The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1918-04-02

The company of volunteer firemen
recently organized is going ahead in
such fashion that Winnemucca will
soon have a real fire department.
At 9 o'clock Sunday morning the boys
met for drill and at adjournment it
the fire bell rung some time that
afternoon for a test. 1t caused some
anxiety among the people of this city,
but in view of past fires it may not be
a bad idea to keep the thought before
them until something concrete is ac-
complished in the matter of fire pro
lection.
Last night the fire boys met again.
The new inch-and-a-half hose had ar
rived and 1t was Immediately tried
out, under direction of Chief Tholen
and V. II. Brown, secretary of the
American-La France Fire Engine
Company. Two streams of water
were easily thrown over the top of
the courthouse and the new equip
ment was voted the best protection
now available in this city and a great
improvement over the old.
This evening at $3.50 o'clock the
volunteers will hold another meeting.
this time to go through a regular drill
with both hose and ladders. 1t is
probable the Nixon opera house will
be the scene of an imaginary fire. Mr..
Brown. who has graduated from all
the principal fire colleges in the
United States. has been prevailed
upon to instruct the new firemen in
the many phases of the work. The
work tonight will include "the easy
way" to get a heavy hose on top of
a building. After 1t gets too dark to
drill further, the company will return
to the fire house and there be orally
instructed by Mr. Brown from the
latest text books on the science Of
fighting fire. Great enthusiasm is
manifest and it is predicted that this
city will soon have a fire department
ot which il will be proud.

Writing from the National capital to friends in Seward, Mrs. Charles A. Salzer. wife of Alaska'& Delegate to Congress says:
 There is so much oi interest just now th;.t one hardly know, where to begin. When the rresident speaks to the joint session, admission to the gal lerieS is by ticket only. ana IsuaIly each Congressman has but one ticket.

He came and read his now famous peace proposals. He read very slowly and distinctly, md every one appeared to realize that he was very much i0 earnest. II" was repeatedly chccred, every one ,'and ing. When he retired the Serbian Mission came in and were warmly 70 ceived. They were line looking men iressed in khaki colored uniforms, very much like our own soldiers. The Minister addressed the House Tn un- dcrstandable English until he tried to say interchangeable. He attempted to say the word three times ard ther very tactfully gave it up.

House convened at eleven o'clock with Billy Sunday leading in prayer. He made a splendid prayer, but talked so rapidly that the House stenographer couldn't take down all he said. Billy never fails to tell the Lord what he thinks of the Kaiser. When he fin ished speaking the people applauded. 1t was the first time l had ever heard a prayer applauded. The galleries were filled to overflowing and there were long lines of women waiting at each door. A great many of the wo- men had brought their lunches in tkeir knitting bags and these stayed until 7:l5 m the evening when the amend ment was passed by one vote. Miss Jeanette Rankin made the opening speech ir favor of the amendment. Congressman Clark, of Florida, made the principal speech against it.
 "On the preceding Monday l had attended the committee hearing on the suffrage amendment. Ex-SenaJor Bailey, of Texas, spoke against 1t. He used that old hackneyed argument or the breaking up of the home and pie tured women walking along the streets smoking cigars. He also made the astonishing statement that he liked tC know when he left his home in the morning that his wife was in his castle, but the whole wide world was his to conquer. After him came Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. She spoke for suffrage and when she got through the gentleman from Texas hadn't d leg left to stand on. It was a pleas ure to listen to Mrs. Catt. She has wonderful poise and is direct and To- cical in her arguments.
 "I'd like to tell you something about the weather here. We have had as low as six below zero, unheard of in Washington before, and it was almost unbearable. l have never in all my twelve years residence in Alaska been so thoroughly cold ahd miserable as during the past tl.ree weeks in W%sh ington. Dr. Garfeld's closing order created quite a fume here, but from all can gather it was very necessary to awaken the people to the stern realities we are facing and will have to face in the future if the war con- tinucS.
 Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is a very beautiful woman, very young looking, and she knows how to dress. saw her at one of the joint sessions in com pany with an English duchess. Mrs. Wilson wore becomingly tailored suit of rich black material and hat to match The only touch of color was a broad band of red around the hat and a large corsage flower of the same color. The effect was stunning. Of course, 1 sat Tn the gallery, but Son ny sat with his dad in the House and was introduced to many distinguished members.
 "Mr. Sulzer and Sonny join nc in rest wishes to all our friends whom you may see, and especially to yoor- selves. Be sure ana write me all the Alaska news.
