FIREMEN HARD AT WORK on
PLANS FOR CELEBRATION

Plans for the celebration to be held
on Labor day, September 2. are being
carried forward with a vengeance by
the committees appointed by the Win
nemucca Volunteer Fire Department,
under whose auspices the carnival
will be held. sponsored by the Bust
ness Mems Association, and from the
way they are going at things it would
appear that the celebration is to be a
real one.
All of the committees have met for
the first time and the keynote-"get
things going and complete the details
with all possible haste"-seems to
have been so thoroughly impressed
upon their minds that they are send
ing the work along with all possible
speed and energy.

tees and more will be printed after
they have made their reports:

WIDOW MUST SEEK DAMAGES
FROM TOHOQUA NINE COMPANY

Clifford c. Blair, an employe of the
Tohoqua Mining Company, operating
at Leadville, Washoe county, was Sc
verely burned by gasoline explosion
on July 21st and died from the effects
of the burns at Winnemucca July n.
The employer had been operating un-
der the terms of the Nevada indus
trial act, but defaulted in its premium
payments, and did not renew its insur-
ance until several days after the acci-
dent. For this reason it appears that
the widow and young child of de-
ceased cannot seek compensation from
the commission. However, the en-
ployer becomes liable for damages
under the common law with all de-
fenses removed.-Carson Appeal.

FIRE PROTECTION
OBJECT OF SESSION

At meeting held last night of the
members of the city council and q
large committee appointed from the
Business Mems Association, called for
the purpose of discussing fire protec-
ton, several subjects were brought up.
The matter of the present condition
of street lights was gone over and it
was finally agreed that the council
will decide at their meeting next Mon
day night on what is to be done in this
respect, it being impossible to transact
business officially last night because
the meeting was not called for any
special purpose and the law is that
only the business announced in the
notice of special meeting can be trans
acted at that meeting.
Then it was pointed out to the coun-
Gil that numerous persons and prop
erty owners are allowing refuse to
accumulate near their buildings and
thus inviting further serious fires. A
committee of two of the business men
had investigated conditions existing in
back yards, alleys, etc, and called the
councils attention to the law con
cerning same, requesting that the law
be fully enforced
Weeds came in for their share of
criticism and. it was urged that the
council enforce the ordinance requir
ing the cleaning up of vacant lots, etc.
The council took defense in their
apparent laxity by presenting to the
committee financial statement show
ing the condition of the several funds,
showing why it was impossible to get
adequate fire-fghting apparatus and
Why the council is proceeding so
slowly with proposed Improvements.
The statement referred to is printed
in full at the end of this article and
shows the 1918 budget requirements
Of the city of Winnemucca, expendi-
lures for the first half of the year, or
10 July /, and shows the balances now
remaining of the several funds. In
connection with the $3854.55 still re-
naming in the Fire Department Ex-
Denses and Supplies" item it was
pointed out that the first payment on
the fire understanding over two
thousand dollars-must be paid out
Of this fund on the trucks arrival.
During the discussion Mayor Havi-
land dropped bomb for his hearers
by stating that while in San Francisco
he had called at the offices of the
American-La France Company to in
quire when the new fire truck would
be delivered. He was informed there
that owing to the government having
commandeered so much of the product
turned out by the company that the
delivery of Winnemuccas truck has
been indefinitely postponed.

the building represents a combination
hotel, gambling house and dance hail
that supplied all the requirements OF
good shelter and amusement for the

Most of the scenes of the play are
enacted under this roof, and there is
little of the wild, outdoor life usually
associated with a Hart picture. In
stead OF the familiar cowpunchers
there is a molly crowd of lumbermen

even in these unfamiliar surroundings
Hart loses not a whit of his effective
ness and in his new setting gains in
picturesqueness

FRIEDMAN OPPOSES
COUNTY DIVISION

A mass meeting was held in Win.
neva hall Tuesday evening under the
aspices of the Business Mems Asso-
citation to discuss the advisability Of
placing legislative ticket in the field
pledged to oppose any attempts to
divide Humboldt county. w. J. Bell
was endorsed for the senate during
the evening and a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate and urge men
suited to represent this county in the
state assembly, and TO report their
findings at another special meeting to
be held tonight
Mayor l.. A. Friedman of Lovelock
was present by invitation at the meet
ing Tuesday evening. Mayor Fried
man is candidate for the Democratic
nomination for state senator and upon
being requested to address the meet
ing Mr.. Friedman stated that the peo-
pie of Lovelock and the south end
of the county were not in favor of
county division, but they were opposed
to the issuance of bonds for the build
ing Of new courthouse, at least dur
ing the continuance of the war, on
account of the vastly increased cost
of building materials.
Mr.. Friedman stated that in his
opinion county bonds could not be
sold now at less than an interest rate
of eight per cent, which would lay too
heavy burden on the taxpayers OF
the county and would certainly not
be favored by them. He pointed out
that labor has raised a fraction less
than 81 to 120 per cent, material 40
per cent, and that the $25 900 which
has been received for the insurance
could be utilized to rebuild the court
house and there need be no bond in
debtedness. The suggestion that in
stead of the 21-fuot ceilings of the old
building, Is feet should be enough and
| hat the expense of heating could be
cut in half, was eoncurred in by Mr..
| Friedman. With the second story re-
moved, the foundation reinforced and
a Moorish style of building with a
stucco finish and several rooms added
would be much more artistic and less
like gigantic drygoods box which the
| county courthouse resembled Mr.
/ Friedman added that if agreeable to
the taxpayers and others he would
take the contract himself and turn oLt
an up-to-date building which woulC
please the eye as well as the POCKET
| books of the taxpayers.
when thousands of our boys collie
home from the war" he said, "eE-
| ployment must be foGnd for them
there must be employment for them
and it will be up to the state and ma
| ton to find work for them. Then if
we want an expensive building, which
would take probably three years in
constructing, by all means let us have
I. In the meanwhile let us Hooverize
N building as in every thing else"
Similar expressions of opinion were
made by e. Reinhart, C. L. Tobin and
G. B. Brown. They opposed issuance
of bonds for a new courthouse at this
time and expressed the belief that the
present courthouse could be made to
ill the needs of the county for several
years. The sentiment expressed by
these speakers seemed to meet the
| approval of the meeting and no con-
| trary opinions were expressed.
