Inodate the bride. a teacher at the
Cane Springs school, was heralded

secret" Miss Madge c. Brooks is
the bashful bride and Walter b. Den

parently never stopped to think that
court records are public property.
And SO the wedding was solemnized
Saturday evening at the Methodist
church by Rev. ]. III. Westervelt. And
then the tongues began to wag! How
ever, Mr.. and Mrs Denton realized
the innocent little mistake they had
made, and concluded that newspaper
publicity is not so bad. after all.
Miss Brooks came from Santa Rosa
Calf, last September to teach at
Amos. She is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. d. l.. Brooks of that place.
Mr. Denton is employed by the Del

NO FURTHER EXEMPTIONS IN
ASSESSMENT WORK POSSIBLE

A report has been circulated, either
ignorantly or designedly, says the
Tonopah Bonanza, to the effect that
no assessment work is likely to be
required on unpatented mining claims
this year. and in any event the mat
ter may not be decided until Decem-
ber. For the information of those
interested it is well to state that the
matter is already decided. Congress
decided it before it adjourned. and
decided that no further exceptions
would be authorized by law. There
fore there is no body who has any
authority to grant exemption even if
he desired to do so.

NEW CARRIER SOON

Rebel Greek and Orovada will be the
next advance step taken by the latter
thriving little community. l. J. Stu
debaker. postmaster at Orovada, re-
ports that he received authority last
Saturday to appoint carrier for the
winter months. Studebaker also says
that Arthur J. Hoffman, originally
from Minnesota. but who has served
the past eight years in the United
States navy. has filed on 800 acres in
the Orovada territory, and also pur-
chased an interest in the Orovada
Mercantile Company. He will locate
at once In the northern community.
Hoffman, the newcomer, demon
strates what fine training a citizen of
the United States may acquire in her
navy. if he cares to set himself about
the task. Going in without any regu-
lar business training. he energies
as thoroughly up to date as student
from modern business college. He
is delighted with the prospects of the
Quinn River Valley country and says
the pioneering will just suit him. The
additional capital which he puts into
the mercantile establishment will be
employed in enlarging the stock car
ried by the concern.
The Orovada men, like other ranch
ers. report that the recent rains have
fixed everything all right for 1921
crops. Couldn't be BETTER is the
way they describe the situation.

| mediately there was roar from the
tired and worn delegates which lasted
for a full four minutes before Chair
man Robinson could put the question
on Amiden's motion to suspend the
rules and nominate Cox by acclama-
ton.
The motion was formally voted over
with rolling chorus Of ayes and the
crashing of the brass bands. State
standards which had surged back and
forth in the desperate battles of the
deadlock raced to the front of the hall
and to a place before the platform.
Roosevelt for Vice President.
Without delay the convention nam
ed Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New
York, for vice president, over Cover
nor Samuel v. Stuart of Montana, Ma
jor L. D. Tyson of Tennessee, E. L..
Doheny of California and several 9th
ers.
The convention was in session eight
days and will 60 down in history as
one of the greatest struggles ever
known in national politics. For forty
three ballots the three leading candi-
dates, Cox, McAdoo and Palmer held
their own, with no changes decisive
enough to bring about stampede to
either of them. The withdrawal OF
Palmer was the deciding factor in the
battle.
The platform as finally adopted rep
resented the majority action of the
committee on resolutions but it did not
come without bitter struggle which
was carried from the subcommittee to
the whole committee and finally to the
floor of the convention. Bryan and
Bourke Cochrane both presented
minority reports regarding the liquor
question, Bryan for strict enforce
ment of the present law, and the New
Yorker for a more liberal interpreter
ton of what shall constitute intoxicat-
ing liquor. The committees action in
ignoring the liquor question entirely,
as a settled issue, was finally adopted
by the convention. The League of Ma
lions, practically as advanced and ad-
vocated by President Wilson, was
heartily endorsed, but not until after
BRYAN had advocated certain reserva-
lions.
The debate over the platform lasted
for several hours before the conven-
ton following several days Of discus
sion in the committee.
