M. c. Grinde Tells Why Mont
gomery Machine Company
Has Been Successful.

Nj. g. Grinde Of Montgomery Machine
company. 3O1 Second street south, who
handle Avery machinery, Lacrosse ma
chinery, XIV Magnetic service and Holt
Caterpillar service, says the explanation
of the success of this concern which has
distributed three quarters of a million
dollars worth of tractors and tractor
drawn implements in this section of
Montana during the past three seasons,
was service to the consumer
A glimpse at their conveniently ar
range stocks of repairs for the differ
ent kinds of machinery they handle,
shows that this concern attaches very
great Importance to the necessity Of
giving the farmer the proper service on
repairs when he needs them.
Ben creasey in Charge.
Also, they have one of the most com
plete machine shops in the city, In
charge of Ben Creasey. Mr.: Creasey
was the pioneer service man of the Av-
cry company when they first introduced
their gas tractor in Montana and prior
to his connection with the Avery tractor
for many years was in charge OF one OF
the largest machine shops in Montana.
In the Montgomery Machine company
shop is full equipment for all Kinds OF
lathe work, truing crankshafts. rcbab-
biting bearings of all kinds, and all in
and repairing of magnetos.
Mr.. Grindle has implicit belief IN the
future Of Montana and while he states
that the setback of the past three years
has discouraged the incoming Of num-
Der of prosperous farmers from his old
state of South Dakota, yet as soon as
conditions in this state recuperatc and
prices stabilize, he looks for a future
prosperity in Montana unexcelled by
any other western state, and Great
Falls, he declares, will be the greatest
distributing point for farm implements
and machinery west of Minneapolis.
Caterpillar Repairs.
An interesting part of the repair
stocks carried by Montgomery Machine
company are the repairs for the Holt
Manufacturing companys caterpillar
tractors and combined harvesters. Here
we find all wearing parts on these ma
chimes carried in order to keep the farm
caterpillar tractor moving in Montana
to their larger brother, the artillery tank,
in the great war, and the parts used on
the farm tractors are identical with
those of the tanks. 1t is interesting in
this connection to note that the United
States government has allotted to Mon
tana for highway construction, eleven
carloads Of caterpillar tractors furnish
ed them for war work. /
Montgomery Machine company devote
their entire attention to the sale of
tractors and tractor drawn implements
and always carry in stock complete
line of these machines so as to be able
to Immediately supply a customer who
is in need Of such implements.

operation and easy starting. however
the latter feature is assisted consider
ably by the spring drawbar action Of the
springs supporting the fore end Of the
semi trailer. This spring drawbar ac-
tion renders precisely the same assist
ance in starting the load as the spring
used in the dra9bar between every car
in train and without which it would be
impossible to start train of any size.
springs above referred to be not con-
fused with the more flexible springs
supporting the rear end of the tractor
chassis
Not only will the trailer tractor carry
four tons, but it is guaranteed to carry
five tons under ordinary conditions.
Overlooking. however. should be prac-
ticed with discretion when operating on
stiff grades.
Another very important feature is the
ease with which the trailer tractor may
be backed The truth of the matter is
that it may be backed as easily as an
automobile or truck, and in many cases
much more adyantageously. Further
more the trailer tractor will make COM
plete circles in streets SO narrow as to
necessitate the backing up and going
ahead of motor truck many times. In
this same connection it should be borne
In mind that Il great saving Of space in
narrow streets is made possible by
standing the tractor proper parallel with
the street while the trailer at the same
time stands straight angle to the curb
These points are obviously very impor-
tant in congested districts, and tend to
materially relieve the delay in getting in
and out.
Owing to the distressing condition of
the transportation situation due to the
railroads inability TO handle the tre-
mendous quantities of war as well as
commercial materials, the trailer tractor

