BASKETBALL GAME
RESULTS IN TIE

Before a good crowd yesterday af-
ternOon the Winnemucca- Reno game
went to tie, the score being Is to Is
when time was called. From the first
whistle to the very last the game was
and then the other was in the lead and
every minute or two furnished a
/" thrill' for the spectators.
The home team seemed to have a H.
tie "stage fright" at the beginning,
and the first half ended with Reno IN
the lead, the score being to 8. But
in the last half the locals came back
with a rush and took a good lead, only
to lose it near the end, resulting in 4
tie game.
Next week the same teams will play
again in Reno in state semi-fnals, and
it is certain that the game there will
be another splendid exhibition.
Each member of the home team play
ed in splendid form, but Lowry, Gala
han, Lille and Erskine deserve special
mention for fast and timely work. For
the visitors Franzman and Snare were
star performers. Prof. Bowhay of the
Reno High school, accompanied the
team, which returned to Reno on No.
10 last evening. They are a fine bunch
Of fellows and we are glad to continue
athletic relations with them.
The preliminary game between the
aIigh school girls and the Grammar
grade girls was an especially fast,
snappy exhibition and gives good no
tion of the brand of basketball that
viii be afforded when Winnemucca
meets the fast Tonopah team here on
the home court next Wednesday. The
score after two short halves ended )
to 8 in favor Of the High school gorls.

APRIL FIRST REGISTRATION
DAY FOR SCHOOL ELECTION

Residents of the various school dis
triets should remember that the first
Saturday in April april ~ will be
the date for holding the elections for
school trustees. As very few women
have registered in this state, the fol
lowing from the 1915 school law may
be of interest:
L" Sec. AZ. No person shall be allowed
to vote at any school election unless
he is a resident of the district and his
name appears upon the official regis
try list of the voting precinct or pre-
cincts including the district for the
last preceding general election; pro-
vided, that any citizeg of the United
States who shall have resided in this
state six months. and in the school dis
trict thirty days next preceding the
day of election, and whose name is not
upon the said official registry list, may
apply to the clerk of the board of
school trustees, or to person author
lied by the trustees of the district to
act as registry agent, not more than
eight nor less than five days prior to
the day of election, to have his name
registered.
"See. As. 1t shall be the duty of the
clerk of the board of school trustees,
as the ease may be, to register any
qualified voter of the school district
who may apply to be registered under
the provisions of the preceding sec
tion; provided, that if the person ap-
plying to be registered be unknown to
the registry agent, or his qualifications
for voting be unknown. he shall, be-
fore having his name registered, be re-
quired to subscribe to the official
oath. -

SLIGHT INCREASE
IN COUNTY LEVY

L. f. Adamson, secretary of the Ne
vada tax commission, is in town today,
inspecting the county budget. The
only change he will recommend will be
an increase in the county general levy
from .S9l to .94, to provide fund to
&C the rabies situation. 1t
seems that this tax was not levied by
the commissioners owing to misun-
derstanding as to the proper time TO
make the levy At the next meeting
of theSboard the change will be recon-
mended by District Attorney Powell,
County Clerk Davey and Treasurer Ho-
enstine.
Mr.. Adamson will remain in town
until the first part of next week gath
