SAW MILL AT LOYALTON
is DESTROYED BY BIG FIRE

The saw mill of the Clover Valley
Lumber Company at Loyalton was
completely destroyed by fire which
started at 6:45 pm. Thursday. The
loss Is estimated at $4,000 and is
partly covered by insurance. according
to the Reno Gazette.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
according to w. H. Virgin. one of the
owners, who returned to Reno from
Loyalton yesterday. Two watchmen
were within seventy-five feet of the
mill at the time the fire started and
men we're unloading logs in the rear
of the plant.
No wind was blowing at the time the
fire started and the mill crew and
others fought the fire and prevented
it from spreading to the lumber yard
where 5000, 900 worth of lumber is
piled. The mill was cutting 10000
feet Of lumber daily.
Logging operations will continue al

CIRCUS MAINTAINS
MORAL STANDARD
(By the Press Agent)

The elevated standard of morality
OF circus men and women is a revela-
ton to one who is with them day to
day. and is their close companion.
The atmosphere and environment
seems charged with health and hap
piness vigor and virtue. Drunkenness
Is never permitted in any form. Inn
mediate discharge, no matter who the
offender may be. is the penalty. and
except in the ranks of the working
men. few, If any, are ever found
guilty. The very nature of the circus
business forbids immoral or vicious
excuses. The hours are long and the
work is hard, therefore the vigor of
the brain and body must not be
dissipated.
The women of the circus are not
permitted to engage in conversation
with any one not directly connected
with the show. Most of them attend
church each Sunday and it is not an
infrequent occurrence for a minister
of the gospel to be invited to lead
divine services on a Sabbath after
noon. 1t has always been the aim of
the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus. which
comes to Winnemucca, September g.
for n performance, to inculcate a
spirit of good fellowship and endur-
ing affection, founded upon common
respect and esteem.
1t demands that everyone connected
with the show be polite and civil, as
sist patrons in trouble. maintain a
spirit Of harmony. in fact, make the
visit of the people a pleasing that
they may wish to return on another
day to the circus. Gambling is
strictly prohibited, and a fine awaits
the one caught using profane
language.
The Hagenbeck-Wallace circus is a
little city in itself. There are almost
a thousand people connected with the
great organization. In any city of
one thousand souls it is not hard to
find a few bad persons. 1t is these
that the management endeavor to dis
cover and eliminate as soon as pos
sible. A permium is placed on the
polite and hard working employees.

LAW ALLOWS
VINE MANUFACTURE

Owing to the fact that large guam
titles of grapes are being shipped into
Sparks, for the purpose of manu-
featuring wine, principally by MEM
bers Of the Italian colony. the fol-
lowing answer to a request by Mayor
C. N. Cheney Of that city for a ruling
on the subject is interesting. The
opinion. written by District Attorney
Summerfeld of Washoe county, is
based only on the state prohibition
law. The federal wartime prohibi-
ton act forb DIS the manufacture of
wine. The letter:
Hon. c. N. Cheney, Sparks, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-I acknowledge with
thanks receipt of your letter of
August 18th, with reference to the
importation of grapes into the city
Of Sparks for the purpose of manu-
featuring wine.
In this connection I beg leave to
advise that the prohibition statute of
the State of Nevada does not prohibit
such manufacture from grapes,
whether the grapes are grown in this
state or not, and without regard to
the alcoholic content of the wine.
The impression has been quite gener-
al that 1t was illegal to import grapes
for this purpose, although it is not
prohibited by the act itself, and in
fact, Is expressly permitted under
section four thereof. The only refer
ence made In the act to fruit grown
within this state relates to the manu-
facture Of vinegar or non-intoxicat-
ing cider. for use or sale. This, how
ever. has no reference to the provision
permitting the manufacture of wine.
Please be be advised, however, that
the matters ~hereinabove referred to
relate only to the prohibition law of
this state; and in this connection,
the federal law must also be exam
ined and borne in mind by people SO
manufacturing wine.
Sincerely yours,
L. d. SUMMERFTELD.

Benny Kauff, during a recent trip

their failure to reap a fortune,
withdrew their support and the
players, most Of them left without
funds, went back to the Jobs they
had left. Benny hit the trail to the
coal mines, whence he had sprung
to baseball, Chambers, however,
refused to give up hope and finally
induced the most prosperous Of the
clubs erstwhile supporters to again
consider the proposition. This the
promoter consented to do on condi-
ton that Chambers could round up
the widely scattered players and
would accept the management OF
the club.
Most of the boys wanted some
sort of a financial guarantee before
they would return" says Chambers.

he asked was, May I pitch if go

pretty good pitcher, SO Benny
Kauff came back to baseball and
