UNT|MELY CHINOOK
THREATENS SEASON

Just when ranchers and stock men
had made up their minds weather con-
ditions were ideal for a wonderful
irrigation season next year. chinook
wind came along yesterday and took
the Joy out of life by removing the
snow. But it was thought the breeze
was not sufficient warm to seriously
melt snow in the hills.
This morning 1t looked for time as
though the process Of melting snow
and drying range would be continued
by the wind, soft breeze coming
from the south. But almost in the
twinkling of an eye the wind changed
to a harsh north direction and snow
commenced to fall profusely. At 3
o'clock this afternoon the ground is
well covered.
The weather forecaster promises
rain or snow tonight and tomorrow
and perhaps he is right because the
stormograph in Krenkel & Bosch's
store indicates wet weather. This
stormograph is similar to a barometer
and Mr.. Bosch says that when the IN
dicating needle falls it is an unfailing
sign of stormy weather
Here's the weather mans report:
For the Twenty-four Hours Ended at
500 am. today:
Highest temperature yesterday, 40.
Lowest this morning, 35.
Mean temperature yesterday. 36.
Normal temperature yesterday. 80.
Precipitation, 0.15 inch, from snow.
Prevailing wind direction, SW.
Forecast-Rain or snow tonight and

GOT MOUNTAIN LION
WITH 22-CAL. RIFLE

Most hunters in pursuit of noun
tain lion would prefer to be armed
with high-powered rifle, says the
Gardnerville Record-C Courier. but the
fact that William Pitts of Coleville
was armed with nothing but a small
22-calibre rife did not stop him from
following mountain lion and killing
the animal, which measured eight feet.
Mr.. Pitts had several traps set for
coyotes, and in making his rounds
one day last week discovered that one
Of his traps had been dragged OF by
some animal other than coyote. He
carried % rife with which he had
killed trapped coyotes, and after fol-
lowing the track of the lion for some
distance into the mountains, discov-
cred the animal crouched upon the
limb of tree.
He made his way cautiously until
within good range, and fired; but the
lion did nothing more than shake his
head. Six shots were fired. until
finally the lion fell from his lofty po
sition to the ground below. 1t is
thought the lion was dazed by the
first shot, otherwise Mr.. Pitts might
have been called upon to enact a
little scene which would have thrilleC
some movie director had one been
present to "shoot" it,

INSPECTOR Of MINES
|. PREPARING REPORT

Fatal accidents in Nevada mines
numbered ten during the year ended
November 80, 1920, according to the
biennial report now being prepared
by Andy Stinson. state inspector Of
lines. Two of these men lost their
lives while engaged in top work, leav-
ing death toll of eight for under
,round workers. Nevada mine fatali-
les thus show marked decrease,
the totals for the past three years
being 10 for 1920. Is for 1919, and s6
for 1918.
During the year just ended only
four complaints were made to the
Inspector by employees of mining COM
panies because of lack of proper con-
ditions and requirements for safety
of workers. These complaints were
investigated and recommendations
were made to two companies. which
were in every respect complied with.
This is considered good showing,
when it is considered that 322 prop
critics have been operated in the state
during the period covered by the
years report, says the Carson City
News. At no time did it become nec-
essary to call out the rescue car
maintained in this part of the United
States by the bureau of mines.
Mr.. Stinson's report will strongly
recommend the enactment of legisla-
ton providing for licensing hoist en-
gineers under a high standard. His
experience has convinced him, he de-
clares, that the lives of miners should
not be endangered by employment OF
incompetent engineers to have charge
of hoisting works. He believes that
licenses should be granted only to
applicants who pass a good exami-
nation before a competent board of
examiners.
Stinson would have three grades of
licenses, one of which. for example,
would permit operation of pumps by
men not holders of first-class licenses.
Such classification as the inspector
will recommend would bring hoist en-
gineers into the class of skilled mech
anicians. Penalty requirements are
to be suggested which will insist upon
reaching both employer and employe
for violation of the law.
Expenses of Stinson's department
are said to have been kept within the
appropriation for the past two years,

SOON TO HAVE VIEW
Of PUBLIC BUILDING

Two of Winnemucca's new build
ings are nearing completion and will
be ready for occupancy the first OF
the coming year. These are the new
courthouse building and postoffice.
The courthouse is practically com.
pleted. requiring only a little moro
marble work and painting. The date
set for acceptance is next Wednesday,
December Is. 1t is probable date
will soon be set for public inspection.
The new postoffice building nears
completion. but non-arrival of mate-
rials is holding work up to some ex-
tent. The plasterers will be through
with their work on the building DUR
ing the coming week. All outside
work has been completed except
erection of fiafpole and laying Of
lawn, which will be accomplished
next spring. 1t Is estimated the
building will be ready for occupancy
the last of January or first Of the
month following. Contrary to gen.
eral idea concerning the postoffice
building, the contract price is $48,000.
More money was available for the
building. but plans were changed from
those for two-story federal building
to the one-story postoffice building
now standing.

