VOLUNTEERS GYM
WILL Be UNDER
NEW DIRECTORS
REORGANIZATION OF THE GYM
NASlUM ADJOINING THE
FIRE STATION.

The Volunteer Fire Department has
taken firmer hold of the gymnasium,
with the intention of making it re-
sort where nothing but the best form
of amusement may be had. The free
baths to members will be continued
and a closer scrutiny of those who
use the place win be exercised, with
the intention OF excluding all obiec-
tionable characters. This much was
decided on at meeting of the mem
bers last Saturday night, when
Walter Coffey was elected director
and instructor as TO the future course
of management.
New officers were elected, as fol-
lows: President, Percy Oke; vice
president, R. Harris; secretary, Scott
Mullen: treasurer. C. Hammond; di-
rectors, P. Oke, r. Harris, d. King,
F. Darragh and Scott Mullen.

STREET REPAIRS
BADLY NEEDED
ON BROUGHER
CROSSINGS LAID ON MAIN, BUT
OTHER STREETS ARE
NEGLECTED.

1t took a three-day storm TO arouse
the town trustees to the necessity for
providing street crossings on Main
street concession that was gladly
welcomed by pedestrians, but the
men who did the work did II so thor
oughly that the streams from Bryan
avenue were carefully guided down
the sidewalk and the street left dry
Had a little common sense been ap-
piled the laborers would have left
an outlet for the storm waters and
conducted them into the regular chan
mel.
The condition of Brougher avenue
above Central street is one that ap-
peals to the public as place where
some effective work could be done to
correct the evils of bad roads. For
three days people using that thorough
fare have had to wade ankle deep in
mud. No attempt has been made to
relieve the huge ponds Of their sur
plus water and the result is that the
street has been converted into>a per
feet slough A little ditching and a
few loads OF broken rock would
work wonders The chuck holes would
no longer serve as a place of lodg
ment for filthy water and household
ers would have a chance to keep the
sidewalk space free from the flood
The cost of the Improvement would
be trifling. as the West End dunn
is within fifty feet of the worst part
of the street and that company offers
all the broken stone that may be re
quired for repairs or grading. The
more that is taken the better the
mining company will feel about II
Twenty loads of rock would worl
wonders on street that is the ap
proach to the best residence section
and two of the leading places Of en-
tertainment.

WASHTUBS FLYING THROUGH SPACE
STRIKE HIGH TENSION POWER LINES
AND BRING DARKNESS TO TON0PAH

filled with flying missiles. Three
washtubs landed on the high tension
wires Of the power company and
short circuited them so effectually
that every light in 'Tonopah was ex-
tinguished in a second.
A ballooning stoyepipe blew out the
transformer at the Gregovich corner
and the Mine Operators hospital and
a few other houses In that vicinity
were dark for the remainder Of the
night. An examination this morning
disclosed the fact that the trans
former was not as badly damaged as
expected and few hours work re-
stored It to commission.
Manager Bruce says over fifty
stacks were blown away and, at his
house. near the new high school, the
chimney piece came down through
the roof and broke every chandelier
in the house
In the White mountains five or SIX
slides came down, but none of them
were Of large dimensions and inter
ruptions on their account were less
than expected One break occurred
close to the emergency station OF
Roberts, where trouble shooters are
stationed during the winter months
and was repaired in a few minutes
by daylight every division was re
ported to be in good running order
Manhattan division had the hardest
blow Twenty-one poles were taken
down on the low tension line between
here and Round Mountain. The
snowfall at Manhattan was the heav
lest since 1905 and the roads were
rendered impossible
