XXTKJV not give your lad
VIII 4 the same training ?

when was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
j did not understand, my mother, in
stead Of giving me the definition when
! applied TO her. uniformly sent me 10
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question among other things,
how to use dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the nae of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages Of the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una
bridged- theNEW INTERNATIONAL
gives me a pleasure of the same sort.
So far as my knowledge extends, it il
at present the best of the One-yOlume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uaes. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volumes will yet End it great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact, so full, and so trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired. - Albert s. Cook. Ph.D., LID,

IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE
IN LOCAL TELEPHONE LINES
New and Larger Switchboard Has
Been Installed ard Heavy Cables
Are Being Strung.

Manager Mefarlin OF the Church
i'll County Telephone system is
busy man these days. He is in
stalling a new and improved West
ern Electric switchboard at the
central station, besides stringing
something like 200 feet of 50-pai-
cable through the main part of the
city. The new switchboard has a
capacity of 210 lines and when COM
pleted will result in a greatly inn
proved service as it will enable the
management to install additional
lines in the crowded business sec
ton by reducing the number of
subscribers on the party lines that
are now overcrowded. 1t will also
afford an opportunity for those de-
string Independent or two party
lines to be accommodated.
Under present conditions it is inn
possible to extend new lines from
the central station as the present
board has reached its capacity, a
condition that has existed for some
time past and for which there was
no remedy
The new cables viii be fed out
Of the central Office across Williams
avenue with $50 feet of w 100
pair cable. there splicing in a new
50-pair cable that will extend west
on Williams avenue 1896 to the al
ley west OF Taylor stree In the
course OF this work all overhead
wires that at present cucumber the
avenue will be taken down The
other 50-pair cable will lead of
south through the alley west of
Maine street 976 feet to Richard
street. taking down the present
congestion of wires in the alley and
also the present 25-pair cable, which
will be restrung east on Williams
avenue to the alley east Of Maine
street
The new switchboard when in
stalled will call for an additional
operator, two girls being employed
instead of one as at present.
The county owned telephone sys-
tenn here has been almost unanim-
onsly praised BY those who have had
experience in other places of SINH
lar size and working under similar
conditions, both as to the eheapness
and the quality of the service rend-
cred to the patrons. In most places
of this size it is customary TO close
the Office on Sundays and there is
no night service after s O'Clock in
the evening. while in Fallon we
have a seven-day and an all night
service.

boy Wins OVER
OLYMPIC CLUB ATHLETES
Robert Martin Shows Clean Pair of
Heels to Bay City Sprinters in
Mile Run.

A Fallon boy-Robert Martin
carried off the honors in field meet
between the Olympic Club of San
Francisco and the Caledonians on
July at Shelmound Park. Martin
who is attending summer school at
Berkeley ran unattached in the mile
race on ten-lap track and was cas-
lily the sensation of the days meet,
making the distance in 4:45 3-5.
Commenting on the results of the
meet the San Francisco Chronicle
had the following to say:
''The mile race brought a surprise.
An unheard-of newcomer. Robert
Martin, with small handicap, ran
away from the field and won by a
big margin. Fuller, O'Callaghan
and other regular placers, saw first
slip away without knowing quite
the reason why. 1t later developed
that Martin is an old Illinois Ath-
letic Club distance man, who is now
attending the summer session at
California.
Martin is a resident of Nevada
most of the year and consequently
appeared as a genuine dark horse"
He claims that he has had no COM
petition and is a little out of trim.
However, some of the Olympic boys
have an idea that he has been run
ming jackrabbits or coyotes in lieu
of racing two-legged competitors"
The Olympic Club Immediately
presented Martin with membership
and hereafter he will compete under
the colors of the Club in all future
events, with particular reference to
the athletic tournament to be held
at San Diego in August for Far
Western Championships for the dis
trict in the United States west of
the Mississippi Gail Martin of this
city will also compete under the col
ors of the Olympic Club and is ex-
pected to render a good account of
himself in the next track meet.

WINCF|ELD APPOINTED ON
NEVADA RACING COMMISSION

In announcing the resignation of
Charles F. Bolts as a member of the
Nevada Racing commission and the
appointment of George Wingfeld to
the vacancy, Governor Boyle made
the following statement to the Car
son Appeal:
Mr.. Bolts rendered his resigna-
ton some time ago, but its accept
ance was deferred in the hope that
he could still perform the services
of the Office. He has not, however,
been able TO make certain reports
required of him owing to i'll health
and the pressure of his business af-
fairs. The State loses the services
eff a conscientious servant by his
resignation.
The racing commission law was
proposed and sponsored by Mr. Wina
field, who as Nevadas foremost
breeder of racing stock and as a
racing, enthusiast, has a larger per-
sonal interest in the success of pari-
mutuel racing in Nevada than any
one else.
Racing under this system in Ne
Yada, is on trial. II 1t can be con-
Quoted so as to meet with popular
approval here, Mr.. Wingfield is the
man who logically should be most
interested in seeing it SO conducted
and | have appointed him. as / did
lis predecessor. Mr.. Bolts. on his
recommendation, with the feeling
that this experiment can best be
tried ont under his administration.
