PHOENIX CITIZEN
 SPANISH SCHOLAR
He Had a Reputation as Linguist
 to Sustain

A story is told of a Phoenix man who passel himself off for a linguist and made it stick; in other words. he Two eastern men contemplating a trip into Mexico in spite of the revolution, happened to meet Bill who it was learned was also going into Mexico. In reply to inquiries about his accomplish ments, Bill said he could speak the Mexican tongue better than the natives. He was the kind of a companion the tenderfeet wanted for they knew no Spanish.
 One morning after their arrival at a town on the other side of the border on a horse that called out their admir- ation. Say" said one of the Ameri- cans, How much will you take for the hOrse?" No comprendo.' replied the Mexican. Here" said one of them, "calI Bill: hel! get it out of him" Bill was called and told to inquire the price of the horse
 Hey, Hombre" yelled Bill, how mucho cabaIlo?"
 While that was not classic Spanish, it was intelligible and the Mexican re- piled ''cuarante pesas'
 Bill was stumped but he had his rep utation as a linguist to maintain. Af- ter momentary hesitation he enlight- ened his companions. You can't buy that horse at any price, the Mexican says; he's a pacer, a quarter horse and not for sale"

Advance Notice TO
Camp Fire FiGndS

Vernon Metcalf. supervisor of the
Toiyabe National Forest, has sent
out a number of circulars calling at
tention of the people of this part of
Nevada to the State and Federal
laws relating to statutes against the
building of fires on or near Govern
ment land and leaving them unex-
tinguished. There are strict penalties
provided for such acts and it is the
duty of forest officers to insist upon
the observance of the law.
Mr.. Metcalf states that he and
other officers would a great deal
rather avoid the necessity for in
stigating legal proceedings by giving
full instructions to all parties as far
as possible.
Consequently he has issued these
circulars and will send same to any
one making application. giving the
laws, the penalties (which u high
in fines) and rewards for arrest and
conviction of offenders, which are
very liberal.

Catholic Bishop For Nevada

Sparks Reporter: A welcome bit
of news that comes to us at this time
is the intention of the Catholic church
to place a bishop in this State. Ne
vada has grown to such proportions
that it is necessary to have a high
dignitary in the State. The domicile
of the bishop will be Reno. but his
jurisdiction will probably be cock
tensive with the boundaries of the
State.

China India Are Not
Causing Silver Rise

There is an exceedingly strong un-
dertone to bar silver in London and
a sharp advance in the next few
weeks would cause no surprise. says
the Boston News Bureau. Up to a
few days ago, estimates were that
81. 500, 900 to 81, 800. 900 silver was
in floating supply in London. Last
Friday it was found that actual float
ing supply was less than $3.50. 600.
India, usually a heavy purchaser of
silver, has made no purchases thus
far this season. Conditions in India
now, except in one of the many prov
inces, are much more favorable, and
it is expected India may come into
the market again soon. China has
unusually large stocks of silver owing
to slack condition of business. but
none is likely to find it way to Lon
don.
Trading in London is entirely on a
cash basis and thus far small in char
acter. The Bank Of England has
purchased a great deal of silver for
coinage, and the continent has also
purchased for 81 purposes.
These purchases have been small
daily, but constant, and sooner or
later will have marked effect.
In addition, there has been some
curtailment of silver production, es-
pecially in Mexico, which represents
about 80 per cent of American pro.
duction. This is having effect on
shipments to London from New York
and American Smelling & Refining
Company's stock of silver. melted
but unsold. is understood to be sub.
normal.

Milwaukee Couple Find Way TO Get

There was quiet little wedding up
at the office of Judge George w. Tay-
Tor on Saturday afternoon when Miss
Sidonia Wirth, who gave her home as
Somers, Kenosha county, was married
to Louis Ell. Koenig, assistant district
attorney of Milwaukee county. The
young couple came to Kenosha on
Saturday morning and they brought
with them a court order from Judge
Michael Blenski directing an immedi-
ate solemnization Of the marriage. In
the court order it was declared that the
bride was resident Of Milwaukee but
the application for the license gave
the village of Somers as her home. It
is just probable that the announcement
of the marriage will be considerable
of a surprise to the friends of the
bride and groom in Milwaukee. They
returned to Milwaukee Immediately
after the ceremony.