In inserting the tubes in giant pneu-

is particularly necessary to see that the

it has been smoothed down firmly it

RADICALS 0UTvOTED
BY MINE STRIKERS

The radical element among the
strikers was out-voted at a meeting
in the ball park at Tonopah, called
at four o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
according to a special dispatch to
the Reno Gazette, and Governor
Boyle's suggestion that a new COM
mittee be appointed by the men to
confer with the operators was
adopted. The governor told the men
that he would not tolerate any more
l. w. W. tactits, that the mine oper-
ators were tired of talking to a lot of
boneheads and unless change was
made there would be no chance to
bring the industrial troubles to
head.
Acting on the governors suggestion
the conservative element among the
miners, to the surprise of everyone
outvoted the radical element on the
question of appointing new commit
tees, and the chairman of the meeting
announced that he would appoint
married men only on the conference
committee.
Following this action, the leader o.
the Serbian element there, who was
one of the most ardent advocates OF q
strike. said that his countryiaen
would attend meeting at two O'clock
yesterday afternoon and vote TO call
off the strike Internationally.
The radical and /. w. w elem IN.
at the meeting stood together to some
extent and argued against appointing
new committee, saying that ii wai
forerunner of secret ballot tha
the operators would try to secure ane
thus end the strike.
One miner, who said he had WORKED
in the mines there for seven years
moved that the committee be changed
to conform with the suggestion of the
governor, and his motion was seconded
by another miner who has been il
Tonopah for ten years
He declared that the miners of the
district had allowed themselves to be
led around by the nose by persons
who did not have dollar invested
in the district
+ The action of the miners is believed
to pressage an offer from the opera
tors to take the men back at the for
store where goods will be sold to the
men at cost plus five per cent, with
the companies assuming all overhead

LOCAL CHAIRMAN IS
NAMED FOR DRIVE

A state convention at which Elks
from all parts of Nevada will be pres
ent will be held in Reno on Septem-
ber 16 to make preparations for car
rying on the drive for the Salvation
Army for $4,000.
f. c. Krenkel of this city has been
placed in charge of the drive in Hum
boldt county, but may not be able to
go to Reno to participate in the con-
vention. The Reno Elks are making
extensive preparations to entertain
the visitors. One of the entertain
ment features will be the showing of
Fires of Faith" picture based on
Salvation Army work, which will be
shown at the Rialto theatre.
Elks lodges in every state in the
Union have taken charge of the home
service campaign for the Salvation
Army and it has been a success every
where. Late this spring the Elks of
California secured more than $S00,000
for the fund, and Nevada Elks expect
to secure the Nevada quota in short
time.
The convention next Tuesday is
preliminary to the state drive, which
will be held for a week, starting Sep
tember 20. At the convention the
state chairman will be appointed and
the plan of campaign mapped out.
Each county and community in the
state will have from one to five men
present at the convention and it is
predicted that 1t will be one of the
largest gatherings of Elks for some
time.
r. Z. Leeper. district deputy grand
president of the Elks for Nevada, is
directing the preliminary work in the
drive and will probably be made per-
manent chairman. Besides Chairman
Krenkel for Humboldt county, other
county chairmen have been appointed
as follows: DR.. G. G.. Steinmiller,
Washoe; E. l.. Bingham is chairman
at Fallon, Ben Cardinal at Minden,
V. c. Twigg at Lovelock, A. j. Powers
at Rochester, N. H. Van Alstein at

CALIFORNIA FAILED
IN HIGHWAY MATTER

During the closing days of the last
legislature bill was passed author.
izing the sale of highway bonds in
Humboldt, Elko and Washoe counties,
each of the counties to be bonded for
$150,000 to be expended on the great
transcontinental road from one end
of the state to the other, following
the railroads through these counties.
The Humboldt county bonds have
not been sold, because of county di-
vision. Elko and Washoe counties
sold their bonds, but when the bond
houses got through investigating the
legality of the bonds, they were re-
fused on the ground that when the
bill creating Pershing county from
Humboldt county was passed seo-
tion was added providing that the
state of California must make pro-
visions for her share of the highway
fund and that the money must be
ready before the Nevada counties
could legally sell their bonds. 1t was
agreed by the California people that
they would set aside an equal sum
as raised by the three counties, the
whole amount to be spent on the
roads of Nevada. Up to the present
time no money has been Forthcoming g
from California.
sThe Elko Free Press says that at
a meeting of the board of county
commissioners held at Elko last week
it was decided to abandon the sale of
the $150,000 highway bonds that were
to be issued by Elko county under
the provisions of this bill

