PHONE LINE FOR USE
IN CASE OF FIRE

Commissioner Hoskins has had
telephone line installed between the
hose company's building and the Col
conda Telephone & Power company's
central office. The line is for use on
ly by persons who wish to ascertain
the location of a fire. AS is well
known most of the fire alarms are
turned in from the telephone office
In many cases when the volunteer fire
men reach the hose company's build
Ing they do not know the exact loca-
lion of the fire. By using the private
telephone line this information can
now be quickly obtained. 1t will help
materially in giving additional protec-
ton from fires.-Winnemucca Star.

PEACE OFFICERS
NOT DOING DUTY

Failure on the part of peace officers
To- cooperate with the governments
special officers, an inclination on the
part of some peace officers to hamper
and block the work of the special Off
Gers, and refusal of juries TO convict
on sufficient evidence when persons
other than the common run of hoboes
arc charged with selling whisliey to
, Indians arc elements which contrib.
uiC chiefly TO the growth of the liquor
traffic among the Indians of Nevada.
is the opinion of G.. II. Asbury, special
indian agent in this state. says the
Gazette.
Nevada Conditions Different.
No one will attempt to deny" said
Mr.. Asbury in discussing the matter.
/ That the more satisfactory way for all
concerned would be TO place the In
dams somewhere else. But the fact
remains that the Indians are here and
, that they have a right TO be here. They
were here before the white people
came. Also. there is no other place to
put them. In this respect Nevada In
dians are different from those in other
states who own their own lands and
homes. There are approximately 5000
indians in Nevada. They own land in
their own right that is capable of sup
porting not more than 1000. They re.
ceive no gratutities from the govern.
and in tho nj thn "ochnng
they have not been provided with a
reservation. There Is no way in which
the government can force the Piutes
or other Indians who have been allotted
! reservations to go on those reserva-
lions and stay.
No Support From Public.
The government has shown q dispo-
| ..ition to do all that it can to protect
| these Indians from the liquor traffic.
IL is a common occurrence for people
nf prominence to complain to the vari.
GUS Indian agents of Nevada, or to
IN" Officials n Washington and say

are only willing 20 say they know

will support charge. If one of their
neighbOrs, or any person Of particu.
| lar prominence in any community,
whe thCr he gives whiskcy to Indians
for profit or lust. Is arrested and plac.

in cases of this kind, no matter how
strong the evidence or dcmoralizing
our special officers have arrested

have given whiskey to sduaws, only

Special Officers Blocked.
"One of the most deDlorable feat
Ires Of the whole affair is that the
special officers are not helped. but in
many cases blocked by the local peace
officers In this connection ! wish TO
say that the chief OF police and the

DandruH Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid OF dandrun, for II will
starve your hair and ruin 1t IL you
don't.
IT doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash IL out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruf is to dissolve
It, then you destroy 1t entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
LIQUID arvon; apply 1t at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub It in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most II not all. of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of It,
You will find. too. that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop. and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces Is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This

on a performance that was equal to
the best vaudeville ever seen in Chick
asha. Miss Frances Riddle and D.ek

in the Vernon and Castle class, and
they made an immense hit. Mrs. T. R

Chickasha's most accomplished sing
ers, sang in their most charming man
ner, assisted by the chorus in Mrs.

ing everybody, and Bert Siddons, as
sisted by Misses Marion and Jean Nc

song, "Along Came Ruth" The whole
was wound up by the chorus with the
rollicking song, "All Aboard for Dixie"
and the curtain fell on a show that
was replete with pleasure for a well
filled house from start to finish.
A local orchestra furnished excellent
music for the occasion. Messrs. Low

ton the show was tagged, received
many compliments on their success
and all the performers were showered
with praise.
Now the postscript and the story is
over. Not because they were the least
important, but because they were the
smallest actors in the show and prob
ably made the most pronounced hit OF
