NEW GONIOMETER FOR
STATE UNIVERSITY

Professor Jones of the State Uni
versity has recently received a gon-
iometer which has quite history
behind it. The instrument, which is
used in measuring the angles Of
crystal minerals, was shipped from
Germany on July 25, 1914, and for
nearly two years has been buffeted
about by the war conditions, coming
to its final destination more by
chance than intent.
The instrument consists of an or
dinary electric light which furnish
es rays thrown on the crystal and a
pair of lenses marked with cross
lines and an edge of the crystal CO.
inoide and a reflection then indi-
Gates the supplement of the crystal
angle. Any mineral can be deter
mined when its crystal formation is
known. Professor Jones plans to
institute a course in the mineralogy
department which will consist in
the study and measurement of crys-
tai minerals by the use of this gon-
iometer.

OF WOOL
GREATEST IN HISTORY

The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter said during the week:
twenty-five per cent more wool
is being daily consumed than ever
before in the history of the country,
it is stated. Stocks of wool in the
hands of Boston dealers are rapidly
being exhausted, but foreign woods
are arriving in considerable quanti-
ties. The John Taylor clip of Ne
vada, 100000 pounds. has been con-
tracted for by Eastern dealers at %
cents a pound.
1.-The wooden goods market con-
tinued to show much activity, but
the interest is not as great as it has
been in recent weeks. In the heavy
weight goods the greatest number of
lines have been withdrawn, because
sellers expect to obtain higher quo
tations. The market is assuming a
speculative attitude.
"The dyestuffs difficulty is still
great and many methods have been
adopted to get out fabrics which can
be offered The export demand is
already much more important than
is generally believed Buying has
been largely summer fabrics.

CHURCHILL COUNTY WILL
ASSIST IN RABIES FIGHT
Governor Boyle Pays Hurried Visit
to Fallon to Enlist Support of
County Officials.

Governor Emmett d. Boyle and
Jay Clemmons of Reno, members
of the Rabies commission, were Wis
itors to Fallon last Monday, coming
over from Hazen by auto in the
evening. The object of their visit
being to confer with the County
Commissioners on the rabies situa-
tion. AS result of their visit,
Churchill county will contribute its
proportion of $2.577 to the fund to
be devoted to combating the spread
of the disease.
Commissioners Ernst, Harrigan
and Benadum, together with County
Clerk Wilson, District Attorney
Cam and Sheriff Coniff discussed
the situation with the Governor and
Mr. Clemmons at meeting held at
the Courthouse Monday night. 1t is
understood that an attempt will be
made to secure government assist
ance in the campaign to the amount

1t is expected that $4,000 will be
contributed by the counties by a
special tax and $4,000 will be ap-
propriated by the State. Every
county in the State has contributed
with the exception of Eureka county
and the Governor will interview the
commissioners of that county on the
present trip.
The matter of improvements on
the Lincoln Highway was also dis
cussed and the Governor suggested
that as an expert road engineer
from Washington would soon ar
rive in Nevada, the matter will
probably be taken up with him and
a route selected across this county
that will meet with the approval of
the Highway officials for permanent
improvement with a minimum cost
of upkeep.

ELKO MAN is A CANDIDATE
FOR SUPREME COURT CLERK

William Kennett of Elko has an
nounced his candidacy for the nom
nation on the Democratic ticket for
Clerk of the Supreme Court. Mr..
Kennett is popular young court
stenographer and hence is peculiar
ly fitted for the position to which
he aspires.
Commenting ON his candidacy, the
Elko Independent has this to say:
He is young man of energy and
ambition and has a host of friends
who will Loyalty support him. AS
there is not one man from Elko
county holding either an elective or
an appointive state Office, Mr.. Ken
nett's candidacy should receive con-
sideration from the Democratic
State convention. For some time
he and his friends have been quietly
conducting campaign in his be
half and they have received mucl
encouragement from various por
tions of the State.

LECTURE BY COL. MILLER
WAS THOROUGHLY ENJOYED

Colonel w. II. Miller, who lee
tured at the Temple Theatre last
Saturday night under the auspices
of the local High School, has been
aptly termed a rapid fire speaker.
Making no claims to being an ora
tor, he nevertheless captures his
audience from the first word spoken.
Taking as his theme, Community
Development" Col. Miller enlivened
his discourse with running fire of
anecdotes interspersed with keen
comments on life in small communi-
ties that show him to be close OBJ
server, while fully alive to the
frailties of human nature. BY his
analogies he demonstrated to his
hearers that after all the problems
that confront us in our endeavors to
develop a spirit of community oper-
alton are shared by every city and
hamlet in the country.
1t would be impossible in a short
review such as this to attempt to
give even a resume of his remarks,
suffice it to say that he should be
heard to be appreciated 1t is sin
cerely to be regretted that the at
tendance was no larger as he bore
message that all should hear and
ponder over. If ii were possible to
concentrate his lecture into a few
words, it might best be conveyed in
his closing advice of Get together"

