MISS ANDERSON'S PLEASURE
In WORK WITH LYCEUM TRIO

No doubt many people who heard
the violin performance of Miss An
derson at the Lyceum entertainment
given in the high school auditorium
last Thursday evening will be sur
prised to learn that the young woman
is but seventeen years old. Her play
ing was a revelation to the audience,
and was keenly enjoyed. Miss Ander-
son, according to Prof. Scott, is very
much enthused over the Lyceum en-
tertainment work and believes it does
much good in an education way as
well as in giving pleasure. Her faith
er, Oscar Anderson of jamestown, N.
Y, follows his daughters progress
closely, it is said. Miss Anderson left
a request that two copies of The Sill
yer State be sent to him.

BOYS DID LITTLE DAMAGE
TO PROPERTY LAST NIGHT

Outside of a few gates being missed
this morning and practically all of
the business-house windows being
generously daubted with soap, not
much has been reported today which
caused property owners serious. incon-
venience. Halloween came and went
last night in tame fashion.
There's one small ~six-year-old boy
in Winnemucca, though, that probably
has different ideas of wilful destruc-
ton. Investigation proved that he was
responsible for breaking of a heavy
plate door glass in the home of NJ.
Reinhart. When his daddy was in
formed he readily agreed to pay for
the damage, but what son got will
make him thing twice before he again
throws rocks.

ARANGUENA TO STAY
IN JAIL SHORT TIME

Contrary to opinion first expressed,
Larry Aranguena decided to plead
guilty to a charge of completely in
illegal transporting of intoxicating
liquors and accordingly such a plea
was entered before the federal court
at Carson City yesterday morning.
Judge Harrington pronounced SEN
tence of forty days imprisonment in
the Humboldt county Jail and a fine of
$3.50. Arranguena is now in Jail here
serving out the time sentence. He
will probably be released in about
thirty days, after allowance for good
behavior has been deducted.
Aranguena was indicted by the
federal grand jury with Domingo
Stain, Jesus Aranguena and Saturnino
Alcorta, all Basques residing in this
city. The three men last mentioned
entered pleas of guilty early this week
and were sentenced to forty days and
$3.50 fine each. They were arrested
near Sulphur with two automobile
loads of whisky.

ENGINEER BRO|u DECLARES WATER PLANT
Of W|NNEMUCCA WILL Be BEST IN STATE
CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS IN FOR TWO NEW ENGINES AND WORK
OF CONCRETING RESERVOIR TO BE COMMENCED sOON-FOURTH
wATER-sTORAGE PLACE FOR wINNEMUCCA LIGHT AND POWER

rebuilding the hydraulic power plant
in Water canyon. Concrete founda-
tons are already in to support two
new semi-Diessel oil engines, electric
generators, and other heavy machin-
cry. After these two engines are put
in commission the steam plant near
the Western Pacific station will be
abandoned by the company. Thus all
work of generating electricity will be
accomplished under one roof, effecting
a huge saving.
When work is completed at the
canyon power house many improve
ments in service will be noted. A new
and up-to-date switchboard, with all
recording instruments, is to be in
stalled, securing uniform voltage.
Carloads of new redwood-stave pipe
are arriving and work of laying new
mains will be commenced shortly
When complete a large portion of the
pipes now serving water in Winnie
mucca will have been replaced. In
many streets the replacement will be
merely to enlarge the mains that a
greater volume of water may be car
ried to fire ~hydrants. Several sections
of the city not heretofore piped will
be included in the present work
Twenty additional fire hydrants are to
be placed at most advantageous points
in all parts of the city, making a total
of fifty.
Among other things to be done will
be the placing of a 5000 gallon settling
tank, through which water pumped
from the two wells will pass, thus as.
surfing that sand and sediment will be
kept out of the water.
When all of the work is complete
said F. o. Broili, engineer of Reno, il
| charge of construction, Winnemuccs
will be possessed of the most up-to
date, complete and most efficien
water and electric plants in Nevada
providing ample assurance of a plenti
full supply of water in case of fire.
AS soon as the work mentioned j:
sufficiently near completion, driving
of the tunnel in upper Water canyon
will again be commenced, in hope tina
an additional gravity water suppl!
can be developed.

