cY MEASURE FOR SAFETY OF
UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, Feb. lO.--The sen.
ate military affairs committee this
morning reported favorably on the bill
which provides for universal military
training. The present crisis with Ger
many was responsible for the hasten.
ed consideration OF the bill and the
committee recommended It's immedi-
ate passage.
Senator Chamberlain Is chairman of
the committee and he will make an ef.
fort TO have II taken up as soon as
possible. The committee is cognizant
of the need for strong army in case
OF hostilties. and this bill would leave
the way open for quick mobilization
OF troops from among the citizens OF
military age.
The bill has met with opposition
from many sources. chiefly from
among the labor organizations and
their sympathizers. The influence
against the bill was strong until the
coming Of the present crisis the chief
objection being that IL would virtually
enslave the United States citizens
within the tentacles Of a merciless mill.
tarism. The pacIfist element reads
danger in every line OF the bill. be-
lieving that II will have an influence
to create war spirit.

port that was circulated In official cir.
cles that Germany had sent a COM
munication to the United States sug-
gesting a parley to devise means for
preventing war between the two ma.

ignorance OF the reported move of
Germany. Despite these deniRls there
is evidence of unusual activity at the
state department. Lansing called on
Phillips, assistant to Polk the coun-

report of the move on the part of Ger.

MAYER CELEBRATION

The celebration of the third ami

which was held in the ball room. A
large crowd of people was in attend.
ance. 1t seemed that nearly every
body in town was there. Besides those
who attended from the town of Elko
there were great number from out
side points. 1t was one of the notable
social affairs this season and the
guests enjoyed an evening of pleaC.
ure unsurpassed. Since the manage.
ment decided to change the billiard
room into a ball room for the accom-.
odation of their guests the public has
expressed approval in a flattering man.
ner and the place has received great
patronage. About once a week the
management gives a dance for their
guests to which the public is also in.
Vited. These have proved very popu
lar affairs and there is always a large
attendance. The floor is one of the
finest In the state, and the manage
ment always provides the best music
The ball room has also proved to b,
very convenient for the matrons o
the social set and others who wish {,
entertain exclusively or otherwise.

FINE BASKET BALL
ELKO Wins HAND|LY

Last night basketball fans who wit.
messed the games at the Bradley were
served with a real treat. The main
event OF the evening was the game be.
tween Elko high school and Lovelock
high school and this was one of the
very fastest games ever played by the
local boys. The game started with
terrific playing on both sides, but it
was only a short time uttil the
visitors were tagging behind.
The visitors started the lead but the
superb playing OF the Elko team soon
put a transposition In the score. The
first half had gone but a little while
when the Lovelock boys were proud
to gaze upon the score board. They
had twelve points and the home team
trailed in the dust, right up where II
was thickest. with ten points. The
home boys gave each other a few
knowing winks and the assault on the
front line trench of the score began.
II was not long until the Elko players
were a good lap in the lead with the
visitors trailing stubbornIy along.
Then until the finish of the game the
home boys never gave the visiting
team chance to come abreast OF them
in the race. The playing was fast from
the start and the mere winning OF the
game by the local players, even by the
wide margin in the score, does not
imply that those Lovelock boys are
not in the same class. The local boys
had the advantage Of being accustomed
to the place where the game was
staged. This was probably a great
help, and it is likely that the visitors
would stand good chance to take
home the honor II they had played as
many games in the Bradley as the
home boys have.
The Lovelock boys are a nice crowd
and the game was clean all the way
through. There was no wrangling over
the decisions of the referee and the
visiting team proved themselves gen
tlemen. and good sports. A large audi
ence witnessed the games and every
body was pleased at the sportsman
like spirit that entered into the play.

calf was the referee.
The game between the grammar
school and the junior high school was
also very fast and afforded much en-
tertainment for the spectators. The
grammar boys seem to have a special
pound for keeping the goat of the
juniors.
AS soon as the game was arranged
between these two teams the Junior
goat hoped over the corral and skip.
ped about until few OF the grammar
boys saw 1t sport'gy away from the
home ranch. The aid mythical ami
NAL is contraband wherever found, and
the grammar boys captured the truant
Angora with great glee. They did this
several times lately. 1t is now a habit
with them. They shamelessly took
all the candy away from the juniors,
save nine little pieces. The grammar
boys had thirty.seven points against
the nine. 1t was said the high school
flag hung at half mast today.

Industrial Promise
The feeling through the camp Is
very optimistic for the future and
everyone is looking forward to a very
lively and profitable summer. There
have been many enquiries for proper
ties nearly every prospect with any
showing has been bonded, still there
are many desirably located properties
which may, with development, open up
as valuable ore deposits as any of
those already developed. Some very
promising discoveries were made late
last fall in the south end Of the dis
trict, near the head of the Jarbidge
river and about nine miles from the
town Of Jarbidge ,and also in the
Jack creek section OF the district
about three miles east Of the town. Re.
cent development work has been al
most wholly confined to that portion
OF the district adjacent to the Long
Hike and Buster mines, but the re-
mafkably fine showings made In these
mines stimulated prospecting in the
balance of the district and much of the
ground was relocated, and in many
instances good indications were found.

The power drills In the legitimate

work and the company is well pleased
that II went to the expense OF install.

house was built near the mouth of the
tunnel and water was brought from a
spring about 200 feet above the tun.
mel, in the head of the north fork of
Bourne gulch, which supplies the
drills with a good supply and with
abundant pressure, and also furnishes
water to the boarding house and for
all other uses.
Roads Needed
The great necessity OF an all.the.
year'around road has been felt more
than ever this year, owing partly TO
the larger number of residents and
the added fact that more OF them were
working and the requirements were
greater. For some time there was too
much snow and the Commercial club
had to send out a team and men with
snow plows to level off the road on
several occasions. and also do more
or less shovelling through drifts and
slids; now with the break in the cold
weather and few days OF strong sun
the snow is rapidly going from one
side OF the road so that there Is rap.