ARRESTED TODAYON
BOOTLEG CHARGES

Suspected of bootlegging, Tony
Samanda was arrested at Paradise
Valley early this morning. Sheriff
Springer, District Attorney Powell
and Deputy Sheriff Peter Haines were
the arresting officers. They left Win
nemucca at o'clock this morning for
the purpose of making the arrest.
Arriving at Paradise Valley the off,
GERS started searching Samanda's
lodging house. In a woodshed they
found 200 bottle of wine, twelve bot
ties of whiskey. twelve bottles of rock
and rye and eighteen bottles of ver-
mouth. AS was the case in other ar
rests made by the officers for alleged
violations of the prohibition act, much
difficulty was experienced in securing
the wet goods. This time it was neces-
sary to move large pile of cordwood.
At 10 o'clock Samanda was taken
before Justice of the Peace John S.
Case at Paradise Valley, who desig-
mated next Saturday morning at 10
o'clock as the time his preliminary
hearing will take place. also at Para
disc. In the meantime Samanda is at
liberty under cash bail of $3.50, depos-
tied by himself
In July. 1918, Samanda's liquor Ii
cense revoked by the county
commissioners. The officers say they
also suspect Samanda was working
with three alleged bootleggers, AL
corta,. Aranguena and Spain, arrested
June 27 at Sulphur with two automo-
biles loaded with whiskey alleged to
have been brought from California,
who are now out on bail awaiting ac-
ton of federal grand jury.

TWO GIRLS ARE WALKING
ACROSS THE CONTINENT

After spending eighteen months in
federal service overseas as nurses in
Uncle Sans service, two demure
misses arrived in Ogden recently,
en- route to San Francisco, where
they will complete hike of more
than 5000 miles overland. The girls,
Miss Laura Smith of Oakland and
Miss Grace Cook of Redlands, Califor-
mia. have had wonderful experience
since being mustered out of federal
service, and upon leaving Ogden,
they expected to complete the last
leg of their journey in fast time.
Both girls have hiked from New
York and while they secured a lift
from time to time in the nature of an
automobile ride, they have covered
more than 1900 miles afoot.
The girls have been chums since
childhood and during the struggle for
democracy, were in the thick of the
fight At one time the two young
women were in one of Uncle Sans
hospitals, which the German airmen
raided. In this particular raid
twelve nurses and fifty-fve wounded
soldiers were killed.
The young women have left Ogden
for Elko in an automobile, having
been offered that opportunity by two

ELECTRICIANS AND
THE SILVER STATE

Editor The Silver State:
On July 8, 1919. at a regular meet
ing of the Electrical Workers Union
of Reno. an article in The Silver
State, which is published at Winnie
mucca, was read, which related to
the telephone employees action dur
ing the time of the strike. 1t ex-
planned that the Bell Telephone Com
pany was merely an employer, fur
nishing public service. and is doing
no more to assist the progress OF
the State than that which is abso-
lutely necessary to get the money
and keep out competition; while the
employees who were on strike, seeking
better salaTy to live on, are our real
neighbors and should get all the pub
lie sympathy possible both financially
and morally to advance their cause.
G. N. Kratz, recording secretary of
the Electrical Workers Union, was
instructed to carry a vote of thanks
to The Silver State for its very i'm
pressive editorial. This is the first
time he has had occasion to get to
Winnemucca to perform his duties OF
installing electric clocks since. the
phone strike, otherwise this action of
the union might have been reported
sooner.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE N. KRATZ,
Recording secretary.

SOME IMPRESSIONS
Of HARMONY MINES

No. shaft is in ore all the way
from the surface. 1t had ten inches
at grass roots, which increased stead
lily, just as was expected. Below 100
feet the vein widens from four to
twelve feet.
That is about the most practical
thing to be said to the mining man
regarding the Nevada Harmony mine,
five miles east of Winnemucca. OF
course the practical man asks, What
kind of ore is it-and what about as
says? The answer is, it's silver-cop-
per, with gold; the assays run from
$40 to $50 the ton. Is there ore on
the dump? Yes, several thousand
tons of it, Have any shipments been
made? Yes. Why No shaft-are
there others? Yes, there are numer-
GUS shafts and open cuts at Nevada
Harmony. and $50 feet of tunnel-all
Of an exploratory character except
No. l. but all satisfactory. The work
of Manager G. b. Williams during the
past six months has mapped out a
property which seems surely destined
to be one of the big things in the way
Of mines
There is strange fact about what
is now named the Nevada Harmony
property. No mining man who has
looked 1t over in past years has ever
turned IL down" Evidences of good
ore always have been unmistakable
Why 1t has never been developed is
a query which citizens of Winnie
mucca may perhaps answer for them
selves. The answer is not a thou
sand miles away.
Now. as this property is to become
a mine beyond the possibility of
doubt-whether this year. or next. or
the year after-some description will
be OF more than passing interest.
The Nevada Harmony Mining Com
pany was incorporated under the
laws of Nevada last June. Its hold
ings were purchased from John l..
Hawley of Rockingham. North Caro-
lima. and Eastern associates. There
are twenty-one claims in the group,
and ore has been opened on eighteen
of them. The original claims were
known as the Red Rose group. They
were first acquired by the Nevada

joining Harmony on the east, was
