EUREKA THEATRE NSTALLS
NEW PICTURE MACHINE

A new motion picture machine is
being installed at the Eureka The
atre, and will be in operation the
coming week. according to d. States,
manager of the theatre.
The new machine is equipped with
all the latest improvements, and will
be driven by electrical motor. This
will permit the machine to be run at
a Uniform speed, and will also tend
to eliminate the fiickering of thefilms
being shown. The motor is located
in the basement, and this will pre-
vent its jarring the building, which
in the past has been causing some
annoyance to the patrons.
The new equipment can handle
films of 1000 feet. while the old ma
chine could only operate with 1000
feet films. This difference will be
only of advantage when super-pro-
ductions are shown, as the regular
five-reel films consist of only 1000
feet. Carbon points will be used as
heretofore, as they give the best sat
isfaction.

very plausible candidate because OF
the fact that he Is not implicated In
any OF the party's factional compli-
cations In this State, and further be-
cause a candidate from the eastern
part of the State would be the most
logical one for Congressman, as the
States other National representatives
are usually chosen from the western

LIGHT SNOW STORM
COMES IN EUREKA

Following several weeks of fair
weather, snow began to fall in the
vicinity OF Eureka Thursday night,
and as the Sentinel" goes to press
there are about three inches of snow
on the ground and It is still showing
lightly from the north. The barom-
eter has registered low pressure for
the past two days, although the pres
sure at present is growing higher.
Friday night there was a strong
wind blowing, but 1t calmed down in
the morning, and unless a new wind
starts blowing the snow will not drift
very much.
The storm did not prevent the ar
nval of mining men on yesterdays s
Hain, for many arrived and are to-
day Inspecting the section as best
Iaey can Ia the snow storm. With
tne sun as far north as 1t now is, any
snow that comes will melt fast.
The snow will not seriously impede

SPANISH INFLUENZA IN
EUREKA NOT SERIOUS

There are Is or 16 cases of Span
ish influenza in Eureka, according to
DIR. w. H. Bremen, County Health
Oficer, and there might be some
cases that have not been reported to
him. None has been reported from
other sections OF tho county. DR.. Bren-
men said. excepting four or Ave in
fiuenza patients at the Morrison Hay
ranch.
THE most important thing for I'm
fiuenza patients to do is to call doc
tor Just as soon as they take sick, t"
said DIR. Bremen. Influenza in its
first stages is not itself so dangerous,
but the complications resulting from
1t may prove serious. People seem
to think that the epidemic is not so
severe this year as 1t was last year.
but they are mistaken. The differ
ence is that they are calling the doc
tor sooner than they did last year."
The height of the epidemic last
year came during December, and al
though 1t is later this year, DIR. Bren-
men thinks the lateness will not cause
a milder epidemic. Nor does he think
that closing of the schools, wearing
of masks, or declaring a quarantine
are an effective preventative.

r. A. Del~ny, Contractor. Announces
That Bnilding VIII Be Completed
In Seventy Days

Work was started last Thursday on
the new Eureka-Nevada Railway COM
bination passenger and freight depot
here. The new building is to be
constructed on the site of the old
freight depot, which is now being
torn down to give place to the new
one. =.
F. A. Delany, of Palisade, who
has the contract to build the depot,
arrived Wednesday night. He said
the building will be completed In re
days, and that the material will be
on the ground for use hy the time the
old depot is torn down.
The new depot will consist Of two
stories. the lower one for passsnssx
and freight accommodations. and the
upper story will be occupied as res
idence by the railway agent in charge
OF the station.
The construction of the new depot
will in no way interfere with thepres-
ent freight service of the railroad.
In that all the merchants of Eureka
have laid. in their supplies for the
next few months. the present time is
the most convenient time to replace
the old depot with a new one. Coal.
machinery. and other supplies for
the mines will be sent through to
Eureka as usual while the work is
being done.
The old depot was built in about
1874. and went through the famous
boom here in the old days. and the
erection of a new depot by the offic-
ials Of the railroad shows that they
are awake to the new prosperity now
afoot in Eureka.
