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

1t 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 a tor
nado or hurricane will follow q 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 1t 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 of. 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.

running shape. He says there is an
abundance of ore blocked out in the
mine workings and on the dumps to
keep the mill running all summer

Loss Estimated at $2OO,OOO;
Ell Dorado Hotel and the
Wuertele Building
In Ashes

James Marr, who was on top of the
Smith building. lost his footing and
crashed to the ground, sustaining two
broken ribs, broken wrist and pos
sibly internal injuries. Mr.. Marr is
reported to be resting easily.
John Harris, who was among the
foremost of the fire fighters, is said
to be scorched, w. H. Ayres sustained
a badly wrenched back and dozen
others of the valiant crew are nurs-
ing various burns and contusions.
Sheriff Lamb was reported badly in
jured, but his presence in court this
afternoon disproyes the rumor.
Manager Sommers of the local
Western Union Office reports the tele-
graph service so badly disorganized
that a telegram TO Sacramento will
have to go to Salt Lake, from there to
San Francisco and to destination.
During the recent Incorporation
proceedings for the city of Winnie
mucca. one of the strongest talking
points in favor and the one which
induced many of our highest rate
payers to sign the petition. was the
promise of immediate and reasonably
efficient fire protection. In an inter-
view by the Silver State representa-
tive with Judge J. A. Langwith. city
attorney. this morning. the following
facts were learned:
THE City Council at meeting last
.s.x6 al or
the chemical engine for the city and
the tenders were taken under ad
visement The council was in session
until after IL O'Clock and the fire
alarm rang at IL. We are doing what
we can, but the truth is we have to
save at the spigot on account of the
extreme scarcity of funds in the city
treasury"
History tells us that Nero fiddled
while Rome burned, and while our
their best, it is about time the red
tape is cut and something done to
provide the city with fire protection.
We have fiddled for years and Winnie
mucca has sustained the damage OF
the fourth big fire, and each time the
property owners have held the sack.
What we need, and that immedi-
ately, is a first-class chemical engine,
and an auxiliary hose engine as well.
A paid fire department and a fire
warden always on the job, with the
apparatus always ready. the wrench
for the hydrant fastened to the engine
and not cached somewhere in the hose
house, as it was about year ago
when fire occurred and an outbuild-
ing with its contents destroyed on the
Capital lodging house property With
fire drill at least once week and
with the hose tested and proved de-
pendable, we may in time bleach out
the black eye which the city received
last night and this morning.
If We must provide for the old
timers, let us by all means give them
some inocuous and less responsible
position.

HALF-S0LED HER SAVING BANK


Business was good with Engls the
shoemaker. Many persons had brought
many shoes to his shop to be repaired.
and his cash drawer was full of strange
silver, says the Arizona Republican.
Came a boy early one morning bear
Ing q pair Of woman's shoes to be half
soled. The boy departed.
Shortly afterward Engle picked up
the woman's shoes. From the toe Of
one shoe fell a purse. fat and tightly
closed. Before the shoemaker had re-
covered from his establishment another
purse fell from the toe Of the other
shoe. Two purses, both fat
Engle opened the frst fat purse.
There was $500 In bills.
Then Engle turned to the second
purse. From that one came flashing
diamonds, necklaces. rings and ear
drops. More than $500 worth.
The shoemaker gathered up the bills
and the diamonds and put them safely
away and turned to his work. Count
Ing the bills or admirlng the diamonds
wouldn't make money for Engle.
Then frantic woman burst into the
shoemakers shop. No need for Engle
to inquire what she wanted or why
she was frantic. The shoemaker knew.
The shoes belonged to her and 80 did
the bills and diamonds and other
gems. She had taken her safety de-
posit vault to the shoe shop.
Almost In Mysteries the woman re-
covered her money and jewelry. more
than $500 In all. She clasped the two
purses to her and Immediately a great
relief spread over her. Placing 80 cents

IDAHO GOVERNOR REFUSES TO
GRANT EXTRADITION PAPERS

In the eyes of Governor Alexander
OF Idaho 1t is not crime for a boot
logger from that state to give worth
less checks while plying his avocation
in Nevada. At least. that is the stand
taken by the Idaho executive in the
case of Juan Garechuna, bootlegger
from Idaho, who issued several hun
dred dollars of valueless checks
in Winnemucca last fall. Garechuna
was arrested at Boise on a telegram
from Sheriff Lamb, extradition papers
were obtained and the sheriff went to
Boise last week after his prisoner.
But he didn't get him, because the
Idaho governor refused to honor the
extradition papers, stating that he
would not permit any man to be taken
from Idaho to answer a charge of
passing worthless checks in another
state when the money fraudulently
obtained was used to buy liquor to
take into Idaho, dry" state.
Sheriff Lamb returned from Boise
Friday evening. Though he didn't get
bis prisoner his trip was not entirely
fiuitless. Garechuna agreed to deposit
with the Idaho governor an amount of
money sufficient to take up the worth
less checks he (not the governor) had
passed in Winnemucca on his boot
Logging expedition. so those who were
;windled will get their money back.
The only loser will be the county,
which is out the expenses of Sheriff
Lambs trip to Boise.

At midnight last night the brazen
clang OF the fire bell aroused the IN
habitants of Winnemucca from slum-
ber. but. habit prevailing, many OF
them turned over and resumed the
sleep of fatigue.
As In every town with a volunteer
fire department, a faithful and long
suffering few rushed to the scene OF
the disaster, and, working manfuliy
and under the terrible handicap OF In
efficient fire apparatus and lack OF
water, partly succeeded, after seven
hours of strenuous and dangerous
work, in confning the flames to the
block bounded by Third and Fourth
streets and the alley between Bridge
and Baud streets.
A choice collection of shacks tmis-
named cabins) in the respective back
wards. probably the finest lot of fire
traps known in the city, furnished hne
spreading material and kept the blaze
rioting merrily. In 1901 the big fire
started in practically the same To-
eality and set the town back about
100000. with but scant insurance 10
offset the losses, on account OF almost
prohibitive rates.
The Ell Dorado Hotel is total loss.
II consisted of lie rooms, most OF
them with baths, and was built about
six years ago. When the new portion
of two stories was added a year ago
last November the structure was pro
nornced by coEHoisseurs the most
beautiful and handsomely appointed
hoStt Try in the state. With insurance
of $50. 900. Manager Phil Blume states
he stands to lose about 100000.
The wuertele building. adjoining
the hotel, occupied by Van valken-
berg's barber shop, IL. M. Couzin 5
cloak and suit house, and which was
the home of the owner. Charles Wuer-
tele and family, is totally destroyed.
Insurance was carried for only $1,000.
Everything portable was removed
from Vans barber shop and the En-
porium and their loss is probably
nominal.
John Smiths lodging house sus-
tanned no losses except shed in the
rear and the damage incident to the
removal of furniture rather suddenly.
The winnemucca Mining Company
and the Goldbanks Quick Silver Com
pany. under the management of w. G..
Adamson and Neph Adamson, with
Offices in the hotel. sustained loss Of
about $4,000. not counting many valu-
able papers and records which could
never be replaced at any price.
Across the street the Kleinhans
building had several plate glass win
dows broken by the heat, and the ad-
joining building. owned by F. C..
Robins and occupied by the Stephen
son Drug Company, is badly scorched
in front and six of the plate glass win
dows are wrecks. Whether any in
surance is carried it was this morning
impossible to ascertain.
Tom Lewis and DIR. A. A. Wendell
were overcome with smoke and heat
while manning a hose and were car
ried out insensible.
