BIG INCREASE IN
AUTOMOBILES IN TEXAS

That ten thousand automobiles were
registered in Texas last year and that
the increased use of the automobile in
that state is so great as to necessitate
new legislation are points submitted
in support OF a bill about to be pre-
sented to the state legislature.
The increase in registration over
1911 is 65 per cent which gives Texas
of increased registration, West Vir-
ginia and Maine leading with las per
cent and l47 per cent respectively.
The new bill will call for state reg
istration. Registration is now by
counties with the result that reports
are made scatteringly and some so
late that no definite knowledge can be
obtained at any time of the actual
number of ears in use.
The need of better legislation has
also been felt by the larger cities
where the increase in the number OF
automobiles has been much greater
than in the country districts. Dallas
for instance. shows an increase of over
100 per cent, within year.
Automobile accidents increased 10
such an extent in Dallas that the city
council after an investigation passed
a new warning signal ordinance for
the most effective means of preven-
tion. The ordinance provides for the
use of an automobile warning signal
with an abrupt note, sufficiently loud
TO be heard under all conditions Of
trafic;n and the measure further stip-
ulates that it shall be unlawful to use
such signals except when necessary to
sound a warning of danger. In enact
ing this ordnance Dallas followed the
lead of Houston, Texas. Measures to
the same effect are also in force in
Chicago, Cincinnati, Newark, Jersey
CITY. Sioux City, st. Louis, Los An
geles, Seattle, San Diego, Memphis,
Louisville, Atlanta, Denver, st. Paul,
Philadelphia, Des Moines, Dubuque
and Portland.

WINNEMU((A HIGH SCHOOL

the latter part of the week. Miss Alice
Wagner took fourth place, reciting
Brier Rose.
In the tennis tournament Misses
Evelyn Sheehan and Nina Roundtree
lost to Lovelock, by score of to IL.
This was considered due to a lack of
practice on the part of the home team,
as they have only been playing this
season, while their opponents have had
the advantage of two or three years
playing. The young ladies then play

breaking even. Reno defeated Love-

SCHUBFRTS DUE
HERE TOMORROW

The Schubert Symphony company
viii appear cat the Nixon opera house
tomorrow evening, in one-night en-
gagement. This is one of the best
musical aggregations on the road and
should be seen by all lovers of fine
music. In speaking of its visit TO
tnelr city recently, a Salinas, Califor.
ma, exchange has the following to
say:
The recital concert, musicale or
whatever one may choose to call IL
that was given in this city last night
at Foresters' hall drew a large crowd
ana while the hall was not packed vet
the crowd fitted comfortably into the
building 1t was treat to hear the
Schuberts in their vocal and instru-
mental numbers, for every number
was gem by itself and the entire
program pleased and delighted all who
heard it. 1t would be difficult task
TO select any one star for all the mem
bers of the club scientillated brightly
and they formed a constellation of
stars that served to keep the large
audience in continual mood of
praise.
Thomas Valentine Purcell. as a
violinist had absolute command of
the bow and bridge, his mastery of
the violin is complete and his num-
bers were received with continual ap-
plause. The ladies quartet was a
grand success in its harmonious num-
bers. while LOWE Zendf Purcell the
contralto, and Miss Leeta Corder, the
soprano, both had clear voices in their
solos that brought forth applause
from the audience. After responding
to an encore for her number on the
program, Miss Corder was later called
upon by special request. She responded
with beautiful and highly appreciat-
ed selection, "Villa- Nelle.' The audi
ence showed due appreciation of the
response to the request.
The program was rich with pleas
ing numbers and every moment of the
recital was highly enjoyable.
The Native Daughters deserve
thanks for securing such a high class
entertainment and il is to be hoped
that the Schuberts will come back
again and that more of their class of
entertainers will reach Salinas. Mrs.
b. A. Soberanes, as president of Aleli
parlor, had charge, being ably as
sisted by all members of the parlor.
II Is with pleasure that the Demo
crat notes the size OF the audience, for
there were very few vacant seats in
the hall. Come again.

CAMEL
With SELLS-FLOTO

Few people are aware of the fact
that a swift camel can pace faster
than the ordinary race horse. The
Sells F1oto circus people did not even
know that themselves until one of
their men one day last winter hitched
ASIA the baby camel born to the
circus two years ago, to an ordinary
speeding wagon. 1t was a compare
lively easy task to break the little
fellow to harness and as the circus
was wintering at Overland park at
Denver, he was logged around the
race track.
It soon became evident that "Asia -
was troubled with speed. In a couple
of weeks he could shuttle along beside
the fast trotters when they were jog
giging pretty fair clip and one day
he was asked to go through the stretch
at speed. 1t is claimed by those who
saw the performance that he completed
the distance in thirty-s seconds,
which is a 2:24 clip. just exactly
what the limit of his speed is, has not
been ascertained because he is only
a wo-year-old colt. He will be seen,
however, both in the parade and at
each performance Of the Sells-F1oto
circus when he will appear and give
an exhibition of his speed on the hip
podrome.
The Sells Floto circus is billed to
visit Winnemucca on Saturday, May
H. The price of admission still re-
mains 25 cents. And there are seats
this year for 10000.

LARGE QUANTITY OF MICA
USED FOR DECORATION

Large quantities of scrap mica
email sheets and the waste from the
manufacture of sheet miea-are
ground for different uses, among which
are the decoration of wall paper ana
the manufacture of lubricants, fancy
paints and moulded mica for electrical
insulation, according to the United
States Geological Survey. orouhu
mica applied to wall paper gives
silvery luster. When mixed WIN
grease or oils finely ground mica forms
an excellent lubricant for axeis anu
other bearings. Mixed with sheilac OF
special compositions ground miea Is

in insulators for trolley wires. urouhu
mica for electrical insulation must De
free from metallic minerals. Mica
used for fabrication should be free
fro gritty matter. For wall PaPel
and brocade paints ground mica wlth
a high luster is required, and suen
luster is best obtained by using
clean, light-eolored mica and grihuins
it under water. Coarsely ground OF
"bran' mica is used in increasing
quantities to coat the surface OF com.
position roofing material to prevent
the tar or other ingredients used IN i's

OLD TUS(AR0RA MINING
CAMP STILL ON The MAP

John A Gill is in town today, look
ing after traffic matters in the inter
est of the Southern Pacific company.
He has just returned from Tusearora,
via auto, and reports the old mining
camp that has produced forty millions
in gold and silver as still on the map
and no doubt has plenty of good ore
that will be mined sooner or later.
He claims the good people of that
section are very optimistic of the
camps future, besides the merchants
do a good trade with prosperous ranch
ers north of uscarora, as the district
shows great opportunities for agricul-
ture. The Spanish ranch. that markets
about ten thousand head of beef cat
tie annually, is near Tuscarora, besides
other big ranches of note. The sheep
and wool industry is also big asset.
The auto trip is very interesting
and the road is in good condition for
a mountain highway In some parts
the scenery is grand.
