Wins. 10 to Z.


BY defeating the Stuyvesant eleven at
the Polo Grounds yesterday Morris High
Schools gridiron representatives won the
football championship OF Manhattan and
the Bronx. The score was is to I.
Stuyvesan, previously had triuinphed
over DE witt Clinton and Commerce.
and Morris remained Its only obstacle In
the path to the championship. The East
sixteenth street aggregation. however.
was unequal to the occasion, and the
Bronx boys rode rough shod over Coach
Mason's team.
The dark horse" OF this years scho-
las,ic gridifon campaign proved itself
one OF the best drilled teams that has
appeared In the city In some time.
Coach Emmon's charges played fault
lessly. being adept at line plunging. end
running and forward passing. Many Of
Morris's material gains resulted from M
tercepted passes. The Bronx backfield
was slow in getting started. but In the
third quarter the boys warmed to their
task and made up for their slack work
in the early periods.

ing unable to cope with this style OF
play.
In the frst three periods there was an
unusual number Of exchanged punts,

FA1LoN NEVADA WEDNESDAY MARCH
BRINGS CONFIRMATION OF
PROSPERITY IN THE EAST

B. c. Archer, manager for Gray,
Reid & Co., has returned from a
five-weeks' buying trip in the east
During his absence he visited a
number of the larger cities, includ-
ing Chicago, Pittsburg and Washing
ton and brings confirmation of the
tales of unexampled prosperity now
existing al over the East. While
this unprecedented prosperity is un-
doubtedly primarily due to war ord
ers, it has stimulated practically ev-
cry line Of industry and Mr.. Archer
states that it is the opinion of those
best Informed on financial and mar
keting conditions that even should
peace be declared in the very near
future. thaa tire demands on the
manufacturers would continue for
couple OF years at least. Mr..
Aroher alse predicts that the West
will very shortly begin TO feel the
effects of the overplus of capital
that h0E Row become a problem in

REPUBLICANS SELECT THEIR
-
DELEGATES TO CONVENTION
Churchill County Represented by
Geo. B. Williams, Delegate, and
Senator W. A. keddie, Alternate

The Republican State Central
committee, which met at the Golden
Hotel, Reno, last Saturday after
noon. followed the example of the
Democratic committee which met
the preceding week, and resolved
itself into convention for the Sc
lectien of delegates to the National
convention.
The following delegates were Sc
lected: Hugh H. Brown of Nye;
William MeGill of White Pine; H.
G. Humphrey of Washoe; Sam Plat
of Ormsby; George B. Williams of
Ghurchil; Mel Badt of Elko.
The alternates are as follows: w.
A. Keddie of Churchill; Mrs. T. F.
Moran of Washoe; William Easton
OF Lander; H. n. Castle of Elko; ].
f. Bradley of Esmeralda; Peter
Buol of Clark.
For the first time in the history
OF politics in Nevada, the new wom-
Ell voters were recognized, when
Mrs. T. f. Moran received a place
as an alternate. 1t will be noted
that Churchill county received sig
nal honors as it secures not only
delegate but the position of first
alternate. Under a recent ruling by
tie National committee the substi-
tuition of alternates for delegates
viii be in the order in which they
are named by the convention. In
the event that any delegate fails to
attend in person the first will take
his place. 1t is now understood that
at least one of the gentlemen named
as a delegate will not attend the
convention and under the rule, Sena-
tor w A. Keddie will act in his
stead giving this county two repre-
sentatives in the delegation.
The delegates will go unpledged
and prepared to meet any conting-
e1cy that may arise in the mixed
affairs of the G. o. p, but 1t is un-
derstood that they are unanimous
against Roosevelt.

AN INTERESTING CIRCULAR =
OF PRICES 50 YEARS AGO

There is current opinion,
amounting to conviction, that ney-
er in the history of the country Eas
there been such a reign of high
prices as prevails at present, due to
the war in Europe, especially in
that class of goods that is intimate
ly connected with every day exist
ence That such is far from being
the truth is evidenced by a fac
smile copy of circular issued By
the well known firm of II. b. 'Claain
& Co., New York dry goods. mer-
chants, on August 81. 1864, Il copy
of which has been sent to e. II.
Peoples by San Francisco dry
goods house.
The circular emphasizes the fact
that prices are constantly advancing
and the quotations given are. FOR
THIS DAY ONLY
1t is interesting to compare these
prices with those prevailing to-day,
at time when the "high cost of
living is the main topic of converse
ton. For instance. Common prints.
now selling at t0c were then quoted
at from 40 to AZ y cents; apron
checks, which now bring from 6 4
to 1-3 cents, sold thea at frofn 5
to 60 cents; bleached eottoRS now
sold at around IL eeAts are quoted
in the old war time eireul3r at IA
cents per yard; bleaehea muslin
9-4 sheeting, now selling at 80 cents
PER yard then cost the consumer
$3.50 per yard. The foregoing are
but instances taken sS random from
the list Many of the articles still
bear the same trade names and it Is
thus possible to secure e perfect
comparison. s a
1t is apparent that haaas Of our
complaints of high prices ere not
borne out by the facts, and when it
is taken into consideration that
wages and opportunities ere ineom-
parable better in these days than a
half century age, wa should hesi-
tate before praying for a return OF
the good old days. = s,'ct
