AUTHORITIES SHOULD TAKE
ACTION TO PREYENI FIRES

At noon yesterday fire was discov-
cred in goods boxes in the rear of the
Stephenson Drug company, probably
caused from firecrackers thrown
there by boys. The blaze was extin-
guished without calling out the hose
cart.
Immediate steps should be taken by
the authorities to regulate the fire
works menace during the coming
Fourth of July celebration. With the
large number of wooden buildings in
town and the piles of lumber and
material lying in the streets, to be
used in the new buildings in course of
construction, a disastrous fire is LA
BILE TO result from the careless hand
ling of fireworks. During the three
day celebration. it might be well to
employ two or three additional night
watchmen. as one man can hardly
cover the whole town on an occasion
of this kind.

REGISTRATION BOOKS
WILL OPEN NEXT MONDAY

County Clerk Davey will leave on
Southern Pacific No. 10 this evening
for the south end of the county, to de-
liver registration supplies.
Registration books for both the pri-
mary and general elections will be
opened in each precinct of the county
next Monday, July 1. Under Section
IA, Chapter 283, of the General Elec-
ton law, approved March 20, 1915, all
citizens wishing to vote at the pri-
mary election will be obliged to regis
ter this year giving to the registry
agent the name of the political party
to which they belong or intend to af-
filiate at the coming election. How
ever. there appears to be a conflict in
the law. and to be on the safe side,
all citizens who wish to vote should
register and if they do not care to
designate their politics, may so state,
when they will be registered as inde-
pendent.

Theodore Roosevelt. in a letter read
yesterday to the Progressive national
committee, in session at Chicago,

one for a longer period, must settle

Noonchester Under Arrest

L. L. Noonchester, the man for
whom a warrant was issued b. JUS
tice Dunn last week on a charge of
having passed a worthless check for
$50 on a local business man, has been
taken into custody at Burns, Oregon.
1t is understood that defendant has
offered to make the check good if the
prosecution is dropped and this will
probably be done, as it is hard work
TO secure conviction in cases of this
kind where the alleged worthless
check is in the nature of an overdraft.

COMMITTEE ASKS
FOR COOPERATION

The Fourth of July decoration COM
nittee. under the direction of Oscar
Reinhart. has had wires strung across
Railroad and Bridge street Tor a
large number of electric lights, as
well as other plans for the beautify-
ing of the city for the Fourth of July
celebration. Now that they have made
actual showing on their own part,
they feel justified in making strong
plea for cooperation on the part of
residents in the way of decoration.
1t is hoped that every business
house in town will make an appro-
pirate display of flags, bunting and
other forms of decoration. There are
sure to be thousands of visitors in
our city during the three days of the
celebration, and every resident should
take pride in helping Winnemucca to
make proper appearance.
Every residence in town should also
display at least few flags. They can
be secured at small cost, and such an
exhibition of patriotism and civic
pride will make of our town a picture
that will remain long in the memories
of our own people as well as visitors.
Literary Committee Hard at Work
The literary committee in charge
of H. NJ. Leonard. is busy preparing a
program for the morning of July
Fourth. A large number of school
boys and girls met last evening at the
new High school auditorium, taking
up their part in the exercises. They
will present flag drills, patriotic
songs accompanied by the band, etc.
They will meet again tomorrow even
ing for another rehearsal, when the
band will be present, and it hoped
that still other boys and girls will at
tend and take part.

Boston Y NJ. G. A., who is visiting
here. Il joined the association in 1866
and at that time we had but three
rooms The association has surely
shown a wonderful growth since
first became member"
Mr. Sawyer was president of the
Boston Y. M. @. A. for two years and
has been identified with association
work for a number of years. He has
watched the Boston association grow
to the largest in the country, and has
closely followed every step made by
the organization He states that the
Boston association was the first in
the United States. It was established
in 1851.
Mr.. Sawyer was seated in the lobby
of the Y. NJ. G. A. this morning and
was very .fatorably impressed with
the number of sailors who entered the
building. "Good work. That is what
/ like to see. 1t does me good to see
the boys from the navy make them
selves at home in the Y. NJ G. A. he
said.

of places to which / would like to re-
turn" concluded Mr.. Sawyer.
