FREDICTS RUSH TO
 TO ALASKA THIS YEAR

Seattle, Jan, 2-W. J. Cassidy, president of the Auchorage-Willow Creek Mining & Development Com pany, of Anchorage, Is spending a month in the city transacting busi- ness iu connection with his hold iHgs in the country back of Anchor are. He is registered at the Frye hotel, says the Post-Intelligencer.
 "At least 12 good gold strikes have been made in the Willow creek country during the last summer, " Mir. Cassidy said last evening in dis cussiDg the conditions in the region whicH is being opened, "and dur ing he coming summer five more mills, in addition to the four in op- era ion. will be opeend to handle the ore that is being mined There is great opportunity for those who wish to prospect in the valley, even a this stage of the development of the region. I believe the spring of 1917 will see one of the greatest gold rushes in the history of Alas ka."
 Cassidy has been interested in tho developmen of Alaska's mineral riches since be went there in 1900 Before that time he had mined in China, South America, Africa and Australia. He was one of the party of five who discovered the famous Kalgorlie mine of Australia, which has produced more than $35,O00,- 900 in ores since it's development.

S=S-csSSNs<zkaE BOWLING GAME T YEARS OLO

IT 8 first match of modern com- petitiye bowling in America was played in New York on Jan. l, 184O Bowling as an outdoor sport was popular on this side of the Allan tic in the early days. Bowling Green, at the foot of Broadway Manhatten, was leased by the muni- cipality in 1732 as a public bowl ing green, and it still retains the name.
 From the time the first indoor match game was played in 1S40, un til 1875, bowling was conducted in haphazard way, different rules prevailing in nearly all cities, while the length of alleys and size of pins and balls varied widely.
 In the last 40 years the game has been standardized and has be- come one of the most popular of winter sports. The war has had a bad effect on bowling in the large cities by making it difficult to se- cure pin boys. Native lads, espec- iallv ill the great cities of the east, do not seem to care for such employ ment and the falling off of immigra- tion 1as greatly reduced the supply of foreign youngsters.

WIN. NACLE CHARGED With
MURDER OF MRS. ]. KELLY
Bound Over to the Grand Jury With
out Bail-Mrs. Byrd and Mrs.
Haynes to have Separate Trials

The preliminary examination into
the killing of Mrs. joe Kelly which
has been in progress at Rawhide for
the past ten days, was concluded last
Friday and resulted in William Ma
gle being bound over to the grand
jury of Mineral county without bail.
Nagle was represented by Attor-
ney George Green of Reno and the
husband of the deceased woman b.
Attorney Leonard B. Fowler of Reno.
District Attorney White and Sheriff
Balzar represented the county at the
examination. which TOOK place be-
hind closed doors. The evidence ad-
duced at the inquiry was not made
public, but the fact that Nagle is
now in the county Jail at Hawthorne
charged with the crime is sufficient
to indicate that justice is in a fair
way to be vindicated.
The two women, Mrs. Byrd and
Mrs. Haynes, who we're implicated
in the affair have been charged with
being accessories and have also been
taken to Hawthorne. but will be re-
turned to Rawhide for a separate ex-
animation tomorrow Thursday.
1t is now pretty well established
that the strong pro-German senti-
ment which had its center about
Nagle's place of business, had much
to do with the affair and that Mrs
Kelly came to her death as a result
of her persistence in wearing an
American flag. One of the women
has admitted that she
tore the flag from the woman, while
the other has admitted putting it in
to the stove.
So far as known to the public,
there were no eyewitnesses to the af-
fair, which occurred in Nagles place
of business, but there is reason to
believe that some of those concerned
will turn States evidence when the
case comes TO trial.

TWENTY-TH|RD annual STATE FAIR
WAS OFFICIALLY OPENED TUESDAY

what they and their ancestors have
put into the development nd better
ment of the community, state or ma
tion.
Dr. Mead delivered the main ad-
dress and conveyed a message to his
hearers which is of great importance
to the welfare of the community and
which should have been listened to
by every resident of the project. DR..
Mead advocated a definite program
of four important steps which he
considers highly important for the
highest and most rapid development
of the Truckee-Carson project, as
follows:
/. Prompt steps for the organiza-
tion of the irrigation district and the
construction of an adequate drainage
system.
2. The establishment of a project
pasture under Government regula-
tion for the benefit of small farmers
and the encouragement of the live
stock industries.
3. Means of promptly preparing
for cultivation the undeveloped por- 4.
tions of farms of settlers now on the
project, and
4. Means for rapidly bringing the
remaining one hundred and fifty
thousand acres of the project under
cultivation and settlement.
A prompt and proper solution of
the drainage problem was put for
ward as a prime requisite for further
of the present cultiya-
ted area, for the future protection of
project lands and for the establish
ment of condition of stability such as
will invite settlers of the type need
ed to make the project complete
success. The relation of the drain
age problem to all phases of deyel-
opment were brought home force
ably to DR.. Meads hearers.
