PROF. JEWELL REFLECTED
PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL

At an adjourned meeting of the county
board of education, held in the parlors
of the Winnemucea State Bank & Trust
company late Thursday afternoon, Prof.
@. A. Jewell was reelected principal of
the Winnemueca High school for the
coming year.
The deciding vote was cast by DR.. j.
A. Russell, the Lovelock member of the
board, as Mr.. Duncan was for Prof.
Jewell, while Mrs. Lille was opposed
to his reelection. An agreement was
not reached Wednesday night, as DR..
Russell would not act until he had es-
certained public sentiment here. Friday
he called on the business men of the
town and found the sentiment so strong
for the retention of Prof. Jewell that
when the board met at 4 o'clockt hat
afternoon, he stated that he was ready
20 vote and the matter was settled
without further argument.
It is understood that Deputy Super
intendent McCraeken urged against the
reelection of Prof. Jewell that he was
antagonistie to the state board of edu-
cation, going so far in this respect as
to have violated his oath of office.
Friends of Prof. Jewell deny this, stat
ng that so far as the activities of the
state board of education extend to
school work, he is in full accord with
It's members.
As stated in Thursday S Silver State
at the meeting of the board held the
previous evening, Miss Ohmert was
elected vice-principal, Miss Minnie

MEMORIAL DAY
NEARLY AT HAND

The month of May is fast past the
meridian and thoughts of the approach
of the beautiful festival of Memorial
Day crowds the minds of all in these
days when public orators grow frenzied
over the thoughts of preparation for
some possible conflict. The holiday
should be observed with deep patriotism
for the lessons drawn from the observ-
anee may bring your sons to a sense of
the obligations they owe their country
and the flag under which they live.
There is too much of this ct Didn Z
Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier" bust
ness. Our fathers and grandfathers did
not think of evading military response
bility when the call came to arm in de-
Tense of homes and the right Of bro
therhood and manhood They were
quick to act. There were few laggards
in the ranks of the old boys of the six
ties who are now well on in years and
whose tottering steps are fast gather
ing in the gloom of the land known as
the Great Beyond.
Memorial Day is as sacred as the day
of the Lord as it is an inspiration to
valor and devotion and no one ever saw
man who loved his country who was
not lover of pure womanhood and the
guardian of the liberties of the hearth.
When one thinks of the deeds that
crowd our brains as the events of the
civil war are conjured back from the
pages of boyhood history, it is impossi-
BILE to repress the conviction that the
men for whom the day was established
were men of courage and determination.
They were not a different mold from
the men of today. They were the same
flesh and blood, reared to revere the
fathers of our country and believed in
a united nation. They did not respond
to the call of arms without Tightening
of the throat, a sob in the voice and a
tug at the heartstrings, as they contem-
plated their families toddling around
the humble doorstep. The old soldier
of today was then on the verge of man.
hood with a mother, sister, a sweet
heart, and it required bravery of high
order to go forth to country's call and
surrender the luxuries of home and the
love and affection of the fireside for the
rigors of camp life, perhaps never to
return or to feel the warm embrace of
darling mother or wife. Nevertheless
they went by millions. They poured I'M
to the south from east, west and north.
They went to the battlefield in squads,
companies, platoons and regiments to
take their chance with the brave but
misguided bretheren of the grey.
Memorial Day should be celebrated
with especial fervor in every town and
hamlet of Nevada, for the war of the
rebellion was the instrument that af-
hrned the entry of this commonwealth
to the galaxy of stars shining in the
iield of our national banner. 1t was Ne
vada silver that enabled the nation to
meet her obligations and it was Neva-
da' vote that strengthened the hands
of the immortal Lincoln and saved him
from shameful defeat in Congress.
Therefore, let Nevada go to the Gem
eteries with full sense of the solemni-
ty of the occasion and let it be said
that the significance of the day is ap-
preciated by the sons and daughters OF
the Battleborn State.-Bonanza.

LARGE TUNGSTEN SHIP
MFkTS FROM BFFSON MINE

Five hundred tons of tungsten ore
will be sent from the Beeson property,
% miles southwest of Lovelock. to Utah
within a short time A Holt 75-horse-
power tractor with six trailers, capable
Of hauling 30 tons at a trip, left town
today to begin hauling to Marion on
the Southern Pacific, and the Broulet
Bros. have a 500-ton contract. The haul
at present is twenty miles, but with
the completion of the new road now
under construction, the distance will be
shortened to IA miles.
According to Forbes Rickard engi-
neer for the Chicago capitalists who
are purchasing the BeesOn ground the
shipment is being made to determine
the character of the mill to be built on
the edge of Humboldt Sink, not far
from the present mill of the Atkins
Kroll syndicate at Toy. This mill will
probably include a sampler for the de-
termination of custom ores.
Extraordinary discoveries of tung-
stem are being made throughout Hum
boldt county, indicating that this will
become one of the greatest tungsten
producing sections in the United
States.
Sixteen miles west of Seven Troughs
in the vicinity of Eagle Rock, a find
has been made by Springer, Lamb and
White, said to lie in contact between
granite and shale, varying in width
from 10 to 100 feet, and definitely fol
lowed 1000 feet along the strike. AS
says along the groupings return per
cent tungstic trioxide. A number of
finds are reported from this section
where a new townsite is expected to be
located.
The Trinity range few miles north
west of Elko is declared to be the site
of another great discovery, while very
encouraging reports are coming in from
the east range of the Humboldts.

Nav Be No Public Exercises Here

There has been so little interest
shown in Memorial Day in Winnemueca
for the past few years, that it is doubt
full if there will be any public exer-
cises here this year. Although the oc-

week from next Tuesday, thus far
there has been no concerted action for
it's observance. However, it is probable
that the graves of soldiers and sailors
buried here will be decorated by
friends.