COONTOWN MINSTUELS GIVE
CREDITABLE PERFORMANCE

The Coontown Minstrel show CIV
en- by the Knights of the Round
Table at the Temple Theatre last
Friday night drew out a large audi
ence and the performance of the To-
cal amateurs was far above the av-
erage.
In striking contrast to the usual
order of such affairs, there were no
long and tedious waits. The cur
tain rose on the customary minstrel
circle singing Dixie" Bones, {"
Ball:nger. "Tambo," Martin, Dish
water Black" Clinton and Wolf
ington Butts" by himself, held
down the heavy ends in true min
strel style, while Interlocutor Ferris
occupied the dias in the center. The
jokes were all new, being cribbed
from the latest edition of Ayers al
manac, with the moss carefully re-
moved to make them up to date.
There were number of local
"hits" that touched the risibles Of
the audience without leaving
wounds to rankle or scars to mar.
No favorites were played and the
entire town from the depot to Ver-
plank's addition and from the sugar
factory to the experiment farm came
in for share of attention from the
fun makers. Quite a number of
songs were rendered in true min
strel style.
The Coon town 13 Club" occu-
pied the boards in the second sec
tion of the evenings entertainment
and proved a laughable complica-
ton of negro dialect, gin and the
efforts of "Dishwater Black" to col
lect eight dollars from a member of
the suicide club before he kicked
in"
From a financial standpoint the
show was equally successful, net
ting a neat sum that will go to-
ward the erection of guild hall for
the use of the Episcopal church and
its auxiliary societies of which the
Knights of the Round Table is one
OF the Juvenile branches. Great
praise is due those who trained the
youngsters for the very creditable
manner In which they acquitted
themselves.

HELD TO ANSWER
FOR KILLING MAYS

The preliminary hearing of Fred
Holmes, under indictment to answer
to the charge of killing T. s. Mays
on February 14th, was held before
Judge Bartoo Thursday afternoon
and evening. District Attorney Ma
stretti handled the case for the
State and Frank Currap looked out
for the interests of the defendant.
Seven witnesses were called to the
stand by the State and their evil
dence differed little from that given
at the coroner's inquest held last
week. Defendant did not put any
witnesses on the stand and waived
a statement. In the light of the
evidence offered by the States wit
nesses, Judge Bartoo bound the de-
fendant over to the action OF the
July grand jury on the charge of
murder and fixed his bonds in the
sum of s30,00O.-Battle Mountain

4 BAD week IN fALLON
FOR UNNUzzLED CANNES
CITY Marshall Smitten Materially
Reduces the Number of Vagrant
Dogs on City Streets

The operation of the city ordi-
nance providing for the extermina-
tion of dogs without muzzles in the
limits of the city of Fallon has re-
suited In a number of fatalities to
the canine population. On the first
day something like dozen bow
vows, whose owners, II they had
any, had failed to properly provide
them with the required head gear.
have solved the debatable question
of a future canine existence.
As a gratifying result of the CAM
paign of City Marshal Smitten there
is a noticeable absence of dogs on
the streets with a corresponding
feeling of safety on the part of par
ents who have little children and
are living in daily dread of the time
which Is almost certain to arrive
when there will be case of rabies
develop In this city with the conse-
quent reign OF terror that will fol-
low the first case of person being
bitten.
The fact that animals affected
with the rabies have been killed on
the outskirts of town has been es-
tablishd beyond the possibility of a
doubt. Last week we made mention
of the fact that a coyote had been
killed at the yannoy ranch on Old
River, which gave evidence of being
affected. Mr.. Vannoy promptly
sent the head to the University lab
oratory for examination and has re-
ceived the following letter in reply:
Mr.. o. J. yannoy,
Fallon. Nevada.
Dear Sir
| am In receipt of a coyote head
from you. An examination shows
that II had rabies. This is record
ed in our records as Accession No.
1l13. Yours very truly.
w. b. Mack,
Director State Veterinary Control
Service.
Mr.. vannoy states that the animal
came across the fields and headed
for the house followed by the three
dogs belonging to the ranch. The
animal was swapping at the dogs
and refused to be turned from its
course, even after the first shot was
fred at 1t and missed. It Is we'll
known that coyote is essentially
cowardly and can generally be de-
pended upon to turn tail and vanish
when a shot is fred. and the unus-
ual actions OF the animal In this In
stance convinced him that he was
undoubtedly facing a rabid animal
and scarcely needed the confrmatory
examination which followed the
sending of the head to Reno
Mr.. vannoy states that the coun-
try to the north of his place is teem-
ing with coyotes. II is vast
stretch of uninhabited sagebrush
land reaching to the railroad and Is
an ideal breeding plac for the ami
mails with plenty of rabbits for feed.
The task of exterminating them pre-
sents tremendous difficulties, espec-
tally In view of the fact that the
county is In no financial condition
TO employ hunters or to offer large
bounties. II has been suggested
that call be issued to the farmers
of the valley and the sportsmen OF
the city to take part in huge en-
cireling drive, on the order OF the
familiar rabbit drive, In the section
to the north of the river. 1t is be-
lieved that properly organized such
campaign would result in the kill
Ing of an unexpected number of the
animals and lessening by that much
at least the chances of an outbreak
In this neighborhood.
