F|REMEN BUSY WITH
CELEBRATION PLANS
WANT COOPERATION OF PEOPLE
FOR BIG LABOR DAY EVENT, so
THAT ACCIDENT FUND MAY BE
INCREASED BY LARGE AMOUNT

Labor Day, September 9Th, is quite
awhile away, but the firemen are get
ting busy on the celebration they will
stage on that date.
Guy Asbury, of the firemen's ex-
ecutiye committee, said this morn
ing:
There is one thing that we want
of the merchants, and in fact every
one in town from this time on, and
that is the cooperation of all
I'VE have sent an invitation to
Elko for the people to come here and
be entertained and will send similar
invitations to all other communities
near enough to be practicable.
"Winnemucca has gone through the
year with very little relaxation from
the regular routine of business and
the firemen believe that if everyone
will get out on the day of their cele
bration and let dull care take care Of
itself for a day, that all, employers
as well as employees. will be better
of for the rest and change
I'VE would like to see every bust
ness house closed on that day so thai
all the employees can get out and en-
Joy themselves. Another thing that
will create good impression on the
outside visitors. is a little decoration
of places of business. Put on a holi-
day dress and let our visitors know
that we are enjoying life as well as
trying to make a livelihood from
business.
"Jf the merchants will do this and
then decorate a miniature float to go
into the doll parade the advertising
gained will be surprisingly great.
Lets all get together from now on
and help out. II you have a sugges
tion OF are willing to aid in any way
just speak to one of the firemen am
he will probably have something that
he can have you do"

ROAD VERY BAD BETWEEN
WINNEMUCCA AND L0yELOCK

According to report issued by the
Nevada Highway association. the road
between Lovelock and Winnemucca
on the Overland Trail is in extremely
poor condition. Tourists who are
making the trip east are being routed
over the detour between the two cities
by way of Jungo and Pronto on the
west side of the Humboldt river. This
eliminates the greater part OF the
poor stretch, the road having been
badly cut up by the extra heavy
traffic this summer.-IJournaf.

CROPS ALL OVER THE STATE
ARE REPORTED VERY GOOD

Nevada will produce bumper crops
of hay, alfalfa and potatoes this sea-
son, according to reports on present
conditions received by the weather
bureau at Reno from all sections of
the state, says the Gazette. All ex-
cept two counties report conditions
at present better than average. An
exceptionally large crop of hay has
been cut and the first crop of alfalfa
already cut is estimated at consider
ably more than for the same period
a year ago.

TAX ROLL FINISHED
FOR CURRENT YEAR
WORK COMPLETED YESTERDAY
AND SHOWS VALUATION OF
NINETEEN MILLIONS; TO BE
PRINTED FIRST OF NEXT WEEK

Owing to heavy losses sustained
by sheep and cattle men last winter
and the fact that a great many were
shipped out of the county to winter,
the tax roll for 1920 will be some-
what deprecated. County Assessor
Organ yesterday finished the compila-
tion of the roll and ii is now being
printed in the office of The Silver
State. 1t will be ready for distribu-
ton to the taxpayers the first part Of
next week.
The document will approximate the
budget issue of $19,000,OO0 for the
year. but there still remains a part
of the personal taxes to be collected,
principally from sheep owners of the
county.
On Monday, July &c, the county
will be in session as
board of equalization to hear any
and all complaints of taxpayers, and
on August 16 the state board of equal
ization will convene
The total rate for Winnemucca city
this year. which includes school and
city is 1921; sheep inspection tax is
thirty cents on 800 valuation. and
stock inspection tax, including horses,
mules, cattle, hogs and burros, is
twenty cents on 800 valuation. The

P|TTMAN WILL TALK
TO FALL0M OIL MEN
PITTMAN TO ADDRESS FALLON
OIL OPERATORS ON NEW LEAS-
ING BILL; OTHER EVENTS OF
THE WEEKS DEVELOPMENTS

