To Boost Bond Issue.
Tho matter of the liberty bond issue
was brought up for discussion and
several enthusiastic speeches were
made. Mr.. NJ. e. Jones explained to
those present that Crawford county's
allotment OF this issue would be $994,-
900. which would mean that every
man. woman and child in the county
would have to take in the noighbor-
hood of $50 of the issue. He explain
cd that it was our duty to support the
government as VIC are the government
and if we could not go into the firing
line the least we could do was to loan
funds to the government to keep our
armies in the field His address
brought forth hearty applause.
G. l.. Caswell gave a spirited talk
in regard to the bond issue and what
was expected of Crawford county. He
complained of the patriotism shown
by some people who go to the trains
to bid the soldiers good bye and shed
crocodile tears, but when it came to
subscribing money to the Red Cross,
Y. NJ. G.. A. or to taxing liberty bonds,
they failed to do their part.
Sears McHcnry spoke of the burden
the loan places on the banks of the
country and particularly of Crawford
county. He showed clearly that the
banks in this locality could not be
expected to- handle the cOunty's allOt-
ment alone for it would cripple every
industry IN the community. Mr.. Nc
Henry stated that he hoped that the
county wa uld make a good showing
and particularly expressed hope that
those of moderate means would take
out a bond. Every bank in Denison,
stated Mr.. McHenry. will loan money
at per cent to those who desire to
purchase a bond and would hold the
bond Tor security.
Following Mr. McHenry, Mr.. Carl II.
Kuehnle spoke on the matter. Mr..
Kuehnlc stated that the time had
passed to discuss whether or not the
United States should enter the war.
but now that we are engaged in it it is
up to everyone to support the govern
ment. He pointed out that fathers and
mothers had given their sons and
there would be more. that would have
to part with theirs and now the gov
eminent was asking for funds to- keep
these men in the field. The govern

five feet of new snow fell in the water
shed of the Carson river, with probab-
ility of more to come. Two feet and

telephone message from Truckee to
the effect that between 200 and 300
feet OF snowsheds had collapsed Just

would pass through for Is hours. This
report, Southern Pacific officials
stamped as erroneous.

W|NGF|ELO RUNS
ASSEMBLY
BOOHER MAKES CHARGES
FROM FLOOR OF HOUSE
Declares that Bill AbOlishing
Horse Racing Direct Result
of Such Belief

A fervent appeal to the assembly
not TO commit the educational gamb-
ling bill to the public morals commit
tee and the charge that Reno men
were displaying unusual interest in
defeating all proposed gambling legis-
lation, were made IN the house Tues
day by Booher of Elko. The appeal
however, fell upon deaf ears and the
bill was sent to the public morals
body
The fight on the gambling measure
was started during the morning ses-
sion when the question of adoption
the educational committee substitute
for bill No. SO was brough up. The
original bill, introduced By Booher
called for the repeal of the act Great
ing the state racing commission. The
substitute measure, in addition to pro-
hibiting betting in horse races, placed
all forms of gambling, including slot
machines under the ban, although the
playing of a social game of cards for
drinks or cigars would be permitted.
Booher moved for the adoption o.
the substitute. but an amendment to
the motion was substituted by McNa
mara, who sought to refer the meas
ure to the public morals committee.
1t was then that Booher appealed "a
gainst such actino.
IF the bill goes TO the public NOR
ais committee" declared Booher, 1T
will sleep the sleep that knows no
awakening"
Booher then charged Reno men
with being active in working for the
defeat OF all gambling legislation. He
declared he had been informed OF
conversation between Senator Chaplin
and Mr.. Burton and Mr.. ellison
both of Reno, which he related as
follows:
Burton and ellison asked Senator
Chaplin the status of senate bill No.

piled the bill would be reported out

ton announced.

Because the assembly won't let
you take any action, was Bnrton's
response.
Booher said he had been informed
of the conversation by Senator Chap-
in personally and had secured the
consent of the senator in repeating IT,

STORMS AND FOREST TREES
Timber Most Firmly Rooted Will En-
dure Strain Better Than That Of
Strongest Wood.

It Is always interesting to watch
the effect of storms anywhere, but in
the woods these effects are most va
ried and remarkable, says a writer.
1t frequently happens that tor
nado or hurricane will follow GER
tain course and level only the trees
in this line, often leaping from place
to place. In such cases all trees in
its swath suffer or are blown down ;
but where there is a general very high
wind and all trees are hit with about
the same force it may be noted that
the best rooted ones and not those of
the strongest wood survive.
Wind resistance of the whole tree
has also something to do with the
bending character of the trunk and
branches, for where these give before
the force of the storm they permit the
wind to slide off. The hickory, above
all, will not yield, and consequently
receives the hardest strain against its
entire top, whether full leaved or bare.
1t may be commonly noticed that In
a mixed woodland, where hard wind
has driven, there are more hickOries
down than any other trees.
