INDIAN DAY PROGRAM
GIVEN IN GOLDFTELD

Indian Day" given at the club
house Thursday by Mrs. Sidney II.
Morris with Mrs. Joseph B. Ken
dali club hostess, proved to be a
very entertaining and instructive
program. The club room was con-
verified into a sort of Indian Tee
pee' by being artistically decorated
with Navajo rugs and beautiful In
dian baskets. Mrs. Morris read an
Interesting paper on "The Indians
OF the South" relating some in
teresting personal conversations
with the Indians living on the Mexi-
can border, also of witnessing some
OF their wonderful dances and races
on celebration days. Mrs. Morris
then read Longfellow's beautiful
Indian legend of "Hiawatha" assist
ed by twenty of the club ladies, after
which cake, tea and sandwiches
were served to all present. The
afternoon was voted a huge sue
cess and the club ladies went home
with a vote of thanks to Mrs. Nor
ris and Mrs. Kendall for their UNI
firing efforts in providing such a
pleasant and profitable afternoon.

Las Vegas Man Is Jailed

owen Halpin, well known by all
residents in and around Las Vegas
for 10 years and a large property
owner at that place, was recently
placed in the county Jail to serve
a sentence of 60 days on a charge
of stealing a rug valued at $3.50
from the kindergarten of the local
schools. He was arrested follow
ing the searching Of his premises
in Old Town by Sheriff Sam Gay
who, in spite of the incredulity of
all Halpin's friends, asserted that
he was the man wanted for the
theft. Halpin claimed that a
friend had carried the rug away and
hidden it in Old Town, but he re-
fused to tell the name of the friend.
The justice promised him mercy if
he would make a clean breast of
the whole affair, but Halpin refus-
ed to do so.

Forgotten Deed Is Made Out

made u by the present sheriff of

the Clarendon and adjacent proper

the absence of the deed. In 1881
the sheriff a~uctioned off the 16 feet
of ground to satisfy a judgment.
The property was bought by one
Joe Odette, to whom the sheriff
gave a certificate of sale, but for
got to make out a deed. Later
Odette sold the property to the late

lointed Mrs. r. E. Humphrey. of
Reno, to fill the vacancy on that

department of the Federation and
has been interested in this line OF
work for many years. Not only has
she given much time to the study
of this subject but has had several
years of practical experience along
these lines. 1t is doubtful whether
the governor could have found a
more efficient m for the APP

and sound level judgment will win
the confidence of the general pub
lie. The Federation is truly ap-
preciative and extends thanks to
the governor.
Mrs. F. E. Humphrey, of 467

Fl. Wheeler, Reno; Mrs. F. M. Lee,
Reno: Mrs. c. p. Squires, Las
Vegas; Mrs. ]. B. Humphrey, Gold

bers of the department and to all
club presidents to see that each
club has at least one program dur
ing the year on social betterment.

DRINK INCREASES
DUR|NGPASTyEAR
CIGARETTE CONSUMPTION
GREATEST ON RECORD

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81
The amount of whisky consumed by
the American people in 1916 ap-
p%arently was greater than in any
previous year since 1909, according
to tax returns to the treasury de-
partment compiled today, n the
amount of revenue collected by the
government on whisky, beer and
cigarettes during the year was the
greatest on record.
While returns show that the tend
ency toward prohibition has not low
cred the governments revenue from
whisky, officials believe a portion
of the increase - nearly $4,000
600 more than in 1915-is attribut-
able to the fact that the government
is at present collecting taxes on all
whisky produced in the country,
whereas, because of extensive frauds,
such was not the case a few years
ago.
Consumption of cigarettes in 1916
reached the highest mark ever re-
corded. The tremendous increase,
more than 40 per cent over 1915, is
attributed to two main causes-in-
creased prosperity of the country
and growth of the cigarette habit
among m Many millions of
cigarettes made for feminine users
were produced in this country and
imported during the past year,
whereas a few years ago production
and importation of such cigarettes
were negligible by comparison.

mines located at Ely, Nevada, an"
nouncement of change in the control
of which was made several weeks
aro. was effected recently at a
neeting held in the offices OF the
companv in the Judge building, Salt
Lake.

that in order to avoid the expense
of transfer fees, corporation
and other expenses, the stockholders
OF the company will be asked to re-
dnce the capital from 1O,OOO,Oo0
to 1900, 900 shares, of the par
value of 81 each, with the addition
al feature that the stock be hanse
from assessable to worcestershire
will be acted upon.
In an official statement issued
IL is poin ed out that the present
financing of the company will fur-
r.sh a treasury fund of about 500
600 and that the main and expensive
DEVELOPMENT work has been complet-
ed and paid for. The property be-
ing patented and clear of debt, the
conditions lead the directors to be-
lieve that there is in the treasury
funds sufficient to put the mine on
an earning basis, but to guard
against any emergencies or contin-
gencies there will be left in the
treasury 5000 shares, not to be
issued or offered for sale unless the
the proceeds should be absolutely
required for equipment and devel-
opment.
This gives holders of shares an
exchange thGt does not affect the
amount of thor holdings, as they
will receive share for share, save
that the p~arvalue of the stock is
decreased and the saving effected in
