CARSON CITY, New, Jan. 3o-The
twenty-seventh session of the Nevada
legislature promises to 90 down in his
tory as one unique In the display of in
terest manifest by each sex for the
other. Each seems determined to
safeguard the other by removing all
pitfalls, stumbling blocks, and tempta-
tions which might beset the way, and
IT each is successful 4. its missionary
work for the other, such purity and
perfection will be IegisIated into the
people of Nevada that they will be con-
verted into an order Of celestial beings
ranking next above the seraphim in
the celestial hierarchy, and having
four wings of Variegated color.
A delegation of good women are in
Carson City bent upon removing from
the pathway of man those certain OBJ
stacles in the way of race ponies,
divorces, and solo games, which de-
tract from the loftier and purer
thoughts, occupations and endeavors
They are self-sacrificing and charitable
to the last degree inasmuch as they
seek not for their own sex legislative
enactments conducive to feminine
health, moral and physical.
And the men, awakened to sense of
duty by the unselfsh interest of the
women, are determined - reciprocate
most beautifully and effectively. The
women are not to be neglected, and
to this end bills are in course of pre-

STORM COUNTRY
Wonderful PhotopIay, With Mary Pick.
ford, At Bradley Opera
, House Tomorrow

Mrs. Bradley. manager of the Brad
ley Opera House. has some extraordi-
nary good news for lovers of the
movies this week She has announced
that she will show at the Bradley to-
morrow night. the wonderful picture.
Tess or The Storm Country" In five
parts. In this picture Mary Pickford
has attained the greatest dramatic tri-
umph that has yet distinguished her
career. Tess of the Storm Country"
the drama of woman's unconquer-
able faith written by a woman who
knows her sex, will appeal to the en-
tire feminine portion OF the world
and the other half. The story OF Tess
with her quaint philosophy OF life, at
once humorous and pathetic. is one
of the most powerful lcharacterizations
ever conceived. Tess is an elemental
type of womanhood a primitive heart
struggling with modern conditions and
the delicate tortures of civilization.
The theme is full of uplift and the dra-
matte situations often force a tear of
which one need not be ashamed.
Mary Pickford, as Tess, the ragged
little squatter girl, dirty but beauti-
full. rude, wilful. saucy. but noble and
self-sacrificing renders portrayal of
inexhaustible fascination.
This great picture will no doubt be
received with great enthusiasm in Ell
ko as 1t has in every city 1t has been
shown in.

TWO last mentioned were reelected
to the positions they formerly held.
1t was announced at the meeting
that f. X. Karrer, the principal and
teacher in the high school, had pre-
viously been elected by the old board.
There was spirited protest by
large number of parents against
the removal Of Miss Camille Pad
dock, but the board acted upon the
request Of Principal Karrer, who
recommended her removal.
In removing Miss Paddock, or,
rather. in refusing to re-elect her,
the board did not act unanimously,
p. A. knowlton, the newly elected
member of the board wanted Miss
Paddock, but Mrs. Zimmerman and
j. E. Moody, the other two members,
stood by the principals recommen-
dations.
Mayor Nerland was present at the
school meeting, and he announced
that he was there in behalf Of the
council to inform the directors that
the city was threatened with a suit
<or damages unless Miss Paddock
should be reelected He had been
told by a certain attorney, he said,
that Miss Paddock had been hired
for two years. under a contract, and
that the city would be forced to
keep her. However, he explained
that he was not attempting to die
tate to the school board, but simply
to inform them Of the threatened
litigation.
Director Moody explained that
Miss Paddock had signed no con-
tract and that, therefore, she had
no grounds for her contention that
she could not be dismissed,
= 1t had been planned to elect an
additional teacher this year but lack
of funds prevented it. The salaries
for the teachers was fixed at $175
month, which is $25 more than
for last year

I anana Club Stops
Selling Liquors

Owing to d recent decision of
the United States court OF appeals
in San Francisco, to the effect that
social clubs in Alaska must obtain
saloon licenses before selling intoxi-
eating liquors, the Tanana club of
this city has ceased to sell liquors.
This decision was reached at a
meeting of the trustees Of the club
neld "Wednesday night.
1t was not originally understood
that clubs in Alaska would have to
pay licenses, if they sold liquors to
members only. but an action was
taken in Valdez to determine the
right of club there to sell liquors
without a license. That case went
to the court of appeals and was
decided few weeks ago against
the club.

RIGGS SIAKlS

nd thereafter.

appropriate all that will be neces-
sary for the seasons work.
It is planned to ship much of the
construction equipment for the road
