NEVADA PREDICTED
AUTHORITY ON SILVER TELLS
WHY THIS STATE WILL COME
INTO ITS OWN

AS guest of the Reno Commercial
club Charles A. Towne, of New York
City, was speaker yesterday noon at
a luncheon at the Riverside hotel says
The Reno Journal. The speaker be
gan his remarks by paying the state
and Reno high compliment on pro
gressiyeness. He pointed out the ad-
vance and Improvement made since
his last visit many years ago.
Mr. TONNES talk was based on sill
yer and he showed why Nevada was
destined to become a great state. Fig
ures given by him showed that silver
was to be of the same relative basic
value as gold. This will be brought
about in the near future, he said, pos
sibly before the end of the present
European war. That price of silver
will continue to rise was one OF the
predictions because or need of mon
itary exchange and metal of relative
value of gold 'Then Nevada will
come into her own" said Towne.

quick on the draw that he was able to
snatch his gun out and shoot his OPP

of such happenings in the magazines
and give the writer's credit for an ac-
tive imagination, says the Elko Free
Press.
But about the shooting at Wells.
Constable McCombs came down last
night on the late tram, bringing a

Three weeks ago two men applied
at the O'Neil cattle ranch for job,
both claiming to be experienced COW

nual spring roundup is going on, one
as "wrangle boy" whose duties it is
to herd the horses for the riders, and
the other as regular cowboy A
quarrel came up between the two men
and when the hearder let two horses
Of the other man get away on Tuesday
night, bitter words passed between
them.
The herder rode away to the Sand

postoffice department appoint a COM

regarding a design for the box, and
this was done. There were frequent
conferences, with the result that

conferences.

are to be constructed of pressed steel.
The design for the front of the boxes
proved acceptable, but the eagle was

PEACE IN SIGHT
e. S. Ambassador in Berlin
Says It's on Way.
Sees Germany's Readiness in
ChancelIor's Speech.

Berlin, May 27.-United States Am
bassador James Gerard is convinced
that peace is in sight, according to
an interview published in a Munich
paper from its Berlin correspondent.
Mr.. Gerard is quoted as saying:
Nothing can shake my confidence
that peace is on its way
The ambassador referred to the set
tlement of the differences of the Unit
ed States and Germany as preparing
the way for President Wilson to take
up the question of peace.
President wilson, he said, has
much greater freedom of action now
to deal with the immense world prob
lem which will determine the future
attitude of nearly all the countries of
the globe.
IT am very optimistic regarding the
progress already made of the idea that
the war should be ended, even among
the belligerent nations. The wise and
moderate words of the German chan
ce1lor regarding Germany and her
readiness to make peace had their
strongest echo in America and
strengthen the impression that Ger
many will take all further steps calm
ly and with confidence
when another step will be taken
and what shape the further develop
ment of the peace idea will take is
not clear
