AFTER WRITER DIED

This brave lad gave his life for you
and me, that our country might be
free. His father, a citizen of Oakland.
California, received this letter a short
time ago after the writer had died in
France and forwarded it to an inti-
mate friend in Winnemucca:
Camp Kearney, Cal, Feb. 20. 1918.
To My Dear Father:

EXTRAORDINARY
PICTURE TONIGHT

Little Bessie Love, Bonnie. Sweet
Bessie" is to be seen in the first
OF her new Pathe Plays, "The Great
Adventure" at the American theatre
tonight Miss Love is the Los An
geles schoolgirl who less than two
years ago managed to secure a posi-
ton as extra" with a big notion
picture producing concern and inside
OF few weeks made such deep
impression upon the directors of the
organization that she was rapidly adj
yanced to better parts and then soon
became one of the most popular stars
of the screen.
Miss Love has won high praise with
her work. An editorial in Photoplay
Journal, in recent issue, SAYS in
part: 1T is becoming a rule upon
which you can rely, a Bessie Love
delight. Indeed she is going to be
one of the most consistent distribu-
tors fo sunsine on the screen today
and she may be assured of performing
a valuable service to mankind in this
respect, especially in view of the war
and the worries it entails. Each pic
ture gives Miss Love a more firmly
established right to championship as
lightweight comedienne extraor-
dinary"
Fine as are the results that Miss
Love has already attained, great as is
her following, the best critics are
unanimous in their belief that she has
by no means reached the maximum
of her abilities. She is very young
and ambitious and ready to learn.
Her present is brilliant. There is no
reason to doubt that her future will
be still more brilliant. "The Great
Adventure" in itself offers proof as
to why her success has been SO
marked.

II. NJ Couzin of The Emporium re-
turned this morning from Reno. He
left here Monday morning with an
automobile party. which stopped over
night in Loyelock. Tuesday, when
about 25 miles west of Lovelock, be-
tween Lovelock and Wadsworth, the
car, big National, became stuck in
mud and in an effort to extricate same
the driver burnt out the clutch and
broke an axle, the hurry being caused
by an awe-inspiring sight of sheet
of water, caused by a cloudburst, COM
ing toward the car. As Mr.. Couzin
put it: "In about a minute the water
was over the running boards, into the
car and then we were all sitting in
water before we could move. 1t GER
tainly was a scared bunch Of people
in that car"
But soon after other cars came
along and carried the party into Fern
ley. at which place a train was board
ed for the remainder of the trip. Mr..
Couzin states that about ten miles of
the road between Lovelock and Wads-
worth is completely wash away, due
TO the cloudburst.

MANY ADVANTAGES GAINED
WORKING IN MODERN FASHION

Mrs. +. X Lemcke- Barkhausen,
principal, Greater New York Cooking
School, says: Progress in the home
IL today the interesting topic to
housekeepers and culinary teachers.
Foremost of all is electric cooking.
In its easy use, cleanliness and as
sured results it is a revelation, a test
being all that is required to prove it..
The key TO scientific cooking is cleo
tricity. The heat is always even,
steady and dependable, meaning less
shrinkage in meats, no worry and
considerable saving of time"
No SCOT to gather, no kerosene to
spill. no unpleasant odor to breathe,
no trimming of wicks, no coal, wood
and ashes to carry, and no danger
when cooking on an electric stove
Nothing to do but twist the switch
And to encourage the use of cleo
tricity for cooking purposes, the Win
nemueca Water e. Light Company has
made a very low rate for this purpose,
and is selling the best line of stoves
obtainable at a discount of 20 per
cent off list price. making same so
low as to be within the buying limit
of all.
Stop in at the office and ask about
this new opportunity. Information
will be gladly given and you will not
be under any obligation to buy at all
It's the cheapest satisfactory fuel
obtainable.- advertisement

CLOUDBURSTS ARE
REPORTED DAILY

In this country old Jupiter Pluvius
seldom deigns to dole out an excess
of water and it is said by old-timers
that so severe a succession of rains
and cloudbursts has not been known
for thirty years, at which time Willow
Creek climbed out of her banks.
Traces of the flood are still visible
along the sides of the canyon for
about five miles.
Night before last a series of cloud
bursts occurred in Iowa Canyon,
about three miles from Platora sta
ton, and such an immense volume of
water rushed down the incline and
into Willow Greek Canyon that the
hay ranch of Albert Remusat, one of
the prominent stockmen of this coun-
ty, was laid waste. the hay and build
ings washed away and tons of rock
and silt deposited for a depth of two
feet. No one was injured, as fas as
can be ascertained.
Word was received by telephone
from Mrs. Tom Minor yesterday morn
ing that their beautiful ranch at the
mouth of the canyon, about two miles
from the Remusat place, was practi-
cally wiped out, so far as hay, small
fruits and crops were concerned All
of the outbuildings except the barn
were washed away. The water was
several feet deep in front of the house,
which is situated on an eminence.
Willow Greek, which is usually a
peaceful, inOffensive stream, is run
ming bank full, which means a depth
of from nine to ten feet There were
no casualties at the Minor ranch, but
the family had been up all night try
ing to save the stock. As the lady sc
foreibly put it: Pigs is pigs. ant
with the high cost of bacon, hams
ETC.. we could not afford to lose a
single squeal."
The water at Scott's station at Pla-
tora was running three feet deep and
the damage has not been estimated.
With the cloudburst at the Pearce
ranch, on the Kennedy road, and
others at the Dave Cordano ranch al
Rose Greek Canyon, Mud Springs
Unionville, Rochester Canyon. Jungo
and probably many more. it looks "a
though the country would go tenn
porarily wet.
ClOudbursts Near Elk0
Just as we &c to press a river o
water is coming into Idaho stree
from Court street and the streets ar

says the Elko Independent of yes
terday. A cloudburst has hit us some
where, but how serious the damag'
done thus far. if any, is not ye
known People coming in from vari'
Gus valleys reported today that a
cloudburst had struck at eight-mile
spring, on the Tuscarora road, but
whether this is our friend who is now
filling the streets with the flood is not
yet known.
The only casualty thus far reported
is Joe Harris, who was stuck in the
middle of Fifth street about o'clock
on an island about the size of an
ash-can. Joe was all dressed up and
no place to go, but he finally took the
bull by the horns or the water by the
spout, anyway you care to put it, and
swan out.

 Speaking of conditions in the east MT. Christy said:
 Industrial activity is unprecedent- ed, and labor scarce. The restric- tions imposed by the food administra- tion is borne good naturedly and with very little grumbling as people in the east and in the middle states seem to realize that the war situation is to say, the least very serious, and no sacrifice is considered too great, in order to win.
 Tn Washington is shown the great est activity and the President has called in to aid, the brainiest men in the land, all of whom have respond. ed without regard to political or per sonal interest.
 Everyone is keyed up to the high est sense of responsibility and eff ciency and it is a good time to sit still, and not rock the boat-leavine out as much as possible all adverse criticism.
