Editor Bonanza:
Being one of the judges in the dec
lamation contest for boys at the Uni
versity of Nevada on June I'd, ] want
to correct the impression you are apt
to convey in your statement regard
ing the three boys mentioned in this
contest.
Byron Alan was clearly winner of
the first prize without one dissenting
opinion among the judges.
My rating, however, tied Lavoy
Davis, of Tonopah, with Jacobs, of
Reno, who were so close to Becker,
of Winnemucca, that you could well
say the three of them were deserving
of equal praise. but do not include
Byron Alan, of Goldfield, as he was
clearly in a class alone. Yours,

SYDNEY, June Vivid scenes,
eliminating in a pillow fight and fis-
ticuffs, marked a recent all night
sitting of the Australian parliament.
Because the opposition continued OBJ
struction tactics, the government de-
cided on an all night sitting, and
the government whip provided the
ministerialists with pillows and blan-
kets. The Laborites, who were not
so comfortable, trying to sleep with
books as pillows and newspapers as
blankets, commenced removing the
blankets and pillows from their slum-
bering opponents and a battle royal,
recalling nursery days, was the re-
suit. The melee nearly became a
riot, when a labor member struck
the government whip on the jaw
Efforts were made to separate the
fighters and soon almost the whole
membership of the house was rolling
on the floor. wrestling. hitting and
clawing.l Finally the antagonists
were separated and the blankets re
stored to their rightful owners. The
debate then proceeded until the gov
eminent forced a vote, while two o.
the labor members were out of the
room The house adjourned after {
twenty hours sitting.
