OIL BOOM AT SULPHUR
ATTRACTS DEMO RESIDENT

Amos Converse, who was in yester-
day for load of lumber for DEMO,
was in hurry to get back so he
could go to the Sulphur section and
locate some oil land. Mr.. Converse
studied oil formations in Wyoming
many years ago. before oil in paying
quantities was struch there, and be-
ing familiar with the country around
Sulphur, he believes he can go right
to the oil ground. While here yes
terday he learned of an old farmer
striking oil and becoming a million
aire who still owes his seventy-two
dollars for threshing. Mr.. Converse
figures that the farmer can pay the
bill now and has sent him one.

8. F. .NEWSPAPERMAN CAUGHT
SPIES HERE DURING THE WAR

G. A. Byers, reporter for the San
Francisco Examiner. who has been
spending his vacation on his ranch
near Amos, came to Winnemucca yes
terday and left last night to resume
his position. His wife, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. j. C. Charters of Red
house, will remain on the ranch until
after harvest.
Byers was in Winnemucca a little
more than year ago in a different
capacity. AS one of Uncle Sans SOL
diers, attached to the intelligence de-
partment, he came here in search of
enemy spies, man and woman, who
had been checking up on troop move
ments through Winnemucca. this be-
ing an ideal location for such work as
both transcontinental railroads pass
through here. Warned in advance, the
couple fed to Idaho just before the
men arrived here, but were caught
soon after by Byers and his co-work-
ers. He mentioned, while visiting The
Silver State Office yesterday, what
great possibilities were in the incident
for a newspaperman to make story
of, but of course at that time such
matters were not given publicity.

COUNCIL IN FAVOR
Of FIRE RESERVOIR

At special meeting of the city
council held last night all phases of
the proposal to increase the water
supply for fire purposes were dis
cussed, in line with recommendations
of engineers for the Nevada Public
Service Commission and Board of Fire
Underwriters.
Members of the council were in
favor of the proposals to erect an
auxiliary reservoir to be kept filled
with water for use in case of fire and
to lay new mains where necessary, in
order that an immediate high water
pressure may be available in case of
fire, but were cautious in their method
of handling the matter because of the
heavy additional expense to the city.
Finally 1t was decided to telegraph
to the Public Service Commission.
stating the council is willing to in
crease the hydrant rental, If neces-
sary. TO insure adequate return to the
water company for the increased in
vestment The proposal was to be
qualified by saying that not more than
forty-five fire hydrants are to be main
tanned, nor rental Of more than $3.50
per month to be paid by the city for
each hydrant. The telegram was also
TO convey to the commission that the
council is not of oninion the hydrauf
rental should be paid until the neces-
sary work is completed. nor is the
amount of rental to be definitely
established until the council has had
opportunity to enter objection.
The telegram was sent Immediately
after adjournment, but no reply had
been received at o'clock this after
noon.

Of THOSE
LETTERS FROM c. D.

INLAY, Nevada.--A man who had
sojourned in Winnemucca for a month
without seeing so much as dog fight.
In the way of excitement, declared
himself as considerably disguised,
when leaving town last Tuesday. at
the sight of circus crew billing the
town for the greatest show on earth.
Il must be out of luck" he sa;G.
Same man stopped over haze a. I'm
lay. Said he had wondered all month,
at Winnemucca, where all the dust
came from. He knows row 1t comes
from INLAY. Every time a railroad
man, or his wife or dog, starts across
the desert from the station to "the
store" he, she or it raises a cloud Of
smothering sand which floats away to
Humboldt county in the shape OF
dust storm and gives rise to a story
that Mt. Lassen is on the rampage
again. Locomotives here have no use
for the "sandbox."
Inlay is a sort of nice little railroad
camp, as far of the earth as it could
possibly be located, and little far
ther now that it has joined Pershing
county. 1t consists Of twenty-one
families living in railroad shacks, and
a whole lot of what might be described
as unattached persons, whose occupa-
ton seems to be "greasing the wheel"
throwing switches. working oil valves,
climbing on boxcars and waving arms
and lanterns.
Trains don't go through here as
they do at ordinary towns. They stop,
and uncouple, and back up, and go
ahead. and cross over from one track
to another, and change engines, and
get new crews, and wait for orders.
Every conceivable sort Of perform
ance, it would seem, is INDUCED in,
except the one logical one Of getting
up and leaving town. The train finally
does that important thing, of course,
but not until the gallery has become
disgusted with the slap-stick stuff.
Then the hogheads and shacks and
other strangely-named bipeds who say
they are tired go over and roll on the
grass in the little depot parks. and
get up game on concaine, or pan
ginni, or horse, or nails, or perhaps
even roll the bones for whatever they
happen to have left, and tell about
what bum railroader the other fell
low is. It's gay life.