HOUSE WARMING AS
IN GOOD OLD DAYS

Orovada was the scene of another
jolly get-together meeting Wednesday
evening, when residents of that dis
trict piled into E. N. Stidd big truck
and sojourhed to the new house on
the Mcmillan ranch, where they pro-
ceeied TO have a regular old-time
house warming.
Mf. Stidd happened upon the party
just as they were starting out with
Dobbin and the blackboard, and Of
fered them the services of his truck,
which they gladly accepted.
Although the new house was in
complete and the partitions not all
in, they found 1t fine for dancing all
the new steps. old-fashioned square
dances, etc., which enjoyment was
kept up until the wee small hours,
when they were served with break
fast by the hostess. After saying
sleepy good-byes and expressing their
desire for another good time soon
they drove away, all agreeing that
they had had one wonderful night.

INCREASED RAILROAD RATES
WILL RESULT In TRUCK LINES

A petition has been fled by the Ne
vada Shippers Transportation Com
pany of Reno. with the Nevada Pub
ic Service Commission, asking for a
certificate of public convenience. The
company proposes to establish an
auto truck freight line out of Reno
20 various points in the state. The
company said in its application:
I'VE wish here to state that this
application is conditioned upon the
confirmation Of the proposed rate in
crease at the hands of the Federal
commission. and need not be consid-
cred under other conditions"
Accompanying the petition was a
table in cents of existing railroad
rates to be used by the company as a
BASIS for its charges.

YELLOW PINE NINE
QUITS FOR SEASON

The yellow Pine mine was closed
down last Saturday for an indefinite
period, according to persons arriving
here from Goodsprings this week, says
the Clark County Review For years
the Yellow Pine has been a great
producer OF zinc-lead ores--probably
the largest in the state-and it was
the big mine, in all classes, in Clark
county. Its closing will deplete the
population of Goodsprings to great
extent. although there are a number
of men who have continued work on
their properties there for years, re-
gardless of any conditions. Last
weeks Goodsprings Gazette contained
the following statement:
"A portion of the force at the Yell
low Pine mine has been laid off and,
according to rumor, the operation of
both mine and mill will be discon-
tinued December 1. Only men enough
will be retained to look after the
property of the company.
I'VE have not yet received con-
firmation of this report from head
quarters of the company in Los An
geles, but indications are that the
property will remain idle for several
months, or until prices of the metals
have advanced to point which will
warrant the company in marketing its
ores"

Fifty thousand dollars worth of
state highway bonds, bearing interest
at the rate of six per cent, have been
sold. The purchasers were the Wa

ment, the understanding being that
the bonds will be redeemed in the
near future, when funds will be avail
able. At the present time, according
to the Carson City News. it is neces-
sary for the state to make large prog
ress payments, for which reimburse
ment for their shares will soon be

tween the two teams. At the end of
the first half the score was 81 to 10

was changed in the second half. Rose
going in at center and Harms back to
forward.
Battle Mountain, encouraged by the
loyal rooters of the town. who turned
out in force, kept up hope and they
made Winnemucca struggle to keep
their early lead. The game was a
very good one to watch and the usual
friendly feeling between the teams
was in evidence throughout.

The heavy rain and snow storm of
early morning hours caused trouble
In arrangements for the Humboldt
County Farm Bureau meeting TODAY.
c. w. Creel Of the University of Ne
vada, state leader Of county agricul-
tural agents. and Margaret NJ. John.
son, state leader of home demonstra-
tion agents, were in town, ready to
chaperone the Farm Bureauites: but
when they went to the announced
meeting place at 10 o'clock this morn
ing only two or three delegates ap-
peared. 1t was first thought the meet
ing would have to be abandoned alto
gether. Soon. however, telephones
began to work, and messages were re-
ceived telling that delegates were on
their way and would arrive as soon
as weather and roads permitted
Accordingly postponement of the
time was made to 80 o'clock this
afternoon. How many delegates NAV
reach here is not known at the hour
this report is written. The business
TO come before this meeting was to be
election OF officers for next year and
approval OF budget which Mr.. Creel
has prepared. Plans for Farm Bureau
activities also were to be discussed.
1t Is thought county agent will be
on duty in Humboldt about March /
next
Farm Bureaus have legal authority,
under Nevada statutes, to empower
county boards of commissioners to
levy one per cent tax for their sup
port In case this action were taken
in Humboldt. about $1,000 would be
realized from that source to support
a county agent and to aid in activi-
ties Of the Farm Bureau. This sum
would be augmented by like amount
from the state, and an equal contri-
button from the Federal government
For women's activities, Miss John
son was to propose a home demon
stration agent to divide her time be-
tween Lyon. Churchill and Humboldt
counties. And she suggested strongly
that this proposed demonstration
agent devote her time to work in con-
nection with some woman's organiza-
tion. She says this plan is being fol-
lowed at different places.
Usually, said Mr.. Creel. the projects
adopted at the county meeting are
determined by those previously adopt
ed by different communities in the
county. AS the communities in this
county did not, previous to this meet
ing. act In the matter. the projects
adopted today vii, be sufficiently gen
eral to cover those taken up later in
the communities
In developing programs the state
leaders or county agents meet with
the people and discuss community
needs. Usually a number of promi
nent interests or problems are placed
on a blackboard and the local bureau
chooses two or three which are felt
to be most important
A leader or committee is chosen TO
take charge of each project and goal
is set of just how much they are ex-
pected to accomplish.
Women of Elko. said Miss Johnson
decided to organize a Homemakers'
Club for carrying on the women's
work of the Farm Bureau. and they
will establish ch.ldren's department
in the Elko library which the Twenti-
eth Century Club OF that city is to
establish.
Later-The meeting was adjourned
again until 4:30 O'Clock
