FISH LAKE VALLEY
ENTHUSIASTIC
FOR LOAN
RANCH COMMUNITY DEMON
STRATES PATRIOTISM AND
HOSPITALITY JOINTLY

at the Liberty Loan meeting held on
Saturday night at Molini brothers
ranch. This ranch is situated near
the center of the valley and has the
advantage of a public hall and the
hall has the advantage of an excel
lent dancing floor, a feature that
came into continuous service for sew
eral hours after the Liberty Loan
problem had been properly disposed
of.
Those in attendance anne from all
parts of the valley, in some instances
as far as 20 miles, to attend the
meeting and the hall was filled when
the meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Alex Molini, who had been chos-
en- to preside. The Goldfield delega-
ton included as many as seven cars
could carry. In addition, Judge
Walsh, director of the county council
of defense, accompanied by Mrs.
Walsh. had driven in from Haw-
thorne, where Judge Walsh had been
holding court.
Judge E. Carter Edwards, V. l..
Ricketts, and Judge Walsh spoke
briefly, explaining the character of
the loan and the governments need
of it, and ~endeavoring to impress
upon the meeting the reasons why
every man should make the success
full prosecution of the war his first
duty and why he should place at the
disposal of his country in the most
effective manner possible, by loans
and otherwise, his every available re-
source.
Fish Lake valley, like nearly every
other district in the county, had al
ready subscribed for it's full quota of
bonds under the third Liberty Loan,
but there is every assurance that this
valley will fully participate with the
rest of the county in subscriptions
that will more than double the oun
tvs quota.
The first of the Goldfield delega-
ton, including several cars, left for
the valley about 1880 Saturday
afternoon, stopping at Silver Peak,
where a meetoing was arranged for,
to be held as soon as the forthcom-
ing payday in that camp shall have
been announced. That is likely to
be about the middle of the present
week. Other ears from Goldfield
followed, one starting as late as
1870. The distance to the Molini
ranch is about Is miles.
The ranchers of the valley main
tanned their well-established record
of hospitality, and although the dele
cation was much larger than had
been anticipated or announced, ev-
erybody was made comfortable and
nothing was overlooked in the well
come that was extended. The bur-
den of caring for the visitors fell
Molini and Mr.. and Mrs. David Pat
terson, by reason of their location,
and these homes were thrown open
as wide as all the doors would per-
NIT.
Mrs. William Damon and Miss
Sarah Rosenstein were members of
the Goldfield delegation and with pi-
ano and violin assisted the speakers
in entertaining and interesting the
crowd. When the Liberty Loan
meeting was concluded Mrs. Damon
again went to the piano and Miss Ros-
enstein took her violin to the raised
platform and a dance started that
continued until the sun was almost
visible over the mountain range that
skirts the valley to the east.
Mr.. Alex Molini, who had presided
at the Liberty Loan meeting, now
assumed the functions of a master
of ceremonies and floor manager"
at the dance. Incidentally he prov
ed himself as versatile and resource
full in this capacity as he has in help
ing to open up this big valley to ag-
ricultural development.

Goldfield were the following: Mr..
and Mrs. r. T. Armstrong, Mr.. and
