NATIONAL MINER OPENS
WINNfMU((A CAMPAIGN

In its last issue the National Miner
fires the first gun of the Winnemueca
municipal campaign. Frequently men
at a distance can take a steadier view
of political conditions in a town than
those living there. The article in
question follows:
The city of Winnemueca by legis-
lative enactment will become an in
eorporated municipality. The law
provides for the commission form of
government and the regulation Of
municipal affairs on non-partisan
basis The commission form looks up
on public affairs as "A great business
concern and purely in the business
sense adapts the public veal For the
administration of such affairs it pre-
supposes man at the head of at
fairs. man of the capacity, who
has made business success and who
has the executive ability TO handle
in a prudent. business-like manner the
bsuiness matters which essentially are
a public concern.
Since the legislature has made a
provision for such a conduct Of city
or municipal affairs at Winnemucea,
il is well for the nonpartisan spirit
TO take an inventory of its capable
residents and unitedly select men for
mayor and councillors who will size
up to the non-partisan business stand
ard of public officials.
The Miner has in view for mayor
of Winnemucca snch a man of great
business capacity and ability as Geo.
w. Summerfeld. Summerfield is one
o. Winnemucca 5 old-time residents.
He is "a capable man and IN all the
attributes that tend to make sane,
sensible executive for the city OF
Winnemueea he is an ideal selection
Symmetrical would regard such
trust in the spirit of public office is a
public trust.
For councillors no mistake VIII pe
reade if such men as Jerry Sheehan,
=. T.. l.. Windle. w. J. Bradley, PM
Tlvme and j. F. Grandel are selected
The commission form of govern.
rent supposes that the people wii
select men of such ealiber and 1T IS
undoubtedly a consummation that the
people will pursue such course at
the forthcoming election in "lnne-
mueca.

INSTRUCTIVE HIGH SCHOOL
LECTURE WEDNESDAY MIGHT

Oliver Wendell Holmes once asked
a scientific friend how soon it would
be possible for him to "buy a pint of
horse power at the corner grocery -
This eoneeit Of the genial philosopher
does not seem such miracle when we
reflect upon the new revelation in
physical science-radium- enor-
nous energy and nearly everlasting
potentiality that are stored in so small
a space. If the energy that radium
is calculated to exert in 100000 years
could be concentrated in few DAYS,
an ounce of radium would drive a 80
horse power motor car around the
world at thirty miles per hour; or, a
framme (less than l-30th Of an ounee)
would raise 500 tons mile high.
Charles Allen Mum, editor of the
Scientific American, says "Radium is
destined to disturb the equipoise of
our leaders of science and shake our
whole system of chemical physics to
its very foundation.
Prof. Patty brings apparatus and
several tubes of this remarkable min
eral to show our people next Wednes-
day night at the High school assembly
room and will provide an evenino of
experimentation long to be remember

wonders of liquid air and wireless

SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS
OPENS IN SAN FRANCISCO

In speaking of the opening of Sells
lloto circus in San Francisco on
Thursday, yesterdays Chronicle has
the following to say
i" Following a morning parade that
attracted its share of attention as it
moved along the downtown thorough
fares, the Sells-Floto circus opened
its local engagement in the big lot at
Market and Eleventh streets yester-
day afternoon, Long before the open
ing of the show every seat under the
mammoth tent was occupied, hundreds
of children predominating in the large
MAY day audience.
"This years Sells Floto show is
considerably better and snappier than
that of last year. No circus program
ever offered more circus novelties or a
more varied performance. There is no
baby elephant this year and no great
geological display, but every animal in
the menagerie is performing beast,
and tigers and equally feroeious-look-
ing African lions. No deadwood in
the way of animals is carried by the
circus.
"Despite the billboard advertising,
which displays feats of unprecedented
daring by aerobats and other perform
ers. the real features of the show are
the elowus-forty-th of 'em-the
educated horses and the equestriennes.
The clowns are funny. Their stunts
are right up to the minute. The
horses lean decidedly toward the high

only show their skill in the saalie huo
are sumptuously costumed and gen
erallv fair to look upon.
"Circus novelties are provided by
the ROYAL Scotch Kitty band of Toron-
to, Canada, and the Devlin Luaves.
The Scotch musicians parade once
around the outer ring, PLAYING bag
pipe melody in manner SPIRITED
enough to inspire even the label IN
bottle of Scotch and the Zaves-an
old Orpheum act by tae way dash
through an intricate drill with an ex-
hibition of ginger that wins them
abundant plaudits.
The Circus Thriller
"Featured among rhe galaxy OF
women riders are the Stickpev SISTERS,
Emily and Emma and Estr "a Hobst n.
These three make Their steA1s 10 ust

Margaret Ricardo, who steps right in

HIGH-QASS VAUDEVILLE
AT THE NIXON NEXT Wt[K

The leading feature, and one of the
best that has been at the Nixon opera
house in many months, is the great
Irish ventriloquist, Captain J. D.
Powers. He is probably one of the
best ventrloquists on the stage and
has kept the houses in an uproar
wherever he has appeared with his re-
markable performance. The act is
greatly aided by some splendid scenic
effects, not the least of which is the
Sarge vessel which sails across the
stage at the conclusion of the act.
In addition there will be four reels
of moving pictures.

CROPS FLOURISH
IN GRASS VALLEY

Grass valley is beginning to take on
the appearance of an agricultural com
munity, in strong contrast to its for
mer condition of sagebrush and sand.
Grain sowed this spring is up several
inches. although its growth has been
considerably retarded by the killing
frosts of the past ten days. NJ b.
johnson has in 40 acres of wheat and
barley, James Edmunds 30 acres of
oats, August Bohnert 30 acres of bar
ley and Ralph Shipman 90 acres of
oats.
Mr.. Bohnert sowed his grain Just af-
ter the last rain and expects to have
well and pump by the time the grain
needs irrigating.
At present NJ. B. johnson has a g.
inch pump that will lift $50 gallons a
minute. but has ordered a 5-inch pump
that will lift $50 gallons per minute.
With this he expects to irrigate 100
acres.
James Edmunds sent in an order
with Mr.. johnson for two 6-inch cen
trifugal pumps, which are expected to
arrive in time for the next irrigation.
James Edmunds has turned over the
operation OF MS Well-drllllng macnlne
to r. NJ. Edmunds. The first of the
week a 42-inch well was bored for
Ralph Shipman to a depth of so feet.
After the drill was pulled out the wa
ter came up to within ten feet of the
surface and cleared in an hour, which
is an indication that there is a
strong current of great volume.
Next week Mr. Edmunds will sink
wells for J. p. Grandel and August
Bohnert.
