BALL TEAM
TO HAVE ANOTHER PITCHER

Charles Schorr, baseball pitcher of
some reputation, is expected in Winnie
mueca tonight or tomorrow from Reno.
There is no ground for complaint on
killilay's work, but a good reserve
pitcher will be needed later on when
games will be played oftener than once
a week. Manager Weseoatt is groom
ing his team for the hardest game of
the season next Sunday, when the
Elko team, one of the strongest in the
state, will be here for a return game.
Wlnnemncea won from them at Elko,
but by a close game and the Elko bows
feel certain they can trim the locals
on their own grounds. Without doubt
1t will be the hardest contest likely to
be seen in Winnemucea this season and
a record-breaking crowd is anticipated.
On Saturday, July 8, the first game
OF two-day tournament win be PLAYED
at Lovelock, between Winnemucca and
Fallon, the winner of that game to play
the Lovelock team on the Fourth.

STANDARD OIL co. GETS
EXPOSITION GOLD MEDAL.

Besides awarding gold medals to the
Standard Oil company California; ON
practically all of its products, the jury
of awards, Panama Pacific Information
al Exposition, has awarded a medal of
honor to the company on "its work
and policies,' and special medal of
recognition of the Standards conser-
vation work in the California oil fields,
it was officially announced at the
Standard Oil building yesterday.
Commenting on the "work and pol
icies" award, K R. Kingsbury, vice.
president of the company, said: "That
award applies specifically to the man
ner in which our company has dealt
with its employees. its customers aad
the public, and for the methods it has
developed in producing, transporting,
refining and selling petroleum.
Another award in which we feel a
deep sense of qualification, is the gold
medal for our conservation methods IA
the oil fields. This company has always
bent every effort toward eliminating
waste in the production of petroleum
and has initiated and placed in opera
tion many devices and methods tend
ing toward conservation and efficient
operation of oil wells.'

Bite UNNECESSARY FOR
TRANSMISSION OF RABIES

Editor Silver State:
A short time ago the state board of
health, in discussion of the hydropho-
bia question, as chronicled in the Sill
rer State, gave out the fact that sra-
bies or hydrophobia is an acute infec-
tious disease of carnivorous animals,
which may be transmitted to all warm
blooded animals. It's prevalence is un-
affected by climate or season. The sa-
Iva of a rabid animal contains the in
feetious material, and this fluid gaining
access to the tissue of another animal
through the bite wound of "a rabid am
NAL will transmit the disease. The in
feotious material may enter the body
through apparently uninjured skin, :"
etc.
There is no doubt but what the
above is all true, but there is strong
evidence at hand to indicate that it is
unnecessary to infiet a bite in order
to transmit the disease. Reports are
coming in from Oregon, Idaho and
other places to the effect that sheep,
geese and chickens show every symp-
tom of rabies and il is known beyond
"a doubt that some of these at least
have not been exposed to the disease
through direct contact with a rabid
animal. The logical inference is, that
the infected saliva from a rabid coyote
OF dog has been dropped on the prem
ises or just as likely been blown there
lin a dry statek by the wind. and the
sheep or other animals and fowls get
III on the grass, and by swallowing it
become inoculated There are several
cases that otherwise cannot be account
ed for. Why the same results should
ret attain from eating the virulent
froth as from the bite, is a remote
Question.
By the time the remainder of the
Ieoyotes and a few hundred dogs in
leach county become rabid and this in
fected froth is carried through the air
in dust form, to be breathed into the
lungs of all living creatures it NAV
then be too late to save some of the
higher up animals From the present
outlook, this may happen during the
next few months.

WOOL MARKET
REMAINS FIRM

The following letter regarding the
wool market has been issued by Bate
man & Co, Philadelphia wool mer
chants, under date Of June II:
The wool market is firm with a ten
dency towards higher prices .as the re
suit of very strong foreign markets
and high prices which are being paid
in the West for the new goods
A large amount of fine wool which
was imported during the winter and
spring from Australia and South Affi-
ca, has been sold during the past few
weeks, and the supplies of this class of
wool for sale have been very much re-
duced. New clip domestic woods have
been coming to the market slowly, but
manufacturers are showing an interest
in them, and it is evident that our
home grown woods will all be needed
notwithstanding the large importations
of foreign. In many cases these woods
will be blended with foreign stock in
order to maintain the uniformity of
the fabrics, and we believe that the
secured value of our good territory
wools will more closely approach the
selling basis of Australians than ever
before.
There has not been the usual demand
for woolen and worsted goods from
domestic sources so far this year. and
this policy of restricted buying, has
reduced the stock of goods in the
country to low point With the i'm
proved conditions in general business
and the prospects of good crops again
this year, we look to see a decided i'm
provement in the demand for goods
during the balance of the year.
Yours very truly,
J. BATEMAN & co.

CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL
TEACHING JOURNALISM

There was a pathetic as well as a
broadly humorous side to the exposure
il the San Francisco Chronicle of the
Vaccinations of an Eastern literary
syndicate, which undertakes to make
an income earning newspaper contrib
utor out of "anyone who is old enough
to write intelligent English and also
able to write a check payable to the
said syndicate in the amount of two
dollars. The comedy of the imposition
and its farcical possibilities were so
tempting there was no mention of the
fact that most of the people likely to
be deceived by the circular are among
the least able to afford even so small
an outlay. They are impressed by the
prospect of supplementing their small
salaries and, therefore, make what is
to them fairly considerable sacrifice
for which the only reward is realiza-
tion of the truth that whenever too
much is offered for the money, the
money is too much for what is offered.
Newspaper men were naturally anus
ed at the announcement that emo mat
ter how humble or how exalted your
position in life may be-" YOU can make
good money in your leisure moments
writing for the press. Tt made them
wonder whether they had not commit
ted the mistake of devoting their lives
instead of only their leisure moments
to writing.
These hardened offenders were woll
aware that emo great literary skin, no
polished style of writing is required I"
They We're even prepared to admit that
IL is mistake to believe that YOU
must be endowed with genius for lit
erary work. What completely paral-
wed them was the statement that you
can live where You choose. work when
you will and rest when YOU please
But these circulars were not intended
for people who have the remotest idea
Of newspaper work They are the mo
lasses to catch the flies which have
never seen the inside of a newspaper
office.
The engineers who conduct this two
dollar journalistic bureau know that
many people believe the stories con
eerning the fabulous sums earned bv
contributors TO newspapers and maya
zines. But admitting that certain men
make good money by such work, mo-
ment's reflection should dispel the IL
lusion as to their constituting a large
army and one in which there is plenty
OF room for recruits.
Take the number of successful mag
azines, add the newspapers running
magazine sections of their own and
multiply the sum by the average mum
her of contributions and YOU will get
a total Of few hundred well paid
writers out of a population of hun
dred millions.
To believe that you can break into
that class If merely cold enough to
write intelligent English and forward
the syndicate two dollars, is about on
a par with believing that every boy IL
the United States can become Presi
dent.

TOURISTS PREFER
OVERLAND ROUTE

During the past week there have
been on an average about three autos
passing through Winnemueca from the
east. en- route to the San Francisco Ex-
position.
This morning Mr.. and Mrs. William
Truax and Mr.. and Mrs. f. M. Baldwin
passed through the town, in two Ford
ears, having spent the night at the
Goleonda Hot Springs hotel. They left
their home town of Hazleton, Iowa, on
May 8, but stopped one week in Salt
Lake City and spent two weeks at Yel-
lowstone Park, making the actual run
ming time about three weeks. While
they had never been over the Lincoln
Trail, they expressed themselves as
well pleased with the Overland route,
stating that they shall return this way
The tourists stated that they had
passed a number of ears between Salt
Lake City and Winnemucca, and that
there would probably be dozen pass
through here during the remainder of
the week.

Other. an Imitation, Was

A husband gave his wife an opal

The husband lost his job The wife
became an invalid. Just before she
died she gave the opal ring to her
sister. The sister, knowing the his
tory of the ring. pawned it for what
it would bring and burned the ticket.
A wife presented ner husband with
an opal ring. For two years Jones.
who owed him money, had walked on
the other side of the street. Jones
paid him on the first day he wore the
ring. His mining stock went up five
points on the second day. The third
day his salary was raised. Love nor
money could not purchase that opal
ring.

said:
IA pearl has dropped out of my
ring. I've worn that opal ten years,

The jeweler picked 1t up. put his
lens to his eye and said:

Wyoming Clip Sells at High Figure

In the sale of the wool clip of the
Stewart Harding Sheep company at
Evanston, Wyo., Monday for 2s cents
pound there was established new
high price for woods from the triangle
of Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. The clip
is estimated at between 125.000 and
10000 pounds and is the first to be
sold from this district this spring. 1t
also brought the highest price vet paid
for woods from the states making up
the triangle. The wool, known as quar-
ter-breed, was purchased bv the b.
Harris Wool company of st. Louis.
through its buyer. A. 8. Erickson. IT
will be shipped to st. Louis immedi-
ately.
c. B. Stewart. one of the princip j
owners in the Stewart Harding compa
ny, was advised at once of the sale an l
was elated. not only because of the
price received by his company, but ON
account of the prospects for other Utah
wool growers
"The wool was owned and produced
entirely by Utah men, said Mr.. Stew
art TT was grown partly in Utah and
partly in Wyoming and is said to be
one of the finest clips of wool ever pro
duced in this section. Mark Harris. a
member of the p. Harris company. told
me that the clip was the finest he ever
had seen and was greatly pleased at
having been able to secure it.

HUMBOLDT LEADS
IN PAYING TAXES

If taxes come into the state treasury
from the various counties in the man
ner that has already obtained, there is
not going to be any such deficit in state
funds as has been talked about the
past few weeks. The second install
ment of 1915 taxes became delinquent
on June End, and the authorities of the
different counties have reported that
the list of delinquencies is smaller than
it has been for number of years, and
were it not that some sums are tied
up by reason of suits instituted by
large interests against the Tax commits
sion the vaults of the state treasury
would be overburdened with funds. As
il is, however, the money coming in
rapidly and State Treasurer Malley re-
ports that from seven counties, since
the first Of the month, be has received
more than $165,000 The counties that
have already sent in their collections,
in part or in whole, are as follows:
Ormsby, $3,244.40.
Humboldt, $45, 1887.
Lyon, $20.626.s4.
Washoe, $49,9s2.62
Eureka, $10,665.79.
Douglas, $5,5s2.79.
Nye, s30,1s2.11.
The installments received from Hum
boldt and Nye counties are considera-
bly, in excess of the second installments
turned in by them in previous years,
despite the fact that in Humboldt coun-
ty several bunehes of money are tied
uI as the result of tax suits. Storey
county has sent no funds as yet, but
a letter from the authorities states that
over 90 per cent Of the collections
have been made.-Appeal.
