LOCAL BALL TEAM
DEFEATED BY ELKS

Six hundred dollars worth of war
savings stamps and certificates were
sold at the ball park yesterday after
noon and at the dance given in the
Nixon opera house last night through
the efforts of the Reno Elks baseball
team. The Elks sent their baseball
team and other workers on a tour of
the state to stimulate the sale of war
savings stamps and they are meeting
with most gratifying success.
The baseball game played yesterday
afternoon between the Elks and the
Winnemucca team was fast and clean,
the visitors winning by a score of
work and generalship, Captain Walter
Nagle of the Elks displaying his great
knowledge of the game, gained
through years of playing in the Pacific
Coast League and the American
League. At that, it is a safe bet that
the Winnemucca players would be the
yictors in a return engageemnt, given
two or three weeks further practice.
When it is taken into consideration
that the team which played the Elks
yesterday had only had a few days
practice together and also that they
held the Reno men to less runs than
they have made in any previous game,
due in great measure TO the good
pitching of Banks Arant, il will be
conceded that the Winnemucca boys
played asgood game of baseball
Saturday the Elks defeated the Fal-
Ion baseball nine by score of 19 to z,
and Sunday they added another vic
tory TO their string by defeating Love-
lock 10 to 5. The sale of war savings
stamps at both Lovelock and Fallon
was big and the three machines that
the Elks are carrying with them on
the trip to rattle off stamps have been
very well patronized The trip so far
has been very successful and the
members of the team expect to add
several thousand dollars to the Ne
vada war stamp total before the trip
is concluded. The Red Cross will
also be benefited, because the waT
savings certificates are sold for $425
and the Red Cross gets the small
change-eight cents on each certifi-
cate sold this week. In this manRel
about $3.50 was taken in for the Rec
! Cross here yesterday.

BETTER, CHEAPER, CLEANER
COOKING USING ELECTRICITY

Women have long known that cleo
trio cooking is cleaner, that it ban
ishes all the dust and ashes of coal
and wood, all the SCOT and fumes OF
kerosene. They have known that it
makes the kitchen coolers the air
purer; that it is the most convenient
way to cook. They have the word of
women who stand for the most scien-
tific cooking methods known, that
electric cooking produces better re-
suits than any other means.
To encourage the use of electricity
for cooking the Winnemueca Water
& Light Company has greatly reduced
the rate for this service and is selling
electric stoves at twenty per cent of
list price. Contrary to the common
opinion, these stoves are within th'
price reach of ALL an entirely salts

FLAMES DESTROY
old LANDMARK

AT $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning
fire OF unknown origin burned to the
ground the Hotel Europa in Sparks.
The blaze started in the barroom but
the proprietor. NJ. Gardella, has no
idea how il originated.
At the time that the fire was first
seen the whole lower portion of the
building was a mass of flames and
although the fire engine arrived in
short order after the whistle sounded
the structure was doomed, as was also
a smaller building adjoining which
was occupied by a number of Japan
ese. On account of the rapidity with
which the flames spread there were
several very narrow escapes from the
burning structure. Few of the room
ers had time to dress and all lost
their personal belongings.
The Europa Hotel was located at
the southwest corner of 7th and C
streets and was among the first struc-
lures erected in Sparks, being built
when the Southern Pacific division
point was moved from Wadsworth to
Sparks. Only small amount of in
surance is in force to cover the loss
of about $4,000. The japanese resi-
dents of the small building adjoining
claim to have lost some $4,000 in
checks that were destroyed by the
blaze.

FIRE PROTECTION
OCCUPIES COUNCIL

The meeting of the City Council.
held last night, was practically en-
tlrely taken up by consideration of
better fire protection. Aside from the
reading of the minutes and several
unimportant communications. the
council devoted the evening to a dis
cussion of ways and means of gaining
better water pressure and methods Of
adequate protection pending the ar
rival of the new chemical truck. A
committee from the Winnemueea Vol
unteer Fire Department was there to
offer suggestions and asked the coun-
Gil to hire a truck to be kent in the
hose house, to contain the fire tools.
etc, and to be attached to the hose
cart, which request was granted. The
committee appointed to investigate
an efficient fire whistle is still corre-
spending with different firms and had
no report to make last night, except
that the other siren whistle tried out
several weeks ago was inadequate
and rejected. The matter of purchas-
ing the water system and improving
same to an extent sufficient to supply
the fire pressure needs of the city was
laid on the table for further con-
sideration. The resignation of Ger
hart Tholen as fire chief was accepted
and the members of the fire depart
ment asked to recommend the man
they consider best qualified for that
position.