ROOSEVELT MONEY
MUST COME RONTO

l.. G. Campbell, chairman of the
Humboldt county Roosevelt Memorial
committee, this morning received the
following telegram from State Chair
man Samuel Plat:
please make extra effort today and
tomorrow to reach quota. Forward
me promptly names of all subscribers,
who will be presented with antional
membership certificates"
The Humboldt county committee
was apportioned $3.50 to raise for the
Roosevelt memorial. 1t was decided
that because of the rule again per-
sonal solicitation to trust to personal
interest of citizens to make whatever
contribution they could afford, instead
of resorting to the usual plan of send
ing out solicitors.
Some delay resulted in putting in
operation this reconsideration plan,
but letters have now been received by
all residents explaining the plan and
urging prompt action. To date the
responses have been slow.
Appointed to receive subscriptions
were J.. A. Langwith, Winnemucca;
Mrs. John S. Case, Paradise; F. r.
Sprague, McDermtit; C. X. Norris,
Rebel Creek; j. 1. Peterson, Golconda;
Calvin Broadway, Sulphur.

With Engineer F. o. Broili and Su-
perintendent f. III. Gilman of the
Winnemucca Water & Light Company
a reporter for The Silver State made
a trip, yesterday, to the new reservoir
being built to store water for fire pur-
poses in Water Canyon, south of Win
nemucca. More work is being accom-
plished upon the project than perhaps
many residents know of.
Team after team was passed or
the road, all hauling gravel and other
material for the concrete lining of the
new reservoir, ~excavating for which
has been completed. 1t is located a
quarter Of a mile above the present
hydraulic power plant and is at an
altitude a little more than 200 feet
above the level of the city. The hole
is larger in area than is required to
hold the necessary half million gal
Ions of water, being about a hundred
feet square and at least eight feet
deep.
Already a twelve-inch pipe has
been laid from the bottom of the new
tank to the point of connection with
the main water system. AS loon as
sufficient material has been hauled to
the site concrete laying will COM
mence. First a thin sheet of concrete
is to be poured over the surface, then
wire netting will be put in place over
the first layer of concrete and the
final heavy mixture will be put on top
of the netting, making what will be,
the superintendent said, an everlas;-
ing job.
The reservoir should be complete,
it is thought, before the end of this
month. When the water is turned in
and released by an electrical valve
connection, to be placed in the fire
station, a pressure will be available
at the fire hydrants of ninety pounds.
In answer to a question frequently
asked by Winnemuccans: How will
water in the fire reservoir, which is
not to be used except in case of fire,
be kept from stagnating and thus be-
coming a menac to health when
turned into the city MAINS" Super
intendent Gilman said a continuous
flow of water will run in and out of
the reservoir and a chemical process
recommended by the government will
be used, so that when the water is
turned into the mains it will be pure
and suitable for drinking purposes.
The new tank will be Supplied with
water as are the other two reservoirs
below-from the big million-gallon
reservoir located five miles further up
Water canyon, when there is sufi-
cient supply from natural sources,
and from the two wells from which
water is now being pumped, located
dry season.
The new reservoir will make four
now in use by the company, with a
total capacity of more than two mil
lion gallons, thought to be amply suf-
flcient for all purposes. The two
wells and pumps are added security.
A vast amount of other improve
ment work is also under way for the
company. Crews of men are at work

FAIL TO GET GOOD PRICES
FOR LAMBS, GROWERS SAY

News from the ranges surrounding
Austin is that all the fat cattle have
been sold and shipped away. There
are quite a number of feeders" re-
naming at the ranches, but no beef.
OF sheep, the contrary is the case.
From what can be learned there are
remaining in the hands of growers
between 1000 and 5000 lambs yet un-
sold, the cause assigned being that
the offerings of buyers have not been
satisfactory to local raisers.-[Reese
