ELKO WESTERN UNION OFFICE
TO BE READY IN THREE MONTHS

Five men arrived at Elko yesterday
from San Francisco to start the work
of installing relay instruments for the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
according to a message received at
the local office Work of altering the
building recently leased there to con-
tain part of the transcontinental relay
equipment has been completed and it
is thought installation of wires and
instruments will require three months
longer.
That part of the maintenance force
to have charge of the Elko Office, it
is said, will include Manager Sommers
and w. ]. Dedman, now employed
here. Manager Sommers, accom-
panied by his wife, will go to Elko in
few days to look over the new work,
and to secure a residence there for
occupancy when the new Office is
ready. About half of the relay work
now done here will be transferred to
the Elko office.

HEAVY SNOW EAST AND WEST
BRING INQUIRIES ABOUT SHEEP

Snow stories seem to be the topic
of the day. One travelling man brings
word that snow covers Reno to a
depth of three feet and that there are
seven feet of snow at the Summit sta
ton. At Elko, railroaders say, there
is fourteen inches of snow covering
the ground. Inquiries from parties in
terested are being received relative to
possible suffering among the bands of
sheep of this vicinity, due to a sup
posed excessive snow fall and intense
cold. Thus does news travel, correct
or otherwise. 1t seems rather laugh
able here. with the six-inch snowfall
about gone because of warm day.

INDIAN SCHOOL AT M'DERMITT
in NEED OF CHRISTMAS TREE

A letter from the McDermitt Indian
School makes known a want which
should appeal to many charitably in
clined persons in Humboldt county.
The work done among Indians there
in teaching them the ways of civili-
zation is worthy, and the wards of the
republic are most appreciative. Let
the letter suggest to you:
Editor The Silver State:
l have been informed that you stated
to Mrs. Clar Reese. housekeeper at
the McDermitt Indian School, that
you desired to lend newspaper aid to
help in the Christmas celebration for
the Indian children here in the Piute
Indian school of Fort McDermitt. Mrs.
Reese had to go to the hospital for an
operation, and will not be able to
return before about March l. We
want a Christmas tree for the chill
dren. Anything you wish to send us
will be very thankfully, received.
KATE NJ. GOURLEY,
Matron, Fort McDermitt School,

HUMBOLDT RECEIVES
Sc BID FROM HALE

The supervisor of the census for
the First district of Nevada comes
forward with another appeal Tor emu
merators in Humboldt county. The
Silver State is not sure that it regards
the census as of such paramount i'm
portance as Mr.. Hale appears to. but
the fact that he has raised the scale"
to Sc day fat is of some interest.
Anyway, it's patriotic to give free ad-
vertisements to "the government" so
here's the enumerator's letter verha-
tim ad literatum:
THE Silver State, Winnemucca:
with the tine for taking the ceE-
sus but short month removed HuL-
boldt county stiE lacks five census
enumerators. Mrs. Georgia Ruthcf-
ford of your city has becI recon-
mended for appointment in the Win
nemucca district You must fully ap-
preciate the Importance of this census
and surely Humboldt county citizens
will appreciate ii sufficiently to give
their services, even though the time
for taking the oensus,fal in the most
difficult part of The year. TIE pay for
all districts in Humboldt county will
be Sc per day, ard the work will Ia
over a period of thirty days, making
the remuneration fairly profitable
May l not ask you as personal
favor to make note of this appeal to
Humboldt county citizens through
your valuable columns in your next
edition? l am attempting through this
method to fill the positions in Hum
boldt county without the expense OF
personal canvass for enumerators,
thereby saving that item of expense
to the department. l would most
thoroughly appreciate your courtesy
in this regard, and l am sure that the
census bureau will join me in that
assurance.
IF you see fit to do so, you are at
liberty to publish this letter. Please
make it clear through your article
Tshat application by letter should be
made to me forthwith at Elko, Ne
vada, whereupon full information will
be furnished the applicant concerning
districts, etc.
Thanking you in advance for your
assistance, l beg to remain,
Respectfully yours,

Supervisor of the Census. First Dis
trict of Nevada.

JURY FOR SULLIVAN PERJURY
TRIAL SECURED AT VIRGINIA

After three venires had been ex-
hausted in the attempt to secure a
jury for the trial of DR.. Sullivan, for
mer head of the State hospital for
mental diseases, the required number
was secured at Virginia City last
Tuesday afternoon, according to re-
port from the Comstock, after the
State had used all Of its peremptory
challenges.
The case was called for trial on
November 20. A recess was taken
last week owing to illness of the de-
fendants daughter, and was later
heightened owing to the illness of DR..
Sullivan himself He is charged with
the crime of perjury. The pros
ecution is the outcome of testimony
given by the doctor at the time the
will of the late Julia Strother was
offered for probate in Virginia City
last March At that time two broth
ers of DR.. Sullivan, who were the
chief beneficiaries under the will,
which was drawn by the doctor and
witnessed by his mother. renounced
all claims to any share in the Strother

SIXTEEN CLEAR DAYS
GOOD NOV. REPORT

Well, after all, according to the
monthly meteorological summary re-
ceived from Observer Fisher, cover
ing the month of November, 1919. last
month was, on the average, just one
and one-half degrees colder than the
normal as arrived at from records OF
Sthe past forty-one years. But prob
ably one and a half degrees on the
lower end of the thermometer tube
is hardly enough to entitle November
to the ignomy of being called a cold
month. The lowest temperature was
one degree below zero, on the 28th ;
the highest was 81, on the 4th. The
absolute minimum for November in
forty-one years has been nine de-
grees below; absolute maximum for
the same time, IA.
November weather was fine on the
average, and much like old John
Skedaddle, up in Paradise, said it
would be, heap plenty sunshine y
In the weather mans figures there
was total of 212 hours of sunshine,
or II per cent. There were sixteen
clear days, eight cloudy, and six
partly cloudy. On five days during
the month precipitation of one-hun-
dredth of an inch or more occurred
Speaking of precipitation. the total
for the month was 72-100 of an inch.
The normal is 74-100. Total precipi-
tation from September l to December
l this year has been 1.S0 inches, COM
pared with normal of 1.60, giving
an excess of 20 inch
Highest wind in November occurred

NEVADA GAME BIRDS
SUFFER FROM COLD

Although the continued fall of snow
is worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars to ranchers of Nevada, 1t is
not without its regrettable features,
said c. W. Grover, State fish and
game warden, in an interview pub
lished in the Carson City News. who
expressed the fear that in case cold
weather follows, quail and the blue
or mountain grouse will perish. Even
should the birds survive the storm
they are apt to come out cold and in
a weakened condition, says the war
den, only to find their customary sup
plies of food in the shape of seeds and
berries covered with snow or frozen.
1t is often the case that quail will
huddle up together in coveys to keep
warm, only to have the first soft
snowy cover to their retreat frozen
and crusted over and made living
tomb. The winter of 1916 was a hard
one on the quail and grouse, but the
two succeeding mild winters had con-
tributed to rapid increase of the game
birds. They had multiplied rapidly,
according to observers, and another
favorable season would have made
their rapidly increasing numbers very
apparent Shoul1 the weather turn
off warm. it may be possible that most
of the birds will survive. Mr. Grover
says.

FREIGHT TRAIN HITS ITSELF

A Western Pacific freight train ran
into itself at Deeth about 2:30 o'clock
Saturday morning. In setting out a
car with hot box the crew left the
car too close to the end of the siding
and "side-swiped' it in passing. The
car was considerably torn up. The
Elko Independent thinks this is the
first instance on record of a freight
train running into one of its own cars
but the railroad boys could tell a
different story without half trying.