FALLON, July 14.-Ever since the
oil leasing bill was signed by Presi-
dent Wilson it has been the subject
of much discussion among oil men,
Many parts seem to be contradictory
and confusing. The Fallon Oil Dis
trict Association has had the matter
up with the secretary of the interior
with very good results. Secretary
Paynes has ruled that prior rights to
lease will be recognized on all appli-
cations that come from original hold
ers of ground by location. He par
ticularly stated in his wire to the
Fallon association that later appli-
cants, no matter how wealthy, will
not be considered when the same
ground is applied for by men who To-
Gated it under old laws.
Invitations have been extended to
every locality in Nevada to send rep
resentatives to hear Senator Pitt
mans address on Saturday evening
During the afternoon he will be
driven over the field that he may see
what is being done.
The Silver State Consolidated has
cemented off its casing at 270 feet
At this point the bit entered very
soft clay formation. 1t is the theory
of Driller Clark that under this soft
clay there may be an oil sand that
will show considerable oil even If
not in commercial quantities. The
clay shows some oil under chloro-
form test and the theory is that it
came up from the strata below. By
shutting off the water, a thorough test
may be made. This is something that
other companies have neglected.
They have not shut off water and
fully explored each and every change
in formation
The Fallon Oil & Gas Company has
made but little headway in develope
ing it's well. II has been one delay,
either want of supplies or accident,
after another. 1t was thought that
when the five-inch casing was ce-
mented, work could progress. Now
there is leak in the casing some
where. Whether the water comes up
from below or defects in the casing
let it in, has to be determined later.
The pump is working day and night
without making much headway in
lowering the water. 1t is now con-
ceded that it might have been better
and cheaper to have moved over a lit
tie and drilled new hole.
w. II. Miller, whose name is well
known to Nevada mining men and
who has had considerable experience
in oil drilling in California and other
states. has Incorporated the Yellow
Tiger Oil Company and secured hold
ings in this field. A No. Keystone
rig arrived Tuesday and will be taken
to the field at once. Drilling will be-
gin on land purchased from the Fall
Ion Oil & Gas Company The new
well will be located between the Fal-
Ion well and that of the Silver State
Consolidated. Miller has associated
with him w. W. Brown, of New York
City. Brown has had extensive ex-
perience in oil drilling in Texas and
other states He came into the field
with Miller some three weeks ago

Vanilla In West Indies.

Harvesting of the vanilla crop has
begun. In all probability this crop
will not be so large as that predicted
in former reports, since a great many
beans have fallen from the vines. 1t
Is thought that a small insect which
has been discovered on the plants may
have undermined their strength. and
active steps are being taken to com
bat the ravages of the pest. Vice
Consul Lough reports that an Amer
lean vanilla firm has recently estab-
lished quarters in GuadelOupe in order
to buy green vanilla and prepare IT
for the American market.

Good Teachers a Requisite.

The boy who would become a chem
lcal expert has much to learn, observes
a writer in Boys Life. Thorough
technical education is a necessity
such an education as 1t would be prac-
tically impossible to obtain outside of
a good technical school. The field of
chemistry Is so wide and complex that
no matter how much ability and in
dustry a student may have he cannot
get very far without the help of good
instructors and n proper equipment
for experiment. An intelligent young
fellow working in an Industrial plant
may acquire by his W efforts a linn
tied knowledge of the particular field
Of his work. He will be competent to
carry on the work so long as no new
problems arise; then, however. limited
by his narrow knowledge Of the
science, he will be quite helpless.

Linking the Americas.

For the first time North and South
America are to be linked together by
regular wireless communication. De-
spite the progress in wireless cleo
tricity the region of he equator has
continued to set up a barrier against
the invisible messages. The most
powerful currents could not penetrate
the mysterious resistance known as
static" Now, at last, this problem
has been solved. Great high power
stations in the United States can now
communicate with similar stations in
Brazil. At a touch of the key at
New York or Washington the invisible
wave will overlap every barrier and
be read an instant later on the south
ern continent. The wireless will knit
closer the two western continents

trapped about four years ago by Sidney

a part of her foot in escaping from the
