TRACK ANO FIELD MEET

Stanford University, March S.
Great preparations are being uade
for record breaking champion
ship Stanford Interscholastic track
and field meet and tennis tourna-
ment which will be held here on
April IL. Not only are the pro-
spects. good for excellent marks to
be made on the Stanford clnder path
which is the fastest on the coast,
but numerous ideas and novelties
have been introduced this season
to make the meet the biggest
success in the history of the annual
gathering. Already many shcools
have signified their intentions of
being represented and the number
of entries will undoubtedly break
all previous records.
Schools that are not numerically
strong, but which have one or two
good athletes, are urged to send
them, as the Association desires
competition between athletes of all
schools rather than a meet of few
stars from relatively small por-
tion of the schools Of the state.
The schools are also requested to
have their athletics reach the cam
pus the day preceding the meet
and allow them to stay until the
day following the meet. During
thier stay they will be the guests
of the men of the University.

BIG RANCH TO Be SUBDIVIDED

The Douglas ranch on the cast
shore of Washoe Lake is to be sub.
divided into smaller ranches. This
vast acreage is one of the most
productive spots in Nevada, coupled
with a milder climate than most of
our valleys for it is hemmed iE by
mountains, thus making it an ideal
spot for ranching.
A few years ago Glib Douglass
deciued to pump water from Was
hoe by steam power for irrigation
and it proved so successful that
he ran a branch power line from
Virginia City to his pumping sta
ton. Mr.. Douglass was not. con-
tent, however with buying power,
so he constr ucted power line
from Storey Lake to his farm,
using the waters of Ophir Creek
for his power. About $500 acres
of land is available, mostly under
cultivation. from which a vast
amount Of sugar beets, besides
alfalfa and grain, were raised last
year.
This subdivision will bring fifty
families into Washoe Valley, which
will mean much to that prosperous
section.

THE SPEEDING PONIES

The Carson News says Senator
Heffernan of Esmeralda wants to
see the good old horse-racing days
again in the state and to this end
yesterday in the senate introduced
an amendment to the gambling law
which will make it all right and
proper, should the bill carry, to
conduct Paris mutuals at horse
racing, providing the commission
charged thereon shall not exceed
two and half per cent. Should
this bill carry we may look to See
the racers Of the west galloping
along our tracks and the state
filled up with men who like to see
the ponies make money 60. Some
thing is desired to take the place of
the late lamented divorce act to
make the breeze blow.

SHERIFF TURNS HIM LOLSE

Last Thursday evening Sheriff
Harris received phone to 60 to
South Fork at once and arrest a
murderer. The good natured sheriff,
after riding in his auto all night
to reach the scene of carnage,
found that no murder had been
committed. He found that E.
E. Noonan, who was the butter
maker at the creamery, was in a
state of abject terror over an as
sault which probably never occurred
He had locked and barred the
doors of the creamery building to
keep his imaginary foes out and
had fired a few shots into the wall
to frIghten all comers.
The sheriff brought the man to
Elko and lodged him in Jail over
night. Today he appears perfectly
rational and he was released from
custody. He shook the dust of Elko
County from his feet and took No.
3 on his way to his brother in
Oregon. 1t is said that he had
some trouble with a girl and as
she was seen leaving the creamery
few minutes before the outbreak
it is suspected that the woman in
the case" had something to
do with his hallucination. With
what little information there is
available it looks very much as if
the demented fellow was the victim
of a practical joke perpetrated
by rival for the affections IF the
winsome maid.
