
sophisticated white brother.
The In,lian is yet wise on another
score For years he was content
with the willow pole to knock the
burrs from the tree. Not so any
more. He buys the tall bamboo
fish pole. 1t is lighter. straighter,
tougher and does the wo. k better.
The Indian with the long pole gets
the pinenut if not the persimmon.

SECRETARY WOULD

Hon. Frank MacVeagh, secretary
of the tire sury. yearns to make
money as beautiful as it is good.
His department has been in con-
sultation with some of the most
ooted artists in the country, and
the dollar is to be worthy of the
man if NOT above him. Without
crowding heights of finance beyond
our pedestrian power. we may
remind Mr.. MacVeagh and lis
designers that there is simple
way of ornamenting the dollar bill
and making happy "a snobless
people. Make a dollar bill look
like a twenty; even better like a
hundred. Then the heart of
millions will be satisfied and the
American people to be and not to
appear abundantly annotated

THE FAT ROOSTER

Very few people creGit chickens
with having much sense: but at
least enc young rootser proved
without doubt, that he was wiser
than he looked. This cokerel has
a habit of ruffiing up his feathers
during feeding time, and as he was
about twice as fat as the rest of
the fowls, his owner decided to
watch him and to try to find suit
the cause of his queer behavior.
One day, as the fowls sauntered off
after being fed, the rooster
carried his portly self to secluded
place by the wood pile, and shook
himself vigorously; whereupon
down fell more than halt pint of
grain which his rnffied feathers
had caught at feeding time. This
he proceeded to eat at iris leisure.
AS he continued to rutfle his
feathers and to saunter off to the
wood pile after meals and gained
in size daily, his owner had every
reason to believe that the rooster
had more than his share of common
chicken sense.

HON. KEY P|TTMAN

The Tonopah Miner pays the
following high tribute to Hon. Key
Pittman, democratic candidate for
United State Senator from Nevada:
Key Pittman has lived in
Tonopah for nearly eleven years.
and during all of that time he has
not only been active in the build
ing up of the camp, but has I'M
selfishly lent his services to the de-
velOpment of the whole state. and
particularly its mining industry.
The money that he has earned in
the state, he has invested in the
state. He has probably grub-s,ak-
ed as many prospectors as any man
who has ever resided in Nevada.
end there is not a little camp that
ever sprung up within its borders
that he has not assisted in its de-
velopment.
He has mined for twenty years.
in the States of Washington. Yukon
Territory, Alaska and Nevada.
He has served in the capacity of
mine owner and mine employe.
He has employed men and ne has
been employed as comon miner.
Through his own energies and
ability, he has risen in the State of
Nevada to place of pre-eminence
in legal, mining business and
financial circles. Tic stands today
at the head of his profession in the
state and his reputation is rec
ognized amung the leading
lawyers on both coasts. He has
assisted in the framing Of nearly
every democratic platform in the
state for the last ten years, and is
responsible, in great degree, for
the progressive laws now in our
statutes.
Mr.. Pittman has been rendered
many honors, but has accepted few.
He represented the State of Nevada
al the st Louis Exposition, and was
the appointee of the supreme court
of this 8 ate to the international
congress of jurists and lawyers held
At s4asAt exposition. He represented
the StAte of Nevada al the Lewis
and Clark Exposition and was one
Of the states representatives to
the national irrigation congress
held at Sacramento. His social
and private life is ideal, and his
Integrity has ALWAYS been unques-
toned. There Is no man in south
ern Nevada who is held in higher
respect or has more friends than
Key Pittman.
He knows the needs of the state,
and has the energy, ability and
lighting qualities necessary to
obtain legislation essential to such
needs.

Secretary w. F. Bogue FaVors Flam- ing Arc Lights and Changes Which Will Place from e5 te 70 in Heart of Citv

Befere the members of the executive committee of the court of common council on Monday evening, Supt. w. F. Begue made his report concerning the investigation made with a commit tee from the Norwich Business Mems association in Massachusetts cities. He recommended in the way of im- proving the street lighting in the cen ter that the present arc and incandes- cent lights within the limits of Frank lin, Willow, Broadway Shetucket, Wa ter and Main from Preston bridge to Thames square, be replaced with liam ing arc lights and that 25 additional flaming arc lights be placed, making total of from 65 to 70. They are about double the candle power of the present lights.
 There will be an additional $l,00O expense for the operating of these lights, but the appropriation will not be necessary for the coming year. since there remains a balance in the lighting department of enough to cover that for the ensuing year. The ex- pense of the new lights and their in stallation will be inside of S4.000, MT. Bogue stated. The recommendations were approved by the executive com mittee and will be acted upon by thc council at its meeting Friday evening.
