FOURTH of JULY
IS CELEBRATED
Many Celebrations are Held
Throughout Elko County
This Year

Never was the Fourth of July cele-
brated in as many different places in
Elko county as this year. The City
of EISo did not celebrate and during
the greater par of the day the streets
were practically deserted. Residents
of this place went to other towns
where celebrations were held, and on
picnics. Lamoille, Starr Valley and
Wells drew the greater number of
Elko residents.
The Lamoille celebration was well
attended as it is every year. The
splendid grove at that place always
attracts a large crowd. Hundreds
were there from Elko, and all enjoyed
themselves exceedingly. Most of the
crowd took lunches, and at the noon
hour IN the grove it was like a big
r'cnic party.
In the forenoon literary exercises
were held, and this was followed by Il
ball game between the Elko and La
moille teams. II was of short dura-
tion. The Elko team soon ran up a
score of eight to nothing and the
/ Valley team threw up the sponge.
( Then came foot and horse racing,
which TGi Gished considerable excite
ment. In the evening there was a
fine display of fireworks and a grand
/ bail.
La Ia,
/ pleasantly spent. People were there
from every part of the county, and
the day was spent mostly in the big
groves. These was little of an cXcit-
ing nature, but all enjoyed themselves
greatly.
/ The biggest celebration was at
Wells. Literary exercises were held
and there was a fine program oi
sports, including foot racing, horse
racing, bronch riding, steer roping
etc. The band from Twin Falls
Idaho, was there, and several hun
drcd others fr,m that town, RogersoI
ana other p!aGs- !iosl across the line
In the evening there was a grand bal
at the hall. and there was also al
I0pen air dance. The celebration ther,
will last until tomorrow night. Man,
wcr" there from Elko yesterday ant
all had ! splendid time.
There was also a celebration in Car
lin, the big little railroad town to til,
west. Carlin's celebration was not a
pretentious as some of the others bu
Everyone had a good time.

TO PROTECT THE
SAGEHEN CROP

State Fish and tGame Warden
Grover states that according to re-
ports furnished him the sagehen crop
will be a rather short one this year
owing to the late and unfavorable
season. Officials and others inter
ested in the preservation of game in
Elko county are considering the ad.
visibility of filling up the northern
part OF that county with volun-
protect the Nevada game from the
onslaught. of Idahoans, who, with
an extended closed season on sage
hens in their own state, will slip
across in Nevada and get all such
game wanted. Extension of the
closed season on the sagehens is also
being seriously considered by those
who prefer to have the hens pro-
tected rather than eXterminated by Ii
censed hunters from adjoining states.
Similar conditions prevail in Hum.
boldt county. the northern part OF
which has been hunted by Oregon

expect TO soon furnish list of men
for appointment to deputy warden

POISON GASES MADE FROM
VENEZUELA PLANT

The Smithsonian Institution has is
sued the following:
A recent pamphlet on the field work
conducted by and for the Smithsonian
Institution states that while carrying
on botanical explorations in Venezuela
last fall DIR. ]. N. Rose, associate cura-
tor OF plants in the National Museum,
secured some interesting specimens of
sabadilla, Venezuelan plant of the
lily family, from the seeds of which
are produced some of the asphyxiat-
ing and tea.producing gases used by
the Germans in the present war.
The specimens were secured by DIR.
Rose through the cooperation of Con.
sui Homer Brett, La Guaira, Vene-
zuela, who stated in report of the de-
partment of commerce some time ago
that this plant is known locally as
cevadilla, a diminutive of the Spanish
word cebada. meaning barley. and oc-
ours in Venezuela and Mexico. Its
highly poisonous seeds have long been
used in medicine. The substances pro-
duced from sabadilla seed are caya-
dine. or crystallized veratric, an aka
loid; veratric acid, and sabadalline, a
heart stimulant
Neither the consular report nor the
Smithsonian pamphlet gives the fam
ula for the manufacture of the war
gases, but II is stated in the former
that the dust from the seed in the field
irritated the eyes, throat, and espe-
cially the nose. so much that the ma
tive laborers We're obliged to wear
masks. 1t has been reported that the
Germans had bought all the available
supply of these seeds before the de-
claration of war. Both the sabadilla
seeds and all preparations compound
ed from the mare now, however, de-
clared contraband by England.
Another plant OF the same genus
grows wild in Texas, and some botan,
lists beliYe that should need for sa.
badilla arise here it could easily be
| cultivated in Texas and in other
