Kane will make her initial appear

based on the fascinating naval story
by Burton E. Stevenson, will be the
attraction at the Nixon opera house

the U. S. government co-operated
with the producing company in pro-

love story, excellent acting and at
mosphere supreme. besides seeing a
torpedo boat at close range, with it's
shooting torpedo and its wake until
it reaches the derelict, which was

SAM PLATT EXTENDS
THANKS TO SUPPORTERS

When the returns are all in, sub
stantial majorities will be recorded
in Nevada in favor of President Will
son and Senator Pittman. A candi-
date for office must~be ready for de-
feat as well as victory and my only
regret is that the splendid work of
my loyal friends proved unavailing.
want to take this opportunity to
thank them for their tireless efforts
in my behalf and to assure them of
my lasting gratitude. In the face of
a statewide sentiment for the pres
ent administration, they made a
splendid fight for me. What we need
now, is to get together and work for
Nevada and forget the late unpleas-
antness. SAM PLATT.

NEWSY ITEMS
FROM KNOXVILLE

Unionville polled 30 votes out of a
total registration of 80. The ladies
took keen interest and it is worthy
of note that no ballots were rejected.
The returns were taken to Winnie
mucca by Mrs. Jane Hatton.
BY a vote of "a to 4, Unionville reg
istered her objection to any change
in the Presidency at this time. The
rest of the ticket was very much di-
vided, there being practically no par
ty lines.
The following items were sent in
from Unionville last week:
The social event of last week last
past was the masquerade Saturday
night. People attended from Inlay,
Mill City and Winnemucca. All dis
gused as negro characters and con-
siderable skill was manifested in
many of the make-ups. Mrs. A. e. Or
gan, representing Topsy, was award
ed the prize for the best sustained
character. Music was furnished by
the Thornton brothers.
Among the visitors from INLAY on
Saturday last were the Misses Audrey
and Ellen Thacker adm Miss Virder
Springer, r. A. Woolcock and his
brother, Starr From Mill City, Mrs.
III. F. Davidson. From Winnemucca,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. D. Hubbard and Mrs.
E. A. Organ. All returned to their
homes Sunday except r. A. Wool He
decided to visit with his grandma,
Mrs. L. Fellows, for few days.
N. Carmichael has been engaged
for several days in surveying mining
claims in Congress canyon for the
Silver Stars Gold Mining company.
These are the d. C. Adamson claims
recently inspected by ]. C. Peterson
of Salt Lake City. This company has
recently incorporated and expect
soon to undertake a thorough and
systematic development of their hold
ings.
T. I. Powells residence and other
ranch buildings narrowly escaped de-
struction by fire Friday of last week.
While weeds in what they call the
Talcott field, north of the residence,
the fire got beyond their control and
caught in the salt grass and other
dry pasture and rapidly spread. Fur
rows were ployed to prevent the fire
from reaching the buildings and from
hay stack in the field The build
ings were saved but the haystack and
several acres of pasture were burned.
The loss will be keenly felt as feed
is very scarce this fall, but all are
thankful it was no worse. Mr. Powell
was returning from Lovelock, and
had got to the mouth of Spring valley
canyon when he saw the smoke of
the fire. Realizing what it might
mean, he put spurs to his horse and
rivalled even his son Baden's record
for fast riding the rest of the way.

enterprising young rancher of Crow

REPUBLICANS MAY
DEMAND RECOUNT

On their face the latest election re-
turns indicate the success of Presi-
dent Wilson at Tuesdays election by
269 electoral votes, or three more
than necessary. 1t is probable. how
ever. that a recount will be demanded
by the Republicans in several states,
as indicated by statement issued
Yesterday by Chairman Wilcox, as
follows:
"The real outcome depends upon
the vote in close states, and it must
be borne in mind that the returns
thus far announced are unofficial in
most states and may be changed by
the official count required by law
Twice during these unofficial compu-
tations yesterday in California, mis-
takes in additions were announced
from that state. substantially chang
ing figures previously given.
1T is a common experience that
the result of the official count al
most always varies from the returns
first announced
Where the vote is as close as that
reported in several states it may well
be that material changes viii result
from the official count We owe IL to
the country to take all necessary
steps to see that an exact and honest
count of the votes is made When the
current seemed 10 be running against
Mr.. Wilson on Wednesday the Demo-
cratic managers announced their in
tention to demand a recount in every
close state.
"All we desire is to make sure that
the vote is counted as cast"
