SIGNERS ASK FOR
CITY GOVERNMENT

A petition asking for the inc jrpora-

ia Winnemucca by J. H. Bible. This
petition, which was started in c.r'u-
lation a considerable time ago con-
tains the names of many of those
who have been for a long time resi-
dents here, and who have expressed
the belief that the town would be
better able to forge ahead under
local government, eliminating the
long distance between the seat Of
law-making and the place for which
the laws were made.
The petition was started at mass
meeting called by leading citizens,
and at which strong sentiment for
Incorporation was brought out during
an open-forum discussion for and
against. Miner.

WHY NOT A FOURTH OF
JULY THIS YEAR

Will Phoebe celebrate the Fourth
of July this year? By all means we
should do something to display our
patriotism and there never was a
time when the people should gather
and arouse enthusiasm for the flag
and the nation as this year
Caliente citizens, and they deserve
the highest credit for it, have had
flag day demonstration. Not one
other town in Lincoln county has
made a single move in that direction.
SO why not now make up for lost
time and begin to prepare for a
celebration on the Fourth of July,
1t is none too early to begin now.
Other towns in the state have called
meetings and have begun to make
arrangements. Who is going to take
the initiative?
